After the Munich Agreement was signed, it seemed that all the major powers in Europe were caught in a carnival atmosphere.
In France, when Prime Minister Daladier appeared at the door of the cabin, what he saw was a real sea of cheers. The crowd kept shouting "Peace! Peace!", "Long live Daladier!", "Long live peace."
!", "Long live France!" In addition, there were many girls standing on the balcony of the Lafayette Museum waving the small flags in their hands.
In Spain, Franco, who had just ended the civil war, was hailed as the hero who restored Spain's glory. His supporters took the lead in shouting in Madrid's Freedom Square, "Franco is the hope for Spain's rise, making Spain the first in modern times."
Standing on the international stage and influencing the situation with one's own will for once."
In Italy, Mussolini’s special car returned home through the Brenner Pass. Mussolini’s son-in-law, Count Ciano, recorded: “From Brenner to Rome, the leaders were treated from the king to the peasants.
The welcome is like nothing I have ever seen.”
In England, at Heston Airport, what awaited Chamberlain first was an invitation from His Majesty King George VI: "I am sending this letter to you by my Lord Chamberlain, asking you if you can come directly to Buckingham Palace so that I can personally address you
I would like to express my heartfelt congratulations on your successful visit to Munich."
"At the same time, this letter expresses the warmest welcome to you, who for your patience and determination has won the eternal gratitude of your compatriots throughout the Empire."
The member of the royal family who sent the invitation letter to King George VI took the opportunity to see the declaration agreement signed by Reinhardt. He was filled with joy and found something to brag about in the future.
The streets of Berlin, Germany, are covered with celebratory posters praising the Führer for unifying the German region and achieving great achievements. Many upright and young Germanic beauties regard Reinhardt's image as the standard for their dream lovers.
The propaganda agencies of the Third Reich were at full capacity, and many articles praising the Führer were published one after another through social workers' newspapers. Many commemorative stamps with wet ink also sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
On this day, more than 90% of the Germans in Europe joined the same country - Germany. This country that lost the First World War took 20 years to reappear as a powerful country in Europe.
In front of people, I have to say that the Germans created a miracle!
Facing Germany, the arrogant and conceited Italy chose to cooperate on an equal footing, while the glorious and powerful France chose to give in and compromise. The arrogant and powerful empire on which the sun never sets is now working hard without complaining!
While countries are celebrating that Europe is about to peacefully resolve this ethnic dispute, Poland, Europe's fifth military power, which attempts to expand and achieve the "Helsinki-Bucharest Axis" strategy, is also trying to fish in troubled waters.
As a country that had an alliance treaty with France, mainly against Germany, it actually sent three main divisions of troops to threaten the border of Czechoslovakia, another French ally, when Germany launched its troops in Czechoslovakia.
As a result, the Czechoslovak government directly lost the confidence to resist. It could only deal with Germany, which had a terrifying military strength, plus Poland, which ranked fifth in military strength in Europe. This made Czechoslovakia, rated the seventh military power in Europe,
, how to show the courage to fight.
Therefore, only on the third day after the five major powers decided to sign the Munich Agreement, which was also the day after Poland sent troops to threaten Czechoslovakia to hand over its "Polish homeland", the Czechoslovak government issued a statement announcing that it would accept the Munich Agreement.
Make sacrifices for peace in Europe.
On the same day, behind the back of all other European countries, including its ally France, Poland signed the "Cesin Transfer Treaty" with Czechoslovakia alone, taking over Cesin, the area that Poland had been trying to invade.
But when the French ambassador asked the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, "Why do you want to take advantage of the situation, ignore the opinions of French allies, and secretly exacerbate the chaos in Europe?"
Karlsas, the deputy minister of the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, argued arrogantly: "Czechoslovakia will inevitably disintegrate anyway, and Poland will take the opportunity to recover its lost territory. This is Poland's interest. Let Poland strengthen and expand in this way and become an intermediary.
As the leader of the Eastern European neutral group between Germany and Russia, this is France's interest. Therefore, the behavior of the Polish government is a very responsible performance towards the Polish-French alliance."
In addition, the Polish government also fully supports Hungary in the south to return the territory occupied by Czechoslovakia.
For Poland, all it cares about is the elimination of Lucinia as the potential center of Ukrainian nationalism. If the province is recovered by Hungary, the Hungarian government's occupation can eliminate this pro-Soviet hidden danger for Poland.
And how could the anxious Czechoslovak government issue a strong resistance at this moment? As a result, Hungary also regained the border it once had on the Carpathian Ridge from Czechoslovakia.
Seeing the Czechoslovak government's compromises time and time again, the Polish dictator Piłsudski, who had always had the ideal of dominating Central Europe, suddenly started thinking about "expanding territory."
This lifelong Polish commander who advocated cavalry combat theory, after "full and reasonable discussions", ordered the Polish Army to take three cavalry divisions as the lead and invade the chaotic Czechoslovakia in one fell swoop to open up territory for Poland.
In order to show Poland's demeanor as a great power, Piłsudski also issued an ultimatum to the Czechoslovak government 48 hours before the attack, asking it to give up its fearless resistance.
It's a pity that the Polish government's great-power demeanor was not recognized by the international community, but its greedy and selfish nature was clearly seen. Poland, which had regained its former territory, not only did not stop, but instead stimulated greater ambitions, starting from
With the intention of destroying the country, they tried to completely erase the country of Czechoslovakia from the map of Europe.
"Get Long to Hope Shu", if even one of the Polish leaders has studied this famous ancient Chinese story, they will understand how unseemly such greedy behavior is for Poland with mediocre strength.
Without strong military and economic support, the Polish government actually tried to conquer a European power by force on its own. Even if this power was Czechoslovakia, which had been frequently compromising recently, it was not feasible.
In terms of the modernization of the army, the Czechoslovak Army is one level higher than the Polish Army. Czechoslovakia's use of armored forces is by no means an enemy that completely abandons armored divisions and only focuses on cavalry divisions. Poland can easily defeat the enemy.
Furthermore, Czechoslovakia's recent defeats were all political defeats. Its elite army of more than 700,000 people has not lost a single soldier.
However, the Polish dictator Piłsudski did not think so. In his opinion, the Polish cavalry could not even defeat the Soviet Union, let alone a "small country" like Czechoslovakia with a land area less than one thousandth of the Soviet Union.
, Poland also has this arrogant capital.
Unfortunately, it is not just the Polish family that has the chance to visit Shu.
Only six hours after the Polish government issued the ultimatum, Czechoslovakia's Socialist Workers' Party representative Tisso followed Reinhard's instructions and asked Germany to "protect Czechoslovakia" from Poland. So he had already done so
The well-prepared German 3rd Armored Division quickly moved into Prague and occupied the entire Czechoslovakia.
The aggrieved Polish government announced in the early morning of the next day that the Polish military operation was cancelled. The three leading Polish cavalry divisions withdrew from their attack positions on the border in dejection.
