A Polish-made Maroszek WZ35 anti-tank rifle had been set up in the window of the suite of the Europa Hotel in the center of Prague, with its slender barrel pointed at the intersection of the main road - it was a road where cars were busy, but ordinary cars did not need to be fired with anti-tank rifles. This powerful and difficult anti-tank gun was used against a bulletproof sedan customized by Skoda. Such cars are not ordinary goods produced on a large scale, but luxury goods produced in small quantities exclusively for the use of big people. There were less than 10 in Prague, one of which belonged to the former president of Czechoslovakia, Masaryk.

Today the former president will travel in his bulletproof car to a court in the center of Prague, where he will give a speech calling on the people of Czechoslovakia to unite and crush the conspiracy of the German separatists – not because of the wisdom of the old president, but because all the bad things in Czechoslovakia were done by the Germans!

That's how they are annoying, they do all kinds of evil! Before 1931 they were thieves, swindlers, beggars and prostitutes from the mountains...... They were inferior people in Prague, worthy of menial work. And after 1931, these people became crazy again, fantasizing that their forever lost empire would rise again and turn Czechoslovakia into a colony ruled by the Germans!

Now they are inciting the ignorant Slovaks to stir up trouble in a vain attempt to turn Czechoslovakia from a united republic into a loose federation...... In this way, the 3.5 million Sudetenland Germans also had the right to organize the Free States.

"Son, you are not needed here in Prague, you will return to London tomorrow." Masaryk, who was on a cane, said, "The Slovaks don't make much trouble, the real problem is the Sudetenland's Germans...... The Germans were the source of evil for all of Europe. The same was true for Czechoslovakia! I mean expel them and all the people go. Leave the land of Czechoslovakia and go to Germany. ”

"Father, it's not 1919!" Yang. Masaryk shook his head, "They've really risen to become a powerhouse. ”

"So what?" Masaryk snorted, "Do they dare to come to Czechoslovakia to go wild?" We are not weak. And there are also France, Poland, Yugoslavia and Romania. ”

Czechoslovakia had the so-called "Iron Triangle Alliance" with France and Poland, and at the same time concluded alliances with Yugoslavia and Romania, forming the so-called "Little Entente". However, now the "Iron Triangle" is missing one Poland, and Romania and Yugoslavia in the "Little Entente" are unreliable. And the German Empire is the same year by year, and the national power is getting stronger and stronger......

Yang. Masaryk shook his head, and was just about to say something to his father, when the car suddenly slammed into something, as if it had been struck by something, and then there were several loud "bangs". Yang. Masaryk's head seemed to hit somewhere. I only felt that my eyes were full of gold stars, and a sharp pain came from my forehead. It took a while to react - someone was shooting at the car!

He hurriedly looked back to the side, only to see that most of his father's body had been stained red with blood, and his eyes and mouth were wide open, as if he wanted to shout, but he couldn't make any sound......

……

Paris, Palais Martingnon. French Prime Minister Albert, who has just come to power. Salo suddenly had the feeling that the sky was about to fall. In February, something big happened in Spain - the Left Yi Front, supported by the Third International, came to power.

It is quite possible that the Spanish Republic will become a socialist country of the Third International system – a member of the socialist camp!

And Germany, another major neighbor of France. Now it claims to be National Socialist, and it is also a member of the socialist camp!

France is now surrounded by socialism. Although there were many socialists in France, such as Albert. Prime Minister Saro's Radical Socialist Party also calls itself socialist. But the mainstream of socialism in France is not the system of the Third International, nor the system of the International of Nations, but the system of the Second International. Although they are all surnamed society, it is needless to say what the relationship between the two factions is like

However, it is probably not feasible for France to interfere in the Spanish Revolution, not least because the French people do not want to fight. It is also because the various leftist Pai in France are now forming a coalition of political parties called the "Popular Front" in order to prevent the French "fascists" – who are in fact not in league with Hitler, on the contrary, they are French radical statists and are opposed to Germany – from seizing power. The Bolshevik Party in France will also be a member.

In other words, the Socialists of the Second International in France (Our Lady of the White Left) and the Bolshevik Party of the Third International united in the name of opposing fascism to suppress the French nationalists – in fact, the likes of Petain, Weygand, Renault and de Gaulle.

Constrained by the Bolsheviks within the "Popular Front", the French government did not know how to deal with the chaos in Spain, and Czechoslovakia in Central Europe had a new mess.

