"If you look at those Germans, they are also in economic crisis, and they have some potatoes and vegetable leaves to eat, which one is like us? A worker sat on the edge of the cold machine and sighed, toeing back and forth with a large iron tong thrown on the ground.

"Are you sure?" a worker next to him sneered: "We haven't started work for several days! What about working hungry? If we have work, we can still have a little hope, but if we don't start work now, we will only starve to death!"

The complaining worker said helplessly: "We are also Germanic, the best people that Mr. Rudolph said, why should we starve, while those compatriots of the motherland have something to eat?"

"Mr. Rudolf is now Chancellor of Germany, and he has a way to save the Germans in Germany, but he can't save us! because we are oppressed here!" said a worker not far away, indignantly.

With an angry face, he waved his hand twice and continued: "We still have some work to do, but the Czechs in the head factory are like parasites, using the funds of our factory to save themselves, and we will be reduced to what we are now!"

"Don't say it! the foreman is here!" said a worker, whispering.

"That's why I'm here!" the foreman walked over and said angrily: "We're all like this! They still want us to sell the rest of the raw materials at the reserve price, and we will be completely finished in the future!"

"Sir, take us on strike! we won't be able to live unless we do something!" begged a worker.

"Yes, sir, we need to save ourselves!" "Sir, help us!" said many of the workers behind him.

"Gentlemen, I am a foreman! But I am a Germanic! The Germans should be united! We must return to the bosom of our homeland! We must be like our compatriots in Germany! Eat brown bread! Eat potatoes and leaves!" The foreman raised his right hand and said loudly: "We are not done! Strike!"

"Strike!" all the workers shouted.

......

"Bell, bell, bell. The phone rang rapidly, and a bearded policeman wearing a police helmet grabbed the phone receiver and said lazily and procedurally: "Hello! This is the police station! What is the matter with you?"

"Fifth Block! Fifth Block is on strike! They're rioting! Many people are holding high flags of vain separatism! We can't stand it! Asking for reinforcements! Hurry! We are asking for reinforcements!" A policeman on the other end of the phone shouted for help.

"Woo......!" Sirens sounded over the army garrison, and the soldiers ran out of their barracks and got into cars and drove into the famous city of Karlovy Vary, not far away, where they were ordered to confront thousands of agitated strikers with barbed wire and rifles, and the two sides were tense and it looked like clashes could break out at any moment.

Soon, the local Czech garrison got their heavy weapons, and two armored vehicles drove into the city to control the situation in the area where the confrontation between the two sides was most severe, but the strike still destabilized nearly half of the Czech Republic, and the whole country became chaotic.

World War I shattered a vast empire in the world called Austria-Hungary into three small European states: Austria, Hungary, and Czechoslovakia. However, there were 3.5 million German-speaking Germanic people living in Czechoslovakia, who were suddenly relegated from the main ethnic group of the Austro-Hungarian Empire to a local minority, so the national question suddenly became acute.

3.5 million people is not a small number, you must know that in 2014 the population of Austria was less than 7 million, so this German-speaking settlement has its own name - the Sudetenland.

This region, in the northeast of Czechoslovakia, next to the German border, also received the strongest support from their fellow Germans, and the Greater German Party supplied these strikers with equipment even more than the regular armies of some countries, with rifles and pistols, and even dozens of radio stations, almost a hundred cars.

Of course, the strikers and men also received a large amount of food aid, canned food, potatoes and leaves, and even "margarine", which seems to be a luxury in the economic crisis. The fact that they were not working and were provided with food made the German-speaking inhabitants of the Sudetenland, who were longing for the "motherland", even more insanely hostile to the Czech government.

......

"Orders from above! Deal with strikes and riots here at once!" a Czech officer said to his adjutant: "According to reliable sources, Germany is mobilizing troops on our border here, and if the situation continues to be chaotic, we will be even more passive." ”

"We have strong fortifications on the border, Mr. Colonel, and if the Germans go to war, they will be fiercely returned by us. His adjutant said, pointing to the border with Germany on the map.

