USSR It’s somewhat understandable, the USSR sent many weapons to the Chinese communists but it’s rather strange that the USSR acquired a Chinese squad and another one in the future that leaked, since they never fought together. but Germany, WTF
Not really.
This is again the cold war narrative impact.
The Soviets gave some assistance to KMT (not communists) in 1930s, because they were the defacto ruling party of China, were fighting against Japan and shared some ideology with USSR.
After Germany invaded USSR and the Soviets signed neutrality pact with Japan in 1941, they never directly involved themselves in China affairs until August 1945.

I really don’t care if it is soviets, usa or japan who will get that gun as long as it is tied to a chinese unit like it should

Yes, I know there weren’t many, but weapons were sent to the Chinese communists, but it doesn’t matter, Df is going to add two Chinese squads to the USSR and there’s nothing we can do about it.
Again, its a lie. Do not spread a lie
Ok, I take back everything I said about not adding Chinese squad to the USSR.
We should have researched the unit history since the beginning lol

It’s not a secret unit, it’s known enough
-
remaining forces of the Northeast Anti-Japanese United Army, who were exiled to the Soviet Union

The brigade was never put into combat

You’re absolutely right. It wasn’t Chinese people who joined Germany.
It was China that spent money to purchase German equipment and instructors - highly qualified German instructors with pure German heritage.
To train Chinese soldiers. To fight for the Chinese leaders.
Those soldiers were not fighting for Germany.
It was Germany that provided services for China in exchange for money.

Perhaps you haven’t noticed
I have already mentioned many times before that China has the complete right to exist as an independent faction
But the developers have other ideas
So we can only take a step back and allow China to fight within other factions
In history, China has participated in battles for both the Soviet Union and the United States. This is a fact
But it has also had German weapons and has never fought for Germany
Of course, it could also insert teams equipped with German equipment into the United States or the Soviet Union
We have no objections

“By the end of August, the unit had liberated many villages in North East China.”
And they carried out several sabotage missions in Manchuria, That’s reason enough for me to add them to the game, Now I’ll leave you and Dekard to discuss it.

Most of the community agrees with this, including me, but unfortunately DF won’t do it.
I don’t see a problem with that.

Yes, that’s right. Just for these things, there will be countless people willing to pay for them.
It’s that simple.
But it cannot be Japan.
This will lead to a diplomatic incident…

It is not difficult to prove that the Soviet Union and China fought side by side during World War II. In 1938, the Chinese Air Force and the Soviet Volunteer Air Corps coordinated to resist the Japanese aggressors over Wuhan and its surrounding airspace.

just replace the chinese rifle with an arisaka 38 either purchased from before or captured, the full sized arisaka and not the shitty carbine that the moscow premium has
They reportedly had over 35,000 arisakas in inventory so this is much more “plausible” than a chinese rifle

Excellent idea, I had almost forgotten about these! It’s the reason after all for the Fedorov being made to fire the 6.5 ammunition in the first place, because WW1 Russia did have the ammunition in stock due to owning Japanese rifles!
Please, make a suggestion to this effect!
They got even more, that’s just the redirected rifles intended for Mexico. They then bought 600k from Japan directly, then ca 130k got sent as aid by the UK.
They had nearing 800k rifles by the end.

I don’t play USSR so I really don’t care what they get as long as it’s made before 1946 and its balanced. You should ask @Veekay45 to make a suggestion to replace the chinese rifle with full length Arisaka 38s or inquire the helpers about it.
if anything, I would prefer the chinese 88 rifle to be available for Japan as a captured trophy

One way or another Hanguang 88 is on a balance of our old arsenals museum

I would prefer no unrelated foreign rifle was added at all to any Tech Tree (!).
I would be ok with Type 88/Arisaka as a limited event “captured” weapon.
But if something just had to replace the Type 88 in tech tree, I would indeed prefer something that a Soviet soldier had even a slight chance of holding.
Even the Russian side of the forum is mostly against Chinese weapons randomly appearing in USSR tech tree:
