中华民国的国旗 中华民国(China),是一个位于东亚的地区性大国。虽然它不是七大主要国家之一,但由于它领导着抗日民族统一战线,使它最终总是将成为一个大国。它北面与 日本的国旗 日本及其傀儡国 蒙古国的国旗 蒙古国满洲国的国旗 满洲国接壤,西部与 西藏的国旗 西藏相邻,西南与 英属印度的国旗 英属印度接壤。中华民国在收回其核心领土后也可能与 联合王国的国旗 联合王国葡萄牙的国旗 葡萄牙法国的国旗 法国接壤。 由于中国被军阀割裂,中国的大部分核心领土都属于军阀集团,南部有 滇系的国旗 滇系集团和 桂系的国旗 桂系集团,西北部有 新疆的国旗 新疆集团,北部有 西北三马的国旗 西北三马集团和 没有结果集团。它还与北部的 中共的国旗 中共接壤,两国都在围绕中国内战展开活动。

这个国家由于内战和政治冲突而四分五裂,从表面看起来很脆弱,这让这个国家很容易成为日本人的猎物。然而,中国拥有第二高的基础人口3.404亿(一旦中国团结起来,这一数字将增加到更高的水平)和巨大的发展空间,中国可以争取时间,好好利用时间。如果他们能够克服他们的矛盾,团结一致,中国就可以把日本的进攻变成一个危险的绞肉机,以消耗日本的人力,并使自己成为一个与其他世界大国不相上下的强国。

历史背景

中华民国的历史始于1912年辛亥革命成功推翻清政府之后所建立的共和国(即中华民国),辛亥革命的成功与中华民国的建立象征着统治中国两千年的封建王朝的结束,两千年来存在过许多封建王朝但最终都不可避免的走向王朝更迭。清朝(也称为满清王朝)是中国最后一个封建王朝,其从1644年统治到1912年。

新成立的共和国在建国后经历了许多磨难并且内忧外患。这导致其中央政府无法完全控制国家,导致乌梁海边疆地区(蒙古和西藏)从中国分裂出去,成为“事实上”独立的省份,而这些省份通常由不听中央政府号令的军阀统治。更糟糕的是,西方列强和日本继续维持他们在清朝时期为强迫贸易和剥削而划定的“势力范围”。

1928年,在北伐战争结束后,蒋介石在名义上统一了“国民党”(又称中国国民党),开始了工业化和现代化建设。然而,共和国仍然充满了冲突,因为国民党政府竭力控制军阀( 没有结果滇系的国旗 滇系桂系的国旗 桂系西北三马的国旗 西北三马新疆的国旗 新疆)集团的存在;在与新生的 中共的国旗 中共进行内战等等。

1931年9月18日, 日本的国旗 日本的关东军在后来被称为“九一八事变”中,以侵略中国东北为借口,发动迅速占领中国东北的行动,并于1932年建立了傀儡国 满洲国的国旗 满洲国。接下来的几年里,一段相对和平的时期接踵而至,直到1937年卢沟桥事变后, 日本的国旗 日本的全面入侵打破了和平。国民党和共产党放下互相敌对的行动,组成了抗日民族统一战线。第二次中日战争从1937年卢沟桥事变一直持续到1945年,继广岛和长崎原子弹爆炸和苏联进攻 满洲国的国旗 满洲国的关东军之后,日本宣布无条件投降。然而,中国内战几乎立即重新爆发,第二次国共内战的主要战役从1946年持续到1950年,当时共产党军队控制了中国大陆,中华民国退到台湾。时至今日,战争虽已停止,但和平条约却从未签署,中华人民共和国和中华民国都声称自己是全中国唯一合法的政府。

主条目:中国国策树

中华民国的国旗 中华民国唤醒勇虎 唤醒猛虎 DLC中获得了一个独特的国策树。在没有该DLC的情况下,中国将使用通用国策树

中国地方军阀通过“中国的权利斗争”这一决议取代中华民国南京政府的,并且宣布自己是合法政府的,也将沿用这一国策树。

科技

中国一开始只有一战时代的技术,只有两个科研槽。它还可以从国家重点中再获得三个科研槽:“扩大中国科学院”、“化学研究所”和“农村学校”。虽然第一个额外的科研槽很容易获得,但其余两个需要相当大的努力才能解锁,尤其是“农村学校”,它至少需要8个国策(而且可能更多,因为这些国策中的大多数都会造成或加剧通货膨胀 ,只有完成其他国策才能降低通胀)。

政治

1936年的中国是一个分裂和衰弱的国家,饱受国民党内部斗争、军阀主义和共产党随时可能接管的威胁的困扰。除了国民党中国本身,还有几个中国军阀(specifically 滇系的国旗 滇系, the 桂系的国旗 桂系, 晋系的国旗 晋系, 西北三马的国旗 西北三马 还有 新疆的国旗 新疆) 也控制了中国的部分地区,把国家分成几个相互敌对的小派系。中国开始与 中共的国旗 中共正在准备战争, 与此同时他北部的 日本的国旗 日本很可能在1937年年中入侵。中国的另一个外交问题是它的民族精神,“共产主义起义”,如果共产主义的支持足够高,将导致一个随机的国家转向共产主义中国的控制。这是一种非常有害的民族精神,因为失去一个国家意味着失去资源、工厂和人力以及其他严重的惩罚。

