「Strategy」

This strategy is described with Historical AI turned on. If you are having difficulty capitulating the 同盟国 before the  美国 joins, you can also turn Historical AI off and go into the game settings and change the AI Behavior for every country to their historical path except  日本. Make sure Japan does not go down the historical path, and if they do, restart the run. Note that compared to normal Historical AI, the timing of other country’s decisions may be altered using this method.

It is suggested that you do NOT complete the focus Indianize The Army to keep the focus Learn from the Secret Intelligence Service available, which grants an operative slot. Also do not decrease the autonomy level of any of your Princely State puppets once they appear.

From the start of the game, do not spend any 政治点数 until the breakaway war starts. Go towards The Mughal Uprising. Build military factories in 北俾路支斯坦 (988) and put all new factories on infantry equipment. Delete five of your Rajput Regiment divisions, and convert the remaining one into the Infantry Division template. Train them up until you have at least 10 army exp. Queue up 1 Infantry Division for deployment, but DO NOT select a deployment location. Use fallback line orders to station the divisions in 南俾路支斯坦 (444) next to Karachi and in 白沙瓦 (442). When you reach 20 Command Power, promote Muhammad Ayub Khan to a Field Marshal.

Alternatively you can delay The Mughal Uprising to complete the Keep British Generals/Indianize The Army Branch, which requires that you stay in the Allies. Keep British Generals grants four more experienced generals. Completing the focus Colonial Cadet Exchange grants 10 well trained and equipped 9-0 infantry divisions with support artillery and recon after 365 days. These divisions are granted even during the breakaway war, so these divisions can spawn and help capitulate  英属印度 before the ceasefire, if timed well. Completing the focus Learn from the Secret Intelligence Service afterwards grants an additional operative slot, removing the need to find two large faction members or four large high autonomy puppets.

When the breakaway war starts, use your divisions to rush for Karachi and start advancing in the northern mountains. If none of the divisions that you kept were around Karachi, then deploy your one division in the deployment queue on the frontline down there to capture the port city. Queue up 5 more Infantry Divisions, so you will eventually have a full army of 24 divisions. Assign all your divisions to a frontline under your only General and Field Marshal, and give the Field Marshal the Offensive Doctrine trait when you have enough Command Power. Use your 政治点数 to buy Partial Mobilization, the Army Offense Specialist, and Infantry Expert. Add support artillery to your Infantry Division template.

Your objective is to encircle as many  英属印度 divisions as possible, and defend Karachi against naval invasions. When your 5 queued divisions reach the minimum training requirement, force deploy them near a weak part of the front line and use them as an offensive force to get encirclements. If the AI frontline order sent your mountaineer divisions to the south, swap them to the northern mountains to make the most of their attack and movement bonuses in mountain terrain. Once you have advanced to Delhi and encircled enough divisions for there to be multiple gaps in the enemy’s frontline, start snaking for valuable victory points such as Bombay, Nagpur, Lucknow, and Calcutta. If you are able to reach these cities before the ceasefire timer runs out, the  英属印度 will capitulate, and make your future attack much easier. (If you are really lucky and/or sneaky, you can even manage to capitulate British Burma - the key is to seize Rangoon - but you won't get to keep it after the ceasefire, so, you don't need to try hard. Just put troops on the border and keep Burma contained.) The UK will keep running naval invasions nonstop, targeting Karachi, Bombay, and Calcutta/Dacca. Keep forces on fallback lines in all three places.

After the ceasefire, do Peacock Prince and select the last option (Huseyn Shaheed Suhrawardy) for your new leader, as you will struggle with War Support in the future. Keeping in mind the date when your ceasefire with the Raj expires.

You will then have a choice of aligning with the Axis or with the Allies.

Option 1: Axis

This way, you may also be able to get the "Graveyard of the Empires" achievement (capitulating Afghanistan, Iran, and Iraq).

Do one or two more focuses before doing Revolt of the Princes. During the peacetime, train more Infantry Divisions, and buy the Political Loyalty 军校精神 to help recruit new generals.

Upon declaring on  英属印度, pause the game and request control over all of your new puppet’s divisions. Use these divisions to rush for enemy ports to make sure the Allied AI does not flood the  英属印度 with divisions. After capitulating the Raj (again), use the puppet divisions to guard your ports, and send your main army to defend against  英属缅甸. The Allied AI will be very aggressive with their naval invasions, so be vigilant. As opposed to using the garrison order to guard the ports, it is recommended to use fallback lines to put some divisions on the port itself, and then a division on the tile on either side of the port. When the AI naval invades, it is critical to not lose the port, but you can allow them to land on the sides of the port if you have some spare offensive units to kill them as soon as they land (the elephant divisions you get from 现代大象 work very well here). Getting lots on encirclements on the French and British AI are a good thing so you can get war score and reduce the overall number of divisions they have. During this time, it is important to start building up a navy, starting with 100+ convoys and then moving on to some cheap ships.

