Originally my question was WI more competent Mao Zedong, but I expanded it to account for the fact that it may be easier to have someone else take control of the Shaanxi Soviet than the major changes that would need to take place to make Mao more competent. Basically what would need to happen to either make Mao more competent when he takes over the party during and after the Long March? Or what would need to happen for someone else to take control instead of him, someone like Zhou Enlai, or Bo Gu? The encirclement campaigns still happen, the Long March still happens, only a more competent leader takes control. Eventual goal is to have a more successful PRC without the Great Leap Foward or the Cultural Revolution occurring ITTL.
