As Daoud spoke, the old man's face remained unchanged, but the trembling hands under his robe illustrated his excitement at the news he had heard.

Germany's attack on the Soviet Union has almost become a foregone conclusion. It's just a matter of time, maybe half a year, maybe a year. But after all, Germany could not allow the Soviet Union to control their resource lifeline.

The Soviets were well aware: war was coming. But to be honest, no one from Trotsky, Stalin, to the Soviet generals below dared to say that they were confident of winning this war.

Now with one more day, the situation of the USSR can be imagined......

"Prince Daoud, I already know about this. I will inform our committee as soon as possible, and I ask you to do your best during this time, and delay it for as long as you can......"

Daoud nodded and signaled that he had to go, and then said sincerely: "I hope that the Soviet side can prepare early, after all, my identity is not good to say too much in front of my cousin." ”

After saying that, Daoud did not stop. Carrying the spices prepared by the old man, he left the campus directly. It is not normal for His Royal Highness the Prince to stay in this small courtyard selling spices for too long.

The old man sent Daoud to the door, and Daoud thanked the old man. Thanks to the old man for answering his doubts, and at the same time thanking the old man for his hospitality.

It is commendable that His Royal Highness the Prince asks a wise elder for advice. And the old man did often talk about the scriptures with the imams in the nearby temple.

But no one knew that after Daoud had left, the old man returned to the courtyard and immediately opened the bookcase in the room and opened a cellar.

He lit the oil lamp in the cellar and telegraphed the beginning of a radio station "tick-tock......".

The telegram soon arrived in Moscow, and those who received it did not dare to slack off and immediately reported it to Trotsky and Stalin. These two were now the leaders of the entire Soviet, and almost everything had to go through them.

"Comrades all say, what should we do?!" Trotsky was now feeling a terrible headache. The Soviet Union, which Germany had already pressed, was about to run out of breath.

It's good now, the damn Japanese want to get involved again! Why didn't the Wehrmacht kill all these damn dwarfs back then, and now they're wreaking havoc everywhere in Southeast Asia.

After these soul eggs occupied most of the resources in Southeast Asia, the black hand had begun to reach out to the Middle East.

The intelligence services of the Soviet Union showed that the German army was now being redeployed in large quantities. An army group against the Soviet Union was slowly taking shape and moving towards Poland.

There is no doubt that as long as the Germans are ready, then a difficult war awaits the Soviet Union. The Fourteen-Nation Coalition was nothing more than a small force sent by various countries after the Great War.

At that time, it was not easy for the Soviet Union to survive it. Now the USSR was faced with the defeat of all the countries of Europe. And with the strength of the whole country to attack Germany.

How did the Soviet Union, which was still in the semi-agricultural and semi-industrial period, cope with it?!

"It seems that Daoud is leaning towards us, and there may not be no room for manoeuvre in this matter." Stalin smoked his pipe and said, "Since Daoud has reported this matter to us, we have plenty of time to prepare." ”

The crowd nodded. At least now it is known that the USSR can still make some preparations. It would be terrible to be faced directly with the Japanese attack from Afghanistan without realizing it!

"Or ...... Let's send an envoy to talk to Zahir?! One of the commissioners hesitated to say to everyone, after all, it was extremely difficult for the Soviet Union to deal with Germany at present.

It is even more impossible to send troops to deal with the Japanese. If it can be discussed, then it is affordable for the USSR to shed some blood in terms of price.

"It's unlikely that Zahir will accept us." Stalin shook his head and said, "If he wants to make contact with us, he will naturally let out the news." But now he is hiding from us from the Japanese. This shows that he has made up his mind! ”

"We sent people to Kandahar only to expose our relationship with Daoud. At the same time, Zahir was forced to speed up cooperation with the Japanese, but it had no effect otherwise. ”

Everyone sighed, everyone knew that Stalin had a point. Zahir seems to have really made up his mind to cooperate with the Japanese.

Actually, think about it. Zahir is understandable for doing so. The Japanese have now cooperated with India and driven out the British. It is clear that now the Axis powers are in an advantageous position in this war.

Although the Japanese suffered setbacks on the battlefield in China, even the losses were not small. However, the Japanese occupied most of the resource areas, including Southeast Asia and South Asia, which gave them the opportunity to make a comeback.

India is a populous country. And they also had training measures for the colonial army for a long time. As long as they are armed, they are a force that can fight.

In comparison. Although the Soviet Union could also threaten Afghanistan, after all, the Soviet Union was now facing the threat of Germany, and did not dare to deploy too high troops near Afghanistan. Yes, it is clear who is more threatening.

Under such a threat, Zahir naturally has to consider the security of Afghanistan itself. And the Japanese side must not be willing to waste its forces in Afghanistan in vain.

Now the Soviet Union and China have inevitably become natural allies. If the Japanese army chooses to attack Afghanistan, then it is not necessarily that the Wehrmacht will not send a large number of ordnance to Afghanistan through the hands of the Soviet Union.

