Chiang Kai-Shek goes to Germany: An Axis China Timeline
- Thread starter CCA
- Start date
Monster Gun with Biblical/Phallic references, an Japanese Maginot Line, and maybe the war explode thanks to the Sudestes.. this Timeline has broke all the level of awesomes so far(but without the Sudestes being peacefully annexed that means problem in the short term for the nazis.. and Molotov-Ribbertop doesn't exist yet.
In general the Chinesse front will be hard for the Chinesse but again remember... they here have those who lack in OTL... National Unity.. the Manchurians is artificial create state and that can be easily incorportated(More if you make the japanese retrocede) and maybe Chiang can fund some rebellion movement in Korea who exist but were very quiet for a time, the same in Indochina with Ho chi ming if France fall as historical

The Adam gun, attracted much attention from foreign militaries. Supporters of the concept in the English speaking world called it the BFG, while detractors referred to it as the OCAP.

When the Manchulot line is broken, then what? Does Japan unleash its psycho generals?

The Manchulot? DOES THAT MAKE YOU FEEL CLEVER?
WHY YES, IT DOES! DO YOU DENY IT?!?
1937 Nov - Dec: The Empire Strikes Back
Thanks for all the comments and feedback I've received so far. I'm humbled and appreciate your support1937 Nov - Dec: The Empire Strikes Back
Japan had been slowly biding her time. She knew that time was against her with Chiang having found a way to tear away slowly at the Yan Xishan line. Chinese industrialization and rearnament was gathering critical pace and very soon Chinese industrial production would surpass that of Japan. Japan had to act now if she was to retain her rightful place in Asia.
Planning was proceeding apace - there were several things that Japan needed to do to undermine and destroy China. The first thing was to cut China's access to German industrial and military assistance. This would involve blockading Chinese ports. The second was to tie up the vast Chinese reserves of men in defending China's huge coast. This meant destroying the Chinese Navy and with it, China's capacity to somewhat limit Japanese naval action - enabling Japan to conduct "hit and run" attacks on Chinese coasts. With the two factors achieved, Japan believed she could humiliate China enough to force her to the bargaining table.
Grand Admiral Yamamoto would orchestrate the attack on the naval base at Amoy or the "Guangzhou Naval Yards" as it was
The plan, which involved the destruction of the Chinese fleet while she was at port was called "Operation Z." Operation Z called for a night attack on the port of Amoy while the Chinese fleet was not in a state of readiness. The attack would cripple the Chinese surface fleet in one blow using both land-based aircraft in Taiwan and carrier-borne aircraft. The first wave would begin by dropping flares to highlight the ships, the second wave would follow up by dropping torpedoes and the last wave would be that of planes dropping bombs to destroy the Naval yard itself.
Charlize's Theron's portrayal of the Japanese Agent won acclaim despite protests by Chinese nationalists...
The plan required detailed intelligence in order to identify the targets and the defence. This was provided by Mr.F , to this day the identity of Mr. F remains a mystery - proposed explanations include Mr. F being Major Fabroccino, an Italian naval attache with a serious gambling problem. More recently, American historian Ron Howard has come up with a controversial thesis. "Mr. F," in fact stood for "Mentally Retarded Female." Dramatized in his hit TV series about the Second Great War "Arrested Development" this "agent" was in fact a crazed British widow who believed that she was talking to the British Naval authorities when passing on information to the Japanese. Every day "Mr.F" would wander down to the dockyard, pace aimlessly and then report the information back to a pair of Japanese spies, one was poorly disguised in a John Bull outfit and the other was cross-dressing poorly as "Brittania."
The city of Amoy and it's port (off-map)
Japan would get the opportunity to do this in December 1 1937. All major surface combatants of the Chinese Navy had assembled in Amoy for a Naval Exercise. Japanese pilots had plenty of practice attacking a dummy Naval port that was the exact replica of Amoy - such was the quality of intelligence provided by "MR. F" The air was still, the darkness enveloping and the night quiet on the night of December 1 1937. A night which would live in infamy in Chinese history...

This will not end well for the Chinese. Japan would now officially be Allied after this.
The mentally retarded female theory is kind of absurd though. Come on, two Japanese spies dressed in a very conspicuous manner should have been caught eons ago by the port authorities. Besides, the mentally retarded female would give nothing but random unelated stuff plucked out from the air.
(Don't worry. I got the reference. It just sounds way too silly and suspect and should be replaced with something completely different. Perhaps something decent and military. Hint hint)

In reality she would probably look like that but you know how hollywood gets...
I think of Mr.F(even if a joke/homage to Arrested Development) should be removed, again very hard to belive and all, and the Japanese will have another way to pear harbored china.
And talking about that, that gonna have a very interesting effect in the naval choice in Europe(like the british doing the oppsite to france if fall as historical) and again a more Shift of China naval focus to Submarine(with the German Knowledge that will be a big advantage) than even can hurt worse the japanese than surface ship(the american u-boat make the same damage to the carrier to the over-sterched japanese merchant navy)
In general very comic but vital update to the History... waiting how Japanese pearl harbor to china will unfolds.

P.S and WHAT THA Heck is happening in Europe... besides the SCW, the reason for the war explode a year early must have their seed in europe now

Mind you, Mr. F is probably just a conspiracy theory - a crank invention or an urban legend. It's more likely that Major Fabroccino was the source of the leaks, having complete access to the Amoy port infrastructure and detailed knowledge of where ships were located etc. Of course the hollywood-mongers can make better press from Mr.F

Will the operational be considered a tactical success but strategical mistake? How about chemical warfare? Too bad it isn´t January 1938, ah well.
Very Japanese indeed!
Noes, my eyes!
