You guys remember that the Socialists lost three Grand Vizers in four years, allowed the son of a war criminal to run rampant in Africa, left Benin and Ibriz to get overrun by our enemies, lost the Suez Canal to Super Russia, ignored the rise of the only communist country, allowed our army and navy to deteriorate, and brought us to the brink of a coup or civil war, right?

I have questions!

Would the imperialists do anything about the sorry state of our army?

What do the socialists plan to do regrading our responsibilities to the colonies in Africa and India?

Does this new liberal democratic Germany have allies yet, and can we hang them out to dry in yet an other European war?

Yes, but they'll mostly focus on rebuilding the colonial armies. Home armies won't get nearly as much attention as they would under anyone else (apart from socialists).

Socialists want to ultimately disengage from India, it's far too distant and (with the outbreak of the uprisings) far too costly to maintain. They definitely want to maintain some hold in Africa, but to uphold their socialist ideals they'll probably grant autonomy to the Khedivate eventually, so long as he doesn't start causing trouble.

They immediately allied with the only other democratic GP - the United Republic, but that's pretty much it. If we ally them and get dragged onto their side in another European war, and then just abandon them, we'll almost certainly end up on the losing side and thus suffer all the normal penalties (Great War Capitulation etc) as well as the more extreme penalties. So simply put, it wouldn't be a good idea to just abandon any allies we have in the Great War.

That's a nice idea, and it's definitely one of the socialists' ideals, but the Khedive has been in power for way too long for him to just surrender it now. If the khedive is going to be toppled, then it can only be through war, which the socialists definitely aren't prepared for.

Nah I paid pretty good attention to how we finally have railroads more modern than the 1860's and rapidly progressed to being only about 35 years behind the rest of the world instead of 80 in terms of social and political development.

I was more referring to the last time we allied a German state and they got stomped by Russia while we stalemated France. Helpful to us but ultimately not great for them.

Ah, I'm not too sure about that then. A united Germany is strong, but nowhere near as strong as an equivalent Germany would've been in vanilla Vic2/OTL, as you might be able to tell by their current population. We'd have to wait and see, I guess.

This is valid, but I like to think that - especially with increased pressure from the Socialists, who actually got poo poo done - they'll be a bit more active about undermining the power of the power-hungry tyrant whom all the fascists love.

That's maybe overly optimistic, admittedly.

Reform-wise, the Socialists have a demonstrable record of doing more in 10 years while under active assault than the Liberals managed to do in 30 with a mostly united government. They gladly sold out any stated principles in exchange for botes and colonial loot over and over, I doubt that's suddenly going to change. If the fascists promised to let them play with botes and rob some brown people they would form a coalition in an instant.

We already built multiple high level forts along mountain passes. We’re definitely going to survive another 10 years with the socialists. The smart imperialist thing to do would be to wait out the Great War and then pounce on them when they’re weak. Why should we step in before our enemies have worn themselves out destroying themselves? Socialism now is the the best strategy for the most amount of imperialist gains over the long run.
