Operation Barbarossa in this timeline was fundamentally different from the Führer's Operation Barbarossa in another timeline. Germany in this timeline was far stronger, while Buru was much weaker. At the same time, through its integration of Europe, Germany had almost twisted the strength of the entire continent into a single rope. Under such circumstances, once the German military attacked Buru, it would commit even greater forces. Buru would face enormous difficulty in holding back the German offensive.
Oscar's only concern was undoubtedly Buru's dreadful weather and transportation. Although winters were cold across most of Europe, Buru was even colder.

Although Buru's western regions had built a comprehensive transport network with German assistance, transportation in Buru's interior was still terrible. It was not that Buru lacked the funds to build such a network; it simply did not wish to do so. It did not want the German military to
