121 Axis Agreements
Prague, Czechoslovakia, Presidential Residence.
"What do you Fuhrer want to do?" Hacha frowned and looked at the letter on the table, and asked Leon's envoy, "Suddenly ask me to meet and discuss, what do I have to talk about with him?" "
"Mr. President." The envoy said with a smile, "Isn't the purpose of the Fuhrer's appointment with you said in the letter?" Speaking for the mutual assistance of our German-Czech countries, the Fuhrer wanted to bring peace and development to Czechoslovakia. "
"Mutual aid?" Hacha frowned, "Your Fuhrer is so kind and willing to help us Czechoslovakia?" "
"Of course, we're friends, aren't we? We in Germany are ready to help all our friends in need. The envoy said seriously, "And you don't need to worry about our sincerity at all, because not only our two countries will participate in this meeting, but also Italy." "
Hacha was relieved when he heard that Italy would also participate, and he nodded and smiled: "Well, I believe in the wishes of German friends." So, where is this meeting taking place? What about time? "
"The meeting is tentatively scheduled for Rome, Italy, and the start time is next Saturday, October 24th at 8 a.m." The envoy who completed the task was much more relaxed, "Of course, regarding the place of the meeting, if you have a better place, you may wish to tell me that I will convey it to the Fuhrer on my behalf." "
"Rome is good, I have no opinion." Hacha promised, in his opinion, as long as it was not in Berlin, it was easy to say anywhere.
October 24th, 8 a.m., Rome, Italy.
Lyon, Mussolini and Hacha walked side by side into the conference room and began a conference destined to change the trajectory of Europe.
But just as the leaders of the three countries were meeting, the armies of two of them began to move.
German SS Barracks, Pilsen, Sudetenland, Germany.
"Assemble Collection! Move quickly, guys! A man with the rank of lieutenant colonel shouted at his soldiers.
"Report to the commander, the first battalion has been assembled!"
"The second battalion has been assembled!"
"The three battalions have been assembled!"
"The fourth battalion has been assembled!"
"Very well, lads, 5 minutes and 22 seconds, you guys are moving fast." The regiment commander looked at the neat queue below and nodded with satisfaction.
"It has been almost two years since the return of our Sudetenland province to the motherland, and it has been more than a year since the formation of the 3rd regiment of the Sudeten division of our SS."
"The changes in the Sudetenland in the past two years are obvious to everyone! Not to mention more, let's think, damn what did we eat two years ago? "
"Rotten potatoes and rotten vegetable leaves!" "Damn moldy black bread!" The soldiers below scrambled to answer.
"And what about the past two years?"
"Fresh bread and milk!" "Oh, and sometimes beef and beer! God, I love beer! The soldiers replied happily.
"Haha, that's right, compared to the rotten potatoes from two years ago, we ate fresh bread, drank warm milk, and from time to time beef and beer!" The regimental leader laughed, "Who gave us all this?" It is our great Motherland and Fuhrer! They gave us everything! "
"Long live the Fuhrer! Long live Germany! The sound of a tsunami sounded as the regimental leader spoke of Lyon and Germany.
"But although we have eaten bread, our former brother, the people of Czechoslovakia, our current neighbor, have not! They are still struggling with the damned economic crisis! As selfless, great Germans, tell me, can you watch our neighbors suffer from hunger?! "
"Can't!" The soldiers roared.
"Very well, this is the real German!" The regiment commander nodded with satisfaction, "The Fuhrer also thinks so, so the Fuhrer ordered our 27th Panzer Regiment of the United Wehrmacht to cross the German-Czech border and march towards Czechoslovakia until our cars ran out of fuel!" "
"We want to reach every city, we want to reach every village, we want to help our neighbors and pull them out of the economic crisis!"
"All get on the bus, let's go!"
Not only this unit, but also more than 100,000 German soldiers on the German-Czech border all moved at the same moment, crossed the German-Czech border and headed for Czechoslovakia.
And at the beginning of the operation of the German army, Italian soldiers scattered in the Czech Republic responsible for "protecting the safety of the inhabitants of the German-speaking region" beganPersuading surrender, they rushed around, persuading one Czech soldier after another to lay down their arms instead of directly choosing to resist.
The Czech soldiers, who originally hoped that Britain and France could manage it, did not say a word when they saw the British and French soldiers, and Italy directly began to persuade them to surrender, which suddenly made them completely lose their fighting spirit because they did not want to clash with Germany.
Almost all Czech soldiers chose to ignore the German soldiers driving in tanks and speeding past them, quietly huddled in the barracks waiting for the next instructions from their superiors.
In this way, the strangest scene in history happened, the Czech soldiers ignored the German soldiers who entered their national territory, and the German soldiers ignored the Czech soldiers crouching in the barracks and continued to advance deeper.
British Lieutenant Colonel Mack, stationed in Czechoslovakia, commented on this strange scene in a letter to his friend: "I don't know if the German invasion of Czechoslovakia was considered aggression, because the Czech soldiers did not fire a single shot, and they all hid in silence in their barracks, silently watching the Germans' troops pass before their eyes. And the German soldiers who invaded Czechoslovakia also did not shoot a single shot, but just rode into one city after another, as if they were not tanks under their asses, but tourist buses. "
At the same time, Czech President Hajča, who was unaware of the German invasion, also believed that Germany and Italy really wanted to help Czechoslovakia in distress, and happily imagined a better future with Lyon and Mussolini.
While the three were talking happily, Ludwig walked in from outside, walked to Leon, and whispered to Leon in a voice that only himself and Leon could hear: "Fuhrer, the green plan has been successful, and Britain and France have not moved as we expected." "
"Hmm." Leon nodded, then winked at Mussolini.
Mussolini saw Leon's eyes, nodded slightly, then coughed twice, and said to the smiling Hacha: "Mr. Hacha, I think I have a contract here that you will be very interested in." "
"Oh? What an entente. Hacha asked with a smile.
Mussolini pulled a treaty out of the drawer under him and pushed it in front of Hacha.
"German-Italian-Czech military alliance?" Hacha read the above question suspiciously.
"Yes, the German-Italian-Czech military alliance." Leon took over the conversation and said with a smile, "But Mr. Mussolini and I prefer to call it the Axis Treaty!"
