I think it is more of a statement by the MK rather than desperation. NS, beware! :D

Like if I wanted to get dragged into a land war in Asia.

I seriously doubt you want to, but just in case you do have some crazy scheme ready... :)

Ouch, I did not expect the stronger of the two combatants to pull off a flooding.

The stronger of the 2 wasn't mobilised, maybe it's a last ditch efford to slow the RRC troops down enough to buy time.
And what would the Forbidden city care about civilians, it was that hidious bunch of Imperial uglies that commanded millions of pesants to trow themselfs on the machineguns of the NS troopers.

I'm surprised the MK did something for the pesants in the flooded area.  In 1938 the Chinese trying to stop the Japanese army didn't.

In 1938 The Chinese couldnt risk warning the Japanese because the Japanese could have possibly done something to stop the Yellow river flooding.  The Japanese were advancing so quickly that the first 2 sites chosen to break the Dykes had already been overrun.
That was desperation...

This looked more like a cold calculated move to impact the Industry, Infrastructure and ability of the RRC to bring up supplies and move them across the Yangtze river.

Is that a modern war ? It's more surely a remake of Saw XXVIII. Is there any tacticians in China's ?

Definitely appears both sides are using "Grant" tactics.

More is coming. I have to assess and think this out so that I can restore the situation. This is about what I expected, considering that the MK had only a few months to get ready. What surprised me was that the flooding was effective at all.

In any event it will be Thursday before I can do a workup.

Yep... sounds like the War Criminal.

But it's making for some nice press, and Dixie foresees a VERY profitable 'cleanup' support operation.

New Switzerland already forgot New Zion ever existed, all this destruction going on...

Who stole the Romanian Schtick!!! *Gunshot*

The MK had a mere three years' notice on any RRC buildup judging from the timing of the half-year reports.

I must say that the numbers are (from Egypt's perspective) staggering.  Entire corps are annihilated.  Egypt couldn't afford to lose even one whole corps in the first month of combat.  (Yes I realize its not the entire corps, but corps-strength losses). 

It's like the Western Front in China, considering how little ground was gained.

200,000 losses on the Republican side, 210,000 losses on the Imperial side.....holy carp!

China's position as a world power is going to be destroyed by this if it keeps up, you know.
