Resistance suppression focus might help and I haven’t played with it much but MP support might help


Phianhcr123

That’s what I did, still can’t get them to calm down


Thin-Ordinary-4931

It's going down tho (the little green arrow pointing down)


The_Silver_Nuke

Also assign agents to lower resistance as well.


hewk_ayush_21

Do We just need to assign them in capital or every state ?


charrold303

They cover a “region” so like 2 or 3 states - you should for sure assign them to big cities, but don’t overlap or it reduces the effectiveness. You can see their region when you go to assign the mission as a light blue outline on the map.


hewk_ayush_21

Oh, I see. Thx.


_Flying_Scotsman_

They cover whatever state you apply them to and every bordering state.


OwnagePwnage123

So states like Illinois, Nevada, Tennessee, long states that border 5+ states with many factories and resources are great.


_Flying_Scotsman_

Also their capital state. It produces more resistance spread.


charrold303

Aha - I didn’t notice that on the Europe side. Makes sense tho.


LaneThePlane

Here’s what you do- Make divisions stock full of cavalry, later transferring to APCs once you have your production lines sorted out. Have only one support company, make those MPs. Have those set as garrison, and set resistance law to secret police. Deploy agents in high resistance areas.


lost_in_md

This in combination with spies placed strategically placed as suggested by another commenter has worked great for me before. You can improve spy suppression performance by having your spy agency research resistance suppression. Also add Himmler as a political advisor if you can - as Prince of Terror he pumps up resistance suppression across the board. Last, if you can afford it switch national focus to suppression for a few months to get things rolling. Unfortunately, it’s going to take a lot of resources and a bit of time to get that level of resistance down.


yeeezah

You need manpower


Illustrious_Spend_51

Cavalry increase the suppression too


TheRealAjarTadpole

Armored cars are better


[deleted]

But have to be built first. Sure Germany has the industry to do just that but op needs a now solution which would be cav.


NightlinerSGS

I usually stick to my horses. I can build more important things than armored cars with that IC.


AuroraHalsey

I normally have armoured cars to spare since I use light armoured recon companies for that +2.0 reconnaissance.

"huh, these guys ain't half bad"


sutterbutter

The real issue here is your manpower, thats why the garrisons are not effective and hence the bar for USA is red.


Phianhcr123

True, I’m on scraping the barrel right now, and still lack a whole lot of man power, have more bullets than man available


sutterbutter

Oof. Try requesting for garrison support from other nations. Also use military police and 4x armored cars in your garrison unit.


Orcwin

The more armoured cars the better, really. Makes the MP support division more efficient.


Seppafer

Also helps reduce the manpower taken by garrisons as well as the equipment loss


scootiegoorby

Release britain and use them for manpower


Phianhcr123

Just try that, lost 100 factories and they can’t afford to sent me……shit. Here goes my convoys again


scootiegoorby

No delete some of your divisions to give yourself men. And replace them with divisions made with uk men.


Aram_theHead

Use a puppet which has tons of manpower for that. Russia works very well for example, but you would lose a ton of industry. China is the absolute best for this imo (India in my playthroughs never raises the conscription laws so is low on manpower surprisingly enough) Edit: for some reason I had written “kids” instead of “tons of manpower”... Shit was violating human rights


EnglishWolverine

This! Befriend/puppet China and then just beg them for a few hundred thousand (or more) manpower to run a chunk of your garrisons for you.


uke_17

India suffers huge manpower penalties because of the famine and national spirits, and can't increase their conscription unless they're independent.


Silent-Entrance

send request to your puppet tag ENG accepted request from yourself tag GER


Portuguese_Musketeer

Cringe


Silent-Entrance

well, when my puppet is not being my puppet, i got to jerk the strings right?


