Fall of Entente

Usually when the war was declared to be over, peace reigns in the land. People creep out of their hiding places and start rebuilding again. But that's not the case in Delhi. The powerful central government who keeps the two sides of the country apart have been weakened by the war and the Chinese take-over, and the tension and anger between the Hindus and Muslims piled throughout the years of strong Delhian authority have broke the dam's wall and the inevitable flood poured out into the streets. Muslim Delhians, from their point of view, said that they have been oppressed by Delhi so long. Many have banded into factions and rose up against the new Delhian regime. A significant committee established in Lahore have proclaimed that they demand nothing less than an independent nation for Muslim Delhians, this dangerous movement was headed by Muhammad Ali Jinnah.

The leader of the Pakistani Nationalist movement​

During the hot days of April and June, inter-religious riots and gang-battles have been fought, often with the Chinese sitting in the sidelines – dumbstruck. Both sides commits aggressions, killing of the minorities in their respective areas, houses pillaged, and women abducted. The Chinese's total ignorance of the country's social landscape rendered them unable to take any effective counter-measure. The top-brass initial response was to pacify the damn nation, but it seem to inflame the hatred of the two sides and redirect it to the ROCA. They later shifted and place their troops to a defensive posture. They only fight when attacked. After that, the Hindus and Muslims, again, turned against each other. The forced apathy continues until the Muslims' nationalist movement starts to gain momentum, and have established base areas in the northern parts of the country. Delhi is a tributary of the Republic, and by policy, separatists within these states are not welcome. The Chinese went into the offensive.

ROCA artillery​

The Muslims have forged militias, armed themselves with Chinese and Delhian weaponry, and were complemented by veteran officers and troops from the Delhian Army. However, the Muslims' hastily-created and scattered armies are no matched to the battle-hardened soldiers of the Middle Republic.

Militias surrendering​

Muhammad Ali Jinnah saw the impending defeat as the Republic crushed his militias one by one. He then asked for a negotiation. The ROC military saw this as a silly desperate plight for his life, however they still sent envoys, curious if they could gain something out of it.

---------------------------

De Gaulle's France have received endless aerial bombardment from the continent, most coming from the air bases in Spain, destroying the coastal cities of the French State in North Africa. However, the Germans and their allies have failed to gain any foothold on Africa. The Kaiser wants them defeated immediately, but was anxious on showing his new super weapon to the world. After the advice of many in his inner circle, the Kaiser personally green lights the dropping of the Atomic Bomb in Dakar, the largest city in the south untouched by German long-range bombers. The bomb was a V4 model ballistic missile armed with a miniaturised fission bomb warhead. It was way advanced on what the Chinese, Canadians, and the Americans currently have. Scattered information gathered by BIS tells that the Germans are on their way on developing a V5 version capable on striking anywhere in the globe from any base. And there is what was called a hydrogen bomb, an improved version. This sent chills to the Chinese as they are just on the testing phase.

dakarruins_zps7a6529a0.png

The French in North Africa surrendered after De Gaulle was killed during one of the air raids, so they claimed. The Kaiser, Wilhelm III, is more lenient and reasonable than his father. He let Paris take its lands (for as long as Morocco was return back to Germany, and forced Paris to allow Frenchmen in Africa to come back with amnesty. It made hardliners question the decision of the Kaiser, but the move was a good one. Germany doesn't want its expenses to drive up by annexing the entire country, now filled with native revolts. He also doesn't want to give it to Goring of Mittelafrika, making him more powerful.

---------------------------

In North America, the Canadian economy has been severely hit by the wars against Mitteleuropa and the Shanghai Network. These two locations have been the primary spots of investment by Canadian corporations. Therefore, these wars have, in effect, besieged their economy. Several misfortunes like the the loss of India along most of its elite Royal Marines, the surrender of Nationalist France, and the German landings in Newfoundland, have convinced the Canadians that the war has been lost. However, the British hardliners disagree. If they quit now, they can never return back to their homeland. The Canadians have decided that the British will concede to their wishes by gunpoint.

