The Qilu shrouded in rain and mist, with the sound of water hitting fallen leaves, was quiet and peaceful.
Chiang Kai-shek stood in front of the window of his study early in the morning, admiring the bleak scene of everything under the autumn rain. His heart was empty, silently experiencing the natural rhythm of everything in the world changing from vigorous to weak, from lush to withered, and feeling the beauty brought by the wind and rain.
Mysterious Zen machine.
However, his calm inner lake was soon broken by the visit of two uninvited guests.
"Brother-in-law, you really have to help us this time. The second child was lost in Nanjing for some reason."
Song Ailing rushed into the study, regardless of the raindrops falling from her bangs on her forehead, making a mess on the fine sandalwood floor of the Qilu study. She came to Chiang Kai-shek with tears in her eyes and cried loudly:
"Originally, I thought Xiaojun went to play with her classmates. She usually doesn't go home for two or three days, so I didn't take it to heart... But now four days and four nights have passed.
We still didn’t see anyone, so we felt something was wrong. We called her classmates’ homes and they all said she had never been there...Brother-in-law, Third Sister is not in Nanjing now, you have to help us!"
Kong Xiangxi, who was soaked all over, was also sighing on the side, with a sad look on his face, and his pity for his son was obvious.
The public shooting of Huang Jun shocked the entire city of Nanjing. Only then did the officials realize that there was such a high-level Japanese spy hiding around them. Later, from the fourth hall and the second hall, the Nanjing Garrison Commander
Department and Secret Service
Seventy-eight traitors were found in the wide net that was cast, involving various departments in the military and political circles, especially the gangs in Nanjing. Everyone was deeply aware of the Japanese's pervasive bribery methods and intelligence spying capabilities.
of fear.
Kong Xiangxi was very worried. With his second daughter's domineering personality, if she was cleverly used by the Japanese and spies, she would have a high chance of falling into traps and traps set by the Japanese.
Chiang Kai-shek had a bad headache. Of course he knew where Kong Lingjun was, but he couldn't tell him about it, so he had to console him in a harmonious voice:
"Yongzhi, eldest sister, I know you are worried about Xiaojun, but as long as he is in Nanjing, you can't lose him. You go back first. I will ask the Second Hall, the Fourth Hall, the Secret Service and the Security Headquarters to check carefully. Even if
Even if it is an ant, we can find it, let alone such a big person? Besides, Xiaojun is seventeen years old now, and he is so smart that he knows how to take care of himself."
After bidding farewell to Kong Xiangxi and his wife, Chiang Kai-shek shook his head, returned to the window, and once again admired the scene of the wind and rain in the South. However, he could no longer enter the state of harmonious resonance with the nature of all things, and simply stopped realizing it. He immediately called his attendants and called An Yi.
Asking about Ms. Kong Er’s situation, An Yi’s reply came quickly:
"Everything is safe and sound, don't worry, principal!"
Chiang Kai-shek felt slightly reassured. Seeing that it was not early, he called his attendants to prepare the car and began a day of intense and busy work.
Wujin (Changzhou) is located in the center of the Yangtze River Delta, in the south of Jiangsu Province, with the Yangtze River in the north and Taihu Lake in the south. It is equidistant from Shanghai and Nanjing. The Shanghai-Nanjing Railway, the northern section of the Shanghai-Nanjing Highway, and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal all pass through the city.
However, since the Three Kingdoms period, Sun Quan ordered the Fudan disciples to advance by force, which meant advancing by force, and the place name has continued to this day.
In the pouring rain, in a thatched hut by the Grand Canal, Miss Kong Er opened her eyes and listened to the sound of running water. She smelled a faint smell of river water in her nose, and immediately
Thinking of where he was, he couldn't help but turn around,
Facing the simple bed made of wood and covered with thatch opposite, what came into view was a woman with her left shoulder wrapped in white gauze and wearing a pair of coarse clothes. The woman frowned slightly, not knowing what was going on in her sleep.
Which gangster should be taught a lesson?
"I have been held hostage by her for five days. In the first two days, I still had the energy to fight against it. However, as my stomach became more and more hungry, my body, which used to be fragrant every day, began to emit a sour smell.
