Ciric's mouth, still chewing on the last steak, pointed his fork at Schuschnigg as he ate, and said, "You must fulfill these demands we have made of you within three days, or our 1st Panzer Division will march on Austria." Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 info We're coming back from Spain and the lads are screaming and don't think we had a good fight last time. ”

Schuschnigg snapped the bullet and signed it. With his head bowed and in silence, he left the Eagle's Nest and got on his own plane.

"This guy's expression is like he has just been strengthened by us." Ciric said.

Ribbentrop also smiled: "It is an honor for them to be strengthened by us. ”

"yes, it's a pity, they're definitely not going to wash their ass in vain, waiting for us to plug in, and we have to make new preparations." Ciric said.

………

"The Germans, this time they are determined to annex us." Back in Viana and meeting President Miklas, Schuschnigg was quite angry, and in the Eagle's Nest, he was as disgusting as if he had eaten.

The Germans, who wanted to annex Austria, were now finally on the bright side.

"We, Austria, are independent and free, and we must not allow the Germans to succeed!" Looking at the president, Schuschnigg said solemnly.

When he was in the Eagle's Nest, he didn't dare to say anything, because he knew that once he did, the consequences would be serious, and he would probably not be able to get out of the Eagle's Nest.

And now, back in Vienna, back on his own turf, he is back to his energy again.

They can't let their plot succeed!

"So what are we going to do?" Miklas asked.

The current situation is very unfavorable for Austria, the last time the Germans wanted to get their hands on Austria, it was Italy who fully supported it, but now, Italy has worn the same pants as Germany.

Having lost Italy, who else could Austria rely on?

I can only rely on myself!

"I think we can decide the fate of Austria by means of a referendum." "If our citizens agree to join Germany, then we have no choice, and if our citizens do not agree, then the Germans are committing aggression against us in Austria, and we must resist courageously and at the same time enlist the support of the international community, even if it is like Spain!" ”

Like Spain, seek international support! This is the only way for Austria!

Miklas nodded: "It seems that this is the only way we can do it." Three days later, we held a referendum in which the Austrian people decided whether to favour a free, independent, social, Christian and united Austria. ”

………

With German pressure, Austria was already in turmoil, and in the far north, a storm was sweeping violently towards the Soviet army!

Tukhachevsky was demoted, removed from the post of First Deputy People's Commissar of Defense and became the commander of the Volga Military District, this huge blow shocked Tukhachevsky incomparably, it was an insult to him!

However, after a few days, he finally calmed down, and as an old Bolshevik, as a comrade-in-arms who once fought side by side with Lenin, he believed in the party, in the Motherland.

So, he decided to go to the command of the Volga Military District.

Dressed in his uniform and belted, Tukhachevsky looked at himself in the mirror, and as usual, he still had a strong conviction.

left, he pinned his pistol, but he didn't know that the bullet in the pistol had been returned.

He got into a car driven by a driver from the command of the Belarusian Military District and went to the Tots barracks to inspect it.

Sitting in the car, Tukhachevsky's mood was calm, no matter what post he was, he had to be a qualified soldier!

"Crunch." The car stopped. Tukhachevsky looked out the window and saw that he had not reached his destination at all, just an intersection.

Ahead, there was a car that stopped them.

Chief of the Secret Service of the Military Region! He ran over to this side and looked at Tukhachevsky, who opened the window: "Comrade Marshal, the People's Commissariat of Defense has an order to urgently summon you to Moscow, please take our car, so that you can drive this car to the Tots barracks to say hello, saying that you have something to do to go to Moscow and reschedule your inspection." ”

Tukhachevsky didn't think much about it, got out of the car and got into the car in front.

However, as soon as he got into the car, he sensed that something was wrong, and a person came up from the left and right, caught him in the middle, and his pistol was also disarmed.

"Comrade Marshal, you have been arrested for your conspiracy to collude with the Germans, to plot to overthrow the rule of the Soviets, to betray the revolution." The head of the Secret Service said to Tukhachevsky.

Tukhachevsky's face sank suddenly, he finally understood Stalin's intentions, he wanted to kill himself!

On this very day, a large number of military personnel were arrested together, and Yaqil, Primakov and Kolk, who were close to Tukhachevsky, were arrested, and they were thought to be Tukhachevsky's gang plotting to overthrow Soviet rule!

In the face of these charges, Tukhachevsky strenuously denied that if he really had such thoughts, he would have done it a long time ago, and on the day he was demoted, he would have staged a coup d'Γ©tat!

By now, Tukhachevsky, on the contrary, was relieved that the real traitor of the Soviets was none other than Stalin himself! If he wants to rule the entire Soviet Union as a dictatorship, he must suppress all the heroes of Lenin's era!

The five marshals of the Soviets, three of them, were not staunch Stalinists, and the fate of these marshals was probably already sealed.

It's disgusting! Loyalty to the Soviets, too, made it impossible for Tukhachevsky to make any confrontation at all.

"The price I paid for the mistakes I made in my life, for my belief in Soviet power and the Party, and for my loyal service, is my head. I will not ask for forgiveness, because this court can only be based on false documents concocted by third-rate detectives, and no one in their right mind will respect such a court. ”

"You think you are judges, but I tell you that it is you, not us, who have sinned. Sooner or later, you will be avenged by fate for your vile deeds. One day, when you sit in this defendant's seat, or when you stand by the wall where tomorrow I will stand, you people will remember my ......"

Tukhachevsky, shot.

This is just the beginning!

Stalin quickly convened a meeting of the political cadres of the Red Army and called for the eradication of the "enemy of the people" in the Red Army.

Immediately after, the People's Commissar of Defense Voroshilov and the NKVD Yezhov issued orders that there was a network of spies in the Red Army. Anyone who has some connection with the spy must give an account; Anyone who knows or suspects that someone else is espionage, report it!
