Chapter 234: The Attitude of Britain and France

The lively Spring Festival in the Czech principality was destined to be in time, but he was not idle, because the Soviet Union finally began to make a move, and according to the feedback from Soviet intelligence officers, the Soviet Union was likely to make a move against the Ukrainian and Belarusian empires in March. In fact, Belarus and Ukraine are now under the control of the Soviet Union, but they are not explicitly integrated into the Soviet Union.

The intentions of the Soviet Union were not concealed too deeply, and soon the government intelligence services of the Kingdom of Lithuania also received the news, and the military of the Kingdom of Lithuania was instantly much excited, and they knew very well that the opportunity was in front of them. In the past, Turkey defeated Greece, and now the Soviet Union is preparing to annex Belarus and Ukraine into its own territory, and it is natural that the Czech principality has some actions!

That night, all the members of the Lithuanian cabinet came to the Lithuanian royal palace, along with several army generals, all with excitement on their faces.

"His Majesty the King, East Prussia and Poland ......"

"Do you think Britain and France will sit back and watch us annex East Prussia and Poland? Poland may not have a problem, but East Prussia ......"

Ernst didn't finish his words but shook his head, Prime Minister Arturas nodded with a stiff face, he knew that he was carried away by excitement, how could Britain and France sit back and watch the Kingdom of Lithuania become strong? The Soviet Union was their enemy, but how could the Czech principality not be a country they were afraid of?

"This time you can't rely on the military strength of the Czech principality, can the 50,000 Royal Lithuanian Army take Poland?"

Ernst ignored Prime Minister Arturas and looked at the army generals on the side, including officers from the Czech principality and generals from the Kingdom of Lithuania, but there was no doubt that they were the real decision-makers of the military of the Kingdom of Lithuania at this time.

Poland lost more than it won in the war with the Soviet Union. However, being able to hold out so far shows that its military strength is not weak. On the one hand, the combat effectiveness has reached more than 10 thousand, not to mention the number alone. That's more than double the Royal Army of the Kingdom of Lithuania.

"We need time!"

A lieutenant general replied to Ernst's words very seriously, he did not say whether he could or could not, but his words already showed everything, as long as enough time was given, then Poland would definitely be taken.

"I'll give you a chance, but I hope you don't let me down!"

Ernst did not say what the result of disappointment would be, but they knew Ernst's character very well, and if they failed, they would probably be stripped of all their ranks. But life itself is a gamble. Victory can even be promoted to general, this is the first general of the Kingdom of Lithuania, and they can't help but pay attention to it.

The matter was thus settled for the time being, and East Prussia ignored it for the time being and waited for the attack on Poland with all its might, and once the Polish-Lithuanian Kingdom and the Czech Duchy were defeated, it could be regarded as a temporary connection. The effect of the link was enormous, because it could be said to block the road to Western Europe for half of the Soviet Union.

The military of the Kingdom of Lithuania is mainly under the responsibility of the Ministry of Defense, and the Ministry of Defense, such as armaments, logistics, personnel, etc., including the current five Royal Army division commanders are also all subordinate to the Ministry of Defense. At this time, the Kingdom of Lithuania had no generals, no ministers of defense, and the only deputy minister whose main position was the executive vice rector of the Army Academy.

There are only eight lieutenant generals in total, five division commanders, a director of the General Staff Office, a director of the Armament Bureau, a deputy minister, and a part-time executive vice president of the Army Academy. The First World War in Poland was a battle of honor for them. Because once the victory is won, then the most meritorious person is the future Minister of Defense, the first person in the military in the true sense.

Strategy and command are the responsibility of the Chief of Staff. Although the Soviet Union has not yet announced the annexation of Belarus and Ukraine into its territory, the Kingdom of Lithuania is ready to attack Poland at any time.

The preparation of Poland by its neighbors is naturally clear, in fact, it is clear that the Polish government will have this day since Ernst was crowned king of the Kingdom of Lithuania, after all, the biggest obstacle to the Kingdom of Lithuania and the Czech Duchy is Poland. The Polish government had tried to join the Soviet Union against the Czech principalities and the Kingdom of Lithuania, but the Soviet Union refused.

The USSR was not stupid, and if he did not know that the two countries together would not be able to resist the Czech principality? Now the Czech principality is self-respecting, if he really unites with Poland, the happiest estimate is the Czech principality, because he is likely to take this opportunity to directly annex Poland, Belarus, and Ukraine, even then the Czech principality is likely to become a thorn in the side of the British and French eyes.

Britain is still the current world hegemon, and countless colonies can allow him to have millions of foreign legions, not to mention the combat effectiveness, even the Czech principality has some headaches. In today's Europe, Britain and France used the Czech principality to suppress the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union and the Czech principality were holding each other back from developing themselves.

