中立 (大東亞共榮圈)

日本（Japan）是軸心國在東亞與太平洋新秩序與戰場的領導國。第二次世界大戰最早發端是1931年日本入侵中華民國開始的，並成立了滿洲國傀儡政權。在1937年的盧溝橋事變後，日本正式向中國宣戰，第二次中日戰爭進入全面抗戰階段，期間日本入侵並征服了華東大部分地區，並在此過程中建立了其他偽政權，包括蒙古國以及汪精衛國民政府。在入侵中國後，日本也開始向東南亞進攻，入侵並征服了英屬馬來亞和荷屬東印度（即現在的印度尼西亞），獲得了其豐富的資源，然後準備入侵英屬印度。

1945年8月6日，美利堅合眾國在廣島投下了一枚原子彈，夷平了整座城市。根據雅爾塔協議，8月8日傍晚，蘇維埃聯盟對日本宣戰，並於8月9日午夜過後不久突進了滿洲國和蒙古國。僅僅幾個小時後，美國人在長崎投下了第二枚原子彈。這些事件徹底震撼和迫使裕仁天皇介入並迫使六大巨頭商定結束戰爭的條件，這是盟軍在波茨坦會議上決定的。幕後談判持續了數天，同時在戰場上也沒能在蘇聯傘兵突襲之前及時銷毀滿洲731部隊生化武器庫存，以及關東軍的崩潰後，8月15日，裕仁天皇通過廣播向全國發表講話，宣佈日本無條件投降。投降書的簽字儀式於9月2日在美國海軍戰艦密蘇里號上舉行。

地理

日本位於亞洲的遠東地區，它主要由四個主要島嶼組成：九州，四國，本州和北海道。日本還擁有朝鮮半島，天津、南樺太以及太平洋中的許多戰略性島嶼，包括：台灣，沖繩，塞班島，關島和硫磺島。日本還控制了滿洲國和蒙古國的地區。

日本本土以山脈為主，幾乎遍佈全國。它有幾個主要城市，分別是東京，廣島和長崎。日本主要城市周圍都有平原。日本直接通過薩哈林島和朝鮮北部邊境以及滿洲國的北部邊境與蘇維埃聯盟接壤。他們還通過天津及其傀儡國蒙古國與中華民國接壤。日本本土四面環海，西面是日本海，南面是東海，東面則是太平洋。

歷史背景

在1868年明治維新期間日本統一之後，大日本帝國經歷了一個快速的西化和工業化時期，其目標是使日本成為與其他西方國家同等的強國。日本以其工業力量，通過侵略鄰國來彌補本土資源的匱乏，例如始於1895年對朝鮮的入侵，1894-1895年的甲午戰爭，日本佔領了台灣。繼此之後，日本又在1904-1905年抗日戰爭中贏得了日俄戰爭，鞏固了自己作為世界大國之一和第一個獲得這一地位的非歐洲國家的地位。1902年，日本與英國結盟，在第一次世界大戰中加入了協約國，征服了德國在太平洋和中國的殖民地。

在大蕭條期間，日本政府變得越來越軍國主義，並於1931年征服了中國東北，從而造就了滿洲國傀儡國的成立。1933年，日本進一步佔領中國領土，導致了更多的傀儡國，例如蒙古國。日本政府已經開始宣佈一場「亞洲是亞洲人的亞洲」的運動，在這場運動中，他們或多或少的意思是「亞洲是日本人的亞洲」，並發生了一系列的「解放」戰爭，實際上這是對土地和資源的進一步爭奪。

但是，日本政府仍然不滿意，並以犧牲一切為代價的方式，尋求進一步擴大日本在東亞及其「大東亞共榮圈」的統治。日本為征服亞洲制定了無數計劃，其中一些計劃是入侵東亞大陸，並將中華民國分裂為一些忠誠的傀儡國，另一些計劃則是入侵英屬印度，其他則涉及入侵印度尼西亞和印度支那的歐洲國家殖民地。甚至更甚的計劃要求入侵蘇聯，以奪取其西伯利亞的豐富資源，財富和廣大領土，另一項計劃涉及對準了澳大利亞和新西蘭，而日本最大的野心便是入侵美利堅合眾國，以確保日本的資源和工業控制權，並推翻美國政府，以便日本稱霸太平洋地區，從而成為一個洲際大國。

日本帝國是東亞最強大的力量，隨時準備摧毀任何阻礙其前進的國家。

在資源方面，日本發現自己與德國處於大致相同的位置.雖然日本可以獲得令人滿意的鉻、鎢和鋼鐵，但它卻遭受了鋁短缺以及石油和橡膠極度短缺的困擾。遊戲開始時日本的石油和橡膠短缺主要將日本玩家硬塞進步兵部隊的歷史泥潭.即使完全吞併中華民國也無法解決日本的問題，因為中華民國或多或少擁有與日本相同的資源庫.雖然日本玩家可以在早期與美利堅合眾國進行石油交易，但這束縛了民用工廠，而美利堅合眾國早期的重點是禁運日本（他們可能會在歷史焦點開啟的情況下追求禁運）.

