i've jut done a playthrough and it is possible, you just have to leave the succubus trade to just before eustrin so it costs only 50% instead of 100% due to 50+ acceptance, but still get the bonus in border incident. In the end you woldnt have the more expensive merc (100%), the noble corruption (20%) and one of the border (50%, and i pick aram border to ignore. it means a border incident score of 9, but if you then stall diplomatically, and if  you play your cards right, you will leave the front at 35, so hilstara survives wihtout injury, and with aram CD of 21, which gives no penalties, but minimalizes the aram ebassy cost in ch 4). This leaves you with ~191 army size which isnt the max, but still plenty to get best results in the war, to the point that i had military reserves left for even slime hunting.
