Talk:Chinese Army: Special Ops Training Manual

Re: "On shelf in the Scavenger shack west from Falls Church Metro on the bridge. With Grognak the Barbarian and Duck and Cover!. You must steal it." - No path West from Falls Church Metro, just the Metro tunnel, with an impassable wall of rubble on either side. :( Dafpants 23:49, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks bunches to 66.93.60.61 for updating all three pages with better directions :-)

re: I just went through the drainage chamber and it looks like the Signal Papa November page has it right--it's Pugilism Illustrated, not the sneaky chinese book. I removed it, but I'm putting it here in case there's something I'm missing. Terminalmancer 00:07, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

Chinese
I guess the player character knows how to read Chinese. --Voidvector 04:01, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Perhaps the manual was written in English for the Chinese sleeper agents and sympathisers?

And German because Braun's notes on the failsafe would have been German likely

Although this may be entirely conjecture, perhaps the Pip-Boy 3000 may be able to translate foreign language text, allowing the PC to read books and notes in other languages. --Wanderer Lao 00:55, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Considering the fact that it improves sneak skill, it is very possible that most of it was just illustrated demonstration.

Duplicates
I think these three may refer to the same place, so, unless someone points something out, I've moved them here and made one that's a bit more clear.


 * Bathroom in Museum Station, near Museum of American History Entrance
 * Museum Station in a bathroom right near the entrance
 * In the women's bathroom in one of the Mall Metro Stations (East?) in an open wooden box on the floor.

Reasons - all three mention the bathroom, two mention the museum station, and in the station in front of the museum, in a restroom is a copy of this book in a wooden box, tying in the third.24.174.163.173 02:45, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

Minor Changes
1&1/2 minor changes: 1) I pulled the part mentioning a reference to Mao's Little Red Book. Red is the color of the communist party, and most chinese propoganda is red as a result. 2) The Terminals in Fallout (Such as in Op Anchorage) have shown that they can "translate" Chinese, but is this because of the computer software, or because the PipBoy is exporting a translation ability to the computer? --RedTracer7 15:13, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

I have found this in fallout 2
In Fallout 2 there is an Chinese Army: Special Ops Manual that you can find in the Shi Submarine. ( which can only be gotten in through the restoration project ). i still dont know the purpose of it but im trying to figure out. --Zaraster 11:34, 01 June, 2010

Another Chinese Army book discovered in FNV?
Hi, I tried to edit the wiki but I've never done it before so maybe somebody with experience can do it for me.

I think I've discovered a new Chinese Army book. After I talked to Malcolm Holmes (the Sarsparilla Star bottlecap guy) I attempted to pickpocket him but he caught me. Then I bartered with him and the book was available in his inventory for sale. The book does NOT appear in his inventory if you barter with him without getting caught pickpocketing.

Is this something new? Is it unique to Holmes or does it happen the first time you're caught pickpocketing with anybody you can trade with as a kind of lesson for new players? I tested this out by loading an earlier save and getting caught pickpocketing a couple of other traders but the book does not appear in their inventory for sale.71.198.143.166 05:00, November 20, 2010 (UTC)

I checked and it is not his book he confiscated yours because it was marked as stolen 24.215.89.226 06:32, February 10, 2011 (UTC)a noob
