美国去殖民化！（America Decolonized!）

As  Mapuche Chile liberate all native people in North and South America.

「Strategy」

This achievement essentially requires complete control of the American continent, from Greenland to Uruguay. Subjects count, and holding the territory is not necessary once the nation has been released. A complication is that four countries have to either be your subject or not exist at all to unlock the decision, which means going to the peace conference:  美国,  加拿大,  巴西, and  玻利维亚. Pacific nations like, Hawaii, Samoa, or Tahiti don't have to be released.

To successfully puppet a country in the peace conference, you must puppet its capital region and make sure that none of its territory remains unclaimed at the end of the conference. Otherwise, your puppet will be an entirely new nation and the original country will not be considered your subject. You know you have succeeded if your puppet uses the original country's focus tree.

On old versions of the game, it was possible to invite Brazil into your faction (this may still be possible with 不妥协，不投降 disabled) and then rush the Allies down before the US joined. The strategy here previously used this method. This doesn't work after the free patch that came with 不妥协，不投降, as the UK defends their shores relentlessly with a large army garrison and the Royal Navy.

While the current strategy listed here does this with historical AI focuses, it is possible to reroll for a good non-historical run where the UK decolonizes (or even better, disbands the Allies by joining the Axis or Comintern). If the following strategy doesn't work for you, try that.

As a final note, there are two strategies on how to do this run in essence, and both are very viable. One strategy has you immediately take the decisions to release puppets and to abuse manpower and troops offered by puppets to supplement your own meager reserves. In this strategy, you would take the advisors that give "+ Monthly Population %" and "+ Max Factories in State %". Those modifiers would help turbocharge your economy and manpower base. However, there is an alternative strategy preferred by some players. In that version of the run, you never release or puppet anything until right at the very end of the run after you peace out with the Allies with all the territory you need. You directly annex all land and use the "+ Non-core manpower %" advisors. These advisors are incredibly strong and scale very well, but you have to deal with the logistics and possible resistance issues from garrisoning two entire continents directly. This page details how to do the first strategy here. If you want more details on doing the second version, look at "Method 1" listed for 智利帝国（Chilean Empire）. It briefly summarizes it.

内战

• 训练你的海军，并用初始的海军经验设计一款早期驱逐舰或基础潜艇变体，把现有科技允许的模块全部拉满。除一座之外，把你的所有海军船坞都投入这些舰船，最后一座用来建造运输船队。
  • Use the destroyers in combination with stolen fleets from other countries to threaten the Allied fleets later.
  • Use the submarines later in the game to raid Allies' convoys and cripple their trade.
• Build your initial infrastructure/军用工厂 in Araucana. It's the best core you will keep during the civil war.
• Rush down to Address the Mapuche Conflict.
• 这一内战章节中的大多数焦点通常都值得点，因为它们之后都会锁定，而且几乎全都提供永久增益。不过，如果你在这里跳过 2 个焦点，就能绕过伊瓦涅斯把你最北端的核心州卖给秘鲁的限时事件。
  • This actually makes the civil war slightly harder, since this effectively doubles Ibáñez's 军用工厂 count by letting him keep that extra core. However, it makes the build-up to fight  阿根廷 afterwards easier, since you have an extra 军用工厂.
  • As to which focuses to skip, pick two out of: Unión Araucana, La Corporación Araucana, and Undermine the Carabineros de Chile.
• 在第一次代表大会事件中与communists合作。
  • This unlocks incredible advisors, so it's worth the 10% Stability hit.
  • Be careful: Ibáñez remains your leader until you have completed Avenge the Pacification of Araucanía, and the communists will start their own civil war against you if they reach over 20% popularity while he is in charge.
  • If you want to do Red Hot Chile Peppers afterwards, the decision for a referendum will appear once you reach at least 60% communist support at any point in the run from now on.
  • The communist leader is generally weaker than your second leader option (Esteban Romero Sandoval) in direct combat scenarios, but he's better than the other two options, especially in terms of stability. If you are struggling severely with stability later on, switching to Communist may help you a lot.
• 这场内战的变数很大，因为 AI 能把某些山地格子防守得非常好。尽量在最难攻打的格子上制造包围。务必把带有组织者特质的高级将领晋升为元帅，并点出最大计划加成特质；这会很有帮助。
  • If unable to progress, consider sending two naval invasions of 2-width cavalry divisions, each hitting as many different tiles on the enemy coastline as possible. This will force them to pull about half their troops off the line, which gives you the momentum back.
  • The enemy has more factories than you, allowing you to grab 大规模征兵. In theory, you can also get 战时经济. However, with no coal access, making yourself heavily reliant on easily raided convoys to keep your economy active is risky. It's safer to stay on 部分动员.
  • This civil war also counts as a defensive war. In theory, that would allow you to take Desperate Defense. However, you will very likely not have enough army experience for that.
  • The civil war ends once you've pushed to Coquimbo.

