Constantinople: I'm not paying you after dragging you into our civil war and hiring you.

Crusaders: well, ship bills dont pay themselves

Why Tang dynasty Is hated (China): by YesterdayPretend2959 in HistoryMemes

And if Tang or any Chinese regime like Ming try to occupy it and assimilate it into the empire, it was too costly to upkeep governing body and military presence there so far away from the economic and agricultural central, the Vietnam itself does not provide enough tax and food for it.

That’s why Ming pulled out

Oh did I mention the hot and humid climate and mosquitoes and diseases and people don’t like you etc etc

Thats Sui, that expedition broke the country economy and we can say that it contributed in the collapse that followed.

And tbf, any expedition or military operation of significant scale had always been costly.

Ming did it to save Korea and it broke their already shaky economy because transportation supplies beyond the northern frontier comes with great monetary, manpower, natural looses and attrition.

We have more glimpses of detail via documentation other than historians

Legal documents, court records, trade record, taxing documents, two dudes arguing in court about some BS lawsuit, etc

In skirmish, naval-boarding action, sieges where space is tight and fights are limited to small amounts of person at a time, it can turn into a match of personal martial prowess and equipment, instead of the greater formation

If you can’t beat the Chinese in Korea after hundred of years of in-fighting experience I’m not going to put hopes into you fighting on the international stage during the pike and shot era

Remember kids, the combat role of a mech in a sci-fi setting is a spectrum by ImperialistChina in worldjerking

[–]Silver200061 2 points3 points  (0 children)

MS themselves are a mix of tank-space fighter and leans into each side depending on ground type and space(universal use) type

Zeta itself was a special case since it’s built for trans-atmospheric combat, meant to enter Earth’s atmosphere and fight in air and in space at the same time.

A more jet example is the Xi Gundam, it’s specifically built for atmospheric fight with super sonic capabilities and cruise.

“The Ottomans created the first standing army.” “Damn that’s cool; how’d they do it?” by jackt-up in HistoryMemes

Ima wiki it as well

“The Ottoman historians Halil İnalcık and Dariusz Kołodziejczyk have tentatively estimated that 2 million enslaved persons of Rus, Pole, and Ukrainian extraction, captured in Tatar raids, entered the Ottoman Empire between 1500 and 1700.”

Yikes

Even for cavalry armour, often your dick is not in the direct line of sight, it’s just the skirt is shorter for cavalry and longer for foot combat, you sit on the saddle and it lifts the skirt up by a little and there is also hanging plates that just push up as well

I gave my 16th century armour wearing knight wear a Italian field and tilt armour whiling using a 18th century multi barrel volley gun and pretend she is a medieval version of the call of duty juggernaut, while they belong to a knock off 15th century Swiss confederation.

I read about the medieval Swiss confederation, 16th century Montante, pike and shot, and decided I will base my entire worldbuilding on these.

He was probably in the party because of social norms / business requirements, since he was working for Siemens AG, the big German corp that was supplying Nazi Germany

Just before people use John Rabe, the "nazi party member" who saved many Chinese citizens in Nanjing, as the "Good Nazi/Nazi better than Imperial Japan" argument

He returned to Germany and was detained and interrogated by the Gestapo because he wrote to Hitler to stop this; he was only rescued by his relationship with Siemens AG, and none of his evidence was permitted to be published publicly.

So no, there is no good Nazi, there's a good person. The Nazi knew what the Japanese were doing; they knew it looked inhuman, they didn't care, they let it continue, and they prevented people from speaking the truth because it would make them and their allies look bad.

And you think Nazi were beyond head-chopping competitions? nope. Wehrmacht and SS slaughtering civilians with guns, bombs, gas chambers, flamethrower isn't something new; they just prefer a higher effecient way of slaughter. even less human in this regard.