To cover their backs, the Canadian generals have treated with the Germans prior to the operation. The Germans who are strained by the logistics of invading Canada, was more than happy to make peace with the Canadians.

royalmarines_zps779f38b6.png

The Royal Marines​

Whatever remaining Royal Marines left since the disaster in Delhi have surrounded the city of Ottawa and rolled into its streets with armour support, to the great surprise of its inhabitants, they then proceed to capture their targets. The Canadian Special Air Regiment, who have seen action in India against the Chinese behind their lines, assaulted key offices and residence occupied by the British including the Lords and the King himself. The commando regiment were ordered not to harm the targets, but can defend themselves when attacked, this resulted to a Lord and a senior military officer as the high-profile casualties of the coup d'etat. Several British bodyguards and military-policemen were killed. Only four Royal Marines were killed in action.

The instigators of the coup took over the government for two days. They revert back the House of Lords into the Senate of Canada. They have also dissolved the parliament and called for an election. The British exiles fell from power. Change is coming to Canada.

------------------------

The Chinese envoys have shook hands with the Muslim diplomats, thus ending the meeting and a ceasefire shall be called by that midnight, 0000 sharp. All hostilities between Muslims, Hindus, and Chinese shall cease. The Chinese will be the supreme arbiter and provider of order and public safety. The agreed points between the two sides shall be written into a treaty for the two governments to officially sign.

The gist of the treaty are:
  • The Muslims shall have their own state called Pakistan.
  • Pakistan will be modelled as a parliamentary federation.
  • Pakistan shall be a tributary state, recognising the President Sun as the “higher lord” of the country.
  • The Republic of China shall oversee the exchange of population between Delhi and Pakistan.
  • The Republic of China guarantees the rights of those who wants to relocate, and the safety of Hindus and Muslims during the exchange.


indpakpart2_zps2bc997cb.png

During the next few months, the trains of Delhi and Pakistan will be filled with migrants

partition1_zpsd374c6a2.png

The creation of Pakistan have further weakened the Indian state. Just another cynical measure to dismember the pan-Indian sentiment. This movement would give a nightmare scenario for the Chinese. Seeing a unified India that is strong enough to take them on in this region. The Hindu Delhians weren't pleased to see their country divided, complained to the military leaders and the Chinese ambassador in Delhi, they even sent envoys to Nanjing, but their every complaints were struck down. Vae victis.

Eastern Syndicalism

The military coup against the British-exiles have officially ended after the conclusion of the snap elections. The Liberal Party won without any surprise. Six decades later, the entire chapter remains a controversial subject in Canadian history.

canada01_zpsdbd4d6d0.png

China has leapt out of its infant stage in the nuclear race, and have deployed a nuclear reactor that produces an enormous amount of energy. Huge expectations were made for this technology to be harness on both civilian and military use, primarily on the later. After this major obstacle, China's advance in nuclear technology became rapid.

secretweapon01_zps5d60f199.png

The clever engineers from Shanghai Arsenal have created a set of vehicle modifications to be used on jungle environments.

vehiclemod-jungle_zps2a49c54e.png

A new wave of anti-Syndicalism sentiment have risen in China and in the Shanghai Network initiated by Nanjing with border skirmished both in India, and the Chinese-Vietnamese border as icing on the cake. By Nanjing's wishes, the tributary states have made crackdowns on Syndicalist movements and belligerent trade unions. The growing working class (ironically, due to the massive industrialisation efforts of the Republic) have flared up to protest against what they saw as an “oppressive bourgeois” government. New pile of evidences were presented by the BIS, showing that the Syndicalists have dipped their hands in the Muslim rebellion in the north, hoping to entice its elites to Syndicalism. These reports were printed and exaggerated by the Chinese media back in the homefront, fuelling the people into another round of Jingoist frenzy. The banned Syndicalist Party in the Republic is further alienated, and the Democratic Party is losing ground in the parliament. The support for war against the Syndicalist nations of Bharitya Commune and Vietnam have shot up. The warhawks in Nanjing couldn't get any more happier.

warbha_zpsd5c6bc2d.png

Election time again in the Middle Republic. A historic moment happened. After winning three elections, the Democratic Party is no longer the biggest party in the Chinese Parliament. The anti-Syndicalist feelings have thrown the votes to the Right. The Liberal Party have overtake the former as the largest party, however, the Democrats are still in power since a Conservative-Liberal coalition is not sufficient for a majority. The L-D coalition is still in place, but with the Liberals as the seniors. Madame Sun, again, won the election on the Presidential Office. However, she has announced that it will be her last term.

hushi_zps3540fd2c.png

The first Liberal Prime Minister​

The secret weapons base in western China have successfully developed the ballistic missile and the fission bomb. China's first nuclear test have baptised the nation as the second nuclear power. However, the nuclear bomb has to be loaded on a modified long-range bomber, in sharp contrasts to the German mini nuclear bomb which can fit into a missile. And the ROCAF were absolutely delighted when the shiny new model of a turbojet fighter was unveiled. This new fighter aircraft looks future-age on its design, performance, and its workings. It uses jet engines instead of the common piston engine.