I am no longer in the mood to watch over myself with this person.
The evil woman did something wrong, and this woman was so cruel that she picked up a whip and whipped herself hard when she disagreed. Although the beating was very measured and no bones were hurt, the heart-wrenching pain made her live in a honeypot since she was a child.
The whole body trembles when I think about it.
"On the third day, this evil woman actually knocked herself out, then put herself into a coarse trousers and jacket, and smeared herself with pot ash and yellow mud. She was sent out of Nanjing without knowing it. When she woke up, she was already
We are in Tangshan, east of Nanjing. Tangshan used to come here often, but at that time I was driving a car, specially coming to Tangshan to soak in the hot springs and enjoy life. However, the place I woke up at that time was in a simple refugee shanty town.
"The shanty town was obviously carefully planned and built in a square shape. Each shed was lined up horizontally and vertically, making it look very neat. The only annoying thing was that there were originally many toilets built in the shanty town, but some people just ignored the feelings of others and started to mess around.
***, it is said that if you are caught, the whole family will be punished and cannot go to the porridge shed at the gate of the shanty town to receive porridge for half a day, but
Habits cannot be changed all at once. Many people repeatedly reminded themselves not to violate the rules, but in the middle of the night they got up in a daze and casually let the guy go. They only regretted it when they were caught by patrolling officers and soldiers, but their appearance had already been captured by the camera.
Write it down and post it on the bulletin board on the side of the porridge shed, which will make the whole family hungry for a long time.
“At that time, I was extremely embarrassed, holding my empty stomach, smelling the faint aroma of rice porridge in the air, and felt extremely tempted.
"I used to feel that the gruel mixed with cornmeal, sorghum, potatoes, and sweet potatoes was as unbearable as pig food. But at that time, I was deeply tempted by my empty belly. I even licked my lips greedily.
Then, under the surprised look of this evil woman, she picked up a big bowl from the ground and rushed towards the place where the fragrance ladle came from."
The aroma of porridge comes from the porridge shed at the entrance of the refugee settlement. Fifty large porcelain basins are lined up. In front of each porcelain basin, there is a woman responsible for serving porridge. A porridge shed of this size
, it is said that there will be one in every resettlement site. The refugees need something to fill their stomachs. For a refugee settlement site that can accommodate tens of thousands of people, it is not unusual for hundreds of people to work in the porridge shed at the same time.
Although all the porridge sheds are managed by Anjia officers and soldiers, the people responsible for cooking and serving porridge are healthy women selected from the refugees. It is said that working in such a place, you can earn a lot of money at the end of the day.
At 2 cents, this is a considerable profit for the refugees on the way. At this time, the big cakes only cost 2 cents each. For 20 cents, you can buy ten big cakes, which is enough for a family to support themselves for a whole day.
It's been two days.
Unfortunately, shantytowns need to continue to provide shelter to subsequent refugees. Unless a member of the family suffers from a serious illness and must be accommodated for treatment or quarantine, they can only stay in the shantytown for two days before rushing to the next one.
Only in refugee settlements can we continue to enjoy the free supply of gruel.
Many women have learned to be smart. Whenever they arrive at a new place, they first report to the staff in charge of the resettlement site, introduce themselves as veterans in this field, and produce the record certificate issued by the previous porridge shack, and soon they return
There will be jobs available for 20 cents a day.
It's not just about cooking porridge. In addition, if you have a special skill, such as giving haircuts, seeing a doctor, or just being literate, you can get a job as a spiritual civilization preacher from the shantytown management station. Specifically, you can go deep into the shantytowns.
In each household, the occupancy regulations are read out to promote the patriotic spirit of An Jiajun, so that every resident can develop civilized and hygienic habits and cherish the hard-won life now.
If you don’t know anything, don’t worry. As long as you have a lot of labor, you can join the health team and construction team run by the refugee resettlement site. The health team is responsible for cleaning the shantytowns and delivering the abandoned toilets in a timely manner.
