China Rules the Seas

[Rodrico Stak]

(continued from Operation Fading Sun: Part 8)

On August 21, we were stabbed in the back by the Nationalists. Hundreds of Red Army personnel were killed, forcing the Communists to leave the Unified Front, in what would become known as the New Fourth Army Incident.

However, this did not hinder the Red Army's inoxerable advance down the Korean Peninsula.

The Japanese even offered a foolish offer of peace on November 11.

This was declined by Foreign Minister Wang Jiaxiang, of course, in favor of demanding his own terms. This was done on November 20, and in the treaty of Busan Japan agreed to give up all its interests in China, cede Manchuria to the Communists, and recognize the establishment of a Korean puppet state with its capital in Pyongyang.

Victory over the Japanese had finally been achieved. Operation Fading Sun had succeeded.

Way to go. With the Japanese defeated, it's time to launch a new campaign against the Nationalist's. And after that, it's time for the navy to be born.

Correct on both counts! Though there will be a short, but possibly significant war between uniting China and having a significant Navy. But watch for the first signs of the PLAN (People's Liberation Army-Navy, for those who don't remember)... coming soon!

I still say it should be the Purple Chinese Navy. More catchy to me (plus you never hear of the color purple much).

 

[Hannibal Barca2]

Purple? What does that got with communism to do?

Let's create a bloody red fleet!

2. Official Smep (which, surprisingly, does not have any event ID conflicts with CCIP)

Only through a demonic pact writ with the blood of a thousand virgins was this inhuman feat accomplished.

Tannu Tuva is and has always been an integral and inseparable part of Mongolia! (which is and has always been an integral and inseparable part of China!)

Wow... these propaganda pictures are EXTREMELY GAY. Based on this I conclude (Jung Chang-fashion) that Mao Zedong was actually a closet homosexual!

On February 11, training of the Red Airforce was completed, and the squad was assigned to its base in Beiping, awaiting further orders to base in Dalian once Andong was occupied (the name of the fighters is in Pinyin, and means "Scout Fighters Squad").

Boy Scout Fighters Squad, to be exact.

If you want Man Scout Fighters Squad, then it'd be "Zhen Cha Zhan Ji Dui"

I didn't know that, and I'm surprised that CCIP didn't catch it.

I don't usually pay much attention to CHC leaders...

o Well, that's what I get for using internet translations. It is actually very hard to get a translation, since I have to first translate from English to Chinese (simplified), and then from Chinese (simplified) to Pinyin. So for just "Scout Fighters Squad" it should be "Zhan Ji Dui"?

Tannu Tuva is and has always been an integral and inseparable part of Mongolia! (which is and has always been an integral and inseparable part of China!)

Hmm... I should fix that. But it doesn't matter much anyway, since I won't be invading the Soviet Union, due to the fact that I will lose my best naval doctrine team.

Very simple. Red represents communism. Blue represents the ocean. And what do red and blue make? PURPLE!!!

China Rules the Seas
A Chinese Naval AAR

The Intermittent Period​

On November 21, 1940, a post-war power vacuum appeared in Manchukuo, which served only as an excuse for the Red Army to increase its size, including the creation of the People's Liberation Army-Navy (PLAN). The same day, the Red Army changed its name to the People's Liberation Army (PLA), after a failed attempt by the Nationalists to seize Shanxi.

A formal alliance with the Communist puppet state of the People's Republic of Korea was concluded on the same day, and the one flotilla of the PLAN was used to transport divisions out of Korea.

Then, on December 2, the poorly equipped remnants (Infantry '18) of the Manchukuoan and Japanese Kwangtung armies, as well as the Manchukuoan Airforce (consisting of 2 Interceptor III, and one Tactical Bomber III), switched sides and joined the People's Liberation Army.

On December 4, the Nationalists attempted to establish peace talks with the Communists. The offer was accepted, though only to buy enough time for the PLA to get in position, as the majority of it was still in Korea or Manchuria.

ON December 28, Lin Pao completed his Deep Operations Doctrine, and immediately began developing a doctrine for defending pockets.

On January 8, 1941, the School of Oriental Munich developed Deep Logistics, allowing the General Armament Department to develop an Improved Infantry Division.

On March 9, Deng Xiaoping finally developed an improved computing machine, and he immediately started on advanced ways of construction.

On March 23, the General Armament Department developed an Improved Infantry Division, and began doing the same for the PLA's mountaineers.

All of these technologies were assisted by the Koreans, who's resistance had managed to steal technology from the Japanese during the occupation.

Finally, on April 10, the peace talks ended. Ultimately, the Communists declined the Nationalists' terms, and made preparations for the Chinese Civil War to resume.

............. I want's to see a real fleet.............

 

[germanpeon]

I am seriously worried about your manpower. Youre going to need a LOT for a war of this size.

My manpower may appear low, but I'm actually getting +1 per day.

 

[Rodrico Stak]

Since I can't post an update right now, I'll drop a teaser:

I have 8 CVs so far, but Com Chi has only 6 CV names. So I like to name the remainder after landlocked places - the "Lhasa" and the "Urumqi" are CVs...

 

[unmerged(61606)]

why not name them after historic chinese people? or something like that

 

[Crush3r]

Just name them Victory of Socialism and Comrade Mao....

I'm sorry, but I couldn't resist this...

Rodrico, I have been following your AAR since the start, but I have a bad habit of lurking like crazy. Great stuff so far.

 

[Rodrico Stak]

I think I will start doing that eventually, but the names for Communist Chinese ships are cities, and so I think I'll go through the capitals of all the warlords first.

Rodrico, I have been following your AAR since the start, but I have a bad habit of lurking like crazy. Great stuff so far.

Thank you!

I was out of touch for awhile, but now I'm back. All caught up and waiting for more. Looks like there will be no peace between the Nationalists and the Communist, as if there could be.

I guess since you are still stuck in land wars that the navy has not been able to get of the ground, ahem, yet.
