second sino-japanese war 1937-1940

Cannon armed, too.
Yeah, a D500, G3M and a Hawk III would really beef up the existing planeset. If I could spare the cash i'd stump up for a flyable Hawk III right now...

Thus it’s currently a big deal in China anytime Chinese technology, or diplomats, beats the Westerners. In the Chinese universe, it's the supreme insult for foreigners to best the Chinese, militarily or otherwise. But for the last few centuries, that is what happened. China isn't really looking for a war with the West, but politicians find it easy to win approval by playing up the might of the motherland, and what China can do (in theory) if anyone messes with us. That process induces some amnesia about what has really happened in the past, but that's what nationalism and demagoguery are all about.
