Ishihara Kanir said, asking his adjutant to bring the big map.

"This is Annan, this is India. This is Afghanistan. As long as we can pass through Afghanistan, we can attack the Soviet Union and then directly capture China's Xinjiang, Tibet and even Mongolia..."

Ishihara Kan's fingers drew a circle on the map and clicked them all the way to several points.

"If we launch a battle against the Soviet Union from Afghanistan, then there are several benefits for us. First, we can open up the road to Afghanistan. Now Afghanistan is in urgent need of a lot of industrial products. They are reforming, and that Zahir must also need to give some benefits to appease the powerful families of Afghan families who have taken away his authority."

Everyone nodded to express their understanding. In fact, it was like Japan's Meiji Restoration. Although it showed that Emperor Ji had carried out drastic reforms, he still needed to give some of the interests to appease the monks below.

The position of generals in the army and naval system and the aristocratic academies of the empire were the comforting of those nobles by Meiji. It is precisely because of this that Japan had the opportunity to complete the innovation.

The current situation in Afghanistan is actually similar to that in the early Meiji Restoration, and Zahir must also need interests to appease the aristocratic families in Afghanistan.

If there is no replacement of interests, the consequences will be that those aristocratic families fight against Zahir to protect their own interests. If this happens, the best result will be a loss-making loss.

The aristocratic families in Afghanistan are different from other places. Years of war have made them all possess a large number of troops and weapons. Many of them still maintain a large number of private soldiers.

If we want to do it, these aristocratic families will not gain any advantage when they join forces with Zahir.

Ishihara Kanir had actually been considering this matter for a long time. Since Japan successfully captured India, he knew that sooner or later the Germans would force Japan to attack the Soviet Union.

Therefore, Ishihara Kanir has been thinking about how Japan should exchange the Afghan passage at the lowest price. At that time, not many people were concerned about this matter.

What everyone was paying attention to at that time was the actions of the National Defense Force in Southeast Asia, especially the Southwest Military Region of the National Defense Force once occupied Myitkyina, Dien Bien Phu and Liangshan.

This greatly threatened Japan's interests in Annan. Therefore, the entire base camp was considering how to stop the National Defense Force's attack in Annan.

In fact, this cannot be blamed on these base camp staff. The National Defense Forces have taught Japan too much lessons and forced Japan to divert most of its attention to them.

Of course, this transfer can be achieved. In the original industrial capacity and combat analysis capabilities, Japan could not be much worse than the newly established National Defense Forces.

Therefore, as long as you are careful and improve the National Defense Forces in a timely manner, you will not gain any advantage even if you attack them.

For example, now, although the Japanese improved Type 1 and II fighter jets are still better than those of the National Defense Forces, they are much better than before being suppressed and beaten.

As long as there is a certain modification, it is not impossible to achieve complete confrontation with the National Defense Forces.

On the one hand, the Army has absorbed the tank tactics of the National Defense Forces and has begun to design and manufacture its own new tanks. On the other hand, it has continuously improved its own fortification construction.

Firepower matching, layout, manufacturing and equipment of anti-tank weapons, deployment of personnel, etc. So the Japanese army faced by the Southwest Military Region now is actually much more difficult to fight than the Japanese army faced by the main forces of the National Defense Forces in the past.

Most of these Japanese troops have absorbed the experience of failure in the Chinese battlefield and have comprehensively improved their positions, firepower and anti-tank weapons. Even the transfer speed of artillery has been greatly improved.

This led to the fact that the Southwest Military Region could not defeat the Japanese army in Guangdong, Jiangsu and Zhejiang like the South China Military Region.

On the contrary, their battle in Annan turned into a mess. In many cases, they had to capture the Japanese army's positions by just a little bit, grinding them a little bit, and they could take down the positions after they were almost done.

This is true in Dien Bien Phu, and the situation in Liangshan is similar. This made the Southwest Military Region very depressed. They originally thought they would win a big victory in Annan, but what they didn't expect was that the Japanese army here was actually hard to chew.

"Ishihara, this matter is left to you." Ishihara Jaein still followed his previous habits and directly smiled at Ishihara: "This time your mission is not just to open up the passage in Afghanistan. I hope you will lead some troops and be responsible for the mission of attacking the Soviet Union."

