Great job man. But I still don't get the logic behind that Fading Sun event. I can see Japan wanting to beg for peace and let China keep its gains but why on earth would Japan willingly surrender Taiwan too?? They must be mighty pissed off at losing the mainland, Korea, and Indochina but theres no way in hell China can challenge their navy anytime soon so why surrender one of their prized "core territories" for nothing?

Yes, yes he is.
I always thought that because Taiwan is mostly ethnically Chinese and it has no real strategic value the Japanese were willing to part with it. Even without the war on land, protracted war with China could still be devastating to Japan economically. I totally see your point though.
Part 3: China's Modernization
Chiang met with Japanese dignitaries in Seoul, and they hammered out a peace treaty:
The Treaty of Seoul
1: The Japanese Empire will surrender all holdings on the Asian continent to The Republic of China, and will not attempt to obtain others.
2: The Republic of Korea will be established.
3: The Japanese Empire will recognize Korea and Indochina as being within the Chinese sphere of influence.
The Japanese Empire will cede the island of Taiwan to the Republic of China.
The Republic of China and the Empire of Japan will sign a non-aggression pact.

The Republic of China and the Empire of Japan will sign a non-aggression pact.
The treaty was followed through with the creation of The Republic of Korea on September 26th. The new Republic's government was tightly controlled by a number of Chinese "advisers". It was little more then a Chinese puppet state.
In early October, Chiang ordered research conducted into the possibility of a firepower focused Chinese fleet.
The process of mechanizing Chinese agriculture was also started, to feed China's ever growing population.
Both of these things were overshadowed by a massive transportation program started in early November. New roads, railroads, and canals were going to be developed in 22 different provinces.
Modern construction methods were developed to speed up construction.
Japan's humiliating defeat was to have even more effects. The army had lost much of it's influence, and two months after the peace was signed, the navy under the command of Keisuke Okada swept into power. Okada was far more democratically minded then any previous Prime Minister, and created a Japanese Parliament, and promised free elections. Politics in Japan remained conservative however, and the people were still more devoted to the Emperor then any politician. Japan officially became a constitutional monarchy on November 30th. The new governments largest problem was the embargo enforced by the United States.
In December, research into the inclusion of tank forces in the Chinese army was considered. Chiang ordered it to be continued.
As the new year dawned, Chiang's control of China was unquestioned.
On March 11th, news arrived that the Soviet Union had declared war on Germany. Chiang became very worried as to how the conflict might develop.
However, it was not to be the only big news story in China. The four month old Japanese Parliament, desperate for the resources the United States was denying them, authorized a strike on the American port of Pearl Harbor, destroying many ships. The greatest industrial power on earth was brought into the war. They declared war on Japan and Germany the next day.
Within the space of a month, Germany was at war with most of the worlds population and industry.
Chiang was not to be bothered with international developments. Development of new infantry weapons, naval fire control systems, and a new supply system began.
On May 22nd, the first effects of the infrastructure expansion were felt.
The modernization program was expanded to include new native Chinese businesses.
Many of these were off the ground by August 12th.
New computers were developed to speed Chinese modernization.
By September 7th, one year after the peace treaty with Japan, Chiang was becoming restless. His thoughts shifted toward a old grudge...
Meh, no reason to keep Mao in his little tiny kingdom around anyway. Time to kick his red ass and exile him to Moscow!
Been lurking this for a while, gratz on the defeat of Japan! Nice breakthrough at the end. About time the CCW was wrapped up. Send Mao packing.
Also, is Port Arthur still in Japanese hands? Sometimes, acceptall comes through where events fail.
Speaking of commies and border adjustments, are the Soviets doing well in their reverse-Barbarossa? Even though the Germans attempted to help Japan defeat you, maybe after the business with Mao is over, you could use this opportunity "correct" the borders in Sinkiang and Mongolia? The Soviets must have a bit of a vulnerable spot.
After all, what better way to send back their bullets then by firing them at them?

Why wouldn't he be?

