Chapter 144 The World War breaks out

A lot of history cannot be reversed. Entering 1939, Fang Jianxiong felt more clearly that Asia's butterfly wings could not help the general historical trend of Europe. The strength of the German navy was too embarrassing, which led to Hitler's failure to seek an alliance with China.

, wishful thinking that as long as it defeats Britain and France in Europe, China will join this alliance. However, if it does not form an alliance with Japan, and if it attacks Poland first and does not partner with the Soviet Union, Fang Jianxiong is really likely to maintain a relationship with Germany.

They had a tacit understanding and joined forces to attack the Soviet Union. But now, in order to gain the power of the Japanese navy, Germany and Japan are getting closer. The last bit of cooperation between China and Germany to attack the Soviet Union may be gone, which also means that this world war

The pattern has become elusive from the beginning.

"Prime Minister, the President called and asked you to go to the Ministry of National Defense for a meeting. At the same time, Minister of Interior Yang Yongtai and Minister of Finance Song Ziwen were asked to attend the meeting." The secretary whispered in Gu Weijun's ear, who was presiding over an interim cabinet meeting.

Gu Weijun stood up immediately, not caring what the cabinet ministers thought of him as a prime minister who obeyed the president's words, and immediately said to everyone: "Something big has happened, Chang Qing, Ziwen, come with me to the Ministry of National Defense for a meeting, Liangchiou is also

Let’s go together.”

The cabinet meeting was suspended, and the four cabinet ministers hurried to the Ministry of National Defense. When they got off the bus, they saw the car of Vice President Lin Sen. Lin Sen was a veteran of the Tongmenghui. After the second revolution in this time and space, he quit the Kuomintang and became a non-party person.

He participated in the election as a candidate and was elected speaker for one term. In the last general election, he was nominated as vice president by Fang Jianxiong.

"Vice President Lin is here too." Gu Weijun thought to himself. Normally, the Vice President is just a decoration. He can intervene in matters such as culture and education, health, emergency rescue and disaster relief, the Yellow River Management Engineering Department and other insignificant departments. He is actually present today.

After this meeting, it can be seen that things are going to be big.

The four of them stepped in. Fang Jianxiong and Lin Sen were waiting for them on the steps. They were still whispering something. Lin Sen nodded frequently, looking very approving. Gu Weijun was about to step forward to speak when something came from behind him.

The voice of Congress Speaker Tang Shaoyi: "Fuguo, what happened, such a big battle?" Tang Shaoyi thinks very highly of herself, and is very dissatisfied with the young reserve's former son-in-law Gu Weijun and others in high positions. So it is always like this

Showing his seniority, Gu Weijun did not argue with him, but stood aside to make way for him. Fang Jianxiong smiled at him and said, "Everyone is here, come in and sit down."

"Germany and the Soviet Union have merged, and Poland is finished. It is destined to be divided between these two countries and will be subjugated again." In the large conference room of the Ministry of National Defense, Minister of Defense Jiang Fangzhen, Vice Ministers Zhang Xiaohuai, Qi Zhenghong, Leng Yu, and Chief of General Staff Xu Shuzheng,

Deputy Chief of General Staff Wu Peifu, Minister of General Logistics Duan Feng, Director of the General Reserve Executive Division Sun Chuanfang, Commanders of the Navy and Army Chen Shaokuan and Feng Hua, Vice President Lin Sen, the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, the Minister of the Interior, the Minister of Finance, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs gathered together. Fang Jianxiong’s

The tone of his opening remarks was slightly sarcastic, with his hands on his hips and his eyes looking forward.

"After Germany annexed Austria and the Czech Republic, its industrial capabilities have been greatly improved. Especially the Czech Republic, this country's military industrial capabilities are quite strong. Some time ago, Germany had secret contacts with the Soviet Union. In order to avoid a two-front war, Germany will definitely

The Soviet Union made huge concessions on the issue of Poland. The significance of the Soviet-German non-aggression pact was that the two countries were about to join forces to carve up Poland, and there was no other possibility. The intelligence agency had grasped the circumstances of the German invasion of Poland as soon as the Soviet Union and Germany came into contact.

Plan "White Plan", this plan was completed in April. Now I can tell you very accurately that due to the tiger breeding problem of Britain and France, Germany has become a climate, and a world war is inevitable. This will be a

It’s a long and protracted war! Everyone already knows the situation, so let’s talk freely.” After Fang Jianxiong finished speaking, he sat down and waited patiently for everyone to speak.

Many people were confused by these words, such as Tang Shaoyi and Lin Sen. These two people didn't know much about these aspects before. When they suddenly heard this, they felt a little dizzy.

"President, assuming that the Soviet Union and Germany join forces to carve up Poland, how can you be sure that Britain and France will take a wait-and-see attitude?" Tang Shaoyi raised his hand to speak. At this time, he must show his presence. If it were not for the constitution, this kind of meeting would decide that the country would enter a state of war readiness.

The Vice President and Speaker must be present, and Fang Jianxiong really doesn't want them to attend the meeting. This kind of old man from Beiyang has long been left behind.

In normal times, Fang Jianxiong would not pay attention to his question, but today he must make it clear. In the past, it was the military that accelerated war preparations, but now the entire country's economic policy has begun to shift towards a war economy. The matter is too big.

"Comprehensive information from all aspects, plus the overall judgment of myself and the Ministry of National Defense." Fang Jianxiong gave him an answer casually. Tang Shaoyi was not looking for trouble. Once he had the answer, he sat still and stopped talking. As expected of an old man

politician.

"Since the military has made such a judgment and the president also means the same, the cabinet should take immediate action." Lin Sen also spoke, showing his presence and then stopped talking.

Gu Weijun immediately stood up and said: "Since everyone agrees with this, what the cabinet can do immediately is to increase the military budget. Fortunately, there is no large-scale national investment plan this year. The specific amount of additional funds depends on the Ministry of Finance."

Everyone looked at Song Ziwen with amazement. The finance minister with a strong American flavor stood up and said with a smile: "Thanks to the effective governance of the country over the years, the country's economic development has been good and the national treasury is abundant. The country's foreign exchange reserves currently stand at 10 billion U.S. dollars.

During the silver crisis, the national treasury increased its gold reserves according to the instructions of the president. If the military budget is to be increased, I suggest a covert method. You can use the name of supporting enterprise development to allocate funds to relevant enterprises and ask them to

Increase efforts to purchase raw materials from abroad. For example, Eurasia Group, Northern Group, Northeast Brothers Heavy Industry Group, Zhang Group in Jiangsu, Song Group in Wuhan and other companies related to military industry, let them come forward to take advantage of the current international raw materials

The market price is not too high yet, so we should hurry up and purchase strategic resources such as copper, iron, rubber, and oil from abroad. The Ministry of Finance can immediately allocate US$3 billion in foreign exchange reserves for this strategic purchase."

"Ziwen's suggestion is very good. After all, the war has not officially started yet, so it is impossible to persuade Congress to enter a wartime economy. However, the army and cabinet can take action first. Once war breaks out in Europe, the president will immediately submit an application to Congress, and the national economy will enter wartime.

In the current state, all-out preparations for the battlefield will inevitably lead to a long and protracted world war." Fang Jianxiong stood up and waved his right hand forcefully, with full momentum and an unstoppable wave. It seemed that he wanted to drive away those who were in front of him.

This meeting lasted for a whole day, and detailed discussions were conducted on all aspects of preparations such as economy, military, diplomacy, and propaganda. It was completely centered around a world war and the final preparations before the war. After this meeting, Fang Jianxiong

I sat in my chair in silence for a long time, having done everything I had to do. I really had no confidence at all about what this war that I had been waiting for a long time to do, but which was absolutely damning, would turn out to be.

On the night of August 31, 1939, the German army, wearing Polish uniforms, approached a small town in Glewitz on the Polish border. After successfully occupying the town, the German army deliberately destroyed the town's radio station and sent

Guns were fired in the air. Then, the German people who were listening to the radio program heard a voice with a Polish accent announcing: "Polish people! The war between Poland and Germany is about to begin. Unite and defeat the German devils and all others."

Germans who oppose our war!" The speaker was a prisoner who was forced by the Nazis to wear Polish military uniforms. He was later killed by the Nazi SS. This was a conspiracy to "Polish invade" Germany directed by Gestapo leader Haidri himself.

In the early morning of September 1, with the support of more than 2,000 aircraft, the German army crossed the border, and the torrent of steel rolled forward.

But at 10 o'clock in the morning, Hitler announced to Germany that Germany had been invaded by Poland, and Germany was forced to fight back. In fact, before Hitler's announcement, Germany had already launched a blitzkrieg against Poland. Subsequently, Britain and France were forced to declare war on Germany

, the Second World War broke out in an all-round way. Poland’s resistance was not tenacious, but within two days after the war broke out, the Polish air force ceased to exist. The Polish army, whose tactical thinking was completely backward, staged a heroic cavalry use

The tragedy of the saber versus the tank.

Two million Polish troops retreated steadily in the face of fierce German attacks. In just one week, the German army formed a pincer attack on Warsaw. After the declaration of war, the strange phenomenon of the so-called "sit-down war" appeared in Britain and France.

, the French army, which witnessed the heroic resistance of the Polish army, only sent a small number of troops to symbolize the meaning of the surname.

At the critical moment of Poland's life and death, the Soviet government submitted a statement to the Polish Ambassador to the Soviet Union on September 17: The Polish government has collapsed and there is no sign of a statement. This means that in fact, the Polish state and government have ceased to exist.

exist…….

The Soviet Union played a very disgraceful role in Poland's subjugation. The Soviet army took advantage of the situation and recovered Western Ukraine and Western Belarus west of the Curzon Line that Poland had invaded in 1921. On September 27, the German army occupied Warsaw. Poland again

Once partitioned, Poland disappeared again 20 years after its restoration.

Although the Soviet Union was not condemned by the international community after World War II in history, the Polish people will not forget that when Poland was attacked, the Soviet Union was betrayed by Britain and France and was attacked by the Soviet Union.

On the day after Poland's demise, Fang Jianxiong wrote an article in a newspaper saying: This is our neighbor, and this is the reason why we must always remind ourselves to guard against this and its ridiculous reasons for invading the weak Poland's neighbor. At the same time, Fang Jianxiong said on the radio