The Second Indian War saw the first use of jet-propelled aircraft by the Chinese.​

The war against the Bharitya Commune started with a Massed Assault at Nasik province which ended in a heavy defeat. After a quick rest, ROCA assisted the Russo-Siberian forces in Burhanpur. The victory gave the alliance a breakthrough in the Syndicalist defences.

battle13_zps7cadbf65.png

The breakthrough was exploited using Chinese armour to outflank the forces in the Bombay region. Chinese attempts to encircle the Syndicalists have failed, but the opposition were pushed out after a call for general retreat. The Republic now poise to capture Hyderabad, the capital of the defunct Princely Federation, and to cut the southern forces into two.

Hyderabad Offensive

chinesemech_zpsa713db36.png

The Second Indian War is also where the Middle Republic first used mechanised infantry in the battlefield.​

It's been a month and a half since the war has started. The capital of the Commune was captured by the Republic and her allies, and they continue onwards to east Bengal. The drive to cut the south into two was completed as the tanks and mechanised infantry reached the shores connecting with the waters from the eastern part of the Indian Ocean.

frontline16_zpsf16fe051.png

The bombing armada of the ROCAF immediately flown over the battlelines and into the enemy heartland and delivered their full damage to the Commune's industries. By nearly three months of bombardment by the tireless air machines of the ROCAF, the heartlands was turned into rubble. However, they never managed to destroy them all completely due to the scattered locations of the targets. Nonetheless, this war have given them more knowledge about strategic bombardment.

bengalic_zps148de32b.png

By the end of November, two months in the conflict, the Syndicalist forces in the centre made their last stand in Bhubanesar. The Republic's new mechanical army made short work of the resistance.

battle16_zpsa974793b.png

December 12, Bharitese forces in East Bengal were also on their last stand, it would take a week before significant resistance are wiped out. By then, the Bharitese homeland are fully occupied.

frontline18_zpsbedff848.png

In the south, Hyderabad is captured, and the might of the Republic's armour charge south-west and encircle the last main army of the Bharitese.

frontline17_zps9245db20.png

The days of December went on until the 27th when the Bharitese army in Hubli beaten and scattered.

battle20_zps2d14e25c.png

Victory is at hand. Enemy soldiers are surrendering by the droves with the promise of amnesty and humane treatment guaranteed by the Republic. The Bharitya Commune is gone.

annexbha_zps194c01ab.png

The Delhians were expecting that the lands would be granted to them in their dream of a united India. China will have to disappoint them once again.

------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
An excellent update! I will look forward to what you have planned for the former Commune. By the way, it would be Bhartiyan, not Bharitese.
 
Hopefully this disappointment won't give the Sino-Indian relations a cooling resulting in a breach of any sorts.

Let's hope not.

I would say screw the relations, honestly. They won't be a threat to you divided into small states.
Yeah! Divide and conquer


-------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------

The Lands Between India and China

The new post-war territory was quite unimaginative, to anyone who is expecting something radical. The state apparatus that handles the Syndicalist government was revived. The Syndicalist labels and symbolisms were removed, and the new refurbished state was called the Republic of Bengal. Bengal was the name of the state before it was rename “Bharitya”. The Left parties are nowhere to be seen now, with the exception of the Social Democrats. New parties have emerged. All parties are claiming to continue Bharitya Commune's legacy, to gain legitimacy from their population, but have also claimed that they will not return to the Communard System, so not to anger Nanjing. The left promises to continue implementing Socialist elements but on a progressive approach, and the right swore to pursue localism, as prescribed by Gandhi himself, one of the founding fathers of old Bharitya.