War with Argentina

Argentina has more men and industry than you and should be rushed as fast as reasonably possible. However, you also need to prepare for war with Brazil at the same time.

• Put out 20 12-width infantries, preferably also with Support Artillery. Also put out 12 6-width cavalry divisions.
• 把二者都部署到Argentine边境上，作为各自独立的将领前线，而不是元帅命令。
  • Don't forget to put a couple troops on Terra del Fuego.
• 可选（但推荐）：优先速出「让比索贬值」。你迫切需要第三个科研槽，才能在常规科技上不掉队——更别提我们之后至少还需要海军和坦克。
  • I recommend taking the Dissolve COVENSA path. It seems worse on the surface than the alternative path, but you will quickly find that you have enough building slots anyway to nearly max out your major cores just from the two different advisors that grant Max Factories % and Monthly Population %, who you should be using. And that tiny bit of Steel makes a huge difference.
  • As an aside, don't bother taking Establish Beneficial Trade Relationships until much, much later (after the US is conquered, ideally); the focus is basically pure downside at first, with a long-term gain of some moderate economy buffs after you take International Loans, improve relations with major powers, and dump in huge amounts of Political Power. But the additional forced Resources to Market % at the start will force you to depend on external trading partners like  瑞典 even more than you already need to. The Allies will raid your convoys and starve you.
• Take the "Improve Worker Conditions" decision every time you can for the rest of the playthrough. It doesn't matter if you're at war, or how badly you might need your factories; you will be starved of stability in this run basically from the start to the finish.
• Rush down to 美洲原住民联盟.
• After completing 美洲原住民联盟, use your Faction Initiative point to declare yourself Head of Cryptology, Counter Intelligence, or Operations. This gives you an additional spy.
• 用你的两名特工对巴西启动协作政府。如果运气不好，你可能得先营救你原来的那名特工。
  • Work towards getting your third spy via completing 5 agency upgrades. When you have this, you can set your Collaboration Government operation to automatically repeat and the third spy can hold the Network Level in Brazil above the 50% Threshold required, so the operation will repeat seamlessly. You can quiet the network as well with this third spy to reduce the chance of detection once you've past the threshold.
• Rush down towards the war with  阿根廷.
• 宣战时，用进攻牵制阿根廷师，同时让你的骑兵师包围它们并直冲胜利点。
  • Getting Buenos Aires is crucial. Before the war, you can set up a naval invasion order for 6 of the cavalry divisions to naval invade Buenos Aires.
  • If you wait a few days after the war starts to launch the naval invasion, you may get it for free because the AI pulled its garrison out of desperation.
  • In the peace deal, take all of your cores from  阿根廷. Puppet the remaining states while taking their civilian factories and resources. Also take their navy.

War with Brazil

Non-fascist countries will join the Allies when they reach a certain surrender progress after a certain amount of world tension has accumulated. This is a problem because a fight with the Allies and Brazil simultaneously will waste huge amounts of your time, which is a limited resource. You're on an invisible clock to at least take Mexico and parts of the US before Sweden joins the Allies (typically mid-1942 when doing this). When that happens, you'll lose your source of Steel for your armies' Infantry Equipment.

However, there's a trick: the countries above only join the Allies when they near defeat (unless you are already at war with the Allies). If you manipulate their surrender progress such that they pass that trigger at the same time they capitulate, they don't have time to join a faction (in theory... in practice, the "lag" before a country actually capitulates can sometimes allow them to join a faction anyway). This is why we wanted the Collaboration Governments on Brazil. (Additionally, if this strategy fails, you can form a Collaboration Government in occupied Brazil in order to not have to garrison it, so you get a big benefit either way.)

