As Chinese troops amassed near the Soviet border, the Stavka would become concerned, sensing a possible invasion if the situation in the UFSSR got worse, they would immediately call Moscow. Matthew and Dimitri would become outraged upon hearing of the situation happening on their border with China. Matthew would command the troops in the Russian Far East to move to defensive positions closer to the border in case the current situation escalated. The Soviet high command would inform the Chinese that everything was under control, also telling the Chinese to withdrawal their troops from the border.
