Our starting cabinet.

Our first slider move toward Standing Army.
31379492.jpg


February 4, 1933: Come on AI, cheat all you want.
60184365.jpg


February 6, 1933: Sure, do the standard release and annex event. It wouldn't be Mod 34/Iron Cross without the event.
48403008.jpg


February 10, 1933: The first of many Cooperation Agreement event for the USA. How we manage to sign a cooperation agreement with our self is a little confusing. That and this event tends to fire about ten times during the first few months of a new year.
75163960.jpg


With little IC, we need to trim our military. Before:

110ds.jpg


February 16, 1933: Someone tried to kill Mr. Frank.
111mbg.jpg


Hey look! Auto trader is trading my spare resources for money! Go auto trader! Also we have no supplies to give to our navy/air force.
112qh.jpg


One new thing about Iron Cross: You have to pay for manpower in your manpower pool. Of course, there is a way around this.
113tf.jpg


Meet our ghost army. You don't have to pay for manpower used to production things. Build some units + don't assign IC to produce them = cost free manpower!

127f.jpg


July 28, 1933: If 'freedom' is merely the right to choose where in this beautiful country one if free to starve, then we say starve!
128ffe.jpg


August 7, 1933: With no more dissent, we have 77 IC to work with. Too bad we still have a starving military.
129o.jpg


October 1, 1933: We finish feeding our military, and have leftover IC! Instead of building an army, we improve the infrastructure on all oil producing provinces for more oil and improve the infrastructure on all provinces that have more then 5 IC in them.
130tj.jpg


October 18, 1933: More research power!
131ob.jpg
