Greek Industrial Investments - Too harsh?

[Caeric]

So I was just recently testing out Greece and specifically the industrial investment PP decisions. So, I've had relations as high as possible with all 3 of France, UK and Germany (100 with France & UK and 90 with Germany), I've taken the decision 3 times with each nation and France & UK rejected me 3/3 for -5% stab per time attempted and failed whilst Germany rejected me 2/3 and I merely got +1 building slot for the one they agreed.

So now I've got to ask, unless they agree nearly all the time whilst in faction with them, what the hell is the point? So far gambling -5% stability for maaybe a small chance of getting 1 new building slot in a province at a very low rate seems completely pointless? Or am I missing something?

Yeah, I've tried 5 different investment decisions (75s, 100, 150). None have been accepted. Huge resource sink for nothing.

(And btw I really, really hate the way HoI4 doesn't tell what the decisions actually do.)

Just out of curiousity, did you improve relation first or used agents for diplomacy bonus before using those decisions?

You think Greece is Harsh? You should try Turkey while Greece joins Allies, getting War declared from Italy and then declares War against you.

It seemed to succeed about 50% of the time in my Greece playthrough. This was with relations maxed out. You can repeat these decisions and get quite a few extra building slots. Stability isn't too hard to come by as Greece especially if you're crushing some of the rival factions.

Yes, I clearly stated I maxed out on improve opinion beforehand

I'm not talking about the nation in general, I'm talking about the decisions from a specific focus that seem incredibly RNG with a very low probability and hit you with a -5% stab whenever you press the button

Depends entirely on which political route you're going and it seems you've been far luckier than I've been then given that 8/9 attempts failed.

Might as well ask this as well, any way to stop Germany from handing over your territory to Bulgaria if you both join the Axis?
