I have plenty of IC, since I'm not currently building anything. Dissent gets back to 0 pretty fast. Things are looking good, another update coming today.
Chapter IV. Operation Buffer
Lebrun was in his car, on his way to a meeting with the rest of the ministers. Last week's plans were supposed to be concluded today. Next to him was a document, signed "top secret". The first page had only one sentence: Operation Buffer. The government had planned a military assault on the Netherlands, forcing them to flee to their colonies in Indonesia. This would create a strong France against the possible German attack.
The operation started with a swift offensive:
Progress was made quickly, and Amsterdam was captured on the 13th of May 1937. After the final region, Utrecht was captured, the Dutch government announced this:
(OOC: I created that event. It's basically the same the dutch capitulation, except that it is for France)
A strong European wall is now forged. But if the Germans would attack, all industry would be destroyed by the bombings. Therefore, Lebrun was already planning to make the most ambitious conquest ever: to take on the United States.
His plans were strengthened when the UK accepted to give us military access.
20 divisions were now headed towards Bahama.

Yes!
You can do it!
What of taking Hawaii and Guam?
Are they VP's also?
And where else could they possibly hide after you take the mainland?

Good luck, even if the US should be still quite weak.
I just hope that the Germans won't stab you in the back.

We'll see how it goes, but I don't think I'll bother with conquering all those little islands. I'll probably just take the mainland + hawaii and then create an event that gives me those areas and makes peace.
Be tuned, for another update is coming today!

Chapter V: The Ambition
On the 7th of August, the French government declared war. A surprise attack was carried out, resulting in the conquest of Miami.
Another 10 divisions arrived to assist the other divisions. Soon a foothold of 9 provinces was acquired. But because of the increased amount of provinces in the front and decreased supply, another landing was commenced in Norfolk. They would capture Washington D.C and other important cities, ensuring constant supply for our forces:
Washington D.C was shortly captured, and it was a hard strike in the U.S morale. Now the troops would continue to secure the coast, while more divisions are every month being transferred from the mainland. Soon we would makes the front smaller, making it possible to expand faster and we don't need to worry about leaving provinces unattended.

The Americans were cleary unprepared for such an invasion, it should be easy to defeat them.
America guarantees everyone but nobody guarantees them, it makes em look strong but you just opened my eyes that they are easy pickings for European powers

That's right. I remember a HoI2 AAR where someone invaded the USA as Germany in '36.
You can even own them as Spain. Hell, even Portugal can hurt them by declaring war in January 1936, conquering some VP provinces and making a quick peace.
Who would defend the defender, who would guard the guardian?
What of Panama?
Forgot to mention that, Panama has been taken.
Chapter VI: A quick expansion
A quick update.
Not much resistance was met. U.S armies of 1-3 divisions were easily crushed, and breakthrough was achieved on every single front. New York was captured only three days after Washington DC. The French soldiers have reached Central U.S!!!
Okay now. My warscore is +100 with the USA. Should I conquer all their mainland provinces and make an event, giving me it all, or should I just puppet them and head to Europe/Canada/Mexico?

I say puppet the remnant of the US.
Transfer their overseas possessions to you, and let the US have all east of Mississippi and south-east of Ohio river.
Would look good on the map.
Maybe also create Pacific states as a puppet, while you can own Louisiana.

Release Texas (for oil), the confederates (for a militarily strong puppet) and California (for flavor) and keep the rest (to use as IC, island bases and to transfer the resources of your new puppets towards your economy).
That actually sounds better.
Remember to release Texas and California before CSA. Then if possible New England? Small numerous puppets are always good.
All right, I'll capture the ConUS (not all those little islands) and make an event that gives me that area. Then starts the grand minigame "Partition of the U.S".
