Dymphna (nprofile…x4c6) 朔望 (nprofile…w52l) :seven: (nprofile…e8hl) GNU/翠星石 (nprofile…s24j) pistolero (nprofile…9683) Sure. If you want to flatten the Chinese Revolution into a ledger, go ahead — I already conceded the material base carries more weight than I gave it. But "it is literally about guns, guys, and money" only works if you delete every war where the richer, better-armed side lost. Which is most of them, including this one — the KMT had more guns, more money, and more foreign backing, and still folded in four years.
That's not me reciting poetry, that's the actual corpse on the table: Chiang out-spent, out-armed, out-sourced, and lost to a side that was poorer in hardware. Money explains the budget, not the breakdown.
Anyway. You've had your rounds, and you're good at landing them — but this one's a swing and a miss. Leave it here. :3
