概要
 In Hanoi on 22 September 1940, Generals Martin and Nishihara signed a military agreement governing Japan’s entry into Tonkin, allowing three northern air bases, 6,000 Japanese troops, and a small presence at Haiphong; later French reporting treated it as a ceiling of 25,000 troops in transit. 🇻🇳📜 The episode’s divergence begins immediately after the signature: the Japanese force operating from Kwangsi obeys the agreement and stays on the Chinese side of the frontier instead of crossing near Đồng Đăng and Lạng Sơn on 22 September. That alternative was genuinely available because Nishihara had sent an officer to stop the threatened entry, and later Japanese explanations blamed delayed transmission of orders. Most plausibly, this removes the specific frontier battle and the surrender of the French detachment at Lạng Sơn, while still leaving pressure intact through authorized entry routes. Haiphong and the designated airfields could then carry Japanese troops and support operations against Chinese supply lines, so the change is narrow rather than decisive. Beyond that point, the script says certainty fails: it cannot securely predict whether Japan would have settled into the agreement, reopened coercion, or engineered a new crisis, and it does not establish a later outcome for Indochina or the wider war. Glitch of History examines how the route, the order, and the limits of command shaped the first break in the record.
