Chapter 143: War Is Imminent
Chapter 143: War Is Imminent
Adolf, who annexed Austria, reached a whole new level of personal prestige at home. The weakness and incompetence of Britain and France made the whole of Germany even more fanatical. Austria was nothing more than Hitler's first step in expansion, and the bloodless acquisition of Austria gave Hitler and his socialist Germany a taste of sweetness. This is just like 918 in history, Japan got the Northeast too easily, and the ** of the entire army became uncontainable.
Hitler was the same, the army took Austria with a casual parade, this kind of thing would be addictive, so the next target became the Czech Republic. In the early morning of September 30, 1938, the leaders of Britain, France, Germany, and Italy signed the infamous Munich Agreement, which took the Sudetenland into German possession without firing a single shot. Britain and France, who are good at selling their teammates, are thinking about how to avoid war at this time, and who cares whether the Czech Republic lives or dies. No matter how hard the Czech government tried, Britain and France did not hesitate to betray the Czech Republic.
In March 1939, Hitler tore up the Munich Agreement and occupied all of Czechoslovakia without bloodshed. In response to Hitler's act, Britain and France did not take any serious measures except verbally protesting. The Germans once again succeeded in arming the march, and this time the gains were even greater. The Czech Republic is a second-rate country in Europe, but its military industrial level is very distinctive, and it is good at using second-rate equipment and technology to create first-class military products. Among them, the most familiar to the Chinese are the Czech light machine gun (ZB26) and the Czech horse four rings.
"After getting the Czech Republic, Germany boiled. Nothing can stop Prime Minister Adolf's ambitions. As the boss expected, Austria, the Czech Republic, Poland, all of them were right. "Berlin. General Bob's manor, still the same lawn, with only three people sitting on the lawn.
"What else did the Boss say?" Biel, who had a fanatical face, didn't feel the worry on Bob's face at all. As a German, Biel never imagined at this time that Germany would be defeated again.
"Fang is an amazing person!" Fang Jianxiong's godbrother Hans shrugged his shoulders with an unsurprising look. He is now the director of a hospital in Munich. At the same time, he is also the majority shareholder of United Pharmaceutical Company. This United Pharmaceutical Company is the one established by Fang Jianxiong when he was in Germany, and it is currently a German pharmaceutical company named after Bayer. Because it has been authorized for the production of streptomycin. The company is currently located above Bayer.
"The boss also said that if Germany were to go to war against France, then the Schlieffen plan could be repeated! But he also said not to make the same mistakes that Moltke made again. Britain and France were already frightened by the last war. They did not dare to do anything to block the German move against the Eastern Front. The French must have been hiding behind the Maginot Line to listen to the movement. The British army was negligible. In the end, he also said that this was the last time he prophesied about the war, and there was no next time. Bob closed the letter in front of him, closed his eyes, and said to himself, "I always felt that the boss was prophesying something again, but he didn't say it this time." β
"No matter what Fang wants to say, I think the first thing to do is to pay Fang the profits of the first half of the year." Hans snorted twice and looked at Biel with unkind eyes. This capitalist, vampire, even Fang's money he dares to pit.
A Mercedes drove up. Stopping in the open space on the edge of the lawn, Guderian, who was in a straight uniform, got out of the car and saluted Bob: "General, the No. 4 tank has completed the last test, and a qiΔ number jΓΉ shows that the use of gasoline engines can also meet the original design standards, and even the quality has been comprehensively surpassed." Unfortunately, the factory does not accept your construction, and they consider it an insult to their profession even if there is even the slightest flaw. Because of this, the only way to increase production is to increase the number of workers and production lines, and I think this is an issue that the prime minister should pay attention to. β
Bob opened his eyes and smiled: "I was told by the boss again, he knows Germany too well." Guderian nodded and said: "Yes, by the way, Your Excellency the Prime Minister has invited you to a meeting, which is said to be probably against Poland, and the intention of getting Danzig is already very clear, and it seems that this time there will really be a war." β
Bob stood up, straightened his military uniform and said, "We are soldiers, soldiers, and obedience is our duty. Go and prepare, this time you don't have to wait too long, war is already imminent. β
"Poland refused our demands, refused to return Danzig, refused to provide an extraterritorial land corridor to East Prussia. My generals, what are we going to do? With his hands propped up on a huge sand table, Hitler spoke in a very calm tone as if no one was around.
