Chapter 872: Begging for death
Ripintroop is good at crafting. He married Annalis Henkell, daughter of Henkell, the daughter of Henkell, the German champagne wine manufacturing king, and entered the upper class. He also adopted the aunt who had the aristocratic title, so he had the prefix of the aristocratic name.
Ripin Tropp is very good at women, and his story with Wallace Simpson is almost known.
Walice Simpson is the wife of King Edward VIII of England. Edward VIII voluntarily gave up the throne to marry her and became a typical example of "not loving the country and loving beauty."
During Carol's visit to Germany, it was rumored that Ribbintrov had hooked up with Carol's mistress Elena, so Georgi called Carol a "coward who only hiding in women's crotch."
Carol was very angry and decided to use force to teach Georgi a lesson, but was stopped by Young Antoniscu.
Romania's military strength is indeed stronger than that of the Greek Kingdom.
But between Romania and Greece is separated by Yugoslavia, and Romania is going to send troops, either through Yugoslavia or through the Bosphorus, which is controlled by Russia.
Not to say whether Yugoslavia will give way.
Considering that the situation in Europe is becoming increasingly tense, Russia will definitely not allow war to break out within the Balkans.
"This bastard! I will kill him sooner or later!"
Carol hated his former brother-in-law to the core.
Yang Anthonyscu looked at Carol with a slightly cold look.
Carol gave up the throne twice for women, loving beauty but not the country more than Edward VIII.
Yan Antoniscu hopes that the Kingdom of Romania can get rid of its dependence on Russia and be independent.
I don't want to fight with Russia.
Compared with Young Antoniscu, who is loyal to the interests of the Kingdom of Romania, Carol only loves himself and has never considered the future of the Kingdom of Romania.
After Germany announced the abolition of the German-Poland Non-Aggression Treaty, the situation in Europe further deteriorated.
Champion tried hard to avoid the outbreak of the war and launched a shuttle diplomacy between Germany and Poland.
Finally after Germany, the Kingdom of Hungary also began to mobilize, and everyone except Chamberlain had heard the footsteps of the war.
On August 29, Germany issued a diplomatic statement that in addition to protecting Germans in Poland, Germany also wanted to recover Danze and the Polish Corridor.
The previous German appeal was only to build highways in the Polish corridor.
Germany did not refuse to negotiate with Poland, but asked the representatives of the Polish government to arrive in Berlin within one day, otherwise the door to negotiations would be closed.
This request caught the Poles off guard. Although the Polish government held an emergency meeting overnight, the negotiating officials sent by Poland still did not arrive in Berlin within the time required by the German government.
On the 30th, the German government announced through a broadcast that the Polish government rejected the German government's request and the negotiations were completely broken.
At 4:00 p.m. on the 31st, Xiaomouzi issued a combat order to the German army, and the attack will begin at 4:45 a.m. on the 1st.
At 4:45 am on September 1, 1939, the German bomber group was first dispatched to bomb key facilities in Poland.
The Polish army was unprepared and one of the few fighter jets was destroyed in the hangar before they could take off.
At 6 o'clock, 44 German divisions launched ground attacks towards Poland from the north, west and southwest directions.
Russia had expected Germany's attack, and George's secretary did not even call George up as soon as the German army launched an attack. George only realized that the war had broken out after he woke up.
The German army was very fast, pushing towards the abdomen of Poland at a speed of 50-60 kilometers per day.
The responses of Britain and France were slower than George thought, and it was not until the 3rd that Britain and France issued ultimatums to Germany respectively.
Britain and France demand that Germany immediately stop attacking Poland, otherwise Britain and France will declare war on Germany.
The mustachy beard was at this time in the excitement of conquering Poland, and ignored the warnings of Britain and France.
At 8 o'clock in the evening, Britain and France declared war on Germany, and World War II officially broke out.
Surprisingly, although Britain and France had declared war on Germany in compliance with the agreement with Poland, they did not organize an attack on Germany.
It is understandable that there is no movement in the UK.
France did not move anyway, which was indeed very puzzling.
The UK has been working hard to develop its navy before and has not mobilized at all. It will take at least 6 months from issuing a mobilization order to completing the mobilization.
France has hoarded 600,000 troops on the Maginot Line. If France launches an attack on Germany at this time, then Germany will have to draw troops from Poland.
During the last World War, it was precisely because of Russia's active attack that forced Germany to draw troops from the Western Front that the British and French coalition forces escaped and withstand the German attack.
Bedang is just bad, not stupid.
So, George was not surprised that this happened.
What George couldn't help was that the Russian army arranged on the Russian-Polish border did not cooperate with the German army's plan to launch an attack on Poland and divide Poland.
Polish troops stationed near the border fired at the Russian military camp.
