When playing as Germany in Hearts of Iron IV, I recommend not choosing a national focus until you have 192 political power. At that point you justify war on the Netherlands and Poland. Netherlands has the Dutch East Indies (Indonesia) as a puppet, so if you take over the Netherlands prior to them joining the allies, you can puppet Indonesia as your own and then you won't have any concerns about getting rubber, especially if you annex them!

Alternatively you can go after Czechoslovakia instead of the Netherlands since Czechoslovakia's independence is guaranteed by Romania, which would allow you to secure Romanian oil for your use.

Regardless, once you have completed this, you then want to complete the Anschluss of Austria which will give you a common border with Italy. Declare war on Italy. Since they are fascist, they can't join the allies. Puppet them and then lend lease and build until you annex them. Now you have their navy and are prepared to take on France/UK and it should still be before 1939.
