Developer Diary | Ethiopia #2

AveeBee, Private

Hey, AveeBee here. This is my first time writing a development diary for you all, having only joined the Hearts of Iron team earlier this year. However, I'd just like to say that it's a great honor to get to do this having been a fan of the series for literally decades at this point, (yeah, look it up, Hearts of Iron I came out in 2002, crazy right?) I'm really excited to be contributing to this awesome game. With that out of the way, let's once again dive into Ethiopia!

嘿，这里是AveeBee。我今年早些时候刚加入钢铁雄心开发组，这是第一次为大家写开发日志。不过我想说，作为这有着数十年之久历史的系列作品的老粉（没错可查，钢铁雄心I代在2002年就出了，绝了是吧？），能为这个不起的游戏作出贡献真我兴奋不已。说完这些，让我们再一次跳进埃塞俄比亚的内容吧！

As explained in the last Ethiopian dev diary, Ethiopia starts in a dire situation with the Italian invasion of the country well under way and any hope of winning the war rapidly diminishing. Haile Selassie historically left the country to rally support through the League of Nations for stopping Italy's illegal invasion. But Haile Selassie wasn’t the only one in Ethiopia with ideas on how to end the war…

如同上一篇埃塞俄比亚开发日志所述，埃塞俄比亚开局就已经因意大利入侵而立于危急存亡之中，而胜利的希望也在逐渐消逝。历史上的海尔·塞拉西离开了祖国，以图透过国际联盟遏止意大利的非法入侵。然而海尔·塞拉西并不是唯一一个对如何终结战争有想法的人……

Let's wind back the clock to early 1936, before Selassie leaves the nation for Geneva. In such desperate times, there are rumblings of discontent with the emperor's handling of the conflict. Among the regional aristocrats, there is talk of reaching out to the Italians and switching sides in the hopes of maintaining hereditary titles. Meanwhile, the troops grow ever more disgruntled with officers leading them into defeat after defeat, knowing well that they were only given their ranks by birth right. Behind enemy lines, the fierce anti-fascist Black Lions begin to wonder if their successes and sacrifices are having any impact on the war as the Italians continue to push deeper and deeper into the heart of Ethiopia.

让我们回到1936年初，塞拉西离开祖国前往日内瓦之前。在这个绝望的时刻，对皇帝如何处理战事的不满声此起彼伏。在地方贵族之间，有人提出要与意大利人接触并转变阵营，以此保住自己的世袭头衔。与此同时，各部队也对军官们越发不满，这些靠出身获得军衔的贵人们屡次带着士兵打败仗。而在敌后，随着意军逐渐侵入埃塞俄比亚的心脏地带，勇猛的反法西斯组织黑狮组织Black Lions也开始怀疑自己的成功和牺牲对战事究竟有没有作用。

With so many disgruntled factions, the slightest nudge can drastically alter the structure of the empire.

有着这么多不满的派系，最轻微的波动都足以大幅改变帝国的权力架构。

Facist Path

法西斯路线

Let's start by looking at the fascist sympathizing aristocrats. Starting at the top of their focus branch, we have Reach out to the Italians. This focus puts the feelers out to see whether the Italians would be willing to support a coup against Selassie in exchange for letting them maintain some level of control once the dust finally settles. This focus also determines who will be the leader of the revolt against Selassie. As can be seen from the icon, there is a choice of three potential leaders, Haile Selassie Gugsa, Hailu Tekle Haymanot of Gojjam and Abba Jofir of Jimma. Each leader has different strengths and weaknesses and will move the power center of the country to their respective regions, should they succeed in overthrowing the emperor. Unfortunately the portraits for these guys aren't complete, yet so I can't show them off today.

我们先从同情法西斯的贵族们看起吧：他们路线始自“接触意大利人”。这个国策让同情者们与意大利人接触，看看他们是否愿意支持针对塞拉西的政变，借此保证战事尘埃落定后贵族们能维持一定程度的控制。这个国策同时会决定谁将成为反抗塞拉西的叛军领袖。如同图标所示，将会有三位可选领袖：海尔·塞拉西·古格萨Haile Selassie Gugsa（译注：埃塞俄比亚军队指挥官及所罗门王朝成员，曾在第二次意埃战争期间背叛海尔·塞拉西并在意大利占领期间成为法西斯合作者），戈贾姆的海卢·泰克·海曼诺Hailu Tekle Haymanot of Gojjam（译注：埃塞俄比亚军队指挥官和贵族，经常与中央政府发生冲突的省级统治者）和吉马的阿巴·乔菲尔Abba Jofir of Jimma（注：埃塞俄比亚地方王国的统治者，在意大利占领期间曾与法西斯合作）。每一位领袖都会有不同的强项和弱点，假如他们成功推翻皇帝的话，也会把权力中心移到各自的地区当中。很不幸这几位的肖像都还未完成，所以今天没法展示。

Should the Italians rebuff your attempts to reach out to them, the focus tree will unlock the first section of the historical/imperial branch and the fascist sympathizing aristocrats will have to swallow their ambitions and do as the focus says, Rally around the Emperor. The decision to lock the player in this path in such a scenario is due to the importance of time for Ethiopia as it is immediately at war with Italy. Italy's decision to accept the proposal will be weighted on how close they are to defeating Ethiopia and the war escalation levels mentioned in the last Ethiopia dev diary. For instance, if the war is dragging on for Italy, the odds of them accepting the deal will increase. Meanwhile, if Ethiopia is close to capitulating, Italy will be less likely to accept the deal.