George really couldn't understand why?
"We have to join the war now-"
Vasily couldn't wait.
"This must be a conspiracy between the British and French!"
Dermit's words meant that Britain and France probably wanted to drag Russia into the water.
"Warsaw is ready for attack."
Andre was very angry. The bombardment of the Polish army injured two people in the Russian army. One person twisted his feet, the other fell off the bed, and broke a front teeth. "Then let's start!" Since Poland is determined to die, George goes with the flow.
If you talk about the strength of the Poles, they are actually quite good. They not only have fighter jets, but also have more than 800 armored combat vehicles.
Unfortunately, Polish aircraft and armored combat vehicles were both ancient models produced during the last World War, and their performance was seriously lagging behind compared with German fighter jets and armored combat vehicles.
The German attack troops included 7 armored divisions, 4 light armored divisions, and 4 motorized divisions.
Gudrian's lightning tactics have been fully verified. The 19th Armored Army under his command is affiliated with the 4th Army of the North Road Army Group, and has an armored division, 2 motorized divisions and 1 infantry division.
Three days after invading Poland, the 19th Panzer Army commanded by Guderian annihilated three infantry divisions and one cavalry brigade of the Polish army, and only 150 people were killed and 700 were injured.
Faced with the German blitzkrieg, the Polish army was defeated and completely unable to resist. A large area of land fell and the army suffered heavy losses.
Russia declared war on Poland at 11 noon on the 4th.
The most new ⊥小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小�
As the most powerful military region in Russia, the Warsaw Military Region has four armies, each armed with two armored divisions and two infantry divisions, with a total force of nearly 500,000.
The Warsaw Military Region has a total of more than 1,000 fighter jets and bombers.
The Polish army was powerless to stop the German army's attack.
The joining of the Russian army led to the collapse of the Polish army at a faster speed.
At 8 o'clock in the morning on the 9th, the German and Russian troops met successfully near Rhodes, Poland.
The anticipated scenes of Britain and France did not appear.
There was no conflict between the German and Russian troops. The officers of the two sides shook hands with each other, and the soldiers exchanged cigarettes and spoils together, and the scene was extremely harmonious.
On the 11th, Sikorsky, who fled to London in a hurry, announced the establishment of a government in exile in London, calling on the Poles to unite and continue to fight against the German army under the leadership of the government in exile.
On the 12th, some German troops began to evacuate from Poland and head to the southern border.
On the same day, the Russian armored troops also began to evacuate from Poland, leaving only a small number of guards to maintain local public order.
The British and French could really sit still. Seeing that the German army had turned south, French President Albert Lebron decided to mobilize France.
The British mobilized only one day earlier than France.
The news from George was that the French government was holding a meeting to discuss whether to stop the war with Germany.
France declared war on Germany in order to fulfill its promise to Poland.
Now that Poland no longer exists, declaring war on Germany has lost its meaning.
Admiral Maxim Weigang, who served as Chief of Staff of Foch, suggested that France withdraw from the war in a decent way.
"How to be decent?"
There is nothing more sorrow than death in the heart.
Before the war broke out, Betan suggested that France purchase more fighter jets and more armored vehicles countless times, extending the Maginot line of defense to the Fabie border, completely eliminating hidden dangers.
Betham's suggestions were ignored, and everyone, including Albert Lebron, wanted to invest valuable funds into the unfathomable bottomless pit of national defense.
Before the outbreak of the last World War, France and Germany had a fierce arms race, which eventually led to France's losses of a generation.
There is no greater sorrow than the death of the French, and there is more than one of them.
"We can no longer be influenced by London. London hopes that we, the Germans, and the Russians will die, so that Britain can dominate Europe."
Weigang suggested negotiating with Germany.
"You are not negotiating, it is surrender!"
Col. De Gaulle, who served as vice chairman of the Supreme War Committee in Petain's General Staff, was furious and did not accept any form of surrender.
"Collection, pay attention to your identity!"
Wei Gang was very dissatisfied with De Gaulle's behavior. At this level, a mere colonel should not speak. "I am a Frenchman first, and then a French officer. No upright Frenchman can accept any surrender."
Charles de Gaulle refused to give in. "Get out! Disappear in front of me!" Wei Gang was very angry. He was not surrendering, but just wanted France to avoid greater losses.
In the last World War, both sides participated in the war, mainly machine guns and cannons, which has caused France to lose a generation.
The current war is dominated by the air force and armored forces, and it is more efficient to kill opponents.
According to what Charles de Gaulle said, how many French people can survive after the war in France?
If the French died, the outcome of the war would not matter. "Gentlemen, once we surrender, it will become a stain that will never be erased in French history. We can lose, but we cannot surrender."
De Gaulle has his own persistence.
