So, what if, instead of taking all the Japanese factories from Manchuria and transporting them to Russia, the Soviet Union simply lets the Chinese Communists take all that industrial capacity for themselves? How can Mao play his cards right to even more decisively defeat the Kuomintang during the Chinese Civil War?

Perhaps arming his men with rifles from those factories and ammunition, so that they won't suddenly run out of bullets? Maybe now that he has more artillery, he can more effectively reduce KMT morale?


Any ideas are welcomed.