要是意大利人断然拒绝了埃方的接触尝试，国策树将会自动解锁第一部分的史实/帝国路线，而法西斯同情者的贵族们只能憋着着自己的野心，并如国策名一样来“追随皇帝”了。我们决定在这种情况下把玩家锁在这条路线上，是由于对埃塞俄比亚而言时间是至关重要的，毕竟她开局就在与意大利作战。意大利接受这项提议的权重，将由其多大程度上接近击败埃塞俄比亚，以及上一篇埃塞俄比亚开发日志提到战争烈度决定。举个例子，假如意大利正在被战争拖进泥潭之中，那么他们接受协议的几率将会增加。另一方面，假如埃塞俄比亚与投降只有一线之差的话，那意大利就不太可能接受提案。

However, if the Italians are receptive to the idea of Ethiopia tearing itself apart, the next two focuses, Sway the Warlords and Expand the Bodyguard will be available. Swaying the warlords will boost the popularity of fascism in Ethiopia and give access to loyalist generals once the current war is won. Meanwhile expanding the bodyguard will guarantee a number of elite divisions will be loyal to their Italian backed leader when the empire inevitably fractures.

不过，要是意大利人乐于接受埃塞俄比亚自我分裂的想法的话，下两个国策“拉拢军阀”和“扩编护卫队”将会可用。拉拢军阀将会提升埃塞俄比亚的法西斯主义支持度，并会在当前战争胜利后获得一些忠诚派将领。而扩编护卫队将会保证数个精英师部队在帝国不可避免地分崩离析时对意大利所支持的领袖效忠。

Once the fascists have built their support network up, it's time for them to Declare for Italy. Once this focus is taken, the fascist supporters will break away from Ethiopia to become an Italian puppet. Who that puppet is will depend on which leader was chosen to reach out to the Italians. With the backing of the Italians, it won't take long to defeat the diminished forces still loyal to Haile Selassie and finally bring 'peace' to the region.

一旦法西斯主义者建立起了自己的支持网，那么就到了他们“公开支持意大利”的时侯了。在选取这个国策时，法西斯支持者将会脱离埃塞俄比亚并成为意大利的傀儡。而谁将成为傀儡会取决于哪一位领袖被派去接触意大利人。在意大利人的支持之下，你不用花太多时间就可以打败仍对海尔·塞拉西效忠的残余部队，并且最终把“和平”带到当地。

Once the civil war is over, what was once Ethiopia will be in tatters and under the yoke of Italian rule, as can be seen by the 'Victor Emanuel I' national spirit and the loss of some territory. But while it might otherwise have been annexed completely into Italy, the former empire retains a semblance of independence under the watchful eye of its new fascist leader. The initial objective after the war is of course rebuilding the damaged infrastructure and generally strengthening the reorganized rump state. There are of course the general economic and military branches explored in the last DD available at this point, however there are also bonuses for rebuilding that are unique to the fascist path too.

内战结束后，曾经的埃塞俄比亚已然支离破碎，并陷入意大利统治的桎梏之下，从“维克多·埃马努埃莱一世”民族精神和国土沦丧都能体现出这一点。虽然在其它方面都已经被意大利吞并，但在新即位的法西斯领袖的注视之下，这个前帝国唯独仍保持着表面上的独立。战后的首要目标，理所当然的是重建毁坏的基础设施以及全面增强重组后的残余国家。在这一点上当然也包括前一个开发日志中披露的经济和军事分支国策树，而且法西斯路线还有一些独有的重建加成。

After completing Rebuilding the Country, we have a few options to take. Each of them begins the transition of moving Ethiopia away from a traditional empire and more towards a nation united under a leader with absolute authority. Replace the Abuna allows the removal of Qerellos IV from leadership of the Ethiopian Coptic church and the ability to replace him with someone more… loyal to the new order.

完成“重建国家”国策之后，我们有数个国策可选，每个国策都将开启一段将埃塞俄比亚从传统帝国转型为由一位绝对权威领袖领导的团结国家的路程。“取代阿布纳”将允许你把切雷洛斯四世赶下埃塞科普特正教会领袖的位置，并让某位更……忠于新秩序的人取而代之。

The Victory Parade gives the people of the capital a chance to thank their supposed savior for preventing the destruction of the nation. This also has the added effect of boosting the country leader's stats, depending on who was chosen of course.

“胜利阅兵”会让首都的人民有机会感恩所谓使国家免于毁灭的救主。该国策同样能提高国家领袖的能力，当然这取决于谁被推举为领袖。

To the left we have Invite Italian Settlers which does exactly what it suggests. This adds the Italian Settlers national spirit to Ethiopia which gives massive boosts to construction and population growth. It also converts two pastoral states into rural states, as new Italian settlements in the countryside begin to take shape. However, this all comes at the cost of reducing Ethiopia's effectiveness at fighting the Italians due to their people and culture becoming intermingled with its own.

左边是“邀请意大利定居者”，正如其名。它将为埃塞俄比亚添加“意大利定居者”的民族精神，给建设和人口增长带来巨大的增益。它还能把两个牧业地区转化为乡村地区，这是因为意大利新移民在乡间的定居点开始成型。然而，这一切都有代价，由于意大利的人民和文化与埃塞俄比亚的人民和文化混杂在一起，埃塞俄比亚与意大利作战的效率会降低。

This is also the point at which choices must be made over the future of Ethiopia. Will it be a loyal and indispensable subject of Italy? Or will it make schemes in the shadows for the eventual restoration of independence? It might seem like an easy choice, after all, who wants to be a puppet right? However, as mentioned above with Invite Italian Settlers there are advantages to getting cozy with the Italians.

