社会主义国民党

Shèhuì zhuyì guómíndang

Leftist Kuomintang

Party flag of the Leftist Kuomintang

主席

Zhuxi

President

Madame Soong Ching-Ling

Exiled but not gone:

Chiang Kai Shek might’ve slaughtered much of his opposition but he has not snuffed it out. The fire of Chinese Revolution still shines in Ulaanbaatar, though not as bright as before. When the Shanghai Massacre occurred, and Chiang defended the slaving merchants over the oppressed workers many in the Kuomintang knew that a new wave of feudal repression was headed towards China.

When the venerable Wang Jingwei, who now is with his ancestors, split with the vile capitalist regime all of China suffered Chiang’s repressions. Thousands of our ardent comrades were slaughtered, many more died whilst fleeing across the border. The party carried the Will of Heaven with it, however, and found refuge within the Mongol step, thirty-three thousand made, and thirty-three thousand voted.

The ballots spoke true, Madame Soong Ching-Ling was the next President of China. Known as Madame Sun Yat-sen, due to being his third wife, Soong knew that her nation needed to be free from feudal repression; but she also knew that it needed to return to its roots. The President quickly consolidated the splinter party’s ideology, combining State Confucianism, Marxist-Leninism, and Libertarian Socialism into the “宋主席语录” or “Quotations of President Soong”.

The manifesto was distributed throughout the Leftist Kuomintang followers, it preached collectivism, spirituality, nationalism and decentralized governance. It quickly became known as the “Little Red Book”.

With stable footing and a solid ideology, the Socialist Kuomintang now was poised to retake China and claim the mandate of the people! To unite all people under Heaven and to break the chains of the worker!

Solidarity between the workers:

Soong knew that whilst her current militia was hardened and moralized, 30.000 men would not suffice. Many in her staff, like the trustworthy Captain Lei Feng, knew that they would never amass enough soldiers to wage conventional warfare against Kai Shek, but right now they needed to bolster their numbers. Soong began meeting with the Prime Minister of Mongolia, Khorloogiin Choibalsan, she hoped to sweeten relations between the splinter party and the Mongolian State. [Mod]

Attempts at recruiting some Mongolian volunteers are made, promising them future homes in the region of Inner Mongolia if they help free China from slavery to capital. [Mod]

Eating at the foundation:

Attempts are made at creating leftists cells within China. Illegal printing presses are set up, the Little Red Book is distributed, all in hopes of spreading the ideology of Red Confucianism to the workers. Rice farmers are promised collective ownership of the rice fields, industrial workers are promised democratic representation within their factory. Everyone is promised an egalitarian and equal society, based upon socialistic and democratic values. [Mod]

The Crane and the Bear:

Overtures are made to the Soviet Union. The Socialist Kuomintang asks the Kremlin to give help both financially and in terms of equipment. Soong requested enough equipment to outfit her militia of 30.000 men, and, with the approval of Stalin, that was accomplished, strengthening the power of solidarity between the workers! [SOVIET UNION APPROVED!]

Partisan Activities:

Across the border of Mongolia several raids would occur. They would be focused on infrastructures like Railways. Rails would be blown up and trains boarded. Whatever the militia gathered from the train would be re-distributed to the poor in the region in order to foster relations with the locals. [Mod]

"THEY CAN'T DO THIS THIS HURTS ME, AS A CANONIST, EVEN THOUGH I OPENLY DENOUNCE THE CURRENT PONTIFF AND THE HOLY MOTHER CHURCH!!!! HOW DARE THEY ATTACK ANOTHER CANONIST EVEN THOUGH WE BROUGHT THIS WAR ON OURSELVES BY BEING ARROGANT AND INSULTING THE CHURCH OVER AND OVER REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!" Screeches herman.

"Good read this." States Herman as he looks at Brother Bob's document.

1 minute ago, Bloody Russian said:

Samuel reads over this a few times, stroking his chin thoughtfully. "While indeed the paganism of the Norlanders disturbs me as much as any Canonist, at least they don't condone massacres like those of the supposedly 'holy' children of the former Empire.  When a so-called holy nation is less holy than infidels, it reflects rather poorly on them. May the Pontiff find new ways to moralize his nation so the glorious Church of the Canon may continue, with God's word being spread no longer by corrupted Renatusians, but rather through true holy men of Faith rather than selective dogma."

"Norland doesn't massacre yet hung innocent bodies of nuns around their city. Huh." Herman hmmms rather loudly, placing his finger to his mouth.

"The Holy Mother Church only entered the war when consecrated men and women were butchered by Hansae's ally: Norland. Unlike Norland the nonbeliever allies of Renatus-Marna do not butcher the faithful and their shepherds. Furthermore, Hansae has shown naught but disrespect towards the Church, through their conflict with the Sisters of Blessed Catherine and the Poor Fellows of Saint Lucien, and, instead of wishing to discuss matters with us, in a friendly and humble manner Hansae-men decide to insult the Church and Her Hierarchs. The complete silence on the part of Hansae in attempting to mend their relations with the Mystical Bride of GOD has shown great imprudence and shame on the part of one of the oldest Daughters of the Church. Surely the great Saints that Hansae has produced weep bitter tears at their kin's folly." Replies Herman.

Magyar Királyság

Kingdom of Hungary

Király

King

Ottó II István von Habsburg

Heir: Archduke Felix (Brother)

Queen: Unmarried

Kancellár

Chancellor

Miklós Horthy

Miniszterelnök

Prime Minister

Count Pál Teleki de Szék

“Do you, Ottó István Ignatius Pius von Habsburg, swear, until your dying breath, to keep and protect the Hungarian constitution?” Droned Miklós within the House of Magnates in the Parliament.