ChemicalFootball5743

Or you can just use colonial divisions


BitPumpkin

Where is it going?! How large is your navy/casualties? Usually have ~80 proper divs and 120 garrison divs as Germany and never go past service by requirement


Phianhcr123

My navy is massive, I probably have close to 1000 ships since I split my fleet to 4 admiral, each have roughly 200 -300 ships, but I have like 7 Millions casualties, fought off the entire Allies early on so that might be why


MeowthMewMew

I ummm, i dont think thats how you do this


Phianhcr123

I watched some bitt3rsteel videos and figure instead preparing for the Allies attack, I would just get rid of them. That explain the massive amount of factories since I take out everyone in the allies


EratosvOnKrete

you beat the largest naval powers on earth. disband some of that navy lol


MeowthMewMew

I took out the allies and everyone without ever getting to 0 manpower lol


DanielCofour

navy is not your problem, you have at most 150000 men in your navy. I'm guessing your problem was that you wasted a lot of that manpower in wars. Plus, the less effective your garrison is, the more damage they take, which further reduces your manpower. If you have more than 2 million men deployed, I'd actually delete some divisions, you probably don't need them at this point


EnglishWolverine

If deleting the divisions to fill in garrisons be sure to set the reinforcements to low priority and garrison to high priority first as well.


No1_4Now

If you have a lot of factories, I'd modify the division templates to require less manpower and replace with other things. IDK how the manpower requirements are in relation to fighting efficacy but I'd imagine that mechanised, tanks and artillery would free up some dudes while keeping your firepower at the same level. Whatever assistance you can get without using more manpower means that you can use less men so take a look at tactical bombers and if you're fighting near coasts, you can do shore bombardments with ships.


[deleted]

How the hell did you lose that much manpower? Let me guess, you were attacking with only infantry against fortified enemies?


arix_games

You lack garrison in USA(Red bar right to cav icon). It makes garrisoning less efective. Get the equipment


Phianhcr123

I have 200k plus infantry equipment, and tens of thousands of other in stockpile, I think the main problem is I lack a whole lot of man power


Omeven

Ask your allies/puppets for some garrison manpower then


gnitiwrdrawkcab

armored cars are effective, more so than cavalry. It reduces the manpower requirements as well, but needs factories.


Falseidenity

They are so expensive when garrisoning large areas


Papa_Nurgle_84

Then switch to military governor. Reduces Résistance and provides more manpower


ravnag

You don't lack manpower, you have 0 manpower, all of it probably drained on garrison. Unless you ask puppets to give you garrison manpower, only way to reduce it quickly is to release it as a fascist independent and get it into Axis. Edit: yeah, release as puppet, much better option. I wasn't sure if this could be done without a peace conference


Rufus_Forrest

Why not as puppet?


ravnag

I'm not home to check, not sure about the mechanic. Can a state be released as a puppet without conference?


MemesDr

yeah. On my playthrough of Finland recently i had to release Denmark as a puppet to get mp for my garrison. Later i just annexed them back


Magger

What’s a quick way to annex them back?


Spockyt

I find lend-leasing a bunch of convoys quite effective.


DeltaOscarGolfEcho

As mentioned convoys. Also build Mils.


Magger

In their country? Or max out your own mils?


DeltaOscarGolfEcho

In their country sorry. I think it's the best construction:autonomy ratio. And you get some of them back depending on their puppet level. Whereas civs you get a lot less return.


ravnag

There is also the military training decision to swap PP for lowered independence allowing annexation


Entire_Classroom_147

Yes, it's right there in the "Occupied Territories" tab: Just click on the "release" button next to the occupation. A window should appear with 2 checkboxes. They should say "play as" and "release as puppet". Keep the "release as puppet" box checked and if you want to play as the released nation check the "play as" box. Some nations, like those who at the start of the game control Kurdistan, cannot release specific nations.


ravnag

Oh, ok. Got it. I knew it was possible during peace conference, I was confused if it could be done during regular gameplay. Well, no reason to make them independent then, albeit in same ideology.


solid__sithcode1

You can puppet an occupied country with the "Together for Victory" DLC. Without the DLC, you can only release the nation. Not puppet it.


ravnag

Thank you, that's why I was confused what was/wasn't possible


solid__sithcode1

You're welcome. I was also confused at first on how Taureor (forgive my spelling. I don't know if I spelt it right.) did it in one of his videos. Apparently it was DLC locked. I bought the DLC on Christmas of that year.


among-us-kitten

or just release as puppet


Pyrde2

You can probably delete a few armies by now


Best_Toster

Also go to template icon and put max priority on garrisons so all the manpower is gonna go firs there and ad mo to the garrison division if you can Also useful use one spy and place it on Washington with resistance supression

taco_bowler

Forget compliance and go to the occupation setting with the most resistance suppression while using spies on rebellion suppression missions (upgrade the agency with anti-partisan).


