Wow, I've been watching your Achievments guides videos for a week now and you've made me want to play HoI4 (which had put me off, I'm a big EU4 and CK player), especially with your guide to restoring imperial China. I just watched your entire beginner's guide and searched in the search bar for "Bitt3rsteel Qing hOI4" and I see that there are two videos, one of which was released 40 minutes ago! That's a sign!

@@Bitt3rSteel I did it ! I get the achievment. After my fifth run with Manchukuo (I played 40 hours in less than a week lol) I finally managed to reclaim the Mandate of Heaven . On my first run, I followed all the instructions in the video very closely. By my fifth run, I really knew how to play and I, for example, preferred to annex the other Chinese countries militarily because I didn't want to spend too much time annexing them diplomatically. Thanks to you I learned to manage armies, production, trade, technologies, constructions, doctrines. I really only need to improve on division design, navy and a few other things. Finally, regarding the nation played, I loved the idea of making the little deserted and puppet Manchukuo an industrial power and reconquering China in less than ten years. My only regret is not being able to abandon fascism and switch to the non-aligned party since it is also led by Puyi (but not by Xuantong when the Empire is restored) Thanks Bitt3rsteel !

Firing off a few complementary plans for concentric encirclements can absolutely decimated the AI with the planning bonus. The only time GBP has ever bit me in the butt on an AI game is when my Allies/puppets are already pushing a general offensive.

*Edit: I wrote all this based on my tendency to try and rush down Japan quicker than Bitt3rSteel does, before the Japan/Soviet border war* Things I'd add despite being far from a "pro" player, just because I really like the Qing China path and have played it multiple times since NSB: -You could just restart if you get bad RNG on your first (and ideally only) bandit raid since it's not even a year into the game and there is around a 50/50 chance of getting a raid that doesn't really harm you -One of the first things you should do is drill your army up to 25XP and get Professional Officer Corps to start accruing Command Power for the Japanese Arms Depots decisions. If you take it early enough you can have exactly enough to promote Xiqia into a Field Marshal and max out the Arms Depot plan, which gives you a huge temporary bonus and a bunch of equipment you can pop any time you need to. Your Command Power generation is abysmal at the start so shoring it up really helps. Changing to State Serves The Military after you've improved War Support would be fine, but I find you get all the Political Power you need for the factory decision without it. -If you go down the path of quashing the bandits by stationing your army, you could have enough units that Five Equal Peoples becomes viable if you throw Support Artillery and an Artillery Battalion on the Qu Jun template and crank out a few of them/convert a few units into them. But beware getting the Grigori advisor if it would push you below 50% Stability if you do this -Rushing Assertiveness and down to Purge the General Affairs Council is also perfectly fine, since I think the Japanese become motivated to give you more equipment the more autonomous you are, which won't matter at all when you declare war via focus -German support isn't really that worth it to devote Focus time you could be spending on the British/American Air stuff, especially since you eventually lose von Falkenhausen as an Advisor despite keeping him as a General. British/American air focuses are all around more worth it in my opinion, especially since if you do them both you get a pretty decent airforce. -It's shocking how little research you need to beat the Japanese and Warlords. Going full Industry focuses and getting the other bonuses from American, British, Soviet and German support while ignoring the research focuses is totally doable, especially with the free airforces you get from the British, American and Arms Depots focuses -If all you're going for is the achievements, you could honestly just push to defensible terrain in China after taking Port Arthur and Korea and let Nationalist China bleed themselves dealing with Japan in the south. It can have the added benefit of having Communist China turn on the Nationalists during the war and subsequently get stomped by the United Front so you don't need to worry about the Communists joining the Comintern later

Not sure if it has been patched, but I used to use a specific tactic to immediately take out Menguko when they join the war against me. Just park some divisions in their country (area defense doesn't work, I learned that the hard way) and leave them in their country after declaring independence. When they join the war they will instantly capitulate. Then mop up the Japanese divisions, invade Korea and Dailan and the war is over.

