18 Apr 1941: We have plenty of Fuel....
....and our Logistics Fulfillment is much better than in recent days.
The Soviets have more divisions than we have but otherwise our forces are superior to theirs.
19 Apr 1941: The Justification to take Minsk has been completed....
....and I declare war. Finland joins us. 
Our forces in Hellas are returning home. They did a grand job.
So we have joined the Soviet-Japanese War. Nice to know.
All our Axis allies have joined.
Our Barbarossa is starting 2 months earlier than in the real world because I wouldn't let myself get distracted.
