NES2 VI - Last Semblance of Order.

Zhongguojing, the Capital of All China​

​

​

The city of Shanghai had served as capital of Xin Han, the Empire of All China for the entirety of the war against the Republican insurgents, but now was the time to reestablish the nation and to reunify it. The city of Wuhan was small, though once it had been a great city, and often unacknowledged by the mapmakers of the West [no excuse for it being missing, das]. Located in the central regions of the Yangtze River, the city was in the heart of China. It showed no allegiance in old Nan and Bei rivalries and was the capital of an extremely rich province. It was there, the Hanhua Emperor decided, that he would build his new capital.

The plans for the new capital were not nearly so elaborate as those in the old Forbidden City of Beijing nor even as those hastily constructed in Shanghai. The Hanhua Emperor would not burden the economy of the nation with something so expensive. Instead, the palace was built to show the humbleness of the Emperor, to be the divinely chosen ruler of such a great people as the Chinese. All could understand the struggles the Emperor had gone through to rule the Empire, united and whole, and serve it as it follows him.

Of course, now China was one Empire. And the reunited Middle Kingdom, Zhongguo, must be acknowledged. And so the changing of the signs began. The city would no longer be Wuhan, but Zhongguojing, “Capital of the Middle Kingdom”. No other description was necessary.

Conehead, I thought you quit?

 

[conehead234]

I didn't quit, i'm still in this.

 

[Swissempire]

I can't keep up with this NES

??? What did you mean by this then?

 

[conehead234]

??? What did you mean by this then?

Too much stuff going on, I was just commenting on that.

 

[Disenfrancised]

Well, in the Orignial plan, I did have all of Acadia, and logically, If France controlled New England, Acadia's borders would have followed suit.

Counting your chickens before they hatched much ?

 

[Swissempire]

I meant the Rebellion. But as Das stated in the Update, there were loyalists, and Native Americans, so...meh

 

[das]

OOC:

Is there a catch?

Could be. You can never know in advance.

das, my project is missing.

My bad.

f France controlled New England, Acadia's borders would have followed suit.

Um, no, they wouldn't have and didn't. Acadia in fact is only a department of the greater colony of Canada, which is a part of French North America.

And what is the name of that Northern Eco Center. Is that the one with the old soldier governor?

Quebec, duh. And Thorez is basically the governor of Acadia.

 

[Swissempire]

Bur I don't want to be Canada, they smell

And USC doesn't have as much of a ring to it

Release of the Conscripts​

​

​

The Hanhua Emperor sits before an assembled crowd of tens of thousands of conscript soldiers. He stands, and the crowd hushes immediately.

People of Xin Han, of Zhongguo, of the Empire of All China, I humbly thank you for your service. Without the drafted army of China, we could not have restored our nation to the unity and might it once knew. For that reason, here, in this square of the new capital of the Middle Kingdom, I offer you restitution for your services as great as that of any other soldier. And now, if you so wish it, I release you of service to the Empire. Let it be known across the world, from France to Japan to America and especially here in the heart of the world that China’s people fought the mostly boldly and the most valiantly for their country. Never forget that the Chinese people have the power to overcome all obstacles. Once more I thank you for your service. Farewell to the bravest people in all the world!

To: Russian Union
From: The Hanhua Emperor

China asks that you withdraw from the Mongol lands that were once a part of China. You are free to carry on your wars with whomever you wish, but we ask that these lands, traditionally Chinese, be returned to China.

I think something is wrong with your count. I count only 22 ECs for France.

5 in SE Asia & India
7 in France
4 in Iberia
2 in Africa
2 in Byzantium
2 in North America

EDIT - 23. Missed Stockholm (which really shouldn't be an EC after being besieged, but whatever).

 

[Kentharu]

i count 22

 

[Disenfrancised]

EDIT - 23. Missed Stockholm (which really shouldn't be an EC after being besieged, but whatever).

and Karachi .

Edit - ECs sometime represent the central output of a surrounding productive region, and thus can survive seiges quite handily if the field and mines are untouched.

 

[Cuivienen]

Ah, right. Okay then.

 

[Insane_Panda]

It's time I returned to playing in this NES, I'm taking the Free Spanish Army.

Then prepare to die.

 

[Insane_Panda]

Wonderful update das, things went quite well.

 

[Insane_Panda]

No story bonuses, das?

 

[das]

Hmm? I think you did post a story after the deadline... but story bonuses for it will come next update. Or are you talking about something else?

 

[Cuivienen]

Edit - ECs sometime represent the central output of a surrounding productive region, and thus can survive seiges quite handily if the field and mines are untouched.

But France doesn't control the surrounding area anyway.