然而，日本很幸運，因為所有的橡膠和石油都是很短的船程，並且與盟軍進行了一場戰爭.具體來說，遊戲中最大的橡膠和石油供應可以在法屬印度支那、英屬馬來西亞和荷屬東印度群島找到.雖然日本在與法國、聯合王國或荷蘭達成和平會議之前不會完全控制這些資源，但可用資源足以為飛機、輪船、坦克的建造以及日本在戰爭期間可能擁有的任何機動設計提供燃料.如果日本玩家不希望與盟軍開戰，他們將在 1936 年獲得第一個允許合成煉油廠的技術，這為上述飛機、輪船和坦克的中等規模生產開闢了選擇，而無需征服.在走這條路線時要記住的一件事是，合成煉油廠的建造極其昂貴和耗時，浪費了可用於建立其他軍事和民用工廠的時間，這些工廠可以建立一支力量來獲取日本實現其統治太平洋夢想所需的所有資源.

陸軍

1936年,日本陸軍由老兵和新兵共同組成。日本開局擁有45個步兵師，9個騎兵師，3支輕型坦克部隊，2個摩托化師和一支海軍陸戰隊。為了反映歷史實際，日本軍隊開局時擁有2級經驗等級和1級的武器裝備（大概是想表現日本人裝備不行，靠素質戰鬥）。這樣的部隊結合盧溝橋事變國策，允許玩家早在1936年就可以運用多種手段發動對華戰爭。日本也有一些部隊僅列裝了基礎武器裝備，這些部隊主要勝任日本本土守衛和太平洋列島的駐軍任務。

日本軍隊模板的可選擇名稱如下：

山地步兵師 - Yamahei-dan Shidan
海軍陸戰隊 - Tokubetsu Rikusentai 或 Rikusentai (海軍步兵，而非陸戰隊）

策略和指南

日本 The Empire of Japan is by far the strongest nation in East Asia when it comes to military strength and has plenty of options for expanding its sphere of influence. That being said, Japan suffers from a chronic lack of resources, given the size of its military and will, as it realized in real life, become very dependent on trade to fuel its war machine unless the problem is properly addressed. Japan is also not a very popular nation globally—the 聯合王國, the 美利堅合眾國 and the 蘇維埃聯盟 all have national focuses that enable them to go to war with Japan and the Together for Victory DLC will also turn 澳大利亞 and 新西蘭 into possible enemies.

Japan's national focus tree contains many helpful perks and boosts that can greatly assist in early-game endeavors. The National Focus New Naval Estimates gives 4 naval dockyards while "Spiritual Mobilization" and "Warrior Traditions" raise the recruitable population by a noticeable margin.

Japan starts the game with a total of 59 factories (19 military, 25 civilian and 15 naval dockyards) which is comparable to most of the other major nations and this gives Japan the biggest industrial capacity in East Asia.

The Imperial Japanese army consists of a rather colorful mix of units, ranging from Regular to Green in experience and with varying levels of equipment. Many of the division templates are also somewhat questionable when it comes to composition. A lot of rearming and reorganizing will be needed in order to bring up the military to par with the other major powers.

The Imperial Japanese Navy is the third-largest navy in the world and the largest one in East Asia. Because Japan is an island nation and also controls a large matrix of smaller islands throughout the pacific ocean, the navy will be vital to ensure that the Japanese Empire remains properly connected and that supply lines remain open. As such, Japan will need to build up its naval dockyard capacity in order to allow it to expand its naval force and replace lost ships.

Once the initial buildup is completed there are several paths for Japan to take:

初始征服選項

The Second Sino-Japanese War

Located to Japan's Southwest, 中華民國 presents a relatively early conquest goal for Japan. The Japanese national focus tree contains the necessary focuses to grant a war goal against China very early on in the game and this makes China a perfectly logical conquest option in the early game. When taking on China, the Japanese player must be aware of two crucial facts: first, China has the second highest (highest after unification) starting core population in the game and this grants it a near-bottomless manpower supply. As such, a war of attrition is not an option for Japan as Japan will run out of manpower long before China. Instead, the recommended path is for Japan to strike fast and strike hard, using equipment such as artillery and either heavy fighters or tanks to deal maximum damage to the Chinese forces. Second, it is recommended that the player strike China from multiple directions by opening new fronts through naval invasions. Once the war starts, two possible option for additional strikes would be a naval invasion of the Qingdao peninsula followed by a rush inland to cut off supply line to Beijing or an invasion of Southern China to capture a large portion of China's resources.

Once China falls, the player is left with two options: Annexation or Puppeting. Annexing China will grant Japan a good amount of build slots for construction (which is mostly useless as you have enough construction slots in your capital and way better infrastructure) as well as providing a boost to Japan's resource pool but an immense penalty will be applied to the local recruitable population, greatly reducing available manpower.

