I never liked the way Japan was handled in this game. You can either puppet it, or annex it. There's no way to simulate Japan's surrender in game. So I decided to create a series of events that simulate Japan's surrender, the USSR involvment, and so on.
There's no ingame way for events to check if 2 nuclear bombs hit the country, so I set the surrender conditions instead to occupation of the all the home islands. If the home islands are occupied, but there are still VPs abroad, it can randomly trigger, like the Bitter Peace event (in fact, it has the same chance as the Bitter Peace).
If Japan no longer controls all of its home islands, trigger the "Japan Sues for Peace"
Option A: trigger two events
Option B: do nothing
Both these events trigger:
Event A: Sue for Peace with USSR
Activated by "Japan Sues for Peace", but triggers only if Japan at war with USSR.
Limited peace with USSR only, liberate Mongolia and Tannu Tuva, Communist China gets Manchukuo. USSR as reward for fighting Japan get Sakhalin and Kurile Islands to USSR (plus any gains they may have gotten from Bitter Peace).
Event B: Sue for Peace with USA
Peace with everybody, including USSR, liberate Korea, Nat. China, Indonesia (and Netherlands), Phillipines Australia, New Zealand, Siam, Bhutan, Nepal, Tibet, and Sinkiang, cede Western Manchuria and Taiwan to Nat. China, cede Pacific Islands and Okinawa to USA, return Indochina and Madagascar to France. leave the Axis, join the Allies, grant military control and military access to USA. Install democracy in Japan, Japan joins the Allies. Remove national claims on Guam and Sakhalin. Remove from the minister and leaders list the war criminals that the Allies punished. Also do all the stuff in Event A except for USSR's rewards.
There would then be four possible outcomes if Japan chooses to sue for Peace.
1)Both USSR and USA reject, war goes on
2)USSR rejects, but USA accepts, so USSR is forced to accept also because it can't challence US Pacific power.
3)USSR accepts, USA rejects. USSR leaves war, Japan is left only with USA and Allies to deal with.
4)Both USSR and USA accepts. All the stuff in event B happens.
In all instances, USSR will regain any territories lost to Japan during the Bitter Peace. However, they will get Sakhalin and the Kuriles only if USSR was at war with Japan.
In order to play with these events, place the attachment into your db/events folder, and add the following line to your event.txt file (located in your db folder):
event = "db\events\JapanSurrenders.txt"
