I Put a Spanish General In Control of the Soviet Union and Here's How - HOI4

[@BubblesZest]

The original plan for this week was to do Ethiopia/This Time For Africa however it was clear that you guys wanted to see how this was done, that's cool though. That video will have to be done another time, probably next year. Since I do have quite a bit planned this month that I'm looking forward to doing these next few weeks.

[@agsuko2041]

Sounds awesome, your content is genuinely so well done and well explained that I'm always looking forward to an upload, keep it up mate

Valentin Gonzalez has the "brilliant strategist" trait while in real life he was kicked out of the Soviet millitary school for incompetence.

[@mariano98ify]

Let see what is the definition of "incompetence" in soviet russia, there is not weird lack of evidence about Stalin changing his mind amd words about something as someone to fit his own will.

[@emib6599]

The Soviet union wasn't very famous for its meritocracy, so it's possible that brilliant people got removed only for loyalty preferences

[@SMGJohn]

@@mariano98ify I did not know that Stalin personally kicked out Valentin Gonzales from the military academy, do you have a source on that?

[@gabrieljoseozanan6989]

He clearly was the type of guy that learned from practice, rather than from theory! Therefore he learned how to be an strategist on the fly when in the Spanish civil war!

[@big_slurp4603]

lol, seethe more tankietard@@SMGJohn

[@Laza10426]

This actually creates a cool story, Gonzalez takes revenge on Stalin for helping Nationalists by overthrowing him

[@DarthFhenix55]

I imagine the guy being like: "You stole my gold, I stole you the leadership of your country"

[@theoheinrich529]

very based

[@CarlomarioVenturo]

It would be interesting if you play the sanation left branch of poland, i think is one of the most unplayed branches of poland's focus three in HOI4. Great content.

so you could technically get any general to be the leader?

[@BubblesZest]

Any you can get the trait to.

[@carltonleboss]

Now we need Zhukov as leader of the USSR

[@whenyoucantfindaname]

haha tno

[@henrygaylordswanson]

This is really cool. I have a soft spot for Chuykov as I like going right opposition and as you know he is a good general for that. I should put him in charge.

[@johnmortimer1785]

I’m very curious if you know of a way or could come up with a way to get COMECON as the right opposition before your fight Germany? I’ve tried a lot of ways like speeding down Japan as you have to kill a major but this is hard and luck based to me. Do you know of a way to make a easy to defeat major? I’d love to know if you have any ideas. I think this could be a good video too if you want another reason to play the right opposition lol.

[@Phantlos]

u can beat china with japan's help

[@johnmortimer1785]

@@Phantlos Can you puppet communist china then? I vaguely remember Japan then justifying on it. Maybe I should do that and full annex?

[@emperorzhangzhongchang5672]

Nice vid, Is there any way to get Yagoda (Head of NKVD) as leader in Soviet Civil war ?

[@kreavill]

Now do a world conquest

[@BubblesZest]

Been there, done that.

[@Kingkoopa-vn7ej]

If you could do this in the left opposition path you could actually make this viable. I don't think there's a way to murder Trotsky though.

[@fickdieSchufa420]

there probaly is but i dont know if the ai does the assasination while paranoia is active

[@thefarmking9924]

wait so i could get zhukov as the leade

[@UlulvarCape]

Pretty sure yeah.

[@SMGJohn]

Already done multiple times, there plenty of videos on YT for that.

[@someonethatlikesyou7713]

Video idea: as USSR do the right path and hire an exile commander as your leader :)

[@monkeyagentboo2441]

I'm having a problem. When it comes down to Gonzalez and Kliment it always gives Kliment the trait and not Gonzalez.

[@emib6599]

I'm trying to get it, but every time the spanish civil war ends i get nobody. Yes I'm doing the spanish civil war related focus

[@janekk8833]

But what if there is no generals nor admirals left?

[@BubblesZest]

Then you've really messed up, the game will just use a generic portrait at that point.

[@mariodangelo9768]

@@BubblesZest don't generic leaders have randomly generated traits so that could actually be really useful if you save scum enough?

[@thefarmking9924]

i can t get the purge to kill bhukarhin and the other guy

[@BubblesZest]

Stalin will eventually do the Trial of Rights and Trotskyites in early 1939 iirc which purges them both, wait until then if you can't get the purge in the admin.
