The Worst Secret Path In Hearts Of Iron IV

hello gravy Timothy and welcome back to some more Focus to Z or as someone in the comment section really wanted me to say Hocus Focus this is quite literally the series where we look at all the worst paths for Focus trees in heart of iron four and as always not all of the focuses we go down are as bad as the others especially after last episode and know today I think is going to be a nice breath of fresh air for us and that's because we have reached the letter A f f for Finland and it's a magical place where its focus tree is actually pretty good well not all of it which is what we're going to be looking at today obviously but it's still going to be way better than what we just did last episode and you know I'm sure if you watched my last uh YouTube short you already know what we're doing but we will be getting the secret path for Finland and you may be wondering why that's the worst path consider running is a secret one and usually they're the best well that's just the Fig you see for what the secret path requires you to do uh it is definitely very very lacking and the way to the secret path isn't too in dep essentially we just got to keep our current guy in charge and then go all the way down to a new course for the Coco moves and then after we've done that we get the option to bring back the kingdom of Finland uh but obviously before that um we do have to uh not die now worst part is you think you could probably just rush on down to get this over with so you could get the kingdom pretty quickly but no you cannot because you require to actually get construction 4 to be able to go here yeah which means um we'll get it roughly about the time we're halfway through dealing with M stall we're also going to go ahead and spend our points on getting this guy whilst he does actually raise our support for the wrong way uh we do need that Weekly Manpower so we'll do that and then we'll just go ahead and ban vasion all together so we don't have to um deal with that we're also going to go ahead and spend 200 political power points on manaheim who will 100 % be worth it so we're in 1939 and we are pretty much ready for the Soviets to come at least in their first wave I'm building a bit of a for line don't always do this but you know I've got enough Factory so why not okay well here they come and once we could just say yes go ahead take it we're not going to now whil we could go ahead and do the northern defense front which uh would be pretty beneficial for us we're not going to instead we're going to stick with the Lone Wolf as it's objectively worse than the northern defense front all right and here they come we should be able to hold no problem it's not too difficult uh the only issue that always seems to be with the Soviets is their Naval invasions and uh we will get a bit more of a Garrison going later but for now we're just going to have to work with this but yeah we should be able to hold no problem they might push us back a few tiles up here that seems to be what happens every time I play but nothing too crazy and for the Infantry we are using it's simply this 12 whip with artillery AA and some Engineers uh later on when we go on the offensive we'll change that obviously but for now that's all that we need and obviously we went Grand battle panan for the uh the doctrine bonus for entrenchment and then we'll probably switch it to assault later but for now it's perfectly adequate okay now as soon as the Soviets coming on you there are a few things we need to do very quickly like a cry for help which gives us weekly Manpower plus 600 for a whole year very important because we don't have a lot of it uh obviously also want to go up on our conscription and we also have a few things in here like appeal to The Finnish spirit and we really want to get this guy all the way to the right over here for his bonus too which you could do already but I completely forgot to do a moderate politics which gets rid of the debuff that lowers it a lot lot lot lot uh it's it's all right though uh we'll get up there eventually um other than the fact we are currently losing it because uh st's coming in on them and now whil we would like to go ahead and get these guys on the front line uh no they're going to have to Garrison the ports because eventually Mr Stanley will get the bright idea of just wiping me out from the sea there we go 500 guns and then 250 artillery from Sweden which is definitely not equal at all and of course the man power as well which will go nice as we are still going to be recruiting pretty much the whole damn time here to keep the Soviets at back and uh yeah those Gadget e already looking pretty nice okay so I put manaheim in charge for the government for now uh we'll get rid of him later when we need to go back and do our obviously secret Focus but until then uh we're just going to keep holding back the Soviets as you can see they are um not looking too well we could go ahead and push to Leningrad and take it and get ourselves a peace deal with the Soviets but instead we're just going to wait for the Germans to go in and fully capitulate them which is a much better idea yeah I think as soon as the Germans are going to roll in here uh there won't be the Soviets for much longer uh in fact I could probably do a pretty tricky little push here already if I wanted to but again I'm just going to sit and wait why not we're going to get these casualties all the way up there another thing I should have done a while back is all