We will accept a slow, steady industrialization, but should you use your power to attempt anything beyond that, such as a rapid economic change, or the formation of a military, we will not hesitate to use our economic clout to eliminate your government's source of revenue in a coup.
We do not wish there to be confrontations. But nonetheless, if you take actions that may threaten our economic and political security in the region in any way, we will take preventative action.
Let us ber clear any attempt to attack us will be met with overwhelming force, you have no economic clout here. We make far more money than you do. And our military dwarfs yours. In response to your nations threat the Ruivan military is ordering a partial moblization.
The ruivan empire is much more more powerful than Uieurnthlaal. But 1930's China is much less powerful than 1930's Japan. Remember, you are the sick man of Asia, with a terrible economy, and economically divided under the spheres of influences of various European influences. Your weak leaders have little clout. It's the foreign powers who call the shots in your country.
You might forget that, knowing 21st century China, but now in the 30's, the Chinese government is extremely weak and ineffective, a situation which is unlikely to change until an external force drives off foreign colonizers.
