This will prolong the time you have before those nasty Russian is having ideas.ħ). Also up the diplomatic relations with Russia pass 100. They start with no army, so just another free conquest with loads of RP.Ħ). If consciousness is high enough Taiping rebellion will occur. Plus zero time and infamy wasted on war justification, since you have the restore order CB for free.ĥ). I usually finish westernization in the early 1860s by just reconquering GuanXi, Yunan and Qinghai alone. Absorb Yunan and Qinghai alone will net you around 20000 RP each, if done right on the right time. Not to mention Japan is narrow (not much room to manouever, which force you to fight pitch battle with higher war exhaustion as result) and not to mention the logistical vulnerability due to geography (seperated by bodies of water).

The gimmick of course is reaborbing your old substates gives you MUCH MUCH more points on a much faster rate (free CB), with less (0) infamy than conquering South East Asian States, or Japan for that matter.

Anyway, Yunan is next, which will be less of a challenge than GuangXi.Ĥ). If you're lucky, your Infamy will be 20000 RP in one go. Deliberately white peace out and watch your militancy shoot to 10. DOW on one of them and add all the war goals. The first thing you do is justify 5 war goals on one of the South East Asian weaklings, be it Dai Nam, Burma or Siam. Which means: "Die first, rebirth later".ġ). Turbo westernization by breaking up the Chinese Empire and reabsorb the substates is the best way to become the Yellow Monstrosity that is China. Abusing the HOD westernization mechanics is key.

Your can westernize China in the late 50's and begin 60's on average and mid 50's if you are really lucky.
