yes. for one, I made the alliance when there was a player on it, and even if there wasn't, you're allowed to be allied to non player nations as long as the formation of the alliance is realistic.
secondly, it doesn't really matter for China. I'm just waiting for Plus Nova Imperii to get back to me with a treaty before I extend the Khan's emergency control over China indefinitely after the leader was assassinated (by us but nobody really needs to know that). Once I have China, that's about the time that I'd be willing to negotiate the return of some of your land, as discussed over TGs.
I don't think they would have the manpower either to man the front. Relying on auxiliaries from a vassalised nation is never a good strategy, and it seems that the Turks have terrible supply and logistics, considering the lack of infrastructure in their territory doesn't just impede us, it impedes them too. Yeah, they could outnumber us, but is that really going to matter when they don't have supply?
actually, we do have good logistics. The lack of infrastructure in our territory is similar to Guyana's IRL policies against Venezuela, make a big patch of almost impassable nothing, and force your enemies to walk through it to get to the infrastructure. The Khanate is industrialized and modernized.
1. only parts of the border are intentionally undeveloped 2. what villages and towns? the point of the tactic is that there is no domestic supply for you 3. in the areas of intentional undevelopment most of the front line troops have supply stockpiles for themselves and use guerilla tactics in raiding the enemy's supply, while falling back to the conventional troops where the infrastructure is as the enemy conventional army advances, further exacerbating the logistical nightmare that going through these areas are designed to be. the point is to weaken your army before it reaches any real contact with the enemy.
It's not even a border dispute, they haven't given any demands. they just said that my tactics wouldn't work for untrue reasons. I said in my post and in TGs that I am willing to negotiate on the border, but they seem hell-bent on war with the idea that my army hasn't advanced since the 1200s.
plus, they treated my tactical ideas as if they were fact, when they were supposed to be the best approximation of how the war council thinks one would go. They might be wrong.

Freedom is not dead. It breathes again, in a new world, where democracy has continued to spread, where liberal Republicanism can ensure the survival of the democratic nation. The OFN is a symbol of this belief, of the belief of Freedom. Led by the United States of America, the bastion of democracy, the OFN had beaten their fascist rivals on more than one occassion, helping those under them rebel, and bringing freedom once more. Yet, with the reimergence of old friends, ambitions begin to brew in DC. Words start to be thrown around. Competitors to Freedom? No, no it couldn't be, but it is. As rivalry begins to develop between the rising powers of liberal democracy, of America, China, and Russia, only time will tell until something will explode.
Vasily Shushkin had delievered freedom to Russia, and his Russia had delievered freedom to Eurasia once more. However, trouble continues to brew in the region. The Russian people still have not forgotten about the humiliating defeat at Amur, against the Chinese forces, thereby ensuring Chinese control to Vladivostok. Continuing tensions have been occuring over Poland, as the OFN refuses to revoke its guarantee of what the Russians believe should be 'under their protection'. Increasingly, Russia has found itself facing increasing animosity towards its old allies. Why should the CSTO be subserviant to the OFN, or the SCO? This new feeling of Russian nationalism worries the other members of the faction, especially the Ukrainain Republic, and the Baltic nations, as the CSTO continues to grow more divisive than ever, the future of the faction is uncertain.
The Republic of China, allied with the Republic of India, had founded the Shanghai Cooperation Organization as a purely economic alliance, along with Tibet and Afghanistan. Nothing more, nothing less. But as time rolled by, this vision was challenged by many factors. The Sino-Russian Amur Conflict terrified the Chinese, and although they won, they would fear a second Russian attack. And spies across the Indian DMZ revealed that the Free Indian Goverment were planning to amass a greater amount of troops within the region. As these two nations began to fear for their sovereignty, they would decide to turn the SCO into not just an economic alliance, but a military alliance, in order to ensure the safety of Asia, but time will tell whether they succeed.
The glory days of the Einheitspakt have almost surely ended. Bormann's inaction had caused all Reichskommistrats but Burgundy to fall under the hands of rebellion and conquest, and the disastorous Russian Reconquest of Mosckowien was a disastorous defeat for the German army. Germania hopes that Spain will be a new member, but even that is seeming less and less likely, as the Frente Azul continue to lose more and more ground to the OFN and Triumvirate backed Spanish Republic. Now, Bormann's successor, the elderly Gerhard Klopfer, struggles to keep the alliance together. Romania and Hungary grow ever more reckless, whilst Denmark begins preparations to finally throw their shackles off once and for all. It is up to Klopfer, or his successor, to bring the pact back together, or else the glory days of the Second Weltkrieg will all be lost.
The Triumvirate has lost members, but, naturally, Italy has moved on. Italy remains in a much better shape than the fascist state up north. Despite the humiliating defeat to Greece in the Hellenic Revolt, and the loss of Turkey to the OFN, the Triumvirate still has its influence in Africa, and Italy still remains a powerful state. Despite this, the Triumvirate remains all but abandonned, with the Italian government hoping that maybe the Spanish Republic could rejoin. Italy tried to find new members, and found some in the Arab peninsula, Yemen and Oman, both who were terrified of the socialist state to their north. Now, Italy tries to improve relations with the OFN, even liberalizing their government a little, although to what extent it is disputed. The Triumvirate needs to find its place in this new world, yet it fall back into the hands of darkness.
