Report of the Attendance of the chinese delegation in Poland (PRJ-Alliance)


28. Mai - 03.June

For the first time a Chinese delegation arrives Warsaw , in order to negotiate with prominent members of the Polish government. Apart from the inspection of some shipyards also the attendance of an airfield in close proximity to Lublin stands on the program. Unfortunately no member of the Chinese delegation expressed itself over the won impressions of Polish ship architecture. However it seems, as if the attendance would not have brought desired success.

With the attendance of the Flightshow Jhi June said "The PZL P.7a is already a wonderful airplane, which can offer outstanding characteristics. We have to compare the airplanes of all manufacturers directly with one another. But fortunately the first large airplane fair takes place in the autumn in Nanking, to which our transport minister invited all well-known airplane manufacturers."

China's army is momentarily in a phase of the re-orientation. For this reason the Chinese delegation visited also various armament makers of Poland. Of the simple rifle up to the field artillery.
Jhi June was inspired of the polinischen 81mm mortar , from which he ordered equivalent 200 pieces.Likewise China ordered in each case 10 howitzers of the caliber sizes 100/150 and 280 mm. Since a stationary artillery is useful not much, also still the order of the vehicles necessary for it followed the order of the cannons, 60 Ursus A truck. These reinforcement are to serve as basic stick for the "Gebirgsjägerdivision".

After a taut inspection program the Chinese delegation left Poland at the 3.June toward southeast. In a interview the head of the Chinese delegation said , "Poland is, exactly the same as China, in a phase of the military restructuring. Perhaps the attendance came one or another year too early. For this reason also the order of China does not have probably the extent like both sides to have expected. But we put the foundation-stone for the further economic Zusammmenarbeit and it were surely not the last attendance here in Warsaw."

Attendance of the chinese delegation in India

10. June - 24.June

During the attendance of Indian shipyards different ship types stand to the selection. In order to have a good comparison with the German building of submarines, the Chinese delegation decided to examine the building of the submarine I-24. Here it concerns a large submarine for oceanic use.

It was intended also to visit the “Patan” however this plan was let fall, since China already ordered 3 destroyer in Germany.

Next the Chinese delegation visited the "Pidurutalagda". The frigate can be used as Patrol-ship and if necessary also as a convoy escort.

It is additionally equipped with an airplane and depth charges to fight a submarine, thus a ship of which perfectly would fit into the Chinese navy .

Due to the “Ning Hai” - problem, China presents an order for a ship of the Pidurutalagda class. This ship has to patrol the southchinese sea. The negotiations last to deep into the night. The commencement of construction for the first Chinese frigate is Q1/1932 and she will be named “Yamlai”.

Just as interesting also the “Umred” is, a Sloop which can be used as mine circular scraper for China. It nevertheless applies to keep waters around of China mine free. An advantage of this ship is free of doubts the cost factor. This concerns a small, economical unit, which can be manufactured in mass production. After a tough and long negotiation one agreed finally on the fact that China acquires the license for the building of the “Umred”. Thus an additional extent of utilization of the shipyards of China takes place.

China has a large army, however no possibility to accomplish amphibious operations. Up to now the Chinese military guidance always assumed that to be able to land their troops in a friendly port. Due to the Hainan Dao conflict it seems to be however inevitable to develop a Marineinfantry. This must be equipped with appropriate vehicles, in order to be successfully able to implement landing operations. For this reason is the Chinese delegation naturally interested like the LC-V #2 built is, in order to place if necessary an order or to acquire the license to the building. After further negotiations China bought also the license rights for the building of this type of ship.

Over a powerful submarine fleet to construct and/or maintain requires it naturally not only a supply ship but also a Depotship,why an inspection of the “Captain Jagan Rane” is inevitable. This ship fulfills almost perfectly the task of a stationary servicer.

The Indian Design of the airplanes is free of doubts responding , however the Chinese delegation is interested only in the bombers and Flightboats. Interesting would for example the twin-engine bomber of the Alleppey Aeronautics (the AA-3) and/or the Flugboot of the Mayawati company be, the M-8 Flugboot.

After a Flightshow, in which the two types were extensively introduced, Jhi June presented an order over 10 M-8 Flightboats, as well as 20 bombers AA-3 to the director of the Indian delegation. The airplanes are to be delivered still this summer at China.

As conclusion of the attendance of the Chinese delegation a meeting with the minister of foreign affairs Jal Kadharni as well as an audience with the emperor Shrinivas. In the discussions it concerned the requirement of China on Hainan Dao. India recognizes partially the legal standard of the Chinese requirement, and prefers a peaceful settlement of the conflict.

In an last interview Jhi June said "The attendance in India was a big success. I hope that this will be the beginning of an economical successfully co-operation for many years."

Perhaps I expressed myself also a little unfortunately. Naturally there is no conflict concerning Hainan Dao, but “only” different opinions concerning the nationality. But it cannot be excluded naturally that from the diversities of opinion quite an armed conflict can form. And for such eventualities to be prepared, China sends itself to train the Marineinfantry.


China is naturally interested to the Breda Ba.27. But Italy unfortunately did not invite the Chinese delegation. China however invites all aircraft manufacturers of the world, thus also the Italian, to the airplane fair in the autumn to Nanking. There the best fighter is to be selected in a peaceful competition.
