The end of the show meant that even more was being rehearsed behind the scenes: Britain and France celebrated each other for the "great gains" of their diplomacy, celebrating the exchange of their sovereignty for their own peace and the avoidance of the senseless bloodshed of countless Gauls and Anglo-Saxons. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 InfoIn the whole of Britain, perhaps only Churchill saw what the Munich Agreement really meant!

In his speech to the House of Commons of the British Parliament on 5 October, Churchill made the consequences of Munich clear and clear: "We have suffered a total and complete defeat, and we are in the midst of a catastrophe of the first class. The gateway to the Danube to the Black Sea has been opened. All the countries of Central Europe and the Danube basin will fall one after another into the huge Nazi political system centered on Berlin, do not think that this is the end, it is only the beginning! ”

Unlike the British, Moscow knew exactly what the Munich Agreement would mean: the Soviets had to fight a world war far more brutal and massive than World War I. Whoever prepares first will have the upper hand.

On 1 November, with the return of the "exercise troops" to their original stations on the western border, a special meeting was held in Moscow with the participation of all members of the Central ******, all members of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet, and members of the Revolutionary Military Committee.

It was a conference that would determine the future direction of the Soviets, and even the fate of the Soviet Union, and all understood its importance.

"The fate of the Soviets will depend on this."

There was no grand opening ceremony, everything was carried out in a low-key manner, and even the venue of the meeting was chosen as a training base of the Ministry of Internal Affairs on the outskirts of Moscow, all for the sake of secrecy. If foreign envoys or press agencies in Moscow find out that all the important figures of the Soviets are gathering in the Kremlin, even though the October Revolution (Russian calendar) is approaching, it is needless to think that something important must be happening.

In the first half of the meeting, the commanders of the Kiev, Belarusian, and Odessa military districts reported on the summary report of the military operation; although there was no formal military offensive, it still very well tempered the troops' ability to coordinate and deploy in large depths, and the large number of problems exposed in this also reminded the commanders of the Red Army that they could be solved one by one in future training.

What satisfied the commanders the most was that the commanders and fighters of the major military regions in the western region were already mentally prepared to take part in the war -- although they did not fire a single shot this time, the soldiers and commanders felt the atmosphere of "war" and their desire for war became even stronger.

In Lin Jun's words, it is explained: "If the soldiers only think about avoiding war, and are focused on comfortable peace and their wives and children at home, then it is better to go home and farm!" What the Soviets needed was soldiers who wanted to make a mark in the war and serve the country all the time! What we want is a group of soldiers who are hungry for war! ”

Lin Jun said this at the enlarged meeting of the National Defense Committee some time ago, although this was said very extremely, but it is suitable for the current situation: the Red Army may face more than a scumbag opponent in the future, that is, the Wehrmacht and the SS armed with Great Germanic nationalism and Nazi ideology! Let an army worried about the outbreak of war fight against the SS in Germany? I lost most of it before I even fought!

"Comrades, this time Germany forced Czechoslovakian Slodeck to cede 11,000 square miles of land, acquiring 2,800,000 Sudetenland Germans and 800,000 Czechs. There were a large number of Czech fortifications in this area, which constituted by far the strongest defence in Europe, and was only matched by the French Maginot Line. It was Molotov who, as People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs, knew these data even better than the staff officers of the Cheka and the Intelligence Department of the General Staff, and his "Europe" clearly did not count himself.

"Not only that, but all the railways, roads, telephones and telecommunications systems in Czechoslovakia were destroyed. It is estimated that the country lost 66 per cent of its coal, 80 per cent of its lignite, 86 per cent of its chemical industry, 80 per cent of its cement industry, 80 per cent of its textile industry, 70 per cent of its iron and steel industry, 70 per cent of its electricity industry and 40 per cent of its timber industry after its dismemberment. A rich and prosperous industrial country was bankrupt by a partition just overnight. ”

Molotov's statistics were very careful, and his years of diplomatic experience gave him a more thorough view of the situation: "Everything once again shows that Germany is not afraid of war, that Hitler can even ignore the danger of another world war in order to achieve his own goals, and that it is only a matter of time before another world war breaks out, and time will depend on the speed at which Hitler's revenge and desire for land with Germany expands." ”

Regarding military movements, Lin Jun spoke on behalf of the National Defense Committee, and this time Voroshinov generously gave up the opportunity to "show off" to his deputy. Regarding the generosity of Comrade Marshal, Lin Jun also behaved quite reasonably, and after refusing to fail, he consulted with Voroshinov many times about the content of his speech.

"Comrades, according to Comrade Molotov's statement, we can clearly see that the currently dismembered Czechoslovakia is already the mouth of the German mouth, which can be described as a peeled banana."

Lin Jun's metaphor made the serious meeting a little lighter - Czechoslovakia, which was originally a long and narrow country, had now lost the mountainous territory and fortifications that were conducive to defense around it, and the core and banana-shaped territory left behind had the military industry that Hitler wanted most, and strategically speaking, the area had no defensive ability at all, and it was completely a peeled banana in Hitler's hand, which he could eat whenever he wanted.

"Britain and France have met the demands of the Germans at the moment, and by all circumstances, it is only a matter of time before Germany completely annexes Czechoslovakia, and I personally estimate that it will be within half a year. And the value of Czechoslovakia as an ally of Britain and France has been given away by Britain and France themselves, that is to say, Czechoslovakia is no longer qualified as an ally, and Britain and France will only watch from the sidelines for Hitler's further annexation plan. ”

From the look in everyone's eyes, they all have the same considerations.

