I mean, we do have the whole Brain Drain people-funneling-apparatus which we could probably repurpose without too much effort.

It's easier to convince Europe's humanitarian aid charities.etc to send stuff to China that we can help coordinate there than to send stuff to the relatively stable communist nation for distribution.

Edit: The US is going to do whatever the hell it wants and the CIA is going to disguise itself as humanitarian aid to deliver weapons and advisors.

That is expected of the CIA it's more of a problem if they don't and they are not using them to try to fix the problems in the states themselves because then what could they be doing?
 
That's two problems you're trying to say are one. The issue is that the USSR had systemic breakdowns, a collective failure if you will. (Yes I'm making bad puns about collectives. No I will not stop.)


I think you're underestimating the size and severity of this kerfuffle. If we want international brownie points though then helping to evacuate foreign embassies or consulates should get us some and our position makes us the first choice for international humanitarian aid to go through.


This has been rejected for the crimes of being French. Unrelated, is this pronounced 'ovary'.


1) Chiang would want to but can't unless one of the coastal factions declares for him. He hasn't the shipping, industry, manpower or trust.
2) We'd be better off creating, enforcing and protecting a refugee zone on the mainland. It will be easier to help them there than if they cross over, especially since we'd need help feeding everybody we could and we straight up don't have the supplies for that.
3) Use aid to gather humint about who stands for what, use peace talks and acting as a go between for messages to get an idea of the leadership.
4) Given they currently hold it that isn't an issue. The problem would be a warlord yolo-Inc themselves into India to unite China behind an outside enemy.
5) Go in on the CCP's side alongside the Soviets. Ethically? Lmao.
6) Lmaorofl. Get a navy & enforce searches for weapons off China's coast. Get btfo'd by the USN. Also prep for cargo flights from Japan/Korea & India alongside a reopening of the Burma Road 2. The latter can be contested by flipping Vietnam but will ignite the Indochina powder keg.

Booooo. That was awful. :V
I'm not sure how that's me making two issues into one tho? The causal loop is: party demands unrealistic quotas -> factory skips QC to meet said quotas.

Evacuating consulates is a good idea.

A crime, but a lesser one than being English. :V
No? I assume it would be pronounced 'Ouv-ree' based on how Ourvrier is pronounced.

1) He's certain to shit stir tho. What sort of things is he likely to try?
2) Yeah, that's where I was leaning as well, with a side order of skimming some skilled labour off the top.
3) Yeah, we'll have to insert some agents this turn.
4) I'm not sure I'm parsing your sentence here? Do you mean India holds it, or China holds it?
5) Again, can you expand?
6) I mean obviously the CIA is gonna start shit. What can we do that's within our abilities to reduce their influence?

A naval cordon is not going to happen - we're two years out and we won't be able to spin up production to even try to have enough hulls for it.
Cargo flights, depending on size, might be something we can interfere with by feeding AWACS data to factions that are friendly to our goals.
Wait I thought the Burma road was through Myanmar, what does Vietnam have to do with it?

Also, we forgot a very fun thing:

7) China has a nuclear Arsenal. What's gonn happen to it?

That is expected of the CIA it's more of a problem if they don't and they are not using them to try to fix the problems in the states themselves because then what could they be doing?

CIA works abroad, FBI works at home. Different agencies.
 
The causal loop is: party demands unrealistic quotas -> factory skips QC to meet said quotas.
If there's a loop then root cause analysis says that the problem is elsewhere or everywhere.

4) I'm not sure I'm parsing your sentence here? Do you mean India holds it, or China holds it?
India holds it. Why else would a Chinese warlord be yoloing into it?

5) Again, can you expand?
To keep the double alliance with us attached like a state sized limpet alive we'd need nukes and to go in on the CCP's side alongside the USSR. As is if we don't support the CCP then the alliance wasn't worth the paper it's written on. This does make humanitarian efforts to non-CCP factions impossible however as they'll tell us to fuck off.

What can we do that's within our abilities to reduce their influence?
Interdict non-humanitarian traffic between China and the rest of the world, set South America on fire, get Pakistan fighting India, advance communist sympathies in Africa.

A naval cordon is not going to happen - we're two years out and we won't be able to spin up production to even try to have enough hulls for it.
We'd need frigates for this, not corvettes. The seas between China and us should be relatively calm and enough for the job.

Wait I thought the Burma road was through Myanmar, what does Vietnam have to do with it?
I'm using the Burma road as an example. Functionally it's overland supply via India, Korea & Indochina.

7) China has a nuclear Arsenal. What's gonn happen to it?
Ideally we get CCP aid to locate and secure them. However the CCP will probably also use them.
 
it is a shame that sv doesn't have oh shit reaction


Anyway, @HeroCooky we have agents in US, what are debuffs/buffs for utilizing them to very messily and horrifically murder neo KKK members to spark tensions and potentially civil war in US?
Good joke! No.

You have Jerry in QA working overtime while shmoozing the bosses with praise and on Company Social Events to get up the corporate ladder so he can copy some machine and send it to his handlers in Moscow, Ohio, where Sarah from Accounting is collecting letters from extended family and friends to send to the phillipines thanks to her uncle's friends nephew being a captain and able to smuggle parcels on the cheap over the border into Guangchou to help the people they left behind.

Or shit like that, I am the Funny Word Person, ask someone else to be the spy.
 
We do need to do Navy Modernization, but I didn't want to get stuck into specific promises there. We kind of haven't decided on a concept of operation yet.

The Bomb would be nice, but as long as we're under the USSR's nuclear umbrella, it's not really needed. Maintaining credible second strike capability as such a small nation is very expensive and I'd rather build up to it.

The USSR's problem was more in the distribution and quality control of it's consumer goods than the amount they made. We're probably not going to have too many issues if we only go for the essentials here because people are sadly used to a very low standard of living.

The trains aren't that bad - we're probably going to have them follow the coast for a lot of the time. You just can't get away with just sea shipping in this day and age. Besides, we have a huge labour pool because of structural unemployment from automation - we need to set up a Labour Army and set it to work on big infrastructural projects.
I agree

From That Time I Became A Dictator Of A Small Asian Communist Nation Original it seems that we have quite the leverage on Soviet Union. Maybe ask for their help with consumer goods in exchange for our blueprints? Even take a debt? Given projection of at least major changes in USSR government in 15 years, having small to moderate debt to them is not that big of a deal.

Also, @HeroCooky, since we have superior electronics, Electronic Warfare projects when?

Once someone writes some up, I'm just one barely disguised cryptid writin' here. :V Can't think about everything, now can I?


Edit: On an unrelated note: I am working (read: slow typing over the holidays) on an info-post on how Guangchou Politics works, and I need some *Prime* Guang Names/Acronyms/Backronyms for various Unions.

So. If you want to have some if your personal Alphabet Soup Insanity immortalized as Canon in TTIBADOASACN, strike now!