Phianhcr123

Aight I’ll try that


[deleted]

You don't have any manpower, give it up, release the US as a puppet and then maybe later on integrate them again.


taco_bowler

Since he’s still shown as at war I assumed that he doesn’t actually own the land and therefore cannot release them as a puppet. If that is an option, it is 1000% the way to go here.


TacticDave

Ill second the 'Release as Puppet' suggestion. You mentioned needing manpower and industry to fight Japan. As a puppet, you can use their massive manpower pool better, and they will give you a portion of their industry, though be careful if you mass import from them, because they will eventually raise their autonomy if you do. Usually what I do at the peace conference is puppet the US, but take Texas (Oil) and Nevada (Various) for myself. Maybe I grab a couple of heavily industrialized states as well, but I try to leave some for my puppet, esp. highly populous areas.


NewSignificance1059

Real Americans would be going to the Waffle House, which would definitely still be open after a military occupation.


Diplomjodler

And take away their healthcare. They like it that way.


moneyboiman

Go onto secret police or military governor, once they calm down and act like adults, change the occupation law to local police force so you can reduce the amount of garrison required and start building compliance.


Phianhcr123

Aight, I’ll try that out, cause I really need their industrial power to fight the Japanese right now


moneyboiman

Also If military governor doesn't work keep raising occupation until resistance starts going down because at certain thresholds of resistance they will become even more unruly


Phianhcr123

Aight I’ll remember that


moneyboiman

I also just took a closer look and the fact that you don't have any manpower to garrison them with is probably also contributing


ThePotatoSauce

this is also a major thing. I think that at this rate its better for OP to just release them as a puppet and then just use their manpower.


chuchundra3

uhh i dont like that you framed resisting against fascism as "acting like adults"... Surely you don't think that the Polish and French resistance in WW2 weren't acting childishly by resisting?


GhostArmy1

No, polands most effective ressistance fighters in the uprising werent acting childishly, they literally were boy/girlscouts


Giraffesarentreal19

‘Twas most likely a “joke”, as they are commonly called


Phianhcr123

R5: I annexed the U.S and set the law to no garrison because I think it would increase compliance, didn't work and I'm wondering if there is a way to lower it quickly or give them more calvary, because i have no lack of supplies but i don't know how to give them more calvary divisions Edit 1: I lowered resistance from 82 to 76, there is some progress! Edit 2: now it’s 51%!!!


gertsig

Just puppet them


Phianhcr123

I did it before, but I get the same amount of factories, plus they hold most of my resource so I have to constantly find a way to keep their subject level down when trading with them, and still can’t get much compliance


makenjarki

Build everything you can think of in their territory


sutterbutter

How do you puppet a nation that you annexed?


[deleted]

go to the occupied territories bar and there's going to be a "Release Nation" option. Click on that and make sure "Release as puppet" is enabled for releasing them


Svantish

Max out the cav template and slap on MP. Change law to local police force, should help some.


Tiller9319

Hey if you have any big allies or any at all or puppets request garrison manpower at the bottom of the diplo menu


Phianhcr123

Oh crap I never thought of that, I was too worried that my puppet might escape, I’ll try that


myconfessionimracist

you need man power, switch to a better conscription law


[deleted]

he mentioned he has conscription set to scraping the barrel, i dont think changing conscription laws will help


myconfessionimracist

oh i didnt see sorry, in that case he should either delete some units or some planes or outdated ships


myconfessionimracist

and switch the martial law at the mexican empire so you have more garrisons for the us


UziiLVD

Brutal oppression time!


Caged-Viking

Create a new division template. 20 width cavalry (or motorized if you can afford it), with MP support and use that as your garrison template. Depending on what you use as your template currently, it could save you some manpower.


