I'd like to call the Shōkaku, unless I missed someone already nabbing it.

Jaluit, and it's amazing mixture of organic matter and wartime chemicals/heavy metals, will be the origin of every postwar creature feature. God, imagine the weird poo poo that would grow if the used it for nuclear tests.

In this timeline, if the Soviets intervene the price would presumably be a Soviet occupation zone in Japan and all of Korea under their thumb.

The Soviets are probably the real winners of all of this, unless the Japanese army in this timeline has the strength to hold them off a lot longer. I'm imagining they end up occupying all of Korea and get a zone in Japan.

RA Rx posted:I don't think they have the fleet for any zone in Japan, and even if they grabbed enough for a tiny beachhead while the US did all the work it would not be worth pissing off Uncle Sam. Ultimately Japan will surrender to America as the Home Isles are being flattened, not over losing colonial possessions, so it's hard for me to see America not getting Japan exclusively (especially to compensate for any large Soviet zone in Asia), and they might even try to demand some influence in Korea and China if there are any Japanese forces left to turn over their bases to whatever the Americans can scrape together of impromptu Nationalist militias. I think you're probably right re: an occupation zone, although I think it'll ultimately depend on how long the war lasts after Soviet intervention and how costly their campaign in China ends up being. Stalin had somewhat wanted to administer the occupation of Hokkaido, but it was a tough sell without possessing it at the war's end or having been in the war longer than a week. A more meaningful soviet contribution changes the situation. This also opens the can of worms of what the American foreign policy outlook is after the war. It does make intuitive sense that we'd have President Dewey in this timeline, but I wonder how strong the Taft wing of the party would be.

After seeing a thing yesterday about how parts of France and Belguim are still toxic from WWI, I'm legitimately curious how hosed the south pacific's ecosystems are at this point.

Grey used the Yamato to trigger the San Andreas fault and sank America.
