大清万岁（Hail to the Qing）

This achievement requires  满洲国 to form the Qing Empire via 国策.

「Strategy」

Take the 强硬 national focus sub-branch and build your military up. When dealing with the Bandits, one of the possible ways to deal with them is purging them, which requires that you stockpile infantry weapons then click the decision. Another way is to pacify them, which requires you have six divisions on three separate states each. The best thing to do in order to get many divisions is to pacify them. This will give several divisions of cavalry divisions. In order to pacify them, change the infantry to the weaker 3 infantry units. Train more divisions and bring the trained divisions on the field. Then, switch the cavalry to the weaker divisions. If done properly, you will only need to do one bandit event. When the Bolster Nationalism focus is reached, it is possible to recruit the cavalry from the decision and then change it to manpower by disbanding if necessary.

After dealing with the bandits, switch the divisions to the 6 infantry unit divisions. It is not necessary to upgrade the template because if you take the Staff the Court With Manchus focus then the Expand the Imperial Guards focus will give 20 width 7 infantry and 2 artillery divisions. Make sure to research artillery so it is possible to reinforce them. Build a strong army and place them on the Korean border to the east and the  蒙疆/ 日本 border to the west.  满洲国 may join the war against the  中国 but do not help. This is so the Japanese will be weaker when  满洲国 goes to war with them. Wait until Japan weakens China (when Japan controls most of the coast) to take the 独立战争 focus. If the Japanese are close to your border, it indicates that they both haven't fought long enough.

Once ready, Take the 独立战争 focus and take all of Korea first. This is so that there will only be one front needed to fight in. Have garrisons in the ports so the  日本 don't naval invade. Take as much Chinese territory as possible. This is because if  中国 surrenders,  日本 will take territory belonging to the Chinese not under  Manchu control. This will also give them more surrender progress against  满洲国 It may be beneficial to take the Offer Vassalization focus to vassalize the warlords if the war is going badly. be aware that you have to annex the warlords afterwards. Peace out with  中国 first. This way,  满洲国 will control if  日本 would white peace after they get kicked out of Asia or not. Once  中国 has surrendered, annex all land and push  日本 out of Asia. Once China is defeated, it is very important to take  新疆 territory first before Japan take or puppet them, because if you allow Japan to take those areas,  英属印度 can invade and occupy those area and prevent you from taking the focus. To take the 宣称天命 focus, you will need all of mainland China minus the European treaty ports so annex all of the warlord puppets if there are any. For 巨龙吞日（The Dragon Swallowed the Sun） achievement, do not let  日本 peace out as you will need to annex them. The easiest way to annex  日本 is by paratroopers, which is going to be a little harder if you accept their white peace since you have to go through Korea. You will need to build an airbase in South Korea so that you are within striking range of the mainland Japan and you will need to build some transport planes.

Alternative Strategy post No Step Back

For the focuses, rush the right side of the political focus tree and aim for Request Control of The Railways. Before unpausing, disband all of the cavalry plus 1 infantry division and have the rest train indefinitely to get some 陆军经验. Research trains because you do not start with it, and be sure to research Paratroopers, Support Equipment, Light Tanks, Fighters, and if possible CAS. Build 3 民用工厂 and the fill the rest with 军用工厂. Once the first focus is complete, spend the bad guns you start with on destroying the bandits which will get you 30 陆军经验, then wait until your army training give you more until you have 35 陆军经验 which should be spent immediately on State Serves the Military spirit on the Officers Corps, and you can stop the military training if the divisions are already at level 3. Once you finished researching trains, you should gain control of some of your own 军用工厂 and put 1 factory on guns, 1 on trains, 1 on transport planes, 1 on artillery, 1 on support, and adjust them as needed. Switch the transport planes to Fighters and then CAS once you got about 3 of them. Once you reach Request Control of The Railways, you can take the redirect tools 2 times and try to get just 1 military high command, you need the 政治点数和指挥点数 later. Try getting your third research slot for now, plus Invite Japanese Settlers for more 民用工厂, then you want to focus on taking all of the focuses at the bottom before Independence War. You will want to take the right side (Five Equal Peoples) as it gives better bonuses and the way you are going to acquire your equipment later. You want to get to Purge the Generals Affairs Council first as you can increase your conscription law for cheaper before taking the rest.

Once  日本 forms the faction, start improving relations with  委内瑞拉,  秘鲁, and maybe  多米尼加和 萨尔瓦多 as well and also ask for military access and sign non-aggression pact with  意大利 should accept without the need of improving relations beforehand. Make sure you bank 50 政治点数 before Sino-Japanese war starts, and once the war start, you want to prepare another 100 政治点数 and 50 指挥点数 to send attache to  日本 soon after the war starts. Join the war when  日本 calls you in and spend that 50 政治点数 on War Propaganda as soon as the decision pops up, but do not help them with your military. Do not put troops on the  中国 border at all as  日本 will not attack if you do. Start training large amount of divisions as you can, and improve the template as soon as you get the XP. In the mean time, with the equipment deficit, start asking for lend-lease from those you just improved relations with as well as from  日本. Ask for everything, guns, artillery, support equipment, trucks, light tanks, aircrafts. Also, getting lend-lease from the South Americans will put you into a convoy deficit, which means you can modify your lend-lease and ask for convoys from them. You will want to get as many convoys as you can this way.

Once your 民用工厂 are complete, help  日本 by building a 补给中心 on the Suiyuan area and another just before the river on the railways where  日本 might have problems with supply. Take the decision to make it faster. Otherwise, focus on getting a large army of good divisions, like 24-25 width infantry with artillery and engineer support and some paratroopers. Once your military high command is filled up, you can start spending 指挥点数 on preparing to take  日本的 supply decision until it cannot be pressed anymore. You can take whatever focuses at this point, like improving relations with  德国 or finish up the top left focuses you left off while you prepare. You will want at least 4 full army groups, preferably 5 or more, when you start the fight with  日本. Once WW2 starts in Europe, you can ask for lend-lease for non-aligned countries as well.

The best time to stab  日本 in the back would be in early 1940. If you see  日本 started the focus Propose the Tripartite Pact , it means you have to take the 独立战争 focus immediately though you can do it earlier. To prepare, put one army group on the northern half of  蒙疆 border, another on the southern half, an army group on East Hebei border, a small group to push into Dalian, and 2-3 army groups including your paratroopers on the Korean border. Have them plan and set them on aggressive. Once the war starts, kick  日本 out of Korea and try to gain as much land as possible in  中国 (press the button for more free guns). Do not kick  日本 out of  中国 so they don't white peace. Build an 空军基地 in South Korea and prepare to invade  日本 from there. Try to secure a port, Hiroshima, Osaka, and the unmarked Suruga port north of Osaka are best targets. Defeating Japan should be easy as most of their troops are still in  中国. Puppet  日本 in the peace deal and take the islands they occupy plus Korea.  中国 will inevitably take Taiwan so you are going to need to naval invade or paratroop there later.

With  日本 done, if you control some area in  中国 in the south, immediately send your troops in  日本 there if possible. Keep pushing from Northern  中国 and see for opportunity to naval invade. Surround Nanjing without capturing it so the Chinese troops out of supplies. Remember, you need to invade Taiwan to capitulate  中国. Keep asking for lend-lease if you lack equipment. You should eventually win and be able to take the focus. If you want The Dragon Swallowed The Sun achievement, you can lend-lease convoys to  日本 until you can annex them.