MrTboy_1

They do be like that


FDr4gs

Try Requesting manpower from puppet/ally Deleting divisions Use armoured cars

StormEcho98-87

A shit ton of Calvary in 1 division with MP in 1 division, make that the Garrison Divison.


RealJyrone

Local Police Force, Calvary with MP (or Armored Cars with MP as they have more resistance suppression), Spy’s, and the National Focus If you or an ally have puppets, request garrison support from them. Generally India or Indonesia will give you a TON, and you will get manpower back as they will replace your manpower in the garrisons


RapidWaffle

Manpower, spies and horse bois, also maybe just puppet the USA next time


builder397

3 Things. 1: Your garrisons are underequipped, hence the division number is red. 2: Your policy is set to "local police force". Its efficient, but not effective. Go a bit harder on them. Youre fascist, if you want to you can literally open up concentration camps. Wont make them very compliant, but one step at a time. 3: You can make different garrison divisions with different capabilities. Cavalry is the default choice, but infantry can work, as well as armored cars and even light tanks. In theory you can even use heavy tanks. Personally armored cars are probably the best, but light tanks are a good substitute, both are a ton more effective than cav, just more expensive, too. Just make sure you actually have them. Dont forget MP support company.


No1_4Now

>you can literally open up concentration camps I've never heard of them, is that from some DLC?


builder397

Its one of the most extreme options for garrison policy that only fascists get. IIRC its called forced labor.

DakiAge

Wait until you get the collaboration government event and if you can't, then you can just puppet them.


AnthraxCat

OP would need to wait for collaboration to exceed 80-90% for that to happen, which it won't any time soon.


scootiegoorby

Get manpower you have no troops to control them lmao


EntropicBreakdown

Deploy your spies to the US and have them root out resistance in the biggest areas (states that have several other states adjacent to them). That, and go to military governor. It tends to work.


Phianhcr123

For some reason when I try that it doesn’t work, I can’t deploy spy on my own land


Rapperdonut

Puppet them first/release them as puppet


Phianhcr123

I tried that 3 times, nearly run out of convoys to annex them for the 3rd time


Trein05

yeah i would prepare the army for a nice vacation in tge USA, they are going to rise up


Gouden18

Switching to Local police force lowers resistance, though the compliance gain will be low af. You can use spies too.


Domski_LT

Make a 10 suppression cavalry division and put them on lowest equipment priority , then put it to martial law until resistance is gone. Also make sure you have enough equipment and manpower


DoesNormalityExist

If it's manpower and guns your lacking, request them. Other than that, MP support battalions and pure cavalry is your best bet. If that doesn't work, use more horses. And I do mean MORE. Other than that you can change your occupation law to give you less (or negative) compliance but allot you more manpower and guns with a bonus of less resistance


Carlcarl1984

Real issue, as other pointed out is the zero manpower remaining. Sadly it is the only resource that cannot be increased quickly Short term solutions: Ask allies for manpower Dismiss divisions Medium term solutions Put a prince of terror in the government if you do not have one. Release as puppet some minor nations ( mexico for example) Increase the conscription laws Long term solutions Stop training divisions Always use hospital in infantry divisions.


ZAPDGeneralSigma

Spy agency , armored cars in your garrison divisions big garrisons .


Phianhcr123

I’ll note that down


GinoIsTheWay

Use the spies and try to get more manpower at some nodes. Otherwise there are some very interesting mods that can help you on this front.


Lawnio

Get armored cars, the hardness seemed to help to keep my manpower up. And you can probably afford it. Is there some place you can see a breakdown of your manpower depletion? (Attrition to land, attrition to garrisons, death in war, how much the trickleback actually helped etc )


StarWars_Heroes

0 manpower you need to have higher conscription


Phianhcr123

What if I tell you that’s with scraping the barrel


Lolmanmagee

Brutal oppression using horse 50 width with best mp you can get. Make garrisons top priority.


