A memorial service was held today in the city center of Winnipeg for the few brave soldiers who gave their lives to destroy the English invaders. The ceremony was brief due to the need to see off sons and daughters heading for the Southern front where barbaric Greeks were said to be streaming out the Incan hills.
The bodies of the English are covering the green hills and valleys of the Winnipeg valley, poisoning the land and breeding monstrous mosquitoes that are expected to spread plague among all quarters of the city. The stench is appalling and the mayor has begged for volunteers to go out among the dead and give them a decent burial.
It is expected that captured chineese soldiers will be allowed to earn their freedom in exchange for working alongside the burial parties.

The GUARD has continued it's search for the camps. There was a rumor of a camp camouflaged as a pig farm. The rumor turned out to be false. Various villages and towns have also turned out to be empty of prisoners, or evidence of past prisoners. The search continues, however.
The possibility remains that QuebecCity and Charlottetown are hiding massive underground prisons. It can't be ruled out. Sources inside the government will neither confirm nor deny that a military strike is an option.

Sorry for the delay - was really busy last night.
EDIT: At least I still got it done under the 24hour mark

The Chinese are happy to announce the reorganization of their air forces, which are being promptly redeployed to aid in the war effort across the western and northern fronts, along with other elements of the CPA's forces. The Chinese are also happy to announce the planned construction of Forward Operating Base Wei, in a undisclosed location along the front line.
Operation Flying Tiger is scheduled to commence shortly. With it the Chinese people will usher in a new era of dominance and modernization.

GUARD helicopter patrols were fired upon, and several were shot down. It is not known yet if there were any fatalities, though authorities did confirm that no radio signal has been received from any of the patrols. Search parties have been dispatched, but were immediately fired upon by Canuk troops in the area.
A fierce battle was fought against a major contingent of Canukistani militia. All the Canuki were either killed or captured. GUARD reinforcements have been dispatched to the region.

And now, ladies and Gentlemen, addressing the nation directly from the Imperial Palace in Empire W… the Eternal Emperor himself… General_W…
We're proud to announce the development of Rock & Roll in The Empire.
And now, ladies and Gentlemen, addressing the nation directly from the Imperial Palace in Empire W… the Eternal Emperor himself… General_W…
Good evening my subjects. I'm addressing you directly tonight to inform you of some momentous news. Our glorious Empire has at last made peace with the Canuk people. I'm sure this news will be greeted with much rejoicing [or it had better be – you complainers about the war know who you are!] – but I also know that some of you will ask, "why were so many of our sons and daughters sent to die on the hills of Winnipeg, for not a single mile of territory gained?" To those that ask this question – I must refer you to our new Minister of Internal Distractions. Please give a warm Empire welcome to Mr. Elvis…
Hey there everybody… ah… don't be cruel, and stay offa my blue suede shoes! Uh-huuh, Uh-huuuh.. yeah. Yeeaaah.

News Report, The Beijing Times, September 23rd, 1820
The coordinated air assault, known to the public as Operation Flying Tiger commenced today as elements of the 2nd and 3rd Air Divisions struck at the heart of Canuckese territory in revenge for the horrible insults visited upon the Chinese People in recent years.
No casualties have been confirmed on the Chinese side, with tens of thousands of Canuckians confirmed killed by the International Society of Morbid Statistics (ISMS) during bombing runs on the major metropolitan center of Hamilton. The Chinese human rights group, Ren Lei, has condemned the attacks on a large civilian population, comparing it to the wholesale slaughter of Chinese immigrants and POWs in Canuckian prison camps and the Aztec holocaust of antiquity.
General of the Army, Sun "Tzu" Jiang, called the operation's start, "a brilliant success, worthy of a great people. This proves our greatness, and will be remembered for all of history!"
Rumors of a second operation have been spreading with the title "Croissanwich", although there is no official statement as of yet on their validity. The president today did say, however, that he was fairly miffed about how all these state secrets kept spreading, and wondered if more stringent domestic controls were needed due to the ongoing war.
In further presidential miffing, word of secret armistice talks were leaked to the Beijing Times. The president vehemently denounced the information, and declared that war would continue until "all those d---, G--------, s---------, a-------, d-------, z-------, j-------, k------- Canuckians have paid with their lives!" [edited by BT]
Military spokesmen declared that there would be no reason for a Chinese withdrawal from the war, as "we, the Great Chinese Empire, are more than capable of defeating these Canuckians", and lacking a cohesive antiwar movement, there appears to be little pressure on the president to conclude the hostilities abruptly. Still, the departure of the British from the war may have signaled the end for Chinese participation, for now at least.
In other news, a Chinese diplomat spit in the face of his Canuckian counterpart at a parley conference, which in turn made it a parley melee. The Chinese declared they won the ensuing diplomatic exchange of letters and fists, which they said boded well for the Empire, and proved yet again its military might over the C's.

Having some issues with the savegame file. I automatically switch civics when I load it. I'm not aware of any way for you guys to do it (must be Canuckian subversives!), so I'm assuming it's a bug, and have asked GW to replay and resend the file to me, if that's okay. Since he's not at war it shouldn't change anything. If that doesn't work, I'm not sure what to do...
GW couldn't fix it. Could everyone, when they get the chance, open up their latest savegame and check the event log to see if my civic change has happened yet? I really don't want to have to replay 1820, as it took me about an hour to play the first time through. Maybe my game got messed up, I don't know.

When I opened the save (before doing anything except clicking through the completed builds windows) - I got this event log:
So whatever happened to DNK occurred before I got the save. Maybe only Peter will need to replay, since the event log shows the revolt occurring in 1822 - and DNK hasn't even played that year yet!
Something weird happened for sure
