Communist Insurgency in Oceania

Communist Insurgency in Oceania will be a historical conflict that will take over of the whole Oceania between Oceanic Empireball and Oceanian Communist Unionball.

Australian Revolution and Civil War
Result: Oceanic Empire victory.

In Australia the communist revolution took place in the conflict between PR Australiaball and the former loyalists that founded the Oceanic Empireball. The revolution started in New South Wales when the revolutionaries to the city of Sydney and officially founded a parallel government, the PR Australiaball. Later they successfully expanded to the rest of the country following a revolutionary wave that came from the interior.

The NAUball then founded the Oceanic Empireball with New NATOball in an attempt to take it back and kill PR Australiaball, the Anti-Communist War in Australia started.

After two years of combat, PR Australiaball was defeated and its leaders fled to Norfolk Island, joining the Oceanian Communist Unionball that continued claiming mainland Australia but had no power to take it back. Russian Greater SFSRball support for Australia was not enough, Russia had the fear that if it started sending a lot of troops to Australia, NATO would use it as an excuse to start a conflict in Europe.

The battle of Norfolk Island was the last major point of the Australian Revolution, following the defeat of the revolution in New Zealand by NATO aggression, Russian Greater SFSRball decided to send forces to Oceania in order to assist their revolutionary friends after one of their generals were killed in New Zealand.

NATO planned to take the island and capture the Irish-Australian communist leader Hugh O'Flannery, but the Russian ships protected the island and the anti-aircrafts destroyed one enemy warplane that had been bombing the island for days. The battle was one of the first events that later gave origins to the following Operations "Sunrise" and was also a Russian victory.

New Zealand and dependencies (Niue, Tokelau and Cook Islands)
Result: Oceanic Empire victory in New Zealand. Communist victory in Tokelau, Niue and Cook Islands

The communist insurgency in New Zealand was complex. New Zealand was broken when the revolution started, the collapse of an actual working government like in Australia worried the anti-communists of Oceania. They answered by launching the Oceanic Empireball and making an internal transition of the former New Zealander government to it, without referendum or any democratic means.

The communist revolution started in the mainland and almost half of the South Island had been taken by communist insurgents that had the support of most Maori community. The Oceanic Empire troops allied with a New NATOball coallition vannished the communists from the South and North Islands, ending their revolution in the mainland. Russian Greater SFSRball sent troops and military advisors to help the communists in the last battle, they still hold an insurgency in Canterbury but they were ultimately defeated.

Russia got mad that NATO killed its officers in Canterbury and sent ships and a large squad to assist the communists in taking the Cook Islands, Niue and Tokelau, in which the NATO and Oceanic Empire were in point of occupying. In the battle of the South Pacific Ocean, the Russian ships sank three NATO ships and prevented them from assisting in the invasion of Niue and Tokelau as well as th expansion of anti-communist forces to Eastern South Pacific. The communists were in control of those three New Zealander dependences, and keeping it was vital in the chess game. The Empire forces who reached Niue and Tokelau were not strong enough after the main ships were destroyed and though a lot of destruction was caused during the battles because of the bombs, the communists still had won with Russian help after taking some planes down, their victory prevented the Empire from reaching the Cook Islands and starting a new brutal battle there.

In the end all New Zealand mainland was taken Oceanic Empireball but communist rebels managed to stay with Niue, Tokelau and the Cook Islands with the help of Russian Greater SFSRball that prevented the expansion of anti-communist forces to the East of South Pacific. Those three were the only ones who born from the early New Zealander revolution, they joined the Oceanian Communist Unionball. The Soviets installed its large military base in Oceania in Niue, also training camps.

Operation Sunrise 4 and 5 (Fiji)
Result: Anti-Communist victory

In Fiji the revolution started before the Oceanian Communist Unionball developed proper plans to the island, which made it difficult to managed at the beginning. The revolutionaries had huge support among the Indo-Fijians, being the leader of the communist party Ranjit Chakarvarti a member of the community. However, due to the sectarian nature of the island and religious influence among the native Fijians, the island was considered one of the most anti-communists of Oceania.

