Chapter 527: Prelude to World War
In the final analysis, Germany certainly wanted to find an opportunity to completely solve the problem of France, which hated them so much, but they also coveted Poland, the fertile land and the sparsely populated (compared to French) large granary of Eastern Europe, and they also drew up a war plan early. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Therefore, when they realized that the Entente was too strong to resist and could only choose to invade Soviet Russia in the east, Germany was soon able to complete the war mobilization and pre-war deployment, which was much more efficient than those of the Entente, of course, this was also because Germany's losses in the war against the Soviet Union were not too great, but their gains were quite rich, coupled with Germany's deep militaristic tradition, they not only did not have any war-weariness, but longed for a new war......
However, the Russian government was also prepared for war, and the military ability of the mentor was stronger than that of Stalin, especially for the dialectical relationship between politics and military affairs, he understood much more deeply. Except for the important industrial cities or transportation hubs of Petrograd, Moscow, Tsaritsyn and Baku, all other lands could be temporarily abandoned in his eyes, luring the enemy deep and then taking advantage of the weakness of the enemy's elongated supply lines to annihilate their living forces in large numbers, which was the main strategy he developed in response to the German invasion. No way, although the current Soviet Russia is already quite strong, the German Empire is even stronger......
In addition, it is worth mentioning that the Soviet army did not concentrate a large number of troops near the border line as it did in the early stage of World War II, and was completely wiped out by a wave of sneak attacks by the German army, but stayed in a second-line position out of reach of the enemy's bombers.
What made the German army even more painful was that the Soviet Russians did not even leave any grain in Poland, but they advanced fast enough, and the captured grain was very small, and what was worse was that even the local Polish people had only very little food at home, and it was said that the Soviet Russian government was worried about the enemy, so it has always only allowed Polish residents to keep no more than one month's rations at home, and it is still according to the minimum standard, and those who dare to save more than one month without permission will be punished for treason, which is troublesome......
Moreover, the mentor, who had always been worried about the German invasion, had demanded that only cash crops be planted in the Polish countryside three years ago, and that no grain should be planted at all.
After they occupied Poland, not only could they not grab food, but they also had to provide food to the Poles so that they would not starve to death, and what Germany lacked the most, in addition to oil, was food, what should I do?
Continue to go deep and attack Ukraine, the now largest granary of Soviet Russia? Are you kidding? When the Soviet Union was invaded for the first time, it suffered a big loss after being outflanked and cut off the supply line after going deep into the enemy's territory, and the German General Staff was famous all over the world, how could it be possible to be planted in the same pit twice in a row?
The German government had no choice but to ask the Entente for help, but the Entente had grain, after all, the United States, the world's largest grain exporter, was there, but this grain had to be bought with money. Originally, this was not too much of a problem, even if the development of Germany in this time and space suffered repeated setbacks, and the German government could still afford a few months of military rations for the front-line troops, but the problem was that they were only willing to buy food for their own army, but they were unwilling to pay a gold mark for the Poles......
To put it bluntly, modern nationalism, while conducive to uniting forces within the nation-state, has also led to contempt and indifference to foreigners, and although not so much as the racism of the moustache later in history, few Germans have felt the need to treat Poles equally. In fact, many Germans simply wished that the Poles were all dead, so that they could more easily digest this large granary that Germany had coveted for a long time.
But the Germans ignored the fact that if this man could not live, he would rebel! Well, even if the Poles, who had a limited population and were unarmed, even if they rebelled, it would not be enough to inflict much damage on the German army, but after the rise of local partisans, it was impossible for the logistics of the German army to remain unaffected, and at this time, Soviet Russia launched a full-scale counteroffensive!
To the surprise of many people, the first direction of the counterattack chosen by the mentor was not Poland, but the Balkans in the south, after several years of continuous infiltration, Bulgaria can change color at any time, and Romania only needs to issue a statement, after the merger of these two countries, Serbia, Hungary and Slovakia will directly face the front of the Soviet Russian Red Army, once these three countries are red, the flank of the invading Soviet German army will be under great pressure.
It must be noted that since the secession from Austria-Hungary, both Hungary and Slovakia have been in great trouble, with social unrest, economic downturn, discredited government, and extremely acute class contradictions, which were infiltrated like a sieve by the Bolsheviks within a few years. Coupled with the clever propaganda methods in recent years, when the Soviet Russian Red Army entered Budapest, it was even warmly welcomed by many citizens......
Well, no, at this time it was no longer called Soviet Russia, just a month after the German invasion of the Soviet Union, the Russian government, the Romanian government and the Bulgarian government, which had once again raised the red flag, issued a joint declaration announcing the establishment of the "Union of Soviet Socialist Republics", referred to as the Soviet Union, due to the strong demand of many comrades such as steel, the Soviet Union was Slavic (but broader than the traditional Slavic definition, and also included other Slavic peoples. ) is the legal subject of the nation, so it is also called the "Union of Slavic Socialist Republics" or the Slovakian Union.
After the establishment of the Soviet Union, Romania and Bulgaria were incorporated in the form of union republics, while Soviet Russia, as the main body, was divided into seven union republics: Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Poland, Georgia, Azerbaijan and Armenia, and then merged into each other, making a total of nine union republics with a total population of no less than 150 million.
In addition to the influence of his personal ethnic background, the reason why the mentor still chose such a state system knowing that there were hidden dangers was that he saw that this system could easily expand the territory in the form of "voluntary accession" of the target country, and minimize the notoriety of aggression, as long as the original government of the target country was unpopular, the Red Army restrained military discipline and insisted on "uniting the workers and peasants and cleaning up the upper echelons." It can be easily swallowed in, and it will be much easier to integrate and digest.