The officer shook his head and pointed his finger at the defensive line on the border: "Here, and here! If we don't settle the riots in the country, then the troops in these fortifications will become surrounded rabbits." ”

"President Thomas Masaryk has ordered that we must suppress these rioting German-speaking residents!" another officer behind him pointed to the map and said, "And President Thomas Masaryk assured the military that Britain and France would be on our side, so it would be impossible for the Germans to attack." ”

"I hope you're right! Order the troops to start suppressing!" In the command, the Czech general, led by the command, ordered his men: "If there is armed resistance, it is permissible to open fire and return fire! But all the troops participating in the operation must be warned not to fire first!

"Yes, General!" replied with a salute.

"Go back!" shouted a Czech soldier with a rifle at a protester holding a protest sign on the streets of Karlovy Vary.

"Down with the dictator, we want to be free!" the man holding the sign shouted in response.

"If you get any closer, we're going to open fire!" another Czech soldier shouted with his own gun.

"The Germans should be ruled by the Germans! The Sudetenland is German territory! Get out of here!" a woman scolded loudly in German.

"Stand back, gentlemen, please stay calm!" the Czech soldiers warned again.

"Phew!" replied to them with the opposite saliva.

"Phew!" A German citizen screamed and collapsed in the crowd clutching his chest.

The Czech soldiers were stunned, and they turned their heads to look at their companion, who was stunned, looking at the muzzle of his gun with a somewhat glazed gaze.

"Phew!" another shot rang out, and the glazed-eyed Czech soldier was shot in the head with a bullet that passed through the helmet and sent out a bloody spark.

More Czech soldiers opened fire, some firing blindly at the windows of the surrounding high-rise buildings, some firing into the excited crowd not far away, and the city of Karlovy Vary was instantly turned into a living hell.

In April 1933, the bloody suppression of riots and strikers in the Sudetenland began, and bloody clashes broke out in the city of Karlovy Vary, in which 17 Czech troops were killed and 183 German-speaking residents were killed. The situation is further chaotic.

......

"I have heard what is happening outside our borders! I don't think there should be such a dark and terrible incident in the world! But the reality is very cruel! Our weakness has made those who have insulted our people rampant! They trample on our freedom and destroy our poor relatives and friends......"

"Our compatriots are living miserably under the rule of an evil enemy! They have the indomitable will of our Germanic democracy, there is no doubt about that! But we can only look at it like this? We are also Germans, and we just sit idly by? If we really choose to stand by, then we are not worthy to say that we are Germans! Let alone Germans......"

"Those suffering compatriots must return to our sunshine! We are willing to pay with our blood for this! Give our lives! Those evil, shameful, angry bastards! Will pay their due! Long live Germany! Long live the Germans......

"I will meet with the British and French governments and make our own efforts to resolve this outrageous incident! Germany will maintain stability and peace in the region! We will not stand idly by and watch the bad acts happening around us......

"God bless the people of the Sudetenland! God bless the Germanic peoples! May we unite against the injustices that have been imposed on us! God bless Germany! A bright future will always come......"

On February 27, 1933, the then Chancellor of Germany, Arcardo Rudolf, delivered a famous speech in the German Reichstag, which won the unanimous support of all the members of the Reichstag, and even the Nazi Party and * and other parties that had always been at odds with the Greater German Party expressed unprecedented support.

The German people were even more agitated, and the cries for the government to send troops to save their compatriots rose louder and louder, and people demonstrated in the streets and alleys of Berlin, burning the national flag of Czechoslovakia, and showing solidarity with the compatriots in the Sudetenland in the revolt.

Against this backdrop, the German government negotiated with the governments of Britain and France, and a long diplomatic scuffle began over the chaotic issue of the Sudetenland.
