Slaughter more civilians. China can't function without them.

Slaughter more civilians. China can't function without them.

Unfortunately, it doesn't track the number of dead civilians as a metric.

1938

After the decision to begin releasing nations to govern themselves under our wing, the decision was made to keep eastern Mongolia in our hands until after the Chinese could be dealt with, but that left a large chunk of western, unneeded land. Seeing that some of the land belonged to native, and culturally distinct Tuvans, the decision was to release Tuva as a seperate nation from the Mongolia that would release at a later date.

On January the 10th, news came that the Qing-Shanqing war was finally over. Though Shanqing Tianguo had held out for over a year against a much larger, stronger opponent, the battle was over, allowing Qing to focus on other things. Still, many in the Japanese 'Bakufu' felt that the initiative was still in the Japanese Empire's field.

Later that month, news came that Taiwan, the long-ailing island off the coast of China, was now pacified, and could be considered a safe, happy part of the Japanese Empire. The revolts and unrest of the last year seemed to be a thing of the past now. Troops could move from Taiwan to more important posts, and the industry of the island could begin working at full speed.

As time passed, the Japanese Empire's Army continued to build up along their border with the Qing. The Intelligence Services of Japan managed to halt and expose an Australasian plot to discredit and smear the Empire's international relations, proving yet again that they were utter shitcunts.

And meanwhile, in America, bad news appeared. The USA finally defeated the last remnant of the AUS, and as was feared, immedietly declared war upon the PSA, our friend. To make matters larger: The PSA had joined the alliance with Canada, Delhi, and National France, pulling Canada into total war with the USA.

Then, disastrously, the Qing somehow made a deal with Germany to take claim of the entirity of China (Save for the land we hold, the land held by the Yunnan Clique, and the Legation Cities). This meant that our war with the Qing would be more difficult, especially if we waited for much longer.

Below is a current map of the potential conflict:

Preparations are made, and orders are given...But, at the same time, the America-Canadian war has begun in full swing, as Canadian swept in, annexing New England and doing well in the east, while America's newly forged-in-fire army punches hard in the west. Meanwhile, Japan's Russian 'friends' finished destroying and annexing Turkestan.

But then, our secret plan on the Qing border takes effect, on April the 3rd. Our Garrison along the Japanese-Qing Railroad was ordered to stage an incident, killing several Manchurians and Japanese, and painting the incident as the fault of Chinese soldiers. With the trap set, we gave our demands: The Chinese would grant Japan several large tracts of land, including the city of Beijing. The plan was that the Chinese would refuse, giving us a valid reason for war...

But instead, they agreed. The move was baffling, but initiative was taken. The move meant several Chinese divisions along the border were pulled back now that the land belonged to us, and would take weeks to resupply and set up, while our own troops could move into the new land easily, and prepare for the next step.

One week later, The Japanese Empire declared war upon the Qing, and thus began the largest war in Asia since before even Showa's reign.

(No vote this time. The war will be detailed in the next post, tomorrow or monday. Feel free to post any comments until then  )

WAR WITH QING CHINA WAR WITH QING CHINA WAR WITH QING CHINA WAR WITH QING CHINA WAR WITH QING CHINA WAR WITH QING CHINA WAR WITH QING CHINA WAR WITH QING CHINA WAR WITH QING CHINA WAR WITH QING CHINA WAR WITH QING CHINA WAR WITH QING CHINA

War has erupted with the Qing. Now, Japanese mettle and new techniques, strategy and equipment will face it's first real test. The following stills will be shown with little, short accompanyment (save for non-war related updates). For the first bit, red will be used to differentiate Japanese land with newly captured Chinese land to avoid confusion, until a point arrives where it is no longer needed.

Wartime Propaganda was in full force for the Second Sino-Japanese War.

Initial moves from Japanese forces in the Northeast were nearly unopposed.

Major General Jack McJimsey's Foreign troops landed to the south, catching the Qing by surprise. After the Chinese willingly granted us Beijing, Nanjing became their new capital, and in a single move, Japanese forces are within walking distance of taking it thanks to our naval dominance.