Out of all members of the old Axis, Japan remains one of the most influential, although its power greatly diminished. Its humiliating loss to China in the Third Sino-Japanese War had effectively kicked Japan out of much of east Asia, whilst its disastourous loss to the Communists in the Phillipines had left its naval power in the region weakened. However, Japan still reigns as the master of the Pacific, and its alliance, being a collection of Japanese vassals, remains powerful, both economically and militarily, with Japan furthering influence beyond the faction. Only time will tell whether or not the sphere will regain its power, but when it does, Japan will be at the center of it.
Who said Communism was dead? Of course it isn't dead. The Fifth Internationale still remains. Whilst the Third Internationale fell due to the machinations of the terrible fascist party, and the Fourth Internationale has been all but forgotten, the Pan-African Liberation Front now leads the Fifth Internationale. A bastion of worker solidarity, the Fifth Internationle continues to find success, with the Bolivarian conquest of Venezuela, as well as its continued support to Asturias and Catalonia. Now, the Fifth Internationale finds itself a power faction, and though it may not compare to the likes of the OFN, the CSTO, or the SCO, it continues to grow more powerful, day by day.
The Second Sadabat Pact was recently formed because Turkey and Italy still had friendly relations, and the Turks wished for middle eastern cooperation. As such, the pact was primarily founded by the Turkish State, the Egyptian Sultanate (which is still largely Italian controlled), the Persian State, the Kingdom of Afghanistan, and the United Arab Republic, as a semi-defensive, semi non-agression pact. However, the pact was, to say, extremely fragile. Immediately the pact nearly faltered due to past Arab-Persian tensions regarding the Iraq-Iran war, that was only patched due to pressure from Italy and Turkey. Italy had also pressured its allies, Yemen and Oman, to join the pact, despite their hostile relations to the United Arab Republic. With these divisions, many believe that its extremely unlikely to be kept, however the Turks and Italians maintain their optimism in this regard.
Events
3 years after the Amur Conflict, Russian civillians continue to be deported from Outer Manchuria to Russia, leaving a refugee crisis in the region.
Ongoing Kurdish insurgency in Turkey. The Turkish government has dennounced these Kurdish separatists as 'terrorists being funded by the Kurdish State'.
Greco-Turkish Disputes over Cyprus continue, Washington worries that a potential conflict could break out between the two OFN allies.
The Nagorno-Karabakh Conflict continues between the OFN-backed Turkey and the CSTO-backed Armenia
Ethiopian and South Sudanese Insurgency continues
The Iberian War marks its 24th year, armed insurgency continues.
So across the entire border, there's places where it's just barren and desert, and places where it's just... not? Then why would I ever advance into those undersupplied regions? I'll just concentrate my forces and advance into the places where there is domestic supply, then? After all, I'm only trying to get my old lands back and nothing more. I wouldn't need to advance far into the steppe, after all the area around Baikal isn't steppe either. I'm not sure how to comprehend this.
Besides, areas of wasteland don't just end at your border, it's not like on one side there's a desert and then on the other side there's a massive industrial city with railroads and fields and fields of wheat. Considering I didn't bother to develop the areas near the border either, you're suffering from the exact same issues I do if you advance into my land. Even a token skeleton crew would be enough to hold your armies back.
And besides, you all would probably lose in direct combat with me. Your hordes of Chinese farmers probably wouldn't do too great against four Gatling Guns attached to each other raining down hellfire from a trench.
alr will put you on (feel free to start rping whenever you want, for now here's the lore) The Iberian War was grim for the Spanish. Marking its now 26th year of continued violence and decay, the Spanish people still hold on for hope and for a new dawn. The Spanish Republic has given them to that. A lose coalition between liberals, conservatives, socialists, and monarchists, ruled by a combined coalition of Christian Democrats and Social Democrats, the Spanish Republic has maintained its foothold in the war, to become the most powerful faction. Supported and backed by the Organization of Free Nations, as well as Italy later in the war, the Spanish Republic continues to dominate, defeating two fascist factions, leaving only Frente Azul left, and helping the Portuguese win their civil war.
After years of liberal democracy, corruption, and being supported by the US as a puppet, our nation has become a minor power and is under the control of the US government. However, with America falling into a Civil War, Catholics and right-wing circles have risen up against liberal democracy to free the country from the US once and for all
The war council was relaying the strategy for a total war, in the case of Russian desire for full annexation. It doesn't account for what exactly you will do or demand because it's not supposed to and that's metagaming. nor is that plan specifically supposed to win a direct combat. it is to make a direct combat costly enough that you would rather not try it. What I'm saying isn't that my tactics will work and defeat you 100% of the time, just that these are the tactics I use, and the reasoning behind them. They may work, they may not. the only way to find out is to actually have a war. As I have said, however, I am willing to negotiate on the border, so does it even matter?
In my post, The Khan sent a telegram to Moscow asking about why the troops were there. If you intend to get those lands back, then use that line of communications, and negotiate.
