Chapter 240: The Eagle's Nest Meeting
Before Hitler's revolution was unsuccessful, he used to travel around, and while he was on the Obersalzburg Mountains near Berchtesgaden, he completed the second volume of Mein Kampf, and was fascinated by the mountain and lake scenery of Berchtesgaden. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Ten years later, when Hitler took power in Germany, he remembered it again and was very infatuated, so Hitler decided to use it as his summer retreat, and first built a simple summer cottage here, which of course made Hitler feel unpleasant.
As a result, Hitler himself underwent a design to transform it into a large official residence, and this year it became the second government residence after Berlin.
All this, Ciric did not catch up, he was here for the first time, of course, this was his first time in this era. He had been here before he crossed over, and he was nostalgic for the scenery here.
The eagle, with its majestic body and fierce temperament, is the residence of the fiercest man of this era!
Austria's Chancellor Schuschnigg landed in a small airport at the bottom of the valley on a special plane, and when he stepped off the plane, his mood was extremely heavy.
Kurt Schuschnigg is also a good hand at conspiratorship, having succeeded in kicking former Deputy Chancellor Prince Ernest von Starhamberg out of his leadership position in the Fatherland Front party last year.
Schuschnigg became the leader of the only legal political party in Austria, the Fatherland Front, and became the chancellor of Austria. He controlled all of Austria's military forces, including the militia, which had been commanded by Prince Starhamberg.
However, he didn't feel how calm he was, and the current Austria was a mess.
Austria's economy is in a mess, when the economic crisis broke out a few years ago, Germany quickly survived, and now in Germany, ordinary workers go abroad for vacations, but what about Austria? There are even families who can't even eat enough bread!
In addition to economic problems, he felt overwhelmed by the aggressive pressure of Germany on the side.
A few years ago, Austria still had the backing of Italy, and once Germany wanted to invade Austria, but Italy quickly sent a few divisions and placed them on the national border, and Germany immediately retreated.
However, this Spanish Civil War brought Germany and Italy together! Italy, already unwilling to support Austria!
Just last year, under German pressure, Schüschnigg was forced to sign a secret agreement with the German minister to Austria, von Pappen, and a communiqué for public publication.
On the face of it, the German government recognized the full sovereignty of the Austrian Confederation and did not interfere in each other's internal affairs, including the question of Austrian national socialism; Austria recognizes itself as a German state.
However, the secret agreement stipulated that Austria must submit to Germany's foreign policy, and that Austria would grant amnesty to political prisoners of the Austrian Workers' Party; The national opposition in Austria was appointed to share the government.
At that time, the humiliating agreement was signed by Schuschnitge, but now it seems that the appetite of the Germans was much more than control of Austria's foreign and internal affairs, and Hitler wanted to completely integrate Austria into German territory!
Now, under the coercion of the Germans, he had to come here to meet Hitler, and he felt as if he were a good family, forced by the old bustard to sacrifice himself for the first time, and every step he took felt like an injury to his mind and body.
"Welcome, Mr. Prime Minister." Just then, a voice came to my ear.
It was the Germans who came to greet him, and originally, Schuschnigg thought it was German Foreign Minister Ribbentrop, which was a formal reception etiquette, but this voice had never been heard.
He looked up, and what greeted him was a general, who now carried the rank of lieutenant general on his shoulders, but looked very young.
Why does this person look so familiar, and where does it seem to have been seen?
Schuschnigg stretched out his hand and shook hands with the other party, still wondering in his mind, at this moment, the other party had already introduced himself: "I'm Ciric, just returned from Spain." ”
In an instant, Schuschnigg's hand trembled, but fortunately the two of them finished shaking hands, he withdrew his hand back, and at the same time, he used a flat tone to hide the horror in his heart.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, General Ciric, and you are the best of the younger generation in Germany."
After Ciric came back, his military rank was promoted by one level and he became a lieutenant general, originally, Ciric came to greet Schuschnigg, just a temporary idea, but now, in Schuschnig's eyes, it is not like this.
Did you come here to put pressure on yourself? It's over, is Austria still saved this time?
In the Spanish battlefield, the beautiful battle of the Condor Army was earth-shattering, when they fought from Madrid to Barcelona in just one week, the record amazed everyone!
This battle was fought by the Condor Legion, and the specific number can also be found, that is, the 1st Panzer Division of the Waffen-SS, the most elite of the Germans!
This army is obedient to Hitler, and its combat effectiveness is even more terrifying, and the commander of this army is Ciric!
Now, Ciric actually came to greet him, and he made a special trip!
"Let's go, let's go in, the Führer is already waiting." Ciric said.
Following Cirek, Schuschnigg walked down the trail at the foot of the mountain, which did not lead directly to the villa.
Along the way, all of them were honor guards of nearly two meters in size, wearing the most handsome military uniforms, standing upright.
Then, I entered the elevator, and the elevator was inside the mountain rock, and it ran for a long time, and finally, it arrived!
It was a large glass room, from which the beautiful view of the Alps could be seen, and at this time, at the main seat of the round table in the middle, Hitler was smiling.
"Chancellor Schuschnigg, it's a pleasure to meet you." Hitler said.
Glad? I'm not happy! Schuschnigg thought secretly in his heart, and reluctantly squeezed out a smile on his face: "Great Führer, it is a pleasure to meet you, I remember, last year we already issued a communiqué on mutual non-interference in internal affairs. Moreover, we have also released all political prisoners in accordance with your instructions. ”
As soon as he came, he made it clear that he signed an agreement last year, so you can't talk and don't count!
The opening remarks already brought an element of instability, and when he heard his words, Ciric on the side immediately stopped doing it.