这也是对埃塞俄比亚的未来不得不做出选择的时刻。它是否会成为意大利忠诚而不可或缺的附庸？还是在暗中为最终恢复独立制定计划？答案看起来显而易见，毕竟谁愿意做一个傀儡呢？然而，正如上面“邀请意大利定居者”的描述中提到的，与意大利人亲近有很多好处。

Lets see what those advantages are by exploring the collaborationist path first. In order to gain the Italians' trust, Ethiopia's leader will have to secure support from the regional governor of East-Africa, Prince Amedeo. And what better occasion to do so than the feast of Maskal! Trivia time, this meeting actually happened during Italy's occupation of Ethiopia as the Italians attempted to secure control of the region by courting the remaining Ras' (Ethiopian aristocracy). The Feast of Maskal is a celebration performed by followers of the Ethiopian Orthodox Christian church celebrating the discovery of 'the True Cross' in the 4th century by Queen Eleni.

让我们先来看看合作路线有哪些优势。为了获得意大利人的信任，埃塞俄比亚的领袖必须获得东非地区总督阿梅迪奥王子的支持。那还能有什么比真十字节The Feast of Maskal更好的场合呢！闲话时间，这次会面是在意大利占领埃塞俄比亚期间真实发生过的，意大利人试图通过讨好剩余的王子Ras（埃塞俄比亚贵族）来确保对该地区的控制。真十字节是埃塞俄比亚正教会的信徒举行的庆祝活动，庆祝埃莱尼女王在四世纪发现“真十字架”。

Back to our alternate timeline, as mentioned earlier on, when taking the Sway the Warlords focus a number of military officers will pledge themselves to the new fascist order. Now when taking the Feast of Maskal focus, these officers will become available again. On top of that, the Victor Emanuel I national spirit will also gain some boosts to make him less negative to Ethiopia.

回到我们的架空时间线，如前文所述：在选取“拉拢军阀”国策后，一众军官会效忠新法西斯政权。此后选择“阿梅迪奥的真十字节”时会让这些军官重新加入军队。此外，维克多·埃马努埃莱一世的民族精神也会获得一些加成，让他对埃塞俄比亚的负面效果不那么糟。

Following this, we have a number of focuses to take advantage of Italy's military experience and sweet, sweet industry for the benefit of Ethiopia. On the economic side, the nation can gain extra civilian industry by Inviting Italian Investors and Adopting the Lira. On the military side, Ethiopia can recruit Italian General Staff to act as advisors or gain some infantry equipment and artillery via the Request Italian Equipment focus. At the neck of this branch, Ethiopia can utilize an array of Italian design companies via the Outsourced Production focus.

接下来我们有一些国策，可以借助意大利的军事经验及其甜美的工业产能，为埃塞俄比亚谋利。在经济方面，国家可以通过“邀请意大利投资者”和“采用里拉”来获得额外的民用工厂。在军事方面，埃塞俄比亚可以招募“意大利参谋团”作为顾问，或者通过“索要意式装备”国策来获得一些步兵装备和火炮。在这个路线的中段，埃塞俄比亚可以通过“外包生产”聘请一批意大利设计公司。

This leads to the last section of the collaborationist sub-path. After integrating Ethiopia into the Italian economic system, opening the nation up to their settlers and reforming the military to fight alongside them, we begin to see the rewards of loyalty. By officially adopting The Italian Language, the Victor Emanuel I national spirit gets a potent upgrade, offering a boost to political and command power gain. On the other side, the Compensation focus gives the ability to request control over Italian territory in East-Africa.

这就走向合作子路线的最后一部分国策。将埃塞俄比亚整合进入意大利的经济系统，向意大利放开国门以便他们的移居者来到埃塞俄比亚，并且改革军队以同意大利并肩作战之后，我们看到了忠诚的回报。在正式接受“意大利语言”之后，民族精神“维克多·埃马努埃莱一世”将会得到提升。这将会加快政治点数和指挥点数的获得。另一方面，国策“补偿金”将可以让玩家要求获得意属东非领土的控制权。

But at the very end, the big finale for towing the Italian line is the recognition of Ethiopia as a loyal partner to Italy rather than a simple colony. This culminates in the formation of the Italo-Ethiopian Empire in East-Africa and the unification of what was once two separate crowns. And as a goal for the reformed empire, it also gains the Arranged Expansion idea which will transfer control of conquered lands in the region to Ethiopia.

但在最后，这条倒向意大利的国策对于埃塞俄比亚之于意大利来说，更像是一个忠诚的合作伙伴而非一块简单的殖民地。这包括“意大利-埃塞俄比亚帝国”的成立，并统一了两个曾经分裂的王国。作为一个重整的帝国的目标，其也会获得“有序扩张”的效果，以将占领地控制权转交给埃塞俄比亚。

So, we've explored what loyalty gets you, now let's see what betrayal gets you! If we go back to the Feast of Maskal focus, you might have noticed it is mutually exclusive with the Negus of Shewa focus. This focus sets Ethiopia on a collision course with Italy by rejecting their influence and rekindling pride in the nation once again. This will cause the Victor Emanuel I national spirit to become detrimental to Ethiopia's stability as the people reject the new sovereign. Reinforce Ethiopian Identity builds on this further by increasing support for going to war as the people rekindle their fighting spirit.

