One of the things that make me happy is to see that teasers like this one got so many upvotes
I am bad at math. Are you saying that there are four times more men or four times less men?Just something I've been working on off and on.Ever felt like there simply weren't enough men on the battlefield?
I think divisions require 1/4 the manpower and equipment.I am bad at math. Are you saying that there are four times more men or four times less men?
Yeah...that's why EN is the patch that I'm not going to play around with too much except to see the Speer and Bormann path expansions.Well, after a few months of German leaders playing political hardball leading to a new German leader being selected, they'll be turning their eye to the former Reichskommissariats, so any Ukranian state will have a very short lifespan.

Meh, no conservative democratic route, sad.

The danger is not that a dictatorship of the right or of the left will be established; the danger is that a dictatorship will be established, [period,] whatever it is! What do we care about the sign or orientations of a dictatorship? What matters to us is that only a government emanating directly from the popular will is valid. Hopefully it's ours - but if it isn't, fair enough, it's what the people want, our own wishes notwithstanding. The people are the element at the base of everything. That's why I say to our boys [the National Party cadres] that from now on they have a very clear slogan: to defend freedom together with anyone willing to join forces with our people to defend the country's sacred values. [We have] nothing, nothing, nothing, [to do] with totalitarians!

Nice, more South American content.
Gotta pill the anglos on Uruguay content
And on that note, I pointed out in the Nightmare Fuel portion of TNO that one of the most terrifying parts about Nagano’s actions in Guangdong (crossing over into Fridge Horror) is how, with the executions and imprisonment of Japanese business leaders and civilian officials Nagano deems to have screwed up, not even wealthy ethnic Japanese are safe from the IJA’s wrath with said thing being more terrifying if either Muto or hardliners under Kaya are running things in Tokyo.Okay... I think I have done enough to put myself at risk by bringing so much OTL politics into this. But again, there really was no way of having this discussion and sharing my personal thoughts and interpretation of TNO without doing so. Hope everyone find what I have written to be of interests.
Anything that could be said about how the IJA saw the Japanese people is present in the battle of Okinawa.And on that note, I pointed out in the Nightmare Fuel portion of TNO that one of the most terrifying parts about Nagano’s actions in Guangdong (crossing over into Fridge Horror) is how, with the executions and imprisonment of Japanese business leaders and civilian officials Nagano deems to have screwed up, not even wealthy ethnic Japanese are safe from the IJA’s wrath with said thing being more terrifying if either Muto or hardliners under Kaya are running things in Tokyo.
I hope the central Asian states get more love and lore.

And Nagano’s view of Guangdong’s business leaders could be seen as an echo of how the radical young officers in Imperial Japan who committed stuff like the League of Blood Incident and the 2/26 Coup Attempt had a very negative view of the industrialists and zaibatsu and could give some people back home ideas on how to break the zaibatsu.Anything that could be said about how the IJA saw the Japanese people is present in the battle of Okinawa.
Well, I gonna make a post soon about how OTL is Brazil failstate.
(2) ... Alternatively, TNO's portrayal of Guangdong's fail state can be seen as a criticism and deconstruction of the Pro-Democracy protest movement. Don't take me wrong: I am an HKer in my heart, and highly sympathetic towards the protestors, and is no fan of the CCP or their subsequent actions in cracking down on the civil freedoms of my hometown, the fact that I moved to the UK should be proof of that. But compared to a lot of my fellow HKers, I tend to look at the entire protest movement with a lot more cynical skepticism. The entire situation was just a symptom of a bigger problem, that being Hong Kong, much like with TNO's Guangdong, suffering from a lack of identity, the people being neither Chinese nor Western, and not being accepted by either fully. Hence when the chance came for people to 'play hero', and pretend as if they were all the protagonists of a Western YA novel, living out their Katniss Everdeen role-play fantasy just to feel SOME sort of community spirit and kinship with the other protestors. When the protests were unfolding, I remember some truly crazy rumors getting spread around unchecked. Stuff like how the PLA garrison will be deployed ANY MINUTE NOW; Or how trains full of arrested protesters were dragged screaming into trains to be sent up to the Mainland were they can be imprisoned; Or that one of the prisons in the city has been turned into a literal rape camp with the police systemically forcing themselves on female protestors; Or how during the. siege of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University campus, the protesting students were genuinely convinced that they are all going to be killed with a bullet in the back of their heads the moment police storms in (Trust me, I went to the campus a few weeks after the siege. There were students scratching their final will and testament onto walls of pedestrian tunnels)... etc, etc. Hence, the point I was getting to was that Guangdong's fail state in TNO and the IJA's Burgundian system-tier brutal crackdown can be seen as a cold reminder on how things would have ACTUALLY looked like if the Chinese government really was every bit as evil as the protestors made them out to be, and that every last rumor that got spread around was in fact true.
