    That's one that we should be seeing more of is socially English conspiracies were a popular fear of the time because of London / the British empire s hitherto dominant capital financial position Germany and France both also got hit with this to a lesser extent due to cultural stigma / inertia

    September 1923 The drill was in good order. Impressive, and perhaps unnecessary but practice, practice, practice. Allen watched James as the Chinese General gave the order to move forward via radio. Men in cupolas relayed orders via hand signs to their squadron. Staff Officers were watching with...

    September 1923 The Earthquake in Japan had caused a firestorm. Literally. It had come in at lunch time after all, put sky scraping waves into the coast with untold devasation. They hadn't had all the fires out until Monday morning... and if one were superstitious the typhoon off the coast sure...

    Yes, mostly because Manchuria which is in a similar situation would also be fiscally healthy if Zhang Tso-lin would stop trying to take over the entire north. (Right now Manchuria is also in the green money wise despite what Zhang is spending on his military) Fiscally speaking the 1915-1917...

    August 1923 Jun's efforts to prepare for the mid autumn festival were conspicuous this year... more so than usual given all the fuss and ruckus going about. Maybe that was even the point. The lower house had reiterated, rather unnecessarily given precedent, that train robbery was a felonious...

    August 1923 The panel had enjoined over lunch to contend with the continuing fall out over the train seizure in Lingchen back in early May. It was a conversation which took away from what otherwise would have dominated their discussions... which was to say the army and all the changes which had...

    Right and here, Xian's 3 Inch gun as the default tank weapon going forward, which we will start covering soon-ish is driven by it being the default [starting point] field gun size in service and everything else at this point (i.e. 105 and 122mm) being way too large to fit in an enclosed turret...

    Manchuria falls to Japan for most of the same institutional reasons it did OTL, and Xian basically writes it off 'can't do anything about it' more so than 'not China', the problem is that that Kwantung Army in Manchuria was already out of control operationally (ignoring Tokyo GHQ, because...