Another dead state that was revived was the Princely Federation. The princes-in-exile all paid gifts to Nanjing so that they can return. And those who didn't survived when the Syndicalists took-over, their titles were sold to petty nobles. All of the nobility in the sub-continent rushes to be the first to kiss the Republic's feet. The Chinese made sure that the federation decentralised its power further to the princes until the Grand Prince's only roles are: the role of “primus inter pares”, and mediator between the princes, and the chief diplomat that treats with other nations. The Chinese have placed more restrictions such as, two close relatives cannot rule their princedoms at the same time to prevent any Habsburg-style expansionism. A prince is also ineligible to be voted if his predecessor was the late-Grand Prince to prevent any consolidation of power akin to what happen to Moscow when the Mongols ruled Russia.

A major change is the placement of the border. The original border was the Godavari River and as the river turns west, the border goes north until it reaches the Delhian-Bharityan border. As some sort of payment to the loyal princes and rajahs, Nanjing diplomats awarded them with additional land by pushing the border up to the Mahanadi River, and it continues up north-west as the river turns west. A good portion of land transferred but it does not make the federation too powerful nor Bengal too weak. The thought of weakening the new Republic of Bengal was discarded. The Chinese needed a local counter-balance against Delhi, and the loose federation in the south is not quite enough, and Pakistan cannot do this alone.

mapindia01_zpse24480b2.png

A slightly larger Princely Federation​

Within the Shanghai Network, the states of Pakistan, Bengal, and the Princely Federation have unofficially formed a clique against their sour neighbour. This clique is irregular though, for its only purpose is to deter Delhi on any kind of aggression. It is not a solid alliance.

-----------------------------

One of the starting battles of the war against the Syndicalists is the Marines' landing in Saigon. Keep in mind that the war in Vietnam progressed in parallel with the war against the Bharitya Commune, though it was the later who fell first. The Syndicalist Vietnamese defending the southern city were caught with their pants down. They are outgunned and outnumbered by the best soldiers of China.

battle11_zpsa16aa246.png

The Marines have cut the country into two to isolate the southern half but the plan was quickly abandoned when the Marines couldn't get their required reinforcements. They have returned back in their initial goal of capturing and holding Saigon. In the northern borders, the ROCA massed assaulted their way to Hai Phong. The Vietnamese have tank brigades and the Chinese doesn't have tank support of their own. Despite the drawback, the brave soldiers of the Republic have inflicted heavy casualties to the enemy, who is on the verge of defeat.

battle14_zpsf9152676.png


roca02_zpsb9df7c0a.png

Even without tank support, the Massed Assault never failed our troops even against enemy armour​

The capture of Hanoi have trapped 8 Vietnamese divisions in Hoa Binh. The defending Vietnamese have proved themselves to be fanatical to their cause, as Hoa Binh have held the might of the Russians and the Chinese for over a month.

battle18_zps359bcc9b.png

With the fortress on the northern borderlands gone, the main army strike south-west towards Vientiane. Meanwhile, on the south, the 2nd Marine Corps continues to Saigon.

battle19_zps3ebf9709.png

After another month of desperate fighting, Saigon was captured and the last major base in Vientiane is destroyed at 11 of January 1951. Syndicalism in East Asia is gone. But the Vietnamese will wasn't broken yet. The conventional army of Ho Chi Minh have simply went underground, turning themselves into insurgents. A solution must be found.

frontline21_zpsf54270ab.png

The soldiers and their vehicles were modified for better fighting efficiency in the jungle environment, in preparation for the coming invasion of Burma and Siam. Syndicalists from India and Vietnam have escape to these two countries. When Nanjing request for military access to hunt them down, both refused, thinking that China is finding an excuse to takeover their country. Ironically, the denial of entry was the thing Nanjing wants. When the armours and heavy vehicles have reached Vietnam from India, the quest for complete conquest of Indochina proceeds at 12 of March 1951.

warindochina_zps8f0548cc.png

Operation Serpent is the codename for the military operation for the invasion of Siam. Serpent is divided into three groups. The main army will strike through the Cambodian region towards Bangkok from the east. A smaller army from the north will march towards Bangkok from the north. Lastly, there will be an amphibious invasion by the 2nd Marine Corps in the south to capture and hold Malaya.

