To seek Glory


Part1:Let's play!

Part2:Industry!

Part3:Civil war in china!
Thanks to Kaiserreich team and writer of all kaiserreich AAR.
This will be my second AAR after WiF mod AAR:Soviet World Conquest
Sorry about that AAR over 1000 divisions of Red Army finally killed my PC and stucked!
I'm completely first and often noob to play kaiserreich mod and have no idea what the should I do.
Second,I'm non-native english writer that's why often use wrong spell and grammer.
Why I decided to play as kaiserreich japan?
Because,some people already wrote kaiserreich AAR of Germany,Britain,Russia or USA but no japan that's why.
Anyway,Let's start!and may you want to play Kaiserreich!

Battle of Qingdao​
Japan as a nation has been one of the most fortunate and successful in the aftermath of the Weltkrieg. The peace treaty signed by Germany Britain and Japan in 1921 guaranteed Japan's rule of her overseas territories most importantly control of Korea and the civil war in Russia allowed the Asian industrial nation to set up a puppet state in Transamur and gain control of the vital port of Vladivostok. However German economic hegemony and penetration of China through the Allgemeine Ostasiatische-Gesellschaft caused severe difficulties for Japan in the late twenties and the military gained increasing power in ruling the Japanese state. In 1928 Japan rushed to support Zhang Zuelin Warlord of Manchuria in an attempt to alleviate or resolve a number of economic difficulties and prevent complete German domination of the chinese mainland. Further advances were halted however due to diplomatic pressure emanating from Berlin.Nevertheless the success of the campaign helped to solidify the strong position of the military most of whom felt the way forwards was to seek further conquests elsewhere. In 1936 Japan is poised to extend her empire with Germany's dominance of the world appearing to be in decline the Japanese look greedily at both the remaining Qing Chinese territories and the German pacific possessions.

Well, Check current political situation of japan

Against threat of syndicalists and germany japanese economy must be reformed to free market style!

And World military balance of 1936

1936ships.jpg

Japan is an islands nation alike Britain(Former allies and now enemy...maybe)
And as german superior Battleship fleets and U-boat..Terrific Grey Wolves succeeded to destroy British war machine economically,Japan might face that kind of disaster without having mighty navy.

Airforce1936.jpg


Scale of Imperial Japanese Airforce is world third,and no nation has enough airplane to organize Airforce in Asia.But in the future,Airplanes in battlefield would be decisive as Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto insists.
Accoding to simulation of IJN,Thorpedo Airunits can destroy battleship fleets without Aircover easily....hardly believe.

Armynumber1936.jpg

Army,Imperial Army seems enough big.
But half of them are garrisons to defend coastal or secure stability of colony.

To modernize japan,industry is key...and Atomic weapon that can destroy city by one drop....sounds  like follish SF novel

Nice to see a Japanese Kaiserreich AAR - I think Japan has a number of very interesting options this game. Good luck! :)
 
If I recall correctly, Japan's situation in Kaisserreich is pretty dire, as it is surrounded by enemies. I do hope you can make the best of what you have and become to dominate Asia!
 
Cool, great idea
It was one of my doubts when starting my AAR, but since I never played Russia in Kaiserreich before and I wanted to, so I chose it over Japan
Good luck, I wonder which route of conquest you'll take, and ifg you'll remain democratic... ;)
 
ah great, i was hoping to play as japan soon. hopefully i can learn something.
 
To Seek Glory

3 Year Plan of Prime minister Inukai

Prime minister Inukai's speech of Imperial Congress:
As you know,current situation of our glorious is hard and dire.
The worst threat,Influence of german empire is expanding.
As British defeat and corruption showed,ocean wall is no more robust.
German colony ports of Asia and pacific islands can be base of U-boat fleets and destroy our merchant convoys as british last war.
But,japanese economical power is still not enough to provide enough quantities of escort ships for safety of merchants.
This 3 year plan of industrization will guarantee strength of japanese naval power in the end.

And Inukai decleared new trade agreements with USA,the best trade partner of empire.
tradewithusa.jpg

President Hoover welcomed any trade with any nation.
Economical hard situation of USA is origins of all instability.
PM Inukai heared situation of USA is much harder than japan.
Combined Syndicates of America in north and American Unionists in south, these two troublesome are pushing the USA to the second civil war.
Once if Syndicalists or Unionists got power in america?
Relation between new america and japan would be worst.
Syndicalism movements that supported by Commune of France and Union of Britain are expanding day and day all over the world.
Ironically,Influence of British empire is still in operation.... to spread syndicalism.
World business and military common language is...english once Great Britain spread to the world.
Now,syndicalists can spread their ideology without language trouble.
Today,syndicalism is regarded as the most wittily practical ideology.
Yes...even in IJN and IJA, some officers are affected by syndicalism.


Black Monday in Berlin​
After the clash of Berlin stock market of Februry 4,Inukai thought it as chance to expand economical influence toward asia.
Now,Japanese state led economical style.which made it possible to concentrate both capital and human resources on economic activity wasn't affected by german laissez-faire capitalism!
But later,Inukai finally faces threat of syndicalism directly...

WarXibeivsmongoliaandtibet.jpg



Xibei Sanma decleared war upon mongolia and Tibet...
Ministers of Japan wonder what the heck is going on there....


communeofniigata.jpg

Uprising of workers supported by syndicalists !


reformfailedinqing.jpg

Qing can't change herself again.LOL
How the heck can Pu-Yi unite china under system of completely behind the times?
 
After Emperor Pu-Yi decleared reform is just a joke.
Chinese warload Shaning(orange) decleared war upon Qing (blue) Empire..

shangingwar.jpg

I thought Qing will overthrow tiny shanqing easily...


riotspreading.jpg


Damn!I can't allow any attempt to overthrow government....Martial low!

Kaiser007105.jpg

OK,support brave shanqing.

Kaiser007106.jpg

Tragedy!
Which way should I choose?
Democratic reform might be better..
Wait?Why bigger Qing empire can't still annex shanqing?
Mao:Because,we communist china has better tech and soldiers than corrupt qing empire...
Lin Biao:Excuse me,chairman mao.There is no communism or ChiCom in this mod.And Chicom is national populist.
 
Because the Chinese are good enough in causing problems themselves, I guess. :D
 
Go Japan!
 
A messed China is a good thing for the Japanese I guess... It's easier to defeat a China that's in a civil war, than a unified one.
 
Well the Chinese causing trouble for themselves is kind of a given, but Japan is meant to take advantage of such a situation. (thats what I meant).