• Continue your Collaboration Governments on  巴西.
• 选择「十字军东征帝国主义」。这将允许你释放原住民族国家。从现在起，「解放」决议一旦可用就立刻执行。
  • However, do not "Liberate the Incan People" or "Liberate the Rapa Nui People" until right before you take Unified by Will (which you should probably not do until after peacing out with the Allies, so you can core the  USA). Liberating the Incans gives away 2 of your cores, and liberating the Rapa Nui gives away Easter Island, which is also a core. Though the mistake isn't run-ending, these two decisions just actively make the run harder if you take them early.
• When your 'Devaluing the Peso' National Spirit fades, you will gain access to the bottom of the economy focus section. Rush through Strengthen the Central Bank和电信发展 for your glorious 3rd research slot.
• 之后按此顺序专注于获取：从一战中吸取教训、战争规划办公室、山之地、投资山地炮。
  • After these four focuses are obtained, do whatever you think is best. Improving your navy and naval production is a good idea, as are planes. You'll need at least one of these methods to get to the  UK later.
  
• Switch over to look at your  Argentine puppet's unit templates (upper left of the Templates panel), and copy over whatever their newest infantry template is. Edit it to your liking (I'd remove any Support Anti-Tank or Support Anti-Air for now and add in Field Hospitals, Logistics Companies, and/or Recon Rangers).
• Make around 1.5-2 full armies of this, and you should even convert over most or all of your existing units to this template as well. Train up your units afterwards of course.
• 当你在巴西拥有高比例的协作政府时，制造一个战争目标并向其宣战。你需要召唤与它接壤的傀儡国参战。
  • The lowest Collaboration % I've found to work is 90%, but a lower amount might be possible by manipulating which Victory Points you capture (i.e. saving Sao Paulo for when  巴西 controls around 35% VPs, since it is worth 20 points and should push them into capitulation by itself).
• With your now free spies, start building a spy network in the  美国 and repeat Collaboration Governments on them over the next couple of years. Ideally, they will be fully collab'd by the time you get there.
• When the war starts, select a handful of divisions and push up the coast aggressively (but not so fast that you get encircled) while the rest of your units beat back the Brazilian divisions rapidly.
• 当你拿下沿海城市累西腓时，战争应当会立即结束，赶在巴西有机会加入盟国之前。将其完全吞并（这次不要设为傀儡），并接管其海军。然后选择「重组巴西政府」决议。
  • You will get a couple tiny parts of  巴西 left over from the reorganization, which is fine.
  • If this strategy fails, keep going and push the Allies out of the Guyanas (don't worry about the Amazon until their ports are taken). Establish a Collaboration Government in  巴西 when prompted if at war with the Allies, since you won't be able to take the Reorganize Brazil decision. For more advice, see the "Expel the Allies" section down below.

Finish South America

During the process of fighting some of these countries, you will inevitably enter war with the 同盟国. Maybe you had crap luck and it even happened during the  巴西 war despite our precautions. That's fine. In general, the wars you're going to be declaring will end so fast that no troops can make it from the US or anywhere else before they don't have any friendly territory to land at. You will need to begin to use your navy to defend your convoys, but you have to keep an eye on them from time to time.

