    Threadmarks: June 1924

    June 1924 There had developed a certain air of lingering frustration over the dysfunctionality that pervaded peking... but it was also a reminder of how long this all had been going on. Yuan Shikai had been dead along time now. Long enough for the world to irrevocably change. "We have an air...

    Ammunition wise yes, Xian's production of ammunition by volume probably amounts to eighteen to twenty of months of high intensity fighting due to the way Xian's doctrine is structured. Part of this is Xian is frequently involved in brief high intensity skirmishes a well as border actions so Xian...

    I had to reread jomini and clauswitz for this, though thats largely because Jomini was the dominant military writer of the period, not necceasrily strategy text in the traditional sense but I've been rereading Kostinen's history of American warfare, particularly Moiblizing for modern warfare and...

    Threadmarks: June 1924

    June 1924 Elections would be in November, the mid autumn festival sat midway between today and the elections ... and that was hard to miss for the chatter. There was stumping to contend with... or rather there would be ... he could hardly say he looked forward to it however much he enjoyed...

    Threadmarks: June 1924

    June 1924 The administration of the province laid out under the constitution borrowed heavily from Old Man Yamagata's writing. That worked pretty well for comparing Shansi and Shensi. Yan had also borrowed from Meiji Japan's efforts to find modernity. That included the organization of municipal...

    Threadmarks: Interlude Post Battle ofRobinson [Steiner Peace Proposal]

    Interlude Post Battle ofRobinson [Steiner Peace Proposal] Alexandria Cunningham had returned to court finery... though it would have been acceptable to remain in her Davion Guards Uniform. Beside her Yvonne Davion also stood in civilian dress, but they were overshadowed in presence by the...

    Basically I'm trying to be consistent and use the canonical https://www.sarna.net/wiki/Phoenix_Hawk i've been meaning to go back and fix it. Same with Sabre and Saber actually i've done that more than once in this fic and others because its a common enough ASF

    Threadmarks: May 1924

    May 1924 A series of dispatches were fired off in a number of directions. The Bolsheviks had attempted to menace Persia, but that had been through the Northwest of that country. With the Cossacks in Kirghiz creating a buffer state there was no longer a land border with Kashmir or Afghanistan...

    Threadmarks: May 1924

    May 1924 Allen had put aside a tour of the artillery where there was another squabble over something or 'nother that Dawes was likely to want weighed in on... he was probably looking for the opportunity to bring something in from Austria, but well this needed to be nipped in the bud sooner...

    Xian's army is qualitatively superior, its an all volunteer force and benefits from having the industralized base to provide equipment and supplies to the troops. So we're talking boots, rucksacks (in the classic bergen sense), field jackets, uniforms in general load bearing equipment...

    To expand on the edit in the above post, Manchuria really is the most comparable entity at this point. Yuan Shikai was able to a limitted extent play both the provincial and national level game at the same time, far more than Duan or Cao part of this is because Yuan was much more accepted as...

    Mussolini was orignally supported by the French, and then he lost the plot and went well into cuckoo land. Literacy is still relatively low at this point, compulsory education is still relativley recent and largely in urban areas (probalby somewhere around half of hte population is literate...

    May 1924 Allen examined the papers with annoyance. The papers only really tended to bring bad news... but then so did the cables too often. The labor government under MacDonald had recognized the Soviet union which was an unpopular and controversial move. There had been an election in Italy...

    Extras: Son of Sam Teaser

    Son of Sam Canopus had a relatively free press, and Luxen being home to one of the few remaining universities in Canopian space had a larger literate population than most periphery worlds. Even if that hadn't been true the population would have passed the troop movements around by word of mouth...
