A cruel and effective taskmaster and a ruthlessly efficient tactician, General Jingwei leads the Communist forces in their sweep across Alaska, until stopped by U.S. forces near the city of Anchorage. Carrying a potent shocksword, Jingwei is a formidable foe who is prone to bouts of savagery and who demands unquestioning loyalty from his soldiers. He is a real menace but always fights with a sense of honor, however twisted his reasoning becomes.[1]
Operation: Anchorage!: When the player first sees him, he is calmly executing an American captive with his shocksword in the midst of the battle between American T-51b units and Chinese soldiers, after which the player may deal with him either through a Speech check or through combat.
He can be convinced to fall on his own sword via Speech, or can be killed in combat by the Lone Wanderer during the Anchorage Reclamation simulation. His shocksword can be obtained in the armory after the simulation is completed, suggesting that Jingwei was indeed killed or captured in combat. A successful Speech check can convince him to commit suicide. A Charisma of 4 and Speech of 90 will allow a 100% success chance.
General Jingwei is a "boss" character with an extremely high durability. His uniform and hat have a combined damage resistance of 31 at 100% condition. Because of this armor and the general's incredibly large amount of health (more than 1000 HP at higher levels), he is almost as durable as a super mutant behemoth.
Jingwei's uniform is more detailed compared to the rank-and-file Chinese BDU's. His uniform is camouflaged, while normal jumpsuits appear to be tan or, in Operation: Anchorage, white. His uniform also has shoulderboards which are not featured on any other Chinese uniform.
General Jingwei is first mentioned in Fallout 2, on the Shi Emperor Computer in the History section. It is said he originally ordered the Shi-huang-ti to intercept American ships on the Alaskan coast and is likewise documented in the database as the last acting Frontline Commander of the People's Liberation Army stationed in Anchorage, Alaska.
ps3pc Prior to starting the last level, you will see him kill the American soldier, the T-51b soldiers and Chinese will fight around you and Jingwei, but you and he will be stuck, with him staring at you while T-51b soldiers and Chinese soldiers keep spawning. This seems to always happen on PC if you die or start the autosave of entering the battlefield any other way. To fix this you have to load a previous save or restarting the game. On the PC it is possible to fix this through killing Jingwei using the console. [verified]
