Chapter 1532 "Nail" strikes again
When Foreign Minister Ribbentrop received a diplomatic announcement from the Soviet Central Committee full of "goodwill" forwarded by the German Embassy in Moscow, the German Foreign Office in Berlin Wilhelmstrasse, and understood that the Soviet Union had completely abandoned its expectations of Britain and France and had turned closer to Germany. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
"Interesting! The British suffered a crushing defeat in India on the front foot, and the Soviets relented on the back foot! Either way, it's a great thing for the Empire! ”
Ribbentrop took the telegram from the German ambassador to the Soviet Union, Schulenburg, got into the car, galloped all the way to the Chancellery, and went straight to Hitler's office. ”
"Oh? The trouble of the British was not enough, and their poor army, which was as weak as a lamb, suffered another crushing defeat? ”
While talking to himself, Hitler took the telegram from Ribbentrop's hand, and after reading it, he sneered and said: "Here it is, finally here...... Stalin, the son of a shoemaker, finally showed weakness to Germany, and Litvinov was finished! ”
Hitler was a little agitated, raised his hand, threw the telegram high, and the telegram rushed upward, close to the ceiling, but not next to each other. Hitler watched with amusement, watching the telegram drift down little by little, and in his eyes, it seemed like a picture shot in slow motion, illusory, flipped.
"Great, Stalin was worried about fighting on two fronts, but how could Germany not be so? When Britain and France are settled and the Western Front is stabilized, I will turn around and attack Soviet Russia, and then it will be too late for Stalin to wake up again......"
Seeing that the telegram was about to land, Hitler stretched out his hand, caught it, and looked at it carefully, confirming that Litvinov's resignation was indeed true.
"Very good! I have taken another important step to realize the great ideals in Mein Kampf. ”
Hitler approached the globe and pointed to the port city of Memel in eastern Lithuania: "The British and French have retreated, and this land, which once belonged to the Germanic peoples, is once again back in German hands!" The expansion of the empire will be inevitable! ”
The "earth" is made into a spherical shape, placed in the middle of the ball rack, and it rotates when you push it. On the sphere, the boundaries between countries are marked with red, yellow, blue and green, and the roads, railways, rivers, mountains, rivers and seas of various countries are clear.
Four days earlier, Germany and Lithuania had signed a treaty in Berlin on the cession of Lithuania to Germany in the Memel region. Before 1919, Memel had always belonged to German Germany, in a referendum in 1921 with 90% of the votes in favor of the establishment of a Danzig model republic, in 1923 it was occupied by Lithuania, since then disputes often broke out between the majority of the population of Germans and the Governor of Lithuania, with the Nazi government coming to power, the German economy recovered strongly, the Memel region strongly demanded to return to Germany, Lithuania was forced by German pressure, and finally signed an alliance under the city, Hitler once again regained the German homeland without blood, Win the enthusiastic support of the people.
Just when Hitler was mired in illusions and unable to extricate himself, the commander of the Luftwaffe, Hermann. William. Goering, Deputy Leader and Member of the German Cabinet of Defense Committee Rudolf. Hess, the German police commissioner and the SS Reich prefect Heinrich. Jelem, Minister of National Education and Publicity and Chief Executive of the German capital, Paul Leem. Joseph. Goebbels, Intelligence and Security Director Reinhard. Heydrich, Rommel, captain of the Führer's base guard, Czech Governor Stuka, commander of the 19th Army Guderian, Chief of Staff of Army Group South Manstein, retired General Rundstedt, SS member Skolzny and others approached.
Hitler stroked the globe and beckoned the crowd to sit down.
"I believe you are very clear about the purpose of this call. Our occupation of Czechoslovakia was a complete success. I now hope that you will be able to come up with a good way to get the most out of our Germany. ”
At this point, Hitler glanced at the audience with a sharp gaze, and then continued: "Now give everyone the opportunity to speak freely. Please feel free to express your opinions, and do not hide anything! ”
"Führer—"
Czech Governor Stuka glanced at Goering, stood up with the other party's nod, and said solemnly: "I have had an in-depth discussion with Marshal Goering on this issue, that is, to move back to Germany all the factories, enterprises, gold, foreign exchange reserves and grain of the entire Czechoslovakia, and to destroy all the things that cannot be carried in Czechoslovakia. After all, we are the winners, so we should achieve what the winners should achieve. ”
After a pause, Stuka continued: "At the same time, I think we should strengthen our control over Czechoslovakia, and let the Czechoslovakians farm and raise war horses for us, which is more than enough. ”
After Stuka finished speaking, he bowed deeply to Hitler and sat down.
