Hi, I know there has already been a thread on this scenario, but it is significantly different, as this scenario does not revolve around around Chiang Kai-Shek training in Germany. Instead, the point of divergence with history is in 1936. In my timeline, Alexander von Falkenhausen convinces the leaders of Nazi Germany to support the Koumintang regime of China rather than the Empire of Japan. Germany sends military and industrial aid to Nationalist China, which goes into industrialisation of China, particularly on the coast and in Sichuan province. German military attaches train Chinese soldiers and officers in modern tactics. With German support, Chiang Kai-Shek continues his conflict with Mao. Germany continues to supply the Nationalists with "volunteer" air squadrons, tanks and small arms. The Soviet Union provided the Communist Chinese with small arms and light artillery. The Civil War in China turns into a proxy war between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union. The more numerous and well-equipped Nationalist forces defeat the Communists. Chiang Kai-Shek subsequently purges pro-Communist elements remaining in China, whilst Mao escapes to Mongolia and occasionally co-ordinates cross-border raids with his lieutenant Kim Il-Sung.
