Vietnam (The Alliance of the Lords)

Vietnam is one of the three indochinese communist states that is a satellite State of China. It is ruled by Ho Chi Minh and has large manpower. Their enemies are America, Iran, Thailand and Japan

Army is comparatively large but only 2-brigade divisions.

Technology Lagging behind in most areas. The Military is the only faction technologically advanced in Vietnam, the people are lagging behind technology wise and still live feudal culture.

Distribution of Leadership 4.28 leadership from start.

Diplomacy

Union of the Comintern Pact

Since the Soviet Union is United with Poland Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, East Germany formed the Warsaw Pact. China’s going to want to have a Pact of its own so you should stir up the other Satellite States of China and tell them the news. An AI playing a Satellite State will automatically decide this.

Alliances Starts as allied with China.

Decisions

Navy involved in Korea

Vietnam will be the Satellite State that China will force to get involved with the North Korean War. If you decide yes then you get a bonus on Navy surpluses that can result in better chances of colonial domination.

Politics

Ministers

Laws Initially very inefficient for preparation for war.

Political Parties Intelligence Get domestic spies to help the Communist Party.

Economy Weak. Initially virtually all production goes into Consumer Goods. Cannot even manufacture Supplies in sufficient numbers to feed initial forces without help from China

Trading Surplus of Energy. Deficit in everything else.

Early trade with North Korea for metal and rare materials is advised.

Industrial Production Large base but poorly exploited. Deficit in Metal and Rares will further hinder preparations for war with Japan (which is virtually inevitable).

Military

Army Several militia and infantry divisions at start. 2 weak cavalry divisions at start.

Navy

Only good at annexing weak island colonies with Destroyers

Air Force

No

War America is main enemy. Will likely declare war on you in mid-1968. Expect to die.

War with Persia

Persia is enemy if you want Malaysia
