"Serious is serious, what else can we do?!" Huo Qingyun sighed and said softly: "It's me who dragged you down, and the brothers are uneasy......

"What?!" Peng Chengji frowned, and snorted coldly: "Our first detachment has always been one, where is there anything that drags down and doesn't drag?!" Don't say anything like this to me in the future! ”

But isn't Peng Chengji nervous in his heart?! There is no mention of how to deal with it, which is more psychologically stressful for them! In fact, it is also a form of punishment.

The war in Shanghai is in full swing, and Europe is not calm! Hitler had already begun to test the reaction of the nations, and his first move was to unite Austria and Germany.

In fact, relations between Germany and Austria are very close. There was even a natural desire for merger between the two countries, and the early disagreement was over who would dominate Germany.

There was even a war between Prussia and Austria, which controlled Germany, and it was also known as the "German War" or "Brotherly War" in Germany and Austria.

Even if Germany won the eventual victory, there was no demand for reparations from Austria for land cession, as was the case in the Franco-Prussian War. On the contrary, in the Franco-Prussian War, South Germany was willing to volunteer to join the North German team and wage war against France for the sake of the "German nation".

This eventually led to the powerful Germany of Wilhelm I. Therefore, it can be said that the two countries naturally regard each other as their own brothers.

In 1918, the Austro-Hungarian Empire was divided, which led to the German-speaking regions of Austria wanting to reunite with Germany. But how could France, bent on containing Germany, agree?!

Therefore, in the Treaties of Versailles and Saint-Germain, they ordered that Germany should not merge with Austria. But this did not stop the Austrian public from calling for a merger.

In the early 1930s, there was growing support for a German-Austrian merger. Austria's economic downturn, high unemployment, and business slump since 1920 have left everyone at a loss and dissatisfied.

The Austrian government was also interested, and in 1931 they proposed a customs union with Germany. However, the rise of Hitler and Nazism in Germany diminished the enthusiasm of the Austrian government.

Despite this, Germany's rapid rise was also the envy of the Austrian public. At this time, joining the Nazis was a fashionable thing to do!

But Austrian officials did not want to lose their position. They banned the Nazis as an outlawed organization. The consequence of this was that the Austrian Nazi Party chose to assassinate Taorfis in an attempt to stage a coup d'état!

But they failed, and many Austrian Nazis fled to Germany. Hitler saw the time ripe for a merger with Germany and Austria, and he had long coveted the German-speaking part of Austria.

"Timo Werner. How's it going?! How prepared are our troops?! "In the conference room of the presidential palace, Hitler confronted the Minister of War, Commander-in-Chief of the German Armed Forces, Field Marshal Werner. Edward. Fritz. Feng. Blomburg said in a deep voice.

"Führer, our troops are ready! Ready to fight for Germany! Werner stood up and whispered to Hitler: "We will take back the glory that belongs to our Germany!" ”

"Excellent! Constantine, how did Britain and those damn French guys react?! Hitler nodded, and turned to Foreign Minister Joachim. Feng. Ribbentrop said in a deep voice.

Former Foreign Minister Konstantin. Feng. Because his political ideas of not advocating expansion did not suit Hitler's appetite, Newwright was sent to work as a minister.

And as Hitler's henchmen. Naturally, Ribbentrop took the position.

"My Führer! I have tried my best to communicate in this regard, and I have now obtained the approval of Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, but he has also said that we must not disrupt the order in Europe......"

Ribbentrop stood up respectfully and said to Hitler: "Führer, we need some more time to get rid of those damned Frenchmen." Now that we have recovered our army, we still need time to prepare for the Anglo-French coalition ......"

Hitler nodded and said in a deep voice: "Yes! I know, I know we need time! Damn it. I'd love to fuck those French guys first! Drag that damn train case out and smash it! But I know we still need time! ”

With that, Hitler stood up excitedly! Loudly said: "Therefore." We need a united Germany, we need our compatriots all united! Fuck that damn Frenchman! Get rid of those damn Jews! Victory and glory belong to Germany! ”

"Hey! Hitler!! "Everyone stood up and gave a Nazi salute to Hitler.

"My compatriots, my warriors! I need you to work hard, for Germany! And for our glory! Hitler swept through the crowd and shouted, "Trust me! We're going to make the damned bastards who used to insult Germany pay! ”

"Hey! Hitler!! ”

30 September, Vienna, Austria.

"Tell me, what should we do?!" In the Austrian Chancellor's Office, the Chancellor of the Austrian First Republic, Kurt Brown. Xu Shinig said to the officials of the various ministries around him.

"Those people in Prussia sent me a diplomatic note demanding that we must legalize the Nazis! If it turns out to be what they want. You know what the outcome will be! ”

But everyone was silent, and the ghost knew what to do. Kurt. Schüschnitge was born into an Austrian aristocratic family. He served in the Austro-Hungarian Empire during World War I.

And the party he is in now is called the "Christian Socialist Party". In 1933, the republic gradually collapsed due to the dissolution of parliament. After the Austrian Civil War of 1934. The republic perished and was replaced by the Christian Socialist Party as the only party in power.

"Otherwise, we want Mr. Mussolini to call for help, right?!" The Minister of Education said tentatively to Hushnyg, while the Foreign Minister sighed: "We have tried it a long time ago, but Mussolini's attitude is very ambiguous." There is no denial, and there is no affirmation to help. ”

In the early days, Mussolini supported Austrian independence for national security reasons. In order to prevent German expansion. But now Germany is no longer the Germany of the former army deprived and without an air force!

The current strength of Germany is even forcing France to strengthen and speed up the construction of the Maginot Line! Mussolini's consideration, naturally, was more cooperation.

