Since there is only the option to push into Egypt from Italian Libya, all the provinces will be occupied by Italy. Due to UK naval superiority naval invasions in the Eastern Mediterranean are out of option and Italy, irrespective of warscore, denies granting control of states due to strategic reasons.

Here are some options:
- Don't call in Italy at first, use paratroopers to get Egypt, work from there..
- Or don't call in Italy at first, capitulate Allies solo, then take it all.
- Or run it normally up to the peace conference, then kick Italy from the Axis, ROFLstomp them, and take all Africa and puppet Italy.
- Or take Italy too.

My question wasn't in regards to CONQUERING provinces; just occupying them.
Italy never seems to repair the Suez after taking it, that's the problem. This also means there's no way to solve the oil problem by invading and occupying Iraq and perhaps Iran, as those territories immediately go to Italy.
So option one, then.My question wasn't in regards to CONQUERING provinces; just occupying them.

If the other country has a lot of conquered land you can ask for some of it in the diplomacy screen. so if you take 3 states ask for the most forward one and they'll usually give it. Which then means you're invading from your own territory and thus you should get all lands from that point on. (If Italy has nothing up to that point they may think you have too much territory in which case they wont hand over control of any state - so you'll have to go with the solutions above!)
Sorry just reread your post and realised you already tried getting control of the state with diplomacy. War it is then!
Italy is not only not repairing it. They are the ones who blow it up. Fun right? The Itlains at their best. In SP just call them in before Stalin let them have that area in Peace deal take all of Europe and puppet UK and France for Navy.My question wasn't in regards to CONQUERING provinces; just occupying them.

Italy then keeps it intact or you just turn on them afterwards. Sealiom will be easier as Germany with Italy im the War.
Paratroopers and naval invasions ahead of the Italian front will have you set to occupy that state (assuming the Italians don't occupy most of it first). For example: naval invade Alexandria and occupy the state before the Italians cross El Alamein. That way, you can occupy it Egypt, southward, and northeastward with a human brain's discretion of repairs, resistance management, and supply.
Be carful around Ethiopia/Eritrea, though. Italy may "pour in" from there and mess up the front line again.
You can diplo-ask for occupied states, the calculation is obscure, but I regularly do it as Germany with romania - guess claims play a role, but don't know.

No. There's a better way. Paradrop your way onto Britain and then rush your army across the channel. You'll capitulate the entirety of the allies and have everything you want.
Yeah but that's not fun anymore
I let them live so america can join and i might have to defend against a decently strong dday at some point
