Regarding the implementation of the overall war, the German Command meeting quickly reached a consensus. Although no one knows how long the war will last and how large it will be in the end, everyone still knows the truth about whether to be prepared or not.

Before, there was not enough oil and non-ferrous metals, so we could only save on fighting the world war. Now that the Middle East and North Africa have been defeated, the bottleneck of oil and non-ferrous metals will soon disappear. So what are the reasons not to build more tanks, aircraft and warships?

It is also possible to use the overall war to integrate France, the Netherlands, Spain, Denmark and Norway into the European Community system, which are still neutral. As for the only harmful thing, it is nothing more than issuing many public debts. However, as long as the war can be won, no matter how many public debts are, everyone finally voted in favor. However, today's meeting of the commander-in-chief only determined the general direction of implementing the overall war. To truly implement the overall war, just to formulate plans and coordinate the interests of the European Community and the EU (Tariff Union) countries, it will take two or three months no matter how fast it is. It will be considered as the speed of flying if it can be officially implemented in June 1941.

In terms of national mobilization, Germany's national socialism is ultimately inferior to Soviet G-ism.

Just when Hessmann was fully mobilizing the general armament mobilization for 18,000 aircraft (referring to the commonly used number) and 12,000 tanks and assault artillery (referring to the commonly used number). Stalin's Workers' and Peasants' Red Army already owned 15,000 aircraft and 25,000 tanks, which was definitely not a small number in early 1941. According to the investigation by the Soviet Red Army Military Intelligence Bureau, the total number of aircraft and tanks in all countries in the world except the Soviet Union is not as much as that of the Soviet Union.

If we simply compare the number of aircraft and tanks (referring to the commonly used number), the Soviet Red Army is undoubtedly the most powerful military force in the world, and is even stronger than the seemingly invincible German Wehrmacht!

But what Comrade Stalin couldn't understand was that the Soviet Red Army had the largest number of tanks and aircraft in the world, millions of Bolshevik soldiers armed with Marxism-Lenin, plus the leadership of the glorious, correct, and great Soviet Bolshevik Party, and the greatest fatherly leader in the world with a steely will, how could he not defeat the overwhelming victory of the German team?

The Germans used to fight Poland and France, and now they fight Britain in the Mediterranean. It seems that there is no effort at all. It's so devastating!

However, although the Soviet Red Army fought in Ukraine, Western Belarus and Finland, they all won, but they were barely victorious, not good-looking at all. No matter how they looked, they didn't look like they were about to liberate all mankind. And this time, they entered Afghanistan, which was backward, closed and ignorant, and it seemed that they were not as smooth as they imagined.

The scene of Afghan working people crossing the road to welcome the Soviet Red Army's invasion did not actually appear (in the documentary filmed by the propaganda department). The king of Afghanistan, the originally seemingly enlightened and progressive Zahir Shah, also revealed his reactionary nature, rejected the Soviet Union's request to open the border and use the road to liberate the Indian people, and resolutely acted as a lackey of the British Empire. When the Soviet Red Army crossed the border toward Kunduz, Mazar Sharif and Herat, Zahir Shah did something that Stalin had unexpectedly expected.

Afghanistan actually declared war on the great socialist Soviet Union! Declaration of war means leaving no room for battle to the end. Isn’t this seeking death?

"War declared war, Afghanistan actually declared war on the Soviet Union! This is really ridiculous!" Stalin looked at the letter of declaration of war from the Afghan Kingdom sent by Molotov, and was a little amused.

"Have our ambassador to Kabul made it clear to that Zahir Shah?" Stalin asked Molotov, who was also a member of the diplomatic people's committee member in the Kremlin conference room. "We don't want Afghanistan, and we don't want an inch of territory. We just want to liberate the 300 million oppressed Indian people, so we need to borrow a way."

"I made it clear, but Zahir Shah did not allow the Red Army to pass through Afghanistan."

Molotov said helplessly: "Maybe he doesn't believe we are just borrowing a story."

"Don't believe it?" Stalin seemed very surprised. How could anyone in this world not believe in the Soviet Union?

"But we are the Soviet Union!" Stalin said in surprise, "Why should Zahir Shah fight against the Soviet Union? Does he still have any fantasies about Britain?"

