Hearts of Iron 4 Challenge: HERO - HITO Japan saves the world

hello everyone I am Toria and welcome to another one of my hunts van for challenges this time we're going to pass Japan I haven't done that for a while and I really wanted to try to pan again but it's not just going to be a normal game as Japan that would be pretty easy now we're going to limit ourselves we're going to change Hirohito into a hero he'd oh yes it's a dad joke what does that mean well we play as Japan but we're only allowed to attack the people that are aggressors so we can attack Germany we can attack the Soviet Union we can attack Italy and but we can't attack for example France we can't attack China unless we are attacked ourselves what does that mean for us in practice well we're not allowed to attack China we're not allowed to taxi em well I do enjoy it I can see a man moving to the Middle East from the hares Japan we cannot do an early attack on the United States and take the move and get all their factories we're not allowed to do any of these things we're going to destroy the threat of fascism and communist regular difficulty I'm and multi-store focuses oh let's go I'm in Japan 1 there are a few ways we can do this and the most straightforward one is to just attack of the Soviet Union sounds easy right yeah we're going to do that first but we need to plan things out properly another requirement is we want to make you eater the hero of the world so he has this stay in charge which means we can for example strengthen the civilian government because that will remove him from power although that would be quite helpful because we could just join the eyes this way so we have to either purge or support decoder half action I am leaning towards supporting them and the S we are going to use bicycle battalions eventually let's start by supporting the coda of action we're going to have to focus all our production on inventory equipment I will keep three factories dedicated to motorized support and artillery and we will be expanding that or later but for now we're just going to be using pure infantry once we can get enough support equipment we can switch to bicycles because they do require support equipment as for construction we're going for civilian factories so now going to be doing free trade which means we'll have to buy some resources and you'll need those factories for that as for research I'm going to switch to the superior firepower doctrine and do some other and generic research in the meantime we start with sixty units and we can also request a song from our puppets so our army is decent let's request all the troops from our puppets also we need to justify a war go on the Soviet Union I don't remember if we can do that one as non-aligned I think so but I'll do it while we're still fascist just in case because the take claimed state war goal does not expire and supporting to cut our affection and puts Hirohito in more power essentially and we become non-aligned instead of fascist go now we are the Japanese sugar nut we're going to become the Empire of Japan by doing Java restoration but there can await a bit and let us challenge at the zaibatsu young officer coup now Hirohito has much more power than he used to also Japan has an interesting mechanic of rivalry between the Navy and the army if you know my place though you will know that I'm going to be favoring the army of course and that gives us quite a lot of nice things like free men power and factories but first let's use that political power to get a silent work cause as soon as we can also we're going to be closely observing the Soviet Union because we wanted to attack them once they've done the purge know what assignment we're course we can get a decent amount of political power and get all the good bonuses especially free trade now as their BOTS is done we're going to pursue the next research thought all the way down to spiritual mobilization which is a very powerful modifier so also I've installed my new knock your phones in my computer so the cooling noise issue should not be a problem we'll see soon and I've automated everything so I don't have to manually check if the system is not overheating our justification on the circuit Union is complete but as it is a claimed state it will not expire so we don't have to worry about that I'm producing a lot of infantry equipment so that's fine and we're just going to be training these guys the basic infantry but later on I'll be switching them into better infantry which will eventually make into bicycle battalions now national research policy for the extra research thought the Japanese focuses aren't quite mean because this lets us go to war economy and this lets us go to full mobilization and we will lose some empire from that but we can get it from other sources it's begin which I should have done that a while ago we can now prioritize steel for guns which is gives us a for factories for free also we will be favoring the army which further buffs us and we can switch to free trade this is going to reduce our resources a little bit but it increases factory output and research let's buy steel from Manchu comes gonna be cheaper and perhaps from the UK I could actually buy much less steel because I don't really need to build up the Navy and most of the steel is