You can retake entire China by 1939 which gives you 2 years to prepare for Japan. 1. - First you should research Gun 2, do not screw with the gun production you already have, make a second production line of the same gun 1, you will switch this to gun 2, your original gun 1 will keep producing because it already has maximum efficiency, if bandits destroy your military factory, you must restart or save load. (You can copy the ironman save in your save folder after it autosaves and name it the date it autosaved to, and then if you want to reload that save, copy your ironman save and rename it back to "ironman manchuria" or whatever, keep your other copy) Also, you must save 35 military XP start of the game, delete your entire army, and train one division constantly until you get 4 imperial guards, start building army, you want to use 35 XP to get high command bonus "State serves the military" for extra political power boost, its very important you get it or else you must restart. 2. - Start rushing towards Bolster Nationalism focus day one, you must not hunt or pacify the bandits, this is 9 free level 2 cavalry divisions you get for free and will be used for Korea supported by two or four good divisions later. After you done Bolster Nationalism, you should rush focus to get 4 military factories ASAP, you must keep production high. Remember to save your command points, only get military advisor for 0.30 military XP a day, nothing else, you need CP to take raid Japanese supplies, preferably you want 3 times to raid, this gives you free 10k guns, 500 artillery, if you do 4 or 5 times you get 150 planes and 15k infantry equipment + some bad light tanks that are useless but you waste time waiting for 4 or 5 times. 3. - After you research gun 2 you must make sure to research industry, ignore construction tech its useless to you in beginning, you must increase production and make sure to get dispersed industry and efficiency tech (concentrated is bad, its really bad, only concentrated tech 5 is beneficial but unless you plan to produce a single type of equipment for the entire game, never get it) 4. - When you get 4 x 7/2 imperial guards infantry, you must not change the template, leave this template alone, duplicate it if you want to make your other infantry into this, these 4 infantry divisions are level 5 veterans! They are super powerful and you should not waste them like an idiot! For military tech you should get grand battleplan, do not waste on superior firepower, also do not use it on mass assault even if mass assault is best in the game, its only good when fully achieved, grand battleplan has day one reduction of supply use for military high command, take it! Its important. 5. - After you do this, you only need to take improve worker conditions once, I suggest you must at least have 10 - 15 infantry 20 width or larger on front of Japanese-China, send elite guards to take Arthur port, then send your cavalry to Korea, your Guards should be sent to Korea afterwards, ideally you also have some pure 10 width infantry to put on ports, this way you do not waste too much equipment, Japan never have enough strength in 1938 or early 1939 to naval invade with a big force, when you take Korea, you must rush Korea fast! Force attack if necessarily, you must rush the port, Japan will pour divisions into Korea and destroy you. When you start the war, you must join Chinese faction to be part of white peace, sometimes the white peace bug out and Japan retain land in China and Korea, this is bug, restart or use Xit engine to fix it because Paradox are lazy and this bug existed for 3 years now. Japan is suppose to give you Menguko and China gets Japanese-China, you get Arthur and Korea becomes independent. If you do not join faction, Japan will not white peace you, and this will make war with China much harder. 6. - While you also focus on Korea, you must focus on Japanese-China, here you must make sure to take their only two ports, and also make sure to take Mengukuo capital ASAP and also destroy their supply hubs near Beijing, this will allow Japanese China to collapse right away. If you do all of this very quickly, I suggest not to wait later than mid 1938 because Japan gets extremely strong very quickly for tiny Chinese nation like you, do not bother naval invade Japan, I tried it many times even with 14/4's, you will be destroyed, even if you launch successful naval invasion before declaring war and you land 12 divisions, its not enough, you lack supply and Japanese divisions are too strong. After you kick Japan out of China and Korea and Chinese faction which you are in, white peace, you should now do friendship with Britain focus and friendship with america, to get good bonuses, then, only after you do both friendship focuses, you can go assimilate warlords and get cores on Chinese territory, if you do cores first, Britain focus will be locked, impossible to get 100 diplomatic score with them because you claim Hong Kong, do not do until after! After you puppet most of Chinese warlords, you should start preparing for war with China right away already in 1939 and declare ASAP, China is weak but if you give time, they will become stronger. When you beat China which is usually very quick because they have too many fronts to cover, you should start to prepare for war with Japan, this is easy, spam out many good divisions with artillery, plan naval invasion on Japan, use naval invasion exploit to get as many divisions as possible and prepare wargoal on Japan, after you declare, do one speed and send naval invasion, when time goes by 1 hour, you deselect entire naval invasion, delete their orders, then select other squad of 10 or 20 depending on your technology, to send to the next invasion order, watch one hour go by and repeat this, you want like 60 or 80 divisions to invade Japan, Japanese fleet will take long time to intercept you, you want to do this, before Japan enters any other wars before 1941. Some of your troops will be killed, this is price to pay but thankfully, Qing China have many manpowers and you worry not about losses but you worry that you can micro 80 divisions landing in Japan fast, because you must destroy Japan quickly, alternative you can invade Korea if they are independent, make airbase and use paratroopers to land in Japan, but this method means you spend more IC on planes and paratroopers must be good to not get killed, alternative you can do both if you have time.