那么，讲完了忠诚带来的奖励后，现在我们说说背叛的后果！我们回到“真十字节”这个国策，你或许会注意到这个国策和“绍阿领主”互斥。这个国策会拒绝意大利的影响，从而将埃塞俄比亚置于和意大利的冲突之中，并再次激起埃塞俄比亚的民族自豪感。这将导致维克多·埃马努埃莱一世转变成对于埃塞俄比亚稳定度有害的民族精神，只因为民众现在拒绝一个新的君主。“强化埃塞俄比亚身份认同”将激化这个情况，让民众重燃战意从而提升了战争支持度。

If the new regime intends to fight the Italians, then they must prepare the military. Luckily, taking the Underground Wargames focus will give the troops a substantial advantage when engaging the Italian military. While the collaborationist branch is focused on integrating into the Italian economy, this branch is more about being the absolute worst subject possible. Options for doing this include Set up a Customs Barrier which allows Ethiopia to make trade with Italy as difficult as humanly possible while still avoiding the Regia Marina resorting to gunboat diplomacy. This protectionist measure will give Ethiopia an economic boost, while reducing Italy's colonial gains from its unruly puppet. If that isn't good enough of an insult to the Italians, there's also the option to Contact the Exiles who fled Ethiopia and have them return with foreign weapons for the troops.

如果新生政权倾向与意大利斗争，就必须要让军队做好准备。幸运的是，“秘密军事推演”国策将会在军队和意大利交战时为部队提供有效的优势。合作派的路线更注重于将自己整合进意大利经济圈，而这条路线更着重于让敌人明白：选我们当附庸绝对是最差的选择。达成目的的可选项包括“设置关税壁垒”，允许埃塞俄比亚让各国对意贸易变得难上加难，同时避免刺激皇家海军选择舰炮外交。这一保护主义措施在增长经济的同时，还会降低意大利从不守规矩的傀儡国获得的殖民收益。如果这还不算够羞辱意大利，我们还可以选择“联系流亡者”，让他们带着外国武器回到祖国。

Due to the lack of economic support by following this sub-branch, Ethiopia is going to be much more reliant on foreign aid if it is to succeed in driving Italy out of the country. Luckily, there's usually not a shortage of nations who would like to see Mussolini knocked down a notch or twelve. This can be utilized by Our Enemies Enemy, which allows the other great powers to send military equipment to Ethiopia.

因为在这个子路线之后缺少经济支持，埃塞俄比亚驱逐意大利远离自身国土的事业将更加依靠于外国援助。幸运的是，这世上永远不缺想看见墨索里尼走向灭亡的国家。通过“敌人的敌人”国策，将允许其他强国向埃塞俄比亚输送装备。

Another fun way to make the Italians hate you is to raid their depots for equipment and destroy what you can't carry. Sounds fun right? Luckily we have a focus that lets you do exactly that! Raid Italian Depots will trigger a number of raids over the following months which increase Ethiopia’s stockpile of weapons while increasing Italy's supply consumption.

另一种提高意大利人厌恶度的好办法就是袭击的他们的装备仓库，并摧毁所有带不走的东西。听起来很有趣对不？幸运的是，我们恰好有这么个国策。“劫掠意大利军火库”会在未来几个月内触发一系列袭击，增加埃塞俄比亚的武器装备库存，同时加剧意大利的补给消耗。

But, what's a revolt without friends, am I right? Together for Victory allows Ethiopia to reach out to the various resistance groups in East-Africa who are opposed to Italian rule. If conflict breaks out between Ethiopia and Italy, these resistance fighters will take up arms behind enemy lines and join the conflict alongside Ethiopia.

但是，没有盟友的反抗又算啥，是吧？“共赴胜利”国策允许埃塞俄比亚接触在东非的各式抵抗组织。当冲突爆发时，抵抗组织的战士们将会在敌后拿起武器并加入战斗，与埃塞俄比亚并肩作战。

Once Italian rule in Ethiopia has been sufficiently weakened and the underground army is ready to leap into action, it is time to declare independence and prepare for the backlash. Negusa Nagast is the focus that allows Ethiopia to do exactly that, but it shouldn't be taken lightly. If Italy is stubborn enough, they may come down hard on this rebellion, but hopefully preparations made earlier will tip the balance in Ethiopia's favor.

在充分削弱了意大利的统治以及秘密军队做好准备以后，就是宣布独立和准备反攻的时候了。“万王之王”国策赋予了埃塞俄比亚机会，但绝不能轻敌。如果意大利人够顽固，他们会强硬地对待这场叛乱。不过，希望早先的充足准备能让战争的天平倾向埃塞俄比亚这一边。

Even if the Italians are too busy dealing with conflicts elsewhere, they may still be in control of land that is rightfully Ethiopian, which leads me to the next focus. Reclaim the Empire allows Ethiopia to regain cores on territory earlier ceded to Italy, once they are back under Ethiopian control. So, the new emperor has made it this far, apparently saving the empire on multiple occasions through various levels of back stabbing and insurrection. But what now? What is there to do for a newly crowned, backstabbing, insurrectionist of an emperor once he has gained his throne? Probably subjugate everything in the vicinity right? Great, because the final focus of this sub-branch, Consolidate East-Africa, gives Ethiopia claims on territory across the region and the ability to core them once conquered.

哪怕意大利人正为其它地方的冲突忙得焦头烂额，他们可能仍控制着属于埃塞俄比亚的土地。这也带着我们走向了下一个国策“重夺帝国”，让埃塞俄比亚能重新获得割让领地的核心。那么，新皇帝已经走到这里了，通过各种层次的背刺和叛乱多少算拯救了帝国。现在该怎么办呢？这么个新加冕的、靠暗箭伤人和与叛乱份子无异的皇帝登上皇位了要做什么呢？可能就是征服眼前的一切吧：这条路线的最后一个国策即“巩固东非”，给予埃塞俄比亚对整个区域的宣称，并在占领以后获得核心。

The collaborationist and independent fascist paths will hopefully offer a lot of replay-ability as the various choices throughout the two sub-paths make for various different narratives. Since the last dev diary, we've had a lot more great artwork added into the game for focus trees and events. Here's an overview of the fascist branch at the moment, but remember that this is still a work in progress and may be subject to change.

