New player trying to win german civil war as the military junta, but having trouble getting any result other than immediately being pummeled. I've tried disbanding everything beforehand, putting my tanks into a singular army to spearhead, and trying to delay whilst I train a fuckload of cannon fodder, but every time they just push through the south then the north and screw me.

Is there a trick to this? I genuinely can't think of anything I could do to give myself a more favorable outcome because everything I try to strengthen my position also strengthens the AIs position when I revolt, since we're the same country.

What's the strategy here?
