'Saint Patrick was Bishop of Prusa, a city in Bythinia (the present-day Brusa or Bursa). Because of his Christian faith, he was brought before Julius (or Julian) the Consul, who in his attempts to persuade Patrick to worship as he himself did, declared that thanks was owed to the gods for providing the hot springs welling up from the earth for the benefit of men. Saint Patrick answered that thanks for this was owed to our Lord Jesus Christ, and explained that when He, Who is God, created the earth, He made it with both fire and water, and the fire under the earth heats the water which wells up, producing hot springs; he then explained that there is another fire, which awaits the ungodly. Because of this, he was cast into the hot springs, but it was the soldiers who cast him in, and not he, who were harmed by the hot water. After this St Patrick was beheaded with the presbyters Acacius, Menander, and Polyaenus. Most likely this was during the reign of Diocletian (284-305).' (Great Horologion)

1. Barry Strauss introduces the power struggle following Julius Caesar's death between Mark Antony and Octavian. Antony, a noble consul and seasoned lieutenant, initially holds a superior social position. Octavian, Caesar's younger great-nephew, is viewed as less of a warrior but possesses extreme ambition and cunning. Using sources like Plutarch and Cassius Dio, Strauss describes the Second Triumvirate's efforts to punish Caesar's assassins at the Battle of Philippi. Although Antony is the hero of that victory, the "Machiavellian" Octavian begins a political game to eventually transform the Roman Republic into an Empire. (1)

Gros zoom sur les skills et leurs usages dans les coding agents, sur les benchmarks de stacks techniques MCP, mais aussi du Java 26-27, du HttpClient, du NodeJS, des scenarios nucléaires pilotés par l'IA, de la méthodologie, bref on ne s'ennuie pas ! Enregistré le 15 mars 2026 Téléchargement de l'épisode LesCastCodeurs-Episode-338.mp3 ou en vidéo sur YouTube. News Langages Bruno Borges a créé un site, inspiré d'un site récent qui montrait comment CSS avait évolué, qui illustre justement comment Java a bien évolué au fil du temps, et est devenu un langage encore plus élégant https://javaevolved.github.io/ Code simplifié: main() allégé, var, blocs de texte, API String enrichie. Pattern Matching: switch sur types, instanceof amélioré, record patterns. Données: Records, collections immuables faciles à créer, méthodes de listes. Concurrence: Threads virtuels, CompletableFuture, StructuredTaskScope, ScopedValue. Erreurs & Sécurité: NPE précis, catch multiples, Optional amélioré, filtres de désérialisation. I/O & Réseau: HttpClient moderne, E/S fichiers/console simplifiées, transferTo. Dates & Heures: API modernisée, précise, immutables et thread-safe. Langage: Interfaces sealed/private, import de modules, Math.clamp Streams: Nouveaux opérateurs (takeWhile, mapMulti, Gatherers, teeing). Outils & Perf: jshell, exécution simplifiée, jwebserver, AOT, JFR, optimisation mémoire. 10+ raisons de ne pas utiliser le HttpClient du JDK, avec un article très détaillé de Brice Dutheil https://blog.arkey.fr/2026/02/08/ten-reasons-to-not-use-jdk-httpclient/ JDK HttpClient: intégré, non-upgradable. OkHttp: plus lourd (dépendance Kotlin). TLS/SSL: JDK: SSLContext limité, vérif hôte globale, épinglage manuel, SSLParameters rigides. OkHttp: contrôle fin (SSLSocketFactory/TrustManager), vérif hôte/épinglage dédiés, ConnectionSpec structuré. Connexions: JDK: pas de repli, fabrique socket custom impossible (pas UDS/Named Pipes direct), pool limité (propriétés système, contrôle pauvre avant JDK 20/21). OkHttp: repli automatique, fabrique custom, pool granulaire. Réseau: JDK: résolveur DNS par défaut, Authenticator unique. OkHttp: résolveur DNS custom, authentificateurs séparés (proxy/serveur). Cycle Requêtes: JDK: pas d'intercepteurs ni API événements intégrés. OkHttp: addInterceptor, EventListener pour événements granulaires. Ressources: JDK: pas d'arrêt propre avant JDK 21. OkHttp: arrêt granulaire (pool, exécuteur, cache). Timeout: JDK: désactivé après en-têtes; le transfert du corps peut dépasser le timeout initial. JDK 26 et JDK 27 : ce qui nous attend — https://www.infoq.com/news/2026/02/java-26-so-far/ JDK 26 est une version non-LTS prévue le 17 mars 2026, avec 10 nouvelles fonctionnalités réparties en 5 catégories Le support HTTP/3 arrive enfin dans l'API HTTP Client standard de Java (JEP 517) La Structured Concurrency (projet Loom) en est à sa 6e preview, avec l'ajout d'une méthode onTimeout() sur StructuredTaskScope.Joiner Les Lazy Constants passent en 2e preview : des constantes initialisées à la demande, utiles pour optimiser le démarrage Le G1 GC gagne en performance via une réduction des synchronisations entre threads applicatifs et threads GC (JEP 522) Le cache d'objets AOT (JEP 516) est étendu pour fonctionner avec n'importe quel GC, y compris ZGC L'API Applet est définitivement supprimée (JEP 504), fermant une page historique de Java L'encodage PEM des objets cryptographiques continue sa preview avec support de chiffrement/déchiffrement de KeyPair Pour JDK 27 (septembre 2026), l'échange de clés post-quantique hybride pour TLS 1.3 est déjà ciblé (JEP 527) Project Valhalla progresse avec une preview des Value Classes : objets sans identité, à champs final uniquement Librairies Une étude de performance montre que Java est un super choix pour développer des serveurs MCP https://www.tmdevlab.com/mcp-server-performance-benchmark.html Comparaison de performances de serveurs MCP (Model Context Protocol) en Java, Go, Node.js, Python. Méthodologie: 3,9 millions requêtes, environnement Docker (1 cœur CPU, 1 Go RAM/serveur). Fiabilité: 0% d'erreurs pour toutes les implémentations. Tiers de performance: 1 (Haute): Go & Java (latence < 1ms, ~1600 requêtes/s). ▪︎ Go: Efficacité mémoire exceptionnelle (18 Mo vs 220 Mo pour Java). ▪︎ Java: Latence marginalement meilleure, mais 12x plus de mémoire. 2 (Moyenne): Node.js (latence ~10,7 ms, ~560 requêtes/s). Surcharge par instanciation. 