The Latin Confederation, usually referred to as the Confederation or shortened to LC, is one of three subfactions of the Soviet Union.

Official description[]

The Latin Confederation is the South-American branch of the Soviet regime, formed and funded by the Russians on Premier Romanov's orders shortly after the American influence over them has waned. Since it cannot reliably depend on high-end weapons research or the technological support from their Soviet allies as much as their peers, guerilla warfare and quick unpredictable strikes are their commonplace tactics.

As the Confederation’s army is primarily made up of outdated Soviet weaponry, the concept of using smoke to decrease enemies' effectiveness in battle, as well as heavy use of napalm of various kinds, has long been incorporated in its tactics. Their excellent infantry support and the highly skilled sharpshooter, Colonel José Arcadio Morales greatly complement this strategy. Fast as a panther and just as deadly, the Latin Confederation is a deceptively powerful force on the battlefield, ready to do the dirty work anytime.[1]

History[]

Third Great War[]

Communist states started popping up in South America not long after the Second Great War to overthrow puppet governments installed in the continent by the United States, and their number increased alarmingly just before the Third Great War. Nonetheless, the communist states soon realized they could not defeat the American oppression on their own and thus united themselves in the Socialist Confederation of Latin America for better economic and military support, and then spread the wave of revolution across South America, even Chile and Brazil were affected[2]. Even this was not sufficient however, and as a result the Confederation fostered close relations with Russia and joined the newly re-enstablished Soviet Union together with Russia and China. In 1972, they also sent the commando José Arcadio Morales to participate in a Russian recycling operation in Eastern Ukraine.

With the start of the American campaign, Latin Confederation joined the battle against United States shortly after their "boss" Russia attacked the East and West coasts, and successively captured several important cities and strongholds in the west and south (although some battles failed) and also assassinated their president, Michael Dugan. But then they lost the supply of white phosphorus weapons in Mexico.

After the Soviet Union ended the American campaign, Latin Confederation began to cross the Atlantic to support Russia and China's operations in Europe. They landed in Spain and had plans to send their Bomb Buggies into the hinterland of Europe, and they performed the action of destroying the Euro Alliance's advanced Gap Generator research base in Norway, while the native forces went to Hawaii to destroy their newly found Allied Mercury Network Uplink.

Later in the Third Great War, their European forces occupied Spain and part of France and joined the coalitions in the attack on the English Channel. After the war ends, Morales led two Latin Confederation squads in a town of southern France next to Montpellier to launch a campaign to reclaim the napalm supply. Soon after, they also destroyed the American mining base in Rabat, Morocco. With the resources obtained by occupying Africa, the Confederation established their own command center in Zaragoza and Casablanca.

Mental Omega War[]

Latin Confederation suffered much in the early stage of the Mental Omega War. The fall of Moscow culminated with their headquarters of their African expeditionary forces in Casablanca being destroyed by the Scorpion Cell, their European operations headquarters being razed to the ground by unknown muscular soldiers and a supersoldier capable of producing them, and Morales found himself trapped in Rio de Janiero from an Epsilon encirclement. Fortunately, their hero was safely evacuated after their timely response, and the remaining troops also discovered the Epsilon Army's cloning facility in Rio de Janeiro and destroyed all Cloning Vats. The Latin Confederation evacuated the bulk of its main forces in South America after this operation, and went to Chicago to capture another Psychic Amplifier built by Epsilon in the city, regaining a small foothold in North America for the Soviet Union.

The Confederation was very active during the middle of the war, and they sent some troops to support Singapore's Sino-Russian forces to resist the Epsilon Army's interception of the new alliance. Ironically however, they were more active in the subsequent "Chinese Campaign" and Morales attended all of the above activities. They assisted Russia in stealing Chinese technology in Shanghai, and then quickly went to Kashmir to eliminate Yunru and her large research base. But their final outcome was tragic - all Kashmir forces were annihilated by MIDAS, which they did not expect. Since then, they had not recovered for a long time, as Kashmir's battle became their last major battle. With the fall of Latin Confederation, the Soviet Union also believed that Yunru and most of her research results had disappeared in this explosion.

Despite their armies playing a significant role in the Soviet Union's campaigns across Asia, the majority of the countries under the Latin Confederation's banner had fallen under the Epsilon's advances as the war progressed. The large presence of Epsilon forces in Caribbean region, São Luís, and the Amazonas Rainforests made it clear the Latins were no longer able to put up significant resistance (or failed trying to do so) against their new occupiers.

It was not until Russia decided to reclaim Russia from Epsilon where the remaining Confederation armies participated, from the battle of Stalingrad all the way to the destruction of the last vestiges of PsiCorps command in Moscow. Their victory was short-lived however, and eventually fell to the Mental Omega Device along with the rest of the Soviet Union.
