midichlorean harvesting

Ways to take Midi-chlorian-from what I've seen midis die when the host dies-would a parasite/symbiont of a force user gain force power? Could the midis of a newly deceased Jedi or blood/body waste soon after separation from life be taken-put in a jar then gathered-be used to generate unlimited power? or breeding midis in a lab and utilizing industrial agricultural breeding for Midi-chlorian to create more midichloreans and then power. The force has a will of its own though-how to ensure the force obeys, is the question. If it is using Midis then can any force entities stop the acheivement of power?(different then any force hyperdrives, with domesticated midis the force will be domesticated itself. What is the force without Midichloreans?

What if right after Anakin's turn, Sidious forced him into Vader's suit, frying Anakin with force lightning to teach him the importance of pain and telling him he needs to do this to save Padme?

This is after Anakin pledges himself to Sidious Palpatine says this will give him strength in the dark side to save Padme. Palpatine also gives Anakin the painful surgery himself, using ancient sith knives, and chainsaws. This is as he says he will save Padme, and Palps does this instead of saying that together they will find out the secrets.

Would this unironically increase Anakin's powers in the dark side? (Anakin has both limbs their just burned)-Darth Plagueis brought Palps to a ice cold planet, and Vader cut an Inquisitors arms off. Palps suit put him in pain to increase his power.

Utility of nukes

The pressure wave and thermal injuries would have major effects, there just isn't enough nukes to use it as a zombie killing bomb.

Fallout might kill some microbes in the zombie. Would nuclear weapons be effective against a large zombie horde?

What if Panem made all crime legal for 24 hours in the day before the reaping?(Implemented the purge)

Function: Show the disorder that "make the games necessary"

What type of crimes would people in districts commit?

If done in the 70s-theft particularly of food, breaking all sorts of small capitolite rules

if done in the 20s-30s- Rebels would try to escape the district and hunt down "traitors" under the guise of crime.

(Would the US and Britain stand any chance in Africa agianst a super Germany?

[https://www.reddit.com/r/HistoryWhatIf/comments/1jzdq27/how\\\_many\\\_nukes\\\_would\\\_it\\\_take\\\_to\\\_defeat\\\_a\\\_nazi/\](https://www.reddit.com/r/HistoryWhatIf/comments/1jzdq27/how\_many\_nukes\_would\_it\_take\_to\_defeat\_a\_nazi/)

How would the allies come up with the idea of destroying Super Germany's economy/social and political structure/military infastructure with nukes? What events would make doctrine catch up with technology?

In early 30s Red Army general unsuccessfully coups Stalin who luanches a Great Purge with the intensity of OTL 1938-9 purges. These purges continue for a decade. During Barbarossa Total soviet collapse-Stalin captured-reached AA line.

Germany begins rebuilding the destroyed oil infastructure in the Caucasus and commencing exploitation and subjegation of European Russia, clearing the forests, refining forced labour for resource extraction ect. Heavy emphasis on agriculture.

It demobilizes a large amount of forces to focus on a smaller motorized force and builds up the war industries.

The allies however have most of Africa, and Iran,

How would the allies conceptualize theit nuclear war doctrine-where would they get the idea to saturate Germany with hundreds of nukes?

When would the allies begin investing the resources to win the war with nuclear weapons?

In that scenario it is unclear if the US is willing to lose millions of men to Germany(though it was prepared to take heavy casualties both in a hypothetical ww3 in the cold war and in Operation downfall).

Historically the Stratehic bombardment acted as a support to conventional military operations-demolishing hundreds of German targets with Nukes would make air warfare far more important.

Without D Day many airports that could've been used in bombing Germany are still in German hands (and are probably used for bombing the UK and Africa).

Strategic bombing didn't show large scale results until 44. With the Atomic bomb, a strategic bombing raid would be different then a mere air raid into contested skies. Though with the Luftwaffe around, many nuclear bombers would be shot down-more nukes would be needed.

In my Opinion, after an initial hit on Hamburg, Berlin or the Ruhr, (which is unlikely to capitulate Germany) The Allies would be convinced that the nuke isn't just a bigger bomb and begin creating doctrines for large scale nuclear bombardment-seen in the 50s and after.

Would the allies begin utilizing wonder weapon propoganda making the Manhattan project public prior to this?

How would adopting a plan of winning the war with air power change the structure and equipment of the allied airforce?

Though are Nukes being used to support landings or for strategic bombings and which were they used for first?

The allies however have most of Africa, and Iran, Germany begins to mount an offensive to deny the allies Middle Eastern Oil. Do the allies stand a chance? Where would the Axis be stopped? What would the allied strategy be without the Soviet Union?

The luftwaffe would have more of it's focus on the UK(besides North Africa,Iran and bombing the Russian partisans)

Would the UK begin sending peace feelers to Germany?-If Africa falls that is a major possibility-the allies would be in need of a morale victory by that point. Before the Germans reach Africa there would be the battle of Iran.

If the allies are to at least delay the thinning of their material superiority the battle of Iran would determine if such capabilities still existed.

How long would it take for a US backed Russian clients to be able to do any real damage? At the end of the day, the partisans in occupied Russia itself will be crushed sooner or later, though the insurgancy will be fierce, at the end of the day their just partisans, the crushing of the Soviet army remnants behind the AA will depopulate the region, and be chaotic. The partisans can last longer with regular arms shipments by the allies/smuggling from unoccupied Russia, maybe they can slow the resource extraction with their efforts. Should the allies lose Iran/Iraq, aiding partisans will become more difficult.