opserpent_zps0b4d522a.png

Operation Serpent​

11 days in the operation, and Bangkok is under attack from two sides as planned. Outnumbered and outgunned, the Siamese defenders of Bangkok (or Krung Thep, in their tongue) are no match against the modern mechanical army of the Middle Republic.

battle22_zps46998421.png

China's mechanised infantry​

The battle for the capital lasted for 6 days, ending in a Chinese victory. Siam is placed under military control.

annexsiam_zps499c8164.png

The armour column in Siam then swung north towards Burma, hoping that they could punch a hole in the line through Taunggyi.

battle23_zps125cd462.png

The capital city, Rangoon, was captured by the Marines, and proceeds to Pegu. Lashio was attacked from many directions. The main armour column went towards Mandalay. The Chinese are planning to take the eastern bank of the Irrawaddy River to crush the Burmese resistance.

frontline24_zps28cbeb35.png

By the 26th of April 1951, Burma is defeated and also placed under military control. Indochina is now under the Republic's grasp.

frontline25_zps27d78d0a.png

The result is the Federation of Indochina. It stretches from the Republic of Bengal on the west, to the South China Sea on the east, and from China on the north, to the German Malaya on the south. This massive new federation was created for three reasons; one, to overpower the Syndicalist Vietnamese (if elections were allowed in a new Vietnam, it is predicted that 97% of voters will vote for the Socialist parties); two, simple economic exploitation. The valuable Indochina region including Malaya is rich in natural wealth such as rubber; lastly, to completely seal the Chinese borders with tributary states.

The Liberal Party, composed of “Hokkien” Chinese and native allies, have won the snap election. The country became a wealthy asset to the Republic, but proved to be a problematic one for decades to come.

Grand Strategy Review 1951

The last GSR was conducted 7 years ago. There are plenty of changes during those 7 years that it is recommended to have another look at the Shanghai Network's interests, what are the obstacles, and the conclusions that were reached after analysing those obstacles. The theme of this GSR is very consistent: Germany. Every action in any nations will have Germany in mind, and every bilateral relations with such nation with Germany will be put into light.

mapshanghai_zpscb861c51.png

Dark Green: China including national lands under foreign occupation.
Moderate Green: Tributary States​


Persia

Persia is the only western neighbour of the Network, aside from Russia. The latter is an ally of China. Persia also holds territories that is considered as national lands by China's tributaries; Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan. Both countries are suggesting to resolve this issue, and pushed that Persian oil would be invaluable to the Network. Persia also have a German oil company that extracts said resources, thus make the country a good target for the Network.

Persia is totally aware of their situation and their neighbours' opinions, have constantly sent envoys, and even have the Shah visit Nanjing for a state visit to improve relations between the two countries.

per01_zps27440dcd.png

Conclusion: Nanjing enjoys good relations with Tehran. Nanjing is also keen on securing its western borders, to assure Tehran of their safety against the rotting Ottoman Empire, and to prevent Persian on drifting further towards Germany. Thus, it is decided that Persia will be a low priority.


South East

Philippines have remained neutral but pro-Germany. The country is receiving more and more investment from Europe as China is closing down huge swath of market, such as Indochina and India, for them to invest on the cheap labour and its natural resource. But being in the front line once the war starts made many investors reluctant, preventing Philippines from maximising its potential. They have also grabbed the region of Sabah during the Sarawakian Revolution.

phi01_zpse8946daf.png

Indonesia is receiving more power from their Dutch overlords, however, the country remains under Dutch thumb despite the growing insurgency. It seems that China is a more important than the danger of an Indonesian rebellion. Indonesia is a hard ship to steer with its stability gradually drops.

mapindonesia_zps39aabb86.png


sarawak01_zpse7729a3d.png

Sarawak's claims​

Conclusion: Both countries are vital to Shanghai Network's interests. First, Japan and Korea are very eager on getting hold of the Indonesia's western islands rich with rare materials and Philippines' metal rich island of Mindanao to fuel their growing industry. Second, China's quest for the Pacific made Philippines a very important launching pad onto the vast ocean, and Indonesia is a major obstacle on expanding their reach towards Australasia. Finally, Sarawak's claims that the entire Borneo is their national land, currently held by Philippines and Indonesia.