going there that's it's fine I must go for Imperial Arsenal's and they haven't started the purchase yet we will want to have supremacy over will before we start fighting but for now we can focus on getting some more factories and training up some new units I'm going with pure infantry for now because we will have some trouble maintaining supply of support equipment if we go with anything else and of course let's train them up you'd probably pay some attention to the generals we have two field marshals at level 4 but we do have a level 5 general let's promote him and make him our Field Marshal aggressive assault er charismatic and I suppose offensive doctrine I said maybe organization first would have been better we'll see in a moment and some generals for our armies we don't even need to use puppets manpower because we have so much we're also going to be doing indiscriminate conscription which gives us extra 2% manpower what Imperial Osnos done we can move down here and then focus on army expansion I think I think I'm timing this right I might be wrong not really have time to get any research buffs now also we'll have to just get an infantry expert and then logistics expert I think yes let's join the anti comment in fact as you can see my research choices are pretty generic cavalry is faster but it won't get the bonuses so I'm going to switch you into the infantry units we'll keep the tanks and motorized divisions for now but once they ran out of equipment we'll be switching them over as well let's check on the Soviets oh they're doing the purge already damn it I wanted to do spiritual mobilization oh we can do that later that's fine let's do army expansion along because we want to have supremacy of will complete and let's get an army logistics expert I'm going to be assigning my air wings to armies to avoid aerial management our guys are pretty much ready time to send them to the frontlines and I'm running out of manpower because it's demobilizing due to total mobilization law but I'm about to do here this indiscriminate conscription which will fix that supremacy of will unfortunately I was a bit late with supremacy of will should have started doing army modernisation before I did national defence but it's fine and we'll get the bonuses a little later actually I can wait with declaring the war until the bonuses are in place it won't make that much of a difference the Great Purge is it done and it is a good moment to attack the Soviets now however then we will have supremacy over well in a month so let's wait for that and also hire an army morale expert we attack in a week perhaps I should have attacked immediately after the purge my supremacy of will is giving a large bonus and I've decided to go aggressive on all units must declare war on the Soviet Union and they will get the event that's offsets the purge but not completely and I modify on the processes a bit yeah going aggressive on everyone and let's see how that works out but first I'm going to do spiritual mobilization ok let's go I've called Mongolia good 10:02 now if I am estimating this right we should have the upper hand to the extent that we'll be able to get far into the Soviet Union before they recover from the purge of course they are getting the Great Patriotic War modifier and which gives a motivating organization but the purchase effect more than just that so hopefully we can still benefit from the fact that we have our nice modifiers and they have negatives or alternatively you could have just wait until the Germans were at war with the Soviet Union which would have made this whole endeavor quite easy but if we can get them before that well that is wonderful I should and support artillery to this template going more or less fine wonder how far we can get into the Soviet Union before they can mobilize a proper defense squashing some Soviets in here let's virtual mobilization done we can do on the show restoration okay good try out some Soviet forces down here and we can make some of our generals into infantry experts which will help quite a lot yeah okay the pockets of resistance down here have been dealt with now let's send those troops that we need now freed up to this part of the front line and move towards Iraq in the meantime I'll go to extensive conscription let's see the casualty balance we've killed twice as many Soviets as we've lost our own troops although I am going aggressive if we were balanced or cautious and the balance would probably have been better I'm hoping to get past Mongolia and tan Tuva before you know the resistance grows in strength how's our equipment situation mmm fine although our stockpile of infantry equipment is decreasing rapidly Mongolia has taken care of focus your attacks before they can retake the territories they've lost a Republican Spain has won the Spanish to the war and that should make it a little bit easier to beat up Germany later on let's improve worker conditions should have done that a while ago and also hire a war industrialist while we still have extra infantry equipment let's do the muncher in the army focus hopefully the soffits cannot mount a proper defense before I am way further in their territory you know what I could have done perhaps it would have been better if we left man shook out of the war and only attacked four men