    In OTL USA made Japan widraw from Siberia to help soviets,as a result we get military fighting against civilians later.here it not happened. To be honest,Japan here should never become military dictature here,becouse they would stil have Siberia,and later Manchuria. Making them starting wars...

    Good idea - and could be done relatively cheap.Oeriklion arleady made 20mm AA guns - but costly. Polsuh engineers during WW2 made for brits cheaper version/it cost 20% of oryginal/ Here...

    French used 25mm AT guns in 1940 - and for germans with 30mm armour it was enough.Japan used so called medium tanks with even lesser armour,and soviets BT7 and T.26 which also had lesser armour. So,your autocannons are good enough for Japan till 1942/they get Type 97 tank with 50mm armour/ and...

    Would Manchuria fall to Japan here,too? if so,you could let them go,as long as they do not attack more.It was never part of China,after all. rifles and HMG - you could try to use at least one kind of ammo for them.

    So,they would made something like italian M.18A and later M.32 during WW2.Basically assault guns.For infrantry - good idea,and they could kill tanks when they meet them,too. And 25mm as AT - for french it worked in 1940.They lost thanks to bad strategy and lack of Will to fight,not lack of goos...

    Foreign Legion - very good idea,BUT ONLY IF YOU COPY THEIR UNITS SPIRIT.They are really elites - becouse they are trained to not only kill,but serve France. Here,they must be trained to fanatically serve your China.

    They work on pm which could work in harsh conditions and is cheap - good,they could invent something like Owen,or at least Sten,before WW2.

  8. Pax's Alternate History Snippet repository.

    Yup,you need to live with steam engines at least one generation.Probably more. And airfields - for planes of your times,you really do not need much.And you would not need till you get B.17. P.S soviets blaming jews for Lenin death...you knew,it could help world.In OTL jews in West helped...

    Thanks for chapter ! @Imperator Pax ,i have few ideas - 1.Planes - it is as you say,you need new stronger engines for metal monoplanes,otherwise biplane would be better.Just like WW1 fighters from the end of the world were better then first german metal monoplane fighter made by Junkers...

    10 divisions - for now,enough. And mechanized brigades - it would be funny to train them properly.I read,that early trucks break many times,and commanders not always remember about delivering fuel. Even in beginning of WW2 many motorized units had that kind of problems,both germans and allies...

    Your China should start making movies - including propaganda how great they are,of course,but most should be about History or normal life. Maybe invent kung-fu movies ? or made Godzilla style movies ? King-King was in 1930,i think,so why not? P.S What about animated movies? you could made...

  12. Pax's Alternate History Snippet repository.

    Thanks ! but - they need oil for planes and tanks,and you could not made steam planes or tanks. Well,you could made steam tanks,but they would be joke. So, save oil for them,and use coal for rail for next 30 years. P.S Merry Easter !

  13. Pax's Alternate History Snippet repository.

    I knew that, you knew that - BUT,did people in 1924 knew that,too?

  14. Pax's Alternate History Snippet repository.

    And,your China do not have oil fields,only coal.So - it is logical to use coal for everytching ,as long as it is possible. Which mean,that you could made steam cars and trucks - i read,that americans used them till 1930,and germans used steam trucks during WW2 when they lack oil. Sadly,not on...

  15. Pax's Alternate History Snippet repository.

    Thanks for chapter ! diesel is future of rails,indeed,but you are right,that for now they should stick to coal. Did France really decide to not pay USA in OTL ? War England/France - i read somewhere about such possibility.England,as always, would fight using another nations - in this...

    Railways made possible WW1 - and later,when planes become good enough to destroy them,they ceased to be so important for army.But - Japan air forces never become good enough to do that,so - they are safe.

    Pearl Harbour - i read,that if they just hit fuel storages and blown up ammo magazines on shore,it would destroy Pearl as base,and maybe even imprison entire Pacific fleet there. Japan planes - i read,that their major problem was lack of strong engines.I once try to create TL where they buyed...

    Albatross with new engine - it should be good enough till at least 1930,maybe even 1935.Considering what Japan had,if war happen on schedule,even good till 1940 against them - their fighters were good,but had only 2HMG. Albatross would have chances against them. Maybe thanks to that Japan would...

    According to what i read,brits started to hire people after Cambridge and Oxford to counter embazzement in colonies, becouse they thought that people from those places would be less inclined to take bribes. It not worked too well,but,as a result ,entire british civil service was staffed with...

    Thanks for chapter - embazzement was norm in Asia,i read that tsar beaurocrats could take bribes almost officially as long as tsar get his due and beaurocrats take according to their rank/ they were accused of takib above their ranks,not taking them/ But - China indeed made it kind of art.In...
