The history we never know - imperial to warlord

May start a small short series , and write some missing episode on Vietnam and world war 2.

Imperial Qing of the late was mostly view as weak and always loosing war and giving way territory. But from some drama series even the puppet emperor is very eager to reform, even got lock up due to some aggressive stance. And few minister are actually quite modern and efficient. Built a whole fleet of modern navy woth moredern warship, actually bigger in size than the japs. And the steel production factory are actually producing steel, of what quality  dun know. But producing real steel for modern rail road. And much of the modernization is actually carried out in the hand of the real power Empress, not really too evil as the Hong Kong drama always potray as.

It's not really Republic also with Dr Sun temporary as president for a while. A general yuan with real miliatary strength was in power then, but not too long. It then some time of " smaller" warlord, until another General came into the big Scene. not too long also, as the ww2 Japanese invasion and some civil war then. Quite confusing for new beginner, but this is the real case. Of course the magnitude and number is much bigger that SG. And somewhat different from the familiar hong hong drama version.

( this are heavier stuff than the " talk show". And may be unfamiliar to many.)

SG is still center of the world for most people here.