adult serve which yeah it's going to ruin a bit of our production which we don't really need cuz we have a pretty small army but that will give us militarized society which we'll need for later okay won lie Germans are taking their sweet time going in here I think we're actually almost up to a yep we're about to hit a million casualties for the Soviets still they're not taking the opportunity to make the most of this okay I spoke a bit too soon there the Germans literally just went in okay perfect it's time for us to now make a move okay my Mountain Ear are ready they're not fully um the template I want them just yet but they should be good enough for us to actually do a push and take Leningrad oh yeah no problem at all there and the next up we just want to cut all of these units off up here as well and make the most of that like I said we could go ahead and now demand peace negotiation a in fact we actually have we we have two right here but we're not going to click either of them okay after clearing up that we have a pretty good front line over here but the biggest enemy we're really going to have is Supply uh because this is the worst place in the world to fight I'd love to take credit for that one but I think that might have actually been all the German AI I mean in a way I did uh play my part though that was all that was only me I was a distraction yeah I'm not really doing any uh hard pushes I'm just microing pretty much everywhere I can just to get little Circ because I don't really want to take too many casualties here I mean up to 130k already but um yeah don't love more than the Soviets but I still don't want to waste the Manpower we have as it's very limited boys we're making the great breakthrough to the orals right now see if we can't speed this up with the capitulation quite make it to the eurals but I did get myself a nice healthy pocket of Soviet troops over here okay we've still got a way way for the Soviets to capitulate here and uh we do have uh absolutely no Supply so I'm going to go ahead and build ports up here and hope that we can continue the push but yeah it might also help if I actually throw some logistic companies in these bad boys we also get this winter logistics company too so I guess we'll throw that in as well and hope for the best I think sunzo actually wrote about this who said if you have no Supply build a port as it will just give you some he truly had away with worth we got a breakthrough which just going to make the most of it and head straight on down to these VPS and hopefully get a capitulation all right sadly the port strategy uh the sunzo port strategy doesn't work uh Inland as I I I'm trying my hardest sunzo but it won't let me put down a port in the middle of this damn land map a bit further in the uh the UT War there and I found out there's a thing called a land port also known as a supply Hub that's doing the the job quite nicely we are finally breaking into some VPS now and still a while to go it doesn't help the fact that the axes were completely stoed to take I just saw the fall of Rome uh popup happen but then after that I also saw the fall of London popup happen uh Uno reverse oh yeah I also got fed up waiting for them to fail to take Kazan I'm doing it myself can't believe uh they capitulated the UK before getting Kazan uh yeah I don't know what that's about either I'm hoping this will be the last push right now we just need a couple more VP and this should be over with oh my God okay we did it and here comes the fun of the peace conference hey there we go that's not bad at all by this um big German blob in the middle of me okay now that we have finished up with the Soviets we can get rid of manaheim which some people probably don't want to do but um this guy seems happy about it and now we can do a new course for the Coco moves which we we could have done a while back if we didn't put manaheim in but I thought I'd leave this to the end well well to the end till after we beat the Soviets because we are most certainly not done here oh okay that's my bad I uh I thought you could still get the uh the hidden Kingdom of Finland with this guy apparently not so give me a minute see if it ain't a job well done if you've not had to do it twice hey so same as last time except this time we are going to put manaheim in control after we do new support for the C Amos which is great uh by the way we're doing way better this time and now with this guy in charge and we finish a new course for the kookoos we get ourselves the Finish throner Pier which I should have uh done before but you you know you live in yellow cuz sadly this guy dies in 1944 and uh we didn't finish up until 45 so uh Oopsy Daisy I'm sure a lot of you are probably wondering why I consider this to be the worst path for Finland and it's pretty much down to the fact that one it is a secret path that is hidden that you have to get some very specific requirements to even see and two you literally go nowhere else with it this is all it does it will give you the kingdom of FR Finland and that's it technically you can go ahead and get greater Finland on top of it and that adds to it a little bit as we'll see later but this is it uh or should I say technically this is it we are now a maroon burgundy color and we have Prince wolf gang Von hes okay this time we won't get stuck in the great hyper War for kazak again I'll be claiming credit for all of this oh that actually went way better than last time let's see if we can get a better peace conference to go on