Enter the toilet and keep the living environment clean and hygienic at all times; the construction team is responsible for
When building bridges and paving roads around the shantytowns, widening the roads and paving them with crushed stones, it is said that after natural sedimentation for several months, Anjiajun's engineering troops will spread asphalt on the roadbed, and then
It is repeatedly rolled with a road roller to form a smooth asphalt road surface to facilitate the passage of passing vehicles.
The only pity is that you can only do this job for two days at most, and then you have to report to the next refugee settlement before you can continue working. However, considering that there are only two adults in a family of seven or eight, it can be done in one day.
Earn 40 cents. After deducting nearly half of the time wasted on the road, I have more than 6 yuan in savings in one month. You must know that it does not cost money to live and eat in the resettlement site, and it does not cost money to see a doctor. This money is completely
It was for free, so no one blamed him. Instead, he was grateful to An Jiajun for hosting this charity act.
In this way, the refugees were constantly and deliberately guided from the Yangtze River, Huanghuai, Qilu and Hebei areas, slowly marching towards the southwestern part of the motherland in an orderly manner. After half a year or even a year of trekking, many people came from Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Hebei and Qilu.
When we walked all the way to southern Yunnan and entered the official settlements in Vietnam, Laos and Myanmar, we were surprised to find that our family had unknowingly completed an initiative that spanned more than half of China.
Miss Kong Er didn't know that much at that time. She just felt that her chest was pressed against her back, and she was so hungry that she could hardly stand. She stretched out her trembling hands and took the full porridge from the hands of the aunt in charge of serving porridge.
After finishing the bowl, I immediately brought it to my mouth and drank in big gulps.
The gruel was cooked at a suitable temperature and was extremely viscous. Not only was there a large amount of grains mixed in the middle, but also fish particles and even animal oil and meat were added.
After eating two soups of rice, the feeling of being filled slowly came to my body, and every pore in my body stretched, as if to praise my generosity to my stomach.
After Miss Kong Er finished drinking, she greedily licked the bottom of the bowl all over, and then timidly stretched out the bowl. The aunt in charge of the spoon said with a smile:
"Daughter, you have to wait until noon. And judging from the way you are devouring your food, you must have been hungry for a long time, right? If you eat too much all at once, you will not be able to bear it. Take your time... Only An Jiajun is like this.
With good intentions, three meals a day is better than two meals at home. Girl, don’t be greedy!”
Miss Kong Er blushed with embarrassment. Before, she would have rushed up to her and slapped her twice, or even pulled a gun at her. How could the dignified Miss Kong Er, a humble refugee like you, be able to accuse you?
At that time, she just turned around silently and returned to the shack with the big ocean bowl.
"At that time, this evil woman sneered at herself, saying that she was a parasite and a vampire in society and did not know the sufferings of the world. If she had known about her bad behavior in Nanjing City, she would not have come to her door.
To eliminate harm for society. She said she hated corrupt officials the most,
She hates traitors and thieves, hates those who bully the weak, hates the incompetent officials who abandon their people to the enemy, hates the cruel Japanese, she has always been quick to get rid of such people, if
If her adoptive father hadn't repeatedly told me, she would have cut off my head and played it as a ball.
“Originally I was deeply suspicious of this statement, but then something happened along the way that made me understand that what this evil woman said was definitely not nonsense.
"On the way to Zhenjiang, seven or eight hooligans somehow discovered the evil woman's hidden beauty and followed her all the way. When they reached the deserted wilderness, they surrounded her and started to commit violence. At that time
I was so frightened that I just screamed, completely forgetting that as Miss Kong Er, I should face life and death calmly.
"Just when I thought everything was going to be over, a terrible scene appeared. This evil woman faced seven or eight big men without any fear. She took out two sharp knives from nowhere and opened her bow left and right. She didn't show any fear for a minute.
Arrive, seven or eight big men holding hands and bleeding profusely
Her neck was constantly kicking on the ground, her eyes were wide open, and she was slowly losing her luster unwillingly. But as if nothing happened, the evil woman came to the edge of the paddy field, squatted on the bed to wash off the blood on the knife, and then pulled
He continued on his way, pretending to be stupid.
