China for the Chinese! - A KaiserReich RoC

At the start of the revolution, Chiang Kai-shek began ordering revolutionary forces and volunteer units to link up with the units that had just revolted against the AOG Military leadership. The first point on the agenda was to organize the units and to never lose momentum in this war. Every moment the AOG was not under attack was a moment for them to regroup.

The first phase of the war began with a great push in all directions, in the high hope that the AOG Military would be too disorganized to put up effective resistance.

Ultimately, RoC planners were correct in their assumption. With a dissent rate of over 60 Percent, the entire Chinese population was in open revolt against the AOG, not just the RoC Military Units.


In only the first week of fighting, massive numbers of Chinese within the AOG fled to the safe territory of RoC. And upon capture of the AoG capital, all of the Board of Directors had fled, excluding one man, Alexander von Falkenhausen. When confronted in his office by the Revolutionary Officers of the RoC, he faced them stoicly and stated his desire to join the republic in its cause. At first the Lt. in charge of the platoon that had captured the building did not know what to do in the situation. It was not until later that day a meeting between von Falkenhausen and Sun Li-gen would take place.
Little is known about what took place in Li-gen's headquarters, but ultimately, the old German General who found himself more loyal to China than the Fatherland now fought for the revolution.

The Kaiser learned of this only a day later and condemned Falkenhausen a traitor and forbid him from ever returning to Germany. Of course, the Kaiser's reaction only emboldened the old General and he immediately took command of a joint force of RoC and Shangqing Tianguo forces and proceeded to drive out a force of 24,000 demoralized AOG soldiers. Many of whom defected to the RoC during the course of the encounter.

On the south Eastern Coast, RoC units chased AOG forces far and away from the revolution's epicenter and further north towards the Neutral territory of the Legation Cities. There the AOG tried their best to regroup, but ultimately, the writing was already on the wall.

Side Notes said:

It is important to know that following the immediate success of the Wuchang Revolution, those within Shangqing Tianguo immediately began an effort to make contact with the leaders of the RoC. While both sides were opposites in their views of how China should be run, they both agreed that China was for Chinese, and as a result, an alliance against foreign powers was forged to remove the Germans and Japanese from Chinese land. This alliance was later called the "For China Front".

RoC units continued to drive north towards Legation Controlled Shanghai and Qing Controlled Nanjing. For the most part, the battles were brief and not heavily fought. Many Chinese soldiers in the AOG wished for RoC victory and only went about their orders half-heartedly.


However, the battle for the coastal province of Xiamen was probably one of the first highly contested zones, where AOG forces continued to offer resistance, enough for Lt. General Wang Yizhe to gain the traits of a man who knows how to fight in uneven and hilly terrain.


In the north west, towards the Yunnan Territories, Revolutionary units completed their rounds in securing the frontiers, and were subsequently ordered to take control of a rather interesting situation in Changsha.


What would later be known as the Changsha Encirclement, would be the first real embarrassment dealt upon the Kaiser and his colonial empire. The whole event was multi-phased and carefully crafted as Free Chinese units took up positions far east of the city and halted an attempt of the AOG to split ROC forces in half. Above the course of events can be seen in full detail.



In under a month (from April 1937 to May 1937), the RoC Military had succeeded in pushing the AOG between two corners, the East China sea to the East, and the Qing Empire(German Empire) to the north. AOG forces had nowhere to go and all of their airfields had been captured.


If the speed in which the AOG was defeated would not force the Germans to have pause, at least the Chinese people could take pride in the speed in which they overthrew their latest foreign masters.


The last battle for control of southern china took place in Hangzhou, the outcome was never in doubt.


The end of the battle meant the end of the AOG, all of their forces either deserted or surrendered. And with the escape of the German Board of Directors back to the fatherland, China was finally ruled by Chinese. Or at least part of it...

...The rest would come later.

Ah yes, but they are guarenteed by nearly every nation in the western world. I'm not about mess with them. Lest I become the cause for WWII.

In Japan the Niigata Riots ended peacefully when the Emperor sent in a goverment delegation to negotiate with the rioting labor union. Eventually a compromise was found and Stability was restored within the Japanese Diet. As a result of the successful negotiations, Japan turned to a state of relative peace, and took a much more neutral stance towards the Third Chinese Revolution.


In Western China, the Mongolian/Tibetan Alliance against The Three Ma's lead to Mongolian Victory. However, much to the surprise of the rest of the world, von Sternberg chose a more moderate path towards his conquests. Whatever this means for the rest of Asia is not clear, but what is known is that von Sternberg won't be satisfied with only the Gobi Desert.


And in India, the Bengali Faction began the creation of a secret police force, proving to the Republic that Syndicalism is no better than any other authoritarian regime.



In Spain, riots broke out between rival political parties, the violence reached a point where the Kingdom was unable to maintain order and Martial Law was declared, along with the cancelation of the elections.


As a result of the Martial Law and the election cancelation, a coalition of Anarchists and Syndicalists rose up and declared war against the Monarchy. The C.N.T/F.A.I Control most of the meditereanian coast and has already received support from most of the Third International.


The Second American Civil War began not long before the start of the Third Chinese Revolution. In the early phases, the Combined Syndicates of America, Centered around Chicago, managed to control most of the northern Rust Belt of the United States, to the South, and Fundimentalist Coalition known as the American Union State also rose up in opposition against the fairly elected and legitimate American Government.


For fear of the Syndicalists taking over the USA's industrial Northeast, Royalist Canada invaded New England and set up a neutral government there.


As the war dragged on, the United States regrouped and began pushing the other two factions further west. Reaching the point where the Fascist faction nearly forged an alliance with their ideological opposites, if only to defeat the US.

In Regard to the 2nd American Civil War said:

For many in the upstart Republic of China, it was hoped that the US would manage to regain control the thier country from the rebel factions. For the world to lose it's model democracy would be a blow for China's own democratic movement. And while the Americans were not yet willing to recognize the new Chinese state, there were indeed high hopes.
