DBWI It appears there are extensive riots in Peking

Well it looks like there are now extensive riots against the japanese garrison forces in Peking today. So what do you say. Do you think the rioters have a chance of freeing china which has been more or less totally under japanese control since 1949?

Perhaps this is the time that the opressed people of asia may finally rise up and push the Japanese empire back into the home islands themselves? Maybe the Japanese will refrain from brutally crushing this revolt like they have the others because of the recent increase of Japanese American trade and relations?

Or perhaps this will end up like the Singapore riots of 1977? We all know how those ended.

OOC The POD is that no pearl harbor occurs but japan does attack European possessions in Asia. The US refuses to get involved and the Japanese win in both china and the rest of asia. The brits still rule India as a protective measure against Japanese forces in Burma.

OOC: POD is ASB. There would be no reason that the USA wouldn't intervene, or any way that the Japanese could actually beat and then conquer all of China.

OOC FDR tried to intervene but the American people wouldn't stand for sending there young men to fight and die for some European colonies.

Well some of the British weapons that were smuggled in decades ago are showing up, apparently the die-hard Chinese communists that still remain in some villages have taken them out of storage. They don't seem to be sharing them though, and they are the ones who have the most equipment. While most of the rioters aren't unified by anything more than a hatred of their Japanese oppressors they've not had conflicts of their own, recent reports of conflicts within the ranks of the rioters have given the Japanese troops some opportunities to thin their numbers even more than a two-sided firefight because of the chaos. If the Chinese dissidents can't stay united against their common foe, I doubt that they will succeed, especially after their own conflicts have been actively encouraged by the Japanese intelligence agents that lurk in almost every group.

OOC: It's a DBWI, PODs should never be set in stone, it's the 'now' that matters.
