If Germany attacks the Soviet Union and Japan cannot provide assistance, Germany will re-select allies. In the Far East, China is the only country that has the ability and conditions to assist Germany in attacking the Soviet Union together!

The relationship between China and Germany was originally full of strangeness. The base camp has asked Hiroshima to declare war on Nazi Germany more than once.

But before Hiroshima had time to propose it, Ribbintrov cut it off. After a few times, Hiroshima finally understood what the Germans meant. They had no intention of declaring war with China.

Moreover, the Japanese also noticed one thing: when China declared war on the Axis powers, it mainly declared war on Japan. However, it only mentioned Italy and Germany without mentioning it.

This is called Japan very frustrated. It turns out that Italy and Germany in Europe are watching dramas, right?! We say they are allies, but in fact they are fighting each other, right?!

"If we attack from India, we must cross a place. It's here!" Ishihara Kaner knew that it should be the time to speak.

As the chief of staff of the base camp, Miyamiya Zairen, the most trusted staff, it is necessary to provide some feasible plans at this time. The point where Ishihara Kanji was referring to made everyone feel frustrated all of a sudden.

That place is called Afghanistan, and it also has a famous alias: Empire Cemetery.

On that land, a large number of once glorious empires were buried. No empire could rule over Afghanistan for more than fifty years.

The Persian Empire, the Alexander Empire, the Sassanid Empire, the Arab Empire... Until the modern British Empire, even the British Empire, which had been armed to the teeth, conquered Afghanistan three times in a row, but in the end they could only choose to recognize his independence in 1921.

The First British-Arab War caused the British to lose more than 30,000 people in one go, costing 150 million pounds. The final result was that the remnants of the British army, their entourage and their families were retreating along the way to Jalalabad.

In the end, only one seriously injured military doctor ran back to Jalalabad and reported the news that the British army had been wiped out. The subsequent three and a half years war ended with the choice of the British to withdraw from India in panic.

Thirty-seven years later, the British launched a second conquest against Afghanistan. This time, the British army launched a war against Afghanistan with 35,000 people as the main force. Although Britain successfully occupied most of Afghanistan, the large-scale guerrilla war launched by the Afghans immediately made the British anxious.

After nearly 20,000 casualties, the British finally reached an agreement with Afghanistan. The UK agreed to Afghanistan's internal affairs, but diplomacy was controlled by the British. But even so, Afghanistan believes that it is still not enough. The attack continues.

Under Afghanistan's almost crazy attack, finally in April 1881, Britain gave up its plan to invade Afghanistan and withdrew all from Afghanistan.

The third time, and the ultimate force of Britain to admit that Afghanistan's independence, was also the worst loss for Britain.

After the Second Anglo-Arab War, although the British did not acquire Afghanistan as their colony, they still obtained colonial privileges in Afghanistan.

Therefore, the third Afghan War began. In February 1919, Afghan reformist figures took office and then announced that they would not recognize all British privileges in Afghanistan.

This completely angered the British. So the Empire decided to teach Afghanistan some lessons. But the result was obvious. The British failed to teach Afghanistan a lesson. However, Afghanistan forced Britain to declare its independence after paying more than 20,000 casualties.

"Ishihara...do you know what's going on in this place?! This is the famous 'Empire Cemetery'..." No one knows the situation in Afghanistan better than the Immortal Miyain.

Even the Palace of the Immortal Palace was studying why the weak Afghanistan could expel the British Empire armed to the teeth. For this reason, he even went to Afghanistan to observe.

At that time, the Xianyuan Palace came to three conclusions: First, except for the first time the British used local troops, the rest of the offensive troops were basically mercenary troops.

This leads to these mercenaries who fight just for money often choose to turn against each other on the battlefield or have poor combat capabilities.

Secondly, the terrain of Afghanistan also determines that it is very suitable for small hidden combat. Since Afghanistan is located in the Hindu Kush Mountains with an average altitude of more than 3,500 meters, wind erosion has been occurring for a long time.

The wind-eroded landforms also create crisscrossing caves and cliffs. The structure is strange. No one except the locals know about this special terrain structure.

Churchill once investigated here when he was young and was overwhelmed by the complex terrain. Even in later generations with advanced technology, no map can accurately depict the terrain at the junction of Afghanistan, especially the junction of Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Complex caves, caves, cliffs and countless underground corridors have become an excellent place for ambushing and attacks in Afghanistan, escaping the scene and even hiding things.