The democratic government was couped by factions of the army after the revolution broke, the power started to be exercised by vigilantist military groups. After some months, a bunch of military officers decided to unify with the Oceanic Empireball and an Operation Sunrise was launched to take control of most of Fiji. Suva was taken in a bloody battle that resulted in the destruction of most national infrastructure, the communist guerrillas still continued showing fiercly resistance in the rest of the country.

The Oceanic Empireball that had to fight other insurgencies, decided to give the task of annihilating the communists to a line of military officials. They received money and arms, using it to fund a lot of far-right death squads and christian extremist groups. Some of these arms ended up in the hands of a warlord named Epeli Tanoa, who was not affiliated with the army. He ended up massacring hundreds of civilians in the islands the communists had some influence.

The death squads of Tanoa cleaned up most of the remote areas of the archieplago from communist activity. After it, the Oceanic Empireball formally arrested him after some clashes with his troops. They were supposed to extradict him for his crimes, but they decided not, allowing him to live quietly in his village away from politics. With Tanoa out, the Oceanic Empire started to take full military control of Fiji.

The Oceanian Communist Unionball tried to take proveit from the lack of central power in the island after Tanoa was wasted out and sent some militants from New Caledonia in order to aid the revolutionaries but ended up failing with the boats sunk by the Fijian navy. Some still managed to reach the island and re-organized the few militants who survived the persecutions of Tanoa and the army, starting a new low scale insurgency.

The communists were once again defeated and this time the Empire used warplanes and ships to crush the remaining guerrillas. Essentially the failure of the revolution in Fiji was attributed to the massive influence christian fundamentalists and ethnic nationalists had in the national politics.

A lot of Indo-Fijians fled the island because of the conflicts, Greater Indiaball had however funded some Hindutva groups among the community that worked with some military officers in order to sabotage the activities of the communists.

Operation Sunrise 6 (Solomon Islands, a spillover of the Papuan conflict)
Result: Anti-Communist victory

The Solomon Islands had agreed to cooperate with the Oceanic Empireball against Papua in exchange of receiving the island of Bouganville as war booty. Communist Papuaball had before claimed the islands as part of "Greater Papua".

During the Third Papuan War, the Empire launched an Operation Sunrise from the islands against the Papuans in Bouganville after the local anti-communist rebel leader was killed. The operation however failed and the Papuans resisted, killing most of the Empire's mercenaries, capturing their military stuff and even destroying planes and ships with Soviet help. After that the Soviets and later the Chinese installed a military base in the island and made everything more difficult to the Empire.

The Solomon Islands were in a strategic position as the communists planned to form a siege against New Zealand and Australia from Papua through the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, New Caledonia, Fiji and Tonga. If in control of these they could with Soviet and Chinese help start thinking of reclaiming the big islands. It was the perfect time for a communist counter attack, the Papuan leader called on his supporters in the Solomon Islands to rise up against the imperialists and free the motherland.

The attempt of invasion against the islands was complex and many claim the Papuans were almost winning, but in face of that the Empire made a desperate move in order to convince the Soviets from stop the Papuans. They threatened to detonate an old American military base with nuclear armament in an island of Samoa, if detonated, it would destroy most of the archipelago. In Samoa the communists were also winning against the anti-communist side the Empire supported. In face of this, the Soviets convinced the Papuans to abandon the military offensive and just retreat, in contrast, the Empire recognized the victory of the communists in Samoa and some other islands.

The Oceanian Communist Unionball and the Soviets said they were victorious at the end as they stopped a genocide and ultimately put an end at the plans of the Empire in expanding to the South Pacific. Pro-Papuan communist rebels in the Solomon Islands were however shut down and there was few the communists could do to aid them, after negotiations, some of their leaders were allowed to take exile in Papua and other communist islands.

Nauru, Vanuatu, Wallis and Futunas
Result: Oceanic Empire victory. Communist revolution failed.

Oceanic Empireball annexed all those countries before and defeated the communist revolts there.