3 (Faible): Python (latence ~26,5 ms, ~290 requêtes/s). Limité par GIL. Recommandations production: Go: Optimal forte charge, cloud-native, optimisation coûts. Java: Latence très basse critique, infrastructure Java existante. Node.js & Python: Adaptés charges modérées/faibles, développement/test. Node.js et Python peuvent être optimisés pour améliorer leurs performances en production. Et encore, en Java, le benchmark n'a pas utilisé GraalVM pour une compilation native, ce qui aurait donné des chiffres côté mémoire qui aurait concurrencé Go Qui a la meilleure perf entre Quarkus et Spring pour faire des serveurs MCP ? https://medium.com/@egekaraosmanoglu/spring-boot-vs-quarkus-which-java-runtime-wins-the-ai-mcp-tools-performance-battle-4da9d6a248d5 Quarkus JVM: Débit et latence les plus élevés (jusqu'à 16 381 req/s, 65% plus rapide que Spring Boot), surpasse Spring Boot même avec Apache Camel. Quarkus Native: Consommation mémoire la plus faible (118 MB), démarrage instantané, performance prédictible. Spring Boot MVC: Bonnes performances, écosystème mature, nécessite un "warm-up" important (jusqu'à 44% de gain). Spring Boot WebFlux: Légèrement meilleur débit et latence que MVC (~5%), mais plus de mémoire et complexité réactive. Coût architectural: MapStruct: Impact négligeable (< ±5%). Apache Camel: Réduction de débit de 8-21%, mais valeur ajoutée significative; Quarkus JVM + Camel reste > Spring Boot baseline. Protocole MCP: Sur Quarkus JVM (avec Camel), surpasse gRPC. Recommandations: Débit max: Quarkus JVM. Coût/Serverless: Quarkus Native. Intégration d'entreprise: Quarkus JVM + Camel + MapStruct. Meilleur choix Spring: Spring Boot WebFlux + MapStruct. Benchmark des stacks qui implémentent MCP https://www.tmdevlab.com/mcp-server-performance-benchmark-v2.html MCP (Model Context Protocol) est le protocole d'Anthropic pour connecter les LLMs à des outils et sources de données externes ; ce benchmark compare 15 implémentations serveur. 39,9 millions de requêtes traitées avec zéro erreur, sur des charges I/O réalistes (Redis + HTTP API) plutôt que des tâches CPU synthétiques. Rust atteint 4 845 RPS avec seulement 10,9 Mo de RAM ; Quarkus obtient 4 739 RPS avec la meilleure latence (4,04 ms en moyenne, 8,13 ms au P95). Go (3 616 RPS) et Spring MVC (3 540 RPS) constituent un second groupe solide. Node.js plafonne à 423 RPS ; Bun est 2,2x plus rapide sur un code identique (876 RPS) ; Python atteint 259 RPS avec 4 workers et uvloop. Découverte notable : un bug dans le SDK Rust rmcp v0.16 ajoutait ~40 ms de latence à toutes les réponses HTTP, limitant le débit à 1 283 RPS ; corrigé en v0.17 via la PR #683. Les images natives GraalVM réduisent la mémoire de 27 à 81 % mais dégradent le débit de 20 à 36 % ; Quarkus-native est l'exception avec 36 Mo RAM et 3 449 RPS. Spring MVC (bloquant) surpasse WebFlux (réactif) à 50 utilisateurs simultanés, rappelant que le modèle réactif n'est pas toujours gagnant. Recommandations : Rust ou Quarkus pour la production haute charge, Go pour le cloud-native, Bun plutôt que Node.js en JavaScript. Jakarta EE 12 Milestone 2 : données, cohérence et configuration https://www.infoq.com/articles/jakartaee-12-milestone-2/ Jakarta EE est la plateforme Java entreprise open-source, socle de frameworks comme Quarkus et Spring, qui standardise les APIs pour la persistance, les transactions, la sécurité, etc. Jakarta EE 12 adopte Java 21 comme baseline (avec support Java 25) et supprime définitivement le SecurityManager déprécié. La nouvelle spec Jakarta Query unifie JPQL (SQL/relationnel) et JDQL (NoSQL) en un seul langage avec deux profils : Core Language (portable) et Persistence Language (relationnel). Jakarta Data 1.1 introduit les requêtes dynamiques via une API fluente avec Restriction et l'annotation @Is pour des conditions plus expressives. Jakarta Data supporte désormais les repositories stateful, permettant la gestion du cycle de vie des entités (persist, merge, detach, refresh) comme en JPA classique. Jakarta NoSQL 1.1 intègre Jakarta Query via une nouvelle interface Query et supporte les projections avec des Java records. Jakarta Persistence 4.0 supporte SequencedCollection (Java 21) comme type de collection dans les entités. Une nouvelle spec Jakarta Agentic AI est en cours, visant des APIs vendor-neutral pour construire des agents IA sur les runtimes Jakarta EE, avec intégration prévue de LangChain4j et Spring AI. Cette release est encore un milestone (pas pour la prod) — l'adoption large dépendra de la maturité des outils (IDE, validation de requêtes, diagnostics). Nouveaux benchmarks Quarkus vs Spring Boot : performance complète et transparente https://quarkus.io/blog/new-benchmarks/ Quarkus est un framework Java optimisé pour les conteneurs, connu pour son faible usage mémoire et son démarrage rapide, concurrent principal de Spring Boot. Les anciens graphiques de performance sur quarkus.io étaient obsolètes, sans date, sans source, et ne montraient pas le débit (throughput). L'absence de données sur le throughput faisait croire à tort que Quarkus avait de mauvaises performances à ce niveau. Un nouveau benchmark open source a été créé, transparent et reproductible, disponible sur GitHub. Résultats : Quarkus gère 2,7x plus de transactions par seconde que Spring Boot, démarre 2,3x plus vite, avec deux fois moins de mémoire. Des experts Spring Boot externes ont contribué à rendre la comparaison plus équitable, notamment sur la configuration des pools de connexions. Les threads virtuels améliorent le débit d'environ 6000 tps supplémentaires pour tous les frameworks testés. Spring Boot 4 offre un meilleur débit que Spring Boot 3, mais au prix d'un démarrage plus lent et d'une empreinte mémoire plus élevée. En mode natif (GraalVM), le démarrage est ultra-rapide mais le throughput est divisé par deux, pour Quarkus comme pour Spring Boot. Le mode natif n'est recommandé que pour les applis démarrées/arrêtées très fréquemment ou à faible charge. Quarkus 3.32 : fondations pour la prochaine LTS https://quarkus.io/blog/quarkus-3-32-released/ Quarkus est un framework Java cloud-natif optimisé pour GraalVM et HotSpot, conçu pour les microservices et les environnements conteneurisés. Cette version marque le feature freeze pour la prochaine version LTS 3.33. Intégration de Project Leyden (AOT JVM) : le démarrage d'une application REST minimale passe de 370ms à 80ms. L'entraînement Leyden peut se déclencher au build ou via les tests d'intégration. Amélioration du graceful shutdown HTTP, avec des contributions de l'équipe Keycloak. Enregistrement automatique dans Consul via l'extension Stork pour la découverte de services. Nouvelles fonctionnalités de sécurité : DPoP nonce providers personnalisés, support de rich authorization pour OIDC. Possibilité de personnaliser l'ordre des mécanismes d'authentification et ajout de OIDCAuthenticationCompletionAction. Mise à jour du framework Google Cloud Functions en version 2.0, ainsi que Camel Quarkus et Quarkus CXF. Les utilisateurs sur LTS 3.27 sont encouragés à tester la migration vers 3.33 pour faire remonter des retours. NodeJS change sa cadence de releases https://nodejs.org/en/blog/announcements/evolving-the-nodejs-release-schedule Node.js est le runtime JavaScript côté serveur le plus utilisé, géré par la OpenJS Foundation avec un cycle de releases actif depuis la fusion avec io.js il y a dix ans. À partir de Node.js 27 (octobre 2026), le projet passe d'une release majeure tous les six mois à une seule par an. Chaque release deviendra LTS, supprimant la distinction entre versions paires (LTS) et impaires (non-LTS). Un nouveau canal Alpha est introduit, permettant les changements semver-major pendant la phase de test précoce. Les phases deviennent : Alpha (6 mois, oct. à mars), Current (6 mois, avr. à oct.), LTS (30 mois), puis EOL. La durée totale de support reste de 36 mois, identique au modèle actuel. La numérotation des versions s'aligne sur l'année calendaire de la release Current (ex : 27.0.0 en 2027). La version Alpha est signée, taguée et testée via CITGM, mais n'est pas destinée à la production. La motivation principale : les versions impaires étaient peu adoptées, la distinction pair/impair perturbait les débutants, et réduire les lignes de release parallèles allège la charge des bénévoles. Les auteurs de bibliothèques sont encouragés à intégrer les releases Alpha dans leur CI dès que possible pour détecter les régressions en amont. Web jQuery v4 est sorti https://www.infoq.com/news/2026/02/jquery-4-release/?