DisNES II "A Twist of Fate"

Yes, everyone in south east asia has contact with the British (and the russians via the british), the Far East doesn't have proper contact as of yet (more due to British-White Malay hostilitity than anything else).

Goody :) Time for me to prepare some interesting diplo... but it'll still be some 16 hours before I'll have time to post it ;)
I suppose I should check on who plays Britain... if it's a reasonable chap ;) :lol:
 
Now that stats are up, I'm curious - shouldn't my project be at 2/5, not 1/5 as I put 3 EP into the first turn, or did that shorten total turns?
 
Touche ;)

ten
 
shouldn't my economy be at richest?
 
TO: Courlander Scum
FROM: Russian Empire

Surrender now, while there is still something left for you to surrender, and we allow what remain of your military and government to live, which is far better than the alternative should they decide otherwise. The choice is yours.

Signed,
император Владимир II Иоаннович
Imperator Vladimir II Ioannovich

Does that even require an answer? I will accept no other peace than my own, if nessecary I will impose it.

And that is why most of the time you fail silver.

The Qing Empire reiterates her declaration of having no designs on the Japanese home Isles and merely desires Japan's threat to the Qing Empire on land in the form of Korea removed.

lurker's comment: Yes. Alex994 especially has asked me heaps of questions.

My questions are of good quality and great importance! I haven't sent you a PM of questions since 2 updates ago :p

Depends on your definition of "reasonable". ;)
 
You know, following the wars and all that, I don't really understand how Japan's size could be larger than me :p

To Indon,
I'm not sure what trickery this is, but I think I need some explanation. Of course, due to the current situation I'm prepared to give the benefit of the doubt. We need to speak - and should you need assistance, we're willing to help.

@BananaLee: because japans population is larger
@shortguy, in response to your PM: you can't send half an EP, so i took that half away from growing army and put it towards the project. 2 EP into the project gave 1.5 turns of growth and completed it.
 
OOC: Strangely enough, today is also the anniversary of the Japanese invasion of China during WWII :mischief: Long Live China! Blast the Japanese Imperialists! Not that I have anything against Imperialists, just Imperialism directed towards China :p

“The war’s going well. The damn Japanese bastards been pushed back to almost Korea. You notice how the Manchus aren’t trying to keep news about the war a secret anymore? That’s because we’re winning.”

“Why the sudden change? Last we talked around three years ago at the war’s beginning you were a thorough Ming loyalist pure and true. In fact, I remember hearing you ranting about the evilness of the Kangxi Emperor and his barbaric ways. I hardly think your change of heart comes after seeing the benevolence of the Emperor…”

“Actually…”

“Oh don’t tell me Huang that you’ve become a loyal and fervent supporter of the Empire, you would sell your own mother if you got a good enough bargain.”

“Actually, I did consider doing that, selling my mother in law, not my mother that is. There was a very good offer a few years back saying in need of an elderly women whom possessed a grandmotherly and protective attitude She did always say she wanted to live in a nice palace while implying that I wasn’t successful enough in life to give her daughter to live in…”

“Where is your mother in law? Is she with your family in Yumen?”

“Fortunately yes, she with my wife and children went with my second brother in law to Yumen. He, the incompetent civil official and hopeless pauper was murdered in Yumen. It’s actually if you ask me a good thing, he couldn’t even write his own name without help. Though my wife tells me her mother has been mourning him for weeks already. There are times I can’t even believe they’re mother and daughter.”

“As fascinating as your family problems are, back to the point of you being a loyal and fervent subject of the Empire..?

“Ah yes, I’ve been thinking about it-“

“As Japanese soldiers poured into Beijing.”

“And I’ve come to think that life isn’t really that bad living under the Manchus. Sure, they’re barbarians from Manchuria, sure these queues are some of the most unattractive things introduced to fashion, and they have absurd styles of clothing. But it’s just not that bad, can you imagine having this same conversation in Nanjing?”

“The secret service would have informants eavesdropping on us in minutes. Plus I get this feeling that I’m living in an exciting country in an exciting time. All the pageantry and aristocratic feeling Beijing once had is all gone. It doesn’t feel like China at all, I feel like I’m in some barbarian city. You know that just as well.”

“If I didn’t know that I would have left for the territories under the Ming Emperor a long time ago. Here it seems that things are so carefree. Sure, an Emperor rules us, but it’s not the same as back south. There, the Emperor seems to blot out the sun. Here, the Emperor is heard but not seen, known of but always at a distance. And frankly I like it this way.”

“Now that you mention it, I heard rumors from a fellow soldier who heard from a Hui officer that the Emperor is considering after the war’s end to establish a Council of some sorts to represent the people. Madness!”

“Heh, that can’t be as mad as what’s happening right now. Who would have believed four years ago of a grand alliance between Ming and the Japanese? Just look around you, this is their handiwork.”

“I guess nothing can stay the same forever…”

And so they returned to their posts, in a shattered and destroyed Beijing. Like a Phoenix, reading to be reborn more splendid once again…
