    Threadmarks: June 1924

    June 1924 The administration of the province laid out under the constitution borrowed heavily from Old Man Yamagata's writing. That worked pretty well for comparing Shansi and Shensi. Yan had also borrowed from Meiji Japan's efforts to find modernity. That included the organization of municipal...

    Threadmarks: May 1924

    May 1924 A series of dispatches were fired off in a number of directions. The Bolsheviks had attempted to menace Persia, but that had been through the Northwest of that country. With the Cossacks in Kirghiz creating a buffer state there was no longer a land border with Kashmir or Afghanistan...

    Threadmarks: May 1924

    May 1924 Allen had put aside a tour of the artillery where there was another squabble over something or 'nother that Dawes was likely to want weighed in on... he was probably looking for the opportunity to bring something in from Austria, but well this needed to be nipped in the bud sooner...

    Xian's army is qualitatively superior, its an all volunteer force and benefits from having the industralized base to provide equipment and supplies to the troops. So we're talking boots, rucksacks (in the classic bergen sense), field jackets, uniforms in general load bearing equipment...

    To expand on the edit in the above post, Manchuria really is the most comparable entity at this point. Yuan Shikai was able to a limitted extent play both the provincial and national level game at the same time, far more than Duan or Cao part of this is because Yuan was much more accepted as...

    Mussolini was orignally supported by the French, and then he lost the plot and went well into cuckoo land. Literacy is still relatively low at this point, compulsory education is still relativley recent and largely in urban areas (probalby somewhere around half of hte population is literate...

    May 1924 Allen examined the papers with annoyance. The papers only really tended to bring bad news... but then so did the cables too often. The labor government under MacDonald had recognized the Soviet union which was an unpopular and controversial move. There had been an election in Italy...

    Extras: Son of Sam Teaser

    Son of Sam Canopus had a relatively free press, and Luxen being home to one of the few remaining universities in Canopian space had a larger literate population than most periphery worlds. Even if that hadn't been true the population would have passed the troop movements around by word of mouth...

    Threadmarks: 1924

    1924 The rain might have passed, but they were taking full advantage of the soaking it had done the ground to evaluate things. Tires and tracked vehicles both were being watched by junior and senior officers alike. Percy too watched the review with obvious interest, which was a welcome change...

    1924 His attention lifted from the note as the Texan spoke up, "That from Louie?" He questioned, as Allen recognized he should have been looking at other time tables...mostly for new automotive engines larger more powerful V8 and Edsel's V12. There were a lot of talks going on about such things...

    The simple answer is railways... and yes the biggest issue with Chinese administration is that in this period is that infrastructure both in material and manpower had been neglected for so long that there were provinces that had degenerated to the point where some counties in Sichuan were...
