SIno-Japanese War, Peace Settlement
The Japanese have settled for all of the Chinese Coast they captured in the war, and about 400 km inland territory from said coast. The territory they had captured further than 400 km inland was given back to the Nationalist Chinese. Most significant is that in doing so Japan gave away the 'Horses' strategic resource, which helps greatly with supply throughput (+10%).
After the signing of the Treaty, the Chinese capital was moved to Xi'an, as this city had been obtained from the Japanese in the negotiations.
The Japanese have created a new 'Mongolian' (Our allies are the only true Mongols) puppet state called Mengkukuo, in the wedge between Manchukuo and the real Mongolia. This creates a buffer along the part of the Mongolian-Japanese border that is traversable, the rest of the border has no infrastructure to speak of.
