    Next line:

    While leading the 39th Army Group of the National Revolutionary Army, he planned to defect to the Japanese, but before he could do so he was kidnapped and buried alive by his sworn brother and subordinate Gao Shuxun, who later gained command of Shi’s unit.

        Being buried alive, piranhas, quicksand, “stop drop and roll”, the Bermuda Triangle - all things I feared growing up and thought would be more relevant.

        Before the end of WWII, Japan was not well regarded in Asia, they were warlords and colonists pillaging the mainland whenever they could for centuries.

          It’s a bit more specific than that. These were all Chinese warlords that ended up (mostly) banding together against the Japanese invasion of China in 1937 that was, imo, the actual start of WW2.

          The atrocities commited during the invasion can not be understated. Bro was just playing the game beforehand, that was a step too far for anyone with a soul.

        According to this Lemmy thread, he actually got caught and buried alive by his sworn brother at the end, because 6 betrayals is one thing but 7 is another, I guess.

        (And also, it was the fascist Japanese)

    TBF, that was a fighting between warlords period. The people he betrayed were no more loyal than him.

    Feng Yuxiang betrayed Wu Peifu, following Zhang Xueliang’s advice. Zhang later surrendered to Chiang Kai-Shek himself. So it was basically everyone trying to grab any opportunity.

A community for your defence shitposting needs

Rules

1. Be nice

Do not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.

2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes

If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a “credible” source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it’s non-credible. Low-hanging fruit such as random Twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Matrix chat.

3. Content must be relevant

Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.

4. No racism / hatespeech

No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.

5. No politics

We don’t care if you’re Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.

6. No seriousposting

We don’t want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.

7. No classified material

Classified ‘western’ information is off limits regardless of how “open source” and “easy to find” it is.

8. Source artwork

If you use somebody’s art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art’s source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.

9. No low-effort posts

No egregiously low effort posts. E.g. screenshots, recent reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Matrix chat instead.

10. Don't get us banned

No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a “haha people that I hate died… haha” punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.

11. No misinformation

NCD exists to make fun of misinformation, not to spread it. Make outlandish claims, but if your take doesn’t show signs of satire or exaggeration it will be removed. Misleading content may result in a ban. Regardless of source, don’t post obvious propaganda or fake news. Double-check facts and don’t be an idiot.