When  德国 declares war on the Allies, wait for an invite and join them. If you haven't done so yet, create an intelligence agency, buy the Illusive Gentleman advisor, get 5 agency upgrades, and then ask  德国 to become Spy Master. If you have substantially weakened the Allies by encircling their failed naval invasions, the 轴心国 should easily conquer  法国 and Egypt. You should be able to also easily conquer  英属缅甸 now that most Allied divisions have left.

With the Indian subcontinent secure, send one or more armies to northern  德国 and plan naval invasions through the Eastern North Sea and North Sea zones against Hull or Newcastle in the  英国. Bring whatever meager navy you have up to  德国 and put it on the Strike Force mission in the two aforementioned sea zones with the Engage at Low Risk rule. Eventually, the AI should (hopefully) drop their naval coverage for a few hours and allow your naval invasion to go through. If this does not happen before the  美国 joins the Allies, you may want to restart (or play for the long haul). Assuming you are able to capitulate the  英国 before the  美国 joins, you should enter the peace deal with a substantial amount of war score.

In the peace deal, focus on puppeting at least part of the  英国和 法国 in states that have lots of resources or factories. Other good countries to puppet are  南非 or  伊拉克. To make "我会找到出路，或者开出一条路（I shall either find a way or make one）" easier later on, you should also annex/puppet Corsica (1)和苏伊士 (446). If you wish to take  英属马来亚 or  荷属东印度, annex them rather than puppet them to avoid  日本 from declaring war on you later if they have gone down their historical path. Take whatever navy you can as well.

Only independent countries or puppets with the autonomy level of Dominion can contribute spies for the Spy Master, so it is imperative that you give your newly puppetted countries more autonomy. The best ways to do this is by buying all the resources your puppet is exporting, or by training divisions with their manpower (or requesting control over divisions the AI trains) and then using them in battle to get war contributions. This is somewhat challenged by the fact that if the Mughal Empire has the spirit The Peacock Throne, puppets will lose 0.5 autonomy points daily.  南非 does have the benefit of their Voortrekker Monument focus and spirit, which effectively cancels out The Peacock Throne. That, combined with the large amounts of exportable Chromium makes  南非 a good one to start with reducing autonomy. If you avoided going down the Indianize The Army path up until this point and have the  英国 as a puppet, you can now do Keep British Generals and work your way down to Learn from the Secret Intelligence Service, which will give you an additional operative slot.

Once you have enough strong Dominions or if other strong independent countries join the Axis, you will eventually reach 8 operative slots, and assuming you have completed the spy agency upgrade Psychological Warfare and have the cosmetic tag Mughal Empire, the achievement will fire.

Continuing on to “I shall either find a way or make one”

Build up Corsica (1) with a larger port and airfield. If you are in a war with your Axis allies, end it so you can leave the faction. Build cheap 1922 battlecruisers and combine them with any other stolen navy you have. Move your navy into the Mediterranean and put it on strike force in the Tyrrhenian Sea. Plan naval invasions against 拉齐奥 (2) from Corsica (1). Do not use elephant divisions for the invasion, as they have severe naval invasion penalties. Leave the Axis and justify a war goal on  意大利. Declare the war and launch the invasion with air and sea cover. Once you have occupied every province in the state, move an elephant division into the state or convert one of the divisions already there into an elephant division and the achievement will fire.

Option 2: Allies

This will give you the "Spies Trade" achievement ("As India, become the spymaster for the Allies.")

Assuming that you've managed to seize the entire old British Raj during the civil war, avoid entangling yourself in a war with the UK, and, instead, go down the Timurid Empire focus tree, which gives you justifications for Afghanistan, Sinkiang, Iran, and Iraq.

Convert your militia units into regular infantry. Invade Afghanistan as soon as the army is fully equipped. Follow up by invading Sinkiang (which is, at that time, busy fighting a defensive war against Japan.) If you're lucky, you can push far enough to get Urumqi before you run out of supply and China's reinforcements arrive. If not, you'll be stuck holding the line with low supply while you're building a supply depot. Eventually Sinkiang will fall and you'll be able to proceed down the focus tree. China will eventually collapse and you'll be able to take Sinkiang, Xibei San Ma, and maybe even Yunnan in the resulting peace deal. At that point, leave the Japanese faction, create a spy agency, do three upgrades (necessary to become spymaster), build up the army, put it on the border with China/Japan, and wait.

The difficulty here is that you are non-aligned (by default, Allies won't let anyone in unless they are either in a war on the same side, or their ruling party is Democratic.) And the UK will have issues letting you in if you generate too much world tension. For example, if you declare on Japan in 1942 after it invades British Malaya, the UK will invite you - at first - but then might kick you out of faction mid-war - they really can do that (and it's very annoying, especially when you already have 7 spies for the achievement and working on the 8th.) Justifying on Japan can generate as much as 15% tension, and that would be a deal-breaker for the UK. Your options are to risk it, to look for ways to minimize tension, or to wait for Japan to declare on _you_ (they may be motivated to get Yunnan.)

Once you're in, apply for spymaster.
