Chapter 116

During the Three Kingdoms period, Liu Cong, the head snake of Jingzhou, returned to Cao Cao. was promised to be the history of Jingzhou Thorn, and he was in charge of Jingzhou for generations.

Cao Cao fulfilled his promise and later made Liu Cong the assassin of Jingzhou, but brought him back to Xuchang.

Now, Reinhardt has made the same promise to the Austrian dictator Schuschnigg, and is ready to do the same as Cao Cao during the Three Kingdoms period in ancient China.

For Schuschniger, who has not watched the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he probably couldn't imagine Reinhardt's hand as the eastern command.

Moreover, Reinhardt doesn't even intend to keep scum like Schuschnigg around.

The purpose of Xu Yi's high-ranking officials is to make this incident an "example" for those enemies in the future. Let more people know that surrendering to Germany is also beneficial.

Such a move has a great influence on most people.

In particular, many leaders will reduce their enthusiasm for resistance because of the "benefits" of surrender, and thus surrender more easily.

Yu Gong, rather than resisting to the end of the mountains and rivers and suffering endless revenge, it is better to find an opportunity to end the war with dignity.

Yu Private, as a returnee, life will definitely be more comfortable than that of a failed recalcitrant resistant.

However, these are superficial propaganda. Privately, people like Schuschnigg are secretly sent to "labor camps" for labor reform.

Aren't you not enlightened enough? It's okay, then purify your filthy heart with great physical labor.

As a result, 10 minutes after Schuschnigg made the national declaration, he was politely invited by a squad of SS Einsatzgruppen soldiers to a "labor camp" to undergo a glorious labor reform with more than 300 children of the Child family.

On the other hand, shortly after the German-Austrian merger was announced, a German artillery column was warmly welcomed in the small town of Kufstein on the Austrian border.

Journalists from Britain and France were led in large numbers to Kufstein and "coincidentally" saw the German contingent dragged by horses.

Behind the glamour and glamour of the German troops, the image of the German troops was regarded by Britain, France and other countries as a feature that was even less characteristic of the times.

A British army executive, after seeing a picture of the German horse team, repeatedly said contemptuously in private: "The German Wehrmacht is too far behind the times. While the British Empire had begun to mass-load automobiles, their army was just getting started, relying on large numbers of cattle to maintain its transportation capacity. โ€

However, the general contempt of the British did not elicit the approval of their future ally, the French government.

For the German Army, which openly used the Wehrmacht to support Spain's political allies and deliberately projected its strength and prestige. Observers in France had a hard time believing the British government's argument that Germany was not yet strong.

Compared with the British army, which was called "old soldiers", the French army, which had the name of the first army in Europe, had a better say.

Thirteen years earlier, in the Battle of the Ruhr, in which the French had the upper hand, they had been beaten by the German SS, which had only been a militia at the time.

Today, the Germans have strengthened their image even more with their brilliant victories on the battlefields of Spain.

The self-confidence of the British, the self-confidence of the British Army, is simply the ignorance of the arrogance of the night.

Not to mention the Germany that Reinhardt now calls the Third Reich.

Even the Second German Reich, which was founded by Bismarck, was not an object that the British Army could despise.

At the beginning, a reporter once asked Bismarck at a ball: "What if the British Army landed to cooperate with the invasion of Germany?" โ€

Then, the then Chancellor Bismarck made a famous reply that has survived to this day: "That's easy, just let the German police arrest them." โ€

It is not difficult to see from this story that the British incompetent army has never been looked at by the Germans from beginning to end.

As a result, the British are now full of self-confidence, and they are full of plans to use Germany to balance the power of France, and even use it as a watchdog against the Soviet Union.

The most direct product of this kind of thinking of the British is the "appeasement policy."

The main manifestation of the policy of appeasement was to support the defeated Germany, and at the same time to support Japan in provoking the Soviet Union, so that these two countries acted as a bulwark against the Soviet Union and a thug to suppress the people's revolution.

In fact, this policy was already evident in the Dawes Plan, the Younger Plan, and the Locarno Convention, which lowered the amount of German reparations and abolished economic regulation on Germany.

In fact, Reinhardt didn't play with words and release Newke. Germany will not pay much more World War I reparations after 1932.

In other words, the reason why Reinhardt was able to evade reparations through word games in the first place was essentially to rely on the appeasement policies of European countries, especially Britain and the United States, rather than his talent for exploiting loopholes.

In addition to the Soviet Union, Britain, France, Italy, Belgium, Japan, Portugal, Yugoslavia, Romania, Greece, the United States and other capitalist countries have all participated in this policy of guarding against the Red Soviet Union to a greater or lesser extent.

At the same time, the Soviet Union was trading a large amount of war materials with Germany.

Almost all the great powers of the world were trading with the Germans, and the purpose of the transactions was actually to deal with the other side.

China bought German armourers to deal with the Japanese army, Japan bought Iron Fist rocket launchers to confront the Soviet army, the Soviet Union bought German military technology to confront capitalist countries, and the Spanish Republican Army and the Nationalist Army respectively purchased weapons from Germany in an attempt to destroy each other......

Romania, the United States, the United Kingdom, Venezuela and other countries that do not think it is a big deal to see the excitement are allowing Germany to import a huge base of oil.

What could be happier than a day like this. People all over the world are currying favor with themselves and pulling themselves in. Eat it all at both ends, the left and right are the source, what more can the husband ask for......

Only by sitting in such a position and being in such an environment did Reinhardt understand what happiness the geographical advantage of the "chosen nation" of the United States in history meant.

Germany's present transcendent situation is short-lived and very easy to break. However, the special geographical advantages of the United States are destined for its transcendent status in the next 10 or even 20 years.

However, at least today, when appeasement is in full swing, Germany under Reinhardt is still quite popular.

2 Panzer Divisions led by Guderian took the trail to Vienna. Among them, all the tanks were covered with German flags and bouquets, which were warmly welcomed by the Austrian people.

The long-distance march also exposed the problems of the T3 tank in terms of engines and other aspects, and there were many breakdowns on the road to Vienna.

R&D experts from various departments in Germany also held an emergency meeting to discuss improvement measures.

A week after the German-Austrian merger, the rest of the country, as Reinhardt had expected, reacted mildly to the incident.

The Entente countries of World War I, especially Britain and France, were responsible for upholding the Treaty of Versailles, especially the clause prohibiting the union of Germany and Austria, but they only protested diplomatically and did not take any real action to prevent the union.

Half a month later, in the referendum that Reinhardt asked to preside, 99.7 percent of Austrians were in favor of a German-Austrian merger. Internationally, the desire and joy of the Germans for integration was greatly expressed.

Afterwards, Reinhardt, the German Fรผhrer Reinhardt, who had remained in Austria in order to gain an advantage in public opinion and leave a close influence on the people, sent a telegram to Sickert in Berlin.

The telegram contained only one sentence: "From this day forward, no one will dare to look down on the will of the Germans!" โ€