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=calendar jQuery est une bibliothèque JavaScript historique qui simplifie la manipulation du DOM, la gestion des événements et les requêtes AJAX, encore très présente dans de nombreuses bases de code. Cette version majeure sort pour les 20 ans de la bibliothèque, après presque une décennie sans version majeure. Suppression du support d'Internet Explorer 10 et antérieur, Edge Legacy et les anciennes versions iOS/Android. IE11 reste encore supporté dans jQuery 4, mais sa suppression est prévue pour jQuery 5. Le code source migre d'AMD vers les ES modules, pour une meilleure compatibilité avec les outils de build modernes. Le bundler passe de RequireJS à Rollup. Suppression des fonctions dépréciées comme jQuery.isArray, jQuery.parseJSON et jQuery.trim, désormais disponibles nativement en JavaScript. Le fichier gzippé gagne plus de 3 000 octets ; le build slim descend à environ 19,5 ko. Ajout du support des Trusted Types pour faciliter la compatibilité avec les Content Security Policy strictes. jQuery reste pertinent pour la maintenance de bases de code existantes et les projets nécessitant une faible dépendance aux frameworks. La réactivité en frontend : concepts et approches https://www.sfeir.dev/front/quest-ce-que-la-reactivite-en-frontend/ Un article qui resume comment la reactivite est implementee en front web La réactivité en frontend désigne le mécanisme qui permet de mettre à jour automatiquement l'UI quand les données changent, sans manipulation directe du DOM. Sans réactivité, les développeurs doivent mettre à jour manuellement chaque élément de l'interface, ce qui est fastidieux et source d'erreurs. Le data binding unidirectionnel (React) distingue le flux de données des callbacks d'interaction utilisateur. Le data binding bidirectionnel (Angular) synchronise automatiquement données et UI dans les deux sens. Le Virtual DOM (React, Vue) compare une représentation en mémoire avec le DOM réel avant d'appliquer uniquement les changements nécessaires. Les observables via RxJS (Angular) permettent de gérer des flux de données asynchrones et des événements complexes. Les signaux (SolidJS, Angular récent, Svelte) offrent des mises à jour granulaires et de meilleures performances que les approches précédentes. Les signaux proposent une API plus simple que les observables tout en restant très performants. La réactivité abstrait la manipulation du DOM et permet aux développeurs de se concentrer sur l'état de l'application. Data et Intelligence Artificielle Gunnar Morling a annoncé la sortie de Hardwood, un nouveau parseur Java pour les fichiers Apache Parquet, grâce aux leçons apprises par le 1BRC challenge https://www.morling.dev/blog/hardwood-new-parser-for-apache-parquet/ Hardwood : Nouveau parseur Apache Parquet open-source (Java 21+). But : Dépasser parquet-java (dépendances lourdes, lecteur mono-threadé). Points clés : Dépendances minimes, pipeline de décodage multi-threadé. APIs : RowReader (ligne) et ColumnReader (colonne, haute perf.). Optimisations : Parallélisme pages, préchargement adaptatif, moins d'allocations. Développement : Assisté par IA (Claude Code), révision humaine. Futur : "Predicate push-down", compatibilité parquet-java, écriture, CLI, intégration Iceberg. Apicurio Registry passe AI-Native — https://www.apicur.io/blog/2026/02/05/apicurio-registry-ai-natural-evolution Apicurio Registry est un registre open-source de schemas (OpenAPI, AsyncAPI, Avro, Protobuf…) gérant versioning, validation et gouvernance des APIs. Le projet étend ses capacités pour devenir une plateforme native AI, en appliquant les mêmes principes de gouvernance aux agents IA. Support du protocole A2A (Agent-to-Agent) : les agents s'enregistrent via des "Agent Cards" et se découvrent mutuellement via des endpoints standardisés. Un serveur MCP intégré permet aux LLMs d'interagir directement avec le registre (découverte de schémas, validation, création). L'intégration avec Claude Desktop est déjà documentée, permettant de gérer les artefacts en langage naturel. Deux nouveaux types d'artefacts : PROMPT_TEMPLATE (templates de prompts versionnés avec variables) et MODEL_SCHEMA (validation des entrées/sorties des agents). Les SDKs Java (LangChain4j, Quarkus) et Python (LangChain, LlamaIndex) sont disponibles. Une démo multi-agents illustre le "context chaining" : chaque agent reçoit les sorties des agents précédents dans la pipeline. La roadmap prévoit : gestion du cycle de vie des agents, recherche sémantique, intégration dans les pipelines de déploiement. L'Histoire du Deep Learning : quand les machines ont commencé à apprendre https://blog.ippon.fr/2026/02/20/lhistoire-du-deep-learning-quand-les-machines-ont-commence-a-apprendre/ un article qui retrace les avancées clées du machine learning Le deep learning est un sous-domaine du ML basé sur des réseaux de neurones empilés en couches, aujourd'hui omniprésent dans la vision, le langage et la recommandation. Le Perceptron (1957) est le premier modèle formel d'apprentissage supervisé, mais il échoue sur des problèmes non linéaires comme le XOR : une limite structurelle, pas algorithmique. La rétropropagation du gradient (années 80) permet d'entraîner des réseaux multi-couches, mais souffre du problème de "vanishing gradient" qui bloque l'apprentissage en profondeur. L'essor du deep learning dans les années 2000 est autant une révolution matérielle qu'algorithmique : les GPU, conçus pour le jeu vidéo, se révèlent parfaitement adaptés aux calculs matriciels. AlexNet (2012) marque une rupture industrielle en démontrant qu'un CNN profond entraîné sur GPU surpasse largement les méthodes classiques en reconnaissance d'images. Les LSTM (1997) résolvent les problèmes de mémoire à long terme des RNN, mais leur nature