Congrats Myth! It seems only a matter of time before the Japanese are fully defeated.
What's next? You still have a lot of (game-)time to set new goals.

Hey! It sounds good!

Superb going again. Though I imagine the islands will be irritating, as someone has already said.
Ah, Tokyo has fallen! That means its time for Yuunan to give in and join with China proper.
Li Jishen laughed. Japan was on its knees, though not begging for mercy. Shrugging, Li Jishen supposed that was one pleasure that would be denied to him, though it was then finally completely and utterly certain that Japan would fall. After all, their navy had suddenly become impotent when their one of their greatest chances at inflicting damage presented itself.
Partially, this was due to the impossible Japanese priorities. When Li Jishen and Bai Chongxi were beginning to set in motion a plan to neutralize the Japanese fleet, they themselves aided the Chinese cause by sending important carriers, if only escort carriers—rather, one escort carrier—to strike at unimportant targets such as the mass of unused transports harboring in Qingdao.
Japanese priorities are impossible to understand.
This plan that Bai Chongxi masterminded with Li Jishen’s approval was essentially the Chinese naval hammer blow against the Japanese fleet. All destroyers then based in Japan, a force that summed at thirty one individual squadrons, would make its way into the Inland Sea. There, the combined Chinese fleets would prevent the Japanese in Osaka from withdrawing onto Shikoku and, hopefully, draw the entire rest of the Japanese navy to them. On the voyage to the Inland Sea, however, a minor Japanese fleet was intercepted and driven off with no loss, though Japanese naval bombers quickly showed up and bombed the destroyers as well as many transports, sinking two full squadrons of transports. These were, however, fortunately empty.
A minor scuffle in the Tokyo Bay, which had the unfortunate effect of drawing over one hundred Japanese naval bombers in three squadrons to the scene.
Bai Chongxi’s gamble paid off. The strait between Osaka and Shikoku was closed and a goodly portion of the Japanese fleet moved to engage the Chinese naval assets, to no effect. At the same time, Li Jishen ordered the attack on Osaka commence with fifteen divisions on two axes—his and Fu Zuoyi’s combined staffs could indeed just handle this. The attack was a success, again as the majority of the Japanese divisions were only of fortress quality. Those that were mobile withdrew into the ring of steel that surrounded Hiroshima, and the newest Japanese capital, on Shikoku, was left invitingly open.
The successful attack on Osaka.
Li Jishen gave the honor of taking Shikoku to Li Zongren, whose corps had suffered so heavily on its beaches in January. Li Jishen smiled, it was an almost surreal sight to see transports disgorging infantrymen onto Shikoku’s undefended shores as what was supposed to be a naval battle raged on in the background. Shikoku fell, and the Japanese fleets that were sheltering in its harbor fled out to join in the fray on the Inland Sea.
The second, unopposed assault on Shikoku.
By this time, the battle of the Inland Sea had grown to somewhat epic proportions. Yan Xishan’s destroyer fleets, by then numbering twenty-eight squadrons due to some minor Japanese air interference, had bottled up some seventy-three Japanese capital ships and screen ship squadrons. With the Japanese fleets off Hainan still successfully held back, the entire Japanese navy was neutralized completely.
The largest naval battle yet recorded, at least in the East.
With the Japanese fleet thus made impotent, Li Zongren was returned to Osaka and Golukjin was sent off into the Pacific to claim Japan’s most important islands for China. He had landed at Iwo Jima and at Saipan thus far, both landing unopposed. It appeared that the garrisons of both islands had been present at Tokyo, and Golukjin was sure that the other island garrisons had met with similar fates.
The assaults on Iwo Jima and Saipan.
On the technological front, China was also doing well. Zhili Gongyi Zongju completed their work on agricultural production and a contract was awarded to Academia Sinica to improve their computing machines. Chen Jitang also developed his early hospital system, but did not go on to develop a basic hospital system, that was left to Xibei Military & Engineering School. The Kaiping Coal Mine finally completed their final round of advancements on construction engineering and began developing a technique of production control.
Many important technologies were completed and began being developed.