In Stalin's view, the British Empire had entered a mode of perseverance after the Battle of the Mediterranean, and even the local government could not help any useful aid to the poor and weak Afghanistan.

Therefore, before Stalin decided to enter Afghanistan, he was worried that Germany would provide assistance to Afghanistan through Iran. Therefore, while entering Afghanistan, the Soviet Union also invaded Iran's Khorasan region, and now he wanted to cut off Germany's access to Afghanistan.

But he never expected that Zahir Shah was so confused that he ignored the decline of the British Empire and still held Churchill's thin legs until now.

Molotov nodded helplessly and said, "Comrade General Secretary, Afghanistan is a very closed country after all. It is normal for them to not understand that the world situation is changing. However, Afghanistan is very weak and will not cause us much trouble."

"Trouble is bound to be a must!"

As Stalin spoke, he took out his carved pipe, opened the iron can with tobacco on the table, picked up a little bit of good tobacco in the pipe, then wiped the fire, took two puffs of cigarettes, and said, "But there is nothing to be afraid of, the Soviet Union is not afraid of any trouble. Since Zahir Shah has exposed the reactionary nature, then we have nothing to be polite. The Shah dynasty in Afghanistan (Stalin regarded the title of "Shah" as Zahir's surname) must be overthrown...Afghanistan should become a People's Republic. By the way, is there an Afghan Bolshevik Party now?"

"No," Molotov replied, "and as far as I know there are no Afghan revolutionaries who believe in G-ism."

"That's it..." Stalin thought for a while and said indifferently, "It doesn't matter. As long as we liberate Afghanistan, there will definitely be Afghan Bolshevik Party. Let the Third International find a way."

The fate of Afghanistan seems to have determined that it will become a member of the socialist family! However, at this time neither Stalin nor Molotov would have thought that their opponent, King Zahir Shah, was actually not a reckless person. The reason why he dared to say no to the Soviet Union was because he received the support of the powerful German Empire and the United States of America!

At this moment, in the palace in Kabul, a German intelligence officer named Reinhart von Rottenberg, was patting his chest to make assurances to King Zahir and his cousin Prince Dawud, commander of the Kabul Garrison and dean of the Military Academy.

"…5,000 rifles, 500 machine guns and 200,000 bullets are just the beginning. Soon more weapons will be transported to Kabul by Folk aircraft to support you in the war against the Bolshevik invasion. The German Empire and the Kingdom of Afghanistan stood together, and there is no doubt about this!"

Since King Zahir and Prince Daoud did not understand German, the Major General Rottenberg spoke English. The accent was a bit strange, not the standard London accent or Indian English, but an accent they had never heard. However, King Zahir and Prince Daoud did not doubt the identity of this Colonel Rottenberg. They met this great figure of the German Central Security Bureau at a banquet held by the German Embassy in Kabul. The colonel was very generous. He used a Fokker transport aircraft to transport urgently needed arms to Afghanistan, and they were all brand new German firearms... This was obviously not a Sibei cargo.

However, King Zahir and Prince Daoud dared to fight against the Soviet Union not only because they received support from Germany. They knew the international trend. Germany is very powerful, but they may not necessarily win the final victory. Because there are two countries as powerful as Germany in the world, the Soviet Union and the United States. If only Germany supports it, they would not dare to declare war on the Soviet Union, but the United States also stood up to support Afghanistan at a critical moment!

Shortly after Colonel Rotenberg left, Colonel Ginrich, a secret envoy in the US president who was dressed in a very gentlemanly manner (actually Ian Freming, an agent of the British and Love Department), also arrived at the Kabul Palace, bringing greater good news.

"His Majesty the King, His Highness." Colonel Gingrich spoke very standard English, as good as the authentic British that Prince Daoud met when he was studying in France.

Colonel Gingrich said: "10,000 m1903 rifles and 1,000 Browning m1917, 500,000 bullets and 40,000 mk1 grenades have just arrived in Peshawar and will arrive in Kabul in two days. There is also a military advisory group composed of 20 US officials, which will also arrive at the same time. Later, we will also provide you with the m1 75mm howitzer and the m2 60mm mortar. Both of these cannons are very light and suitable for the complex mountains of Afghanistan."
