Through massive amounts of testing and constant tweaking, I have discovered a way to create the Kingdom of Franco-Spain on historical mode with all of its Spanish cores by 1938!
This was a very difficult challenge and I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I have!

Thanks to Axel for sharing the air volunteer exploit with me, which greatly helps to boost air xp and to help the civil war to go much better.
To do it, simply send the first in the list of your fighter wings or bomber wings, wait for it to be over halfway to the destination airport, then merge it with all other air wings.
Once done, you will have all of your planes as volunteers!

Thanks to Antasil for running a test and discovering that if Carlist Spain wins the civil war, they can then be attacked, the land annexed rather than puppeted, then Spain can be released from occupied territories and Carlist Spain will have all of its cores rather than having to manually core its lands. The final Legitimist focus can then be done after releasing Carlist Spain as a Puppet, annexing them and gaining all of the cores.
I didn't end up needing to use this particular strategy, but it is important knowledge to keep in mind in case the coring goes wrong for some reason.