Operation Sunrise 8 and 9 (The Samoan War)
Result: Communist victory

Communist brigades from Niue and Tokelau went to Samoa in order to aid local revolutionaries that set fire on the national assembly after that approved a project of unifying with the Oceanic Empireball. With Apia taken, the communists founded a transitional government, but the rest of the island was taken by a warlord named Uli Miru who united some tribal chieftains to resist the communists. Miru showed fierce resistance against the communists, killing and hanging hundreds of them including a Chinese advisor. French Polynesian troops were sent to crush the warlord and after some bloody clashes Miru forces were ambushed and he was executed by a firing squad, the tribal chiefs loyal to him faced the same destiny.

The Oceanic Empireball attempts of allying with Miru failed, so they launched an Operation Sunrise to take the American Samoa, that was under military occupation of ex-NAU officers who had been defending it from communist attacks, there they crushed the internal communist rebels. The communists from Western Samoa were unhappy and launched their own Operation Sunrise to liberate the islands of the East, the offensive occured with a coordenate attack against the Solomon Islands plus rising insurgencies in Vanuatu and Fiji. With the succesful arrivals, American Samoa was falling apart as the population rised up against the military government once more.

Without many options and in risk of ending up losing completely the war board, the Empire threatened to use as last resource the detonation of former NAU nuclear bases in Samoa to stop the communists. The Soviets and the Oceanian communists then negotiated the withdrawal of communist Papuans from the Solomon Islands and agreed to low the support to revolutionaries in other islands. As a result of these negotiations, all of Samoa was left alone and under the control of the communists, with the old nuclear bases deactivated.

Having a strategic position, Samoa would be later very important during the attempts of the communists taking Fiji, Tonga and Vanuatu.

Operation Sunrise 10 (Palau)
Ling Chinaball considered the Oceanic Empireball to be an imperialist force that was violating the territorial integrity of the Great People's Republic of the Philippinesball by keeping an active military presence at the Philippine Sea. Supposedly the People’s Swordball was operating training camps in Filipino islands aiming at recruiting volunteers to participate in insurgencies against former NAUball dependencies, such as Guam and Northern Mariana Islands and other nearby targets such as Palau. As we can see, the Philippine Sea was a region of dispute between the Chinese and the Oceanic Empireball.

Palau was located in a strategic position, as the anti-communist forces felt they were been sieged by the communists in the Philippine Sea that they had few space, they feared for a communist offensive that would take their military positions in the North Pacific Ocean and then threat Japanese Unionball as well. Ling Chinaball, Republic of Nusantaraball and the Great People's Republic of the Philippinesball had been building military installations and artificial islands in the Philippine Sea that according to the Oceanic Empireball were aimed at sieging Palau and the other islands on its north.

During one night, the government headquarters in Koror was attacked by a bunch of communist militants in an Operation Sunrise that sieged it and threatened the officials, they came from the Philippines and were either members of the People’s Swordball or affiliates trained by it. A small scale insurgency started in other parts of Palau as consequence of that and the Oceanic Empireball accused Ling Chinaball of being behind that, telling them to order the militants to leave the politicians alone. China however ignored.

The Oceanic Empireball then started bombing the Chinese and Filipino artificial islands and military bases, also destroying a fleet that was coming in the direction of Palau, their anti-insurgency units managed to defeat the militants who sieged the government headquarters in the Palauan capital also after some weeks. From the militants killed, a lot were Chinese and Filipinos, with some being Palauan just, the Empire reforced its point that the insurgency was all a plot of Ling Chinaball to take Palau. The Chinese community fled the island following the incident.

Ling Chinaball then made a lot of threats against the Oceanic Empireball and bombed their newest military base in Palau, accusing them of trying to install a nuclear facility there aimed to threat its Filipino and Nusantaran allies. As a consequence of that, the Chinese increased their military presence in the region and started to build artificial islands even more near to Oceanic Empireball dominions.

