Mexico Guide
Goals:
1. Create massive amounts of strong infantry to fight in asia
2. Possibly pivot to D'DAY in the late game & help provide line infantry for the allied landing
To achieve these goals we’ll be spamming fun 2, and leveraging the “Mass Assault” doctrine, right side
.
Opener
Assign pride of the fleet for free 5 war support. With an attache to spain you’ll have 25 war support i.e. enough to go partial mob (very important).
A word on “civil wars”:
Most people will tell you to rush the arrest or support caudillo focuses - these remove the “general caudillo uprising” spirit that you have, if this is neglected for too long you get a civil war.
In reality you can be a bit cute with it, as you have focuses which reset the timer , look at your decisions - if it gets to caudillo tension very high the next rollover = civil war.
Now obviously - this is a guide, I’ve laid out all the focuses for you, follow this guide step by step and won't have any issues, but it's nice to understand the mechanics.
One div training
Exercise this starting division, put support AA in it, over time you will get lots of army xp:
Agency:
Create an agency day 1, spy on japan to get intel advantage over him. No further upgrades:
Once you stop gaining intel, switch to quiet network:
Construction:
1 infra in Coahuila
Civs in Coahuila / mexico city / other 60% slots until May 1938 - then mills
Starting Production:
Research: (Rough guide, basically rush industry, dispersed not concentrated, get gun 2 and spam it, passive techs).
Slot 1:
Basic tools
Electronic mechanical computing
Dispersed 1
Dispersed 2
Dispersed 3
Assembly Line production (tools 4)
Slot 2
Leave open 30 days, to juggle basic tools into electromechanical computing
Finish basic machine tools
Construction 1
Construction 2
Improved tools

Anti Democratic Raids
Anti Communist Raids
Anti Fascist Raids
War industrialist
Prosecute Clergyman - > keep clicking until >95% stability
Military Theorist
Attache canada (the air controller) for air XP when world war 2 starts
Do democratic raids after you join allies via focus
Go to extensive
Save PP for total mob, war bonds (you can go no focus for a bit dockyards less important than PP for total mob)
Church mechanics:
If you are under 70% stab and you have either atheist state of catholic state - you will get a civil war, to avoid this just don't click options which take to you the extreme of either side of your church support, stick around weak - assertive church
With this build you’ll be easily >70% stab late game, so you can go atheist state for the 20% factory output if you’d like.

Officer corps:
As soon as you get 35xp take “professional officer corp” for extra command power, with your next 20xp take political loyalty. Before war switch “professional officer corp” -> “quick improvisation”, and take “operational reserves” in your last slot.
