Chapter Thirteen: The Deadlock Between the Government and the Assembly
In the attack on Poland, the German navy was actually the first to enter the battle. As early as August 25, the German battleships "Schleswig" and "Holstein" were used to commemorate the Germans who died in World War I.
In the name of the soldiers, they entered Danzig Port, Poland's only seaport, and on September 1, they first launched an artillery bombardment on a Polish army barracks in Danzig Port. Then the Marine Corps landed and cooperated with the local Nazi organization to occupy
Port of Danzig.
On the third day of the war, that is, September 3, 1939, King George VI of the United Kingdom delivered a radio speech to the country in his characteristic stuttering voice, officially declaring war on Germany on behalf of the United Kingdom. At the same time, Poland
Allied France also declared war on Germany in accordance with the agreement concluded between the two countries, and World War II officially began.
Although both Britain and France formally declared war on Germany in accordance with their agreement with Poland, they were not fully prepared for the war. Britain did not have a single soldier on the European continent at this time. The reason why it declared war on Germany was because Britain signed an agreement with Poland.
According to the provisions of the agreement, as long as any one of the three countries, Britain, France, and Poland is subject to armed aggression by another country, the other two countries will automatically enter the war.
France does have a very powerful army on the European continent, but before that, the French Army's preparations for the war were only to build a stronger Maginot Line to prevent German attacks. How to attack Germany
Saving Poland has never been considered. Millions of French soldiers sat in steel fortresses and watched quietly as a Don Quixote-like Poland was blown down by the German windmill.
Just as Britain and France were hurriedly deploying their troops and starting the war machine, Poland was already reeling under the fierce attack of the German army, navy and air force. A week after the war began, the German tank clusters had rushed outside Warsaw, and the Polish Air Force
Most of the aircraft had been destroyed on the frontline airfields on the first day of the war, and more than 500 of them did not even fly.
Most of the 35 divisions urgently mobilized by the Polish government were divided, surrounded or dispersed by German tank clusters. Although the Polish army fought bravely, they even used cavalry to attack tank clusters, but compared with sabers and machine guns and cannons, they were only
It can be regarded as a kind of venting of feelings, but it has no practical effect at all.
Ten days later, most of the territory in western Poland was occupied by the German army. The capital Warsaw also fell, and the German army also slowed down the pace of its attack. It seemed that it was waiting for something. At this time, the Soviets also moved.
Their troops entered eastern Poland on September 17. The reason was to protect the Belarusian and Ukrainian ethnic groups in Poland from the war.
One day later, the Soviet and German armies met in Brest on the Bug River. There was a small river between the two sides. No one moved forward anymore. They began to turn around and take over the Polish territory they occupied. The Soviet and German armies
Divide Poland into two parts, occupied by Germany in the west and occupied by the Soviet Union in the east. If there is no secret agreement outside the "Soviet-German Non-Aggression Pact", then the armies and governments of both sides are masters of telepathy, and they use the same vision.
Yes, you know that the other party doesn't want to attack anymore.
Poland, which became independent after World War I, only survived for a short 20 years and was once again destroyed. And whether it can be reborn after World War II like in its original history is unknown, because with Liu
Although the general direction of history has not changed due to Fu's existence, even Liu Fu himself doesn't know which lane to take.
Speaking of Liu Fu, the federal president is still in the hospital. He has not shown up since he was hospitalized at the beginning of the year. Although the spokesperson of the presidential palace appears on TV from time to time to report on the president's condition and recovery, but we don't know
Is it true that he didn’t say it or the spokesperson is too lazy? For more than half a year, he has been fooling the TV audience with one sentence: The federal president is currently in good condition and is recovering physically with the cooperation of doctors. He is not yet able to
Works normally.
If you say this sentence too often, people will have all kinds of thoughts. For example, why do you have to stay in the hospital for more than 8 months when you are in good condition? You have already recovered physically. Even if you can't work, why don't you even show your face? Originally, the federal government
There was already an undercurrent in the country because of the lack of a successor to the president, and after being fooled by the spokesperson of the presidential office, the undercurrent not only failed to be relieved, but became more and more turbulent.
The first thing that couldn't be resisted was the three federal people's representatives, who came from the constituencies of Singapore and Sumatra respectively. In August, these three representatives proposed a motion at the Congress calling for early elections, citing the situation in Europe and the world.
Unstable, the position of federal president should not always be temporarily acted by the vice president. This proposal was not passed at the Congress. Except for 23 representatives who chose to support the proposal and 15 abstentions, the remaining 341 representatives voted against it.
ticket.
But by mid-September, the proposal was once again submitted for discussion. Although it still failed to pass, the voting ratio had become 94 votes in favor, 76 abstentions, and 229 votes against. Although the opponents still had an absolute advantage,
However, the momentum of support votes and abstention votes is also very fast. If it continues at this speed, the result of the next vote may not be certain.
Soon after, Britain and Germany, which were already on both sides of the war, sent diplomatic envoys and proposed an alliance request to the South China Sea Federation. Britain demanded that the federation adopt an absolutely neutral attitude and cooperate with the federal government to fully occupy Japan and Japan after the war.
North Korea. The price offered by the German government is higher. As long as the federal government joins the German side, all British Asian colonies will be owned by the federal government after the war, including India, Burma, West Asia and Central Asia.
Regarding these two offers, the federal government did not know how to choose for a while. Since Liu Fu was not in charge of the overall situation, according to the federal constitution, this decision could not be made by Xu Zengliang, the acting president, alone. The federal government needed to put forward a plan.
, and then the final decision will be made by the Federal Congress.
The federal government was not slow to act, and quickly drafted a plan and submitted it to the Federal Congress for a decision. This plan was basically Liu Fu's previous idea. Even the South China Sea Federation group would not join. The previous plans for Germany and Italy
The original paid value will continue, technical cooperation will continue, and the federation will enter a state of war readiness to prevent accidents.
However, this proposal was rejected at the Congress. Some representatives said that the Federation should join the British side, because Italy and Germany were both dictatorships. If these two countries were to win, it would be detrimental to the current political system of the Federation.
This kind of impact, and the European market is the main export market of the Federation, doing business with democratic countries is definitely safer than doing business with authoritarian governments.
Faced with this situation, the federal government has nothing to do, because the Constitution clearly stipulates that the final decision-making power lies in the hands of the Congress. The federal government can only spend time with the Congress. Anyway, if you don’t agree with my proposal, I will not modify it.
For this proposal, you can decide whether my proposal is passed, but you cannot propose it yourself.
The first formal cooperation between the government and the Congress reached a deadlock. Without the approval of the Congress, the federal government could not start its work. It could neither enter a state of war readiness nor respond to invitations from Britain and Germany. It just went on like this. Not only
The federal government and the Congress entered a cold war, and many federal newspapers began to attack each other. Some newspapers supported the federal government, and some supported the views of the Congress. The two sides were quarreling, and increasingly
Many media were involved.
The federal government, the Federal People's Congress, and the federal media suddenly became a quarrel, and ordinary people couldn't figure out who was right and who was wrong. People who had gone to college and were educated could still rely on their own understanding to find a team to stand on.
, those ordinary people who are elderly or poorly educated, who knows Germany, Britain, and Poland? Why are they fighting? And what does their war have to do with the federal government far away in Asia? Why do the federal government and federal representatives
Is the conference still trying to bully a cow? (To be continued...)