唤醒勇虎 唤醒猛虎中,中国不再以“共产主义起义”开始;相反,它必须与中国的权力斗争机制抗衡,在完成某些全国性的关注后,共产党和军阀能够利用 Political powerpolitical power 争夺对中国的领导权。共产主义中国也有能力渗透和发动起义,并夺取对这些国家的控制。此外,中国开始有额外的,破坏性的民族精神,严重降低其整体作战效能。这些需要耗时的军事和官僚改革,通过国家重点和决策来消除。

策略和指南

China starts off right in the middle of the Century of Humiliation and is still laboring and suffering from its effects, with corruption and incompetence hampering its governmental, military and industrial performance. In addition to that, China is also threatened by 日本的国旗 日本 and will most likely only have around a year to prepare before war breaks out.

Thus, China will have to focus heavily on industrial build-up in order to allow it to properly equip and outfit its military to defend against Japan. Taking "Unified Industrial Planning" first is arguably the best choice for national Focuses, since "Expand the Academica Sinica" is available immediately after, which unlocks an additional research slot, allowing you to put more effort into both Industrial and Electrical research. The National Focus "Invite Foreign Investors" grants two civilian factories (which cannot get damaged) and if you can conquer the 晋系的国旗 晋系 clique, the "Taiyuan Arsenal" and "Develop the Hanyan Arsenal" will grant additional military factories..

关注军队

China also suffers from the Nation Spirit "Army Corruption", applies an immense -50% penalty to all division attack and defense, making China's military very ineffective in combat. This makes China's military so weak in fact, that when taking into account Japan's division templates this means that a force of comparable Chinese units might still lose a battle even when outnumbering the Japanese. You are essentially sending your men into a fight they are not likely to win and the only military strategy that China is capable of pulling off at this stage, given its incompetent leadership, is sending in its disorganized units en masse and relying on its massive army to win the day. Significant casualties are to be expected for your soldiers and it may very well be that China's rivers will have to run red with the blood of their sacrifice if China is to have any hope of an independent future.

But there is, however, hope. Even though China's units cannot match Japan's in battle, it is possible to compensate for that by bringing in a bigger stick to the fight. That bigger stick is Artillery; Artillery is quite affordable for China and grants a significant increase to both Divison Soft Attack and Hard Attack. If you place enough Artillery in a single division, you can actually increase its firepower to the point where, even with the penalty, you are able to hold your own against Japan through raw numbers alone. As such, mass-producing and equipping your units with Line Artillery can give your army units the necessary bite to allow them to more easily compete with Japanese units until the Army Corruption national spirit can be removed. In addition to regular Artillery, adding in Anti-Tank and Anti-Air artillery can also be very helpful for dealing with Japanese Tanks, Trucks and Planes, evening the odds in battle.

附加提示

  • For early division changes:
    • The Sanjiao Jun infantry can be expanded to 7 infantry battalions right away. From here, it can branch in two directions (or some of each):
      • 8 Infantry, 1 Artillery, 1 Anti-Air, 1 Anti-Tank can counter tier 2 light tanks, and help with the swarms of planes Japan will bring while also having the firepower to oppose enemy Infantry.
      • The standard 7 Infantry, 2 Artillery packs significant Soft Attack against enemy infantry and also has a fair degree of Hard Attack for dealing with Tanks and Trucks, making it a good workhorse for general use.
    • The Juntuán garrison infantry can be expanded to 5 infantry battalions, for an even 10 combat width.
    • The Qibing Jun cavalry can be duplicated:
      • The original Qibing Jun can then be expanded to 5 cavalry battalions, for an even 10 combat width. They can be given support artillery later.
      • The duplicate can be named Xiàn Bīng (Military Police) and left at the default 4 battalions for use later with an MP support company to root out resistance. Highlight the name and copy+paste it into the game to make life easier.
    • It can be tempting to research mountaineers, but considering China's small number of research slots, and the limited number of battalions for special forces available, it results in a very small payoff.
    • When using the Mass Assault Doctrine, the -0.4 combat width for infantry will allow considerable additions later in the game.
      • Alternatively, if one wishes to rely heavily on Artillry, one could also switch over to the Superior Firepower Doctrine, to maximize the firepower of Artillery.

"Military Affairs Commission" should be taken early on to start down on the path to removing Army Corruption.

海岸线防御

Guard China's coast closely! If enough firepower is provided and effort is given, China is capable of holding off a Japanese attack from Manchuria but Japan has an Ace in the hole to undermine that and achieve victory. That Ace in the hole is Naval invasions; if China manages to significantly slow down or even halt the Japanese advance into China from Manchuria, Japan is very likely to attempt to launch a naval invasion to open up a second front and overwhelm China by overextending its weak military.

