原页面:Belgium
比利时 is a minor country located in Western Europe with a population of 8.13 M (core) and an additional 11.47 M (non-core). It borders the
荷兰 to the north,
德国 to the east,
卢森堡 to the southeast, and
法国 to the southwest. Through its colony of Congo in Central Africa, it also borders the
英国和
葡萄牙. With the
诸神黄昏 DLC enabled, Congo is made into a
殖民地 of Belgium, called
比属刚果.
Since independence in 1830,
比利时 had retained a policy of staunch neutrality similar to that of
瑞士. However, this neutrality was not respected by others and
比利时 neutrality was violated by the German Empire, after an invasion, in 1914 causing the
英国 to declare war on the German Empire. The Germans initially steamrolled through most of the country and Northern France, and by the time trench-warfare kicked in the frontlines had completely stagnated leaving
比利时 a shadow of its former self. The war caused serious devastation to the Belgium countryside and economy all for a war they were forced into. Because of this,
比利时 left the war seeking revenge and so annexed the border region of Eupen-Malmedy but much like
法国, they were dissatisfied with the Versailles settlement believing that Germany could have been treated harsher.
Unsurprisingly, still not content
比利时 became a major participant of the occupation of the Ruhr from 1923-25, in a naive attempt by members of the now all but dismantled Entente to force Germany to pay their reparations. Despite this brief hiccup
比利时 continued to pioneer its neutrality well into the 1930s, angering
法国 who wanted to use the country as a staging-ground to counter possible German aggression. While on the other hand the
德意志国 sit eager to launch an invasion through the country to get to the French capital of Paris.
All this leaves
比利时 with paramount weight on its shoulders as its involvement, or rather lack of involvement, could sway the ever closer war to one sides advantage. The argument for some is between neutrality or sovereignty.
比利时 gets a unique national focus tree as part of the
诸神黄昏 expansion. Without the expansion, Belgium utilizes the 通用国策树.
The Belgian national focus tree can be divided into 6 branches and 8 sub-branches:
The joint Congo focus tree has 6 main sections:

Belgium lies in a rather fortunate position between an alliable Germany, a pacifist Netherlands and rather pathetic Luxembourg. France could provide a formidable foe but more times than not simply won't put troops on the border even when you are actively justifying against them. To take advantage of this one should immediately begin by selecting political effort and hiring the Fascist Demagogue while waiting one should choose the industrial focuses although infrastructure effort should be saved for after the impending civil war. Any upgrades to the army would be wasted as the enemy in the civil war would gain the same bonuses. You should be able to turn fascist by 1937 at the latest. After you have turned fascist you should begin the production of Transport planes fighters and CAS. Immediately justify the Netherlands and Luxembourg and join the Axis. When at war with the Netherlands simply paradrop into The Hague Amsterdam and Rotterdam to capitulate them For your focus tree go down the nationalist path for man power. You should focus mostly on mils at this point but it is up to you. Mobile warfare is the best doctrine. After getting the Netherlands and Luxembourg annex them but puppet the east indies and request their garrison report. Take care not to call in the Germans as they will steal all the land in the conference. When you feel you are strong enough (and when France has joined the allies) then justify a war goal on a British puppet such as British Malaya. Wait for an event where they will move troops from your border and lose their entrenchment such as Italy joining the axis or Nationalist Spain being victorious in the civil war then declare war. Call in the Germans as it shouldn't matter as they can't penetrate the Maginot. Push onwards to Paris and capture it thus capitulating France. Don't worry if you capitulate as the Germans should liberate you and then capture the French lands in the name of your country. After this send around a full army group (24 divisions) to guard all the ports in your empire. You should have enough planes to gain superiority over the south of England if you have focused well and if not it's only a matter of time. Feel free to declare war on any non major country if you think you can capitulate them or if you can't but their landlocked or very far away (they should capitulate after the UK does as the UK is the only major but be wary nevertheless) try not to declare war on any American nation as the US guarantees them due to Monroe Doctrine. Once you have ample air superiority in southern England then paradrop into an undefended city on the south coast that has a port Portsmouth is usually good. Once you have taken it send across one or more army groups across the channel. Bombing their navy may be a good idea to stop them intercepting the crossings. Once the army groups are across conquer them as quickly as possible .In the peace deal take the eastern most states of Canada and puppet the rest. Creating a lot of puppets is advised for the troops they will survive. The Axis should be in a much stronger position by now but still only join Operation Barbarossa if you feel you can take down the Soviet Union. When you feel ready you can justify on the Philippines and invade the USA from your Canadian lands. Rush their victory points and you can win easily. Puppet them and use their navy to invade Japan (as long as they are still fighting China) invade them with around 2 army groups. At this point you can invade everyone you want from the protection of the axis. After this simply leave the axis and conquer them when you are powerful enough.