“I do.” Came a quick response from the lips of Otto, his brow sweating under the heat that the lights inflicted upon his Germanic pale flesh.

“Do you, Ottó István Ignatius Pius von Habsburg, swear, until your dying breath, to protect and cherish the Hungarian homeland of which you are considered Apostolic King?”

“I do.”

“Do you, Ottó István Ignatius Pius von Habsburg, swear, until your dying breath, to uphold the Sacred Faith that unites the Hungarian people under the worship of God?”

“I do.”

With those final words the representatives within the House stand up, clapping, some more enthusiastic than others as Otto, officially, becomes the Apostolic King of Hungary.

Economy:

With the price of grain rather low because of the Great Depression and the Market Crash, Teleki looked for ways to improve its situation. Free trade deals with France and Britain, for cheap grain products, are sent out. This move is hoped to be particularly popular within the Smallholder’s faction in the Party of Unity.

Money ceases to be printed so that inflation stops rising. The government hopes that the Pengö’s value will stabilize. [Mod]

Special economic zones nearby Budapest, Debrecen, and Pécs are created. Therein certain laws that might restrict factories and industry from popping up are waved. Teleki hopes for a quick re-industrialization of the country to alleviate the growing poverty rates within the cities. [Mod]

Additionally, members of the wealthy Krupp family are invited to come to Hungary. Since Germany turned communist Hungary hoped to capitalize off this and offer the Krupp a stately house as well as large plots within those economic zones to re-setup their companies within Hungarian soil. [Mod]

Military:

Horthy recognizes that the current situation that Hungary is in is precarious. To the north two great behemoths of Communism. The Royal Hungarian Army only numbers at around 87.000 men, which, Horthy and Ottó, considered lacking. New incentives to make the unemployed (~28%) join the army are made, this would eliminate unemployed men causing crime and bolster the army. [Mod]

Hungary would request to buy around 300 Renault R35 tanks from France in order to modernize its armored divisions.

Constitution:

With the ascension of Otto to the throne, the current constitution would replace the Regent (Horthy) with the King. The military, of course, wouldn’t be happy with this, thus a constitutional amendment was made. Horthy would assume the title of Chancellor (as well as Duke of Kenderes), and while the King’s word could override Horthy’s it was clear to Ottó that doing so would likely mean losing his throne for the second time. Besides this, not much else changed and the Status Quo was maintained, for the time being at least.

Diplomacy:

Closer relations with Poland and France are sought after, but Poland especially. State visits would be planned and general gestures of friendship are given from Budapest to Warsaw. [Mod]

Budapest wishes to reinstate its power over the Balkans and the Crown of Stephen. Pro-Hungarian rhetoric would be passed to the Hungarians living under Romanian and Czechoslovakian domination. [Mod]

"Wait," Leofwine would ask hiself, confused, "Did the high pontiff improperly cite the word of Owyn? The line which he is referencing, would appear to be Owyn 7:2, where as he has cited it as Owyn 7:7. Rather foolish mistake for a pontiff to make, and in his very first decree." He would then quit reading the text and kneel, praying to God about the matter.

"Good sir, I've counted and it is indeed 7:7. Might you also explain how you know the scrolls? Only ordained members are allowed to read them..." A man in an hermit's frock comments, adjusting the laurels 'pon his head.

"Amen." Says Herman.

"I love how all her totally-not-sexual-friends are rioting over a just punishment." Jan jests as he looks at the gathering forming around the decree.

"Wasn't Lorina hunted down for having relations with a Lord and rebelling against the faith?" Jan says aloud, looking over at the missive. "Either way, GOD bless them."

Publius is the most toxic person in LoTC it would be, erroneous, idiotic and down right MORONIC to grant him ANY position of power. Dare I say that if he does, somehow, succeed in gaining a position within ANY staff team it is a clear sign of how this server has gone to the dogs and how far it has fallen since the days of old!

The youth sat upon his bed outside of the Lord Palatine's office, a vial of sacramental chrysm and a steel blade by his side.

"Ave Oenus, vires plena, Dominus tecum..."

Jan dabbed his finger upon some of the sacramental oils, making the patern of the cross of Horen upon his blade as he prayed.

"...Benedicta tu in imperatoribus..."

The Londenlander continued with the ritual, a few candles within his home altar burning lightly, he formed the cross of Lorraine with his finger over his blade.

"...et benedictus fabulae fractarum tui, Sancte..."

The soft murmur of his prayer to Exalted Owyn matched the flicker of the candles upon his altar, above the altar a painting of Blessed Jack Rovin and Saint Kristoff as he made the cross of Rhodesia with the oils, his finger feeling the cold steel as he did so.

"...Sanctus Oenus, Defensor Casti, ora pro nobis peccatoribus..."

 As he began to finish the prayer his voice rose, his eyes now upon his altar piece upon his room as he mentally made a vow to GOD Himself. His thumb gathering any remaining chrysm before he made the cross of Hussaria upon the weapon.

"...nunc et in hora mortis nostrae, Deus Vult."

The youth crosses himself, rising from his siting position as he goes to blow out the candles, sheathing his sword he's take his arbalest with him also before making his way down to Markev, to join the Clovannii and his remaning kinsmen in the fight against the undead and the unholy.
