Assuming you want that, you'd need to skip infrastructure or some other combination of investments that adds up to 80% and that will cost you some money in chapter 4 if nothing else, might still be worth it but it comes with a price.

Edit: Actually, if you skip round 1 premium steel and the eustrin supplier, you're going to need to get the orc research first otherwise you wont even have 12 army quality for the BoY, and I have no idea how you get a "perfect yhilin battle" like that, do you come out with a small Victory Point deficit and pick the northern site during trade negotiations? This might still be all worth it just to have the Ivalan bank in chapter 4, but it really isn't as straightforward as it sounds.
