Unfortunate that Admiral Shimamura's service was short lived, however any good Japanese officer has a faithful son to continue a fine legacy. Consider Admiral Takae Shimamura ready to serve the emperor like his father before him! If no one else requests such, he'll be willing to lead the Suez patrol fleet. On a more policy related note: The Philippines remain an unsightly Spanish blob in the middle of the Japanese Empire, it should be removed. Otherwise either doubling down on the industrial buildup is always an option, or there's the still uncolonized DaiViet to sweep up and give an opening into southern china and the massive labor available there. scavy131 fucked around with this message at 00:41 on Apr 5, 2018 |

Digging this LP! I move we take that chunk of British Canda on the West Coast. Because the US won't get cores on that, right? Plus it reduces border gore. A photograph from one of the Japanese delegations to Egypt to negotiate the lease of the land for the Suez Canal:

Oh the UK, USA, and France could still give me a major asskicking. When great wars are unlocked, we will see where we are at. The success we enjoy has almost entirely been at th expense of picking off secondary powers or Great Powers being too wrapped up in Europe.

KYOON GRIFFEY JR posted:what about the sun rising and silhouetting a wallaby or something I mean, there's not a lot of space to work with since the image is so small plus the Japanese traditionally didn't make their own flags for their occupied lands. They either used the national flag or their original flag.  I can try to whip something up, but I'll need to find suitable images first.Speaking of which, I altered the flag so it now has red instead of blue in the main part. https://ufile.io/96xh9

While NZ would increase our share in the Wool market, moving into the Philippines, Dutch indies and southeast Asia would be much more beneficial as tropical woods and rubber would greatly aid the economy and that extra manpower would be very appreciated. The Europeans have the advantage of a head start, so we must industrialize faster and with a larger workforce if we wish to surpass them.

Why not both? We can continue sphering more peripheral nations or those that border other GPs, like Burma, NZ, parts of Africa and so on, and Militarily incorporate areas closer, like the Philippines, Vietnam, Dutch Indies and parts of China. It's just a matter of defining where we'd like the buffer states to be for the Greater Prosperity Sphere.

Admirals seem to live for only ten, fifteen years at most in Vicky 2, it feels like sometimes. Either way, Saruwatari Yoshihide is following his grandfather's footsteps as Admiral of the Imperial Japanese Navy. He advocates heavily armouring steam vessels, or even building ships entirely out of iron and steel, so they might dread nothing and laugh off all attempts to destroy them. I also vote for Both, if possible. Otherwise, sphere as possible.

The phillipines has 3 million or so inhabitants. An island chain that large that bisects our home possessions and our colony's cannot be allowed. It posses an existential threat to our ability to ship and receive supplies in the event of war. Annex the Philippines under arms, and use it as a colonial base to sphere the less significant regions in the Indies. We also need to take the Indies to secure our selves in the region but as weak as Spain and the Dutch are we can wait on that until we're ready to fight another civilized country.

As a more long term goal we're going to need to seize Hawaii. The US is shaping up to be quite the superpower and cutting off their access to the Pacific is going to be the only way to ensure Japanese hegemony over the region in the long term.

Agreed, particularly if the US hasn't done so yet. If they have sphered/annexed it, then we may want to kick that ball down the road a few years until the Philippines are consolidated, but I'm all for moving as far east as Hawaii with our Pacific expansion. But SE Asia and the (soon to be) Chinese Provinces are where the real money is to be made.

So the plan then is to probably wait while our armies and navies rebuild, work on sphering and reducing infamy, then going to bat against Spain, I think total SEA hegemony is out of the question, but if we wait until great wars start it is possible.