Yaein Ichien is not a fool, so he naturally knows the contradiction between Ishihara Kanji and Tojo Hideki. In order to balance this contradiction, it is best for one of them to leave the local area.

As the Prime Minister, Hideki Tojo naturally cannot leave. So the only one who wants to leave is Ishihara Kanir. Moreover, Hashihito Miyaki also wanted to know whether Ishihara still retained his combat instinct as a soldier after so many years.

Japan assisted Germany in launching a war against the Soviet Union. It was not safe to leave this matter to others. Moreover, most of the Japanese troops are now placed in Annan to resist the attack of the National Defense Forces.

There are not many troops that can be sent to Afghanistan. At this time, a person with specific strategic planning and strong tactical execution capabilities is needed to go to command.

In the heart of the Ishihara Kanir, Ishihara Kanir is the best candidate.

"Hay! Ishihara must do his best to live up to His Majesty the Emperor and the Chief's entrusted!!" Ishihara Kanir has been so suffocated over the years. In fact, he doesn't like this kind of life as a staff officer at all.

Where can I be so happy to lead my own troops to fight as a staff officer? And many times, as a base camp, people in the inland army have to compromise with the navy for some benefits.

If he was the commander of the first place, Ishihara Kanir could curse the men in the base camp to the bottom line without ability. But he was in the base camp, but he could only be the target of being scolded.

Ishihara Kanir had already been very upset in this life. He wanted to go to the battlefield and command the troops himself, and use his strengths to win one more pleasing victory after another than these plans.

"Your Majesty, I do not agree with contact with the Japanese. In my opinion, this is tantamount to seeking a skin from a tiger! Those from the island country cannot trust them at all."

In the Gurhanna Palace in Kandahar, Afghanistan, Mohamed Idris Daud Khan, commander of the Central Army Corps of the Kingdom of Afghanistan and dean of the military academies, had no sense of respect for his king.

The current king of Afghan Kingdom, Mohammed Zahir Shah, frowned, and was very dissatisfied with his cousin's unrespectful performance.

"Dawud, the situation is that the Japanese have entered India. India, which has achieved independence, is now developing vigorously with the support of Japan." Zahir looked at his cousin and sighed: "I originally thought that the modernization achievements of the West, especially Britain and France, were incomparable, but now it seems that they are not the best."

"If the Germans are, I dare not contact them. They are now preparing for an attack on the Soviet Union. If they are mixed with them, perhaps Afghanistan must face another war. Although China is on our border, there are mountains between us. And now China itself is in the trouble of war, so we don't need to cause trouble."

As he said that, Zahir sighed and stood up and said, "If Afghanistan wants to develop, we want to lead the people to achieve a better life, then the modernization of the country is the only way to go. But apart from learning from others, we have no other way to modernize..."

"We can learn from the Soviet Union!" Dawud mentioned the Soviet Union and his eyes suddenly shone. He shouted to his cousin: "The industrial achievements made by the Soviet Union are worth learning from. They have only been several years since the Civil War to the present, and they can produce tanks and fighter jets by themselves! What a rapid industrial construction this is, I think we should learn from them..."

Zahir looked at his cousin as if he was looking at an idiot with a pig intestine in his mind. Dawud was originally talking excitedly, but with the look of looking at his brother, he immediately stopped talking.

"Dawud, it would be fine if others said this. How could you say this?! Not to mention the Soviet policy, it would be impossible for us to implement this policy. The establishment of Afghanistan was based on the head clan. You and I were all from these clans. And every official, even merchants, soldiers, and who can have a relationship with the head clan?! Do you want to clean up all of us?!"

Dawud was stunned when he heard this, and then Zahir said: "Also, the Soviet Union has now become the target of attacking Germany and Japan. Famous quotes all saw that the Germans were actively preparing to attack the Soviet Union."

"At this time we have something to do with the Soviet Union, so it's no different from finding bullet blocks by ourselves." After a pause, Zahir said: "Afghanistan will face two sides of attack from Japan and Germany. Do you think we can survive?!"

"We... haven't we ever defeated Britain..."