"After that, I repeatedly saw her performing crazy performances of "killing without mercy" that she preached against evil-doing soldiers, bully landlords who robbed civilian women, and gangsters who took advantage of the flames of war to loot everywhere.
"The most thrilling time was when she rushed towards more than 20 broken soldiers with a large number of firearms who were robbing a village. Amidst the crackling gunfire, she dodged left and right, then approached her opponents and stabbed them one by one.
In less than five minutes, she killed more than twenty soldiers who had received professional military skills training. However, her left shoulder was also hit by a bullet, and blood slowly seeped out.
"At the medical station at the Zhenjiang refugee resettlement site, this evil woman took out her identity document and was quickly pushed onto the operating table by doctors and nurses who looked respectful. This evil woman did not even give an anesthetic injection and watched the doctor with her own eyes.
The bullet was removed from her shoulder blade, then disinfected with potion, sprayed with anti-inflammatory powder and healing drugs, and then bandaged. At that time, I was dumbfounded. Only then did I realize that the brave and fierce person in the past was in front of her.
It's as funny as a child playing house.
"Naive! How could you be so naive before? I repeatedly told myself that I must be as strong as this evil woman in the future! So, from that time on, this evil woman became my idol, although I still talked to her from time to time.
She talks back, but from the bottom of her heart, she has been regarded as the person she wants to be close to the most."
"Hey, what are you thinking about? Why don't you go get two bowls of porridge? I'm already hungry!" Just when Kong Lingjun was lost in memories, Tang Fen woke up and saw Miss Kong Er there in a daze. She stretched out her right hand and shook it.
, seeing that she had not responded yet, he couldn't help but said loudly.
"Ah!? Oh!"
Kong Lingjun came to his senses, got up quickly, walked to the shed, looked at the rain in the sky, turned around and said coquettishly: "Sister Tang Fen, with such a heavy rain, I got soaked all over from going back and forth, and there was no place to warm myself by the fire.
What should I do if I get sick?”
"You have a pig head!"
Tang Fen stared: "Didn't you see the raincoat hanging at the door of every shed? You won't put this on before going out!"
"Coir raincoat!?"
Kong Lingjun walked around the human-shaped object woven with coir grass and said in surprise: "This is the coir raincoat? I thought it was a handicraft, and wondered why An Jiajun would prepare such a thing for each shed as decoration. What is it?"
What’s the purpose, is it to drive away evil spirits or to ward off ghosts?”
"Oh, I really don't know what to say to you, you are a guy who doesn't work hard with your limbs and doesn't know the difference between grain and grain..." Tang Fen struggled to get up, during which time she touched the wound and felt a heartbreaking pain, but she endured it.
Without saying a word, he quickly put on his raincoat, picked up two big bowls and went out.
Kong Lingjun stared blankly at Tang Fen, who looked like a scarecrow in the rain, and a warmth suddenly rose in his heart. Although she was still as cold as ice to him, he could realize that she no longer had the initial hostility towards him, and regarded him as a
Treated like a sister.
Perhaps, coming out this time is not as bad as imagined. At least I understand what a real hero is. In the past few days, I have heard many stories about An Jiajun from this evil woman, especially about killing Japanese in the Shanghai Concession.
That time, the evil woman's beaming look is still fresh in my memory.
Hearing that she had killed nearly two hundred Japs and chopped off nearly two hundred heads by herself, she felt a chill. What kind of hatred could she be so crazy about? At this moment, she suddenly felt sorry for her former self.
I felt disgusted by what I had done. Compared with this evil woman, I looked so ignorant, and how pale and ridiculous my behavior was!
Shanghai, Wujing Town.
Early in the morning, An Yi, who was traveling in a simple vehicle, took Song Meiling and Kong Lingyi to Wujing in the rain to observe the Japanese fortifications in Pudong at close range.
In the past few days, while An Yi was recuperating, Soong Meiling went to the stations of the 24th Army and the 26th Army to express condolences to the frontline officers and soldiers. Worried about Soong Meiling's health, An Yi sent an expert medical team to take care of her and requested
She was not allowed to speak for more than half an hour at a time. Song Meiling knew that An Yi was doing it for her own good, so she readily agreed.