top of it okay yeah 1943 so we knocked two years off of it and I think the borders are a lot better I mean we got one straight shot with the Germans now because unsurprisingly yes I am not finished here and like I said there is one more thing we can do that kind of changes our secret path of the Finish throne which is doing a greater Finland now because as soon as you now do greater Finland boom greater Kingdom of Finland then you get a nice dark purple which is actually really quite nice uh you know you also get a cool little flag and a couple extra cores on stuff over here but um yeah that's it okay we're spending the time now just preparing by preparing I mean I'm just building tons of Supply hubs everywhere so that we don't face the same issue the Soviets had uh the time we're waiting is great anyway because we are getting up our compliance with the Soviet land which means if we get the 60% we get the Manpower from it like an extra 20% Which we desperately need I think that's enough building up my building up I mean I've just been AFK uh I mean I've been here the whole time definitely paying attention I guess since we didn't do it last time I'm going to go ahead and form the military government and uh now Manheim you finally been called up okay well the Germans are just doing me a favor and attacking my lines which is great I'm just going to sit there while I also push into Norway over here and I was really hoping the AI can actually pick up a bit of the pace here and look at the Italians going for a naal Invasion don't worry about that I'm really hoping they could do something though because I don't have the manpower to be uh just for fronting the Germans here I am doing a bit of micro and getting a few uh little little uh new places for our kingdom but it's uh it's not enough not too sure what the uh the plan was there really okay I got a bit of manow in the back so we're just going to go for a little bit of a push here we'll just see where this goes okay apparently pretty damn far well not bad at all and turkey ended up joining the Allies as well so that's even more pressure it did cost all that Manpower I had though and uh it like we're getting any more oh uh I didn't realize what how did how did nationalist Spain end up at War the axis oh uh none of my business I guess whatever the floats here boat Franco okay question is can we make this final push now and get rid of the Germans I mean the South looks pretty good but the actual German divisions I think I ran over so many of them that we could easily do this things be moving things be moving very quickly unless you're the Allies things don't move there checked how many casualties am I up to right now 764k that is that's a lot I won't lie uh although in all fairness I I've done 6.2 million to the Germans so in any of the game I'd give myself a pad on the back for that but um looking up my manow right now not too sure I again okay just realized we've actually reached Berlin uh some of my units are looking definitely not too healthy but we have made it we can also go ahead and give all this land back to Iran who is our puppet which means we won't have to worry about garrisoning it and hopefully they deal with the remaining Germans stuck on that island cuz I don't want to I don't actually know if we're going to be able to make this final p it is it is down to the wire oh yeah I don't know if I mentioned this but you can also hit these uh little buttons here for refitting your convoys into Cruisers or destroyers they're not very good but if you want some boats I guess you get some boats and uh yeah it only costs uh political power obviously and then convoys and I have a lot of convoys cuz we've capitulated people and I think the Norwegians or is it the Icelandic can also do it but uh yeah I've never bothered cu why would I play either of those Nations we're taking the radical pill here we're taking the garrisons off we're going to put them all in the field and hopefully this is enough he is hoping this is worth it okay there goes the Germans and I'm actually glad it capitulated to the UK there because that means I don't have to Garrison it even though we did turn the garrisons off so doesn't matter and there we go it was quite literally took uh every last drop of blood from Finland to accomplish oh this a little awkward uh I I thought my puppet or the Allies would give the land to uh back to them uh but no they just left the Germans down there you know what I can't even be mad uh I think I probably can be mad about the fact uh I I'm not going to have the manpower to deal with any of this there you go the greater Kingdom of Finland completely formed and looking pointless I made it a little better on myself got my shelf a few puppets I would release the G Germans but um I can't release Germans as I just give it all back to him down here in the capital of band y uh s right I'm sure he he can have fun down there uh but this is the end for our video and what a long and eventful Journey it has been like I said I think the Finish train General is very good I only picked this one as the worst path because for something that's quite secret and out the way there's really not a lot to it but it is a fun little Easter egg regardless and it does have a pretty nice color on the map plus if you want to do the greater Kingdom of Finland I just love the fact it just adds greater to it hey but if you want to keep watching hit the like hit the Subscribe down below and I'll catch you next time on Hocus Focus [Music] oh
