Is the only way as National China to control the Warlords is to pick ''Subjuguate the Warlords'' ?

(In previous versions, the warlords eventually rallied your cause)

Yo7 need united front focus. They'll then join the war against Japan. You no longer auto annex them though.

Can you subjugate them later?

 

[Black Turtle]

Ya there's q one China focus.

 

[BaronNoir]

Yeah, I meant annexating them.

 

[Alliegorical]

Yeah, I meant annexating them.

Uh... Like he said, the One China focus.

 

[BaronNoir]

Jesus, ''One China'' is deep, deep, deep...

 

[Meglok]

Jesus, ''One China'' is deep, deep, deep...

Or you can just boot and fabricate vs them....

 

[Duke_Dave]

I think there should be an ability to integrate them when taking that focus.

Actually, I took the three decision deep ''secure the interior''. The ones that refused were annexated within a month.

Sorry for necro, but how did you get to "secure the interior"?

 

[Robosoldier1]

There really should be an option to integrate them by force (without waring with them and i mean full integration and not puppetry or into the faction like in vanilla ) but lose stability for doing so or lose production capability and other such stuff. China is extremely difficult to hold now considering you aren't able to bring to bear the entirety of it to stave off the Japanese. Sure the Japanese have their debuff but with their combination of air, land and sea power as well as your own national malices in place at the start it can make for a scramble at the start just to hold, in which they can sometimes just spread so rapidly you can't contain them. Ya the Warlords expedition troops but they trickle often at such a slow rate and I got a huge front to cover including the entirety of the coast line. The only viable route is to enhance yourself as best as you can so you can manage the rest of the greater war to come. Simply because you don't have the time to dick around and please the warlords and engage them in a conflict.

I think you should be able to get the decisions you get with subjugate the war lords with united front.

How did you get this?

 

[BaronNoir]

Three Principle of the People

Then

Focus on the Interior

Then

Subjugate the Warlords

 

[stl3l9n]

But then how do you create the united front? Do you just not create it?

 

[BaronNoir]

I don't create it and I handle the war with Japan alone (I also subjugate the communists). It a testament to the AI capacities that it's actully easier.

 

[stl3l9n]

So it's impossible to go historical...

 

[AmpsterMan]

I typically do the United Front decision, fight off Japan, and then annex them later on via the "one China" focus.

If you go through the German collaboration tree you can get there fairly quickly, and it is typically what I do.

 

[Liquid Ghost]

Sounds like United Front is hard mode. You also have to deal with Mao's inflitration during the war. Better to quickly secure the interior before JAP invades.

Beating Japan and uniting China as Nat. China strictly implies you're not going "historical".