Operation Sunrise 11 and 12 (Guam and Northern Mariana Islands)
Ling Chinaball hold a huge hate for the fact that NAUball occupied Guam and Northern Mariana Islands, as well as Palau. Because this limited for a long time China from taking a more active participation in the communist insurgencies over Oceania because of the blockade NAU used to do together with Japanese Unionball on everything East to Taiwan and the Philippines, preventing China from directly helping their allies in other parts of the Pacific Ocean. As was said before, China had built military bases and artificial islands in waters near to Guam and Northern Mariana Island saying they were trying to protect the sovereignty of their local allies, though others accused them of attempting to siege the islands and not recognizing international waters.

With the fall of NAUball, the Chinese finally got their chance to kick the Westerners out of both Guam and Northern Mariana Islands. The Oceanic Empireball was however quick to take the two in cooperation with the ex-NAU army stationed in the island, as they knew that if the Chinese took the islands they would expand to all of the North Pacific Ocean, taking the old nuclear facilities of NAU, threatening Japanese Unionball in the north and going south down to the Solomon Islands to threat Australia. The Chinese then backed a communsit insurgency in Guam and Northern Mariana Islands as they were still building a new government following the collapse of NAUball into the civil war, an Operation Sunrise started when communist brigades deployed from Filipino islands in order to aid local communists in Guam and later the Northern Mariana Islands.

Both Guam and Northern Mariana Islands had received many right-wing Filipino exiles after the communists took over the country, and they had a huge influence among the local Filipinos who were 30% and 40% of the islands population. Great People's Republic of the Philippinesball had accused NAUball of creating a safe haven for the opposition in the two territories, and among those people many were war criminals wanted by the government who were still commanding anti-communist activities in the Philippines from there, it was a headache.

The Filipino government then together with the Chinese secret service, started to send agents to infiltrate into the Filipino community in Guam and Northern Mariana Islands, aiming to create dissidence by spreading anti-Americanism. At the end they had partial success and many local Filipinos took part in the communist uprising. The native Chamorros on the other hand were split and while many young ones supported the communists, a lot, including more conservative tribal leaders opposed it as they feared they would lost power and influence.

Ling Chinaball tried to assist the communists many times, by sending brigades from the People’s Swordball to fight there through their training camps in the Philippines that were the origins of most rebels. China also bombed the ships of the Oceanic Empireball that dared to come near their military bases in the Philippine Sea and also would send them military aid through planes.

At the end, the Oceanic Empireball together with far-right Filipino death squads managed to resume control of the territories, though the communists fought fiercly and would continue with isolated insurgencies in remote parts, mostly in Chamorro communities were the Filipinos had less influence. The conflicts were terrible and resulted in the deaths of a lot of people, many Filipinos also fled the islands. The Empire also started to develop nuclear facilities in the Northern Mariana Islands with the intention of intimidating China as they saw it didn't stop building artificial islands with military bases in the Philippine Sea.

A second insurgency had supposedly being attempted, but it ended up when the Chinese advisors were captured and China had to bargain for their release.

Operation Sunrise 13 (Micronesia)
Micronesia was in a very strategic and important position, because it was between Palau and Nauru, two members of the Oceanic Empireball, above it there was Marshall Islands who was surroundeud by former NAUball military bases from East, West and North. The Micronesian government even under extreme pressure of the Oceanic Empireball had decided to join the Oceanian Communist Unionball due to its close relations with Ling Chinaball.

In face of this, the Oceanic Empireball launched an Operation Sunrise to kidnap the Micronesian president and prevent it from joining the Oceanian Communist Unionball. They had to act quickly, so mercenaries left an old NAUball military base under the jurdiscation of the Empire in Guam and arrived at night in Palikir, kidnapping the president and bringing him to an unknown location.

After the kidnap, Ling Chinaball fleets stationed at their bases in Papua left it to Micronesia and stayed on the island in order to defend it from upcoming raids. During their patrols through Micronesian waters, they managed to capture some of these mercenaries next to an atol of the Caroline Islands, they were "interrogated" and revealed the president was being kept in the old NAUball military base of Wake Island. The Chinese started to talk with the Oceanic Empireball to negotiate the release of the president or else they would go to fully war against their positions in Palau, Guam and Northern Mariana Islands till they could reach the Wake Island.

