...I don't know why, but a lot of TLs are asking questions I have been writing about in the past year.
Chiang was quite pally with the Germans before the Second World War. If Japan had not fallen out with Britain, I think the Japanese would have wanted to be allied in order to get oil fuel, etc. A Sino-German Axis might have been possible. Chinese ports could have provided bases for U-boats and the Chinese could have stormed Indo-China or gone for India. Ve-ery interesting...
Hoenstly, there has been little to convince me that Germany could be of any use to China in the Second World War or vice versa,especially if Japan is part of the Allies. Their country was still fighting a civil war, good chunks of it's industry and miltiary was in shambles or occupied, Chiang's position was often percarious and if it's in league with Germany, then it's going to have the USSR, Japan, Britain and eventually America staring it down it. Germany is in no position to assit China in anyway against it's enemies and only serves to benefit Germany, as China is a distraction for the USSR and the US.
