Japanese Settle Down in Southern China

[Japan]

Damaged bunkers are to be repaired and more production
of mines to be increased in Southern China. Machine tools are
being moved from Japan to southern China to equip the newly
build factories. Japanese small industries will concentrate
their efforts on making Machine tools for both Japanese and
Chinese factories.

The Japanese army has decided to take the initiative and
design models of various new equipment that has been
invented during the war.

/me 60mm, 81mm & 150mm mortars

Batteries of Japanese Model 41 (1908) 75mm Infantry
Guns are being deployed in much more numbers in
defensive positions along the new borders. Now the
new 70mm howeisters have begun arriving. These
will be deployed 2000 yards behind the forward bunkers
in concrete emblacements that will later be protected by
the 75mm AAA. But for now each will have small concrete
bunkers arround them with machine guns.

The Machines from the factories in northern china are
being moved to Southern china,.

[Afghanistan]

Afghan forces in southern China are being recalled to Indochina. Afghan forces in Tibet will reconstruct the destroyed bridge and finish training the tibetan defense forces before leaving, and recognizing it's soveriegty.

[Greece]

The Greeks are moving back to the Indochinese boarder and the Greek Navy moves back to the greek ports.

[Japan]

Troops arrive from northern China (including Shandong)

[Afghanistan]

Afghan troops deploy into northern China, to hold the area until a permanent government can be restored.

[Japan]

20 Miroku Class minelayers are being built at Chinese shipyards.

[Japan]

New equipment is preplacing the old ones, the unrealiable
Chauchat guns will be replaced with drum fed more realiable
lmg's.

Chinese labarours continue to work on the defensives
besides the soldiers for their daily teal. Trenches with punji
sticks and nasty suprises are being dug between the
frontal bunkers and the main line. Bwetween these are traps
and hidden mg nests.

The Mitsubishi compant is making 20 shipyards so that
further 20 Miroku class ships can be built simeltanously.

[Nippon]

Mines are being planted in Japanese waters, stocks of
these exists and are to be deployed at stratigical locations.

The first of the minelayers has been commisioned and is now
planting mines of southern china and then returning to fetch
more mines to continue the planting.

[Japan]

Defensives are being set up arround the red depression and
Chinese that live their will be trained to defend it.

[Afghanistan]

The command of defensive positions along the Chinese border with Vietnam and Laos are being reinforced. Steel rebarb and concrete from Greece are being brought in as are Sikh artificers.

[Afghanistan]

Bunkers have sprung up along the trench line, and stretches are begging to become reinforced with concrete. Bulldozers have been brought in behind the line to start building a second line, as well as a series of bunkers between the two. Aerial observation balloons can be seen rising over the trenches, along with fortified, steel and concrete watch towers. Reports are coming in of large guns being constructed within the trenches themselves. They are large, black powder mortars rigged to fire more modern style shells, an old style of tech that Afghanistan had at the begining of the war.

[Afghanistan]

Despite the peace talks Japan is still not trusted. The lines have been complete, and the last features, brand new Hand of God Flamethrowers, are being installed. Troops are being put on full alert, expecting Japan to pull something.