séquentielle limite fortement la parallélisation. Les Transformers ("Attention Is All You Need", 2017) révolutionnent le domaine en remplaçant la récursion par un mécanisme d'attention parallélisable, adaptable aux GPU et TPU. L'IA générative introduit une rupture conceptuelle : les modèles apprennent la distribution des données pour en produire de nouveaux exemples, et non plus simplement classifier. Les LLM offrent un socle généraliste réutilisable pour de nombreuses tâches, là où l'IA prédictive nécessitait un modèle spécifique par problème. La question de l'AGI reste ouverte et très incertaine, mais l'IA devient déjà un "acteur logiciel" capable de raisonner et d'agir de manière autonome via les agents. Ca y est, Agent to Agent Protocol (A2A) est sorti en version 1.0 https://a2a-protocol.org/latest/announcing-1.0/ Prêt pour la prod Support multi-version ( multi-protocoles (gRPC, HTTP+JSON…) Multi-tenancy : un même endpoint peut supporter et exposer plusieurs agents distincts Agent Cards signées et vérifiables cryptographiquement pour vérifier l'identité des agents Flexibilité : les clients peuvent choisir de consommer les résultats par polling, streaming, ou également webhooks Outillage Le guide complet pour créer des skills pour vos agents, par Anthropic https://resources.anthropic.com/hubfs/The-Complete-Guide-to-Building-Skill-for-Claude.pdf Définition et structure : Les skills sont des dossiers contenant des instructions (fichier SKILL.md obligatoire) et des scripts qui enseignent aux agents comment exécuter des tâches spécifiques ou utiliser des outils MCP de manière fiable. Fonctionnement technique : Le système repose sur la "divulgation progressive" via un en-tête YAML critique, permettant à Claude de charger le contexte de la compétence uniquement lorsque la demande de l'utilisateur le nécessite. Cycle de vie : Le guide couvre toutes les étapes de développement, de la définition des cas d'usage (automatisation, création de documents) aux protocoles de test et de distribution. il couvre aussi comment tester (brievement) et des patterns communs Apprendre a utiliser les skills pour structurer son code ia https://philippart-s.github.io/blog/2026-02-18-anthropic-skills/ Les Skills Claude sont des packages d'instructions dans un dossier enseignant à Claude comment gérer des tâches spécifiques de façon cohérente. Un skill se compose au minimum d'un fichier SKILL.md avec un frontmatter YAML et des instructions en Markdown. Le frontmatter YAML impose deux champs obligatoires : name (en kebab-case) et description (max 1024 caractères expliquant quoi faire et quand le déclencher). Les skills fonctionnent de façon identique sur Claude.ai, Claude Code et l'API sans modification. Trois catégories principales : création de documents/assets, automatisation de workflows multi-étapes, et amélioration d'intégrations MCP. Les skills s'appuient sur le principe de divulgation progressive : frontmatter toujours chargé, corps du SKILL.md si pertinent, fichiers liés à la demande. Cinq patterns courants : orchestration séquentielle, coordination multi-MCP, raffinement itératif, sélection d'outils contextuelle, intelligence métier embarquée. Les tests doivent couvrir le déclenchement (90% des requêtes pertinentes), le fonctionnel et la comparaison avec la baseline sans skill. Pour la distribution, héberger sur GitHub avec un README séparé du dossier du skill (pas de README.md dans le dossier lui-même). Un skill-creator officiel permet de générer un premier SKILL.md en 15-30 minutes à partir d'une description en langage naturel. Les skills pour les agents, c'est une façon d'automatiser des tâches répétitives https://glaforge.dev/posts/2026/02/21/easily-build-a-local-mcp-server-in-java-with-a-skill-in-gemini-cli/ Construction facile de serveurs MCP Java locaux pour Gemini CLI et autres agents. Solution au code Java répétitif : JBang + LangChain4j + un "skill" utilisé par Gemini CLI. Idée clée : Une "skill" pour Gemini CLI automatise génération et installation des serveurs. La "skill" génère un fichier Java, le compile et l'enregistre dans les paramètres de Gemini CLI. Avantages : Élimine le boilerplate, enregistrement automatique, développement rapide. Conclusion : Les "skills" d'agent automatisent les tâches répétitives et systématisent l'expérimentation.

Dans cet épisode, on est loin des clichés dorés qu'on colle habituellement aux diplomates. Pas de pyramide de Ferrero Rocher (ou pas que) … mais un métier complexe, exigeant, profondément humain.Adrien Frier, Consul général de France à Los Angeles depuis 2024, nous ouvre les coulisses de plus de quinze années au cœur de la diplomatie française. Il nous raconte son enfance entre villes et déracinements, l'héritage d'une famille engagée dans le service public, revient sur ses premières années sur les dossiers européens, son immersion au Département d'État américain en pleine transition Obama-Trump, son rôle dans la lutte contre le terrorisme et la guerre en Ukraine, et enfin son arrivée à Los Angeles, où il sert plus de 25 000 Français.On parle aussi de la vie de famille quand tout le monde déménage pour le travail d'une seule personne, du rôle des conjoints suiveurs, des JO Paris-Los Angeles 2024-2028, du sport comme outil diplomatique, des clichés (et de ceux qui sont vrais), du numéro France Consulaire, de ses projets pour la communauté… et oui, même de jeux vidéo.Un épisode dense, sincère, parfois drôle, souvent touchant, qui montre une diplomatie loin des étiquettes et beaucoup plus incarnée qu'on ne l'imagine. Et comme on diffuse en janvier, Adrien Frier partage aussi ses vœux pour 2026 : pour lui, pour les Français de la circonscription, pour la France et pour le monde.French Expat est un podcast de French Morning qui raconte les parcours de vie des Français établis hors de France.

LONDINIUM CHRONICLES: GAIUS & GERMANICUS PHILOSOPHIZE Summary of Audio Part 1 Gaius and Germanicus, reflecting on 21st-century events from Londinium, compare the American "princeps" (emperor) issuing ultimatums against "gangsters" in places like Gaza and Caracas to the Roman precedent of figures like Pompey suppressing the Cilician pirates, noting that emperors do not negotiate. Germanicus suggests the current US administration's approach of reducing direct administrative control over allies while maintaining titular supremacy is reminiscent of how the Roman Emperor in Constantinople dealt with emerging barbarian kingdoms by bestowing Roman titles like Consul and Patrician. They debate whether Europe's recent emergency meeting in Copenhagen regarding a "drone wall" signifies European independence or a success of the US princeps' policy of creative retrenchment, criticizing the arbitrary basis of 20th-century alliances like NATO and the discredited domino theory.

