"What Madness Is This?" Volume I: The Union Forever
- Thread starter Napoleon53
- Start date
Well the one's in China will likely be going "I hope we're taken over by the Dutch or Russians and not the Japanese", actually I find that a depressing option for all the Chinese in China;
Either be ruled by a mad and dangerous Tsar who likely has people randomly killed for disproving him, being ruled by a bunch of far away Dutch who only care about making a profit and which might kill you for not supporting there Imperialistic efforts or being ruled by the Japanese who would murder you because your Asian or throw you a ghetto for being Asian.
I bet most would prefer the Dutch, at least you can make money with them if you play your cards right.
That brings up an interesting question, what are the Prussians going to call such a polity? I'm not sure that Empire of Germany, (without Bismarck they are going to be anal enough to actually insist on putting the empire part first) is going to fly as Finland is till around.
I'm personally leaning towards something like 'Aryan Empire'. There would be the problem of a lack of build-up but I would contend that the domestic environment of the Nordreich would be filled with racial-mystic nonsense, especially with the RU as its role-model.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Napoleon is playing with us and the super depressed general just can’t handle the situation and finallly decideds to end it, faking us out of a ‘second revolution’ senario
I am pretty sure that right now its entire foreign policy is to not piss off Victor in any way. Seriously the turkish population is probably still traumatised by the european invasion.
What glorious news to see this afternoon! Surely, this is proof that the expansion of Carolinian civilization is God's Will! Hark the Sound!
Japan under insurrection? Poison in the waters? Portugal bailing? California falling? Persia launching it's invasion? Riots in Paris? In one fell swoop, Napoleon IV has destroyed the Empire his great-grandfather and grandfather have built. I hope Perrault overthrows him and puts the former Queen of Quebec Marie in charge of Europa
Afterwards, it would be awesome for a united front against Viktor between everyone

Republics have a bad reputation ITTL, especially with the fact that the United States became the Republican Union and several slave states. I doubt they would throw aside the legacy of Napoleon I and Napoleon II, so I think Marie of Quebec and the former Prime Minister is the likely choice for Perrault and the other generals in a coup.
Don't forget all of those French Islands in the Pacific. It's probably going to be a source of tension between the Dutch and the RU as to who gets them in the peace, so the RU will want to occupy them ASAP
I doubt even Bismarck could have achieved victory in a situation where due to incompetence, the combined manpower of all of Catholic Europe vanishes into a black hole in such a manner that Tsarist Russia manages to just roll over the Carpathians.
I'm surprised that it took as long as it did for Japan to start rebelling, the RU overthrew their God and all that.
So a coup where a loser and a crestfallen drunk replace the Caesar, now that will end brilliantly. I feel rather foolish for not seeing the collapse of Europa sooner, superiority in manpower, industry, infrastructure and scientific development counts for little when your warlord is this:
Compare that to memetic fascist badass #4. Can you image Viktor Junior hesitating at all to perform a curettement of disloyal relatives?
With Germans wanting living space and the RU always willing to kill some Slavs this will happen, yes.
After the Immolation of Mexico I'm sure the RU would never tolerate any Bourbon holding territory anywhere.

Chemical bombs and artillery shells typically have a bursting charge. There’s also fuel on the ship and possibly conventional munitions.
Also totally agree with @Diagram do it again King Dominic
Dominic "Inferiors get the lethal vax, Anglos get the anthrax" Bonaparte
Dominic "Anthrax devastation of the Anglo-American nations" Bonaparte
Dominic "Let them eat fish, because karma's a bitch" Bonaparte
Unironically, though, IMO the Irish are justified. Churchill sowed the wind, let him reap the whirlwind.

I’m getting a strong feeling that when Europa is knocked out the victors will immediately turn on each other. It’s also possible the Mad Tsar will have make a good decision for once in his reign and make a separate peace with Europa once Hungary and the Balkans fall so that he can consolidate his gains and let Nordreich and Persia bleed themselves dry against Europa.
I suspect that Ethiopia is the next territory that is going to rebell against France.
Not only it is simply a puppet of France rather than a colony, meaning that it already has a functional army, but ,considering the situation on the continent, it is unlikely that Europa can actually intervene against an eventual rebellion.
