East Indies Reworked - A Road to 56 Submod

Main mod URL
Paradox Mods URL[mods.paradoxplaza.com]

This mod is a "Road to 56"-compatible submod of "Hollandia Historica: East Indies Reworked" mod, aimed to integrate EIR's content in the widely-acclaimed RT56 mod and better portray the historical situation of the Indies in mid 1930s until the late 1940s (to be extended into mid-1950s). As such, no more Westerling or Soeharto in 1937, but lots of historical characters has been added to the game such as Hubertus van Mook, Mohammad Hoesni Thamrin, and Hamengkoeboewono VIII, military officers such as Hendrikus Ferwerda, Gerardus Berenschot, and Oerip Soemohardjo, and many others!

1. Maintain the fragile balance between the Dutch conservatives who has the backing of both KNIL officers and Western corporatists, and the Dutch progressives who has the backing of the Indonesian elites, and in turn, the 60-million strong Indonesian nation, in face of the imminent conflict in the Pacific in the near future? Or:

2. Push forward and (with blessing of the Indonesians) put the Stuwgroep in the Raad van Indie, ensuing that the idea of an Indies dominion within the Dutch Commonwealth would be realized sooner, and alongside that, reform both the East Indies government and military, while dealing with both rigid militarists and unbowed European corporatists, before Japan comes down knocking? (Together for Victory required)

3. Close down the Volksraad and put an end to the Indonesian Independence Movement with the help of Dutch (or German) paramilitaries, cut your ties with the weak democrats and reclaim the glory of Dutch Empire of old? (Together for Victory required)

4. Resist the impending crackdown and establish a new Indonesian Republic. Then either seek help from Japan and liberate Asia from the colonialists together, or make amends with the Westerners and stand against fascism? (Together for Victory required)

5. Spark off the Second Indonesian Revolution with the help of the Indonesian Communist Party, and then either embark on an Anti-Colonialist Struggle against both the Western and Japanese Imperialists alone, or seek help from the existing International? (Together for Victory required)

6. With a ‘secret’ evacuation of [DATA EXPUNGED], put an end of Dutch Imperialism as the [DATA EXPUNGED], and either embark on an Anti-Imperialist struggle or help Japan to drive off the Westerners? (Together for Victory and Waking the Tiger Required)

Disclaimer: Play the ahistorical paths with your own risk, as the branches are not as developed and thoroughly tested as the both colonial branches
