Hi guys, here is my updated guide for Japan! (Researches and Focuses are in the description of the video)
Please note that this is a single player oriented guide, the invasions of Siam and the Netherlands would likely not be allowed in a multiplayer game.

So happy to see someone justify on Siam at the start as Japan. Been doing this for years and never understood why other guides don't do this.
I hadn't played this game for almost 3 years before the newest DLC came out, I appreciate these guides so much
Thank you! I'm glad you like them!!
What do you think about the new DLC?
@@MachiavellianStrategist I had a really fun campaign with Fascist Sweden, it made me remember why I liked this game so much. Love the new DLC
@@sjlbean I'll have to give Sweden a try! I haven't tried any of the Scandinavian countries yet!
Great fighter design, I made it while playing as Germany and was trading 3 to 54 in English channel :D, hope the next video comes soon so we can steal your fighter 3 design as well xd, keep up the great work.
Thank you! That fighter design is indeed amazing. Incredibly good stats.
The continuation of this run (going for a full world conquest) is coming soon, but I have some bad news about the F3... You will see in the last episode of the series!
Hello Mac! You planning to do any US or UK guide in the future? There are a few on youtube which is outdated but i like your way of doing guides because they are more fleshed out. If yes it will be dope, nice guide as always, cheers!
Thank you!
I'll make one for sure, as I intend to cover all major countries eventually.
Possibly after the Soviet Union.
It will depend on how much free time I can get during the winter holidays!
@@MachiavellianStrategist Much appretiated mate! Keep up the good work 💪
@@roostrknightmk3099 thank you! More content will be coming soon!
@@MachiavellianStrategistI feel like a U.S. guide would be 2 hours lol
@@ultimatestuff7111 the unedited version would be long for sure!
loved the video it really helped me please keep it up
Thank you for your comment! More content will be coming soon!
great video!
Thank you!!
how are you getting 30 air xp by november? I only got 11 from spain plus exercising to regular
Hire the air adviser too
Somehow my replies to your comments disappear haha. I'll try again:
I did not do anything special, but there is a bit of RNG involved, you may get it a bit later. But do not worry as it won't affect the rest of the run.
You could consider sending some planes to Italy against Ethiopia to farm a little more air exp.
I would advise against doing that as we have higher priorities for our political power early on. But if you prefer prioritizing that, you can of course. It will, however, affect the rest of the run.@@republic0_032
@@MachiavellianStrategistbut there isn't any avaiable airport for Ethiopia no? How can we send airfoces?
@@satoshi.katakuriko hi! Actually I meant sending them to Italy against Ethiopia (although I said to send them to Ethiopia). Ethiopia doesn't have an airforce, but bombers will still get some air experience!
nice video!
Thank you!!
You mentioned in your Germany video that the plane build was 'fixed'. Is the plane design you use here what we should use for Germany too now?
Ah you made a short for it nice
@@infernoz5059 the planes I shared in the short are better for Germany, as range matters less. For Japan I decided to go for this alternative, more range oriented, design!
How do you calculate the exact amount of factorys for every type of equipment?? I always have troubles with that part. If you could tell me the main aspects to do a correct organization I will appreciate that.
Sadly there is no easy way to do that as far as I know. Before making these guides I test the run several times, each time adjusting the production to find the perfect balance.
So what you see in the videos is the result of many hours of tinkering.
Bella guida come sempre, complimenti! Potresti fare una guida sull'invasione navale? Ho problemi a invadere la Danimarca via mare (grazie per tutte le vostre guide)
Grazie!!
Hai problemi solo con la Danimarca o con le invasioni navali in generale?
La Danimarca ha alcuni stretti di mare che potrebbero essere chiusi (come Gibilterra o il Bosforo), forse è quello che ti crea difficoltà?
