TNO Super Event: The Great Asian War

Super event from the latest release of TNO 1.2.0 Toolbox Theory.

0:00 - Great Asian War (High Legitimacy)
0:45 - Great Asian War (Not enough Legitimacy)

[SowerEye]

“We carry through until the very end.” -Sun Yat-Sen, National Anthem of the Republic of China.

[shiny]

By far one of the bloodiest if not the bloodiest modern war in TNO’s history but by god is it the good ending

[toufunow]

Lyrics of the PRC national anthem (for the high legitimacy version):

"Stand up! Those who refuse to be slaves!
With our flesh and blood, let's build our newest Great Wall!
The Chinese Nation is at its greatest peril,
Each one is forced to let out one last roar.
Stand up! (gun fire)
Stand up! (gun fire)
Stand up! (gun fire)
We are billions of one heart,
Braving the enemies' fire, March on!
(gun fire×4)
Braving the enemies' fire, March on!
(Charge bugle and battle cry of soldiers)
March on! March on! on!
"

which I think is a perfect match for this super event

[omni]

You guys forgot the third super event: Thermonuclear war as Long Yun marches into Korea and naval invades Taiwan and Sakahlin by stacking the million dead Japanese from failed naval invasions towards the island.

[nowhereman]

I miss Open The Door and the Sun Yat-Sen quote.

[fifervonpiper]

50 million manpower, human wave tactics, and total war across Asia. *Hell yeah*

[AdmiralKarlDonuts]

PRC anthem for high legitimacy, ROC anthem for low legitimacy.



I wonder if that indicates a possible Dengist

[randomhistoryguy]

"The time has come brothers DEATH TO THE IJA"-Long Yun probably

[asdf-utqs]

I think when it's low legitimacy it's better to use the old version. As Sun-won speaking, it shows that everyone turn away, thinking it is an act of suicide. and The current low legitimacy event is Probably suit for Gao Zhongwu's China version GAW.

First superevent goes like a tide. The intro feels like a bomb being detached from airplane hatch, like an avalanche, that can not stand still any longer. It is a tide of people, willing to free China from turmoil, slavery, and international opression. The peoples of China are finally united under one banner and goal, and dream - a banner of free china, a goal of stopping the suffering, and a dream of freedom. The trumpets call them into battle, it's a signal to all Chinese that the war of liberation has begun. The thunder of guns and marching steps of millions of volunteers echoes as the voices rise higher and higher in song. And then the wistle sends them into charge, they battle cry, attacking the enemy, wanting to push it back over the sea that they came from. One of the finest superevents IMHO.

[flapjack]

The difference between High legitimacy and low legitimacy feels so distinct from each other. One gives a sense of vigor and hope. While the latter really drives the feeling of senseless death and despair for both sides.
Even the quotes of Mao and Chang drive the point home so goddamn well. I just think this is a perfect super event.

0:00 Border of Manchuria; music starts in the background

0:09 A Japanese soldier wanders out of his tent. He squints, half-drunk, wondering where the hell that music is coming from. He notices a few columns of smoke in the hills. Exercises? Here?

0:27 In time with the music, artillery shells explode closer and closer to him. He dives for cover over some sandbags.

0:31 Shells pound around him. Planes roar overhead flying the White Sun flag.

0:36 A whistle pierces the air and a thousand lion hurrahs answers it in a single voice. The Japanese soldier jumps out from the sandbags to see Chinese soldiers pouring out from the hills like a burst geyser, bayonets at the ready.

0:40 His eyes shoot wide. He desperately scrambles for his rifle as they storm into the camp.

0:27
"China is a sleeping giant.
Let China Sleep.
For when she wakes,
She will shake the world”

[pashauzan]

*1 billion men casually marches to Japan*

[Bread-nxfo]

Picture the masses of soldiers marching into Beijing after liberating China, with millions of people cheering them on as they begin the reconquest of Inner Mongolia and Manchuria.

“We carry through until the very end.”

[johnhiponia]

"In China, two suns - One White and One Red - stand on the brink of perhaps the greatest conflict since the end of the War. Gao Zongwu, prime minister of the Republic of China, spoke from Nanjing earlier today calling for a renewed fight against their Japanese overlords. Reports are flooding in from CBS Correspondents that tank columns have begun to amass on the ports of Tokyo, Osaka, and Nagasaki. Washington has declined to comment on these events at this time, but the world holds its breath for whether the Middle Kingdom will stand ascendant in a new Asian order or remain trapped under the Kenpeitai rule of old." - Walter Cronkite, CBS Evening News, 1974

[seatray_real]

My theory for why the devs used March of Volunteers for high legitimacy and ROC anthem for low legitimacy'

It seems like high legitimacy GAW is perceived by the broader international community as a fight of the entire Chinese nation against Co-Prosperity Sphere, thus the populist-sounding anthem, but low legitimacy is perceived more as the Kuomintang fighting Kuomintang in a civil war of one government against another

The People's War of China against Japan in TNO, indeed.
