In the blink of an eye, it was early 1937. East Africa's initiatives in politics, economics, diplomacy, military affairs, and every other field were all progressing steadily under the East African government.

Under Yosef's government, the Soviet Union had efficiently and steadily completed its various industrial development plans. Compared with ten years earlier, the Soviet Union had thoroughly become an industrial nation in name and in fact.

Although the Soviet Union still had many shortcomings compared with the other great powers, the gap had narrowed to a visibly discernible degree.

At the same time, because of the German threat, the Soviet Union's political and social atmosphere in this timeline was far more relaxed than in its previous life. This change became even more pronounced after Germany annexed the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

With Germany, that starving tiger, crouching at its side, the Soviet Union first had to consider the question of survival. Yosef therefore had no choice but to set aside some of his prejudices and show greater tolerance internally.

This difference in outward behavior was hardly strange. In the previous life, after World War I, Germany had been miserable beyond measure. For the sake of its own development, it had not hesitated to cooperate with the Soviet Union. Before World War II, calling the relationship between the two countries a "honeymoon period" would not have been an exaggeration.

In this timeline, Germany had been the Soviet Union's most direct external threat ever since the end of World War I. The two countries had even fought a war directly in the 1920s.

With Germany's whip driving them onward, the Slavs had undoubtedly gained a clearer understanding of their place in the world. This included the Soviet Union's active improvement of relations with countries such as East Africa and the United States.
