If you wish to get into one additional war aside from the ones against Manchukuo and Germany, justify a war goal on Siam before the civil war fires - you'll keep on justifying after flipping to democracy, and of the nations you can attack, Siam is the only one that has no difficulties (Nepal, Tibet, and Bhutan don't have anywhere you can attack from, Mongolia is allied with the Soviets, the Raj, Indies, Australia, New Zealand, and Malaya are attached to the Allies, and you can't attack China/any of the warlords) - Purge the Militarists before you justify, since the more time you have to prepare, the better.

The Empire of Japan is by far the strongest nation in East Asia when it comes to military strength and has plenty of options for expanding its sphere of influence. As such, a war of attrition is not an option for Japan as Japan will run out of manpower long before China.
