Section 480 The source of the German-Austrian merger

Objectively speaking, if Germany realizes its plan to annex Austria, its strength will inevitably increase greatly, and this will pose a huge threat to France's security. However, in the face of Germany, which is becoming more and more prominent, the French have become cowardly and abnormal. In the 30s, the struggle between the left and right factions in France was extremely fierce, the political situation was unstable, the cabinet changed frequently, and there were several terms that lasted only one month, so it was no longer able to adopt a tough policy towards Germany, and had no choice but to embark on the road of appeasement. On November 8, the 11th year of the Taichu Dynasty, French Finance Minister Bonet (later changed to Foreign Minister) told the German ambassador to Austria Papen passing through Paris: France has no objection to the establishment of closer economic and cultural ties between the two countries after the signing of the German-Austrian agreement last July, and agrees that the German minority in Czechoslovakia should enjoy broad autonomy. Later, French Chancellor Chaudang met with Papen and said that he himself "had no objection to the obvious expansion of Germany's influence in Austria by means of evolution."

"It seems that this will be a feast for the Germans, and neither Austria nor the Czech Republic will escape the fate of being annexed, and the big fish will eat the small fish, even the slightly thinner big fish, which is the true meaning of imperialist democracy." The Red Russian TASS news agency commented on the situation in Europe in this way, and it has to be said that this time the Georgian bearded uncle was not wrong.

Britain has been seeking a comprehensive solution to the conflict with Germany, but this general solution is not to go to the port of Kiel to give away thousands of tons of steel, as the main fleet did twenty years ago, but to sell the interests of other countries in exchange for the first bite of the German beast after awakening on the chest of the polar bear. In the "general settlement" of the British, Austria, Czechoslovakia, Poland were all bargaining chips. On 19 November 11, shortly after the statement of the French Minister of Finance, the British Privy Counsellor Halifax met with Sitara Mustache at Berchtesgaden and made it clear that "the error of the mandatory treaty of Versailles must be corrected", that the question of a change in the European order, namely Danzig, Austria and Czechoslovakia, would sooner or later take place, and that Britain was only concerned that "these changes must be brought about by peaceful evolution". Sitara got to the bottom of Britain and France, and knew that they would not interfere with Germany's annexation of Austria, so he let it go and did it boldly.

However, the problem in front of Germany is that the domestic military production has been abandoned for a long time, and although the remaining factories can also be converted to munitions, it is unlikely that the task of arming the German army of 1 million will be completed within two years. In order not to let the Germanic warriors march to Vienne with arquebuses to perform a costumed parade, Sitara had no choice but to buy arms, but no one in Europe had any surplus arms after a long time, and in the big sale after the end of World War I, the arms were basically reduced and sold with tears, and the rest were only qualified to enter the smelting furnace after wind and rain. There are only three and a half countries in the world that can provide hundreds of thousands of arms: the United States, China, Red Russia, and Japan. Although the United States only has an army of 100,000 that is not much stronger than the internal security forces, every old American family regards guns as daily necessities, and the huge market has created a huge production capacity of American workers, if Germany can afford to produce green tickets, there is no problem with army weapons and the like, even if it is a battleship or the like, it is not negotiable, of course, taking care of the face of the Anglo-Saxon cousin may have to be hung in the name of the navy of Argentina and Peru.

Red Russia is another choice, Georgian bearded classmates are obsessed with heavy industry, starving half of the Ukrainian farmers, in exchange for Russia's second industrialization, although the lack of taking advantage of the economic crisis to exchange for bargains in the United States, but carrying grain and minerals in Europe to sweep the wool is not nothing, and finally can barely squeeze into the last train of industrialized countries, and as the top priority of the military industry, naturally not bad, long-term supply of more than two million Red Russian troops, The surplus arms can also be equipped with no less than 500,000, if the Hans are willing to exchange some technical and engineering technicians, they may be able to let the German Army carry water beads and drag DP all over the street, but obviously Sitara will not do this.

Japan is also a pseudo-big family, squeezing out 200,000 copies of the 38 big cover and 01 infantry guns, but the quality of Japanese goods should not be extravagant. Let the Hans use the extremely ugly crooked handle to provide fire support, and at the same time clumsily inject oil into the bolt, or let a big man of 1.9 meters support the 30-centimeter iron pipe grenadier on the ground to shoot, can it be accurate and don't ask, just this kind of fat dog bear swallowing melon seeds The picture is too emotional, if the German generals who have always paid attention to the image are carried to the meeting with a Wang Ba box and a samurai * knife on the other, I don't know if it will be too disobedient? Not to mention equipping soldiers with southern pistols, which may not even be able to kill themselves at that time, perhaps the German soldiers are not as reliable as a glorious bullet tied to the neck of a person, and even the sapper shovels exported by China twenty years ago give Hans a greater sense of security than southern pistols. If you want to arm the million-dollar German team, the Japanese national mobilization will have to work hard for a year or two to complete, and during this period, the red deer of the Japanese army can only stand guard with bamboo guns.

Therefore, the world's largest arms manufacturer, China's military industrial system has assumed the heavy responsibility of arming the German army, and the intimate Chinese ** arms dealer did not fool Hans with the old 7.6 caliber goods, but deliberately changed the new caliber production. From the 155 mm divisional artillery to the improved civilian "**" brand revolver that only costs 150 yuan and comes with 200 rounds of ammunition, from the latest F4 fighter to the Morning Glory self-propelled gun, from the improved M08 steel helmet to the external military carrying vest. Chinese goods quickly occupied the German barracks, so that the generals love and hate, the first fire is really easy to make, light weight, fierce firepower, low failure rate, and easy to pass, but also has a fatal shortcoming, the young Hans, who are used to Chinese guns, picked up the German-made Mauser and Klüber and actually found themselves a little disgusted with domestic products. The same Mauser 98 rifle, China's Qin crossbow rifle shoots 12,000 rounds before the barrel needs to be replaced, and the Mauser can resist 8,000 rounds is good, although few riflemen can fire tens of thousands of rounds in a war. In any case, the rearmament of German tanks was quickly completed under the sour eyes of Britain and the United States, and by the beginning of the first 12 years, the Wehrmacht had reached a staggering figure of 1.06 million.

