Section 493 March of the Chariot of Terror

The partition of Czechoslovakia proceeded smoothly and quickly, and the third German venture was once again successful, and even the most conservative Junker aristocratic officers had to obey the moustache Führer, who seemed to be the illegitimate son of God.

The German occupation of the Sudetenland took place between October 1 and 10; The establishment of the Berlin-based International Commission, composed of representatives of the four Munich countries and nominally Czechoslovakia, decided on 13 October not to hold a referendum in the cession zone only to cover up the bargain, which was always obedient to its demands on Germany.

The German-Czech Protocol of 20 November drew the final border line.

The demarcation of the border line was largely in accordance with the demands of Sitara at Goldesberg, and was based primarily on national considerations, but also strategically facilitated the German remnants of the Czech states at the mercy of Germany.

Bohemia was thus divided for the first time in history, and while Henlein's followers celebrated their reunion with an empire to which they and their ancestors had never belonged, the northern and southern borders of Czechoslovakia were receding inward.

History goes back to 1919-1920, when Czechoslovakia took the territory it had gained.

Immediately after the abandonment of Croatia and its submission, an ultimatum was put forward on 30 September for the surrender of the Cheshin district, a repetition of the Czechoslovak annexation of the Chekhin district in 1920 when Poland was unable to take advantage of it, and Czechoslovakia conceded on 1 October to occupy the territory occupied by Poland between 2 and 12 October, according to Czech estimates, 53.5 per cent Czechs and only 33.5 per cent Poles.

Hungary proposed to Czechoslovakia on 1 October to hold negotiations on border amendments.

The negotiations, which had been held between the Slovaks and the Hungarians from 9 to 13 October, had broken down in Komalno (Komarom) because of the exorbitant demands of the Hungarians.

Hungary had already taken military action on 12 October, fighting several weeks of small-scale irregular warfare in eastern Slovakia and Lucinia, a repeat of the 1919 war between Hungary and Czechoslovakia.

As in 1919, the conflict was not a direct problem between two small States, one of which had the military superiority and the other had the support of the great powers, and it was the latter who emerged victorious.

After further inconclusive direct negotiations, the Czechoslovak and Hungarian governments referred the dispute to arbitration between Germany and Italy, and Ribbentrop and Ziano completed the partition of Czechoslovakia by drawing a new Hungarian-Czechoslovak border at the Belvidre Palace in Vienne on 2 November.

In order to redress the injustice of the past incorporation of 6 per cent of the Magyars into Czechoslovakia, 20 per cent of the Slovak nationalities are now incorporated into Hungary.

In Vienna, as in Munich, there were important absences, the most notable of which were the two Western countries at the Munich Conference, which was contrary to the provisions of the annex to the Munich Agreement, which provided for the settlement of the demands of Poland and Hungary by the four powers.

The exclusion of Britain and France from Eastern Europe was now diplomatically for the first time.

Hungary had asked Poland to join Germany and Italy as arbitrators, while Czechoslovakia had suggested that Romania should also be the arbitrator, if Poland was any.

So the small countries were once again excluded, and Poland was once again one of the small ones.

The question to be resolved by the Vienna Protocol was whether to establish a common border between Poland and Hungary, which, as in 1919, once again meant dealing with Lucinia.

The aim of Hungary and Poland was to restore the former Carpathian borders by Hungary and to make minor amendments in favour of Poland, and they were supported by Italy, and the policy of the Roman bloc and the policy of the Polish bloc went hand in hand.

Poland wanted to draw Romania into the partition of Lucinia, but Romania had misgivings, fearing that the next time Hungary's proposal to revise the peace treaty would be Transylvania's turn, which was the last negative expression of the common interest of the small Entente.

Once again, the strengthening of the alliance of the satellite states was contradictory: for Germany, the common border of Poland and Hungary could strengthen an anti-Red Russian bloc subordinate to German policy, but the main motive of this bloc was perhaps also anti-German, since it blocked Germany's path to the east.

The Vienna Conference exposed the underlying contradictions within the Axis powers, with Italy supporting Hungary and Germany supporting Slovakia, but Germany had a greater say.

The annexation of Slovakia and Lucenia by the Vienna Protocol was more arbitrary than the partition of Bohemia, but it also preserved a part of what remained of Lucinia, just as it was still a part of the remaining Czechoslovakia, as an instrument for Germany to achieve its aims.

At the railway station in Kyakhta, China, thousands of miles away from Europe, a military train is preparing to go, but the strange thing is that it is a group of blonde and blue-eyed foreign officers wearing the uniforms of the Chinese National Defense Forces.

After martial law tonight, the locals are forbidden to enter and leave the station, if there are local Russians, they must be able to find out that these officers are not the foreign legion recruited by the empire among the Russians, although they are obviously Caucasian characteristics, but they are not the same as the local Slavic Tatars, etc., so the security measures from before they board the train are very strict, just to prevent this special force from being exposed, the car has been sending them to the platform, and when they get off the train, they urgently assemble and board the train, and all the windows are sealed with iron sheets, Except for the airtight door cracks, the exhaust fans will provide them with ventilation, and the fluorescent lights will be turned on day and night.

They will sail east to the Chinese Navy's North Sea base in Vladivostok, where they will change container ships, a Chinese merchant fleet of seven container ships and two oil tankers and a general cargo ship will pass through the Bering Sea to the west coast of the United States, then resupply through the Panama Canal into the Atlantic, then through the Strait of Gibraltar into the Mediterranean, and finally arrive at the Italian port of Garibaldi to unload.

Although the road was not calm, few French and British submarines and warships were deployed in the North Atlantic, and most of them were still waiting in the Indian Ocean and the South Atlantic Ocean for the arrival of the legendary 3,000 German ** men and a large number of equipment trained in China.

The four destroyers of the South China Sea Fleet, led by the cruiser Jiangsu, escorted a formation composed of five container ships and three bulk carriers from the Bass Strait out of the Pacific Ocean to bypass Indonesia and enter the Indian Ocean.

The destroyer suddenly seemed to be hit by a large iron hammer, and it bounced three or four meters high from the sea, and when it fell into the sea, it was already a different place, and the sharp-eyed British naval sailors noticed that a faint water mark was disappearing on the starboard side of Odom, and the ships of the Chinese Navy were in front of them on the left.

"Omaiga and so on, it's a torpedo * and there are submarines."

Although the navy of the British Empire is no longer the time to crisscross the seas, the solid basic skills will not become unfamiliar, so the hedgehog bombs depth charges are thrown into the sea without money, and the water columns rise in all directions, forming a forest of water.

"The Chinese slipped away. Damn, these yellow-skinned monkeys are so shameless that they don't dare to fight our ship-to-ship gun-to-gun, what kind of navy is it? ”

A young officer angrily threw his white gloves into the sea, but the other people's eyes made him quite embarrassed.

"What about our submarines? Didn't you say that here our submarines cooperate with us? Damn hi rats. ”

Faced with a messy sea, the officers of the fleet also condemned the absence of submarines for making the British Empire's navy suffer in front of the Chinese.

"Gentlemen, I'm afraid we'll never see them again."

A naval colonel, the commander of the formation, held a telegram, "Just now the Spirit found a piece of oil and some debris on the surface of the sea, judging that it should belong to our submarine Starfish, and it has also lost contact with another submarine Julian, we can only judge that they have been sunk by an unknown navy." ”

"How is this possible, these fleets of the Chinese Navy did not attack at all, they did not fire a single shell, how could it be possible to sink the submarine behind us?"

"Chinese submarines?"

Several of the officers were also of the rank of colonel, and although they did not catch up with the smoke of gunpowder in Jutland, many years of experience at sea were not given in vain.

Immediately realized that the Chinese submarine had the opportunity to quietly launch an attack from under the sea, sink its own submarine, and then quietly turn over and launch a sneak attack on its own destroyer formation.

The colonel was still calmer, and immediately sent a telegram to the Indian Ocean Fleet Command in Mumbai about their encounters and speculations, and the British and French warships throughout the Indian Ocean rushed towards the big magnet of the Chinese escort fleet like pieces of iron, and when the Chinese fleet was discovered again, they had already unloaded at the port of Bukiti in Somalia, and when the British troops in Egypt arrived, they seized the goods that had not yet been transported from the harbor warehouses amid the chatter and protests of the Italian colonial officials.

However, what disappointed them was that most of these were some small-caliber anti-aircraft guns, 75 mountain guns, Qin crossbow rifles, plumbers, submachine guns and other obsolete munitions, that is, more than a dozen Octopuses, which can be regarded as active equipment, but they do not pose a threat at all in terms of quantity.

Amid the daily protests in Italy, the British Army in Egypt had to release the equipment, which was apparently a colony, to go to the Italian colony in Ethiopia.

Naturally, the freighters returned to China with large quantities of supplies, and several destroyers of the Chinese Navy were traded to the German Navy, with the exception of the cruiser Jiangsu and the freighter all the way back, all four destroyers flew the Black Hawk flag and headed north to the German ports.

When the arrogant head of the British wanted to understand the true meaning of the Ming Xiu plank road and the darkness of Chen Cang, 3,000 German Army Air Force officers and more than 400 of the latest Hound improved tanks, hundreds of F190 fighters and 40 Howling Eagle attack planes that made the Germans love to put down became the final result of the Sino-German arms trade. The melody of the March of the Grenadier will be deeply implanted in the minds of the people of many countries.
