Chapter 117: The Beginning
Six months later, Czechoslovakia, Karlovy Vary.
Karlovy Vary is a quiet and peaceful town with a population of only 60,000.
However, this quiet town is rarely lively at the moment.
Because at this moment thousands of citizens gathered on the street in front of the city hall, and their faces were full of anger, looking at the Czech soldiers in front of the city hall like enemies.
A month ago, at the request of Lyon, the League of Nations united with the local governments of the Sudetenland region and held referendums on the admission of the Sudetenland to Germany in important cities such as Pilsen, Bor, and Strakonice.
The results of the final referendum showed that 91% of the people in the whole of Sudetenland were willing to return to the bosom of their "motherland".
However, just when the Sudetenland people were full of joy and thought that they could finally join the economically powerful Germany and finally be able to eat bread and drink milk, the Czech government suddenly declared that the referendum was illegal, and that the Sudetenland still belonged to Czechoslovakia, and a large number of Czech government troops were transferred from other directions to take over the power of the local government, declare a state of emergency in Czechoslovakia, and begin to enforce military control over the entire Sudetenland.
How could the Sudeten people promise that the bread and milk that were close at hand would once again leave them? They rallied and began to hold demonstrations in various cities.
"We asked the Czech vampire to give us an explanation!" One of the marching citizens waved his hands and shouted at the Czech soldiers, "Why overturn the sacred decision of the people?" Is it because of your selfishness? ”
"That's right! You have no right to decide the future of the Sudetenland! The other citizens chimed in, "The future of the Sudetenland can only be decided by the Sudeten people themselves!" ”
"Get out of Germany!" Another, even more extreme citizen, angrily scolded, "Czechoslovak vampires are not welcome in Germany!" Sudeten power belongs to the German people! ”
In the face of the black, angry people, the soldiers of the Czech government army were clearly at a loss.
"Sir, sir." A Czech soldier nervously held the rifle in his hand, and asked his commander with trembling lips, "I, what should we do?" This group is crazy......"
"Soldiers! Hold your rifle in your hand! The officer looked calm, "We just need to stay here and don't let them enter the city hall!" They are all civilians, unarmed, and as long as we restrain them, I am sure they will not be ...... violently."
Before the officer could finish the word "riot", a gunshot overshadowed the shouting of the citizens, and suddenly echoed in the air.
The marching crowd stared blankly at the citizen who was shot in the head at the front, and the originally noisy scene was silent for a while.
"Who fired the shot?!" The officer roared.
However, before the soldiers had time to answer the officers, the crowd on the opposite side became agitated again, and this time it was probably not as simple as shouting slogans.
"Czech vampires have killed people!" First, a woman shouted in panic.
"Let's rush!" The second voice was a male voice, "Avenge our dead compatriots!" Drive the Czech vampires out of Germany! ”
The third voice was indistinguishable, because the scene was already full of people like "Rush! "For the food! For our children! Something like that.
The people of the Sudetenland were mostly Germanic peoples, and they were different from the Europa, the main ethnic group that made up Czechoslovakia, who were known for their stoic silence, while the former, along with the Slavs and Celts, were called the three barbarian tribes of Europe by the Romans.
Therefore, in terms of blood alone, the Germanic people will not be bullied in vain.
"Sir! They rushed up! The soldiers were about to cry, "What are we going to do now?" Why don't we run? ”
In fact, I don't blame the soldiers for cowardly, it's really too scary.
Imagine thousands of people rushing towards you, clearly intent on killing you, and most importantly, just over 100 on your side......
"Again, hold the gun in your hand!" The officer's face was pale and visibly frightened, but he still had the courage of a soldier.
"Dear Tiana, it looks like we're going to have to say goodbye forever......" The officer smiled wryly and touched the pendant hanging from his chest, which contained a picture of his wife, "Feel free to fire!" ”
Following the officer's order, the soldiers pulled the trigger in their hands one after another, and bullets rained down on the crowd.
The men at the front of the whole charge were facing the bullets, and soon fell like wheat harvesting, and could no longer make a sound, but behind them there were people a hundred times larger than themselves roaring on their behalf, trampling on their corpses.
The short distance of a few tens of meters could not have allowed the old bolt-action rifles in the hands of the Czech soldiers to fire a few rounds, and soon the people's army rushed in front of the soldiers.
"Get on the bayonet!" The officer, drawing his bayonet, shouted with red eyes, "For Czechoslovakia!" ”
The soldiers stopped firing, but they loaded their guns with bayonets and instead dropped their guns and held them in one hand.
Because their opponents are not armed enemy soldiers, but unarmed civilians, loading bayonets on their guns will make them less effective at killing.
"For the sake of Greater Germany! For the bread! A similar shout came from the people's army.
But many more shouted: "For the Führer!" ”
The two sides finally came into contact, and the soldiers ended the lives of the people with bayonets efficiently, and the people also made the soldiers realize the power of the people with their fists.
But the disparity in strength between the two sides was so great that more than 100 soldiers were soon killed.
"We won!" With the last Czech soldier eliminated, the People's Army shouted victorious.
Just then, there was a harsh sound of metal grinding outside.
"Everyone! Stand still and stop resisting! "Czech armored units quickly arrived at the city government from the barracks.
Looking at those steel monsters, the citizens were stunned, they had beaten people made of meat, but they definitely couldn't beat tanks made of iron.
"Run!" With a shout from someone who didn't know, everyone reacted and scattered,
While the citizens were busy fleeing for their lives, and the Czech armored soldiers were busy arresting people, two men in civilian clothes put away their guns in a building next to the city hall building.
"Mission accomplished, Webb, let's get out." One of them said to the people around him as he disassembled the G41 semi-automatic rifle with a six-fold optical scope in his hand and put it in his backpack.
"Boss Koch, you're hitting it right!" Webber put away the binoculars in his hand and smiled as he sorted out his gear.
"Don't hurt me, there are so many people, you can shoot any shot." Koch laughed, then picked up his backpack, "But to be honest, if the Führer had given me the order to snipe the King of England from 600 meters away, I think I could have done it." ”
"Haha, boss, don't be kidding." Koch laughed.
"Okay, don't talk about it, let's run quickly, wait for the Czech army to blockade the whole city, we won't be able to get out." Koch tapped Webb on the shoulder, and the two went downstairs with their bags on their backs and disappeared into the crowd.
