That's something I'm working on for my ESU writeup for the GZGPedia (to
be followed by a web site, I hope). Speaking from my (very slight)
position of authority as the man who gave the world the words
"voyenna-kasmicheskiy flot", the approach I'm taking is that the
Russians did to the Chinese the same thing the Chinese did to the
Mongols several thousand years earlier: take over the record-keeping,
the logistics, the tedious stuff that conquering heroes don't want to
do. Then, once you're indispensable, identify yourselves as a group and
start grabbing power...