Do you want Poland? There are no problems, but Belarus and Ukraine must be mine. It seems that the Czech principality suffers, but in fact it is not. No matter how short the Soviet Union gained, it could not escape the czech-principality, and no matter how small Poland was, it would only be its own if it was occupied.

Poland, Ukraine, Belarus, this is basically a deal between the Soviet Union and the Czech principality, but this deal is based on heart-to-heart communication, so the specific situation is not clear to the two countries. For example, the Soviet Union wanted to take Ukraine and Belarus, but Ernst only knew what would happen sooner or later, but did not know the specific time. The same was true of the Soviet Union, which wanted to take Ukraine and Belarus, but did not know Ernst's attitude.

The secret saying of the two countries is "You take Ukraine and Belarus quickly, I can do it if you do it", "You must not stop me, I am also giving you a chance to take Poland." ”。

In fact, the news that the Soviet Union was going to merge Belarus and Ukraine into its territory was deliberately transmitted by the Soviet Union, and its purpose was to test the attitude of the Czech principality. When they saw that the army of the Kingdom of Lithuania began to display the border, at this time the Soviet Union was already clear about Ernst's attitude, and naturally there were no longer any worries about doing things.

Britain and France are not blind in the eyebrows of the two countries, they can naturally see it, but what can they do? After all, you don't have any evidence that this is a joint effort to trap them? And even if there is evidence, what can be done, is it allowed to develop in the Soviet Union?

This is a conspiracy, there is no way to crack it, after all, they need the Czech principality to contain the Soviet Union, and if the Soviet Union is strong, they naturally have to appease the Czech principality and make the Czech principality strong, but it is just a broken Poland, so divide it up! This is the psychology of Britain and France at this time.

At this time, the United States was almost no longer involved in European affairs, and in fact he could not intervene, after all, Britain and France were very wary of the United States, and the Czech principality and the Soviet Union did not welcome the United States, so he could only focus on East Asia, and strive to sell his own goods and increase his influence in East Asia.

The world had been divided more or less before the First World War, and the German Reich would not have demanded a redistribution of benefits if it had not been so. At the end of World War I, the Allies not only did not get what they wanted, but also threw away all that they had originally held. The United States is also a new country, and even if it is the victorious country, the benefits are not very good.

Needless to say, he hardly touched any good places, and most of his wealth was earned by the Czech Duchy, and it is not clear whether the United States in this life can reach the heights of the previous life. However, even if it can be achieved, it will be slower, after all, the interests are in front of you, and the Czech principality will naturally have one less point for the United States to take a share.

Poland was nervous because of the actions of the Kingdom of Lithuania, and the generals gathered together to prepare a plan for dealing with it, and at the same time they were asking for the participation of Britain and France. Maybe Britain and France are luring the wolf into the house, but no matter what the other party is, the Czech principality is now the great enemy, but what they don't know is that the diplomats of the Czech principality have also contacted the British and French ambassadors.

If the USSR had not annexed Belarus and Ukraine, then Britain and France would never have sat idly by and watched the Kingdom of Lithuania take Poland, but now ......

The Polish envoys did not see the British and French diplomats, and some of the high-ranking officials with whom they were in contact shook their heads and said that they could not do anything. Things in Eastern Europe were a foregone conclusion, with the USSR getting Belarus and Ukraine, and the Kingdom of Lithuania getting Poland in the event that it needed to "pinn down" the USSR.

Poland has undoubtedly been the most bitter country in the past century, independent several times but divided several times, during the Three Emperors Alliance, before World War I, during World War I, and now, even Ernst could not have imagined that this country was so resilient, as if there was never less angry young people who wanted independence.

This time Ernst would not give him this chance again, and Ernst was indeed capable of doing so, as is clear from the few Polish cities now occupied by the Czech principality. Despite the undercurrents, the attitude of the citizens speaks for itself, and some underground cockroaches do not pay too much attention to Ernst.

The Royal Army of the Kingdom of Lithuania was very excited at this time, this was their first battle after their reorganization, with sufficient firepower, elite soldiers, and generals, it seemed that they had seen the moment of their fame on the European continent. Once the success is achieved, the same idea will naturally not appear in the hearts of ordinary soldiers, they have only one faith...... Stay alive.

The equipment of the army of the Kingdom of Lithuania is very good, not to mention light and heavy weapons, there are more than 280 tanks alone, and they are also the latest tanks of the Czech principality. The generals of the Czech principalities were also interested in this battle, and of course they would not admit that what they wanted to see was actually the effect of the new tanks.
