USSR entering China

[JbuckBuddy]

Can the USSR enter China before July 1939 or do they have to wait until then? Specifically to reinforce CCP controlled zones but also possibly to attack kmt or Japanese controlled zones in China.

Any help or info would be appreciated thanks.

@jbuckbuddy No way could they declare war on KMT or Japan before July, 1939. Refer to the USSR National Reference Sheet for that.

If Japan declared war on USSR and USSR took back Japanese territory that was in China, then USSR could enter China before July, 1939.

If CCP were to possess Sinkiang, it is my understanding that the USSR could move into Sinkiang with the CCP.

@hbg-gw-enthusiast No one your last point. To share a territory you must be aligned. (From the same side and at war with the same major power.)
That means to share Sinkiang, both the USSR and CCP would need to be at war with Japan, or FEC, or something like that.

@trig Right you are, Trig!

@jbuckbuddy China at War allows USSR to invade Sinkang in July of 37 but OOB must be July of 1939 but I warn you about doing this because this will cause the Warlords to align to KMT (or whatever the rule book depending on expansions state) and put you at war with KMT which means USSR lost it’s neutrality to the Allies and might cause the Allies to declare war on you.
