On June 22, 1941, Germany tore up the Soviet-German non-aggression pact and invaded the Soviet Union with Italy and a number of client states.
At this point, the Eurasian continent was in flames.
Germany, too, began a two-front war.
On the one hand, it fought with Britain on the Western Front, and on the other hand, it fought with the Soviet Union on the Eastern Front.
Zhou Weiguo looked at the news, has this day finally come?
"Germany really began to fight the Soviet Union" Liu Yuan sighed, originally, they still had a good impression of the Soviet Union, but as a result, the Soviet-Japanese non-aggression pact came out, which hurt the feelings of many communists, and now, the Soviet Union was attacked, and he did not have too much emotion.
There's probably just one, oh, that's it.
Zhou Weiguo nodded.
"Wei Guo, do you think the Soviets can stop the German army" Liu Yuan still couldn't help but ask, and he couldn't help but be a little worried.
"This question, it's like if you ask the Japanese when they beat us, can we stop it" Zhou Weiguo smiled, "In fact, the situation is very similar, Germany's land area is not large, and Japan is not large, the only difference is that Germany has now won most of Europe and integrated most of its resources, while Japan is still worried about resources."
China and the Soviet Union both have a large land area and a very good strategic depth, once the Germans advance too fast, the front will be very long, not to mention, the winter in Moscow is not so good. ” "Winter in Moscow" Liu Yuan naturally didn't know this stalk, but the winter in Moscow was extremely cold, and he knew this, "due to the weather" At this point, Zhou Weiguo nodded, cold is a very important factor.
"You mean that the German army will hit Moscow" Liu Yuan reacted again, opening his mouth wide, where is Moscow, it is the capital of the Soviets, it is the red holy land in their hearts Zhou Weiguo raised his eyebrows, he was not too embarrassed to say this kind of thing, but the Germans really hit Moscow, if it wasn't for the victory of the Soviet Union in the defense of Moscow, I don't know how it will develop in the future.
"How can the Soviet Union also be a military power?"
Liu Yuan was a little uncertain, and discussing these current events in the world with Zhou Weiguo always made his heart tremble.
"We're just looking at it, it's only half a year."
Zhou Weiguo sighed, time really passed quickly, so soon, Germany had already attacked the Soviet Union.
"Half a year" Liu Yuan's eyes widened again, no, the Soviet Union would be beaten to the bottom of the capital within half a year London, Churchill's eyes are uncertain, Germany attacked the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union was the object he had always wanted to win over against Germany, and now, the Germans themselves attacked.
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, the equipment has been commissioned" "Okay."
Churchill nodded, and began his radio address to the people of the country, "Ladies and gentlemen, I am Churchill.
Today, the evil Germany invaded the Soviet Union, and now we must cooperate with our former enemy, the Soviet Union, and for the past 25 years there has not been a single person who has consistently opposed communism as I have.
I don't want to take back what I said, but it's all overshadowed by the picture that unfolds before our eyes.
Any individual or country that fought against the Third Reich, will receive our assistance.
Any individual or country that follows Hitler is our enemy. ” The British people, who had survived the German fire, agreed with Churchill that they were willing to do so if an alliance with the Soviet Union had brought the war to an end earlier On the same day, Saffle condemned German aggression and announced that the United States would come to the aid of the Soviet Union.
For a time, the people began to be opposed by the majority of the people.
Moscow "Comrade Stalin, Germany launched an offensive with at least 3 million men, hundreds of thousands of Romanian, Hungarian, Slovak and Italian troops, and Finland launched an offensive from the north" "Hmph, tell the comrades on the front line that we must actively defend against the evil people from our line of defense" "Yes" Although the Germans mobilized millions of troops, the Soviet Red Army continued to reinforce on a large scale while simultaneously confronting these enemy forces, and the Soviet Red Army on the Western Front numbered about 2.6 million on June 22, 1941.
However, the number of attacking German troops and the close coordination caused heavy losses to the Soviet Red Army.
The Luftwaffe claimed to have destroyed 1,489 Red Army fighters on the first day of aggression, while losing only 35 of its own.
In fact, the losses of the Soviet Air Force in the first few days were even worse than the Germans had estimated, with a total of 3,922 aircraft destroyed in the first three days.
The speed of the German attack completely paralyzed the Soviet Red Army's defense plans, and the severe lack of radio and communications equipment also made it difficult for the Soviet Red Army units to coordinate their operations with each other.
The German offensive also ignited independence movements in many of the Soviet occupying powers, and on June 22, 1941, an anti-Soviet uprising broke out in Lithuania, followed by a declaration of independence the following day.
About 30,000 Lithuanians joined the mutiny.
As the German offensive to the north progressed, the mutiny spread to Estonia.
For a time, no one was optimistic about the USSR.
The situation of the war changed so quickly, in just a few days The Soviet Union suffered one defeat after another and suffered heavy losses The people of the world were stunned, originally, the Soviet Union was also a military power, whether it was the Battle of Nomenkan against Japan or Finland, it ended in victory.
As a result, as soon as Germany made a move, you didn't know how to fight back.
Tokyo, Japan.
Equally shocked were a top brass in Japan.
"I didn't expect that Germany's strength would be so strong."
Emperor Showa sighed with emotion, "In this way, it is inevitable that our Empire of Japan will develop with the help of the Allies." ” "Your Majesty, Germany is now invincible on the European continent, and so is Italy.
Only the empire was in Asia, and its offensive on the battlefield of China was blocked.
Konoe Fumiro nodded, "However, the empire has changed direction now, as long as it takes Southeast Asia, then the empire will still be an empire."
"Konoe-kun is right, what do you think about what Germany wants us to send troops to the Soviet Union?"
"I think that you can take a second look, after all, the treaty we signed with the Soviet Union has only passed for a long time, and now we tear up the treaty, which is not very good-looking, although the treaty was originally used to tear up, and the Soviet Union still has some spare strength to fight against Germany, when will he transfer all the troops in the Far East to fight on the Western Front, when will it be the opportunity for our Great Japanese Empire."
"I see."
Emperor Showa nodded in agreement, two tigers fight, there will be an injury, now, although Germany is aggressive, but in fact, it is difficult to determine who wins and who loses, and it is better for them not to intervene so early.

"Hi" Konoe Fumiro also smiled, on the battlefield in Europe, Germany is so strong, why should they take action in the Japanese Empire:
