what if Germany teach Blitzkrieg to china and use their war against japan to see if it worked?
They build the Chinese army in the 1920s-30s and it was destroyed by the Japanese:what if Germany teach Blitzkrieg to china and use their war against japan to see if it worked?
OP said China would be taught the German concept of Bewegungskrieg, not Japan. China is incapable of carrying it out. Japan on the other hand wouldn't necessarily need motorized or armored divisions to carry out German operational concepts and in fact did quite well with foot bound maneuver warfare in China.I think that there are far too many logistical problems, and far too few mechanized and motorized Japanese divisions for any sort of Blitzkrieg to come to fruition.
Honestly, I think that the biggest hindrance to any sort of rapid conquest is going to be logistics.
