I might not expend my ships and men, tbh. Logistical nightmare. I'll probably fund the Dutch though.

[Democratic East-Asia]

If any of the major powers went after you, I really doubt you'd make it out half alive.

China will go to extreme measures to ensure it survives...

[Nusaresa]

Britannia exists and we like them very much? Well at least better than the Dutch. Anything but the Dutch.

Keeping both Is preferable.

The Britannians won't stand for a communist uprising in the DEI. At least one that is started by the much less than favorable Chinese communists.

Communism, degeneracy, and threats to western supremacy (goddamned commie Spain) are more important issues at the moment.

I fit all three. You wanna fight? Come at me bro.

Don't push your luck. Because if shit really hits the fan, someone closer will send hell your way.

[Ashkera]

Alright, so what do I have to gain from either side of this global war that seems to be coming soon?

Well, seeing as you actually have an elected government in Rio de la Plata, you should probably side with either the Chinese, the Americans, or the Australasians.

The Chinese Communists are too hyped about fighting and don't plan to use subterfuge, which will probably draw in all the EuroMonarchs at once. This leaves VOID's Americans, or the Australasians, both of which have plenty of money. And I'm not sure if VOID will be sneaky, but we definitely plan to be.

If you're commie. Nothing. If you side with us or remain neutral like what Britannia should do, then you get access to the Indian Ocean.

And become a husk of its former self.

Actually we do. We have other plans. Big Brain factors into this.

Unfortunately.

True.

They have Visegard (Singapore) which Darul Ridzuan relies on for extra trade and sworn to protect.

A communist Malaya (due to any mishaps or inability to defend by the Dutch) would destroy that. And communists controlling the Strait of Malacca is a big no no in my book~

In fact the partition of the DEI is a great service to the European powers, as it can be used as an even better springboard. Because if the Dutch so much as either a) pull out of the region due to communists overwhelming them or b) refuse to cooperate and initiate wars in Europe, you're good as locked from Asia. And idek what Britannia is doing but they're pretty neutral so far, and they like Japan as well. An open springboard to the east is better than one that can be shut down due to petty nationalism or the red menace.

After all, support for the Dutch in the DEI is support of bad theology (Calvinism), degeneracy of the western sort, and communism~

So basically the Dutch are screwed?

From the practical standpoint, yes. Besides we'd like to help in getting China out of the picture since they kinda scare us. Getting rid of a potential obstacle is the first step.

And what if we close the Strait of Malacca? Well, that's not happening so long as the Britannians are right next door, and our trade relies on it.

Why would the Dutch refuse cooperation? They have no reason to. It doesn't even have to benefit other European powers, it needs to benefit me; at the moment the Netherlands and I are in good relations. The more nations in that area, the better.

Well this is a predicament.

The only issue is that private institutions in Darul Ridzuan are to fund Jochi's war. With the added possibility of some of our citizens fighting alongside the Caliphate. That is on them.

Officially (and hopefully throughout the conflict) we'd send neutral personnel such as medics to treat the war wounded as well as aid supplies to potential refugees or internally displaced people.

That being said, we're the lesser and much more negotiable and business friendly evil at the end of the day.

Anything can happen on the stage of global politics. I'm particularly worried of what hell may be raised by Britannia.

Stay on your toes, that is all.

Besides I can give access to China at an even better price

We will always be around comrade. 1.1 billion Chinese aren't going anywhere.

Darul Ridzuan, Australia, and possibly Japan (Dagashi where r u) are the vaccines to communism in Asia (at least that one part that is currently a swing zone that can swing into communism).

hah

Not at all. They are a thorn and an obstacle. A wild card of the region.

You can stop travel west through blocking parts of Australasia, but the vast sea of the Pacific lies to the east, and there, the Americas. You can have Asia stay in Asia, or have Asia leave Asia. One is more convenient in the long-term and less likely to result in an anti-euromonarchist bloc setup around VOID's ultrasecular United American Federation.

Death to the euromonarchists. Chinese self sufficiency allows us to survive without you all.
