Why to Fight for Taiwan in Chugoku
•
by Sophia Forrester
Recently, Japan has taken back three of its regions with Resistance Wars. Now we are experiencing serial Resistance Wars in the Chugoku region. That said, in all four regions, the Resistance Wars happened without orders from the government. During the Kinki Resistance War, President Sumeragi announced that our soldiers must not fight to free these regions. Even so, the Kinki and Shikoku Resistance Wars were also successful.
Because of the automatic "priority" system, some militias have standing orders to fight in the Resistance Wars. Members of those militias have had to choose between obeying the government order and completing their Daily Order from their militias. Understandably, citizens are reluctant to miss out on Energy Bars and bazookas. However, for the long-term national security of Japan, it is crucial that Chugoku remain occupied by Taiwan.
In the last war, we were outnumbered. After that, many citizens left. Our remaining citizens are more inactive. Long story short, we cannot succeed in another war. Unfortunately, losing Chugoku would almost guarantee that another war will take place.
Fruit, the main export of the Kinki and Chugoku regions, is a rare resource in East Asia. Now that Kinki is, at least for the moment, part of eJapan again, Chugoku is Taiwan's only source of Fruit. On the other hand, we now have the fruit resource in Kinki. So from an economic perspective, we do not gain anything from recovering Chugoku -- it we neutral to us, and Taiwan would lose another Food Resource.
Given that Taiwan already stands to gain the Deer from another invasion, taking their Fruit as well would make it politically very difficult for even Japan-friendly politicians in Taiwan to oppose another war. Furthermore, our President is now in direct negotiations with their Congress. They already suspect our intentions. With that in mind, for large numbers of eJapanese to fight for Taiwan in Chugoku would be a very helpful show of good faith. As the negotiations proceed, it could make the difference between another war and a stable peace.
In summary, we do not stand to gain from retaking Chugoku. Our short-term security might increase -- we have one more region to defend in case of a war. However, our long-term security would definitely be endangered. Furthermore, there is no direct benefit to us for reclaiming Chugoku. In the past, I have spoken out against rentals or trades of Kyushu and Chugoku, the two regions where the Japanese culture was born. In the present, I will fight to keep Chugoku in the hands of Taiwan, and I sincerely hope that many of my countrymen will do the same.

Whether or not you agree, please comment and help move the discussion forward.
If Taiwan wants to be our true ally, they need to treat us as such, not like dirt, suspecting us at every turn of working against them. If they were to hold onto Chugoku in the future and be an ally at the same time, I believe it would be unfair to do so without some sort of regular rent payment. Chugoku is native eJapanese land after all! No true alliance can be made unless we stand on equal terms.
It certainly makes sense to ask for a rent payment. That's why avoiding a war is the first step. If they attack again, we don't have the strength to win, but if we stop our advance here, we might be able to hold onto what we've regained.
i agree with keeping japan secure Sophia but i cant nor will i personally accept the fact that we must slave out our regions to others for the sake of security. i know what will happen if they get mad about not getting to hold onto there bonuses but i will never accept the fact that we have regions that we can not keep i will keep fighting for the resistances regardless of what the official government release is saying. i support a free japan at all persona costs
Didn't bother reading. I'm going to keep dumping around a million. c': Hello Taiwan, meet wallet.
Needs more pictures.
Agree, but you could put up a few pictures, indeed. 😁 It's a wall o text.

If you don't want to fight for Taiwan, then you can fight in one of our MPP battles, like USA vs. Hungary. The point is that pushing to get Chugoku back can only hurt us in the end. At best we end up draining each other's resources and ONE is the only one better off after that.

We could fight for our MPP battles but we won't get TP medal, so no ._.

たかがTPメダルの為に国を危険に晒しても良いと思ってんのか

i hate selling out.. will never stand for it under any circumstances
For all the friends above:
Thanks for your kindness if you didin't fight against eROC in Chugoku,
and sincerely, as a RL Taiwanese,
I really want to see Taiwan & Japan sharing a good relationship.
Further diplomatic negotiations and even returning lands will be discussed
if the atmosphere is smooth enough.
So please, don't fight. The more you fight, the more jingoists/facists appear in eROC,
and then NE war may come.
The voice of peace still alives in eROC.
oh and that being said, i will free eJapan no mater how long it takes to do it.. i have all the time in the world.
the good thing about most of us that have commented sophia is that most of us are not in politics, or at least not any more. those that were understand what it is to try and negotiate peace deals between countries when each side is trying to get the best it can from the other. unfortunately like many of those that have commented they will continue to try and see a completely free japan just like ROC would do if another country held several of its regions.
All state supported militia follow the daily order from our MoD.
Fighting for eJapan is low priority but not prohibited!
As a captain all I can do is change the orders to something else. I can't set it to support Taiwan, the game mechanics does not allow to hit against your country, sorry.
@ Geezus: The Current MoD is busy due to RL. The orders would be more than slightly outdated.
@ Darshu: Meh, I don't expect people to hit for eROC. That's not something I would ask for.
@Sophia: well, its okay to set the to other countries, BUT i bet no one really likes that since we have the "true patriot" achievment.
and no offence, but if we are true allies, they would give us back all of the japanese regions and not just 2 or 3. i think it should be obvious now, that we dont want to support their enemies, so why not give us back the whole country? should i guess? its about resources etc etc. so we are still being farmed, but got a few regions back to keep us happy...
Peace is the best.
I think every negotiation should follow such spirit or there will be endless conflicts.
It does no good to both eJapan and eTaiwan.
eJapan taking foreign policy advice from Sophia Forrester? You guys do know she is the one who got you all wiped by Taiwan in the first place and then had a mysterious bout of inactivity shortly afterwards, right Japan? The funny thing is you call ONE eJapan's enemies, but ONE is the only ones who stuck up for Japan against China, TEDEN didn't give a shit and they proved that again when Taiwan wiped us after China almost wiped us. The outlined foreign policy move here is absolutely demeaning.
@God Zilla
As my opinion , i don't care the resource. What I care is our great relationship.
I think if eJP wants its regions back, it should communicate , negotiate with eROC.
Rather than put all its force in battles when eROC was in difficulty.
I am worried about whether I am too arrogant?
But we have had negotiation and contracts at first.
Hope I wouldn't offend anyone.
a1u1usul3 @ eJapan didn't put any force in battle. It was mostly mercenaries and foreign citizens.
I fully support our president's decisions to work WITH eROC to get our lands back peacefully and on a personal level to the guy that said 'meet my wallet' dude...LAME
mad?
Tyrranus Lord @ Chill out....
@Squibeel
I saw big tank like you burning golds in the battle.
So i personally think eJP had put all its force in.
Maybe it's my mistake.There was not official order from eJP MOD , is my comprehension right?
a1u1usul3 @ To tell you the truth I was bored....being held down by another country isn't very fun and sometimes you have the need to just vent a bit.
