The mass killings of the "pests", part of Mao's belief in the Revolutionary transformation and conquest of nature, did little to mitigate the famine, in fact, the killing of sparrows by the population would only worsen the pest control of the countryside. For that reason, Mao could be talked out by Anying in 1963, just three months after the start of the campaign, to stop the killing of Sparrows, at the suggestion of soviet advisors and reports from the countryside. Instead, there was a great encouragement for the Chinese people to own cats, leading to a population boom of the house pet in the 1960s.
I suppose even Mao can be a stopped clock.Instead, there was a great encouragement for the Chinese people to own cats, leading to a population boom of the house pet in the 1960s.
Which eagle? America or Germany?This is the official end of Volume II of the Iron Eagle, I thank everyone who has accompanied so far. I intend to continue the story with volume III. Perhaps still this week there will be the Epilogue which should introduce a major player for the next Volume "Fallen Eagle".
Thats for you to figure outWhich eagle? America or Germany?
Protagonist is... certainly a way to describe. Usually protagonist is associated with heroism, goodness or at least a morally grey atitude. The protagonist here is as sinister as it can get by this Point or View.My guess is that it's Germany because it's both the TL's protagonist and the titular "Iron Eagle"
A maoist -integralist cold war would be unique, to say atleast.Why not both
Russia I would say has enough nukes that striking them is probably not worth it. Also this assumes that the US does not just fall to tyranny rather than actually falling apart. Even if the US loses all influence outside of its border they probably would still have enough nukes to take everyone else out if they tried anything.With the US out of the picture, whats stopping Germany from nuke blietzing the other Great Powers?
I doubt England can effectivelky guarantee MAD
How many nukes Russia has now in the story?Russia I would say has enough nukes that striking them is probably not worth it. Also this assumes that the US does not just fall to tyranny rather than actually falling apart. Even if the US loses all influence outside of its border they probably would still have enough nukes to take everyone else out if they tried anything.
Well given what was in Truths or Lies i fear it could be the Americans. Or it could be both.Which eagle? America or Germany?
Would it? With TNO and its influence on the alternate history community, Russia coming back and destroying the Nazis after they had a civil war has become the new cliche/trope.Well if its Germany that falls we could have a reconquest of Europe!
And considering the hardlifting would be done by the russians, we could actually see a White World after the USSR lost WWII
That sure would be something new