The Slovaks are making a fuss about self-government - this is no small matter, the Slovaks are part of the main ethnic group of Czechoslovakia! If they were autonomous, what about the Germans, Poles, Hungarians and Ukrainians in Czechoslovakia? Do you want autonomy too?

If they are all autonomous, how much territory do the Czechs still have? Can that bit of territory still support an independent military power?

What made the French Prime Minister even more troubled was that Masaryk, the "father of the nation" of Czechoslovakia, was actually hinted at when he went to the Prague City Court a few days ago - he was bombarded in a bulletproof car with an anti-tank rifle!

And this assassination incident immediately turned into an uproar!

Czechoslovak President Benes declared a state of emergency on the day Masaryk was killed, ordered the conscription of 400,000 reservists, and carried out a purge of the army, dismissing thousands of Slovak officers and non-commissioned officers.

At the same time, President Benes ordered troops to march into the Sudetenland, where Germans were concentrated, and declared martial law.

Moreover, the Czechoslovak government believed that Masaryk's assassination was related to the Sudetenland National German People's Party, and announced the banning of the party, which was in fact the practice of Czechoslovakia, pushing out Germans as the main culprits whenever there was an internal problem.

This time, however, the actions of the Czechoslovak government were immediately met with a strong reaction from Germany!

On the day that German President Ludendorff banned the Sudetenland German People's Party in Czechoslovakia, he issued a ****** to expand the army to 1.5 million within a month!

At the same time, a large number of German troops marched into the border areas close to Czechoslovakia, and Luftwaffe fighters and reconnaissance planes also began to frequently cross the border to reconnoitre, and they were very likely to fight for the "Sudeten brothers" and Czechoslovakia.

The matter was not over here, just when Germany and Czechoslovakia were in tension. A group called the Slovak Popular Front has publicly claimed responsibility for the assassination of Masaryk.

And this organization was none other than a partisan unit under the Hungarian Bolshevik Party and the Slovak Bolshevik Party!

In other words, Masaryk's death was indirectly related to the Soviet Union, and had nothing to do with the Sudetenland German Party, they were wronged.

Just when the Bolsheviks stood up to bear the blame, the head of the Sudetenland German People's Party, Konrad. Hanrhine and the leader of the Slovak Catholic People's Party, Andre. Father Helinka ran to Geneva, Switzerland, to cry to the League of Nations about the cruel oppression of the Czechs by the Germans and Slovaks for a long time!

Moreover, the two men also accused the Czechs of deceiving the Entente in 1919 - the Czechs and Slovaks were not one people at all! So Czechoslovakia was not a nation-state either, but a multi-ethnic state!

Non-Czechs, who make up more than 60% of the population (and not so many), are now being exploited and oppressed by the Czechs, and are in an even more miserable situation than in the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

A few days later, representatives of Hungarians, Ukrainians and Poles in Czechoslovakia also went to Geneva to complain and cry. In the British and French newspapers, there was also an abundance of all sorts of Czech misdeeds.

"Mr. Chancellor, Mr. Ribbentrop, Germany's no-or-duty ambassador, has arrived."

The French prime minister's secretary ushered a middle-aged man in his early forties, who looked a little frivolous, into the office.

"Mr. Chancellor," said Ribbentrop, who spoke very good French, went straight to the point without saying a word of greeting, "our Chancellor Hitler has sent me to Paris to convey to you his views on the 'Czechoslovak question,' which he believes should be resolved in its entirety within the framework of the League of Nations. ”

"Solve the problem completely?" The French Prime Minister seems to be a little confused.

Ribbentrop said: "The question of Czechoslovakia is primarily a question of nationality, that is, whether Czechoslovakia was a nation-state at all, and if not, whether the peoples of Czechoslovakia had the right to self-government and whether they could secede from Czechoslovakia by national self-determination." Chancellor Hitler's opinion was to form a League of Nations investigation team to conduct a comprehensive investigation of the internal national question in Czechoslovakia! Then, on the basis of the results of the investigation, a solution to the Czechoslovak problem was decided. ”

"Send a League of Nations investigation team?" The French Prime Minister pondered for a moment and felt that this was indeed a solution to the problem. "And what is Chancellor Hitler's opinion on the composition of the investigation team?"

"Each of the permanent members of the Executive Yuan may send a representative to participate." Ribbentrop smiled and said, "The whole process of investigation can be made public to journalists from all over the world...... In fact, all of Europe knows that Slovaks and Czechs are not one people at all, and that their language, culture, and even level of faith in Christ are completely different. (To be continued.) )