It was planned that An Yi would come to Wujing today to investigate the Japanese defenses. There might be a spectacular scene of thousands of guns firing. Song Meiling was curious and wanted to come with him. An Yi couldn't refuse at the time, but it was still not dawn today.
Then he went out quietly. Unexpectedly, Song Meiling took precautions against this move and blocked the entrance of Guyi Garden with her niece Kong Lingyi. An Yi had no choice but to take the two of them with her.
Entering the frontline headquarters building of the 26th Army, Xia Jian and Deng Bin, together with the generals of the 26th Army, solemnly saluted Song Meiling and An Yi. An Yi nodded in response, strode to the third floor, raised his telescope,
Looking towards Pudong.
After nearly four months of non-stop construction, Pudong, shrouded in smoke, has completely turned into a steel fortress. Not to mention other things, just from the dense trenches and barbed wire fences through the telescope, you can see the following:
The Japanese army in Pudong not only deployed barbed wire fences, but also tied hoofs, twisted wires, wire fences, snake-shaped nets and random wires. There were twenty or thirty kinds of named wire obstacles, and they were all visible at the moment.
The display is complete, coupled with the cold light flashing in the trenches, it can be imagined that the bottom of the trenches are equipped with things such as steel needles and nails, in order to prevent the attacking infantry from attacking.
A place to stay, and when facing tanks, it became an insurmountable anti-tank trench, and An Yi firmly believed that in those flat areas where nothing seemed to be laid out, they must be minefields carefully laid out by the Japanese army. Even if they were built by the Japanese
Since the fortress firepower points in the rear did not fire, it would take two or three days for the attacking tanks and infantry to pass through the several kilometers deep area east of the Jinhui River.
"Damn it, isn't it said that the Japanese army is good at offense and is a complete mess in defense? Why are the fortifications built so horribly?"
An Yi put down the telescope and said to Xia Jian who was standing aside.
"This should be the work of the British or the French."
Xia Jian said with some uncertainty: "At the beginning of last month, a group of white devils came. They ordered a group of brown-skinned and extremely short people to be responsible for the layout and construction of this section of fortifications. Since a third country was involved,
It was difficult for us to open fire, and then we watched the defense system slowly build up and take shape. Those white devils probably personally participated in the trenching operations during the last European War. The old stuff from twenty years ago, coupled with the strong fortifications, was enough.
It has become a solid line of defense to block our attack."
An Yi nodded.
Xia Jian was right. No troops could rush straight through this dangerous defensive zone. The anti-tank guns and mines buried in the soil behind the barbed wire fences, trenches and fire points of the fortress were definitely not decorations, even if they were
The high-speed maneuverability and strong assault capability possessed by the armored and tank units of the New Second Army have no place here.
Of course, everything has shortcomings. No matter how strong the fortification is, if it is just defensive, it is just a thing waiting to be bombed!
An Yi believes that as long as a sufficient number of heavy artillery groups are concentrated and concentrated firepower bombards the same area, these barbed wire fences, trenches and minefields will be destroyed in a short time. Those seemingly solid permanent firepower points are not indestructible.
The same effect can be achieved by using a large-scale bomber group to bomb. After all, this is not a mountainous area, but a flat and open Pudong plain. As long as the Jinhui line of defense can be torn apart, the entire board will be destroyed.
The chess game is considered alive.
Of course, while attacking, one must also prevent attacks from surface naval guns, but An Yi has reason to believe that under the threat of his own fortress guns, the Japanese army's expensive warships will definitely not dare to engage in bombardment with their own fortresses.
Eat your opponent inch by inch, and the final victory will belong to you.
Xia Jian guessed An Yi's thoughts and took the initiative to introduce: "A week ago, our artillery conducted an experiment in which a cannon was fired directly at a reinforced concrete bunker at the newly built artillery test site in Liantang. If a 76mm cannon uses armor-piercing projectiles, it can fire at a distance of 500 meters.