After a bunch of threats, they agreed that in order to release the president, Ling Chinaball would have to evacuate its new "wall of aritificial islands" built around Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands with the Great People's Republic of the Philippinesball. The Chinese agreed so and the president returned to Micronesia and it could finally formally join the Oceanian Communist Unionball.

However the Chinese and their Filipino allies didn't evacuate most of the artificial islands and accused the Oceanic Empireball of violating the sovereignty of the Great People's Republic of the Philippinesball as well as the one of the Oceanian Communist Unionball. When an Empire ship arrived next to one of these islands to certificate it was evacuated, it was destroyed by the Chinese, killing everyone. The Empire responded by bombing several Micronesian allies and attacking Filipino military positions in the Philippine Sea. Ling Chinaball called them cowards for not engaging in direct combat and killing civilians and other people.

The lines in the water made no sense at the end and nobody knew where the Chinese and Filipino positions started or ended as well as the ones of the Oceanic Empireball. Overall the Micronesian-Papuan water link was the most disputed and violent part of Oceania, the Oceanic Empireball claimed most of those waters belonged to them as part of Palau, Nauru and Solomon Islands while the rest were international ones, therefore the communists couldn't use that space to transit between Papua and Micronesia, the communists however said it was just an attempt of violating the Papuan and Micronesian sovereignty over their waters. Therefore, Papuan, Chinese and Soviet ships would enter in conflict with Empire ones every single time, many incidents would take place there.

Kiribati
Result: Communist victory.

In Kiribati, a group of around 40 Gilbertese communists trained by Soviet instructors in Niue went to it through Tokelau and captured the preisdent, forcing him to renounce and proclaiming the people's republic, later uniting it with the Oceanian Communist Unionball.

The revolution was popular with many in the islands which made anti-communist rebels difficult to be funded. After the Oceanic Empireball tried to claim territorial waters of Kiribati to Nauru and launched some naval attacks against it, the Koreans installed nuclear missiles there in a shared nuclear project with the government to scare them away.

Marshall Islands, French Polynesia, New Caledonia, Tuvalu, Pitcairn Islands
Result: Communist victory.

In these countries the communist rebels defeated the forces of Oceanic Empireball and created communist republics.



Papua
Result: Communist victory but continuous anti-communist insurgency.

The conflicts in Papua were long and complex, but the communists won at the end. The main events were the First Papuan War, Anti-Communist War in Australia, Second Papuan War, Papuan-Indonesian War, Third Papuan War.

Operation Sunrise 14 (Tonga)
Result: Tongan goverment victory.

Tonga was allied with Oceanic Empireball and had shut down leftist parties and trade unions some years before to prevent the development of a revolution like that of Fiji and Samoa. Operation Sunrise 10 was focused in Tonga, and started with a brigade of the Communist Party of the Peoples of Oceania leaving Niue with the objective of taking Tonga, capturing the president and annexing it to the Oceanian Communist Unionball.

The brigade had around 200 fighters and they arrived in the island of Vava'u, they supposedly had around 100 local supporters in the entire archipelago. Following riots in the capital city of Nuku'alofa, the Tongan government sent its army to stop the insurgencies while also calling the Oceanic Empire for help.

The Tongan government claimed a Soviet official was with them but managed to escape with other 10 in a Soviet ship that bought them to Niue following their defeat.

Operation Sunrise 15 and the Hawaiian Revolution
Result: Communist victory.

Following the Second American Civil War, with the collapse of NAUball, Hawaii would automatically fell under Nazi Americaball control. However, Hawaii was like the Northern Marianas, Guam other former NAU entities in Oceania transferred through a non official declaration since it had already collpased to the Oceanic Empireball.

But in Hawaii the revolution triumphed, there was a lot of popular mobilization, different from other islands. Following the first year the socialists managed to defeat the anti-communist insurgents and mercenaries of the Oceanic Empireball, thanks to the participation of the New Soviet Unionball that started the Operation Sunrise 15 in order to defend the sea of Hawaii from enemy ships.

