Peace, and build up to the next invasion. 2nd October 1938- 17th February 1939


Added 2 series of MIL, 1 series og MP and 4 series of transports ships.

Ny next front. It is really low infrastructure around the whole front, so I am upgrading every 10% frontline province to 20%.

I am reaorganzing and setting out MIL / GAR around where they are needed.



Stopping 2 series of MTN and 2 series of CAV. I have also researched 1939 MTN, and 1939 CAV is soon researched. I put the ones I am keeping (4x MTN and 2x CAV) on auto-upgrade.

Nice victory in China
 
Nice. Maybe I will puppet British Raj for getting some troops from them (and no partisan worries), and maybe puppet Australia/New Zealand to have no problem with partisans.

Nice victory in China
Thanks, went quite good.

You gonna attack the Soviet Union at some point?
After USA, yes, then Soviet is the next on the list, but USA is going to be the real big challenge first.
 
Preperations. 18th March 1939 - 26th August 1939

Turning off auto-upgrade on CAV, as CAV 1939 cost a lot more, and uses fuel. So I will keep my CAV at 1936 level, since it is not so much difference between CAV 1936 and CAV 1939.

This will be the base for Pearl Harbour attack. Building infrastructure and Naval Base. I'll get infra up to 40% and a level 5 Naval Base.
0162.png



Making a series of static AA. These will be put into my main ports where I keep my fleets of ships.
0163.png


First 4 CV's finished!
0164.png


Added two BB's to production. I wanted 4, but I have to save IC.

Woohoo!

Getting down dissent. I have been selling supplies so I have a good cash reserve.
0168.png


These series are in their last production, as I have shortened down some of them.
0169.png


Main CV fleet got it's first 4 CV's
0170.png


Turning off upgrades on all of CAV.
0171.png


I shortened two series of transport ships, and infrastructure soon finished.
0172.png


Set into production two series of MOT 1939. A bit late on making them, but I am hoping to make two series more.

So a couple more years preparation for main event no2?
 
So a couple more years preparation for main event no2?
Yeah. Going for a historical Pearl Harbour (around that date).

But I first have a lot of land to invade and conquer in SE-Asia. I am going to declare war on the Allies, and then invade all Allied land in SE-Asia.
 
Division counting and prioritizing of productions.

Planning for Pearl Harbour, or more; I am planning on how much of CAV and MTN I am gonna build. And, I came to conclusion I will stop the rest of CAV production, as I hit 20 divisions when these 3 finish. I need more MOT instead.

I already have 30 INF divisions, which I would have more into MTN actually, I was just planning for 24 INF divisions, but through annexing I got more into production. 16 MTN divisions I have, with 4 coming soon. And I have 10 MAR, giving me a total number of fighting units currently at;

17 CAV
30 INF
16 MTN
10 MAR
2 HQ

I also have MIL/GAR units.

The thing that is really missing is MOT/ARM, so I am stopping production on some stuff. CAV I at least have enough of, and transports too. I am also stopping two MTN from producing.

Transport fleet

I made five tranport fleets with 4 transport in each, and 5-6 combat ships as escort. These 5 fleets will be used in naval landings all over SE-Asia.
0178.png


Mountain land of western USA.
There are a LOT of mountains in west of USA/Canada, I think I need more MTN, at least 30 divisions.

0179.png


So I am upgrading these 6 divions to MTN, set them on prioritized productions. This will give me 26 MTN pretty soon (4 soon finished in production), and also adding additional 2 MTN divisions every year from production.

Preparing for attacking Allies 19th October 1939.

My (only) wing of INT are set to Air Scramble in the Naval Base I am using for the operation (Taipei). This base will be the base of my two battlefleets.

Partisan map of China.

I have gone through all my divisions for setting the final brigades after type. The INF divisions will be in a corp of two, with one space open for TD.
0183.png


I am adding the CAV-brigades I started the game with to the MTN.
0184.png


MAR have ENG brigades, and CAV currently have nothing except a few L-ARM brigades I started with. If I have the IC to it, I am going to add medium armour brigades to CAV.




Battleplan

I have 10 MAR and 17 CAV set up ready for invasion from sea.

Overland battleplan;
0186.png


Ambhibous landings, five of them, will be carried out after only days of war. I am landing with 2 MAR and 2 CAV on all five beaches.
0187.png



I am really soon ready to declare war. In only a week maybe. I am just going to look over that everyone has full org, and get my battlefleets out of port.

Last days before war.

Doing some trading. This is a good price from US;

Good price from Canada too, bringing my money to over 14 000. Which is needed as I have to go to "General Mobilization" soon.

My fleets are in sea, and my transports are loaded.

Consequences of going to war.

First of all, I had to also declare war on Indochinese Union, even though they are a puppet of France (which I I became at war with when I declared war on UK).



Bad news first; got trade embargo from USA.
192.png



On the good side, my consumer goods demand went in half. This make me be able to make more MOT. I am just going to build up my supply leves a bit (sold all for money before I declared war).
