Chapter Eighty-Five: The Partition of the Czech Republic

Zhang Jun, who returned to Germany, put his office in the 1st Panzer Army of the SS, and the documents about the German Equipment Department were all sent to Zhang Jun by the beautiful secretary in the afternoon to sign, and a full-scale war was going to start in a few months, and Zhang Jun had to hurry.

Zhang Jun's main task now is to integrate the production of German firearms, so that it can give full play to the maximum production efficiency, and now all the arms manufacturers in Germany are not afraid of not having orders, but afraid of not being able to complete the production tasks ordered.

In order to integrate the production of German firearms, Zhang Jun went to major arms companies as soon as he had time, visited various production lines, put forward various suggestions for speeding up production efficiency, and did not forget to explain to those arms dealers when he left, and he must invest a lot of money in the research and development of new weapons.

In short, Germany's weapons research and development and munitions production, under Zhang Jun's care, are rapidly producing all kinds of advanced weapons in an orderly and rapid manner, and the weapons that Zhang Jun attaches the most importance to at present have received strong support.

The first is the cottage 99 tank, now Krupp's monthly production has reached sixty, Zhang Jun is still not satisfied, and asks to continue to increase production, and can even hand over some unimportant parts of the cottage 99 to other factories for production, the second is that the "six masters" have also entered mass production, with a monthly output of fifty aircraft, Zhang Jun asked to triple the output of the "six masters", and the third is that RPGs and iron fists have begun to be manufactured in large quantities, and there are already advanced RPG rocket launchers, why do you still need to produce garbage anti-tank weapons like iron fists! Zhang Jun is afraid that the enemy will imitate, and in turn threaten his own tank, Iron Fist has no way to 99, he is not afraid of the enemy imitation, and when the enemy appears a large number of new tanks, and Iron Fist can't deal with it, it is when the RPG bazooka is brightened, and now there is no need to take it out to show off. Fourth, the "Black Hawk helicopter" is also beginning trial production, which is mainly due to the various detailed parameters provided by Zhang Jun, as well as Germany's advanced high-horsepower aero engine, and Germany's own helicopter research, so it is not surprising that this "Black Hawk helicopter" came out. It takes time to test a lot, find out the faults, and then improve, Zhang Jun's support for the "Black Eagle" is unprecedented, ask for money Zhang Jun to give directly, and ask people to just open their mouths.

At the same time, Zhang Jun also used his own power to purchase a large number of various minerals and hoarded them, and also reported to Hitler, asking the Führer to order a large purchase of oil and grain, and make every effort to increase the country's oil reserves and grain reserves.

Germany's economy at this time is driven by the arms industry, a prosperity, all kinds of living materials on the market are abundant, from people's clothing and expressions can be known, Germany is taking off, an economic miracle, a military miracle, under the leadership of the great Führer Hitler, just a few years out of the shadow of defeat, Germany's rise has been unstoppable.

Zhang Jun was busy with his own arms business, and the great head of state was also busy with his business, which was to get Czechoslovakia, and the neighboring countries of Czechoslovakia were also eyeing each other and preparing to get a piece of the pie.

……

The gradual occupation of many border areas of Czechoslovakia by Germany was the first signal that Germany was about to make further demands. In accordance with the provisions of the Munich Conference, an international commission was established to decide on new borders. It soon became clear that, despite the promises made by Britain and France, they were not interested in the activities of the Commission. As a result, no referendum was held, and decisions were taken by two German generals who were members of the committee.

In the end, Germany gained 10,000 square miles of territory and 3.5 million people in Czechoslovakia, one-fifth of whom were Czechs. At the same time, Poland seized the Teshen region, which was rich in coal mines, and Hungary occupied large areas of Slovakia and Lucinia. With the help of Germany, the crippled Czechoslovakia was now divided into three small parts: autonomous Slovakia, autonomous Lusinia and the Czechoslovak provinces of Bohemia and Moravia.

In March 1939, the final scene began: Hitler summoned the heads of the puppet governments of the Czech Republic and Slovakia to Berlin and asked them to dissolve their respective states; On March 15, the German team marched into Prague. Bohemia and Moravia were declared German protectorates, and Slovakia was placed under German protection. At the same time, Hitler also allowed the Hungarians to invade and annex Lucinia in the east.

Although Czechoslovakia has a good military industrial base, its population and army are not comparable to Nazi Germany, and it was not prepared for war before, but this is a secondary reason, the important thing is that Germany can obtain all the industrial minerals of the Czech Republic, coal and copper, etc., and the Czech Republic also has a large arsenal, the Czech light machine gun is produced in that factory, and Germany can also get a complete Czech military industry, which is too important for Germany.

Why is Czechoslovakia so vulnerable, you must know that the Czech Republic has 400,000 elite troops and 400,000 reserve troops, and it was annexed by Germany in a blink of an eye, the main reason is that the geopolitical environment at that time forced the Czech Republic to a dead end. Although the modern focus is only on Nazi Germany's ambitions for Czechoslovakia, in fact, due to the great changes that took place in the territory of Central and Southeastern Europe after the end of World War I, there were a lot of ethnic contradictions and territorial disputes in this region. For example, the disintegration of the former Austro-Hungarian Empire, the re-independence of Poland, the establishment of Yugoslavia, the annexation of Transylvania to Romania, and the shrinking of German territory have complicated the international relations between China and Europe.

For example, there are a large number of Germans (after all, it was the main ethnic group of Austria-Hungary) in the Czech Republic, Hungarians, and Poles, and there are Germans and Hungarians in Romania, and there are a large number of Germans in Hungary, and so on. As a result, the contradictions of various countries have become a chain of contradictions, and it is not only Germany that wants to carve up the Czech Republic, but out of their own interests, including Germany, Poland, Hungary and other neighboring countries, as well as Italy, a country that does not border each other, all want to dismember the Czech Republic, Yugoslavia has an ambiguous attitude, and Romania oscillates between Germany and the Soviet Union.