• 依次对乌拉圭和巴拉圭制造战争目标、宣战并将其设为傀儡国。
  • In general, prefer puppeting (while taking war reparations and resource rights) over annexing because you can still take the "Liberation" decisions while your puppets control the land. It just replaces one puppet with a new one.
• Now take your Brazilian puppet's newest unit template and do similar modifications as you did earlier. However, make sure the divisions have Support Anti-Air (and add it to your other templates in use too).
• Build additional armies of this template as your supply allows; you want to aim for 4 full armies using Brazilian and Argentinian templates (and therefore manpower).
• Research Inter-War Tank Development and either 1938 Mediums or 1934 Heavies. We're going to be making SPGs and both are valid options. You can make more Mediums, but Heavies are stronger.
• 还有两个好对付的国家：玻利维亚和秘鲁。把两国都设为傀儡，并通过决议重组玻利维亚。别忘了接管秘鲁的海军！
  • If you're unlucky, you may not have enough warscore to take all of  秘鲁, especially if they were at war with  厄瓜多尔. This isn't a big deal. Puppet what you can and leave their most expensive province. Make sure to take the navy. Just war them again later when the truce has expired.
  • Don't accidentally accept  厄瓜多尔's non-aggression pact, if they offer one. If you do by accident, just skip  厄瓜多尔 for now and invade  哥伦比亚 from the  巴西 side.
• 开始建造你所偏好坦克尺寸的自行火炮。你的目标是让一个完整集团军换装新模板：8 个山地兵营、2-3 个中型自行火炮营或 2 个重型自行火炮营。
  • For Support Companies, you'll want Field Hospitals, Recon Rangers, Logistics Companies, and Support Anti-Air at minimum. Take Support Artillery for the last slot if have any buffs from your doctrines centered around Support Artillery. Otherwise anything works, but Assault Engineering Companies or Medium Flame Tanks would be ideal.
  • I used my own manpower here, but there's nothing wrong with using Brazil's manpower if you need to.
• 在扩军备战的同时，制造一个战争目标并对厄瓜多尔宣战。
  • If you aren't at war with the Allies yet, try to take their capital last. This shouldn't give them a chance to join under most circumstances.
  • Even if this does happen (war with the Allies), it doesn't matter much. Just don't call in  巴西 and go ahead and deploy your navy like the next section describes now.
• Justify a war goal and declare war on  哥伦比亚. Don't bring any puppets in, just attack from your own lands.
• 在此作战期间，你必须最后再攻占首都，以免哥伦比亚加入盟国。
  • It doesn't matter that much if they do, but it makes the conquest of  委内瑞拉 slightly more annoying. You will need to dedicate a significant amount of troops to continually push against Curacao and Trinidad in order to eventually capture them.
  • Also don't forget to deploy your navy.
•  委内瑞拉 is next, and do the same. Unlike the others,  委内瑞拉 is a 法西斯 nation and cannot join the Allies even if they want to. In theory, they could join the Axis (and might if you waited an extremely long time), but I've never seen this behavior during a war.

Expel the Allies

• Before continuing, make sure to get non-aggression pacts with every faction major:  日本,  德国, and the  苏联, if they still exist, to prevent you getting dragged into a bigger war. Renew them immediately when they are cancelled. Diplomatic pressure and improve relations help.
• Also, be very careful when inviting puppets to wars or accepting any war invites from puppets. At one point, my Brazil puppet managed to get into war with the Axis, Japan, and the USSR simultaneously and requested I join them. Make sure you don't fall into the trap of accepting some suicide invitation like that.
• 此时时间可能已在 1940 到 1943 年之间，取决于你的推进速度、技巧和运气。即使瑞典已经加入盟国，只要你从现在起动作够快，仍然很有机会。
  • If  瑞典 really does join the Allies before you secure a new source of Steel, I recommend switching out your Logistics Companies for Maintenance Companies (gasp! the meta defied!). The extra reliability and enemy equipment capture chance will keep your Infantry Weapons stockpile in the positive while you fight on low Steel numbers.
• 把你的部队部署到英属圭亚那边境（或尽可能靠近之处）。我建议让法属圭亚那与阿马帕之间的边境留空，如果盟国尚未夺取那里，就让它去占。
  • Don't forget to put troops against the borders you may have with the Allies in Curacao and Trinidad. You will want to put about 8-12 divisions against the border of each of these two islands.
• 制造一个战争目标并向盟国宣战。选择较弱的成员国之一能产生更少的世界紧张度，略微更优，但影响不大。
  • Do NOT call  巴西 into the war. Surprisingly, pushing from just this one direction is both easier and cleaner.
• 对这两座岛屿设置一条进攻线命令，并将部队设为「激进」，让它们持续推进。
  • This is the only way to remove the Allies from these islands; if you're unlucky it can sometimes take up to 4 months to fully take the islands. Thankfully you don't really need or even want all your divisions on your main front right now because they'll run out of supplies anyway.
• 至于海军，把你整支舰队一起驻扎在厄瓜多尔的瓜亚基尔港。
  • Put your Light Cruisers and Destroyers on Convoy Escort in the Peruvian Coast, the Western Canal Zone, and the Caribbean Sea.
  • Set your capital ships on Strike Force. Keep them in the same Task force as your Convoy Escorts, so they'll stay in port most of the time but rush to the aid of your convoy escorts if they get in over their head.
  • Split off your submarines into a separate task force and then split them into groups of 6-12 each. Assign them to raid the Carribean Sea and the sea zone near the Guyanas. This cripples the Allies' army supply.
  • Remember to go to your Production Tab, open your Naval Repair Queue, and increase the number of Dockyards assigned to repair to the maximum.
  • From this point on, just use your Dockyards to spam Light Cruisers with all the Light Attack you can manage. Once you get Radar unlocked, add that in immediately as well as better Fire Control modules.
• Expel the Allies from the Guyanas.