Chennai

Chennai have survived the wars in the Indian subcontinent, mostly due to their irrelevance. Now, the tiny republic has the Chinese tributary state, the Princely Federation, sharing its land border, and the German colony of Ceylon sharing its maritime border. Chennai aims for a balance relations with both Germany and China.

chennai_zpsd5218446.png

Conclusion: A low priority target, if it is considered a target. Nanjing doesn't want a distraction while they are busy confronting Germany. It would even give Germany a foothold on the subcontinent if Chennai is attacked and joins the enemy alliance.


Australasia

Australasia was once a British dominion and a former member of the Entente, but after a German sponsored coup, the European outpost beyond the edge of Asia became a member of the German sphere, and remained uninvolved on Germany's European wars and China's East Asian expansion.

mapaustralia_zpsbbb49f85.png

Conclusion: The outpost will be siding with the Germans once the war breaks out. The military has been assigned with drawing up plans for its invasion once the Dutch colony is liberated by the Middle Republic.

--------------------

The American Union

usa01_zps9df1ac8a.png

The American Union is the most powerful nation on Earth, if we based the standards on pure statistics.

It has the largest industry. Its army, numbering at 4 million, is larger than China, Germany, and Canada combined. It also has the largest airforce. Chinese experts believe this is the workings of their corrupt military-industrial complex and their unwavering militaristic lifestyle and ideology. Such fervour that it made the Chinese uncomfortable (whom were mostly at war since the Changsha Revolution!). However, the juggernaut has an Achilles' heel, it has an antique navy. So obsolete that our smaller and ageing battlefleet can smash them easily. Without the navy, the Americans will be restricted to airpower. Their nuclear arsenal is non-existent. According to the BIS, they are still on-going on their plutonium production experiments.

usaarmy_zps56d22e64.png

A land behemoth, but doesn't have any gills, apparently.​

The behemoth became more worrisome when the Kaiser had a state visit to America. The entry of America on Germany's side would be a colossal disaster for Nanjing's quest for the Pacific. One of the generals argued that American will not be a threat with that navy, but the others counter-argued that they can simply create fleet after fleet of modern warships without difficulty with their enormous militaristic industry.

This gives Nanjing this dangerous uncertainty; Will China try to improve relations with America to prevent a war and sit back, with the risk of getting attacked when the war starts, or will China commit the first aggression? If aggression is the chosen path, China will have to cripple the giant with a single blow.


Kingdom of Hawaii

China has its sights on the Kingdom of Hawaii, a dependent country of the Union of America. The Kingdom split from the former-United-States and became independent. After the Firsters/Unionists won the civil war, the new American government was content on making the Kingdom a dependency and any motion for Hawaii's statehood were given zero attention. The Kingdom of Hawaii remains an American dependency until today. If war would occur between America and China, taking Hawaii, along with all her Pacific islands, would remove America's influence in the Pacific.

hawaii_zps7e61b452.png


German and Portuguese colonies

The Portuguese owns two colonies in the area: Macao and Portuguese Timor.

China have invited the Portuguese into the table for the transfer of Macao from the oppressive European colonist iron rule and towards the Republic's caring benevolent arms. China didn't ask for any price; it's either instant occupation or a peaceful handover. They are confident that Portugal will give up, however, the Germans meddled once again, and they guaranteed Portuguese rule on Macao. China backed down.

macao01_zpsf797edc6.png

The 50% went down to nil​

Portuguese Timor is the other colony. There is still no conclusive answer on the Portuguese outpost, but the solutions were either to give it to Indonesia or to give it self-rule.

easttimor_zps889c222f.png

Indochina claims entire colony section while China claims Singapore for its strategic value and having a Chinese population majority. The former have no choice but to concede to its master.

germansa01_zps8f1466d0.png

Aside from the German concessions in mainland China, Germany also holds other territories scattered in the Indo-Pacific region. All these are set to be taken by China until a proper solution is decided.

Eastern Europe

This will be where most of the fighting will occur. Nanjing assures their Russian partners that the ROCA will be there to stop the German horde. The Shanghai Defence Coordination (SDC) have predicted that the greatest extent of Russian and Shanghai advance would be Ukraine, Ruthenia, and the German Baltic until they see themselves in a stalemate. They also stated that this extension would be crucial to the survival of Russia. On the flipside, the fall of Russia would be disastrous for the Shanghai Network.
