Chapter 718: Red Sun White Sky the Coprospist Society
Instead of the Blue Sky with a White Sun that served as the design for the party flag and emblem of the Kuomintang (KMT), the national flag of the Republic of China and the naval jack of the Republic of China under Chiang Kai-shek, that represented in it's twelve rays of the white Sun representing the twelve months and the twelve traditional Chinese hours (時辰; shíchen), each of which corresponds to two modern hours and symbolizes the spirit of progress, the Kuomintang under Wang Jingwei used not only a different flag later on, but also a different ideology. Under Coprospist ideology the new state of Wang Jingwei on the coast administrated from Shanghai and later Nanjing used a White Sun in a Red Sky to show the new order rising in China. Supported by the Buddhist Sect known as the White Lotus, the Yiguandao (mainly among the government and officials of Wang Jingwei but soon spreading), the Guiyidao and other Japanese supported sects, cults and secret societies, the reverse symbol of Wang Jingwei's political Coprospist movement (the Red Sun and the White Sky) became known as the Coprospist Society for a new China/ East Asia (CSNC/ CSEA or often simply CPRS) inside the Coprospist States of Yankoku, the National Han Chinese Empire, the Taikoku Empire and the Yikoku Kingdom. The very own flag and symbol of the Coprospist Society was also a slap in the face of Chiang, his Kuomintang and the Chinese United Front, as well as everything they stood for. Instead of autonomy and independence for China, it would turn Chinese States into Japanese Protectorates, Puppets and Vassals. While originating from Japan were they had many supporters too, their Chinese headquarters were in the Japanese parts of Shanghai, the gateway to China, with local Branches in Guangzhou (Canton), Tianjin (Tientsin) and Dairen (Kwantung). As well as any other major local port and trade city and some major cities further inland. Many Japanese military and zaibatsu members, as well as local diplomats and politicians joined the Coprospist Society, that would later in 1942 change it's name to Coprospist Society for a new Asia/ Pacific (CSNA/SCNP). They were closely supported by the Sakurakai (Sakura Tree Society and Cherry Blossom Society) and other Coprospist groups, parties and factions.
Local businessman, politicians and military members in Manchuria, Mengjiang, Vietnam, Siam/ Thailand and other member states of the Co-Prosperity Sphere but mainly many inside of Yankoku, National Han China and Taikoku joined the society. Mostly because heir own money, power and influence either came directly, or indirectly from Japan and therefor preserving or even increasing the New Japanese Order was also in their very own best interests. Those opposing Coprospism, the Co-Prosperity Sphere and the Coprospist Society were branded as Manchujian, Mengjian, Yanjian, Hanjian (and later Tangjiang) or Taijian, race traitors of the local ethnic groups and their nation states, the worst kind of traitor known to the Chinese, but unlike the Chinese Untied Front Kuomintang Hanjian, these specific tearms also encouraged ethnic membership into these newly formed nations and societies. However the Coprospist Society worked to both sides and also opened up the possibility for many non-Japanese politicians, economic and military leaders to be represented much more at major Co-Prosperity Sphere conferences, events and even further include themselves in military, economic and technological planning of the Co-Prosperity Sphere, giving rise to new ideas, tactics and strategies, the Japanese Empire would not have had on it's own otherwise. It also allowed for more local development of infrastructure, industries, resource gathering as well as the build up of local defense forces, including armies, navies and air forces. New tactics and strategies were also introduced to the Coprospist Society, the Copropspist Leaders and the overall Co-Prosperity Sphere. Followed by new ideas for weapons and technology of all kind. It was this Corpospist ideal that gave the Co-Prosperity Sphere a fighting chance to beat their enemies in the Great Asian and Pacific War, even if it was a small one.

Shamefull display
With millions more lost at this point they are making up quit larger numbers then OTL, fate in Stalin and their overall morale and abilities are decreasing rapidly because of this...
Yeah something similar to that (not on purpose tbh).Indeed, the situation could be better for the Allies, so maybe they will rush some future operations in hopes of turning the situation around.
Yes, slowly but steady.

It was always made up of conscripts. The question is, how many of them are being fed into the grinder without any training?
The capture of Moscow is going to be the final nail in the coffin of the Soviet Union. They can't get along without that city, its the hub of the Soviet transport system.
Also the symbolic value of the city. Moscow falling will lead to mass mutinies, desertion and defection among the Red Army, and possibly push the Soviet leaders (other than Stalin) to switch sides (bringing Army or NKVD units with them), call for capitulation, flee abroad, or topple Stalin. After Moscow, the USSR will fall like a house of cards.
Partly true each of you, but the Soviets had backup plans where to evacuate their leadership and continue fighting somehow;
- Kuybyshev (now Samara) — planned temporary capital in case of occupation of Moscow and de facto temporary administrative and diplomatic capital
- Sverdlovsk (now Yekaterinburg) — de facto temporary industrial capital
- Kazan — de facto temporary scientific capital
- Tyumen — de facto temporary spiritual capital
Sure, but at that point, the Soviets will have lost Caucasus (80% of their oil), the industries of Moscow and Leningrad, Ukraine (with its grain) and the LL won't come from Vladivostok and Murmansk anymore, leaving only Persia.
True they are nearly done then, btu will they realise that too?
The Whites might just burn it, or get rid of it otherwise, if Stalin doesn't evacuate it besides himself?
Parade it first throught the streets first like the reds did with kornilov then burn it.
Let the saints sing! Let the church bells sound! Russia is reborn!
Pacific States Flag Ideas coming up
Planning some flags for the later Pacific Federation of America - PFA/ also known as the Pacific States of America -PSA-/ United States of the Pacific/ Pacific Union and Federate Pacific States (made up by former California and Oregon according to original Japanese plan, plus Washington, maybe Alaska too later TTL) will make it a poll again so you readers get to decide wich one we will use ultimately in the End. ;D
