If Germany attacks the Soviet Union and Japan is unable to help, Germany will choose its allies again. In the Far East, only one country, China, had the ability and conditions to assist Germany in attacking the USSR!

The guānxi between China and Germany is inherently full of weirdness. More than once, Hiroshi Oshima proposed to Nazi Germany to declare war on China.

But before Hiroshi Oshima could bring it up, he was cut off by Ribbentrop with a haha. If it is like a few times, Hiroshi Oshima finally zhidào the meaning of the Germans" "The novel chapters are updated the fastest. People have no intention of declaring war on China.

And the Japanese also noticed yidiǎn: Shihou in which China declared war on the Axis powers, mainly against Japan. Italy is only mentioned, and Germany is not mentioned.

This makes Japan very depressed. Italy and Germany who dare to love Europe, that's a play, right?! Let's say it's allies, but in fact, it's each fighting each other, right?!

"If we attack from India, we have to cross a difāng. This is it! "Ishihara guaner zhidào, this shihou should be the shihou of ziji speaking.

As the most trusted staff officer of the chief of staff of the base camp, it is necessary to provide some feasible plans in this shihou. And the difāng that Ishihara Waner refers to made everyone depressed all at once.

That difāng is called Afghanistan, and it also has a famous nickname: the Graveyard of Empires.

In that land, a large number of once glorious empires are buried. Méiyou was an empire that could rule on the soil of Afghanistan for more than fifty years.

Persian Empire, Alexander's Empire, Sassanid Empire, Arab Empire...... Until modern times, the British Empire, armed to the teeth, conquered Afghanistan three times in a row. In the end, he could only choose to recognize his independence in 1921.

The first Anglo-Afghan war cost the British more than 30,000 men and 150 million pounds in one go. The end result was a retreat of 16,000 British troops and their entourage and family members along the way to Jalalabad.

All the attacking British troops were finally killed, and only one medic, who was seriously wounded, ran back to Jalalabad to report the total annihilation of the British army. This ensuing war, which lasted three and a half years. It ended in the choice of the British to withdraw to India in a hurry.

Thirty-seven years later, the British launched a second conquest of Afghanistan. This time, the British army, with 35,000 people as the main force, launched a war against Afghanistan. Although the British succeeded in capturing most of Afghanistan, the Afghans were overwhelmed by the massive guerrilla warfare that followed.

At the cost of nearly 20,000 casualties, the British finally reached a deal with Afghanistan. Britain agreed to Afghanistan's internal political autonomy, but foreign affairs were under British control. But even so, Afghanistan believes that it is not enough. The crackdown continues.

Afghanistan is under an almost frenzied offensive. Finally, in April 1881, Britain abandoned its intention to occupy Afghanistan and withdrew from Afghanistan.

The third time. It was also the war that finally forced Britain to recognize Afghanistan's independence. It was also the worst loss for the UK.

After the Second Anglo-Afghan War, the British were granted colonial privileges in Afghanistan although Méiyou acquired Afghanistan as a colony of Ziji.

So, there was the beginning of the third war in Afghanistan. In February 1919, Afghan reformists came to power and subsequently announced that they would not recognize all British privileges in Afghanistan.

This completely infuriated the British. So the sun never sets, the empire decided to teach Afghanistan some lessons. But the results are obvious. The British failed to teach Afghanistan a lesson. However, Afghanistan forced Britain to declare its recognition of Afghanistan's independence after paying more than 20,000 casualties.

"Ishihara...... This difāng. Don't you zhidào its situation?! This is the famous 'Graveyard of Empires'...... "The people of Méiyou are more Qingchu in Afghanistan than the Idle Yuan Palace."

Even at one point, the Idle Yuan Palace was studying why a weak Afghanistan could expel the British Empire, armed to the teeth. For this reason, he even secretly traveled to Afghanistan to observe.

At that time, Xianyuan Palace came to three conclusions: first, except for the first time the British used their own troops, the rest of the attacking forces were basically mercenary troops.

As a result, these mercenaries are only fighting for money, and many shihou will choose to defect on the battlefield. Or it is not satisfactory in terms of combat ability.

Secondly, the terrain of Afghanistan also determines that it is extremely suitable for small groups of covert operations. Because Afghanistan is located in the Hindu Kush Mountains at an average altitude of more than 3,500 meters, it has long been subject to wind erosion.

Wind erosion has created both caves and cliffs. The construction is weird. This particular topographic formation is unknown to no one other than the locals.

Churchill used to investigate here as a young man, and was overwhelmed by the complex terrain. Even later generations with advanced technology. Also any map can accurately depict the terrain of Afghanistan, especially the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Complex karst caves, caverns, cliffs, and countless underground corridors have become excellent places for Afghan ambushes, escapes, and even Tibetan hiding.