我们希望合作和独立的法西斯主义路线能促使玩家多次游玩，因为贯穿这两个子路线的大量选择可以硬造很多不同的故事。自从上一篇开发日志以来，我们为国策树和事件创作了很多新的插图。这是目前对法西斯路线的一个概览，但还请记得这仍是制作中的版本，因此有些内容仍可能会发生改变。

Now, you might be thinking, 'I'm fed up with this aristocratic stuff, this ain't CK III!' Well, fascism isn't the only alternate history path for Ethiopia. Let's wind back the clock again to 1936. As mentioned earlier, there are rumblings from the front and in the streets, it's not only the aristocracy that are growing frustrated with Haile Selassie's leadership. The people and the troops are questioning the centuries old aristocracy and turning to the likes of the Soviet Union for inspiration.

现在你可能在想：“这贵族玩意儿我受够了，又不是在玩CK3！”呃，但法西斯并非埃塞俄比亚唯一的架空历史路线。让我们把时间调回1936年。如前文所述，前线和街上都有暗流涌动，不仅是贵族对海尔塞拉西的领导越发不满，群众与军队同样在质疑数百年以来的贵族制度，并转而向苏联这样的国家寻求启示。

Communist Paths

共产主义路线

This branch starts off with the focus Military Communism which will rally the troops on the front line and get them thinking about alternative systems of government. This starting point for the communist path was influenced by the types of movements that sprung up in Africa during the Cold War which often centered around the military acting as a vanguard party to overthrow the old order. In this timeline, we're seeing that a little earlier due to the bleak position Ethiopia is in during 1936 and the memory of Russia's 1917 October revolution still being fresh in the minds of people during the time period.

这条分支从“军事共产主义”这个国策开始，它会召集起前线的军队并引导他们思考另一种政府体制。共产主义路线的起点受冷战期间非洲兴起的各类运动影响，通常着重于以军队作为先锋队推翻旧秩序。由于埃塞俄比亚在1936年所处的惨淡环境，而且人们对俄罗斯1917年的十月革命仍然记忆犹新，我们会目睹此类运动在本时间线中更早兴起。

Now, the military isn't the only place where communist influence is spreading during this time period. The Black Lions were an anti-fascist resistance movement in Ethiopia during the Italo-Ethiopian War and some members struggled on even after the country surrendered. While historically the Black Lions were mainly focused on anti-fascism and independence for Ethiopia, a number of members of the Black Lions were supposedly communist leaning. So alongside the spreading of communist thought among the military we also wanted to explore the what if scenario of the Black Lions, with all their skills and organization as resistance fighters, becoming increasingly disillusioned with the imperial system too.

这一时期的共产主义影响并非仅在军队中传播。黑狮组织Black Lions是意埃战争时期的一个反法西斯抵抗运动组织，有些成员甚至在该国投降后仍然继续斗争。尽管历史上黑狮组织主要是关注于反法西斯和埃塞俄比亚的解放，后世认为其内部一众成员都有共产主义倾向。因此随着军队中的共产主义思想传播，我们还设想了有着抵抗战士的技巧与组织的黑狮组织，对帝国体制越来越失望的情景。

Following on from this, we have Defending our Homes which grants defensive bonuses on core territory as the troops become desperate to prevent the destruction of their homeland. We also have Anti-Imperialist Agitation which adds a wave of communist support as more and more people turn their backs on the failing imperial system. In order to progress beyond this point of the branch, Ethiopia needs at least 20% support for the communists. As mentioned earlier, Military Communism is based around the military forcing a communist revolution rather than the types of mass movements that have started them in other countries. But while 20% support may seem low, it's worth remembering that the Italians will be steadily chipping away at your territory, so even getting to this threshold can be a real race against time.

接下来，我们有“保卫家园”国策，由于部队越发坚决地尝试阻止家园被破坏，因此获得在核心领土上的防御增益。随着越来越多的人开始反对正在失败的帝国制度，我们还有“反帝国主义情绪”国策，将增加共产主义的支持度。如果要在这条路线中继续推进，埃塞俄比亚需要至少20%的共产主义支持度。如前所述，“军事共产主义”国策是基于军队以武力发动共产主义革命，而非其他国家发起的那种大众运动。不过虽然20%支持度看起来很低，但要记住意大利人正在逐步蚕食你的领土，所以光是到达这一阈值也是一场与时间的赛跑。

Once there is enough support for the communists, the next focus in the branch In the Name of the People will become available. This focus, as you might expect, triggers a coup against the government of Haile Selassie. The Black Lions and members of the military will arrest the emperor and form a provisional government. At the head of this provisional government is Alemework Beyene, the chairman of the Black Lions. From the offset of this provisional government, relations will be strained between the military communists and the Black Lions. The Black Lions' constitution places the political sphere above the military and enshrines the rights of peasants, while those in the military believe they alone can govern Ethiopia in this time of crisis. This instability will be a key issue going forward.

