We have dealt peacefully with the Communists but they attempt to force our hand. We will demand they cease their barbarian tactics immediately or face complete annihilation

Modernization must continue, but we will not rely on the tactics of the European World. We will instead look internally not only to our country's great military minds but also to other Eastern nations like Japan.

We will be placing a strict quarantine on all trade in and out of the Shanghai region. We will place 5 Infantry Divisions and all 4 Cruisers on the border of British-controlled territory until the British fix their problem.

The Republic Of China Announcement:

We, The Republic of China, want to let the nations of the world understand the awful tragedies done by some in our nation. In the past, there was a cruelty done by some and our ranks, but we want to let the world know that we have put to justice some that have sought to "purge" Japanese sympathizers from our nation. We respect Japan's sovereignty and their right to rule and do not want more bloodshed between our two nations. China stands with all Asian nations in a push for global prosperity and tranquility.

We hope that this trade route will be the start of an illustrious friendship for many years.

France has signed an alliance with Russia and is obviously willing to help this great country in case some countries continue to want to destroy its economy.

Yes, our trade alliance on such raw materials will assist both nations greatly. I look forward to the investment that the good people of France are planning to share with us to help revitalize our apparent struggling economy, left by the previous administration.