France had tried to unite small Central European countries to form an alliance to contain German expansion, even at the expense of alliing with the Soviet Union. But this effort was apparently dissolved by the respective contradictions of the potential allies. Hungary tried to dismember the Czechs after Germany, and there was a Transylvanian dispute against Romania. Later, they annexed the Hungarian-inhabited territories of the Czech Republic, taking away 20% of the Czechs with them.

Poland used the pretext that the Czech Republic was going to be dismembered anyway, so it would be better for Poland to take the opportunity to recover the Ceskhin region and expand its territory in order to confront Germany, and together with Nazi Germany to put pressure on the Czech Republic. Poland even tried to eliminate the possibility that Romania would agree to the transit of Soviet troops, and urged Romania, which had no ambitions for the Czechs, to participate in the partition of the Czechs. And that pretext for strengthening Poland was also used by Poland to explain their threat to annex Lithuania, which withstood the pressure because of the support of the Soviet Union, and because of the threat from Germany, the Soviet Union at this time was still very righteous (quite black humor, it was the Soviet Union that agreed to Germany's annexation of Lithuania in 40 years). Later Poland received the Czech region of Czechin.

The attitude of Romania is most illustrative, and the countries believe that it is in their best interest to deal with the Czechs, as they have historically done. First of all, Romania borders the USSR and there are territorial disputes over Western Ukraine. Second, Romania was nervous with Hungary, and although it did not share a border with Germany, Hungary was clearly prepared to be Germany's follower. Therefore, Romania made the decision that best served its interests: it supported Hungary's annexation of the Hungarian regions of the Czech Republic, but firmly opposed Hungary's annexation of all of Slovakia, which of course meant allowing Soviet troops to cross the border. At the same time, it was stated that the Soviet Union would firmly stand on the side of Poland when it attacked Poland, but that the Soviet Union would not attack Poland if Poland did not invade the Czech Republic.

In this way, the Czech Republic became very devastating. The Soviet Union offered to send troops absolutely as long as France fulfilled its obligation to protect the Czechs. France offered to help the Czechs and ask the British to attack Germany together, at least the Poles would have to side with the French. And if the Poles were to help the French avoid the dismemberment of the Czechs, unless the sow would go up the tree. The British, seeing the opportune moment, suggested that they had an alliance obligation only to France, and although the British did not want the Czech Republic to be dismembered, it was they who had destroyed the French Central European alliance in the first place, and they could not say what they were suffering about. Turning back to the Soviet Union, although they did want to protect the Czechs, they were unable to attack Poland seriously because they had nowhere to do it.

Thus, although the Czechs had begun a general mobilization, they expected to be able to resist Germany for at least 3 to 6 months, and if necessary, to withstand the Hungarian attack, and even had to agree to Poland's demands to withdraw them from the war, but the only condition for their resistance was that France in the west and the Soviet Union in the east had substantial assistance, both of which were ultimately only moon in the water. The straw that finally crushed the Czechs was the attitude of Poland, which did not even bother to take what they saw and openly demanded the dismemberment of the Czechs. This is the sorrow of a small country, how can the Czech Republic survive the joint invasion of two big countries, three neighboring countries with heavy troops, and two people watching the excitement outside, plus a country that is eager to help but is likely to have ill intentions? This is called the lack of diplomacy in a weak country. Eventually, Czechoslovakia agreed to the territorial claims of its three neighbors, and became a satellite state to Germany.

On March 15, 1939, the first German troops marched into Prague, formerly the capital of Czechoslovakia, and just 18 hours later, Hitler arrived triumphantly and triumphantly there. The country is now divided into many parts, but all subservient to Hitler.

German flags fluttered over the castles of generations of Bohemian kings, and Germans cheered to Nozomia

Teller Salute. But Hitler's arrival was not the same as when he conquered Austria and the Soudtai

It's spectacular. The Czechs, who did not claim to have German blood, laughed at the German soldiers,

Others hid in the streets and wept.

A few hours before Hitler's arrival, the radio announced that Bohemia and Moravia would be

It was occupied by the Germans tonight. Slovakia in the east was also under German control. The Prime Minister of this region, His Majesty Joseph Ti in the Czech President Emir? Hacha had struck a deal with the Germans two days earlier after trying to arrest him. Earlier this month, Hacha's plan to attempt to dissolve a Ukrainian self-government in Carbasso was unsuccessful. According to reports, this area is now occupied by Hungarian troops, which are fully supported by Hitler. On the evening of the 15th, a curfew will be imposed on the streets of Prague. The Ministry of Public Buildings and Banking has been taken over by the Germans. The Gestapo has a list in his hand and is arresting people everywhere.

The wheels of history are still rolling like this, and the great Führer has once again achieved great benefits without bloodshed, so the German people are applauding him.

The horn has sounded, and the pace of war is approaching.

Listen! That's the footsteps of the enemy, let's fight! My book buddy.

The honor of the Führer needs to be defended by you.

I'd rather turn into a bunch of skeletons than fight to the end! -

This is our immortal spirit! -

It is enough for the enemy to kneel at our feet and cry.

We have no way back - only an offensive! Offensive! On the offensive! ……

Tears rolled down her mother's face, and the motherland was behind her.

It's time to fight for honor, and the blood is already surging.

The last leaves on the dry branches were knocked off by the cold wind.

- Lightning tore through the load-bearing darkness in the distance,

Look--it's My Führer moving forward! Advance!! Advance!!!