一旦共产主义拥有了足够的支持度，就可以选取该路线的下一个国策：“人民的名义”。这个国策效果不出意外，会引发一场反对海尔塞拉西政府的政变。黑狮组织和军队成员将逮捕皇帝并组成一个临时政府。阿勒姆沃·贝耶尼Alemework Beyene，黑狮组织的主席将成为临时政府的首脑。但随着临时政府的解散，军队中的共产主义者与黑狮组织之间的关系将日渐紧张。黑狮组织的理念是政治高于军队，并且保障农民的权益，而军方认为只有他们能在危机中带领埃塞俄比亚。这种不稳定性将会成为决定未来的关键因素。

Due to the dire situation brought on by the Italian invasion, the two political factions are forced to cooperate. For the time being anyway. During the coup, Black Lion and Red Guards divisions will become available to help maintain a smooth transition of power and to back up the beleaguered troops on the front line. With control of Ethiopia established, the first major decision to make is how to continue the fight against Italy. The Black Lions advocate for A Callout to the World which will set Ethiopia on a course to rally support from anti-fascists across the globe.

由于意大利入侵导致的紧迫局势，这两大政治集团暂时团结在了一起——至少现今如此。在政变期间，黑狮组织Black Lion和赤卫队Red Guards将帮助维持权力的平稳过度，并支援前线的受困部队。当新政权建立以后，首先要做的就是决定如何继续与意大利的作战。黑狮组织提倡“号召全世界”，这条路线中埃塞俄比亚将尝试召集全世界反法西斯主义者的支持。

Meanwhile the military communists believe the only real hope of victory lies in gaining the support of the Soviet Union. Let's start by looking at the Soviet sub-branch which starts with Soviet Aid. This focus gives the Soviets the option to support Ethiopia with volunteers and opens the door to future cooperation. The well equipped Soviet divisions and air force make a massive difference in turning the tide against Italy. Following on from this, there are options to request more Soviet material support in the form of rifles, aircraft and armored vehicles. Or there's the option to invite experienced Soviet generals to lead your armies. Of course the downside to this decision is that your own officers are not gaining experience, but sometimes desperate times call for desperate measures. As the country becomes increasingly influenced by the Soviets, Alemework Beyene and the provisional government will be ousted to be replaced with the military administration of Ethiopia.

与此同时，军事共产主义者相信只有获得苏联的支持才有可能取得胜利。我们先来看看开始于“苏联援助”的路线。这个国策会提高苏联向埃塞俄比亚派遣志愿军的意向，并为进一步合作打开一扇门。装备精良的苏联陆、空军将用强有力的防御扭转对意作战的颓势。这之后还可以选择请求苏联以步枪、飞机和装甲载具的形式进行更多物质援助。也可以邀请久经沙场的苏联将领来指挥你的军队。当然这样做的缺点就是你自己的军官无法获得经验，但有时在非常时期就得采取非常手段。随着苏联对整个国家的影响日益加深，阿勒姆沃·贝耶尼以及临时政府将被埃塞俄比亚军政府取代。

With the tide of war shifting and the Italian invasion brought to a halt by the combined efforts of Ethiopia and the Soviet Union, it's time to start thinking of a way out of the conflict. This is where the focus Soviet Mediation comes in. This focus will prompt the Soviet Union to demand Italy withdraws to pre-war borders in East-Africa, or suffer the wrath of the Red Army. There's a game of chicken here though, depending on the strength of both nations, Mussolini may call Stalin's bluff and Stalin may back down. Or Mussolini might think Stalin is bluffing and quickly find the Red Army on the march. For Ethiopia, this is somewhat of a win-win scenario however as it is already at war with Italy. So it either gets peace or a strong ally in the ongoing conflict.

随着战争形势的逆转，埃塞俄比亚和苏联联手阻止了意大利侵略者的进一步企图，是时候考虑如何结束冲突了。这时国策“苏联调停”就派上用场了。这一国策将使苏联向意大利提出退回战前东非边界的要求，如果意大利拒绝则将面对红军的怒火。然而这场胆量博弈的胜负还将取决于双方的实力，有可能墨索里尼没有被斯大林吓退而后者选择让步，也有可能墨索里尼自以为斯大林是在虚张声势，却发现苏联红军开上了战场。不过对于埃塞俄比亚来说左右都是赢，毕竟它已经在和意大利交战了。结果要么赢得和平，要么迎来一位强大盟友参战。

All of this support from the Soviet Union of course doesn't come for free. Uncle Joe is going to want you firmly in the Soviet sphere of influence going forward, which means becoming a puppet. At least for now. Similar to the fascist branch, there are benefits to being a puppet but it doesn't necessarily have to be permanent either...

当然，苏联的援助可不是白拿的。约大叔需要你不断加深苏联的影响，换句话说就是成为傀儡国，至少是暂时。与法西斯路线相似，成为傀儡国也有一定的好处，但也不一定永远只能保持傀儡国地位……

With the revolution in Ethiopia finally secure, it is time to start building a glorious workers republic. Luckily, Soviet Engineers are on hand to support reconstruction efforts. Here, we have a few mutually exclusive choices depending on priorities. Taking advantage of being a puppet of course comes at the cost of autonomy but gives access to Soviet design companies and factories via the Mytishchy-Abba Machine Plant and Soviet-Ethiopian Trade Agreement. But there's also the option to push back against Soviet influence by dismissing their advisors and officers from the country as well as pursuing trade agreements with nations beyond the Soviet sphere of influence. While deciding on which course to take there are also focuses to expand Ethiopian influence in the region by 'liberating' the people of the Afar and Djibouti.