È una buona idea per una short guide in ogni caso, inizierò a lavorarci!
solo con la danimarca e divenne un impero danese e molto difficile invaderlo ho provato di tutto (marines,ricerca)@@MachiavellianStrategist
wow, davvero? non ho mai visto la Danimarca diventare forte hehe. In che contesto? Stai seguendo questa guida col Giappone? Hai provato a invaderli dall'Olanda o dal Giappone? E che anno e'?@@mimamima7428
Gioco con l'Italia ho provato la tua guida e ci sono riuscito e volevo giocare non storico sono alleato degli inglesi e in guerra contro Olanda, Danimarca e Germania (
imbarco dall'Inghilterra con tutte le ricerche sui trasporti anno 1945)@@MachiavellianStrategist
@@mimamima7428 ah! Ok, in non storico tutto è possibile hehe! Probabilmente hanno le divisioni di tutta l'alleanza a proteggere la costa. L'unico consiglio che mi sentirei di darti è di provare a invaderli da un'altra parte, dove meno se lo aspettano. Oppure di andare via terra con dei buoni tank. Nel late game puoi avere delle armored divisions davvero inarrestabili!
Comunque farò sicuramente una guida sulle invasioni navali. Ma penso che tu non stia sbagliando nulla!
How do you beat china so quickly??? I followed everything you did besides the shanghai naval invasion. You make it look so effortless while Im struggling to break through my lines and my troops have terrible terrible attrition. Is it very necessary to do that Shanghai invasion?
Hi! The second naval invasion is not absolutely necessary, but it helps scattering their divisions around a bit more.
I would say the first naval invasion and the big encirclement in Beijing are the key moments in the war against China.
If you did that successfully, and if you are using my division templates and doctrines, the remaining issue is attrition. Attrition can be really really bad in China, and no matter how good our divisions, you can't push without supplies.
The best way to manage attrition is to make sure your armies have the highest motorization priority and that you always plan every push with a supply hub as goal, and stop right after taking it.
I would also suggest watching the unedited version of this guide, so that you can follow every single step in detail, exactly as I did: czcams.com/video/_1Cpr6OBhJM/video.html
Feel free to let me know if you have any more questions!
@@MachiavellianStrategist thanks, its 1940 and I have good divisions + maxed out doctrines but I just cant seem to shake off the attrition even with infrastructure and micros. Im going to reset tomorrow and try the beijing encirclement, however when I tried the first naval invasion it was hard to push to upper china (towards beijing) and instead I had to use my armies to push through beijing and meet up with the naval invaders. It was kind of hard to make my naval invading army push forward and I almost thought I was going to lose them. But thinking back now I think my problem was that I failed to take the city/port (quadong I forgot how to spell it) with the initial invasion.
Oh yes, taking the port is fundamental for your supplies. Harbors in naval invasions and then supply hubs (and connecting railways) with each push are the way to go. The encirclement in Beijing destroys a good part of their army, making the rest of the war much easier.
Good luck on your next try! Let me know how it goes!@@negan2128
Yo my daily mac n cheese hoi4 youtuber
Hahaha
Hi I have another question how do you have on start 15 military factories? Because I only have 13 on start.
Maybe you are missing the 2 producing planes? They are under the navy production.
While Siam and Netherlands were easy wars I just don't understand how did you push chinese so quickly after the first naval invasion. By January 1938 you already captured two supply hubs you mentioned in the video. Meanwhile when I tried to do the same they deploy like 500 divisions immediately at Qingdao and it take me months to move even 1 tile. I can't do anything even when micromanaging, they just stack endless troops. It's halfway through 1938 in my game and I didn't even reach Jinan
Hi! I tested this run many times and I never had any issues with China (other than struggling for supplies), they have a lot of divisions but they are very weak divisions while ours are extremely good. We can also wipe out a good number of them with the encirclement in Beijing.
However, someone else also posted a comment about struggling with China, so I might make a dedicated video with just the war in China.
Meanwhile, are you using the same division templates and doctrines as me? Playing on regular difficulty? Did you remember to regularly activate the decision to reduce your debufs in China?
One last thing, for this video I also uploaded the unedited version, which you can use to check every step of the war in detail, I would suggest giving it a look: czcams.com/video/_1Cpr6OBhJM/video.htmlsi=5xvqr5M6NmrkAMj1
Let me know how it goes, or if you have any more questions!
@@MachiavellianStrategist Hey, thanks for answering! I restarted the campaign and watched an unedited version of your video. This time I was able to conquer China with pretty much no problems.
I think in the first run I indeed missed some doctrins or I just had a very bad luck :P. Also by the time chinese war started I didn't have upgraded planes since I wasn't able to farm required 18 air points in spanish war.