'Saint Patrick was Bishop of Prusa, a city in Bythinia (the present-day Brusa or Bursa). Because of his Christian faith, he was brought before Julius (or Julian) the Consul, who in his attempts to persuade Patrick to worship as he himself did, declared that thanks was owed to the gods for providing the hot springs welling up from the earth for the benefit of men. Saint Patrick answered that thanks for this was owed to our Lord Jesus Christ, and explained that when He, Who is God, created the earth, He made it with both fire and water, and the fire under the earth heats the water which wells up, producing hot springs; he then explained that there is another fire, which awaits the ungodly. Because of this, he was cast into the hot springs, but it was the soldiers who cast him in, and not he, who were harmed by the hot water. After this St Patrick was beheaded with the presbyters Acacius, Menander, and Polyaenus. Most likely this was during the reign of Diocletian (284-305).' (Great Horologion)

Last time we spoke about the Battle for the Great Wall of China. In 1933, the Kwantung Army faced logistical struggles and sought political deals with Chinese warlords to seize North China. Despite capturing key areas, chaos reigned as their unauthorized operations defied Tokyo's orders. When Emperor Hirohito demanded a withdrawal, the army reluctantly complied, derailing a coup attempt. Though peace talks followed, distrust persisted, and rogue Japanese commanders plotted fresh offensives. The Tanggu truce was anything but fair to China. The Japanese followed it up with continuous negotiations aimed at slicing more and more out of China. By 1935 North China was practically annexed if but all in official terms. The Japanese seized postal rights, train rights, airline rights, set up puppets to police a new demilitarized zone and seemed never appeased fully. Yet they did not only have their eye on Northern China.    #149 Incidents in North China: Operation Chahar Welcome to the Fall and Rise of China Podcast, I am your dutiful host Craig Watson.

May 1935, marked the peak of Sino-Japanese efforts at reconciliation. Yet this quickly fell apart in June as the Kwantung Army continued to encroach in North China. More specifically they began to look at Chahar province. Between January and May of 1935 some 50 instances of anti-Japanese violence had broken out in North China and behind these outbursts seemed to be Yu Xuecheng, the chairman of Hubei's provincial Government. He was not alone in his efforts as many KMT members, generals in the Central Army and Blue Shirt Society also had helping hands to play. The Japanese were particularly infuriated by incessant attacks from the bandit army led by Sun Yungqin and the assassinations of two pro-Japanese figures operating in Tientsin, Pai Yuhuan and Hu Enpu. Even with th support of the Kwantung Army, maintaining law and order in the demilitarized region established by the Tanggu Trace proved a serious undertaking. The Nanjing government tried exploit the situation, encouraging Sun Yungqin's bandits to create chaos in the demilitarized region. Sun Yungqin's bandit frequently crossed the Great Wall into Rehe in raids. Each time the Kwantung Army attempted to catch them as they fled into the demilitarized region. They particularly liked to do so in the Zunhua district where the official He Xiaoyi supplied the bandits with munitions and provisions. On May 17th, the Kwantung Army was fed up and elected to cross the Great Wall to crush Sun Yungqin once and for all. The Japanese army attache at Peiping, Major Takahasi Tan, notified the Chinese authorities of this decision, claiming the Kwantung Army had the authority to do so under certain provisions within the Tanggu agreement. Beginning on May 20th, the Sugihara Mixed Brigade began its hunt and claimed to have uncovered evidence that Yu Xuecheng had helped guide Sun Yingqin's bandits away from their force. The Japanese also argued the bandits were operating in Manchuria and were calling themselves the “Northeastern Patriotic Volunteers” led by General He Yingqing, the current chairman of the Peiping Branch Military Council.  The bandits were said to have been completely crushed within 5 days by a single brigade. The Japanese also forced the resignation of Yu Xuecheng who refused to organize an anti-chiang kai-shek movement. Shortly before the operation launched, two pro-Japanese newspaper publishers, secretly supported by the Japanese Special Service Agency were assassinated in Tientsin. On May 2nd, Hu Enpu of the Kuochuan pao “national rights” was shot in bed at the Peiyang Hotel in the Japanese concession. That same night, Pai Yuhuan of Chen Pa was murdered in his home. Consul General Kawagoe reported to Tokyo, Hu Enpu and Pai Yuhuan were performing a mission through their newspapers to arouse anti-chiang Kai-shek sentiment in North China. As stated by Kawagoe "Hu and Pai did not have a particularly close personal relationship, but they were regarded with extreme suspicion by the Chinese. Since they were assassinated on the same night, we immediately suspected there was some political intrigue behind these crimes."   Japanese police looked into the matter and discovered the criminals had used a car bearing the plate number 1063 which was owned by Shen Qucheng who was a resident of the Japanese concession. Many suspects were interrogated, and given what they were saying, the Japanese suspected the man behind the assassinations was General Yang Hu, the peace preservation commissioners of Shanghai and an alleged member of the Blue Shirt Society. The Japanese also believed Yang Hu was hiding in the French concessions in Shanghai. In protest of this, the Japanese invoked the Boxer Protocol and Tanggu Truce: “1) The Sun incident and the assassinations of the pro-Japan, proManchukuo newspaperpublishers violated the North China [T'angku] Cease-fire Agreement of May 1933. The North China Cease-fire Agreement stipulated that China would not take any action disturbing the peac e on either side of a line from Lut'ai to Paoti and T'ungchou. The above provision extends to all of China and should of course be applied to any defiant deeds of Chines e officials that threaten the peac e in the Peiping-Tientsin region. The Sun incident and the assassinations of Pai and Hu are clearly contrary to the above agreement.  2) The official note exchanged by China and Japan upon the return of Tientsin in 1902 is applicabl e to the murder of Pai Yühuan. This note stated: "In the event a Chines e national who is employed by a foreign army is accused of disobeying the law, the commander of the army that employs the said Chines e national, in order that the matter may be decided in the most suitable manner has the option of punishing him personally or voluntarily delivering him to the appropriate Chinese authorities. Your government must agree to this arrangement.” Since Pai, as already stated, was in the employ of the Japanese army, his murder is clearly a deed which violates the above note."  Thus the Japanese invoked the right that the commander of the Tientsin garrison had the authority to maintain security and try any criminals. Because the Japanese Army claimed it had authority to conduct investigations, trials and deal punishment within two miles of the Peiping-Shanhaigaun rail line it insisted to do so given the recent events. This actually distorted some of the specifics of the Tanggu Treaty, thus the Japanese were on loose grounds. On May 25th, Tokyo HQ was forewarned of the actions the Kwantung Army would undertake in North China. So Tokyo sent Colonel Sakai Takashi the Tientsin army chief of staff and attache Takahasi Tan called upon Yu Qiaqi, the secretary general of the Political affairs council and General He Yingqin. In fact Sakai backed this up with a threatening public statement: “The execution of anti-Manchukuo plots under the direction of the Chinese authorities, assistance to the "Chinese Patriotic Volunteer Forces," and various acts of terrorism directed against Japan are destructive of the cease-fire agreement. The headquarters for these crimes are in Tientsin and Peiping. Should this state of affairs continue, it will become necessary to incorporate the above two cities in the demilitarized zone. The murders of Hu and Pai are violations of the provisions of the Boxer Settlement and a challenge to Japan. If similar acts hereafter occur, Japan will, on the basis of its treaty rights, be forced to consider what action is necessary for the defense of its rights”. Additionally, Sakai demanded the withdrawal of all KMT aligned units, Blue Shirt Society members, the Political Training Corps of the Peiping Branch Military Council and the 3rd Regiment Military Police from North China. He also wanted Yu Xuecheng dismissed as chairman of Hubei. The next day in a move to intimidate Yu Xuecheng, the Tientsin Army deployed armored vehicles, artillery and machine guns directly in front of his official residence. It seemed now the Japanese sought to incorporate all of Hubei into the new demilitarized region. To make this happen, Sakai had independently put forward these demands, but they were recognized as an ultimatum from Japan, one for which for now had no deadline.  