Xi didn't even need nukes this time

RT56 gives you an insane Iraq focus tree that allows you to just nom up territory. You can legit just cozy up to the franks and brits, and then ask for all their arabian territories. That and a few early invasions of saudi arabia, yemen, and Iran can be done for factories (puppet Iran too much trouble but take arabistan. Do the same with afghanistan and turkey). Then get comintern. Intervened in the spanish civil war, don't really know how I swinged that one but the AI accidentally triggered the Carlist uprising so that could be it. Justify on one of germany's puppets, kill them early. Intervened in the chinese civil war, then attacked japan through them. Arabia has a fuckton of oil so I could just lendlease it while making everything a tank division. I had the player led peace conference but the soviets still somehow nommed up poland and germany. Then I just didn't use it again but for specific uniting of african states.

This was before the US intervened, so we just pushed over the allies. It was just the comintern by 41.

Also Yugoslavia (I gave tito the balkans it was funny) puppeted louisiana it was hilarious.
