Um...the topic I have to ask is very dark.


If you go down the KMT political path, the final stop is the "Black Laboratory", where it mentions human experimentation.


I'm Chinese myself, and unfortunately that refers to one of the most horrific atrocities performed by Japan in the war, that I'm not going to mention or I'm gonna feel physically ill again.


But my main question is, did the KMT ever do this? Because that little thing seems like it's better suited for the Manchukuo focus tree.

no the kmt never done anything like that in real life.
Hmmm...I think that Black Laboratories should be given to Manchukuo then. Instead, the KMT should have a 'University Expansion' focus in its place.


Because during the war, Japan set up a facility in Manchukuo to perform human experimentation on Chinese and Russian prisoners.

Yeah, that would be more suitable for the KMT/non-aligned tree than Black Labs.

ok
So, if you pick Chiang as democratic leader, you now have two KMTs.

I was thinking how this would work historically, and it actually kind of makes sense.

In Rana Mitter's book, China's War With Japan, he points out that the KMT's political leanings went all over the place, from liberal to conservative to moderate to authoritarian. This allowed them to buddy up with the USSR, Nazi Germany and the USA at various points. Chiang was still a dictator, but his talent was keeping the entire KMT united. However, if he had chosen to back the democratic KMT wing rather than the authoritarian wing, a party split would be very likely.

So basically, in-game, if you make that decision, Chiang leads the democratic KMT and all the members that supported it, while all the members who didn't like it lead the non-aligned KMT.

Now, to sort out the problem of having two Chiangs, I have no idea how to solve that.

I think that perhaps Soong-Ching-Ling could be choice for a leader for the China Democratic League and re-name them the Revolutionary Comittee of the Kuomintang and put the standard leader for the RCKMT as Sun Fo

I know this is Cambodian history but I feel it is important nontheless; The Khmer Rouge was a flip flop party siding with the west when they saw fit and the east as well. Not to mention the fact that the Vietnamese communists defeated Cambodia and the Khmer Rouge. A better leader would be the Democratic Party led by Sisowath Youtevong

Can you add ROC focus to retake mongolia and Tanu tuva without striking USSR?
or an event that USSR will ask for peace if Mongolia and Tanu tuva capitulate to ROC?

sorry i think that may be impossible
Gen.Feldm.Rommel  [developer] 19 Jun, 2017 @ 6:55am 
may be possible for for fascist china
Just a question: There's no events involving General Stilwell coming to China, right? Because in real life, he was a massive ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ who destroyed China and America's relationship out of a petty desire for revenge, couldn't cooperate with almost anybody and pushed his own troops too hard.