Port Arthur is in rightful Chinese hands. (Although it was the Russians who built it) Germany is getting it's booty handed to it on a silver platter. Glad to know you're enjoying it!

The Battle for China
To destroy the Communists, Chiang allocated the 7th Jun, three highly modernized divisions equipped with armored cars, a small number of Zapai, and the Nanjing army under his personal command. In total, 260,000 men. Most of the solders were veterans from the war with Japan, and aside from the Zapai, they had the most modern equipment in the Chinese army. Arrayed against them were 40,000 Communist troops, fortified in the mountains. The People's Liberation Army had suffered horrendous casualties during the war with Japan, and Mao's loss of public support had prevented any attempts to replenish their ranks. The Soviet Union had long sense abandoned them, recognizing the Kuomintang as China's rightful government. Chiang led his army personally, as did Mao. It was a dramatic final showdown between the two great politicians of China.
There was also a much smaller scale battle over Pingliang, in the south.
Five days after the attack began, it was clear the Communists were faltering.
On September 20th, the attack in the south gained help from the Korean army, which had moved down to help with the war. It was increasingly clear the Communists would not last.
On the 21st, Communist resistance disintegrated in the face of Chiang's onslaught. Many began surrendering, and no more then 8,000 were still fighting. Communist communication lines were broken. Mao and the other Communist leaders began packing up to make a sprint for the Soviet border.
On October 4th, in the face of mass surrenders and huge Kuomintang gains, Wang Jiaxiang, one of Mao's closest followers, tired to cut a deal with Chiang and save his own skin. He was promptly executed.
On the 7th, the last hideout of the Communists was found, and virtually all their remaining leaders were arrested. Mao, however, was not. It was discovered that he had fled on horseback to the Soviet Union. Chiang almost ordered an invasion just to catch him, but was stopped by cooler heads. Regardless, the Communist Party of China was incapable of further resistance.
On October 13th, a battered and alone Mao struggled into the Soviet Union. That was when he truly saw the extent of his loss. He was arrested by the KGB and flown back to Nanjing, where he was given over to Chiang as "an act of good faith". After a short trial, he was executed by hanging on October 15th.

The Chinese Civil war was over. Mao's long legacy had been snuffed out. Chiang's legacy was only just beginning.

Ah, that felt so good to hear. Let's have some fine Chiense wine made out of Commie blood, shall we?
Blood, even Commie blood, is usually frowned upon around these parts. But with China united under the Kuomintang, we can see the rise of China as a world superpower again, am I correct, Messer Amerika?
Let's hope so. It seems to prevent Communism gaining power in Europe, Chiang must invade Stalin's ass.
My you seem blood thirsty.

The New China
As the last Communists were executed, more new railroads came into effect.
Research began on synthetic oil plants, to remove China's dependence on foreign oil.
The war in a pacific was heating up. On March 5th, 1943, the American dominated Philippine government was replaced by a Japanese dominated one.
New engineering processes were developed, to help fledgling Chinese companies match their western counterparts.
Chiang slowly replaced all who remained in political opposition to him. His armaments minister was replaced by one of his most trusted generals.
The Soviet advance in Europe was slow, and they faced German counter-attacks constantly. Fearing Soviet domination, a group of rebels took over Warsaw with British support.
Production standards were introduced.
Tragedy struck China on August 2nd, when Lin Sen, the longtime "president" of China and the last of Chiang's political opponents, died. Chiang declared himself president. Not a soul was left to protest.
August also brought the retirement of the Chinese airforce's last biplanes. The airforce was still dwarfed by most other nations, but at least it was fairly modern.
In September, there was a sudden surge of Soviet power in Europe. They had gotten to Hamburg within the month.
On December 17th, Italy had been overrun.
Chiang ordered new shipbuilding methods to be developed. He had already devoted a large amount of funds into new ship designs.
1944 came, and on March 14th, the Portuguese government of Macao invited Chinese authorities to take over.
This strange development prompted Chiang to glance at a map of Europe. His jaw dropped.
The Soviet Union was steamrolling over everything in it's path. It would be dark times for the western world.