, capable of penetrating 500 to 600 mm
With its reinforced concrete structure, the direct fire effect of the 120mm howitzer is slightly better than this data, and the direct fire effect of the 150mm howitzer is better than the direct fire. The 150mm heavy cannon equipped by the Second Artillery Corps can penetrate 800 to
1200 mm reinforced concrete structure.
"However, according to our calculations, in the fortress complex built by Japan, the thickness of the reinforced concrete on the front of many strongholds exceeds two meters, which is 2000 millimeters. The top cover of many fortifications cannot be chewed by 150mm cannon shells, which is 203mm.
The heavy cannon shells can withstand several rounds!
"The terrain in the Pudong area is suitable for bomber operations, but the roof of Japanese fortifications can generally withstand a direct hit from a 250-kilogram aerial bomb. We all know that the penetration and destructive power of artillery shells of the same weight are much greater than
For aerial bombs, hit speed plays a decisive role. To directly hit point targets, air power can only rely on dive bombers to drop bombs at low altitudes, and the speed imparted to bombs cannot be compared with large-caliber artillery shells falling at large angles.
Yes, although the charge of bombs is generally more than that of artillery shells of the same weight, and although high-altitude bombing can achieve similar penetration effects, the hit rate is very poor, and it all depends on luck. And the Japanese army on the Pudong front line
Anti-aircraft fire density, purposeful
As you can see, this can be seen from the fact that during this period we have frequently carried out harassment operations against the Japanese army, but often failed. In this case, whether we can break down the defense of the Japanese army's fortress will directly determine whether the attack we launch will be successful.
It can work.”
Song Meiling and Kong Lingyi had long been shocked by the dense fortifications built by the Japanese on the other side of the Huangpu River seen through the telescope. Then they heard Xia Jian's complicated explanation and felt dizzy. An Yi quickly asked the accompanying doctors and nurses to
He took Song Meiling to his room on the first floor to rest.
An Jiajun has a habit of automatically leaving a room empty no matter where the corps or division-level troops are stationed. This is to facilitate An Yi to have a place to stay when he conducts in-depth inspections at the grassroots level of the army.
Yi also criticized this special move, but then he insisted on doing it when he saw it several times, so he let it go.
After Song Meiling went down, An Yi lowered his voice and asked: "Are our rocket launchers useful against these fortresses? And what about our napalm bombs?"
Xia Jian shook his head: "After testing, the rocket launcher is indestructible against tanks, and it also poses a great threat to small auxiliary bunker fortifications. However, it cannot penetrate these thick reinforced concrete. As for napalm bombs, due to the burning
There is at least a distance of more than two meters between the part and the inside of the bunker, so there is no way to cause any damage to it. I think we can only rely on the 203 heavy cannon to continuously bombard the Japanese fortress. If one shot is not enough, then two will be fired until the Japanese defense line is completely torn apart.
.”
"In this way, it is no longer necessary for me to concentrate the 150mm cannon group to cover the Japanese Pudong defense position with artillery fire today. The weather has not been good today, it has been raining, and the bombers cannot take off and land safely...especially the teacher's wife.
Here, she is pregnant and it is not good to be hit by violent sound waves... Let's do this
Come up with an action plan. Now our mosquito bombers have passed the review and acceptance of the aviation center of the institute. It is expected that within the next half month, we will have 120 equipped with advanced radar search, navigation and
Positioning system's new mosquito bomber group, so I plan to set the time for the general attack on Pudong on the 20th of this month.
"At that time, I will move the 44th Division to Hangzhou, closely monitor the movements of the Japanese troops on the south bank, and transfer the New Second Army to Fengxian County. In the early morning of the 20th, our mosquito bomber group will carry a large number of 250kg or even 500kg
level high-explosive armor-piercing projectile against Pudong
Carry out carpet bombing, giving priority to bombing the Japanese airport, and then bombing the Japanese military front line at Jinhui River. The operations after dawn will be jointly handled by your 26th Army and the New Second Army, with the Second Artillery and the Fortress Artillery Group
I will help you to overcome difficulties." An Yi said solemnly.