Chiang Kai-Shek, Wang Jingwei, Huang Fu and He Yingqin conferred over the situation and chose to informally talk with the Japanese while they kept the press quiet on the matter. The Chinese took their time, so to pressure them further, the Kwantung Army deployed a infantry battalion and one cavalry brigade at Shanhaiguan, while the Kawaguchi detachment concentrated around Gubeikou and two air force squadrons were brought over to Jinzhou. The Tientsin Army readied two battalions at Tientsin and Tangshan, both prepared to advance to Peiping at a moments notice. After sending numerous orders not to escalate things, Tokyo HQ sent Colonel Kita Seiichi, the chief of its China desk to demand the Kwantung Army not use anymore force. Meanwhile the Imperial Japanese Navy, under the fear of Anglo-American intervention avoided escalating the situation, but kept the 3rd fleet on full alert.  Under immense pressure the Chinese buckled. At 6pm on June 10th, He Yingqin orally advised Major Takahashi that Nanjing would issue a directive ordered the immediate withdrawal of local KMT organs from Hubei; that the 51st NRA Army would depart by rail from Hubei between June 11th and 25th; that the end and 25th NRA divisions of the Central Army would also depart Hubei and that the KMT would issue a directive prohibiting anti-japanese activities throughout China. It was an incredibly embarrassing act and became known as the He-Umezu agreement. Under its provisions the Japanese had expelled the Central Army from North China, Yu Xuecheng's forces, all anti-Japanese organizations of any sort and all anti-Japanese officials were removed. The Japanese had heavily capitalized on the assassinations in Tientsin, however other incidents enabled our good friend Doihara to cause further mayhem.  Following the Tanggu truce, Song Queyuan's 29th Army, consisting of the 37th, 38th and 132nd divisions had been deployed throughout Chahar with his headquarters based at Kalgan. His troops understandably displayed a lot of anti-japanese attitude and behaviors. Like a broken record, it was only a matter of time until an incident organically presented itself. One of the first ones broke out in Changpei. According to the Japanese, so get your grains of salt ready, a group of 8 led by staff officer Kawaguchi Kiyotake of the Tientsin garrison and Ikeda Katsumi of the consulate at Kalga and planned an excursion to Inner Mongolia late October 1934. After completing all the necessary paperwork and procedures, such as securing visas and giving advance notice to the Chinese officials in the areas they would voyage, the Japanese departed Kalgan for Tolun on October 27th. Upon entering Changpei's south gate they were suddenly stopped by troops under Song Queyuans 132nd division alongside some Peace Preservation Corps men. Their commanding officer punched Ikeda as the rest of the party were threatened with Dao swords and rifles. After 40 minutes a Chinese security officer showed up to allow them all to pass through the South Gate.  The Japanese foreign Ministry and Army were obviously outraged by this incident. The vice Consul at Kalgan, Hashimoto Masayasu complained to the chief of staff of the 132nd division and Major Takahasi at Peiping lodged an official complaint with Song Queyuan. On November 25th, Song Queyuan ordered the general commanding the 132nd division, Chao Tengyu, to apologize and dismissed the officer who punched Ikeda. Song Queyuan then guaranteed safe travel for all Japanese throughout Chahar, without any inspection of their possession and he promised to withdraw his troops west of the Great Wall. All of this because a guy was punched, you can really get the sense the Chinese were walking on eggshells. In late 1934, a large contingent of Song Queyuan's cavalry had deployed to the area around Fengning in Rehe. They were defending strategic positions and establishing large peace preservation corps. The Kwantung Army repeatedly demanded they withdraw from the area and the Chinese had made promises as to such by December 31st. Rather than comply, the Chinese launched an offensive and captured 40 Manchukuo militiamen. Song Queyuan rewarded his men with a bounty of 300 silver yuan and ordered the arms of the enemy by handed to the district government of Kuyuan.  On January 17th, the Kwantung Army moved the Nagami detachment of the IJA 8th Division from Chengde to launch a punitive expedition against Song Queyuan's forces in the Kuyuan area. On the 20th the Peiping Branch Military Council informed the Kwantung Army Song Queyuan was already withdrawing his men. Thus the Nagami detachment who had advanced as far as Tat'an turned around for the Great Wall on the 22nd, when they were suddenly attacked by Song Queyuan's troops near Hungnit'an. The Kwantung Army were outraged by what they were calling the first incident in western Rehe. The so-called incident would be resolved on February 2nd nar Ta'an when Zhang Yueting acting on behalf of the NRA 37th division and Major General Tani Hisao on behalf of the IJA 7th division agreed to the following terms: “1) In the future China will strictly prohibit actions that antagonize the Japanese army and will neither move troops into Manchukuo nor adopt a threatening attitude toward Manchukuo. The Chinese will completely suspend their current spying activities, such as scouting the movements of the Kwantung Army.  2) If China violates the above pledges in the future, the Japanese  army will act independently and firmly, but the responsibility will be borne by the Chinese . If the Chinese forces increase their military strength or contemplate strengthening their fortifications, the Japanese army will regard these moves as hostile acts.  3) China is to have the government of Kuyuan district return all arms confiscated (from the Manchukuo militia and turn them over to the Japanese army at Nanweitzu by February 7.  4) The outcome of this conference will be jointly announced on February 4. In particular, the Chinese should be careful that in making their announcement they do not distort the contents of the agreement or engage in counterpropaganda”. Can you imagine there was a second incident at Changpei? 4 members of the Japanese Special Services Agency based out of Abga, some 40 miles northwest of Tolun had come to the same southgate around 4pm on June 5th, traveling to Kalgan. There they were detained by units of the 132nd division who refused to recognize their identification papers. They were apparently held without proper bedding or food, threatened with Dao swords and bayonets. The Japanese claimed it was all done under orders from Song Queyuan's chief of staff and that their officials were interrogated by the chief of military police at Changpei. On June 11th, Lt Colonel Matsui Gennosuke, the head of the Japanese Special Service Agency at Kalgan, demanded an apology from Song Queyuan and for the men responsible to be punished and for further guarantees for safe travel. Matsui also insinuated that unless Song Queyuan severed ties to Nanjing and became Pro-Japanese he might suffer the same fate that had befallen Yu Xuecheng. Clearly the Kwantung Army was looking to remove Song Queyuan's army from Chahar province. There were two major reasons for such a thing, so they could better protect the northwestern flank of Manchukuo and to support Prince De who was attempting a campaign to make Inner Mongolia independent from China.  