"Destroy them! Turn Poland into a province of the German Empire. Goebbels, the propagandist, said something that really appealed to Hitler's appetite. The mustache smiled with satisfaction, raised his hand and waved it very imposingly: "No one can stop the iron hoof of the revival of the German Third Reich, get ready, I will personally receive the Japanese prince." It is a pity that the Chinese side is unwilling to give up its principle of peaceful coexistence, and it is really a helpless thing to choose Japan. General Bob, do you think there is a possibility that when the German battle flag is planted all over Europe, will the party make a change? β
Faced with Hitler's question, Bob replied after a little muttering: "It is difficult to estimate, according to what I know about him, he will not change, however, he will definitely drag the Soviet Union." β
"Yes, our intelligence department has received the latest intelligence, the latest order from the Chinese Ministry of National Defense, and the elite of eight mechanized corps and twenty-one infantry corps have been deployed on the front line in the Far East and Central Asia. The focus is on Almaty and Irkutsk, where the Soviet side is seeking to conclude a tacit agreement with our country, and in order to ensure victory, some conditions can be promised to them. The last time Germany failed on two fronts, this time the same mistake must not be allowed to be made again. β
Because of China, Hitler's meeting with Prince Yoshihito Chichibu of Japan was postponed, but under the huge inertia of history, Germany, which urgently needed a navy to deal with Britain, still came together with Japan. Japan, which had formulated a strategy for moving south early on, hit it off with Germany, and the Japanese military unanimously believed that with Germany as a powerful ally, China would not dare to declare war on Japan lightly. This is a very interesting logic, Japan itself is fighting against China, and it has never thought of declaring war. What is even more interesting is that the Chiang Kai-shek government in parallel history, out of fear that the foreign powers would remain neutral after the declaration of war and refused to sell arms to China, the Nationalist government fought with the Japanese for more than four years after the 77 Incident, and did not join the allies in declaring war on Japan until after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.
The strange phenomenon of fighting without declaring it, this time and space is impossible to happen. If Japan wants to go south, it is not Britain and the United States that worries the most, but China, whose naval strength has swelled dramatically in the past five years.
British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, who was deeply aware of Hitler's deception and foolery, also seemed ready to abandon the policy of appeasement in favor of a strong condemnation of Hitler's aggression and declared his full support for and guarantee the independence of Poland. France, which claims to be the world's largest army power, has also made corresponding statements and measures to strengthen combat readiness under this circumstance.
Poland is an interesting country, with a very hard temper and super fat guts. The Soviet-Polish war is the best proof that Poland with a big palm actually dared to go to war against the Soviet Union, you say that he was not fat. With the support of Britain and France, the Polish government resolutely rejected Germany's demands, and the pace of war could not be stopped. But there was one problem, which Hitler had to solve in advance, and that was the problem of the Soviet Union. At this time, the Soviet Union and Britain and France were negotiating, and it was against Germany that they were targeting.
In order to solve this problem, Adolf sent people to make secret contacts with the Soviet Union, and Stalin, who was also ambitious, was attracted by the bait thrown by Hitler, and Stalin bit the hook. The temptation of most of Poland and the possibility of sending troops to Finland made Stalin simply unable to refuse. Lao Maozi seems to have unlimited ** for territory, which is well reflected in Stalin.
"In view of the lack of sincerity in the negotiations between Britain and France with him, and the fact that he was still courteous to Germany behind the scenes, and continued to pursue the policy of appeasement that would lead to trouble, Stalin, in order to protect the security and interests of the Soviet Union, decided to abandon the joint confrontation with Britain and France against Nazi Germany, and instead maintained superficial friendly relations with Nazi Germany, so as to gain time and space to deal with possible military operations by Nazi Germany in the future." That's what the history books say, the question is why the fuck are you sending troops to Poland? Don't you see that Germany is fighting Poland? Why did you send troops to Finland? A small country with a big fart, what's going on next to you? Isn't Finland too close to the heart of the Soviet Union? Hypocrisy, cruelty, domineering, these words are really not too much to use on Stalin.
On August 23, 1939, the Soviet-German Non-Aggression Pact was signed with Nazi Germany. Hitler was relieved of his fear of a two-front war, and was able to receive constant supplies of food and raw materials from the Soviet Union.
In Beijing, when the news of the "Soviet-German Non-Aggression" treaty came, Fang Jianxiong, who was working in the office of the presidential palace, immediately stood up, pressed the electric bell in front of him, and said very calmly: "Prepare the car and inform the prime minister to go to the Ministry of Defense for a meeting." This sentence is completely an unquestionable tone of command, according to the system of the Republic of China, the cabinet and the president are mutually balanced, and under normal circumstances, Jianxiong will not destroy this superficial balance, but today Fang Jianxiong can't take care of it. The Soviet-German non-aggression pact, which on the surface seems to have nothing to do with other countries, has actually sentenced Poland to death! Britain and France, who had illusions about Germany's eastward advance, did not begin preparations for war at all, and even if war was declared, Germany might not be able to do anything about it.
And by this time, war was imminent! (To be continued......)