The Soviet troops that landed in Hawaii allowed them to defend themselves and prevent an annexation by the Oceanic Empire. They allied with Oceanian Communist Unionball.

Another Operation Sunrise that became also known as the "Battle of the Atolls" was launched by the Oceanic Empireball in order to take the Johnston Atoll, Midway Atoll, Kingman Reef and Palmyra Atoll around Hawaii. The Hawaiian authorities knew they sent ships to occupy those places in order bo build military bases to threat the Hawaiian revolution, therefore the Soviets went there to face the Empire's fleet. The battle was fierce but the Empire finally retreated and the Soviets gave the Atolls and Reefs to the Hawaiian authorities.

Russia
The Russian Greater SFSRball and Byelorussian-Ukrainian SRball actively supported and assisted the Oceanian Communist Unionball both in military and economics. Russia was involved in many battles of the war, with its ships being used to defend and attack the enemy positions.

Highlighting the Battle of Canterbury in which Russian officers were killed and its cruiser sent to assist the troops was destroyed by New NATOball forces. To take revenge, the Russians sunk three NATO warships near to the Cook Islands and defended it from being taken by the Oceanic Empire. They were also involved in the Battle of the Norfolk Island, the three Battles of the South Pacific Ocean, in which the first was a victory and the two other ones stalemates, plus the innumerous Operations Sunrise.

It also sent its nuclear submarines that saved them from being nuked or invaded by America and also built ultramarine basis on their islands.

China
During the Chang administration, Ling Chinaball declared support to the communists and sent them weapons. The communists of the People’s Swordball reportedly sent troops to fight together with the Oceanian Communist Unionball under Chang's request.

Chinese ships also participated in different battles and were protecting Papuan waters from Oceanic Empireball raids. Chinese were also accused together with the Filipinos of trying many times to take Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands in order to destroy the old military bases of NAUball that supposedly hold nuclear capacities and could threat it.

Korea
The government of United Koreaball declared support to the Oceanian Communist Unionball and sent them missiles able to hit New Zealand if necessary. It also sent scientists to assist in the development of their nuclear project. The action was condemned by the opponents.

Nusantara
The Republic of Nusantaraball was actively supporting Oceanian Communist Unionball but then with the problems emerging in Communist Papuaball that managed to be the greatest protector of the Communists in Oceania, the support ceased until Russia proposed an agreement between the two.

Philippines
The Great People's Republic of the Philippinesball were a main supporter of the Oceanian Communist Unionball and were involved in many operations against targets of the Oceanic Empireball together with Ling Chinaball. They used to cooperate with China against the right-wing Filipino opposition that was exiled in Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands.

Others
Part of the International Socialist Blocball like Sovereign Republic of Iranball, Fourth Hellenic Republicball, Mohasherwani Afghanistanball, United Arab Republicball, New Vietnamball, New Kampucheaball and New Kazakhbrick showed support to Oceanian Communist Unionball too.

America
Under NAUball America actively supported and assisted the Oceanic Empireball many times with its own army, besides arming their military. America many times bombed communist targets in different islands, which was however condemned by the opposition.

Britain
The Second British Empireball navy was an active force in assisting the Oceanic Empireball on its war and counter insurgency conflicts.

Israel
The Jewish Empirecube was supporting the Oceanic Empireball with air defense and war planes. Also is reported that Israel had military basis in some of their islands and both Israeli planes and ships were militarily operating there.

India
When Greater Indiaball reached its peak, they became very anti communist and expanded their policies around the world after being segregated by the FEAUball in Asia. Part of this included military support to the Oceanic Empireball, since India couldn’t have access to most of the Pacific Ocean due to the blockades. Some Indian soldiers were sent too, also many people of the Indian diaspora in Oceania fought for them, however also a considerable number became communist and joined the Oceanian Communist Unionball.

Others
Many other countries affiliated with the Americans declared support to Oceanic Empireball.
