Here is the specific event for the gearing for the fall of Iceland, Bermuda and greenland. There are also triggers for other provinces in canada. Triggers for alliances and also access agreements are also there. The events do have alot of varying triggers.
The first gearing event is linked to either 35 beligerance, or numerous provinces falling in canada and certain alliances or military access agreements.
The 2nd gearing event is linked to 50 beligerance or the same set of provinces fallings, alliances and access.
The 3rd gearing is linked to 60 beligerance for germany and 70 for Soviets and Japan. or the same provinces falling and so on.
The 4th series of gearing events is linked to canadian proivnce, UK provinces in canada and the islands in the atlantic. This is the one below. This event will only fire once for each of the provinces falling. So if the azores fell then you get one gearing, but if greenland falls you do not get another as you have already had this event. You do not get one for each Island. I thougt it was for each island but its only once now.
Now the gearing you mention you should have got for China. When China is puppeted you get a gearing event. Now this same event is also the one for the 35 beligerance. You can only however get this event once. So you will get it for either china being puppeted or the 35 beligerance, or one of the many other triggers. You do not get this event for both China being a pupet and 35 beligerance. There the triggers for the same single event. This is the same for france. The actual trigger for the US gearing is france not controling paris, so when paris falls the US gets a gearing. However if you already had the one for pupetting china then you have already had your gearing event.
China, France and 35 beligerance are all the same Gearing for war event. You only get it once.
So at present your peace time modifier is correct as this is what the gearing events say in the file. Have a good look at these events, there are lots of triggers but many are for the same event, meaning you wont get lots of gearing up unless the Axis are very aggressive.
I need to get over 50 beligerance for the next event to fire, which probably wont happen.

Look below you will see the multiple triggers for the first gearing. The fall of paris, puppeting of china and 35 beligerance are all the same event. Hence it will only fire once. The bonus you get is if Japan puppets China in 1937 or 38 you get the gearing event nearly 2 years early.

According to the events you have got all the gearing you will get until I get to 50 Beligerance. You got the first event 2 years early with China, instead of getting it when paris fell in early 1940.
You got 2nd event when I took the Azores or Iceland, either one would fire it.
You still have two more events that can fire. But they will only fire once German Beligerance reaches 50 then 60.
I hope this helps explain the US gearing event chain. Maybe it has changed since the last patch, but it seems normal to me.
So far you have got the gearings event alot early then you should due to China puppet, and me taking the islands very early. Thats your bonus. And our punishment for being aggressive.