Moreover, Mussolini has always coveted Ethiopia. Now Italy is trying to annex Ethiopia, at this point. He needed German support.

Therefore, he was only ambiguous about Austria's request. Neither for nor against. It does not mean that he does not help, nor does he say that he helps.

Anyway, if Austria and Germany go to war. That's what he likes to see. But if you get involved, it's fun.

"What about France?! What about the UK?! What is their attitude?! The Minister of Education asked urgently, while the Austrian Foreign Minister smiled wryly.

"Britain and France are now ignoring Germany's military expansion, what do you think can be done?! We also sent people to the site, and the response was similar to that of Mussolini. They only expressed their opposition, but they did not say that they would support us......"

The European powers were ambiguous about this, and it seemed that Austria did not have many allies. Everyone couldn't help but sigh. And Xu Shinig was silent for a while, gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "That's it! We hold a referendum! If the result of the referendum is the annexation to Germany, then we will admit it too! ”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and if they did this, there was no doubt that the result would be on the side of Germany! Historically, Austria had a desire to merge with Germany. Even in 1930, this kind of voice was the highest, but he and others suppressed this voice for the sake of small calculations.

If it is opened, then the consequences can be imagined!

"Do you think we have a better way than that?!" Xu Shinig smiled bitterly and said, "This can be regarded as a comfort to us!" If they all make the choice to merge, we have a way out......"

William. Miklaas said in a deep voice: "It seems that we can only do this!" Hüshnitig. You do it! ”

Austrian President Wilhelm Brown, who has been silent. Miklas glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice: "This may be our last chance, I hope the people of Austria are the ...... who support us."

The group deliberated on the details again. Then he walked out of the Prime Minister's office. And one of them, a seemingly relaxed, but actually nervous man, casually greeted everyone for a while and then left alone.

Half an hour later, Hitler thundered in the presidential palace in Berlin!

"Damn it! They want a referendum, what do they want to do?! Hitler grabbed a telegram in his hand and cried out hatefully: "These damned moths, scum! Politician! Don't they know that we are the most competitive country when we merge into Greater Germany?! ”

Ribbentrop and the others looked at the telegram and their faces were extremely ugly, and Hitler scolded Ribbentrop and said fiercely: "Ribbentrop, tell that clown!" He must stop the referendum, otherwise the German military will step into Austria! And also. That one called Hüsh Nigg must get out of here, too! ”

"Hey! Hitler!! Ribbentrop stood up and replied in a loud voice: "Your will is the course of my action!" I will let those bastards know that hindering the unification of Germany will be the stupidest thing of their lives! ”

Ribbentrop's words were not false, but in half an hour a sternly worded telegram was sent to the President of Austria, Wilhelm Brown. Miklas's desk.

After nearly two hours of contemplation, the president chose to give in. Artur. Seth. Inquart was appointed as the new chancellor of Austria.

The next day, Seth. In his capacity as Chancellor, Inquart sent a telegram: "Ask the German troops to cross the German-Austrian border in order to maintain the stability of the Austrian social order"!

Subsequently. The Wehrmacht is stationed in Austria! Received a warm welcome along the way!

The event was referred to as "annexation" by Encyclopædia Britannica and Microsoft Encarta, and the rest of the country described the event in much the same way.

But in German, anschluss is literally meant to mean "connection", "merger", "unity" or "political union". In German, only annektierung directly means "military occupation". The events of March 1938 in Austria, whether in Germany, Austria or elsewhere, are often referred to as anschluss.

In other words, the fact that the parties, neither Austria nor Germany, considered it an annexation. In their view, this is merely a merger or alliance with the same sect.

Despite what everyone says, there seems to be a tacit understanding between the two parties to refer to this event as a "merger" in their own history.

"Hey! Hitler!! "On the street, there were bursts of cheers! The German ** team walked into the city of Vienna with their proud goose steps! The cheers from the German language resounded throughout Austria!

Berlin, October 1.

Seth. Inquart visited Germany as Austrian Chancellor and signed a law stipulating that Austria would become part of Germany. On the same day, Seth. Inquart officially joined the Nazi Party of Germany.

On October 3, Austria was officially incorporated into Nazi Germany. Inquart became Governor-General of Germany's Eastern Frontier and was awarded the title of SS General. At the same time, Germany's policy of purging the Jews was also carried out in Austria!

October 4, Mukden, China.

Holding the telegram from Germany, Tu Qianjun smiled. The telegram was shredded little by little and thrown into the trash can on the side. The wheels of history began to roll, and Hitler's attempt was undoubtedly a great success.

The curtain has been opened, but I don't know how they are going to perform this drama on the stage?! The-stirring of England, the twilight of France. Or is it still an isolationist United States that is involved in various interests.

As for Japan...... A fierce light flashed in Tu Qianjun's eyes, since they came, don't think about going back! But when he thought of Nanjing, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Infighting insiders, fighting outsiders outside, this can be regarded as crossing the chairman. Once a fight against a warlord is successful, once he fights with a well-organized person who has a serious political demand and is willing to sacrifice for it, the only result for the chairman of the committee is to be defeated.

The Central Army units in Shanghai have basically completely withdrawn from Shanghai, and now the main fighting forces are warlords from all sides. It seems that the chairman of the committee knows that Japan is not easy to fight, and intends to use the hands of the Japanese to make a feud.

"Yunjiao, let's go to the Ordnance Institute to have a look......" Tu Qianjun said in a deep voice to Liu Yunjiao behind him, Liu Yunjiao nodded, and then went out to arrange the car.

Tu Qianjun, who was in the office, closed his eyes and went through everything in his mind. A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth......