But that's not the most important thing. And most importantly: the wèizhi of Afghanistan decided that anyone who wanted to have it would be hit by someone else.

Afghanistan is located in the heart of the Eurasian continent, which is not only a key point connecting the Eurasian continent and the Middle East, but also a necessary place for major powers to enter and exit the east and west, and to the south and north.

It is bordered by Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan to the north, China on a prominent narrow strip to the northeast, Pakistan to the east and southeast, and Iran to the west.

Even for the sake of its own national security, this geographically neighboring country will continue to provide all kinds of support to the Afghan resistance forces, and even secretly send troops to participate in the war.

"Chief, I've been thinking about Afghanistan for a long time." Ishihara stood up and bowed deeply to the palace of the idle courtyard.

"Afghanistan is a hurdle that the empire must face. The empire wants to become a great power, and here we must step through! Ishihara bowed to everyone and said, "Even if you pay some price for this, it is inevitable. ”

"But! Ishihara-san, you have to zhidào This price empire may not be able to afford, especially now! Hideki Tojo was a little out of breath and stood up.

And Ishihara's contemptuous look in his eyes said it all. He looked down on the prime minister, who was a private soldier. In fact, Ishihara looks down on Hideki Tojo, which is basically a well-known thing.

Looking at Ishihara's eyes, Hideki Tojo gritted his teeth with hatred. If it weren't for the fact that Ishihara Wan'er was trusted by the Kanin Palace, he would have called Ziji "Tojo Senior Soldier" in front of Ziji several times with this kid and would have cleaned him up a long time ago.

"Of course we can't follow the stupidity of the British and send troops to attack Afghanistan. That's the dumbest choice and the most useless thing to do. "Ishihara Wan'er is méiyou selling shime guanzi, and he said directly.

Ishihara looked at everyone and said, "It is Muhammad who is now in power in Afghanistan. Zahir. Shah, he was the assassinated former king of Afghanistan Mohammed. Nadir. Son of Shah. ”

"Zahir is a man with a lot of ambition and ideas. Unlike his father, he is now vigorously pursuing reforms in Afghanistan. On the one hand, he allowed women to be educated and developed a whole set of constitutions. At the same time, it vigorously absorbs Western culture. ”

After a pause, Ishihara said with a smile: "Of course, he did this Yijing touched the interests of those former Afghan families. So he is now sitting on the crater, ready to face the fate of his father Yiyàng or be overthrown. ”

"Of course, he also has Ziji's allies. It's the young people who have seen the shijiè outside and want to change Afghanistan. ”

Xianyuan Gong Zairen smiled, he zhidào Ishihara Waner meant. In any case, the combat capabilities of Afghanistan made it clear that he could serve as an ally of the Great Japanese Empire.

Afghanistan is short of shime now?! He almost lacks modern things. There is no shortage of shime in Afghanistan?! The last thing he lacks is the soldiers who fight in Nénggou!

As long as there are enough weapons and equipment, it is possible to arm a large number of troops there. Perhaps these armies were worse off head-on, but as long as they allowed Zijitongguo Afghanistan and accompanied Ziji to the Soviet Union.

The takeaways are objective. For the territory of Afghanistan, the Japanese are rather méiyoushime ideas. To be honest, Afghanistan is much more barren than Southeast Asia.

The only use of Afghanistan for the current Japan is to provide them with a road to the Soviet Union. Of course, if you have to add one, it can provide a group of combat soldiers.

"Isn't our company still wondering where we can sell those products?! Afghanistan is the best option. Ishihara said with a smile: "Afghanistan has a lot of gold mines, and I believe that the presidents of these resources will definitely be interested." ”

It's all said and done, if you don't mingbái here, it's really sitting in vain. Ishihara's approach is simple: to treat Afghanistan as a trading partner and a cooperative ally.

However, it is necessary to distinguish it from countries such as Annan and the Philippines that are dependent on Japan, and the independence of Afghanistan should not be touched by it. It is okay to cooperate with them in doing some business, and by the way, you can lobby them to form an alliance with Japan and send troops to the Soviet Union.

Anyway, it is far away from the Soviet Union, and Japan will definitely not be able to get the territory that has been defeated. These are cheaper for the Afghans! But those Afghan resources are enough for Japan to make a fortune.

And most importantly, to leave Germany with nothing to say. Bijing Japan sent troops to help fight the Soviet Union, and Germany is not good to say more about this matter.

"If Ruguo is properly handled, we can even directly set foot in the Xinjiang region with this attack! The flanks of the coalition government form wēixié! (To be continued......)