And the Soviet Union, for its own security, will inevitably support Afghanistan as well. At that time, the Japanese army did not open the passage to Afghanistan, but they themselves fell into this imperial graveyard.

And, if we talk about the industrial level and production capacity. In some respects, Japan was still a cut ahead of the Soviet Union. They could have done a lot of aid to Afghanistan to gain Zahir's support.

"My suggestion is to directly let Daoud replace the current Zahir!" After a long silence, Stalin gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "This is my opinion, and I invite you comrades to discuss it." ”

Stalin's words made everyone's hearts shake, and he directly overthrew Zahir and put Daoud on the throne?! These committee members have never thought about this matter.

And if the slaughtering tiger is here, he will definitely sigh! Stalin deserves to be Stalin, and the killing of his character will never change because of his compromise with the Soviets.

"Comrade Stalin! You have to think it through. The impact of this matter will be very large! When we use force to overthrow a regime, we start by ...... "a commissar stands up and says something to Stalin."

"I know these difficulties. But I also know that we have no other choice now! Stalin interrupted the commissar somewhat rudely and said directly.

"Now the Soviets are facing a two-sided attack, and if Zahir in Afghanistan chooses the Japanese, then there is no doubt that we will be attacked by the Japanese on the border with Afghanistan."

At the same time, Germany was massing a large number of troops in Poland. Do you think we will be able to withstand the onslaught of these two countries in two places?! ”

Everyone stopped talking, and Stalin took a deep breath and said: "Daoud is also a member of the Afghan royal family after all, and by virtue of his actions this time, he shows that he is pro-Soviet." As long as we support him to take the position. Then the problem of the Japanese is not a problem. ”

"We can give him military training, weapons support, and even give him some money. We can apply for these with our allies, and I believe that Britain and the United States will not refuse. ”

"As long as Daoud is in power, then he can help us withstand a possible Japanese attack in India. He could even send troops to help us defend against the war that Germany had waged against us......"

Stalin spoke directly about several advantages of supporting Daoud's coup, and everyone in the Kremlin room listened quietly.

“…… We need to send a small force. Enter Afghanistan and assist Daoud's forces in a coup d'état. It's not a difficult thing for us. Daoud had his own supporters in Kandahar, all of whom were pro-Soviet military members. ”

"And Daoud himself is also the commander of the Central Army and the dean of the military academy, as long as he gives the order, there will be enough armed forces to support him to complete the coup!"

With a wave of his hand, Trotsky stopped Stalin's words. But he looked at Stalin and said in a deep voice: "Comrade Stalin's idea, I fully support it." Even if we lose this coup d'état, it will only be the result of facing the Japanese attack. ”

"Judging by Zahir's performance right now. He had apparently made up his mind to cooperate with the Japanese. Only by eliminating him will we be able to guarantee the security of the Soviet flank......"

Kalinin nodded, and now he looked at Trotsky. After all, now this benevolent brother is no longer the face of a theoretician, and he has begun to understand the practical application of politics.

"The point of view of Comrade Trotsky and Comrade Stalin. I couldn't agree more. I wonder what other comrades think?! Kalinin glanced at the other committee members and said directly.

What else could anyone else think?! Stalin, Trotsky and Kalinin, these three were directly the masters of the entire Soviet. All three of them agreed, and who else would dare to say a word?!

"Let's vote by show of hands! agreed with Comrades Trotsky and Stalin. Raise your hand, please. Kalinin still gave Trotsky some face, but Trotsky was still the chairman of the Soviets, didn't he?!

Kalinin's words came out. All the commissioners' hands were raised. No one would disagree with the opinion of the three leading ones. Unless he wants to be kicked out of the Soviets later.

"This matter will be reported to the coalition governments of the United States, Britain and China first." Trotsky, seeing that everyone had agreed to the adoption of the matter, said: "This matter is not only a matter for our Soviets, but in fact it is a matter for the whole of the Allies. ”

"After Daoud took power, we needed a lot of assistance to enable Daoud to withstand a possible attack from India. All this requires real money, and it is impossible for us Soviets to come up with this money. ”

Trotsky's words were soon recorded, and the meeting was dismissed after a few members had discussed the details. Everyone left the Kremlin with a heavy heart and carried out the task at hand.

The Soviet Red Army needed to select reliable and elite men to go to Kandahar to assist Daoud. The diplomatic department, on the other hand, is to contact the allies and report the situation here.

And when this information reached China, it was already early in the morning. Tu Menghu gently kissed the sleeping Federica and quietly left the bedroom.

The adjutant didn't say anything, just handed the telegram in his hand to Tu Menghu's hand. Looking at the telegram, Tu Menghu laughed silently. The Slavs seem to be preparing to fight the Japanese in the Middle East!

Tu Menghu glanced at his adjutant, who left to gather the top officials of the coalition government and even the defense forces.

