Genghis Gambit: Difference between revisions

* ''[[Super Robot Wars Original Generation|Super Robot Wars: Original Generations]]'': This is Bian Zoldark's hidden motivation (and the game that inspired the story arc, ''[[Super Robot Wars 2]]''). He organizes the Divine Crusaders in a bid to conquer the world, figuring that either he will unite the world's powers against an alien threat -- or the world's powers will unite against ''him'', either way being better prepared for the invasion to come.<br /><br />He uses a double-layered version of this trope. He's able to create the Divine Crusaders in the first place thanks to a [[False-Flag Operation]] where one of his agents provoked the aliens during a secret [[Peace Conference]], then wipes out both forces. He then broadcasts a speech making it look like the aliens attacked government forces that were planning to surrender to them. So he makes the aliens look like the bad guys so he can unite his forces into being the bad guys to unite the world against the aliens that actually ''are'' the bad guys {{spoiler|and then the aliens at the peace conference turn out to be a different race conveniently disguised as the bad guys and oh god it's so confusing when it's compressed like this.}}

* ''[[Wild Arms 2]]'': {{spoiler|Irving Vold Valeria}} finances the terrorist group Odessa specifically so {{spoiler|1=he would have an excuse to make ARMs an international strike force to better combat a different threat later on. It should probably be noted that he was also willing [[Xanatos Gambit|to use Odessa for this if]] ''[[Xanatos Gambit|they]]'' [[Xanatos Gambit|won]].}}

* ''[[Modern Warfare]] 2'': Played terrifyingly straight. {{spoiler|General Shepherd}} deliberately incites a shooting war with Russia in order to {{spoiler|instill patriotism, incite volunteers to the military, and unify America. If this sounds a little [[Anvilicious]], it comes across that way in the game, too. The death screens even warn about the dangers of excessive patriotism.}}

* In ''Front Mission Evolved'', Cornelius Werner tries this by {{spoiler|pointing a [[Kill Sat]] at all the world capitals}}.
