It's time this hemisphere learnt the true meaning of 'Corporate takeover'.

Vote seems pretty one-sided, calling it early.



We shall lay waste to Ixachitlan. Those who will not bow willingly will have to stand on their stumps.

And then there is Asia. Here Angkor and the Oste Wasi, both threatened by the rise of a Hanseatic China, have decided to make a stand against us. There is also the Bharatiya Union, a common witness to the worst excesses of our practices through its neighboring Raj. Our role here will be initially one of support and defense, as our objective of a complete scouring of Ixachitlan should retain our troops for years. Nonetheless, this League has been built on ambition and our forces will not shy from deregulating the eastern markets if that is what the Hansa demands of them.

THE BHARATIYA UNION
If anyone has a legitimate reason to antagonize us…
(War with this nation has not begun, but they will probably attack our allies during the Great War)

T) The Peace of Kotte: Peace with the guildists is possible, just look at the Neubautener Congress! But seriously, we should force them to acknowledge the legitimacy of the Raj by killing so many of them that they will have no other option but to do so and so open the path for lasting peace and commerce between our people.
Military victory, no land belonging to the Hanseatic Raj may be occupied. This will force them to remove all their cores from the Raj.

B) The Karnata Restoration: My spies have unconvered that the Ummatur dynasty still exists, the last descendant of the Emperor is a worker in a farm collective in Punjab. We can take this woman, groom her into one of our own and gift her with the throne of all of India as our very own enlightened despot.
Complete victory over the communists. We will release the Karnata Empire as a Hanseatic ally.

U) The Princely Proposal: An united India will always remain a threat. Divide and conquer, I say. We will restore the local aristocracy of the smaller Indian provinces, so that each will be too weak to challenge us and as for those places we cannot draft local allies for… Give them to the Raj, so those commies will know the true meaning of capitalist exploitation.
Complete victory over the communists. We will release every single princely state from the Union and the rest of India will go to the Raj’s administration.

ANGKOR:
The last great city.

a) The Restoration of China: Angkor took advantage of the Yian Civil War to acquire all of southern China and even some of its western territories. For six wars they have defeated the Yian Empire in its attempts to recover the territory. We will show them that the Hansa is much more capable of achieving its goals.
Holding every Chinese core, plus military victory. Hanseatic China recovers all cores.

A) Warplan Orange: Why settle for restoring China? We can do so much more, Angkor is a city grown large and prosperous through its dominance of many other peoples. Let us break this local power. Siam, Burma, Dai Nam, their names will once again be seen on the map and Angkor will never again have the chance to challenge China or anyone else.
Complete occupation of Angkor territories. China gets her cores and everyone in their nation gets released.

THE OSTE WASI
Those guys.

t) The Pacific Monopolies Act: The Oste Wasi holds many valuable islands, either for their own resources or as staging points for their navy. We could use those for our ourselves, so let’s take over them and truly dominate the Pacific Trade.
Defeat their navy, remove every Oste Wasi military presence outside Japan, Aoteroa and the mainland. I am not occupying every stupid Pacific Island. We get all their minor islands. May be combined with vote o.

o) The Eastern Extension: We require a buffer territory to guarantee the security of China from further aggression. Through military conquest we shall secure their lands along the Bohai Sea and make of Corea a puppet state of Hanseatic China. That should dissuade them from pursuing further conflict with China.
Military victory, occupation of Manchuria and Korea. May be combined with vote t.

w) Contract Termination: This world only has a place for one international trade league and that would be us. Sack their palaces, defenestrate the board of directors and dissolve the Oste Wasi. Simple.
Occupy all of the home islands, continental holdings of the Oste Wasi and Aoteroa. They will be split into Taiwan, Japan, Aoteroa, Manchuria and Phillipines-With-Another-Name There will be no more Oste Wasi.

Guys, I'm pretty sure forcing Zearoth to play 30~ years of Vicky hellwars will cause him to tank it because it's awful to play + would make sense narratively. Probably push back the last couple updates by a few months as well. Also helping China is just gonna make it unpuppet and become a GP.

Jinshan is a constitutional monarchy, rather liberal and economically advanced (so living hell for factory workers), though not to the extent that Neubauten is. Both the people and the government look to the Hansa as friends, though the left is suspicious of our intentions.

Also, at the request of BasquelandDude, you can find the alliance map of the Great War here.

So much this. The von Bardewicks have been thorns in our sides since the very get go, to cease anything to them would be scandalous, and to allow them to keep what they have would be even worse. T will acknowledge the Raj, U will give land to the Raj, thus...

B2: Let's get India under proper Hansaetic rule, and wipe those pesky von Bardewicks off the map while we're at it.

As for the rest, Angkor have been a come-and-go enemy just as the Oste Wasi have been a come-and-go ally. Let's treat them as such.

a, o: We shall make China great again, and we shall give the Oste Wasi a slap on their fingers for forgetting their place as a Hansaetic ally. Simple!