cuoco tentative has capitulated then we could just press here very heavily and cut off half of the Russian forces down here possibly let's see how many we've lost and how many they've lost the losses are almost the same that is not good and the losses we are taking are much heavier than I anticipated perhaps going aggressive from the start was a mistake perhaps we should have gone balanced or even cautious but what's done is done let's see if we can make this work but we do control a large chunk of territory now if we can keep up the pressure we'll be fine and we have joined the axis now I could call the Germans in I could call the Germans in but I don't have to also the Chinese provocations I'm not sure if I in talked to you about that already anyway they blow factories up and stuff like that and I can mobilize the troops together and go to war or suffer some negative consequences if I'm mobilized in the troops I don't have to use them so this is the best option Oh France who called into Germans yeah whatever it's fine at least multi bent upon that take effect probably should not have done that focused am i mm I thought they were not going to be called in yeah well I suppose I can do the northern resource area yes actually when they attack Poland that might actually be in my best interest because they'll put on some pressure on the subs Union from the other side Joseph vodka has also missed Italy what you're doing now sounds like a war wonderful pollen joins the Allies all comment and that can actually change quite a lot how's our equipment situation not a great part except aboard start producing of the better infantry guns yeah I wonder maybe German involvement will actually be good for us we fought so much we've lost so much manpower in equipment and that we will surely have the upper hand in the peace negotiations whatever happens so maybe this will actually turn out for the best Germany is sending us Linley's yes please and so all the Americans must do small arms modernization get the best guns out of that house the siberian frontier cold very very cold and not change location we're not going to do anything all right all right what's going on Dagobah is the joins access Poland refuses German ultimatum and Germany attacks Poland come as challenge on two common turn and Poland Jones common tone well that an interesting development that we've caused so as long as we get the Soviet Union that's fine as Germany at war with the Allies as well it is not not yet should actually work out in our favor we have exhausted the Soviets so they should be unable to resist an attack from us and the Germans on the other hand Poland should have some Soviet troops to defend it here making noise progress how's the logistics on equipment we're almost out of our stop out on integer equipment but we still have a little bit we're not going to do bicycle battalions for a while not in this war so this can wait we will do them against the Germans though let's work on the Manchurian project bond has capitulated Luxembourg okay like simple joins Comintern by the netherlands have joined allies no we have Germany on our side against the Soviet Union and that should help a lot can I get to Moscow before the Germans probably not but the Germans do have quite a lot on their hands wait meant is that Franz getting into Germany well that is surprising well maybe our mission of beating up Germany will be made easier by making either via the Soviets who knows but I do think the Germans will push back eventually we managed to encircle summer so it troops here what's our participation 77% that's good as long as we're over 50 we'll be able to get most of the stuff some of our troops were too aggressive and they got encircled that is very unfortunate let's try and rescue them the follow of Kiev well good Franz is holding on but that is not my problem you might be about to encircle these guys good do that well if it's working it's working I'm not gonna argue with a good thing the Germans are about to get to Moscow I do worry that they might overcome my war score no I don't think that will be a problem we should still have more let's research some support companies we're going to be using them later against Germany follow the Moscow Oh No there's got separated that's horrible France still stands actually that might be helpful too I might go against Germany immediately while France is still standing Stalingrad should be next it's a pity that the Germans are taking most of the interesting places down here but we did take a lot more territory and it is reflected in our war score should we just do a beeline for Stalingrad let's try that what is your capital you know it doesn't matter what your capital now is let's just take a few more provinces because they're about to capitulate yes yes there are 100% wars capitulation and right peace conference we have more war score than the Germans do we need to try and block them from taking anything significant let's see if we can do that in the first round if not I might always puppet as this Soviet Union and annex it a little bit later so what we need to do is cut the Germans off from direct contact with their territory thus the Germans will be unable to take anything let's see if this is an option for us a little bit too much all right we've cut