Xia Jian was overjoyed: "Number 20? That's great. I've been suffocating my resentment for a long time. I have to teach little Japan a lesson this time. By the way, boss, are the mosquito bombers reliable?"
"Reliable, this mosquito bomber named B1 uses the latest twin-engine high-horsepower engine, its speed has reached a record-breaking 625 kilometers per hour, even faster than our A27 fighter jet. Due to the cancellation
The turret design of the weapon system only retains two 23mm cannons, plus the crew consists of
Six people are reduced to two. The normal load capacity of B1 is up to 2,000 kilograms. Under this load-bearing capacity, it can still reach the maximum speed. If it is loaded with a 3,000 kilogram bomb, the speed is reduced to 500 kilometers per hour. Tell me, if
Can such high-speed bombers be dispatched at night and use the Japanese anti-aircraft firepower to do anything to us?"
Xia Jian was greatly impressed and looked forward to the general offensive scheduled to begin on the 20th.
In the afternoon, Liu Qing received news that shocked An Yi: at 7 a.m. on November 4, Berlin time, the German Army captain marched straight in and suddenly occupied Austria.
An Yi quickly transferred the relevant cables, and Zhang Yintong, the head of the German intelligence system, collected all the intelligence about Germany and Austria, allowing An Yi to completely connect the whole thing together.
As early as Hitler's first year in power, the German Nazi Party began to carry out political activities in Austria. In July of the following year, the Nazi Party in Vienna instigated a rebellion and assassinated Austrian Prime Minister Dollfuss. By July of last year, Germany forced Austria to sign the
After signing the "German-Austrian Agreement", Austria was asked to guarantee that in its foreign policy it would always act in accordance with the principle of recognizing it as "a Germanic country", and stipulated in the secret clause that the German and Austrian Nazi parties should participate in the Austrian government institutions.
Previously, Italy, which regarded Austria as its own sphere of influence, was strongly opposed to Hitler's attempt to annex Austria. In early 2004, when Mussolini's chief diplomatic adviser visited Austria, he reiterated: "Austria's independence must be guaranteed first."
At one point, Rini ordered four Italian divisions to march to the border.
However, with the good relations between Germany and Italy, after Japan launched an aggressive war in China in July, Italy and Germany signed a diplomatic memorandum of understanding, and Mussolini changed his position on the Austrian issue. In early August, he hoped to use Austria to satisfy Germany
Appetite British Prime Minister Chamberlain declared
, when Germany occupied Austria, Austria could not count on the assistance of other major powers. The U.S. Ambassador to France Bullitt informed Germany that Washington "fully understood" Germany's plan to change the map of Europe. The French government, forced by the appeasement policy of Britain and the United States, also expressed no intention to do so.
Interference in Austrian affairs.
By late September, Hitler saw that the United States, Britain, France and other countries were indifferent to Japan's blatant violation of the League of Nations Treaty and the Nine-Nation Pact to invade China, and the Soviet Union was facing a split situation, and finally provoked its huge ambitions. On October 2, Hitler
Berchtesgaden forced Austrian Chancellor Schuschnigg to agree to the following German demands
: Amnesty for all Nazi party members imprisoned as political prisoners, appointed Austrian Nazi Seth Inquart as Minister of the Interior and Minister of Security, and assumed police power. The Austrian government complied with this one by one. On November 1, Austrian Prime Minister Schuschny
Under heavy pressure from Germany, Georgia gave up its position as Prime Minister to Seth Inquart.
Last night, November 3rd, the Austrian Nazi Party trumpeted that "the Austrian government is surrounded by Nazi thugs" and forged an "urgent request" from the Austrian government to ask Germany to send troops to suppress the riots. Then, early this morning, the German Nazi Party
The captain marched straight in and captured Austria without a fight.
Regarding the next development, Zhang Yintong predicts that Germany will soon announce that Austria will be included in German territory, and the situation in Europe will be further violently turbulent.
An Yi was very shocked. Although he couldn't remember when Germany annexed Austria, it obviously shouldn't be at this time. Could it be that his appearance led to unpredictable changes in history?
