Some restriction against several activities in the occupied area is cancelled, which resulted in more freedom to everyone in Cantonia.




Three more cities were liberated in October.

Chinese front, December 1, 1937. After the Chinese stronghold at Fuk'zau was fallen, a major Cantonian breakthrough was performed, and result in a huge advance to the border of Nanjing city.



Since the most powerful weapon of Cantonia was her grand army made of countless warriors, infantry should be prioritised. Also, specialisation would help much in the future, as many advanced special forces need it.



Afterall soldiers at the eastern front were reorginised, and several Japanese forces agreed to help us, the battle of Nanjing was started. Chinese garrisons were outnumbered, and abandoned their ruined capital city after 8 hours of battle.


Downtown of Nanjing, both sides of army and civilian suffered terrible lost of human lives.

(OOC : Yes, I know it's taken at Shanghai, but I can't find a better image.)



More achievements for Cantonian industry, which will help rebuilding ruined cities in this war.


December 27, 1937. The city of Nanjing, former Chinese capital and one of the major battlefield, was finally liberated. Field Marshall Gaan Kwok-dung himself came into the city and meet the crowd.

Also, after the liberation of Nanjing, Cantonian and Japanese Army generals met at the former presidential palace and had a discuss about this war. They concluded that since the advance was worser than they think ( they think China will surrender in 3 months ) , so the line drawn in the secret Taipei meeting was canceled, and new lines would be drawn after the war was ended.

Operation Gwok'gwong (6)
(1938.01.01 - 1937.01.30)


Chinese front, January 1, 1938. The liberation of Nanjing greatly shorten the frontline, thus let Cantonian soldiers concentrate better, which could broke the Chinese defense lines quickly.



Two more major cities were liberated.



The new Dive bomber, or "Fu'cung Gwang'zaa'gei" in Cantonese, were done in factories in Gwong'zau, and were immediately sent to the airbase. Lao Zi-feng was quiet satisfied about them, until he met the pilots.


With the factories in Nanjing rebuilt, Cantonia now can support three projects to run in the same time. Department of Intelligence R&D started the population census shortly after.



The economy of Cantonia was modernised too, more budget can be spent.

After months of training, finally Lao Zi-feng's pilots know how to use the bomber correctly. Lao Zi-feng, still a bit unsatisfied, started another training shortly after.


With aid form the eastern front soldiers, General Wang Tsing-fei launched an attack against Chongqing, the probably lasxt capital of China. Chinese garrisons were forced to abandon their capital again, after 4 hours of assault.

And now, the war against dictator in China is over, but several regions such as Sinkiang, Tibet and the Stalinists who didn't help their "ally" in the war. Should Cantonia liberate those lands now?

Sir Kenny : I'll add the team later.
And about the freedom problem, I think they will need time to understand what they have just have, so please be patient.

Piko : Thanks

W. Iljitsch :
Although there are no enemy ships on the sea.

SeedSnatcher : Yea, actually I forget to descript about something.
After the liberation of Nanjing, Cantonian and Japanese Army generals met at the former presidential palace and had a discuss about this war. They concluded that since the advance was worser than they think ( they think China will surrender in 3 months ) , so the line drawn in the secret Taipei meeting was canceled, and new lines would be drawn after the war was ended.

Vote...... yes, the vote will begin with the slider change voting in the same time.

Since there are many changes in this war, so new techteams are allowed, as long as they are not too powerful.

Interbellum (1)
(1938.09.01 - 1938.10.01)



With the factories in the new-liberated city of Golmud, Cantonia now can support four teams to work on projects in the same time.


After the Canto-Sino War, many Chinese people were liberated. With their new-gained freedom, some of them decided to join the army and liberate more of their blood brothers and sisters. Two new Infantry Divisions therefore were formed.



At the morning of September 26, a huge explosion was witnessed by citizens and soldiers in the city of Shang'hai. After the Anti-sabotage forces from the Military Police investigated the ground zero, they found that this probably was a sabotage which aimed on the Department of Intelligence R&D - since its workshop in downtown Shang'hai was in ruin. Luckily there were no casualties since all workers in the workshop were having breakfast in the time. With further investigations, the military believed that this sabotage was performed by one of the Chinese warlords.


Germany captured the Sudtenland of Bohemia on September 30. Like the Austria one, no major powers really did anything about it.

Cantonian government in 1938.10.01


The status of Cantonian Army, and her allies.
(According to the record from the military, more than a thousand young people registered the army, which means Cantonia can train a Infantry Division in every 9 days! )