On June 11th the Kwantung Army directed the Mukden Special Service Agency chief of staff, our old buddy, Doihara, currently in Peiping, to confer with the army attache there and with the Tientsin garrison. They were to push for Song Queyuan's army to be withdrawn south of the Yellow River as rapidly as possible. Tokyo HQ always keeping a close eye on their troublesome Kwantung Officers dispatch this notice to Doihara "Although we desire the evacuation of Song Queyuan's army from Chahar province, we disagree that we should, at this time, demand its withdrawal south of the Yellow River. Rather, its transfer to the Peiping-Hankow Railway line would be advisable." On June 13th, the General Staff advised the Kwantung Army the same message. The General staff then ordered every detachment in North China to act discreetly "If we shun excessive publicity at this time, we should, in view of the present situation, be able to achieve practical results without publicity." Since they were already getting their way in Hubei, Tokyo HQ did not want to risk rocking the boat in Chahar concurrently.  Then came a second western Rehe incident, according to the Chengde Special Service Agency, "On June 11, when a party led by a senior official of Fengning hsien was about to enter the town of Tungchatzu [in Manchukuo, about eight kilometers north of Tushihk'ou], it was attacked by rifle fire from Sung Che-yuan's troops stationed at Tushihk'ou. The next day, June 12, a member of the border police force in Hsiaoch'ang [in Manchukuo, about fifteen kilometers north of Tushihk'ou] was also fired upon by the same troops of Sung in the vicinity of Hsiaoch'ang."  On June 17th, the Kwantung Army General Minami Jiro met with the Tientsin Army chief of staff Sakai and the Special Service Agency chief at Kalgan, Matsui for a full report on the incident. After reviewing it, Minami drafted a policy to guide the Kwantung Army:  “The withdrawal of Sung Che-yuan's army will worsen the confusion in the Peiping-Tientsin region. This incident should be handled separately from the North China problem and should be negotiated locally with Sung Che-yuan. Our demands will be limited to the following:  1) withdrawal of the troops invading Manchukuo, together with their advance unit at Tolun;  2) removal of the forces back to the Kalgan area;  3) an apology by Sung Che-yuan;  4) punishment of those directly responsible for the Changpei incident; and  5) prohibition of anti-Japanese actions in the future.” The Chinese realized they needed to reach a quick settlement with the Kwantung Army. On the 18th He Yingqin met with Consul General Suma over in Nanjing. Suma was presented with a set of harsh demands from the Kwantung Army and that same day reported to the Executive Yuan he had decided to relieve Song Queyuan of his posts as governor and commander of the 29th Army. He then appointed as acting governor and provincial commissioner of civil affairs, Qin Dechun, who would take the 132nd division implicated in the Changpei incident south. The message was relayed to the Japanese military attache in Nanjing, Lt Colonel Amamiya Tatsumi. The man who relayed the message was Vice Foreign Minister Tang Yujen who also stated this "In view of the fact that China has moved voluntarily to dismiss Sung Che-yuan, to transfer his army, and to punish those responsible, we request that we not be confronted with an ultimatum in the form of various demands from the Kwantung Army with a deadline for reply." On June 19th, Nanjing officially implemented the promises made by He Yingqin and Tang Yujen and in turn the Kwantung Army wired Doihara in Peiping to stand down and wait to see if the Chinese did what they said they would. Doihara was probably disappointed he could not perform his 100th false flag operation he must have been cooking up. For any of you who watch my Youtube content, I used clips from the Chinese WW2 Drama series “Young Marshal” that depicts Doihara hilariously. You can check it out in my long format documentary on the Japanese invasion of Manchuria, its meme gold Doihara's clips, freaking out and smashing phones and such.  At 10 pm on June 23rd, Doihara, alongside Matsui and Takahasi visited Qin Dechen at his residence to negotiate a final understanding. There Doihara demanded China implement several measures to promote better relations with Japan such as withdrawing Song Queyuan's army southwest; give an apology for the Changpei incident; punish all those responsible; dissolve all the anti-japanese organizations in the region; ban Chinese immigration into Inner Mongolia; cease any oppressive actions against Mongolians and cooperate and encourage trade between Manchukuo, Inner Mongolia, North China; and appoint more Japanese military and political advisers. Just a laundry list he had worked up. So Qin Dechen apologized for the Changpei incident, stated they were already withdrawing Song Queyuan's men and dissolving all the anti-japanese organizations. Now he was orally agreeing to all of this, but he refused to put it in writing, prior to receiving the greenlight from Nanjing. Doihara understood and gave him time to talk to his government. The next day however another incident occurred, this time near Tuxukou. There a contingent of Song Queyuan's withdrawing troops fired upon Manchukuo police forces and in response the Tolun Special Service Agency dispatched a Mongolian unit led by Li Shuxin. It was not really much of an incident, just a minor confrontation all things given, so the Kwantung Army told Doihara to deal with Qin Dechen in private about it.On June 27th, Qin Dechen sent a formal reply to Doihara's demands in what became known as the Qin-Doihara agreement. It conformed with all the demands, seeing Song Queyuan's troops depart southwest while the security of Chahar was entrusted to two peace preservation units. One unit was responsible for the Chinese population, the other over the Mongolian. On August 28th, Song Queyuan was appointed garrison commander over the Peiping-Tientsin region with his 29th division joining Chao Tengyu's 132nd division and Liu Juming's 2nd division. Thus after the He-Umezu and Qin-Doihara agreements the Japanese had now expanded their influence into both Hubei and Chahar. 1935 saw a wave of incidents break out in the demilitarized region, prompting the Japanese to go into numerous negotiations with the Chinese to clamp down on anything they didn't like. Then on October 4th, Japan unleashed a document titled  “Concerning Policy towards China”: “The goal of our foreign policy is the development of East Asia and the maintenance of the security of East Asia through the cooperative concert of Japan, Manchukuo, and China, with Japan as the nucleus; this is likewise the objective of our policy toward China. To realize this objective on the basis of the outline below, the central and regional authorities of China must, by fair and just means, adjust their relations with Japan and Manchukuo so as to bring about an environment favorable to the establishment of basic relations between Japan, Manchukuo, and China.  1) China should adopt a good neighbor policy toward Japan, thoroughly suppress anti-Japanese activities, and abandon its policy of reliance on Europe and the United States. It should put this policy into practice and as a matter of course cooperate with Imperial Japan on practical problems.  2) Although China must eventually extend formal recognition to Manchukuo, until then it must recognize de facto the independence of Manchukuo and abandon its anti-Manchukuo policy. At least in North China, which borders on Manchukuo, the Chinese should promote economic and cultural cooperation with Manchukuo.  3) In view of the Communist threat emanating from Outer Mongolia and posing a common menace to Japan, Manchukuo, and China, China should cooperate in measures aimed at eliminating this menace from the region bordering Outer Mongolia.  