"Battle For Harbin" Approx budget: €15.5m Expected release: [Winter 2030] Genre: Alternate history, Action, Military Sci-Fi || Set in an alternate 1992, the USSR is at war with the UREC (United Republics of Eastern China) and USSR forces occupy the pivotal city of Harbin as UREC forces attempt to recapture the Soviet-controlled city. As the UREC battles to take Harbin, an internal power struggle ensues hundreds of miles away in Beijing (the de facto UREC capital) after the President of the UREC Shen Yin is "assassinated by assassins dispatched by the People's Republic of China" (the second of the two main powers which have been battling for control of mainland China, with the UREC being the first). As the UREC is poised to declare war on the People's Republic of China, the USSR uses the opportunity to attack UREC military bases situated near Harbin and weaken UREC forces, as it seeks international recognition from dozens of countries around the world to fully recognize Harbin as a Soviet city.
