《Ask CH Mongolia!》Question 11-20
Advertisement
1. Why did Soviet force you to kill your own people?
Mongolia: Three reasons:
1.1. Because there was a war going on. Japan's father, Imperial Japan, wanted to seize control of all Asian lands. Because he invaded South, North, Taiwan, and China, he tried to conquer me! But I had Soviet protect me and together we drew him away. While he was out fighting somewhere else, he left a puppet state called Manchukuo. Man, that guy was a jerk. Soviet feared if Empire Japan did take over me, Japan's father might have attacked him through me, so he thought if he allied with me first, then I might aid his cause. He assumed there might be a Japanese spy in my homeland and I took immense security measures by executing all monks and Buddhists. Better safe than sorry.
1.2. Purification and Adaption are another reason. China introduced his religion to inner Mongolia and then it spread through what I used to be called, "Outer Mongolia." Soviet found religions... Distracting, and I might weaken myself with pointless beliefs. So he had me cease and punish every Buddhist worshipper in my land in order to prevent having religion. To which it worked in some way.
1.3. Stalinist repressions. Soviet, under the nominal direction of my de facto leader, persecuted thousands of individuals and organizations perceived as threats to my revolution and his growing influence in the country. His methods of repression included torture, show trials, executions, and imprisonment in remote forced labor camps, often in Soviet gulags. Many people who were shown as threats to the revolution were executed.
2. What made you declare independence during the Qing rule?
Mongolia: The currency consisted of units of livestock, as well as tea bricks, small silver ingots, and some foreign coins. When the officials and nobility got into debt, they would increase their taxes in kind on the population. As a result, many of my people were impoverished and occasionally rebellious, despite the risk of terrible punishment at the hands of the Qing authorities, who had built fortified administrative centers and garrison towns to control my regions. Despite the collapse of Qing, China still declared me as "his." Soviet pulled a lot of strings to make him understand, he even threatened him to abandon support from Japanese protection.

3. What is your favorite sport?
Mongolia: Volleyball and Basketball are my favorite sports. literally, every street has a basketball court.
4. In this new book "The Archer and the Dragon" Why was Mongolia exiled?
Mongolia: He was exiled because he saved a dragon which was the number one forbidden rule in the Azi kingdom... Actually, pretty much everywhere.
5. North Korea and China were also partners of Soviet, did you ever get along with them?
Mongolia: China was more or less a hassle to get along with. Seriously, that guy just can't get a grip. I have this feeling as if he was obsessed with me. North Korea was one obedient fella, he would follow every command, and he certainly has some soft spot for obeying his comrades... Like me and China for example.
6. What are your thoughts on Imperial Japan?
Mongolia: Never really thought much about him. He did try to attack me though, I don't know what I would've done without Soviet's aid. Then again... We fought for China too.
7. Do you have siblings?
Mongolia: All of my older siblings are long gone... But their history is not forgotten. Though I still have my younger ones, and I must be responsible for all of them. I'm the only one they look up to know. Did I ever mention I had 21 relatives?
8. Is your country all about riding horses and using a bow?
Mongolia: I'm sure that's what some people think, and I don't blame them. Most people here just can't get with the time, I'm proud of the ones who can though. History is changing, and technology is improving if I were to catch up. Some people are partially more disconnected from society, they have no idea what a phone and the internet are.

9. Do you herd sheep and cows?
Mongolia: I do! In contrast to human population, there is over 70 million livestock comprising 32.3 million sheep, 29.3 million goats, 4.7 million cattle, 4.2 million horses, and 0.5 million camels. That's like 21 times more than the number of people here.
10. Are you mad at Japan because you lost the battle after you blew away by a hurricane?
Mongolia: Well, I was so little back then, but my father wasn't the one who planned the invasion of Japan. If nature doesn't allow us to conquer Japan, then it wasn't meant to be.

On the Road to Elspar (Book 1)
The year is 1329. The Huntress' War has entered its tenth year, inflaming competing nationalisms and pitting the Confederacy of Caldrein against one of the continent's superpowers, the Tenereian Union. Desperately outnumbered, the Confederacy has relied on the prowess of its famed Caldran mercenaries, with highly-trained and experienced warbands returning from foreign conflicts to the defense of their homeland, and it is on their backs that Caldrein has successfully mounted a valiant defense for a decade. But they are losing, and day by day, with all the grace of a sledgehammer, the vast Tenereian armies take one more bit of Caldran territory, one footstep at a time. Sixteen-year-old Neianne from the village of Caelon has submitted herself to Faulkren Academy, one of the centuries-old institutions established to train the next generation of Caldrein's elite soldiers of fortune, to learn the ways of wars for three years before embarking upon the defense of her country. Her dryad family once hailed from reclusive woodland communes isolated from Caldrein's complicated mainstream society, and her upbringing leaves the shy village girl unprepared to suddenly train alongside other apprentices from backgrounds as low as the dirty slums of Caldrein's cities and as high as the halls of aristocratic power. Yet the war is eroding the norms and traditions that the Caldran people have long considered part of their national mythos, and the tensions within the confederacy that have long simmered under the surface - race, class, community, identity - are slowly but surely dividing its people, and Neianne must grow and discover who she really is, even as the war that she is steadfastly training for comes to its inexorable end... On the Road to Elspar is a fantasy quest - a work of interactive fiction wherein readers get to vote on what happens next at critical junctures - that is the first entry in a story that follows Neianne of Caelon, which first began on July 20, 2016. Originally a three-part in medias res prologue to a larger story titled On the Elsparian Road, it was eventually decided that this section - which covers Neianne's three years at Faulkren Academy - become its own independent story due to length, structural, and accessibility reasons. Despite this being a reader interactive work of fiction, due to logistical and verification concerns, voting will only be counted on its thread on the forum Sufficient Velocity, where this story originally began. As such, the content here on Royal Road serves as a story-only archive. You are, of course, entirely welcome to enjoy On the Road to Elspar as a conventional work of fiction, just as you are welcome to comment, discuss, and provide critique. But if you would like to participate in the voting, then I would be honored to welcome you on Sufficient Velocity. To facilitate accessibility and to ensure the best reading experience, this story-only version of On the Road to Elspar will be updated at a periodic pace, even though further content exists, so as to not overwhelm new readers on Royal Road. If you enjoy this story, wish to binge it, and/or want to participate in voting immediately, you may of course read all additional content via the link provided above. This paragraph will be removed once the content on Royal Road catches up with what has already been posted in its original thread. Cover artwork by DreamSyndd.
