Story:

Uhm? Oh, you are meaning this again:

After the USA had defeated the terrorist organization nobody knows the GLA was not for a long time yet dead. The GLA hit hard again after they settled their internal balances of power: The USA could barely hold against it. They conquered quite fast whole Europe and the USA had to retreat from Europe, taking care about their own country. Until China came to play: With nuclear force China liberated Europe from the GLA and brought back world peace. The USA had failed all along the line.

  REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 7, 2003--Prepare to unleash the absolute latest in modern weapons technology against the world`s most powerful Generals in Command & Conquer(TM) Generals Zero Hour (working title). Published by Electronic Arts (Nasdaq:ERTS) and developed by EALA, Command & Conquer Generals Zero Hour is the first expansion pack* for Command & Conquer Generals and is targeted for release on the PC this fall 2003 under the EA GAMES(TM) brand.
  
  Players will wage a global war to become the ultimate General of modern warfare as they square off against the world`s most elite commanders. An all-new Generals Challenge mode will allow players to control any of 9 distinctive armies in battle through 9 computer-controlled Generals.

With new weapons such as the US Specter Gunship or Global Liberation Army (GLA) combat motorcycles, players will have all the firepower they`ll need for global domination. Three new campaigns featuring 15 new singleplayer missions challenge gamers to destroy the U.S. fleet in the Mediterranean, root out a splinter cell in Cairo, infiltrate a U.S. intelligence building, or send in special operatives to capture weapons of mass destruction.
