The Nippon-Indonisa War '45 - '48

Manchurian missiles is an acceptable stretch in a timeline involving the entire Japanese empire - it wouldn't mean victory, but it would make things more interesting. You couldn't hit a moving ship with a V-series I imagine, and they won't be good enough to reach L.A. or anything, but you could maybe lash out at big cities in the Pacific held by the Allies.

Or, forget the missiles and make the other part of the TL manchurian - Manchuko ends up surviving, as the highest ranking Chinese in the government take over, use Pu Yi as a figurehead as well, and employ Japanese scientists and industrialists in attempts to keep independent and from having their heads handed to them for collaboration by Chiang or Mao.

The Japanese intelligentsia would die off/be assimilated in a generation, but the history of brutality would last much longer.

Let us Say that the Japanese Army's in China retreated back to Manchurian
in 1944 and they started to build even Hetzer Tank Destroyers and up graded there arty with German designs and rotated Army pilots home after 6 mo they might of been able to held the Soviets off , Remember most of the Japanese Army was in China even at the end of the War.
 
That's no good. Japanese troop concentrations mean the Allies will wreck it as a hold out.

You need to have enough Japanese left in the ruling clique to give them a chance, but it to be overall Chinese enough - and of course Chinese led - to have a chance of the Allies giving it some support against the Soviets.

Heck, that's the only reason they might go against Chiang, is if he's not in fighting distance to defend Manchuria from the Sovs and so the desperate West is forced to just throw arms and money at the Chinese Empire (Manchurian Autocracy).

This completely ignores the Fact that in June 1944 -- Japan declared Indonesia Independent, so technically the Japanese would not be in Charge in Octobre 1944...


Japan declared Indonesia independent of the Dutch, just as Manchuria had been declared independent of China.

The Japanese also said they were creating a Co-Prosperity Sphere, go ask an Indonesian just how prosperous the Jap. occupation made them?
 
:eek:

I don't really know where to start criticizing.... or when to stop for that matter
2 MILLION American losses?
Using V2's against ships?
Japanese forces invading the Philippines? In -46?

I've seen a lot of pure batshit insane ideas on these forums, but this one.....

congratulations I award you the Rubicon award for "The Most Pure Batshit Insane Idea 2011"

I want my five minutes back from reading your post and posting this....


You know, I do love this idea..not the thread, the award!!

We vote every year for the best fics, why not an award for the most Batshi/Lava Bathing Insane thread??:D:D
 
The first rule of holes is 'stop digging.' But I guess if your hole is bottomless that doesn't apply.

This forum's got nothing by smack-talk by people that think they know more than the actually do. That's OK, I've nailed more chicks than they have.



So, what are you saying? That the Japanese aren't good enough to retool a V2 because they are in the jungle. That's racist; you're a racist. You think just because we've got yellow-skin and are eyes are close together we can't understand technology?



Good. I don't like to use real names in Alt.Hist. and I make up names; Mr. Shirt; Love it.




Yup, they did. Read it in a book. Though, I wasn't there at the time; I was in Western Russia; I rode a tank, held a general's rank while the Blitzkrieg reigned and the violence stained.
 
Calbear - Please stop kicking those who make me laugh. I implore you, couldn't we just have a Bat Shit Insane forum to go with our ASB forum. The Mods could just casually move BSI threads to this new forum where everyone can stand in awe of these gems. Sure every once in a while one of the OPs may get a tad offended, but we're all smack-talking racists here so no biggy...right?

Then as Rubicon suggested we could give out some sort of prize or b***h-smack for the most insane TL of the year. Fun for the whole family as I see it.

Just a suggestion.

Now excuse me while I go shoot my model V-2s at my model Fletcher-class destroyers. Targeting schmargeting!! My jungle built rockets will rain sudden death upon them all!!
