Having driven the Germans out of Southern China, the members of the Third Revolution began to take in what they had finally accomplished. For the first time since the revolutions began in 1912, the Republic finally had a stable foothold on the nation. With the peasants and factory workers of China cheering over the news of the German removal, the members of the New KMT had a new set of goals to flesh out.
The First matter being that the AOG did infact leave a substantial infrastructure behind, one that should be utilized to it's fullest extent.
The Second being that this Third Revolution did promise a true turn to democracy this time around, and to go back on that promise would surely turn the people against them.
The Third (and probably most important) was that while the initial phase of the revolution had finally achieved success, there were now several powers surrounding the upstart republic that would rather it did not exist. However...
They are divided politically and idealistically.
They do not trust each other any more than they do the Republic.
And their people are oppressed and looking for a better life.
On July 9th 1937, over the ruins of the second AOG Head Office the leaders of the New KMT began outlining their plans for China to the people. Members of the Press from around Southern China recorded every word, both for radio (for those who had it) and the more widespread newspapers. First they pledged that on the July of 1942, the first real election for the new government would be held. The country and the people would be allowed 5 years to establish their representational governments and to begin sending delegates to Guangzhou to help in forming a proper constitution for the new republic. Second the Government would adhere closely to the Three Principles of the People as outlined by the father of the revolution, Sun Yat-sen; Nationalism, Democracy, and The People's Livelihood. Then finally, they stated their final and true goal for the country, complete and total unification. Sun Li-gen began outlining the need for volunteers to join the new Revolutionary army, and for others to return to the factories to jump start production of a new war economy to help spread the revolution across China. Cooperation would be needed from professionals who served as factory managers under the AOG administration, so that the technical knowledge gained from the German Occupation would not be lost.
Over the next 30 days, the Provisional Government began work on spreading the revolution west, to the Territory Controlled by the Yunnan Warlords. Having been essentially a nation of thier own for a decade, the true nature of warlord rule must surely have become evident for the people in the Yunnan and Sicchan Provinces. This time, no deals or compromises would be made, Yunnan's warlords would be captured and hanged, and the people liberated from their callous grip.
So over the next 30 days the Republic began a reseach and Construction blitz. Producing everything they could for the next conflict of arms. Research began on developing a proper industrial and military base.
Work began on modernizing the Army, both in equipment and tactics. Alexander von Falkenhausen was more than willing to share his knowledge in the matter had began training several divisions in his new techniques.
Production also began in China's factories on equipping and training two new divisions with the specific purpose of fighting in the mountains of Yunnan and western Sicchan.
One of the many great things captured from the AOG was their vast treasury, which surprisingly did not escape with the board. A massive reserve of ReichsMarks had been obtained by the NKMT and was quickly put to use in diplomatic actions and other covert operations, including the transfer of supplies, material, and spies into the Yunnan territories to help foster dissent and revolution in those lands.
It would not be long for the revolution to spread like wildfire across all of China.
