August 1, 1936, was the opening day of the 11th Summer Olympic Games. As in history, the Games will be held in Berlin, the capital of the German Empire.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, Ludwig. Feng. Infantry General Heinsberg-Hersmann and German Chancellor Adolf. Hitler sat side by side in a Mercedes-Benz 770K luxury convertible and drove from the Wilhelm Street Chancellery to the main venue of the Olympic Games.

The streets where the car passed were lined with costumed Berlin citizens, and when Hitler's sedan passed by, everyone raised their arms and shouted: Hitler! Hitler!

"Ludwig, do we look like a triumphant commander now?"

As the convoy passed the Brandenburg Gate, Adolf. Hitler suddenly asked Hersmann beside him.

"Prime Minister, we are returning triumphantly!" Hersmann looked a little triumphant, "We just conquered the Kingdom of Bohemia!" ”

Czechoslovakia is no longer in this country! In Edward. After Benes resigned from the presidency and left Prague in disgrace, the Czech nation also lost the courage to fight - a nation of 6 million people now faced 82 million Germans, 52 million Poles (including Ukrainians, Lithuanians, etc.), 8 million Hungarians, and nearly 2 million Slovaks. The balance of power is so great, and no major power in the world is willing to stand up and say a word for them.

In fact, all the people are condemning them! It was as if these 6 million people were the source of all the evil in the world.

In this case, the newly succeeded President of Czechoslovakia, Emir. Hacha did not dare to have any thoughts of resistance at all. One could only watch as the army of Czechoslovakia disintegrated in despair and panic, and the whole country was torn apart.

Hersman, who can be described as "scheming", accurately anticipated all this as early as when formulating the "Green Plan", and also formulated a corresponding "occupation" plan.

At the same time as the collapse of the Czechoslovak army. Under the banner of "Sudetenland", wearing German army uniforms, wearing M35 steel helmets, holding German Mauser 98K rifles, MP28 submachine guns and MG13 machine guns (before the appearance of MG34, it was the main machine gun of the German army), dragging officers and soldiers of various German artillery. As if coming out of the ground, it quickly took over the border fortifications, barracks, and munitions warehouses abandoned by the Czechoslovak army.

Even Brno, the second largest city in Czechoslovakia and the capital of Moravia, and many surrounding areas and towns were bloodlessly occupied by the Sudetenland Wehrmacht in chaos. The city is not part of the Sudetenland, but due to its proximity to Austria, it has a large number of Germanic residents. It was also the former heavy industrial base of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and the city was full of factories, including the famous Skoda Arsenal!

Needless to say, it is also known that the Škoda Arsenal has completely fallen into the hands of the "Sudetenland" at this moment.

As for the Moravia-Silesian region, the original center of the steel industry in Czechoslovakia, most of it belonged to the Sudetenland. Now it is also completely occupied by the "Sudetenland". The Moravian-Silesian region was also connected to the Free City of Brno (the name used by the city after the occupation of the Sudetenland), and its southern border extended to the Austrian border.

In other words, the territory of the Czechs was divided in two by the expanded Sudetenland. And the province of Bohemia, where most of the Czechs lived, was encircled by the Sudetenland!

After the "Sudetenland" pocketed the entire province of Bohemia, they did not continue to reap the fruits of victory. Rather, it declared that it had "recovered" all the lands usurped by the Czechs and was willing to participate in the "democratic process" of the Bohemian Federation.

"Chancellor, we have actually taken the entire Kingdom of Bohemia," Hersman said in an accentuated tone. As if there was some special meaning. "The Sudetenland is now more than 35,000 square kilometers in size, and its population is about 50 percent of the kingdom of Bohemia and Moravia."

Relative to the economically backward provinces of Slovakia and Transcarpathian-Ruthenia (i.e., Carpathian Ukraine). The provinces of Bohemia and Moravia, developed from the former Czechoslovakia, were also highly populated - these are the two provinces that Hersmann and Hitler wanted.

The two provinces have nearly 9 million people, of whom 3.5 million are Germans (or identify themselves Germans), about 5 million are Czechs, and 500,000 belong to other nationalities. When it came to fighting for votes, the Germans were theoretically inferior to the Czechs.