Belgium has some advantages over the Netherlands. Although it still has no focus tree (as of the final versions of Update Barbarossa, most recent DLC being No Step Back), this can become a strength as Belgium is unhampered by negative national spirits, and the generic focus tree allows for a quicker ideological switch and nearer industry focuses. Belgium also has some advantages in the military; however, a player Netherlands can draw upon the (potentially million) manpower of the Dutch East Indies with Colonial templates; fortunately, the AI does barely makes use of this.
As with practically all minors, the player should choose to swing away from democracy (and non-aligned) and choose between the Fascist ideology or the Communist. Now with No Step Back DLC, communism has some merits with the Officer corps Army spirit that can give weekly manpower; however, the Fascist variant gives bonus political power %, so it may still be ideal to turn to the brown ideology, especially as the premier brown party borders Belgium, of which an alliance with would not be a waste. The player can focus on switching ideologies with some haste and conquer the Netherlands early, before World Tension increases and causes the Allies to start guaranteeing independence of nations, allowing Belgium to puppet (satellite) the East Indies and thus maintain a premier source of Rubber and some Aluminum and Oil, along with the provinces actually owned by the Netherlands that also produce some resources. With this in mind, aircraft technology can be a primary focus of the player's military modernization.
The Netherlands is hobbled by their national spirit that reduces factory output by 25% and construction speed by 50%, meaning that Belgium could mass a larger, fully equipped force and defeat the Dutch army without much trouble when Belgium switches its ideology away from Democratic and can justify wars. There is no difficult terrain apart from rivers that could hamper an offense, the Netherlands being almost entirely plains. Close air support, aerial superiority and support artillery in Belgium's starting templates should be more than sufficient to breeze through.
Allying with Germany means they cannot declare a war upon the player, which is ideal for a quieter game that does not aim for the European Union. France should fall easily to Germany with the cooperation of the player.
By going Communist and allying with the Soviets, the player can potentially form the European Union faster as they go to war with Germany and Italy without the hassle of joining and leaving the Axis, meaning they can potentially occupy 2/3 of the majors earlier, and without necessarily being at war with the allies. Unfortunately, getting a good war participation would be a steep hurdle to overcome; The United Netherlands cannot overcome the full might of the Axis alone, and calling the Soviet union in almost guarantees a reduction in the proportion of war participation given the Soviet AI's predisposition to hurl their unready but massive army in wasteful offenses, racking up casualties and thus their participation. However, the player can instead just not call the Soviets in, and defend themselves alone; allying with the Soviets this way still takes some pressure off as the German AI will garrison their Soviet border. When the enemy has been thoroughly weakened, a coordinated push could drive into Germany. The player can choose to puppet Germany and then annex them later through the autonomy system, negating a costly occupation at the price of 300 political power and time spent lowering their autonomy.
Depending on what happens, the French or the Italians may capitulate to one or the other; this can be the basis of one more war in order to take all the remaining states. Finally, the player can swing back into Democracy and thus gain the option to form the EU. Then the player could immediately swing back into another ideology and go for a world conquest.
