Could Hitler start backing Japan instead of China in either 1933 or 1934
What would be the impact on the Chinese military
Would German Advisers aid the Japanese military
What would be the impact on the Sino-Japanese war
Couldn't Germany provide military advisers and provide weapons licences to Japanit became, in 33-34 it had a weak army and I doubt it could provide much to the Japs.
Germany could get it from japan because Sangdong mine in japanese korea had largest tungsten deposit.The immediate impact would be that Germany would need a new source of Tungsten; China was one of their main sources of the strategic metal, and with Germany's credit problems, and the number of countries unwilling to trade with the Nazi regime, finding a replacement source would be problematic.
Historically they lost access to China's Tungsten when Japan joined the Tripartite Agreement, but were able to obtain it from mines in Nationalist Spain.

this is not a one way street? Japan was wary of alliance with Germany for most of the 1930's no matter Nazi regime aims.
Were trade embargoes really a problem for Nazi Germany in the years it had a military mission in China (1933-1938)?
"Japs"?Germany is too busy with rearment to back up other countries I don't know if they would even have the resources to do it. Remember it was only in 1939 or 40 that Germany became the monster it became, in 33-34 it had a weak army and I doubt it could provide much to the Japs.
However what I imagine they could do is to set up close ties and ensure Japan participates in Barbarossa (which was in Hitler's plans since the 20s if you believe Mein Kampf), the problem is that such extensive preparations would require Germany to think the USSR was a foe worthy of throwing everything at it and making extensive preparations.
If they set up such close ties Germany might avoid making Molotov-Ribbentrop, which as far as I recall pissed off the Japs a lot because it was done where Khalkhin Gol was ongoing, or warn Japan that this treaty is temporary and guarantee them their support in taking Soviet held territory as soon for their support in Barbarossa.
This may or may not butterfly the Sino-Japanese war away, as I doubt the Japs will want to engage in China when they are preparing for a total war with the Soviets. I don't think Germany could change the military situation in Japan enough to make Khalkhin Gol a success though.
Nope.
Slur.
HUGE difference.
Or just do JpnI didnt mean it in a derogatory manner, I love Japan, I legit thought it was the way to say it short.
If someone here gets offended or its against the rules I guess I will write Japanese in full each time.

True - but then Japan was pissed off enough to exit the League, implying a deterioration in relations with its leaders, Britain and France.
This will effect the Sino-German cooperation 1926–1941Could Hitler start backing Japan instead of China in either 1933 or 1934