off the coasts they will likely focus on taking Polish land so even if we miss some bits in central Russia now that's fine let's end the turn right the Germans have taken half of Poland but that's okay because I'm gonna take the rest right all of Poland they're not going to be puppeting it and they have no direct access to this territory thus all the Russian stuff will be ours also you guys asked me to do some campaigns without shadow puppet thing so we're not going to do shadow puppet Inc and this one okay let's connect our territory we can't connect our territory yet and turn now the Germans should be unable to in and take anything else let's see if that indeed is the case they've probably luck some oh I forgot about Luxembourg okay did they just give me all the war score well that's nice of them then let's take all your territory and that is the end of the Soviet Union now Germany your time has come and that there's a lot of factories isn't it okay now we're going to have to fight a Germany should we do it now while France is still alive or should we do it later I feel like doing it now might be the most beneficial to us what I'm going to want to do is switch all my troops to bicycle battalions promised you some bicycles against the Germans didn't I no with the Soviet industrial might in our hands we will be able to provide our troops with sufficient equipment and finally do bicycle battalions once we're done with those we'll be able to attack the Germans with all our bicycle might let us get our troops on the German border and get them some bicycles hungary has joined and the axis I didn't really expect Germany to join back then but it turns out to be a great development for us because France still stands thanks to that most likely I'm going to switch all the units to this basic template and then I'm going to be switching it to bicycle divisions are we doing on equipment oh you want to befriend Japan no what we're going to do is a leave the axis goodbye Adolphe and what we're also going to do let's get a war go on them it is time to save the world because Hirohito is just like Flash Gordon savior of the universe yeah I'm not gonna be quick enough to beat up and German before they take France still that's not gonna be too much of a problem for me learn to do manchurian the railroads and stuff because no that's not let's do construction and repair we have a lot of stuff to repair and now that we can use bicycle battalions well what we're going to do is switch all our guys into bicycle infantry which is just faster it's my cavalry but they do get all the infantry bonuses so with that is just amazing we'll make them 20 with all of them I'm also researching signal and logistics companies for them but I started that a little late so those are not ready yet they're still waiting for support equipment do I have enough support I do not have enough support equipment for them maybe I should not have made all of them into maybe I should not have made all of them into bicycle infantry and but we'll get that support equipment already soon time to get to Berlin my friends time to go to Berlin yeah they're only at 60% strength because I switched him into bicycles that might actually become a problem soon but I am producing a support equipment is very aggressively yeah we're ready to attack now there are German units in our territory though should I wait for them to be out of our territory or should I dedicate one army to mopping them up I should probably dedicate one army to mopping them up in the meantime no no not Communist China oh wait a minute yeah we're not attacking China we're attacking Germany let's go you need to take one of these armies out of the German frontline and just tell them to deal with all the German pockets and that have appeared in our territory due to them retreating what we're done with them you can rejoin the fight Italy has been called in not a problem I wonder if I can save France the Allies would appreciate that wouldn't they and yes we are the savior of the universe we're going to and get non-aggression pacts with the eyes and let them into our territory bicycles are wonderful they really are aren't they so fast they get all the strength of infantry with all the speed of fur cavalry they're essentially cavalry with infantry bonuses which is very significant actually and yes we're going to be friends with all the eyes you can get into our territory we're not going to be aggressive we we are friends friendly Japan and Soviets anime yeah I think France will surrender soon no matter we are almost in Berlin the German might cannot stand against bicycles it's like having motorised without having to pay for motorised let's add logistics companies France has capitulated well that is unfortunate I'm staying on aggressive house or equipment situation not great but getting better need more steel and right I was buying it from France of course France is no longer a thing about him is still a thing though we save the Belgium for now signal companies are researched that's ads of them as well yeah I probably should have waited a bit and only attack the Germany after you know having buffed my units a bit yeah actually let's do all the resources stuff they want to use them will sell them should have attack the mirror there yeah took me a bit