cherry blosoms bloom
spring has arrived in Japan
time to kill Chinese
(ancient Japanese war haiku)
After a visit to Germany, to celebrate them being offensive.. er... their new offensive, our glourious leader was enraged to find "Made In China" stamped on all his souveniers. To make him feel better, the air force desided to target Chinese trinket factories this season. Oh and train season is still open, too.
Picture burning factories and trains... that's all your going to get this season.
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty & well preserved body,
but rather to skid in broadside, totally worn out & proclaiming "WOW, what a ride!"
Leningrad has fallen! The shame! Stalin has decreeded to rename the city Boris'grad to lessen the the german victory. Boris has been reported as being despaired at the lose of his namesake city and then he returned to his position on the factory floor.
on a positive note, german tanks appear to be lagging behind in the arms race.
The spring was quiet for the British Empire. Plans are being drawn up and supplies laid away for a major Winter offensive. Photos are not available due to the sensitive nature of the operation. The only comment the Crown made was "...Lets just say that a Northern European Monarchy will be back in power come winter's end!"
That comment came after hearing of the continued success of the British Africa Corp's march across the North African fertile plains. British munitions and plane manufacturing companies received new contracts to ramp up production of the new high speed, powerful Spitfire model fighter for this upcoming invasion.
In other news; supplies continue to flow into Russia through "secret" ports across the Russia frontier. These badly needed supplies will help the Soviet Union crush the German invading armies and hurl them back into Germany!
FREE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD, UNITE!
"Yeah that I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil...because I am."
Summer in China... hot, smelly, unfriendly.... and that's just the locals! Switching focus again to keep the enemy off guard, as well as our allies, we killed mobs of Chinese soldiers this season and another AA gun. Unfortunately this was accomplished by our crack Kamakazi squadrons.[8|]. The commanding officer in charge of this offensive has been order to retieve the planes that were lost, by himself, on foot, with a bamboo stick for a protection. Also since the USA stopped giving us handouts, we took Siam. That'll show them who's boss.
No pics 'cause it's too ugly for that.

In other news, the German ambassador in Tokyo has died suddenly. He apparently fell on his Japanese appointed body guard's sword while laying in his bed, severing his head cleanly from his neck.

The Soviet Intelligence has been purged! Stalin was in a foul mood after the bumbling fools reported that Germany maintained only a neglible tank force. They'll now be writing reports on the temperature and wind conditions in the gulag!
The Chinese Air Defense Minister Chung Zao is being congratulated on his AA placement during the past few seasons. He stated that his secret strategy for predicing gun emplacements was [CENSORED]. Who would have thought of something so elagant but Zao himself!
Chinese front line troops stared in dismay as an obviously high ranking japanese officer labored before their eyes. He escaped before the troops realized it was some form of psychological warfare.
Fall 1941.. yet another bad season to be a commander in the Imperial Forces of Japan. All out assault results in a retreat of Japanese forces and lots of dead Chinese... but not the @$#%&# AA guns!!!![:@] Ah well... you can always promote more poor.. er... willing souls to lead the mighty charge!!
No pics as the camera man died in foolish raid that resulted in more Chinese peasents joining up with pitch forks.[:-]

all is quiet on the soviet western front. everything is in preparation for the winter offensive and the drive to Berlin. No attempt at even probing our forces has been made, making some in the Kremlin question the german motives for the war.
The chinese have weathered the storm. a huge air assault, followed by what looked like the entire japanese army, was repulsed! The local peasantry was rallied together and under the banner of patriotism sacrificed themselves in order to preserve our frontline troops.
motives for the continued japanese assault against the province of Changsha have hinted at the Japanese Foreign Minister looking to reconquer a chinese ex-girlfriend who resides there.
Winter 1942...
We are now way off our strategic planning timetable....(not too obvious I don't play Japan often enough[8|])
Ah well, we shall forge ahead.
Took some more Chinese rice paddies to turn into luxury Japanese condos at the end of the war. Rearranged some troops for spring assult... er... maneuvers.... er... plantings...
Also beat up on some rabble that is causing trouble in the occupied territories.

Stalin called for a winter push, against the advice of the generals. seems that our artillery was lost in a snowstorm and blundered upon a reinforced german regiment. needless to say, they never had a chance.
Our chinese comrades report a buildup of air forces in shanghai and have used this as evidence for USA political sanctions. They are not very confident of their chances this spring, it seems that its the year of the rat.
a warning goes out to japan though, mind your eastern shores.