Under German compulsion, Schuschnigg held talks with Sitara in Berchtesgaden on February 12, 12 years of the 12th century. In the morning, Sitara and Schuschnigg met separately for two hours, and Sitara condemned and threatened Schuschnigg in an extremely rude manner, and even insulted Schuschnigg as a "traitor to the Austrian government." After lunch, German Foreign Minister Ribbentrop handed over a typewriter-typed draft of the German-Austrian Protocol to Schuschnigg, saying that the request was final and should not be discussed. Sitara then summoned Schuschnigg again and said: "You must fulfill these demands I have made of you within three days, or else I will give the order for a march to Austria." Under duress, Schuschnigg signed. The German-Austrian Protocol stipulates that the Austrian Government shall at any time exchange views with Germany on foreign policy questions of common interest to the two countries and support it morally, diplomatically and in publications for Germany's wishes and actions; appointment of Seth Inquart as Austrian Minister of Security; lifting of the ban on the activities of the Austrian Democratic Socialist Party; amnesty for a Qiē Austrian Socialist Party who had been punished by the courts and the police; systematically exchange officers 100 people; The general staffs of the two countries hold regular meetings, and so on. In the application of the requirements of the Protocol, Austria would effectively lose its independence.

After returning home on the 13th, Schuschnigg immediately met with President Miklas. In order to force Austria to give a clear and binding reply within three days, Sitara ordered the Germans to conduct a mock military operation on the German-Austrian border. At a critical juncture of the country's life and death, when foreign aid from Italy, France, and Britain could no longer be counted, Schuschnigg intended to use a referendum to decide the future of the country. On 9 March, he announced that a referendum would be held on 13 March, and it would be up to the Austrian people to decide whether or not to favour a free, independent, social, Christian and united Austria.

Sitara was furious when she heard the news. On 11 March, he issued the first directive of the military action plan codenamed "Otto", ordering that the German army and air force must be ready for an invasion on 12 March 12, the 12th year of the first century, no later than 12 o'clock. On the 11th, Göring made constant telephone calls throughout the day, instructing Seiss-Inquart and officials of the German embassy in Austria to demand Schuschnigg's immediate resignation and the Austrian president to immediately appoint Seiss-Inquart to organize a new cabinet. Otherwise, the German troops stationed on the German-Austrian border would have moved in on the evening of the 11th. On the night of March 11, Miklas finally gave in and appointed Seth Inquart to form a cabinet. In the early hours of 12 March, German troops marched into Austria, and on 13 March, Sitara and Seth-Inquart signed the Act on the Reunification of Austria and Germany, and independent Austria perished.

On March 14, the 12th year of the Lunar New Year, today was a day of unprecedented glory for Sitara. The German leader was a penniless artist when he left Austria in his early years, and today, when he returns to Vienna to announce the "German-Austrian merger", he is warmly welcomed by thousands of people.

For most of the road, Sitara stood in an open-top car, dressed in a brown commando uniform, waving almost hysterically to his rabid supporters. Many of his supporters waved flags embellished with the Workers' Party logo. Some members of the National Society sewed this symbol onto the Austrian flag.

"How we feel at this moment", Sitara declared in Vienna, "is also a feeling shared by all other Germans." No matter what happens, the unified German Reich that we claim today will never again be divided by anyone, and will never be divided. ”

Sitara had signed a decree that he would be the commander-in-chief of the German and Austrian armies, and all Austrian soldiers were required to swear allegiance to the fanatical dictator, the Führer who led more than 70 million men. As Sitara triumphantly continued his parade in his convertible, two Chinese were repairing their loudspeakers on the tower of the mosque in the distance to make it time for the 7 o'clock service. However, instead of holding pliers and wrenches to load and unload the components, they took out the parts that looked like pipes from the toolbox and assembled them neatly, and soon a 12.7 mm sniper rifle appeared on the tower.

"He's going to turn to Avenue Britta and this section is the same as our baseline, so ask for instructions." The lanky Chinese engineer slipped the reticle through the scope over Sitara's back, and without headshots, the 12.7mm bullet was enough to cut the target in the torso.

"The head wolf came out of his den and asked to be hunted. Repeated, the head wolf came out of the den and asked to hunt. "Observe the throat of the hand, the microphone is clearly transmitting the request. After a moment of silence, I finally waited for a reply amid the noise of static interference.

"Kite, repeat, kite."

"Understood, reel." The two of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and then quickly packed up the sniper rifle, carefully inserted the safety pin back into the safety of the glorious bullet, and then five minutes later, under the farewell of the sleepy imam, the two left the mosque in a tool cart with a smile, and the world paused here and continued to run towards its own path.

Sitara's victory was Schuschnig's defeat. Since five years ago, the Austrian chancellor has tried to prevent the Austrian National Socialists from coming to power, but in the first 11 years his umbrella Benito?? Mussolini and Sitara united, and Schuschnig's rule began to falter. Austria became the German province of Orient with Seis-Inquart as governor. The German-Austrian merger expanded Germany's territory by 17 percent, increased its population by 10 percent, and greatly increased its military strength, opening the way for the next step in the invasion of Czechoslovakia and the invasion of Poland. The last line of insurance in World War II has been lifted, and the fuse has been smoking.