too long to attack Germany Hungary has been taken care of though and that is something researching the highest level of infantry equipment I suppose I could be gentle let's not waste Portico power Slovakia has been taken care of even though I went down to balanced we're still making progress sorry about today Berlin it would seem so yes yes we are Japanese bicycles in Berlin nine million bicycles in Berlin that's a fact well not 9 million but you know alright the progress is much better than I anticipated I am really in awe of those bicycle regiments Yugoslavia is because I joined allies alright let's monitor Romania Iron Guard the wittman independent state of Croatia that is bordering me and there's a dedicate some troops to dealing with it how far is Germany from capitulating not too far all right Adolphe um haven't you had enough submit to the Emperor independent state of Croatia capitulated ok there's a bit of Italy here ok I'll take care of that come on do you have any significant victory points I should still take no Munich there we go that should be the end of Germany there it is Germany has capitulated to Japan now that we have beaten Germany time to adjust our orders a little bit and go after Italy all those readjusted the time to go cycling through the mountains know that Germany is no longer in the picture this should not be too difficult but we should act quickly otherwise Italy will be able to get a big defensive force down here but acting quickly is the specialty of those bicycle divisions even through mountains I am really really unlocking those bicycle divisions and not a Chinese provocation but we are bigger than that we are not going to succumb to mium provocation just get down to Rome essentially a bicycle division is just like normal infantry with all its strength and I do find infantry to be the most effective units in the game however it is much faster it is essentially motorized without having to waste production on motorized equipment and it still gets all the bonuses of regular infantry which are significant especially from inventory experts and although like time to readjust these orders here a little bit as well we don't need to be securing the border with France we're friends we're importing the French food which is amazing and we're exporting anime of course get going and finish off Italy Oh finally research the best guns but yeah they're not going to be necessary can I get you guys to Messina and Palermo if I can that is going to be very helpful in making Italy capitulate and finally Italy has capitulated them and we are going to be able to get quite a lot now one problem is I promised not to use shadow puppet in didn't I yes I did promise to not use shadow puppet in which is a which is unfortunate because it would really be helpful here still I could use normal puppets but let's not just take the territory ourselves the northern coasts are going to be very helpful now we control all of this territory so it's going to be relatively cheap for us to take it and no border Gor this time this is as much as we can take in the first round let's end the turn what have you done you've liberated Ethiopia and Libya well in that case I'm going to pass and you've also liberated Libya should I pass again I should and you've taken some territory for yourself well I expected you to be benevolent and release people but that's apparently not the case time for me to step in and take stuff what have you done you've taken Albania Easter is going to remain Italian that is unfortunate that is it for the piece convert of course I would have been able to take more if I was allowed to do puppet or shut about the people well I was a lot to puppet people but I didn't want to and there you have it we have defeated that the Comintern and the axis single-handedly not moral we have beaten all the aggressors in the world and rid the world of fascism and communism well maybe apart from Communist China but China has this well in hand well there are still a few communist states that we could attack but the requirement of the challenge was to defeat at the axis and the Comintern and we have done that the Empire of Japan now spends most of Asia and half of Europe so you know there you have it 1940 we could easily proceed to a world conquest if we wanted to but that was not the goal the goal was to make our Emperor the savior of the world and turn a Hirohito into hero heater and that is it for the challenge and I wanted to say I really really love bicycle divisions right we're going to end here let me know in the comments what you thought about this little campaign and what you would like to see next in the challenges Department and I think what I'm going to be doing is really spectator videos during the week and challenges on the weekends as I explained in the previous videos I can't do two challenges a week might also livestream how it seems that life streaming might be actually hurting my channel in the YouTube algorithm so I might have to not do that which is a pity because I enjoy it quite a bit what else is there to say if you would like to see more of my challenges there is a link to a playlist in the description and make sure to let me know in the comments what you would like to see next thank you for watching and I will see you soon goodbye