4) When the above points have been put into effect and we recognize the good faith of China concerning friendly cooperation with Japan and Manchukuo, we shall first conclude comprehensive agreements on friendly cooperative relations between China and Japan, and thereafter draw up the agreement needed for regulating new relations between Japan, Manchukuo, and China” To this Chiang Kai-Shek replied could not recognize Manchukuo but that his government would do whatever it could peacefully to maintain economic activity between the people north and south of the Great Wall. He also stated no other country on earth was more concerned with the Communist menace in Mongolia than China. All of the appeasement efforts had brought Wang Jingwei to his boiling point and on August 8th he departed for Shanghai as he and his entire cabinet resigned. Chiang Kai-Shek personally came over and asked Wang Jingwei to withdraw his resignation given he offered him further support, and Wang Jingwei relented. Then on the morning of November 1st, after attending a meeting, Wang Jingwei was shot by a Chinese reporter for the Chenkuang Press, a company notably associated with Chiang Kai-Shek. Rumors spread the assassination attempt was inspired by anti-japanese elements such as Generals Yang Qi and Tang Shengzhi. With Wang Jingwei in the hospital, Chiang Kai-Shek was forced to take a larger role with the North China situation. Then Wang Jingwei departed for Europe seeking better medical care and wired his resignation on November 29th. Thus Chiang Kai-Shek succeeded him as president of the Executive Yuan and the coalition between him and Wang Jingwei had officially ended. With Chiang Kai-Shek now the only funnel from which action could be directed, the Japanese sent Ambassador Ariyoshi to China to persuade Chiang Kai-Shek to grant some form of autonomy for North China. By this point autonomy for North China had become part of Japan's national policy. Chiang Kai-Shek in response to this growing threat went to Taiyuan, the capital of Shanxi, to meet with Yan Xishan. There he proposed that if Yan Xishan could unite the Northern Warlords, Chiang Kai-Shek would appoint him chairman of the political affairs council, with added authority over finances and diplomacy. Chiang Kai-Shek urged him to come attend the 6th plenum of the Kuomintang Central Executive Committee scheduled for November 1st. At this time Yan Xishan's Shanxi was struggling financially so he reconciled with Chiang Kai-Shek. To this effect Chiang Kai-Shek sent his vice chief of the Army General Staff Xing Pin to tour the north trying to persuade those like Song Queyuan and Han Fuju to not support the North China autonomy movement. The Japanese interpreted these efforts to thwart the autonomy movement as the underlying cause of all the anti-japanese incidents breaking out continuously. To this the Nanjing government disclaimed no responsibility and insisted they were doing everything the Japanese asked of them.  The Japanese began a massive campaign aimed at all the important leaders in North China. One man they managed to gain influence over was Yin Jukeng who on November 25th at Tungzhou, announced the inauguration of the East Hubei Anti-Communist Autonomous Council, claiming autonomy for the entire demilitarized region. Yin Jukeng's council consisted of 9 members whereupon he was chairman and took charge of foreign relations and military affairs. As you can imagine Nanjing immediately labeled him a traitor and ordered his arrest. Chiang Kai-Shek then rapidly sent word to the Japanese an official response to their “Concerning Policy towards China” document:  “To satisfy the various demands from the Japanese side, there should first of all be established in Hopei province an autonomous political administration; ultimately, this administration should be similar to that governing the southwestern region. Whether or not this administration should be extended to other regions will be determined after the results in Hopei have been ascertained.  1) Although the campaign to wipe out the Communists is progressing, the Communist bandits have fled toward Kansu. Since this raises the danger that the Communists may spread into Inner Mongolia, the defense against the Communists in North China should be conducted jointly.  2) Certain aspects of the new monetary system are not suited to North China, and appropriate modifications will be made in this respect.  3) Efforts are to be made to harmonize economic interchange among the people on both sides of the Great Wall.  4) To meet the special needs of the region, the local administration should be given authority to enable it to exercise suitable control over financial matters in North China.  5) Pending issues are to be settled locally in a rational manner.  6) The aim will be to employ talented people to carry out the above tasks and to establish an ideal government.” Chiang Kai-Shek dispatched He Yingqin to reign in the situation at Peiping, but upon his arrival he believed the situation was beyond his control. He Yingqin reported that it was his belief the only way for Nanjing to retain some degree of authority in the region was to create a new political organ to do so. Thus on December 11th, the Nationalist government established the Hubei-Chahar Political Council chaired by Song Queyuan. Song Queyuan declared the new council would assume all responsibility for administering Hubei and Chahar and promised  "to respect the wishes of the people, endeavor in particular to relieve the economic distress of the region, and maintain the peace of East Asia on the basis of Sino-Japanese amity."  Thus within all this madness now two autonomous regimes co-existed in North China. The East Hubei Anti-Communist Autonomous Council would administer 22 prefectures while the Hubei-Chahar Political Council would administer Hubei, Chahar, Peiping and Tientsin. As you might imagine, relations between these two councils was complex and ambiguous. The 22 prefectures the former administered were under the jurisdiction of the other. One was a Japanese puppet, the other was controlled by Nanjing who refused to recognize the other. Japan immediately exploited their newfound chaotic gains in North China. In May of 1936 the 2000 troops of the Tientsin garrison army was boosted to 5600 led by General Tashiro Kan'ichiro. This was done under the guise it was to defend against communists and protect Japanese citizens. The position of the commander of the Tientsin garrison was officially promoted to encompass full responsibility for the situation in North China, exactly the same as the Kwantung Army's role over Manchukuo. Thuse both the Kwantung Army and what was henceforth called the China Garrison had clearly defined roles. One would be responsible for Manchukuo, the other over North China. Japan had neutralized Rehe, Chahar and Hubei, all of whom would fall directly under their influence. But was Japan satisfied?  I would like to take this time to remind you all that this podcast is only made possible through the efforts of Kings and Generals over at Youtube.

Its not always through military means that nations can encroach upon other nations. Japan was showcasing how it could bully away parts of China through threats alone it was working miracles. How long could Chiang Kai-Shek carry on like this? Would it be Japan or his own people that would hang him for losing China?

We start the new year with part three of The Rise of Endymion by Dan Simmons from 1997. We return with...exposition! In a very long scene on the popesteroid, Pope Hoyt brings in Councilor Albedo to explain to the various church leaders that Aenea is carrying a literal engineered virus that will spread through humanity, kill off the cruciforms, and then evolve humans into the Ousters. This is apparently a bad thing? So to combat that, they have been putting billions of people without cruciforms in stasis and stashing them in the labyrinth worlds in a plan that the TechnoCore promises totally isn't evil, swearsies. Anyway, remember all that stuff about the three warring factions in the TechnoCore? Yeah, apparently that's not really the case so just forget all that. This revelation just about breaks Fillip's spirit. Meanwhile, Raul spends an interminable amount of time floating through the atmosphere of a gas giant in his kayak looking at clouds. Eventually, he's eaten by a giant cuttlefish thing, but then we just join up with Raul after the cuttlefish flings him through the next Farcaster to end up back with the Consul's ship. The fact that we spend no time with Raul in the cuttlefish is the most baffling thing since the fact those things on that ice planet were called "wraiths". Anyway, Raul and the ship head off to find Aenea, but conveniently, meeting her will incur a five-year time debt, so she'll be an adult by the time Raul arrives. Those noises you here are Danielle gagging at the thought, and frankly, we're all on her side. So we enter part two of the book on a real downer, will Raul and Aenea finally meet up? Will it be as creepy as we fear? Probably! Special thanks to friend of the pod and honorary co-host Filip from Mind Duck Books for joining us on this thrilling journey!