The bourgeois state had fully exposed its weaknesses in this conspiracy, and if the Munich Agreement had not been negotiated, Hitler had openly boasted that he would march into the Sudetenland on October 1 "under all circumstances", and had blocked his own retreat and made it impossible for him to step down. However, if Czechoslovakia formed an effective alliance with Britain and France, although the German army on the Eastern Front surrounded Czechoslovakia from three directions, it would not be possible to break through the defensive line of the Czech army consisting of 35 divisions hiding in mountain fortifications within a month, and the Germans' five regular divisions and seven reserve divisions on the Western Front would not be able to resist the 100 divisions of the French at all, and there was no reason to suspect that France could not deal with the Germans on the Western Front a month ago. ”

"In the event of a war, the French army would inevitably march straight into Germany, and Poland in the east might join Britain and France in attacking Germany, and if that happens, Hitler's government would fall within a few months. It's just that the Gauls gave up this opportunity. ”

"For France, the Munich Agreement was a catastrophe. France itself destroyed its military position in Europe. If Germany were fully mobilized, the French army would be less than half as large as the German army, because the population of Germany was almost twice as large; France's main arms production capacity is also smaller than that of Germany, not to mention Hitler's imminent military industrial base in Czechoslovakia; The alliance that France had painstakingly built in Eastern Europe, that is, on the flank of Germany-Italy, with smaller countries such as Czechoslovakia, Poland, Yugoslavia and Romania, which together had a military potential worthy of that of a single great power, would also collapse. The loss of 35 well-trained and well-equipped Czech divisions, originally deployed in strong mountain fortifications, held back the larger German army, and now the French army lost an arm. However, this is not everything, it is estimated that after the Munich Agreement, France will lose all its allies in Eastern Europe, because an alliance with France is no longer worthless, and the French are already synonymous with perfidy. ”

"The benefits gained by Germany are more worthy of our attention than those of France, which failed."

Hitler's Germany threatened the Soviet Union and was always a problem in Lin Jun's heart.

"Those who had been skeptical and hesitant to wait and see the future and Hitler in Germany were transformed, and the few who were not converted fell into despair. Hitler's generals, soldiers, and ordinary Germans had reached an unsurpassed level of trust in their Führer. Hitler got what he asked for, and he accomplished another great conquest without firing a single shot. ”

"Hitler's prestige reached new heights like never before. What the Germans had after the Munich Conference was ecstasy, relieved that war had been averted. They rejoiced at Hitler's bloodless victory, not only over Czechoslovakia, but also over Britain and France. In just six months, Hitler conquered Austria and the Sudetenland, adding 10 million people and a large strategically important territory to the Third Reich, opening the door to German domination in southeastern Europe. And to win such a great feat without sacrificing the life of a single German! Hitler, with the instinct of a genius rarely seen in German history, saw through not only the weaknesses of the small countries of Central Europe, but also the weaknesses of Britain and France, the two main so-called democracies of the West, and forced them to submit to his will. ”

To tell the truth, if Hitler was in front of him, Lin Jun would say to him: "Sir, well done!" ”

"In just four and a half years, this man of humble origin has made a politically disorganized, militarily disarmed, and economically collapsed Germany, the weakest of the European powers, leap to be considered the most powerful in the Old Continent, and all other nations, including England and France, tremble before it, and in the course of this dizzying leap no victor of the Treaty of Versailles has ever stood in its way, even when they have the strength to do so, I don't have the guts to do that either! Britain and France also flexibly supported it. ”

These are all speeches made by Lin Jun after consultation with Voroshinov, and most of them are of course the language of Lin Jun's own organization, because many of them are very bold: "I can be sure with all the members of the National Defense Committee: It is very likely that the small countries around Germany will cooperate with Hitler, because they need to find a new backer and make a deal that will not at least lose their old capital." ”

Lin Jun walked to the map on the wall, "Germany's desires cannot be satisfied, and given the historical reasons and the effect of the Munich Agreement, Germany's next target will be Poland." By this time, France would no longer have the capital to compete with Germany, and we would face a threat from Germany on all fronts as far south as the Black Sea and north as the Baltic Sea. ”

It is clear on the map that the current Soviet Union's borders with Romania and Poland on the Western Front will be the borders with Germany in the near future.

"All the comrades who are doing it already know that we have achieved some diplomatic results in the military operation some time ago, and given that the western borders are too close to our heavy industrial base and the big cities, in the event of a German attack on Poland, we must obtain Bessarabia, which was taken by the West during the civil war (in 38 years belonged to Romania, which is today's Republic of Moldova. ), Western Ukraine, Western Belarus, and gain control of Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, seize the Karelia region in the north and gain sufficient strategic buffer zones. ”

"If one day we go to war with Germany, both sides will have to have a buffer zone against the first attacker, and whoever withstands the first wave of attack will gain the initiative in the war. Germany will soon get what they need, and the Nazi hostility to the Soviets is no different from that of the so-called democracies, and we need to be prepared for the same. "It is impossible for a major country to fight a quick victory, and the strategic depth and war potential cannot be matched by a small country.

"Comrades, the facts tell us that international norms are for those weak and small countries to hear, and strong countries can have their own yardsticks. Treaties are just a layer of paper that takes care of the face of countries, which cannot be relied on in the face of war and interests, and the fate of countries needs to be grasped by ourselves. ”

Lin Jun's speech was met with prolonged applause from all the participants -- comrades have long wanted to do this! (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) (To be continued.) )