It was three o'clock in the morning. Most people are still asleep. But the Wehrmacht's conference room was brightly lit, and bowls of hot tea were brought to the conference room.

"If the Japanese succeed, the impact on us will be very great!" Su Zongzhe drank all the tea, frowned and walked to the map and said: "Xinjiang, Tibet, and even Mongolia will be threatened by the Japanese army, and if Germany is involved, I think the Soviets will definitely not be able to prevent it." ”

Chen Haihua frowned and looked at the map for a long time, and sighed: "It's useless for us to be in a hurry, we are too far away to do support." There are snow-capped mountains in between! The altitude is too high. If it's stronger, the loss will be great......"

Afghanistan is not near the sea, and Navy Commander Shen Honglie did not squeak directly. Lin Sen and the others looked at the map and frowned, to be honest, if it was not possible to affect the borders of the country, the bigwigs of these coalition governments felt that it was best for the Soviets and the Japanese to directly beat each other to death.

In the eyes of Lin Sen and other old people, neither of them is a good thing. Lao Maozi has taken advantage of China in modern times. Now it's a part of the commander-in-chief who has snatched it back, but those gangs of sons are still thieves and covet Vladivostok.

Not to mention the Japanese. There is no one in this coalition government who does not hate these gangsters, but Lin Sen and the others hope to catch more Japanese people so that they can build roads for themselves.

If you want to get rich, build roads first. A well-formed transportation network is the most basic requirement for the development of the country, and mining, reclamation, and animal husbandry are ...... and so on require a large number of manpower, and Lin Sen is now eager for the Wehrmacht to march into Tokyo as soon as possible.

Capture all the Japanese and open mines, reclaim and build roads for themselves. Yan Zhengqing, Lin Sen and others knew it deeply. The development of any country, especially in the early stage of industrial development, requires a large amount of raw capital accumulation.

Britain built up its industrial base by pirates and sheep cannibalism, while Germany relied on reparations from the Franco-Prussian War and sweatshops in what is now called. During the Meiji period, the practice of industrialization was even more brutal.

At that time, the tax rate actually reached 50% or more. Moreover, 60% of the country's financial resources are invested to keep the military industry alive, and even then they still build arsenals, shipyards, railways, etc. at all costs.

In the Japanese writer Ryotaro Sima's "Clouds on the Board", he described the glorious victory of the Japanese at that time, but also described the bleak livelihood of the Japanese people. In order to obtain funds and foreign exchange. At that time, Japanese women were forced to go abroad to sell their sex, while the men who stayed in China lived like pigs and dogs.

At that time, they relied solely on the belief that they were loyal to the emperor. Support the entire country with the beliefs of bushido. Of course, there were various revolts and uprisings, but they were quickly suppressed.

Now China also needs to do primitive capital accumulation, and this tiger of the Wehrmacht has found the best way for himself: prisoners of war! At the same time, the Tiger has also found the best source of funding for himself: selling arms!

Through arms sales, the Wehrmacht accumulated a large amount of money during its time in the three eastern provinces. At the same time, through cooperation with countries including Britain, the United States, France, and Germany, the Wehrmacht obtained a large number of loans and exchanged resources for the support of basic industrial facilities.

All this laid the foundation for the current coalition government. But if you want to build the whole country, these alone are not enough. The size of China as a whole is so large that this investment of money and industrial products is only a drop in the bucket.

In addition, the Wehrmacht is still in the war phase, and a large amount of resources must be given priority to meet the needs of the war. The second is the construction of people's livelihood. And the war brought a large number of young people who had to enter the army.

This has also had a huge impact on the country's development.

Of course, our Tiger Slayer will always find a way to deal with it. This time, the deal was dealt with by the prisoners of war. The defeat of the Japanese in China left behind hundreds of thousands of prisoners of war, including the Japanese army and the Southeast Asian coercion army.

The prisoners of war are now helping to build roads in various places, and those who might have started the riots are all being held in the mines. The milder ones will be sent to reclaim the wasteland.

Even so, Lin Sen and the others still felt that there were not enough manpower.

"Meng Ben, what do you think?!" After looking at the map for a while, Lin Sen was also thinking about what the coalition government and the defense force should do. But after thinking about it for a long time, I really don't know how to deal with it.

Lin Sen couldn't help it, in fact, there was no way to slaughter the tiger. saw him smile bitterly and said to Lin Sen: "My uncle, you can't help it, where can I do anything?!" ”

Tu Menghu walked to the map, pointed to the places separated by China and Afghanistan, and said: "All we can do now is to send troops to these defenses. But it will take time, and when we have the manpower, maybe the Soviets will succeed. ”

"The whip is beyond reach...... Su Zongzhen sighed, this place is really a big trouble. In fact, the junction between India and the coalition government is also a big problem.

However, that place is first of all on the plateau, and secondly, the transportation is not convenient. India and the coalition government, in fact, both sides can only stare there.