It's funny, I do enjoy playing Manchukuo but I actually find them to be extremely easy. Japan is easy to capitulate with paratroopers dropped from Korea when you stab them in the back and if they have pushed back ROC a lot then China will be weak and disorganized, you can plow through territory before they can even form solid defensive lines. I also never pacify the countryside, I let the bandits run rampant for a while so I can recruit them later, you don't sacrifice guns and you get free soldiers. Manchukuo's industrial base is worthless in the beginning anyways no matter what you do so if buildings get damaged then it won't hurt that much. I disagree with building that supply hub in Jehol, let the Japanese military get far away from Mengkukuo as they advance into China and blitz some cavalry straight for the Mengkukuo capitol. Build a railway right to the border, you only need to advance 3 tiles to get their supply hub. If they manage to get a unit or two into the capitol to defend it, encircle it with a few units and whittle them down, it will hurt but much less than all the time spent on that supply hub.

Supply hub in jehol is a waste of time and that boost comes in handy when you are inevitably stuck in a no supply zone in central china

Theory: Factory Output does NOT affect Civs. I tested that by doing the following: - Picked Nicaragua as the country I wanna play as - Without any research I put one civ in the production line. 1929 days to complete. I let a day go by, 1928 days left. - I activated the cheat “research_on_icon_click” and clicked on all concentrated industry research - removed the civ in the queue and repeated the process. From earlier. - Still 1928 days - Same has been done with dispersed industry afterwards My Conclusin: Due to no change whatsoever in construction speed or days till completion, it is safe to assume that factory output does not affect building speed of civilian factories.

I know I'm a bit late but I loved the video, thanks Bitt3rSteel. I managed to get the achievement by following your guide up until your peace deal with Japan. I took out china first, then after Japan puppeted China, took them out again (the peace deal can fire as many times as you kick the Japanese out of china), and with that, I was able to get it. While waiting to integrate my puppets, I also joined the allies in the fight to end Japan and Germany, it was a good time.

Did this today, but after trying this in the historical focus way i just try to restart until japan went communist. Its super easy this way, if you built up a horde army(10 width) at least 70 divions, you can subjugate 3 out of 5 warlords and just flood china. Integrate them afterwards and you are done. Fun thing in my run was also communist japan was joining communist china, but as communist china was the faction leader, i capped both simply by getting their capital

Always is a strong word, and not really appropriate. For SOV you are better with concentrated PROVIDED you don't change production lines, just add new factories to new techs as you research...by 1940 you are at 120% production cap, I was still producing T34s and PPSH in 1943, just stop adding factories as they are constructed and add them to new lines, don't swap production.

If you want to make your 2 research slots count then using 200 days for a 4% research boost is not the way to do it. If we assume that you now get 104 days worth of research for every 100 days of research you do, you’d need to do 5000 days of research to get enough extra days in to break even with the 200 you could have used on something else. With only 2 slots that means you’re waiting 2500 days to break even. I’d save everything but the very first research speed tech for when you’re ahead of time in everything else you care about.
