Emperor Puyi's installation as Emperor of Manchukuo is not yet accepted by the Manchurian populace, let alone the rest of China. We will have to establish the Emperor's independence from Japan to rally the nation under him.

The Japanese are unwilling to provide us with the technical knowledge to challenge their fleet in open combat, but they consider submarine warfare an auxilliary arm. We, of course, do not necessarily need to share that opinion. |

Manchukuo gets the national spirit:
 Train Marines
Our long coastline is vulnerable to enemy landings, but it also provides the opportunity to attack from an unexpected direction should an enemy invade overland.

With the success of the previous cruiser design, we can scale it up and improve its performance, creating a more capable ship to defend our fleets. |
 Coastal Patrol Planes
|
Manchukuo:
|

 Naval Aviation
|
Manchukuo:
|
Manchukuo:
|
The future of naval warfare is the aircraft carrier. We will never be considered a true naval power unless we posess carriers of our own. |
 Carrier Air Wing
|
Manchukuo:
|
Manchukuo:
|
A carrier is only as good as the planes that fly off of it. We must ensure that these are the most capable and most modern types available. |

 Renegotiate the Unequal Treaties
|
Manchukuo:
The following will bypass the focus:
|
Manchukuo:
|
For too long, the westerners have dictated how we should conduct business inside our own borders. Their citizens are protected from our laws, and we have no say about how they do business in our cities. This must end. We will stand as equals to them once again. |
 One China Policy

Manchukuo:
The following will bypass the focus:
|
Manchukuo:
|
In the turmoil that followed the revolution, a number of areas broke away and attempted to form their own states.

Strengthened as we are now, we will publically declare that we lay claim to the old Chinese borders that have stood for centuries before. |
| Integrate Tibet
|
Manchukuo:
|

Manchukuo: Gains claim on Arunachal Pradesh (434) | The old border drawn up between the Imperial Government and the British was never correct, even when the British pretended to respect it. For decades, we have been too weak to contest it. No more. |

|
If Manchukuo is Faction Leader and British Raj is independent:

 Influence Mongolia
|
Manchukuo:
|
If Manchukuo is Faction Leader and Mongolia is independent:
If not:
