"So Sitara's target is the Czechs?" It's the same as the problem of the man with glasses, but the problem of Admiral Zhang Jianyuan is not something that others can ignore.

The fastest updated novel" Yes, I'm afraid so. ”

A radiant expression can show his respect in a measured manner, perhaps only Dai Yurong's face can show such a wonderful expression.

"The lower officials are concerned that Sitara is becoming less and less in line with our deployments, and that after the German military industry has returned to its pre-war level, they seem to be gradually losing interest in our technology, and we think that Germany's form may have begun to drift away from control."

"Director Dai, this matter was originally planned by us, so don't worry too much about whether it is under your control. Supporting Germany's revival was in the hope that it would become a source of unrest in Europe, but if Sitara is a good baby, do we still need to spend energy supporting him? ”

Although General Zhang Jianyuan is a new general, he is already a senior member he needs to look up to compared to Dai Yurong, director of the Military Intelligence Department of the Ministry of Homeland Security, who is only a brigadier general.

"Xia Guan understands that we must let our people keep a low profile, try to develop a latent organization, and focus on intelligence gathering. For our national defense forces to grasp the first-hand German affairs report. ”

Dai Yurong understands it at a glance, he is actually under dual leadership, and belongs to the Department of Homeland Security in terms of establishment, but unlike other plainclothes colleagues, the personnel of their Military Intelligence Department are all active military personnel, and he is still a brigadier general, and Zhang Jianyuan, the chief of the General Staff who has been in office for half a year, is theoretically also his top boss, but in fact, he is more under the jurisdiction of Lieutenant General Zhu Yunjie, the first deputy chief of the General Staff.

This time, I can show my face in front of General Staff Zhang, so I naturally have to figure out the mentality of my boss.

"Well, then it's hard work for Brother Kasa."

Although Dai Yurong, who has always been a bit flattering and bullying, is not eye-catching, Zhang Jianyuan has long learned from the teacher how to control the villain and the commander of the gentleman, and sure enough, the monk brother made Dai Yurong's face bloodshot, and he responded incoherently to the duties of the subordinate officials.

"By the way, Brother Monk, that stinger is ready."

"Oh, this, Senza, forgive my subordinates for being disrespectful, this matter really can't..."

Dai Yurong's smile suddenly stiffened, although his words were not clear, but the meaning of refusing to reveal it was already obvious.

"Hehe, I'm sorry, Brother Li, I lost my words. Don't mention it, ah, don't mention it. ”

Zhang Jianyuan patted his head and seemed to remember, this belongs to the Tianzi number special secret, even if he is the second-in-command of the army, he can't overstep his authority, and he is still satisfied with Dai Yurong's principle, although his character is not good, but this professional ethics is still worthy of praise, and I don't know how Minister He Minhan He found such a real villain as one of his mantle heirs.

The two of them responded to the story for a while, and it happened that Zhang Jianyuan had a meeting to be held, and Dai Yurong withdrew with interest.

Before getting into his military vehicle outside the General Staff Gate, Dai Yurong took out a handkerchief and wiped the cold sweat on his body twice, he was already sweating through his underwear, and he was afraid that he would be dealt with by the Department of Homeland Security because of the leak of secrets.

"General Staff Zhang, it's really not easy to get along."

Since the formation of the Rome-Berlin axis last year, a German-Austrian merger has become virtually inevitable.

It is also possible for a small State that acts as a buffer between two hostile Powers to maintain its independence, as it also favors the weaker Great.

But if the two powers enter into an agreement, the buffer state is likely to be divided.

This was the case with the German conquest of Austria on March 11-12 last year.

The German-Austrian merger is a carve-up in disguise; Although the most obvious phenomenon was the annexation of the Republic of Austria to the Third Reich, it also led Germany to recognize the borders of Brenner and to give up part of the Austrian nation to Italy, the inhabitants of South Tyrol who had been annexed by Italy in 1919, where they had disappeared and were persecuted.

When the GDR triumphantly hoisted their anti-swastika flag on a red background in Vienna, Namière wrote that the whole of central and southeastern Europe, from the mountains of Bohemia and the Carpathians all the way to the Greek and Black Sea straits in the Adriatic, would be ablaze and that the political balance in Europe would be disrupted.

The effect of the German-Austrian merger on the upset of the balance of power was like the French invasion of Italy in 1796, in which the conquest of small states by the expanding powers was gradually accumulated, and the conquest of one was easier and more certain for the next, and so on until the vacuum between the great powers was filled, and within eighteen months the Red Russia had signed its Camp of Formio.

After annexing Austria, Germany made itself down the Danube and had common borders with Hungary and Yugoslavia.

Four-fifths of the borders of the Czech provinces have been surrounded.

Thus, the union with Austria would not only achieve a long-standing national goal, but would certainly improve Germany's strategic position since before the First World War, and thus help to strengthen our military power.

Until now, the territory of Czechoslovakia was inserted into the territory of Germany, posing a great threat, and now Czechoslovakia itself was pinched.

Its own strategic position has now become so unfavorable that it is bound to fall victim to a powerful offensive before it can receive effective assistance from the West.

Sitara had not always intended to conquer Austria and then Czechoslovakia, and five months earlier he had claimed that it was necessary to conquer both countries at the same time; On 21 April, five weeks after the fall of Vienna, when the wave of suicides in the conquered capital had not yet subsided and the reign of terror had begun to become the norm, the Mustachioed Führer began to think in detail about an attack on Czechoslovakia.

Three days later, the leader of the Czech Germanic Workers' Party, Henlein, raised the banner of rebellion in Czechoslovakia, and he delivered a speech in Karlovy Vary, this time with no reservations, as in the speech at Heb in 1936, in which he demanded the administrative autonomy and legal dignity of the German national bloc, supported by the full prestige of the victorious German Reich, and demanded that they have the right to "declare their acceptance of German citizenship and German political philosophy"

, that is, the establishment of a totalitarian regime of the Workers' Party in the German-German regions to dismember this democratic republic.

He also demanded "a revision of the foreign policy of Czechoslovakia, which had led the country to the ranks of the enemies of the German nation"

。

Late at night on May 20, Benes ordered a partial mobilization in view of reports of the build-up of the German team.

This angered Sitara and prompted him to carry out his plan ahead of schedule, writing on 30 May: "The destruction of Czechoslovakia by military action in the near future is my unaltering decision"

。

While Sitara and his generals were plotting their next steps, a general in the uniform of a Wehrmacht lieutenant general was inconspicuous in the crowd, his grey eyes full of melancholy, in fact he now knew the authoritarian mustachioed Führer of the Democratic Workers' Party very well, he was a complete gambler, but what he wanted to put on the table was the fate of Germany.

But compared to his weak, vain fellow officers and so-called orthodox officers, Admiral Baker had another reliable backer in his heart, and that was William of the Navy, whom he never thought of. Franz. Admiral Canaris's support and help, although he still has not met with Admiral Canaris, who has a close relationship with the DPK, has received all kinds of information provided by him through secret channels, among which the most helpful to General Baker is the DPR's monitoring and analysis report on the non-DPK faction members in the Wehrmacht, which is equivalent to putting the tested comrades in front of Baker clearly, so that he can so smoothly assemble a group of middle and high-level officers who secretly resist the DPK.

As a traditional Prussian officer, General Beck was not initially opposed to the DPK's efforts to revive Germany, but although Beck continued to speak out against and criticize Sitara's war policy and Brauchitsch's weakness, his views were ignored.

After the annexation of Austria and the Sudetenland in the Czech Republic, Beck finally had enough of it, and in the summer of the fifteenth year of the first century, he tried to organize all the senior generals of the army to resist Sitara's war policy, and even threatened to resign.

On July 26, the fifteenth year of the Lunar New Year, as he prepared for a meeting with Brauchitsch, he wrote: "History will punish bloody leaders who do not act according to the principles of political wisdom and honesty. There is a limit to their obedience, and their honesty and sense of responsibility will prevent the execution of orders. If their warning is not accepted, then they have the right to resign. If none of them compromised, then it would be impossible to carry out the policy of war. They will save their country as a result. If a high-ranking soldier simply carries out his orders and ignores the responsibility of the whole country, then he does not understand the meaning of the mission. ”

Although we do not consider his anti-war words and actions to be purely morally motivated, General Baker's sense of national and national responsibility is still respectable, and in this respect he is at least better than Brauchitsch and his ilk, who shout obedience, although he himself is not aware that Canaris's support is not merely "like-minded", as he thinks

。

On August 4, at Beck's urging, Brauchitsch convened a secret meeting of senior army generals in Berlin.

At the meeting, Baker read out a very strongly worded anti-war speech, but, alas, at the meeting, the generals did not decide on any concrete action.

"They don't have the courage to pull Sitara back from the precipice like their ancestors did in front of Emperor Hohenzollern and the Imperial Chancellor."

This conspiracy was the last open revolt of the German Army against Sitara's war policy, and the one most likely to succeed.

However, it is a great pity that due to the "mediocrity and incompetence of the high-ranking officers of Germany, not a single one of them was filled with "holy passions", and there was a lack of outstanding figures. Moreover, many of them are vain, seeking fame and pleasure, and are overly fond of the medals that come with promotion, and use war as a means of taking advantage of them."

, this time the revolt failed.

On August 10, he summoned the chiefs of staff of the various army groups and the commanders of the four fleets of the Navy to a meeting in Berghof to inform them of the feasibility of war against the Czech Republic and to convey to his generals "the determination to solve the Czech question by force"

。

It is clear that the cowardice of the generals and the toughness of Sitara have already doomed the future of Germany.

By the time Sitara attended the parade in Fort Terburg five days later, "not a single officer had the courage to say - or was allowed to say a word of objection again." ”

At this point, Baker was completely disheartened, and on August 18, he officially submitted his resignation.

Three days later, Sitara approved his resignation.

However, in order to avoid exposing the divisions within the German army, the news of Beck's resignation was not made public until more than two months later.

Baker was even more disappointed that none of the generals who agreed with and supported his anti-war stance felt compelled to follow his example and resign.

Brauchitsch's cousin, in particular, made him extremely angry.

Years later, Baker would tremble with excitement at the mention of his boss, muttering to himself, "Brauchitsch dumped me in a pinch." Germany returned to the track he was supposed to follow, and it was not the glorious Wehrmacht that saved him. ”
