Japan is located in the far east of Asia. The signing ceremony of the Act of Capitulation took place on September 2 aboard the United States Navy battleship USS Missouri (BB-63). After several days of backroom negotiations and failed attempts to destroy the stockpiles of biological and chemical weapons of Unit 731 in Manchuria, which were captured by Soviet paratroopers, and the collapse of the Kwantung Army, in August 15, Hirohito addressed the nation by radio and announced the surrender of Japan. The total shock of these events forced Emperor Hirohito to intervene and compel the big six to agree on the terms of ending the war, taken by the Allies in the Potsdam Conference. Only hours later, the Americans dropped a second nuclear bomb on Nagasaki, destroying a small portion of it. Late in the evening of August 8, according to the Yalta agreements, the Soviet Union declared war on Japan, and shortly after midnight on August 9, attacked Manchukuo and Mengkukuo. On August 6, 1945, the United States dropped a nuclear bomb on Hiroshima, flattening the center of the city. After invading China, Japan struck southwards, invading and conquering British Malaya and the Dutch East Indies (Indonesia), in hopes of securing their resources, followed by an invasion of the British Raj. In 1937, after the Marco Polo Bridge Incident, Japan declared war on China, beginning the Second Sino-Japanese War in which Japan invaded and conquered much of eastern China, installing additional puppet regimes along the way, including Mengkukuo and the "Reorganized National Government of the Republic of China". Some consider that World War II actually began with the invasion of China by Japan, first by taking Manchuria and installing their puppet the Manchukuo regime. Japan was the leader of the Axis powers in the Pacific Theater. On the other hand if pro-german or radical factions unify China then Japan will be pushed out of China.įor a bigger rework Germany/GEA could be given a much bigger role in China to counter Japan and anti-concessionists.Neutral(1936), Greater East Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere(1939) This is longer and more expensive path, but can lead to China in Prosperity Sphere without war. Japan has to invest and slowly improve it's perception in eyes of Chinese people, help to unify China while sidelining radicals like LKMT and pro-Germans like Zhili. In Path of Cooperation the goal is to build China into an ally:
Japan can take various aggressive actions in multiple Chinese states like forcing concessions, unequal treaties etc.There is 'Japanese Aggression' variable.In Path of Aggression the goal is to conquer and exploit China to the furthest extent: Japan can choose between 'Path of Aggression' and 'Path of Cooperation' If Japan can only intervene in certain cases then Japan campaign might feel limiting to a player, but Chinese tags are playable - not a good solution, but a lesser evil.Ĭurrently there is no easy way out of this, but for a rework I'd suggest something like this:.If Japan can easily invervene in China then people playing in China have a big problem.Again, I know it's not ideal, but this is the only complaint we've had so far about the way this operates, and we had a whole heap of them when Japan was able to go to war in China whenever it felt like. If Fengtian begins to lose, stalemates, or you goad them into betraying you, yeah. I've picked Support Warlord Allies focus before, according to focus tree Burh to Ash can work with it, but I'm not sure how it's supposed to work, since having to manually justify CB is not something which I ever saw in KR.ĭoes it only happen if Fengtian starts to lose war with Qing or I'm missing something? Operation Ichi-gou focus causes war with them, but I can't take it before Burn to Ash Strategy, so the only way to get Burn to Ash bonus is to manually justify war on Sichuan Clique. In my game as Japan, Fengtian defeated Beijing government on it's own, when I reached Buth to Ash Strategy focus it has strange requirement - I have to be at war with Sichuan Clique (which I presume is strongest faction in China except Fengtian), if I don't meet this condition I can bypass this focus and get no bonus.
