Republic of China (Blue Dream)

''"We become what we do." ''

        -Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek 

Full Power (1927-1937)
China was not in a safe place for many years. Before 1927, China was supposidly a republic, however the nation itself was divided. In the west, Tibet and East Turkestan are free from Chinese domination. Closer to home, the warlords held on to precious cities near the east coast. Only the unifying influence of the nationalists ended the warlord streak. Alas, Chiang Kai-Shek was at war with the Communist Party of China. By the 1920's, he was winning, yet the whole nation was up for grabs. He could not give away power as if he left office, the republic would most likely collapse and fragment. For years, however, Nationalist victories made it pocible to actually drive out the comunists. Even after Mao's Long March, the CPC was finally being beaten. BY the 1930's, Communist forces were driven from the east, and now hid in central China. The Nationalists knew they were strong. It had been nearly a decade of The German State cooperating with the Chinese. Also, Chiang began to get minor support from the Americans as well. By 1936, now Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek would fly to X'ian, to announce his final offensive against the Communists by driving west. Right as he was about to go, a terrible storm impeded his flight. Alas, discarding his speech, he simply gave the go ahead, and Nationalist forces surrounded Mao's final holdout. As Nationalist Panzer I tanks burst through the lines, Mao escaped, however the Communists were effectivly routed and displaced, for now. Now, with everything in place, Chiang's China could fully focus towards the troubling situation with the Japanese in Manchuria

China's Catastrophe (1937-1945)
Thankfully, the Republic of China did dismantle the communists in their country, as a new enemy was preparing again. Back in the early 30's the Japanese did invade China, however, Chiang was occupied with the Communists. As soon as the Communists were dismantled, Chiang Kai-Shek ordered his generals to immediatly reorganize and move forces to the coastline and the border. Even though it was very little time to prepare for the Japanese invasion, it was better than what the Nationalists did in OTL. Alas, the Marco Polo bridge incident occured. The Japanese did not tell the Chinese forces that they were having an excersize. Thus, Chinese forces fired across the bridge. They thought the Japanese were attacking. This lead to the Japanese Empire to begin (an already planned) full scale invasion of the Republic of China. Japan did have trouble trying to take Beiping due to an increased presence of troops, but succeeded of course. Japanese forces swept from the north, albeit a slower pace than in OTL. Eventually, Chiang's best units were destroyed, however it bought his government valuable time to prepare Nanking from attack. Almost immediatly, Shanghai and other coastal cities were attacked. China's best units were repulsed and/or destroyed. All of this, however, bought time for Nanking. By 1939, a year later than OTL, Nanking was attacked, and these elements were from the Japanese forces from Shanghai. These forces were eliminated by counter attack. Despite that, the situation seemed hopeless, so a large amount of soldiers and civilians left the city in time towards Wuhan. The Japanese eventually entered Nanking, however many less people died. As the Nationalists operated from Wuhan, they, at first, lost battles, albeit a slower rate.
