Chinese Army

[OOC]
This is a civil war roleplay with the current government roleplayed by Lashuga, and the rebellion by me. Feel free to join in if you wish, but know that the eventual outcome is predetermined.
This is my roleplaying method of condensing my two alternative roleplay nations into one...have the first be engulfed in civil war and have it emerge as the second.
-IC-
In a nutshell, the Chinese Army leader was seizing power due to paranoia about terrorists. He had reason to; earlier, terrorists had decimated a civilian liner and were threatening to do more before Chinese Army invaded and took care of them.
As more and more freedoms were denied, a group of Senators and their domain began to feel too alienated. With the help of other nations in the region, a rebellion was secretly prepared for and hatched.
A significant chunk of Chinese Army has seceeded, led by twelve senators which increased subsequently up to twenty-one...they are still greatly outnumbered, however, and lacking in supplies.
Their goal is very lofty - to run over Chinese Army and liberate their cousins from the despotic tyranny; the goal of the tyranny is to use whatever means necessary to crush them.

The rain poured heavily on as two men huddled in their jackets, making official the greatest threat to Chinese Army sovereignty in an age. One of the men, the older of the two, tried in vain to light a cigarette.
"You know," said the younger man, regarding this attempt with mild curiosity. "That lighting a cigarette is quite futile in a downpour."
"Blasted weather," muttered the other, stuffing his Zippo lighter - if it was still functioning - into his jacket pocket.
"Indeed. Everything is in order, Mr. Holven?"
"Quite," returned the older man. "As you said, split up the country quite nicely. Westgoes to us...East...to them. Convenient, isn't it? With a lot of military up here, and all..."
Eric Holven was a thin, graying man of fifty or so, and a fairly renowned Senator in the region. He was a master military strategician and an organizational freak - he could get the job done, however, and had worked in tandem with his partner to pull off a stunningly successful and secret sneaking up of power...or so he called it.
"Basically, we've got 80-90% of the Northern/Western military loyal to us and a good deal of resources. Makes us outnumbered 7-2, but they'll be doing the attacking and we can manage with it. We have secure logistics, excellent communications...everything is rock solid, West."
The younger man, Nathan West, was a vibrant and persuasive natural-born leader, but he was also surprisingly reserved and cool-headed. What set him apart from most 30-year-old leaders in the NS world was that a) he was not female and did not dress scantily, and b) he did not have a hot, flaring temper that led him into trouble. It was because of these attributes that they had gotten this far. He wasn't a senator; he had a low profile and if any rebellion was being suspected, he wasn't the one suspected to lead it.
"That's good. Plans are all set?"
"Yep. Speech in Avalon tomorrow at noon...see you bright 'n' early." The two men turned as their respective rides pulled up beside them.
"And dry," added West mildly as he entered the rear of his car and slammed the door shut.
...
The next day, at noon, West arrived to take the podium, well guarded by highly trained secret service agents from every corner. Security was maximum. He gazed around; the old man had indeed set up everything as promised.
The area was filled with the media, cameras, and news channel helicopters. He smiled. "Good afternoon," he began, and by doing so, instigated the Chinese Army Revolution...