随着埃塞俄比亚的革命最终取得胜利，是时候开始建设一个伟大的工人共和国了。幸运的是，“苏联工程师”随时能够帮助我们进行重建。这里有几个互斥的分支，如何选择将取决于你的优先级。在利用傀儡国的身份获利的同时，当然也要付出自主权的代价，通过“梅季希-亚贝巴机械厂”以及“苏埃贸易协定” ，我们将允许苏联设计局和工厂进入埃塞俄比亚。但也可以选择通过解雇苏联顾问和军官以及寻求与不受苏联影响的国家达成贸易协定来削弱苏联的影响。除了需要决定选择哪条道路以外，还有一些国策可以通过“解放”阿法尔和吉布提的人民来扩展埃塞俄比亚的地区影响力。

Loyalty to the Soviet cause will allow Ethiopia to Request Soviet Ships to help make the Red Sea a little more red. But, if the Ethiopian military administration has grown disillusioned with Soviet meddling in their affairs, Our Own Path will allow them to declare independence once again. However, the Soviets may not take too kindly to having their investment in Ethiopia thrown back at them.

保持对苏联的忠诚使得埃塞俄比亚能够通过“请求苏联战列舰船体”来让红海变得更红一点。但如果埃塞俄比亚军政府因苏联插手国内事务而对其大失所望，那么“自己的路”将允许他们再一次宣布独立。然而苏联是不会坐视其在埃塞俄比亚的投资反咬自己一口的。

Either as an independent socialist republic or a Soviet backed one, East-Africa can be dangerous with all those imperialist powers nearby. Freedom at Gunpoint unlocks decisions for waging liberation wars against the neighboring powers to release their colonial territories. Don't worry though, this doesn't mean successfully marching from Addis Ababa to London in order to liberate Sudan. Once Ethiopia gains enough territory in the nation they are attempting to liberate, they will have the option to request a peace deal with the colonial power. With bigger enemies to deal with closer to home, they're likely going to cut their losses.

无论作为独立的社会主义共和国还是苏联的傀儡，东非都不容那些帝国主义列强染指。“枪口下的自由”将解锁决议来发起对临近强国的解放战争以释放其殖民领。不过不用担心，这并不需要你从亚的斯亚贝巴一路打到伦敦来解放苏丹。一旦埃塞俄比亚占领了解放目标足够多的领土，就会得到与殖民帝国和谈的选项。由于欧洲腹地还酝酿着更大的威胁，因此他们通常愿意及时止损。

This system for releasing African nations will come in very useful later on. But first of all, let's take a step back to A Callout to the World. We've seen how the military communists will lead the country if given a chance, taking it in a more Soviet inspired direction, but what about the Black Lions? Due to the decentralized, anti-fascist and anti-authoritarian values of the organization it seems they would take Ethiopia in a much different direction.

这个释放非洲国家的系统在以后会非常有用。但首先，让我们回头看看国策“号召全世界”。我们已经看到了军事共产主义者获得机会后将如何领导，并将国家引向苏联指导下的方向，那黑狮组织呢？考虑到该组织反中央集权、反法西斯和反独裁的价值观，他们似乎会把埃塞俄比亚带向一个更不同的方向。

Taking the Callout to the World focus will unlock a number of advisors from across the world including socialists and anarchists such as Sylvia Pankhurst and Emma Goldman. Japanese Anarcho-Communism builds upon this further by recruiting the anarcho-communist Iwasa Sakutarō and the anarcho-syndicalist Ishikawa Sanshirō. Although be aware, these two supposedly really disliked each other, so you won’t be able to hire both of them at the same time. Following on from this, a choice must be made between International Brigades which creates a steady stream of manpower and war support for Ethiopia, or The Peoples Army which reforms the military by removing the conservative high-command and its associated penalties.

选取国策“号召全世界”，将解锁一批来自世界各地的顾问，包括社会主义者和无政府主义者，比如西尔维娅·潘克赫斯特和艾玛·戈德曼。“日式无政府共产主义”在此基础上进一步发展，招募了无政府-共产主义的岩佐作太郎和无政府-工团主义的石川三四郎。但要注意，这两个人据说水火不容，所以你不可能同时雇佣他们两个人。在这之后，你必须在“国际纵队”和“人民军队”之间做出选择，前者为埃塞俄比亚创造了源源不断的人力和战争支持，后者则通过取消保守的统帅部及其相关惩罚措施来改革军队。

With the support of the anarcho-communists of the world, Ethiopia should finally be starting to halt the Italian advance. However, without the support of the League of Nations or a major power, any peace negotiations are going to be limited to essentially a ceasefire with the Italians. But much as we explored in the fascist branch, so long as part of Ethiopia survives, there is hope of restoring it fully someday.

在全世界的无政府主义者和共产主义者支持下，埃塞俄比亚终于开始阻止意大利人前进的脚步。然而，如果没有国际联盟或者一个大国的支持，任何与意大利人的和平谈判本质上都只是停火协议。但就像我们在法西斯路线中探讨的那样，只要埃塞俄比亚一息尚存，她就有希望在某一天光复自己的全部领土。

With an uneasy peace settling in with the Italians, attention can be turned to reforming what remains of the nation into a more economically prosperous and egalitarian society. The decisions made here will determine how far towards anarchism Ethiopia will go. Will it totally decentralize to become an anarcho-communist federation of loosely knit communities? Or will it remain somewhat centralized with a more traditional government to hold the republic together? These decisions will lead to various different leaders, including an anarchist council.