Four days after landing in Nantong, McJimsey sacked Nanjing.

By early June, the conflict had finally heated up, Japanese landgrabbing turning into a brutal slog, only moved ahead by smart Japanese maneuvering with tank and armored forces, thanks to Odagiri and Rommel's doctrine.

By Mid-July, the Nanjing pocket finally linked up with the Northern front, finally giving Japan total control of the Northeast of China.

August was mostly slow, though in the Philippines, a new Japanese Naval Base was set up. Soon after this, tides began to turn even more in Japanese favor.

Constant encirclements like this meant that Chinese Divisions, tens of thousands of men, were caught on all sides by Japanese troops and slaughtered.

By Mid-September, China had obviously been lost, the Qing and Yunnan Clique only holding on to southern China by a thread.

And finally, on October the 15th, 1938, China was fully annexed by the Japanese empire. Victory day had arrived in 7 months, less than a year. Japan's new style of combat and governance had proven it's effectiveness, and parades celebrated the victory in the streets of Japan.

Meanwhile, in America, the USA resurgent finally took out their Canadian rivals, annexing Canada, worryingly. Though the PSA still stood, it became uncertain if North America would end up as a friend of an enemy in the future.

For now, though, questions that were more important arrived to the Emperor Regent Yasuhito's Cabinet: What to do with Chinese lands now, and where to focus next. Vote time, minna!

Let's sit in China for a little bit.

What can we do instead of expansionism?

What can we do instead of expansionism?

Not much, unfortunately. Expand, or prepare to expand.

[ScumbagSoldier]

Republic.

What does the middle thing on the other choice do?

Republic.

What does the middle thing on the other choice do?

Lets us choose other options such as taking pacific islands.

[McJongJing]

Is there anything valuable on the pacific islands?
I think we should restore the former imperial dynasty and use them as a puppet state.
Was Jack McJimsey done on purpose?

Jack McJimsey has been part of our military since October 1936


Also, the Pacific Islands should be brought into the co-prosperity sphere.

Yasuhito's opinion is that Germany needs to be taken down a peg soon, though.

[McJongJing]

Pacific islands first.

Episode Theme

After what seems like years, but what was only days, Prince Yasuhito, the Regent of Japan, has made his decision on the next moves for the DAI NIPPON TEIKOKU.

These first, immediate moves can be explained in two steps:

First: The re-allocation of land captured in the defeat and annexation of the Qing Empire
Second: The invasion and absorption of Siam into the Japanese Co-Prosperity Sphere.

The capture of these four provinces is crucial for a quick Siamese capitulation.

The newly formed "National China."

With the rebuilding of China started, and plans drawn up for a hasty invasion of Siam, the gears begin moving once again. Within a few days, was is declared on Siam, a complete surprise to the nation that once asked us to ally with them. Without warning, Japanese Tanks and Mobilized Infantry roll into Siam from the northern border, as 5 divisions steam towards the Siamese peninsula, catching the Siamese unable to respond.

As a few months passed, National China was having a few growing pains. Given the choice, though, Yasuhito demanded an iron grip on the pesky Chinese. A Chinese nation that felt too separate from their Japanese masters could get the wrong ideas, and if an iron grip lead to rebellion, Japan would put it down like it had with the Koreans.

With that decision done, Siam moved on, and soon, the war was at an end...

The activities of the last months were almost entirely dictated by Emperor-Regent Yasuhito alone, but with Siam captured, he visibly calmed, and seemed much more open to the council of the Emperor's Council.

His next question to them was simple - What to do next?

The Emperor-Regent recommends claiming the "Legation Cities", several autonomous cities in profitable Chinese provinces such as Hong Kong and Shanghai and Macau that are still sovereign, to secure Japanese profit and control over important Chinese territory...

But the options to invade Unified Indonesia, Burma, or the Philippines still exist, along with a potential attack of Germany to claim their Asian territories.

Let me know!

[Kami_sama]

Those small cities are easy to get right? Let's do them first.
Uncle Dolphy will have to wait a little bit more.
