Enable Military trade with equipment

Make it possible to trade military equipment again. It is historically known that countries traded in military equipment (not soldiers, so we should allow military trade in equipment and not in infantry, militia, mechanized or motorized infantry, commandos or paratroopers.). This will make team play more efficient by allowing novice inexperienced players to defeat even experienced players while playing as a team, as by distributing research objects they will be able to develop techniques of their chosen species and sell them to their allies. Also buy other types of equipment from them. I love this game and want it to be more realistic.

Every equipment that is produced costs manpower to build and to fight. Buying this unit would conclude in also buying that manpower that's invested in that unit and would result in buying mercenairies. There were no mercenairies in WWII so this would be very incorrect. It is way more important to learn how to manage your economy. If you master the economical part of the game there's no need to buy units because you will always have enough resources to produce your units. It's also important to prioritize as you can't research, build and produce everything. Finally you need to adapt your army to your economy. If you play with Egypt for example which is low on oil then going heavy on the tanks isn't the best strategy. Going for the infantry branch would be more adapted to your economy.

What if trading in each type of equipment released the manpower required for that equipment to the seller and the buyer, on the contrary, paid the manpower?

That would be a good compromize. However if a purchase like that is possible it will ruin the game as the players that use gold will go completely wild.