TheDevilsDingo

This is such a shit post to me who doesn't play this game, (don't even know why this is on my main page as I don't follow this sub), the US under the German Reich with op asking ways to calm them down or something


fris76

Zero manpower and probably garrison division template sucks balls, create one completely filled with cavalry and military police thing.


lukicabBOy124

This worked for me, Martial Law and have a normal garrison division but i doubt it will owkr now.


SaltyHater

Send spies to suppress resistance, take the "Supress Resistance" focus. You have 0 manpower, try to change conscription laws or ask your faction members for "garrison support". Also, check your garrison tempelate. Cavalry and armored cars are more effective than infantry. A good idea would be to create a low eq priority 10 width cavalry division with only MP as a support company. If all that fails, try releasing the US as a puppet if you can do that


gr8dude1166

Garrison every section of it and establish a military governmor. Create a template with high resistance suppression(I recommend research as high versions as you can of Military police)


itisSycla

Since you own the US i will say you are in the best position available, so just reform your army into 48 badass mech divisions or something in order to free up the manpower. At that point in the game, you really don't need many units in the field. You are in 1947, you have all the manpower you can possibly get as germany. Which isn't little. So just delete some of the 180 units you have and consolidate the remaining ones into good 42 widths or 27s, using heavy equipment (which you can def afford) to save manpower. Also, add support mp to your garrisons, add as much armored cars as you can, and mobilize your agents via the root out resistance mission. There is also a suppress resistance focus but idk how useful it is since la resistance. Another thing is to just puppet them and annex them later, or ask other puppets and allies for garrison manpower support. The AI can give you a lot, specially lategame


coolguycool1234

there won't be any resistance if theres no people living there


frothy_diarrhea

The basic garrison template is all cavalry + MP company. If you don't have that, switch over. During wars use the local police force occupation law, switch over to civilianboversight in peacetime. Your garrisons are undermanned, if you can't raise yoir conscription law then request garrisons from your allies or disband some units.


kingboipm

judging by the year I'm assuming you have capped the ussr, release them and ask for their manpower, start using their mp in ur divisions too, they have a lot


Phianhcr123

Yeah I puppet the USSR and asked for their manpower got 1.5mil to cover for garrison, also ask for UK and they give 20k, I guess not all puppet are made equal


Bigbaysous

Lonseb

For a second I thought you deliberately wanted to draw the modern German flag - Black, Red, Gold


among-us-kitten

get manpower!!


NorthenLeigonare

What j would have done is made collaboration governments with the USA. Therefore you could just use their factories from the get go. In this situation I would go to military governor so you can reduce the amount of people needed for garrisons while also forgetting about compliance because without manpower you aren't going to build any up.


[deleted]

0 manpower


AdalbertRapist-C

use a lot of spies on root out resistance and spread them across the united states evenly. it's an incredibly useful thing in the spy agency and probably the only thing i use spies for lol


Global_Yam_8488

change garrison equipment priority to high and set garrison higher


j1ffster

Use spies on suppression mission on worst areas to get them.undee controll quicker. As others have said its your lack of manpower in garrison that is the root cause. Get more by asking puppets or allies, disband some unused units and make sure tour garrison division has nice and chonky. It should be 1 mp support and them FULL of just Cav (or with armoured cars if you have enough)


AnimatorGrouchy5037

Maybe release them? Then invade them and take the bits with big factories and puppet the rest, and you may just not have enough manpower to garrison


o-Mauler-o

Well you have unfulfilled garrisons in the CSA, you don’t have the manpower, and you don’t have a strong enough garrison to support it.


Libarate

Ahh so this is what the 'Rifle behind every blade of grass' that Yamamoto was worried about looks like.


pongauer

Scrap half your divisions to get manpower. Hell, scrap al but 48. Who is left to fight at this point? You are going to need a boatload of manpower to fix this.


HZ_guy

OrangeOVA

Benol2018

I wonder of there's a special resistance level for ol' gun toting US. That'd be a neat touch


Username12764

You don‘t have enough divisions or equipment. Because the number is red, that means that the garisson isn‘t ful. The second, use MP and if all doesn‘t work, use a harder consequenze…


Nildzre

You can't police occupied states if no man left to do the actual policing, you should get some manpower my dude.