Second run went much smoother! Thanks for guides and keep up the good work
Thank you! I am glad to hear that!!
There is always a bit of RNG in every run, but overall I found this strategy to be very consistent!@@MajorDryhole
How do you have 15 naval invasion capacity? As far i know "Tip of the spear" had been changed when you recorded the video
I found it😂
It is from the Special Forces Doctrines for Marines, the very first one: "Elevate The Marine Corps" increases the naval invasion capacity by 5! (In case anyone else is struggling to find it)
;)
I think with the new patch, you can't naval invade to the other side of the world anymore, there seems to be a limit. Also, seem like naval invasion is limit to 10 now.
Hi! I don't think the latest patch changed anything concerning our naval invasions (although I haven't played with Japan yet), what kind of limit do you mean?
The naval invasion increase to 15 was obtained thanks to the first special forces doctrine for marines!
can someone explain why he put all difererent clases of hips i nthe different ports, why not just equal them out instead of different classes?
i nthe how to invade netherlands
Hi, we do not need balanced fleets in this case, we just need enough range to cover all sea reagions on the way to the Netherlands. You can probably achieve the same result in other ways too, but I thought this would be the easiest to follow!
Hi whitch upgrades of marines are the best?
Hi!
The first one is the most important for the extra invasion capacity, and I would always pick it with any country that has access to marines, even if you do not plan on using them.
For the rest of the tree I prefer the right side, which is more naval invasion oriented. That is because I personally would not use marines for anything but naval invasions.
This, however, is a matter of preferences and it is situational. If you plan to fight more with your marines, or if you find yourself fighting in tropical terrains and jungles a lot, the left side of the tree offers some great buffs too.
I can see the left side being better for smaller nations in tropical regions, which can benefit more from a small, highly specialized, army.
Right side being better for larger nations, for bigger naval invasions, before switching to dedicated armored offensive divisions.
I tend to like Army Expansion -> State Serves the Military for Japan‘s PP debuff.
I see your point, but I think army experience is a much more valuable currency than PP. Especially later in the game I often find myself with an abundance of PP (even with Japan's debufs), but I never really have too much army experience!
I actually also like the additional daily command power from professional officer corps, since I often use commander abilities!
When i put all ships on invasion support or what its called all my ships went towards siam. so i couldnt get green areas everywhere
Hi! So it is very important that you get green sea everywhere at the same time right when you start the invasion.
- position your ships correctly
- make sure the naval invasion is ready to start
- pause the game and assign all ships to naval invasion support, make sure everything is green
- immediately start the naval invasion and unpause the game.
If your units leave the harbour in Siam it means you were successful, what happens next with the green see does not matter anymore.
You can also check the unedited version to watch these steps more in detail!
Let me know if you can get it to work!
@@MachiavellianStrategist hi, i had all the areas green with the game paused and the invasion was ready but it didnt work for me. And the ships also left again. Maybe i need more range on my ships
@@dogepaz5277 it should not be an issue with range if all areas look green (also, I'm only using default ships with no upgrades), you literally just need 1 second of green sea for the invasion to trigger.
Try to check the arrow for the naval invasion command on your designated army, it should tell you why the invasion cannot be triggered.
do a full uncut run please
I already did! It is currently available only to members of the channel but it will be available for everyone on Wednesday evening!
do you have a discord server?
Not yet! I should probably make one!
It will be the first anniversary of the channel soon and I wanted to make some improvements for 2024, a discord server might be one of them!
@@MachiavellianStrategist forte!
Do USSR next
It's ready! But I'll continue this run with Japan for a full world conquest first! I've never tried one and I think this is the perfect chance!
The updated Soviet guide will be up in a few weeks!
what is "UP" in reseach priority section?
Upgrade. So basically the next tier of the same technology.

comment for algorithm o7
Thank you!!
I deleted my previous comment because I was able to take the Netherlands on my 7th attempt. Ironman Reg difficulty and a very harsh moment. Your guide is excellent. Please continue your great job.Problem was for china to form the "United Front" so they went unnable to be defeated. Dunno why this hapopened on my match.
I'm glad you were successful in the Netherlands!! Congratulations! And thank you!
I belive China always forms the United Front with all other countries in the region, but you only need to defeat the main one to win the war.
