Chapter 1117
Mainz’s meeting with Carol II did not last too long, and the secret meeting ended quickly.
However, no one knew what the two discussed. Only Ribbentrop saw that when Carol II left the City Palace, his face was pale and his calves were trembling. He didn’t know what had happened to scare the child so much. Compared with the Romanians, Hungary was not treated so well.
After the Soviet army invaded the territory of Hungary, the regent Miklos Horthy immediately flew to the empire.
He really had no confidence in his own army, and the lessons of the Romanians were before him. If he didn’t escape before the Soviet army attacked, he would most likely have no chance to escape.
However, this act of abandoning the country and running away made the head of state very unhappy.
“Horthy, do you admit your guilt?”
After Horthy’s plane landed at the airport outside Berlin, a large number of SS soldiers with live ammunition immediately surrounded his plane and disarmed his guards and captured them.
“Foreign Minister Ribbentrop, what are you doing?”
Horthy walked out of the ladder and saw a row of gun muzzles pointing at him. He was so scared that he almost fell off the ladder.
“What to do? You should know better than me!”
Ribbentrop looked at the other party with a sneer, with no intention of giving him face.
Before today, perhaps when dealing with the other party, Ribbentrop might be a little more polite to him because of the other party’s relationship with the regent of Hungary.
But after today, he will not be like this.
Because the regent of Hungary will become history from now on, and even the country of Hungary will become history.
The empire will take over Hungary directly, just like it annexed the Kingdom of Bohemia before.
Central Europe is too important to the empire. Instead of handing it over to these cowardly and incompetent rats, it is better for the empire to take action itself. In that case, it may bring a better life to the local people.
“Miklos Horthy, you are suspected of abandoning your country and its people and running away just to save your life. You are formally arrested for treason. If you have anything to say, save it for the court!”
Ribbentrop waved his hand, and several burly SS soldiers rushed up, directly lifted up the frightened Horthy, and stuffed him into a black armored vehicle. After being dragged halfway by the SS soldiers, Horthy finally reacted, shouting and struggling violently, trying to get rid of the SS soldiers’ restraints.
“You can’t do this to me, I’m the regent of Hungary and I enjoy diplomatic immunity!”
“You can’t do this to me!”
“I want to see the Führer, take me to see the Führer!”
……
However, no matter how he struggled or shouted, Ribbentrop ignored him.
“”Stop making noise, shut his mouth, don’t let him scream here!”
But the other party’s pig-killing scream was so harsh that Ribbentrop became a little impatient after hearing it.
After receiving the order, an SS soldier swung the rifle in his hand and smashed it hard on the back of Horthy’s head with the butt of the rifle, knocking him unconscious.
Looking at the bloody Horthy being dragged away like a dead dog, Ribbentrop’s heart was full of contempt.
This guy really deserves it!
If he still has a little sympathy for Carol II, then he has only disgust for Horthy, the fat and big-eared guy!
Romani was defeated in isolation and sudden attack. No matter how romantic and licentious Carol II was in normal times, at least he persisted until the last moment, until his country’s They fled only after the capital was breached.
Horthy’s situation was completely different from that of the other side. Not to mention that the Soviet army had not yet attacked Budapest, the Third Reich’s attitude towards them was completely different from that towards Romani.
Before the Soviet army entered Hungary, the Führer had already ordered General Guderian to lead the team to rush to Hungary for emergency assistance.
With Guderian’s speed, the First Army will arrive at the battlefield soon, and as long as they block the first wave of Soviet attacks, the Seventh Army and the Twelfth Army will follow closely behind to reinforce the scene. By then, let alone saving Hungary, the German army might even launch a counterattack and drive all the bears back home!
In this case, Horthy only needs to stay in Budapest for a few more days and wait for the German reinforcements. There is no need to Why flee in such a panic?
His hasty escape will bring about extremely bad consequences.
Let me ask, if the king of a country has already fled, then what do the officials and soldiers under him feel? They will probably think that since even the regent has fled, the country must be hopeless. In this case, why should they resist? They might as well run away or surrender to the Russians!
Once such a thing happens, the entire Hungary will be defenseless against the Russians!
Without the interference and obstruction of the Hungarian army, the Soviet army will surely be able to capture the city of Budapest at a very fast speed!
Although Guderian’s First Army is very fast, they have to cross the Alps after all, and they also have to cross the entire Audili.
In this case, it is hard to say whether they can reach Budapest before the Soviet army!
Once Budapest falls into the hands of the Soviet army, even if Guderian’s First Army arrives at the battlefield, it will be difficult to take it back from the Soviet army.
Even with this city as a support, the Soviet army may take the initiative to attack in order to eat or severely damage Guderian’s First Army before the German reinforcements arrive!
And if Guderian does not notice it in advance, or if there is any negligence, it may lead to disastrous consequences.
And this is the real reason why the head of state is angry!
Horthy, this guy, just to save his own life, made such a move, which not only affected Hungary itself, but also affected the entire strategy of the Third Reich!
It can be said that this is a rat shit, which spoiled the whole pot of porridge!
