Sheng Doctrine

The Sheng Doctrine is the foundation of the military policy of the Jingdaoese administration during the reign of the Sheng Emperor. The emperor first and foremost wanted to restore Jingdaoese rule over all the territories that had been lost to the Kingdom of Jexit. At the same time the emperor noted that the irredentist tendencies in Shireroth over what used to be Kildare still faced a threat to Jingdao. The Sheng Emperor also wished to avoid a new nuclear disaster, like the Obedience Destruction.

Sheng Doctrine

1. That the efforts of the Jingdaoese Armed Forces are to be limited to the direct protection of Jingdaoese territory, as recognized by the MCS, and Jingdaoese shipping, only in retaliation for an attack on Jingdaoese soil, will Jingdao deploy its military to other sovereign states.
2. That the Jingdaoese Armed Forces will refrain from aggressive posturing, but will show their capability to respond to external and internal aggression.
3. That the Jingdaoese Armed Forces will refrain from producing and using nuclear and biological weapons, or the indiscriminate use of land mines in areas accessible to civilians and that in war time civil casualties be avoided when possible.
4. That the efforts of the Jingdaoese Armed Forces when deployed should be directed towards restoring order and loyalty towards the Heavenly Light and the removal of unhelpful elements.