But Hersman was a "political general." Calculating elections is as good as calculating wars.

Among the "Green Plans" he drew up was a plan to elect the entire Kingdom of Bohemia (Bohemia and Moravia). At the heart of the whole plan was to expand the size of the Sudetenland and seek to convert more than 1 million ethnic Czechs into the Sudetenland - how many members of parliament or the Constituent Assembly could be elected in a given region according to democratic principles. It is determined according to the size of the population!

In other words, if the population of the Sudetenland exceeds 4.5 million, then the state should have the same representation in the Federal Assembly or the Constituent Assembly as the Czech Free State.

Because of these 4.5 million people, Germans make up another 3.5 million - that is, the voters of Sudetenland are overwhelmingly Germans, so the German People's Party will be able to win all the federal seats in the Sudetenland constituency!

Together with the German-allied Slovak (Slovak state) and Hungarians (Fervedijk) elected federal councillors, the German People's Party would be able to control the parliament and constituent assembly of the future Bohemian Federation. In this way, the German People's Party was able to draw up a Bohemian constitution that would meet the interests of the German Reich.

"And when are we going to swallow this big cake whole?" Hitler asked Hersmann as he waved to the cheering crowd on the side of the road.

"That depends on when His Majesty the Emperor can restore the German Empire!" Hersmann glanced at Hitler, "The election for the Constituent Assembly of Bohemia will be over in a few days, and then the constitution will begin...... When the time comes, the German People's Party will propose to turn the Bohemian Confederation into a kingdom! ”

"Who is the king?" Hitler asked.

"It's our Majesty!"

The Parliament of Bohemia will elect Wilhelm II as King of the Kingdom of Bohemia! At the same time, the Baltic Republic would also change its constitution from a republic to a kingdom, and the king, of course, would also be Wilhelm II.

"When the time comes, we will only have to restore His Majesty the Emperor," said Hersmann, looking at Hitler, word for word, "Germany will form a rejuncy with the Baltic and Bohemia, and then Austria will join ...... The republican alliance would be an important step towards the complete unification of the German Empire. ”

Hersmann was using Bohemia, Baltic, and Austria as bargaining chips to push Hitler to push for the restoration of Wilhelm II as soon as possible.

"However, most of the countries are opposed to the restoration of His Majesty the Emperor." Adolph. Hitler said slowly.

"Poland will get Ceskhin and Carpathian Ukraine, Hungary will get Firmiec (the panhandle near Hungary), as for Italy...... We can help them solve their problems in South Tyrol! ”

"The South Tyrolean problem?" Hitler didn't seem to understand what was going on, "How are we going to solve it?" ”

"Hundreds of thousands of compatriots there, let them return to the empire." Hersman lowered his voice, "We can lose the land, but we can't lose the people!" All Germans who became foreigners after the World War should return to their homeland, and we can help them to settle down in the lands of Germany, Austria, Bohemia or Baltic. ”

Hersmann, who knew the history of the Second World War, could not have known more clearly what population meant to Germany. If possible, he would have liked to concentrate the Germans scattered throughout Europe on German soil. In this way, the German Empire may have a population of 100 million at the beginning of World War II.

"Yes, we can't forget them!" This time, Hitler agreed with Hersmann, "We should launch a movement to return to the Reich, and let all the Germans who are willing to return to their homeland let them come back, which will increase our cohesion." ”

"So we've solved a problem for Italy," Hersman smiled, smirkingly, "and the leader needs our support in the Spanish Civil War, so he'll support us." ”

The Spanish Civil War broke out on July 18, just before the opening of the Olympic Games. A rebellion was instigated by Mora and other generals - not a rebellion of a few Spanish troops, but a collective rebellion by the Spanish army controlled by the right Pai soldiers against the Spanish government controlled by the left Pai. As a result, an army rebellion soon broke out throughout Spain, but the Spanish Left Pai reacted very quickly, immediately mobilizing the masses and organizing a large national army. In many places, especially in densely populated and economically developed industrial cities, the rebellious armies did not achieve victory.

Under these circumstances, the armed intervention of Italy seemed to have been the key to the victory of the Spanish rebels. And because of the current "special relationship" between Germany and the Soviet Union, Germany's attitude is very crucial. (To be continued.) )
