General Tsing Shi Tao was a Chinese Class AAA general serving in the People's Liberation Army during the GLA conflict. General Tsing's focus on nuclear energy earned him the moniker of the 'Nuclear General'. Although his impatience and heavy reliance on often untested and unstable nuclear technology has led to a number of costly accidents - including the Mudanjiang Disaster of 2014 - Tsing's talents as a tactician saved his career. More recently, Tsing's convictions have paid off, and he has fielded a number of buildings and units improved by more affordable and more advanced nuclear power generators.

General Tsing was stationed at Base Ox, Chengdu, and his Combat Number was 0000-000000-1.

[edit] Army

Although China's Nuclear Reactors were already the most effective on the battlefield, General Tsing sought to improve them further. His Advanced Nuclear Reactors generated much more power, saving time and money. All of Tsing's Main Battle Tanks were nuclear-powered to improve their speed and came with uranium shells as standard, unlike those of most Chinese generals, again saving money. The shells loaded in Tsing's tanks spread radiation upon impact, which although making the battlefield messy helped in dealing with enemy infantry. The Isotope Stability upgrade could be purchased by General Tsing to prevent his tanks destroying each other when hit. In the air, General Tsing's Carpet Bomber dropped tactical nukes, his MiGs could be upgraded to fire tactical nukes, and his Helix helicopters could also be upgraded to drop small nuclear bombs. Finally, General Tsing did not have to spend his promotional points on the Nuke Cannon: it was available as standard.

[edit] Flaws and Personality

His obsession with anything nuclear related was almost his undoing on many occasions, as many opposing generals took advantage of all the volatile nuclear material scattered around his base. However, he usually just launched nuke after nuke at his enemies, not giving them any time to react. He usually would welcome his opponent with a display of his nuclear arsenal, using Nuke Cannons to obliterate the recon force usually sent ahead while the base was being built. By contrast, General Tao often displayed a callous disregard for the well-being of his infantry, sometimes ordering them to march directly through acres of radioactive slag in his haste to throw them at the enemy.

Regardless unlike the other 2 Chinese generals all Chinese units were available to him, including Inferno Cannons, Dragon Tanks, Troop Crawlers, Battlemasters and Overlord Tanks.