When Hitler heard that his close comrade-in-arms Goering had extended his hand to Czechoslovakia, he was greatly displeased, but his face did not show it, and he asked with a smile: "Do you have any other suggestions?" ”
"Ridiculous! Amusing! ”
Reinhard. Heydrich stood up: "Führer, I think the idea of the governor of Stuka is stupid and naïve. "Seeing Stuka stand up with his eyes *** ready to retort, Reinhard. Heydrich smiled and asked, "May I ask the Governor of Stuka, what should we do if the Czechs, Slovaks and Hungarians oppose the government taking away their right to work and live?" ”
Stuka was stunned for a moment, blushing, and glanced at Goering for help, and when he got no response, he stammered a little, "Of course...... Expelling them, of course, from the territory of our empire completely, and letting them know the consequences of going against the empire. ”
"If this is the case, it will only cause chaos in the whole of Czechoslovakia, and the forces of the Reich will be held back by an endless stream of violent revolts, as is now the case with Britain in India!"
Hydri stared at Stuka's eyes, with a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth, and said eloquently: "Czechoslovakia has complex terrain, there are mountains everywhere, once a serious *** incident occurs, the enemy's partisans can escape the blows of our air force and Wehrmacht by hiding in the mountains." So if we don't handle it well, our enemies will constantly harass us, and then we will be passive! ”
Speaking of this, Heydrich glanced at the people present: "So it is very passive to destroy our enemies from the ** with racism alone." We should take a proactive approach, which is to try to keep the opponent's resistance as low as possible, so that we can completely control the opponent. ”
Heydrich bowed respectfully to Hitler: "Your Excellency, this is my personal opinion, and I hope that the Führer and your Excellency will adopt it!" ”
Seeing Göring staring into Heydrich's eyes that were about to erupt with anger, and a large group of Goering's followers objecting in unison, Hitler suddenly felt that Göring's power was too great to seriously threaten his position. Hess was too cautious, like a peacemaker, and because of his own appointment of Reinhard. Heinrich served as commander of naval aviation. Heelum has been very close to Goering recently, and Goebbels is like a wall-to-wall grass, leaning on whichever side is strong, so if he dies unexpectedly, then Goering ...... Hitler couldn't help but shudder.
"No, you have to support someone of considerable ability to fight Goering in the ring, otherwise your position as the Führer will be in jeopardy!" Thinking of this, Hitler glanced at Goering meaningfully, and then gave Reinhard a encouraging glance. Heydrich said: "Dear Reinhard, your suggestion is good, is there a concrete implementation plan?" ”
Reinhard. Heydrich gave a solemn salute to Hitler:
"Yes, my Führer. In the light of the recent successive defeats of the British in India, I reflected on our policy and found that if we copied the British policy of domination of the colonies, we would also be dragged into the quagmire of guerrilla warfare, which would seriously delay the development of the empire, for which time could not be more important! Combined with the smooth annexation of French Annan by our friend General Anyi of Xufu, I suddenly felt that if the Chinese can succeed, why can't we? After all, Czechoslovakia was a country that split off from the former Austro-Hungarian Empire, and the Germanic peoples had a good ruling base there, so why don't we make full use of the precious wealth left to us by history to serve the expansion of the empire's power? ”
Speaking of which, Reinhard. Heydrich motioned to the adjutant to send a thick folder and introduced: "This is my plan for the administration of Czechoslovakia. In this report, the main body of the revolt against the empire in the Czech Republic should be the middle class, which is the main hotbed of resistance, so we cannot adopt the so-called racial system. Rather, we should show our courtesy to the local workers and peasants, use them against the bourgeois intellectuals, and abolish the regulations which reduced the Czechs to the rank of the second class, and be able to increase the supply of oil and oil and other related living facilities to the workers of the other side, and reform the Czech social insurance and health care system, which is far behind that of Germany, so that Czechoslovakia can be truly and completely controlled by us. ”
Listening to Heydrich's plans in recent times, Hitler and other neutrals kept nodding their heads. After all, this plan looks perfect on the surface.
Goering did not speak the whole time, he had already felt Hitler's rather profound glance, and knew that the Führer was beginning to be wary of him, and he could not help but bow his head angrily. Heydrich became more and more jealous.
After some thought, Hitler finally made an important decision in front of everyone:
First of all, the factories and enterprises in Czechoslovakia were not allowed to dismantle and relocate back to Germany, and they were not allowed to use raw materials and equipment to start production on the spot, and only needed to transport the finished products back to Germany;
Secondly, the appointment of the Director of Intelligence and Security, Commander of the Imperial Naval Aviation, Reinhard . Admiral Heydrich was chairman of the Committee for the reorganization of Czechoslovakia, managed the administration of the whole of Czechoslovakia, relieved Stuka of the post of Czech governor-general and returned to the post of state secretary of the Third Reich;
Thirdly, Hitler awarded Reinhard. Heydrich was the honorary title of protector of Bohemia and Great Moravia, which in effect was the appointment of Reinhard. Heydrich was the Czech Supreme Military and Political Governor.
Reinhard. Heydrich wore many hats, each of which was crucial, and his status in the Nazi Party and Germany rose rapidly, and he inadvertently became the fifth person in Nazi Germany, and he was hot, and the mastermind who offered advice to Heydrich -- "Nail" Zhong Lei, had an increased influence on German politics again.