If the Japanese player elects to puppet China and has the Together For Victory DLC enabled, then they will be able to fully exploit China's immense manpower pool by recruiting colonial divisions or by requesting forces from China at any point, as China will retain full access to its manpower pool as a Japanese puppet. If the player elects this path, they should only fully annex coastal states, and perhaps even all states except Sichuan (which is the highest population state). China should still be left with enough manpower. Annexing the state of Hainan is highly recommended as this state can serve as a staging area for the Japanese Navy when fighting in Southern Asia.

With 1.9 alongside La Resistance, the Sino-Japanese War can easily turn into a meat grinder for Japan. You want to end the war as quickly as possible as garrison requirement will wear you down by attrition. You can set up collaboration government via espionage beforehand to make things easier and give you an alternative to puppeting China. Be sure to complete Develop Chinese Resources focus first before allowing the collaboration government to form or you will lose out on its bonuses. You can form the Collaboration Government with either Nationalist China or Communist China. Using Communist China as collaboration government might be a preferable option given their better national spirits and conscription laws but you will need more garrison during the time you are completing the focus as the compliance will only form in their starting area. Keep in mind that just like normal puppets, collaboration government will not give you access to their docks and the collaboration puppet will immediately form over all their core territory you possess during their formation which including Dalian, East Hebei, and Taiwan.

Southern Strike

Just south of Japan lies Indonesia and Indochina. These territories are very valuable for Japan as they contain large amounts of rubber as well as a moderate amount of oil, both which Japan sorely needs for tanks, trucks, planes and ships for its military.

Unfortunately for Japan, these territories are controlled by European colonial nations (the 荷屬東印度 and 英屬馬來亞) and as such Japan will likely not be able to achieve full control of these areas until later in the game unless the player can somehow force through a peace treaty. Still, simply occupying the areas will be enough to extract the resources needed. As far as enemy opposition is concerned, the colonial nations are usually not very well defended so Japan's starting military power alone should be sufficient to capture the colonies if one acts fast enough. Invading the colonies will likely involve a lot of naval invasions or paratrooper drops (depending on personal preference) as well maintaining naval superiority around the islands.

Once the colonies are occupied, a good course of action would be to fortify the coast and station troops in the area to repel enemy attempts at retaking the areas. This is where puppet troops can come in handy, recruiting colonial troops or, if the division templates are good enough, requesting forces from puppets can allow the player to station puppet troops to garrison occupied areas for reducing resistance and repelling or at least delaying enemy incursions.

In La Resistance it is possible to form Collaboration Government on both Malaya and Dutch East Indies using espionage and it might be well worth the effort as your puppets will form immediately once they capitulated without the need of subduing the rest of the Allies. Likewise, be sure to complete Exploit the Southern Resource Area focus first before allowing the collaboration government to form or you will lose its bonuses, though this is only possible in the Fascist path.

Japan's national focus tree also contains focuses to aid in this path, allowing Japan to turn 暹羅 into a puppet as well as pressuring 法國 to give up Indochina.

Alternatively it's possible to justify on Dutch East Indies or Netherlands in the beginning and temporarily join Axis to take out Netherlands before they can join Allies.

Mid-game conquest options

傀儡印度

確保中國戰場穩固後，可以向英屬印度推進，這樣擁有兩個人力大國作為傀儡可以大幅減少本國人力損失。與中華民國不同的是，印度是聯合王國的殖民地，這會捲入與同盟國的戰爭中。鑑於印度和中國都人多槍少，推薦雙線入侵；一個是取道滇系和{flag|暹羅}}，同時海軍入侵錫蘭島；另一條是取道喜馬拉雅山脈直插印度腹地。不要給裝備落後的印軍喘息機會，但要提防盟軍援助，這些可不是容易啃的骨頭。

Oil Rush

Beyond India (the 英屬印度) lies the fifth biggest oil producer in the world - 伊朗. Capturing it will secure twice as much oil as the 荷屬東印度, providing for Japan's medium-term oil needs as it expands in the Pacific.

Though small and non-aligned, Iran's border with India is very short and very mountainous, making the invasion surprisingly tough (but still a matter of weeks).

Iran also give you access to the 蘇維埃聯盟. If the 德意志國 are already close to Stalingrad, an invasion via Armenia could roll up the entire front. If not, you could blitz straight to Stalingrad or even Moscow while the bulk of Soviet forces are tied up in the West (which will collapse when half the front is deployed to deal with your invasion). You can end the war by Christmas.

繼續南下

在征服東南亞後，日本可以入侵澳大利亞與新西蘭。此南下將極大的拓寬日本的海洋實力與並移除盟軍在南太平洋的軍事存在。兩國都是歐洲列強的附屬國，科技發達卻人力短缺，進攻方式須權變：若捲入戰爭，因遠征軍故而本土空虛，宜速攻克之，否則強敵援至，不易登陸；If they choose to sever ties and become independent, however (via Together For Victory), then they will be less inclined to send their troops elsewhere and may therefore be able to mount a more solid defense. In addition to that, going down the national focus trees can lead to Australia and/or New Zealand joining the Axis or Comintern and Australia can even form a faction with the USA, puppet/annex New Zealand and attack Japan.