Take the United States

• 一路向北推进，穿越中美洲。你必须对每个中美洲国家制造战争目标并宣战，可能还包括墨西哥和美国（取决于它们是否已加入盟国）。
  • Also, you'll often be too late for El Salvador - they like to quickly join up with the 轴心国 these days. That's fine; just walk past them and you can get them at the end after you're done with the 同盟国.
• 此时你应当拥有五个满编集团军——四个使用傀儡国的人力（巴西或阿根廷皆可），另一个由山地兵加自行火炮组成。理想情况下这最后一个集团军使用你自己的人力，但如果你人力不足，就直接用巴西的人力，因为他们永远不会耗尽。
  • If you get low on manpower despite this, create Inter-War Light Tanks or Armored Cars and switch your garrisons to those. This should free up several hundred thousand manpower from Mexico, the US, Canada, etc.
• 等你打到美国时，它应当已经加入了盟国。不要在美国边境停下，只管继续全速推进。
  • In fact, switch your troops to "Aggressive" and make your SPG divisions frantically push East. You really want to take the major East Coast cities before the US can reinforce.
  • If you don't get there in time, it's worth it to stop pushing and let the US attempt to push you instead. They shouldn't be able to, and it will help reduce their equipment stockpiles, especially if you captured a ton of their land already.
  • If you have a full Collaboration Government (90%+), go ahead and finish them as fast as possible. If you're slightly short (for example you have a 60% Collab and your third one is in progress), it's worth it to stop and wait for it to finish. If your third Collab isn't even started yet, just finish them and let compliance grow over time.
  • You will want to take the "Form Collaboration Government" decision as soon as they capitulate, either via event or decision. This is insurance since it protects your winnings - you now own the US states indirectly, and don't have to pay for them in the peace deal.

Clean up the World

• 此时开始建设海军或空军，以便通过海军登陆或空降英国来迫使盟国投降。
  • For the naval invasion route, I recommend going from Northeast Canada to Greenland to Iceland to Ireland to England. This has you go through what are usually the UK's weakest sea zones (the ones near Ireland).
  • The buildup for either Navy or Air Force (since you need either Naval Dominance or Air Superiority) will take a long time. Depending on how much you've done in the background, it might even take a couple full years. But at this point, you have the  USA' resources, so you aren't in any danger.
  • Notably, if the US is your puppet as planned, they may rapidly gain autonomy due to how many resources you are taking from them. You should use your civilian factories to counter this by just building max Land Forts in every tile of the US. It's stupid and silly, but it works and they'll never move up a puppet rank.
  • There is a small but nonzero chance that the Axis, usually  意大利 for some reason, will be able to get a foothold in the UK via a naval invasion. Don't count on this, but if it happens, request access and help them finish it.
• After capitulating the UK, you'll usually need to declare on the Axis to take  萨尔瓦多.
• If you have manpower issues, Unified by Will can have you core every native nation you have previously released.
• Once you have annexed all of mainland America, release all native nations!

After getting the achievement, you can complete Unified by Will to annex and core 2 entire continents (minus a small part of Argentina).

If you wish to do 红热智利辣椒, hire communist advisors to turn 共产主义. You should already control California.

You can also easily do 智利帝国（Chilean Empire）. All you need to do is take the Pacific islands, Japan, China, and Siberia. You already are the world's foremost superpower, and not even literally every country combined could stop you, so this just takes time and patience.
