    In the new peace deal, you can claim ownership of the resources in the Dutch East Indies. This prevents them from gaining autonomy, the need of convoys, and direct access to all resources without spending a single civilian factory.

    One of my first successful campaigns was as Bulgaria and I all but refused to upgrade my planes or boats for most of the game. Ended up having the third-largest navy in the world by spamming out hundreds upon hundreds of the Armed Canoe-Class destroyer (Tier I with basically nothing on it) and its successor, the Fuck The Indian Airforce-Class. The latter had only AA and was build solely to counter a single squadron of Indian CAS that was managing to kill my defenseless ships in the Indian Ocean faster than I could build them. Had no idea what I was doing the whole game but somehow it worked.

    I've noticed with Japan and the Dutch East indies you can beat them with prep. Have the Indies puppeted (I think you have to have this for Malaysia too if you own them, doesn't the focus tree give them wargoals on both?) But you need to have them ready to be annexed as puppets, and the day Japan finishes the focus to get wargoals on them you pause the game and annex them (so you'll need spies in Japan to know exactly when they're going to finish). Can be nice to get to steal the resources.