在与意大利人建立来之不易的和平后，便能将注意力转向改革国家，努力建设一个经济上更加繁荣和平等的社会。这里的决议将决定埃塞俄比亚将在无政府主义的道路上走多远。她是将完全放权，成为一个由松散的社区组成的无政府-共产主义联盟？还是保持某种程度的中央集权，由一个更传统的政府来维持共和国的稳定？这些决议将产生各种不同的领导人，包括一个无政府主义委员会。

With Ethiopia reformed under a new political system, it's time to start thinking about the enemies around East-Africa. In this sub-branch, the people of Ethiopia won't be rolling into the surrounding areas in tanks to forcibly liberate their neighbors. Instead the African Wildfire focus will allow the revolutionary government of Ethiopia to funnel supplies into the neighboring states to increase resistance against their colonial overlords until they eventually break free on their own. You might have noticed that both sub-branches here offer means of freeing the people of Africa from colonial rule. And that's because of the final section of this branch.

埃塞俄比亚已在新的政治体制下完成改革，现在是时候开始考虑东非周围的敌人了。在这个国策路线中，埃塞俄比亚人不会开着坦克闯入周边地区，用武力强行“解放”他们的邻居。而是通过“非洲野火”国策来让埃塞俄比亚革命政府将物资输送到周边国家，以增强他们抵抗殖民统治者的能力，直到这些抵抗者为自己争得自由。你可能已经注意到，这里的两个分支都提供了使非洲人民摆脱殖民统治的方式。这是因为它们是该国策树路线下的最后一节。

The African Union

非洲联盟

Both the anarcho-communist and Soviet sub-branches lead to this focus, The Organization of African Unity. In real life, the organization was established in 1963 with its headquarters in Addis Ababa. The organization strove to become a unifying force in African politics and ultimately became the African Union, a union somewhat similar to the European Union that many might be more familiar with. The roots of this pan-Africanism were already spreading in the 1930s and 1940s however.

无政府-共产主义和苏维埃主义分支都将导向这个国策，即非洲统一组织Organization of African Unity。在现实中，该组织成立于1963年，总部设在亚的斯亚贝巴。该组织致力于实现非洲政治的统一协调，并最终成为非洲联盟，这个联盟有些类似于大部分人更熟悉的欧洲联盟。然而，这种泛非主义的根基在20世纪30-40年代就已经蔓延开来。

Here, we explore those ideas from a more radical perspective. By becoming the founder of the Organization of African Unity, Ethiopia unlocks decisions to invite independent nations in Africa to join it. Each member gets a national spirit to signify their membership.

在这里，我们从一个更激进的角度来探索这些理念。通过成为非洲统一组织的创始国，埃塞俄比亚能解锁决议，以邀请独立非洲国家加入非洲统一组织。每个成员都得到一个相关的民族精神，以标示其成员国身份。

Further down this branch we have focuses for creating pan-African institutions such as an African Central bank which gives economic boosts to members who agree to join the institution. And we have the mutual defense agreement which member states can also join. Unlike a regular alliance where nations feel obligated to join each other's wars, this defensive agreement is only triggered when a member state is attacked, in which case all other members will come to the aid of said nation. Kind of like NATO;s Article 5. Nations can pick and choose which aspects of the organization to participate in, however if the Organization was formed by the more militaristic incarnation of Ethiopia, nations may find themselves being strong armed into cooperation…

在这个路线下，我们有一些创建泛非洲机构的国策，比如“非洲中央银行”，它会为同意加入该机构的成员国带来经济繁荣，我们也有为成员国打造的共同防卫协定。普通的军事同盟中各个盟国均有义务加入彼此的战争，而这种共同防卫协定只有在某个成员国的领土遭受入侵时才会被触发，此时所有其他成员国都会向该国家提供援助，这有点像北大西洋公约中的第五条（集体防御条款）。各国可以选择参与该组织的哪些方面，然而，如果该组织是被走军国主义线的埃塞俄比亚创建的，这些国家可能会发现自己被强行武装起来，以便开展“合作”……

Finally, as the various nations begin to pull together, Ethiopia’s final focus will become available, The African Union. Ethiopia will become the heart of the African Union with a beautiful new flag and the ability to integrate and core the territory of the Organization of African Unities member states. Hopefully it makes sense now why releasing African countries from colonial rule is so important in the run up to this part. While each individual country may be lacking in strength, together they can become a real menace in the Mediterranean and Indian Oceans which leads to really interesting clashes against the Allies and the Axis powers. Depending on the path taken to forming the African Union, the organization can feel very different. When coming at it from the Soviet sub-branch, it will feel a lot more like a 'Soviet Union of Africa' for example.

最后，随着各个国家开始团结起来，点亮埃塞俄比亚的最后一个国策将成为可能，即“非洲联盟”。埃塞俄比亚将成为非盟的心脏，获得一面漂亮的很的新旗帜，并有能力整合和核心化其他非盟成员国的领土。希望你现在明白了，为了达成这一效果，在这之前将这些非洲国家从殖民统治中解放出来是多么重要。虽然每个国家都可能缺乏实力，但她们团结起来后便可以成为地中海-印度洋一带举足轻重的力量，从而带来一系列与同盟国和轴心国之间的相当有趣的冲突。受到组建非洲联盟的路线影响，这一组织的气质可能非常不同。例如，如果它是从苏维埃分支国策建立的，那么它将更像一个“非洲版苏联”。

That's all for this week folks. Remember all of this is still a work in progress and may be subject to change. But hopefully this has got you excited for Ethiopia's revamped focus tree and its potential for fascinating alternate history. And I hope you're excited for the next development diary two weeks from now which will be on the new plane designer. See you then!

这就是本周日志的全部内容啦伙计们。还请记住所有这些游戏内容仍处在开发阶段，可能会有变动。但希望这能让你们对埃塞俄比亚改版后的国策树感兴趣，它有潜力在游戏中带来一段迷人的（魔幻历史）世界线。我也希望你们会对两周后的下一篇开发日志感兴趣，它是关于新的飞机设计器的。到时候不见不散！