To prevent this from happening, make sure to station at least 3-4 garrison divisions (again, with Artillery to even the odds) at every port on China's coast to prevent Japan from gaining a foothold to open up a second front. You should also have a handful of "reserve garrison" units at the ready to reinforce any port that is under attack. If Japan attacks a port and the battle is not going well, move the reserve units in to assist the garrison units in holding off the attack. If Japan manages to defeat the garrison and capture a port then unless you manage to retake it quickly enough, this can potentially spell disaster as while China is capable of holding off Japan on one front, a second front will very likely be too much for China's weakened military to handle as they will likely no be able to field enough units quickly enough to mount a workable defense.

稳定度

China's low starting stability reduces Political powerpolitical power gain as well as factory output, which are both very important for China in the coming years. Being at war with less than 50% stability can also cause negative events to occur. Therefore, increasing China's stability is a top priority. Fortunately, this is one of the easier problems to solve, with several options at China's disposal:

  • The Three Principles of the People focus branch contains several bonuses to stability.
  • Lin Sen and Soong Mei-Ling can be appointed as political advisers for extra stability.
  • The Improved Worker Conditions decision is a good way to gain some extra stability.

军队腐败

The biggest barrier to winning the war against Japan, this national spirit applies a nasty -50% penalty to all division attack and defense. The "Army Reform" national focus will grant access to decisions to reduce and eventually remove the national spirit altogether but this requires a large amount of Army XP, which is difficult to acquire when not at war. Historical Japan will trigger the Marco Polo Bridge Incident as its 8th focus, so China should make sure this focus is completed by then or at least soon after.

At significant political power cost, a decent amount of army experience can be gained by sending an attache to one of the sides of the Spanish Civil war. This may speed up the process of getting rid of army corruption.

科技

China starts with just two research slots and few researched technologies. Expand the Academia Sinica is a good early focus for the extra research slot, but additional research slots will take longer. Early research should focus on industry and infantry, as China starts with a huge surplus of manpower but an underdeveloped industry.

资源

The Nine Power Treaty Nine Power Treaty prevents China from switching away from the Free TradeFree Trade law, which will generally result in many 民用工厂 civilian factories being traded away for China's Steelsteel needs. Removing the Treaty requires progressing through one of the diplomatic focus branches. The German or Soviet branches are the fastest way to accomplish this, with a total of 7 focuses being required. Note that these two paths typically require improved relations with the chosen nation over that provided by focuses, as well as the Motorized tech which may take more than the length of two focuses to research.

Removing the Nine Powers treaty may not be an urgent concern however. If one is able to conquer the 桂系的国旗 桂系, its plentiful resources will allow China to more easily satisfy its own resource needs and can make it more valuable to export these for a large number of civilian factories which one can turn around and use to import what one needs over land such as from the USSR. This can be used to massively supplement your own factories. In addition, the research and production boosts make free trade a very valuable law as long as you are exporting as much as you are importing.

通货膨胀

China starts with Low Inflation Low Inflation, a deleterious national spirit that reduces factory output and the number of civilian factories available for construction, and its effects will progressively worsen if any national focus that increases inflation is completed:

  • Consumer Goods Factories: 25%
  • Factory Output: −25%
我们的货币体系已经完全崩溃了。在国家的大部分地方,贸易已经退回了以物易物的水平。贫困无处不在。我们的职员们正在把发给他们的纸币当柴火烧。必须进行一场声势浩大的金融与经济改革来扭转这一局势。

If China reaches a state of Economic Collapse Economic Collapse, any remaining focuses that increase inflation will be locked. To remove its effects, focuses that reduce inflation must be completed. In fact, it is prudent to alternate between focuses that increase inflation and focuses that reduce inflation so as to mitigate the negative effects of inflation. However, since there are only a limited number of focuses that reduce inflation, it is important to complete the focus Forced Loans, which will unlock a decision, re-enactable once every 90 days, that reduces inflation by one level at the cost of 100 政治点数 Political Power, -3% 稳定度 Stability and -3% 战争支持度 War Support.

A choice must be made about whether or not to go down the welfare national focus tree. This will increase one's war support but will also raise inflation. Increasing one's war support may also be done rather cheaply through propaganda without increasing inflation. However, without going down this tree, China can only get 4 total research spots. This may not be a major concern as China both may not need to research many technologies (naval and radar and perhaps tank and air technology with licensed production) and can make up for its technological inferiority with massive numerical superiority. Not going down this path also frees up time to focus on the other national focuses. It may be best to first prosecute the war with Japan to a close and then start working one's way down the Welfare branch while at peace, making it less likely for the Inflation to cause problems while at war.

征服军阀

One strategy is to go down the national focus tree to the focus “Subjugate the Warlords” (through Three Principles of the People, Nationalism and Prioritize the Interior). This makes China send an ultimatum to 晋系的国旗 晋系, 新疆的国旗 新疆, 桂系的国旗 桂系, 滇系的国旗 滇系 and 西北三马的国旗 西北三马. You will easily overpower them with your superior power, as long as you fight the ones that don’t submit one by one. You can then attack 中共的国旗 中共 through the focus Anti-Communism which gives you a war goal on them. Once you have done this, taking on 日本的国旗 日本 will be a lot easier due to your new might, as you now control a lot more of your core territory.