But none of these are the most important. The most important thing is: the location of Afghanistan determines that anyone who wants to own it will be hit by others.

Afghanistan is located in the heart of the Eurasian continent. It is not only a key link between the Eurasian continent and the Middle East, but also a must-pass place for major powers to enter and exit east and west, and go south and north.

It is connected to Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan in the north, the prominent narrow strip in the northeast borders China, the east and southeast borders Pakistan, and the west borders Iran.

This geographical location is really excellent. Therefore, if any country wants to monopolize this place, then the surrounding countries will continue to provide various support to the Afghan rebel forces for their own national security, and may even send troops to the war secretly.

"General, I have always been considering the issue of Afghanistan." Ishihara Kaner stood up and bowed deeply to the Miyagi Sairen of the Immortal Palace.

"Afghanistan is a hurdle that the empire must face. If the empire wants to become a big country, then we must take it here!" Ishihara Kanji bowed to everyone and said, "Even if you pay some price for this, it is inevitable."

"But! Ishihara Sang, you must know that the price of the empire may not be able to afford it, especially now!" Tojo Hideki couldn't hold back his anger and stood up and said.

And Ishihara Kanir's contemptuous look had already shown it all. He looked down on this prime minister who was born in the upper class. In fact, Ishihara Kanir looked down on Tojo Hideki, which is basically well-known.

Looking at Ishihara Kan's eyes, Hideki Tojo gritted his teeth with hatred. If Ishihara Kan's belief was not trusted by Ishihara Hashihito, he would have dealt with him long ago because this kid called himself "Private Tojo" in front of him several times.

"Of course we can't imitate the British to send troops to attack Afghanistan like the British. That's the stupidest choice and the most useless approach." Ishihara Kan's fault was not at all, and said directly.

Ishihara Kaner glanced at everyone and said, "The one in power in Afghanistan is Muhammad Zahir Shah, the son of former Afghan king Mohammad Nadir Shah who was assassinated."

"Zhashir is a man with great ambitions and ideas. Unlike his father, he is now vigorously promoting reforms in Afghanistan. On the one hand, he allows women to receive education and formulates a complete set of constitutions. At the same time, he vigorously absorbs Western culture."

After a pause, Ishihara smiled and said, "Of course, his actions have touched the interests of the former Afghan families. So he is sitting on the crater now and may face the same fate as his father or be overthrown at any time."

"Of course, he also has his own allies. They are young people who have seen the outside world and hope that Afghanistan will change."

Zairen Shin-gun smiled, he knew what Ishihara Kan-r meant. In any case, Afghanistan's combat capability had already made it clear that he could be an ally of the Great Japanese Empire.

What is Afghanistan lacking now?! He almost lacks modern things. What does Afghanistan lack?! What he lacks the most is soldiers who can fight!

As long as there are enough weapons and equipment, a large number of troops can be armed there. Perhaps these troops are less in frontal combat, but as long as they allow themselves to pass through Afghanistan and go to the Soviet Union with them.

Then the gains from this are objective. The Japanese have no idea about Afghanistan's territory. To be honest, Afghanistan is much more barren than Southeast Asia.

For Japan, Afghanistan's only use is to provide them with a road to the Soviet Union. Of course, if you have to add one, it will provide a group of combat soldiers.

"Aren't our company still thinking about where those products can be sold?! Afghanistan is the best choice." 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 right to say that, if anyone here doesn’t understand, it’s really a waste of sitting in this position. Ishihara Kan’s approach is very simple, just treat Afghanistan as its trading partner and cooperation ally.

But to distinguish it from those countries such as Annan, the Philippines, and other countries that are dependent on Japan, don’t touch Afghanistan’s independence. It is okay to cooperate with them to do some business, and by the way, you can lobby them to form an alliance with Japan to send troops to the Soviet Union.

Anyway, it is so far away from the Soviet Union, Japan will definitely not get the territory it has captured. These are cheaper for the Afghans! But those local resources in Afghanistan are enough for Japan to make a fortune.

The most important thing is that Germany can be left with nothing to say. After all, Japan sent troops to help fight the Soviet Union, so it is not easy for Germany to say more about this matter.

"If this matter is done properly, we can even directly enter the Xinjiang region with this attack! It poses a threat to the side of the coalition government!" (To be continued...)
