Chapter I: Building Up the Kingdom Part One
Kingdoms tend to drift to Axis, so why not speed up this progress a little bit more?
And now some Hungarian technology report!
Infantry tab looks pretty nice, with Hungarian army lacking only AT guns of any kind so far. This needs to be rectified, since all of our potential enemies (democracies!) have some kind of tanks, especially Czechoslovakia.
But we have a tank program of our own also! Most likely we won’t be able to build heavier tanks, but it’s better to have Straussler V-3s than nothing.
Industry is on par with all the regional powers in Europe; basically lagging behind a few years in almost every technology.
Military doctrines are again quite average, but I couldn’t wish for anything better.
And a few hours into the game, I’m able to enact better laws!
After I get my OOB reorganized (no pain, most of the divisions were INF/INF/ART), I start producing these units which are missing to the build or upgrading the current ones.
Later on, 14 horse-towed support brigades enter the production as well. I’ll be going for 3xINF/2xSUP (H) and ARM/2xMOT/2xSUP (T) divisions.
Hungarian neutrality drops like a brick even without raising threat, so I’m soon able to mobilize for war.
A great tragedy hits Hungary on 6th October. Gyula Gömbös passed away and Kálmán Darányi replaces him right away (actually, more than a month passed between these events).
These are three infantry and one armored divisions in production.
Yeah, we all know that Romanians are bad. Those greedy rascals inhabited the borders almost solely by their population, but forgot that Hungary once extended as far as Brasov and many Hungarians are still living there!
On 12th February 1937, Hungary signs the Anti-Comintern pact.
And the very same day, war economy is put into effect. After all, the war is the only tool that can redeem the injustice of Trianon treaty.
That’s it for this one; I hope the next chapter won’t take 14 days to complete as this one did. Don’t put too much hope into seeing another chapter today, it’s getting late here!
