Overall, it seems to me that releasing Korea as a puppet and the Dailan territory to Manchuko may be a better option than waiting for compliance to build up for over a year until you actually will get to use any of their factories. Or perhaps doing so when/if Japan switches over to free trade? Trading for resources is obviously lucrative with your puppets at 80/1. Plus the obvious upside of not having to garrison these territories.
What are the downsides? I know you lose free resources. Do you gain enough manpower requesting garrison MP to offset the losses from not occupying the territory?
I am also curious, when you release a puppet do they then get to start using their own focus tree to improve the country? If so it seems a no brainer to release them to get the free upgrades of factories and infrastructure from national foci.
A last unrelated question. Is it true that there is an event that will trigger the second Sino Japanese war in 1938 if you do not complete the marco polo focus with Japan?
