    I forgot to add the files to my drive. I'm currently at the hospital with my youngest and I won't be able to upload the files until we get home. I'm sorry, I'll sort it out later. For now, I recommend you check @antasil for the strategy

    Cant believe pdx still hasnt fixed the greeks and turkish focus trees. Like seriously ? It takes literally 14 lines of code and 8 minutes to do that. I know because I modded it myself. Just hotfix it ffs, they really need a custodian team.
    And the fact that puppets ultimatum dont get sent to their overlord, like for Bessarabia or Albania. Or Yugo in this video as well. For real this would take 1 day of work with 1 dude on it to fix it all.

    If my ally is going to capitulate like Poland might I'd usually put a line of troops on the rail lines I need and on ports so those tiles don't flip and the enemy can't move troops in, then let the enemy capitulate them. Then you can keep holding your line and use a couple divisions on garrison to retake the area behind you and you don't need to worry about the land flipping again while the country is already capitulated.

    Its really nice to see you playing as my fav nation of whole hoi4. If I could recommend, you could get after Hungary also Czechoslovakia so Germany is even more weaker. Then you just hold Slovakia and they´re unable to push threw the mountains. Its just funny thing to see they´re offensive crushing there against your units and in the meanwhile you destroy german units in Poland :) Alsoo you can try to hold Czech lands, make a push and encyrcle all units in Poland. But its almost unable to do (I achieved it once i 7 games so its pretty frustrating :) but the feeling of getting 60 german units encyrcled in 1939 is just the best)

    If i remember correctly, combining the Zveno and NatSoc to get the "Integrate the Ratniks" focus gives you +500 manpower per week in addition to recruitable pop.
    Combine with Prussia of the Balkans for 145% recruitable pop calculators.

    OK, so there is a unique thing that you or your editor do where you quietly start outro music ahead of the end of the video which is weirdly eerie if the video doesn't seem to be coming to an actual end. I've noticed it before but this time the end wasn't even an end...it felt more like the end of Empire Strikes Back, where things are on a cliff hanger...

    Watching this video as someone whose extensively played Fascist Fate of the Balkans Bulgaria has certainly been interesting since I am quite familiar with Bulgaria. For example, at 3:02 you mention about the worrys of Zveno staging a coup, but I can tell you from experience that it is pretty much impossible to have them coup you. I crush the socialists first, then integrate Nationail socialist movement, then Agrarian Union, then Zveno. When you're about a third of the way to fixing Zveno the coup timer may pop up, but every time you do another decision supporting the Zveno the coup timer gets extra days added to it, making it impossible for it to fire unless you want the coup to happen.
    I dont crush NSM because I want the advisor, I don't crush Agrarian union because I also want the advisor (sometimes- the NSM is superior obviously for -5% consumer goods)
