Isn't the HQ-9 a SAM instead of an ASM?

Also, Human Reform League, unless something more interesting is named.

SAM = Surface to Air Missile

ASM = Air to Surface Missile

ASM?
The HQ series refers to Surface to Air Missile not the other way round.

((refers to, because Chinese hardware are generally code names))

OK, maybe submarine wasn't the best choice.... Still it provides a nice stealthy force projector that can strike in any place of the world, unlike our SAM-jet combo that is good for defending our production lines and founding nation.

Generals need codenames. My suggestion

General 1 "Mantis"
General 2 "Wasp"
General 3 "Hedgehog"
General 4 "Wolf"
General 5 "Dolphin"

On that note, the most important thing you need to do is to pick 3 of the generals to lead the 3 armies you have (Or, you know, reorganize armies and assign generals accordingly.)

Oceanian Protection Force - General 1 (because low profile is good for keeping our actions secret)

Chinese Protection force - General 2 (Bonus to air defence of homeland and its three production lines.)

East Asian protection force - General 4 (Because he is diplomat and I want good relations with Japan)

And form Submarine Force (with our submarine going here) - General 5 (because careful and efficient is what we need to use a stealthy weapon)

To make them easy to remember I propose to use 20th century Chinese politicians as names of the generals. Deal?

I like the idea but I don't know enough about 20th century Chinese politicians to name anything.

095 001 will be fine. Chinese Subs don't have names other than codenames (and NATO codenames which are Chinese dynasties).

I mean we should name the people after famous politicians to make them easier to remember.

General 1: General Mao, because he's a charismatic leader.
General 2: General Lin, because his namesake Lin Biao died in an aircrash, what an irony.
General 3: General Umar, as Bai Chongxi (who's Muslim name is Umar) is probably the best Chinese general in the century.
General 4: General Zhou, because Zhou Enlai is a reasonably good statesman and diplomat, and the second most tenacious leader in the CCP.
General 5: Genearl Deng, as he's the most tenacious man in the CCP.

Names are good for me.  What about force distribution?
