“Hungary’s military reform has just begun, and their combat effectiveness is not good enough. If only Romania attacks them, they may be able to resist, but if they are attacked by two countries together, I don’t think they have any chance of winning!”
In Hamburg, the German headquarters, the latest intelligence on the Hungarian front was sent here.
Since there are military advisers like Hans in the Hungarian army, they can understand the situation on the front line at the first time.
In view of the current military situation facing Hungary, the German high-level officials are very pessimistic about the prospects of the war.
“It seems that if there is no military assistance from other countries, Hungary will probably be defeated soon!”
General Bock said to Manstein in the Army General Staff, and Manstein nodded, he also agreed with this judgment.
However, since Mainz sent a military advisory group to Hungary, it is obvious that they do not want to see Hungary destroyed.
After all, this is the younger brother they just accepted. If the younger brother is eliminated so quickly, or even watched the younger brother being defeated without taking any action, then I am afraid that no other country will be willing to be their younger brother in the future!
“We have to lend a helping hand immediately. If we don’t send troops, it won’t be long before the capital of Hungary is captured by the enemy!”
General Bock was very anxious. The current situation was very bad. He felt that he had to send troops, and he needed to send troops as soon as possible!
“Berlin has not issued any clear instructions, so we cannot send troops on our own!”
Manstein shook his head. He also wanted to send troops to fight, but this kind of thing was not something he could decide on his own. He had to get Mainz’s consent.
“What should we do? Are we going to watch the Romanians and the Jieke people beat our little brother to death?”
General Bock scratched his head, feeling very depressed.
“In this way, I will summarize the recent war situation in Hungary, and then you write a forecast report on the future war situation in Hungary. I will take these two reports to Berlin to lobby the president to authorize us to send troops!”
Manstein was unwilling to see this situation, so he planned to go to Berlin to see the situation and see if he could persuade Mainz to let him give the order earlier.
……
Berlin, Himmler’s intelligence system reports the latest intelligence about Hungary to Mainz every day. He will be the first to know any latest intelligence from the front. Compared with Manstein and others who are far away in Hamburg, Mainz knows the intelligence from the front much earlier than them!
“General, the Romanian army attacked Hungary from two places. One part of the army attacked from east to west in the northern Radiya region and has already captured Debrecen.
Another part of the army attacked from east to west in the Arad region. After capturing Szeged, they immediately attacked north and headed straight for the city of Budapest. The
Romanians’ action speed was not fast, but they had more troops and stronger combat power. The Hungarian army, which had not yet completed its reorganization, could not withstand the enemy’s attack. After the initial fierce fighting, it was already showing a trend of total defeat.”
On Berlin’s side, Mainz himself also had the latest intelligence on Hungary. After Himmler introduced the situation to him, Mainz immediately realized the prospects of this war.
“What about the north? Where is the Czech army fighting now?”
Compared to Romania in the east, Czechia in the north is closer to Hungary!
Especially their border is only 50 kilometers away from the capital of Budapest. If the Czech people send troops, it will only take one day for them to be at the gates of the city!
So, after the British persuaded Czech to send troops, Hungary had actually lost the war!
Their overall strategic situation was too passive. The capital was so close to the enemy’s border that they were always under the threat of the enemy, so they had to dispatch a large number of troops to defend against the enemy in the north. In this way, the defense in the east would definitely become very empty. Although the fighting power of the Romania people was not strong, they had a larger number of troops, and they took the initiative to attack and took the initiative in the war.
So, naturally, Hungary was defeated by the two countries!
“After the Czechs occupied Vác, they stopped moving forward. It seems that they had no intention of continuing to attack Budapest from the south. Instead, they attacked Gyor from the west and cut off our railway line to Budapest!”
Czech is a country that stretches across Central Europe, somewhat like a horizontal bread. This country lacks strategic depth, but it can threaten the hinterlands of many other countries and regions.
For example, Vienna, the capital of Odili, and Budapest, the capital of Hungary, are very close to the border of Czech. Moreover, these two cities are located in the plains and are almost indefensible.
Therefore, as long as Czech sends troops to these two countries, it will be difficult for these two countries to stop their attack.
From this point of view alone, Czech is a commanding height for controlling Central Europe. Whoever can control it Whoever controls this place can control the situation in Central Europe!
The vision of the British Empire is indeed unique. They did not give the Polish independence guarantee, but chose to give independence guarantee to Jieke. The purpose is to keep such a nail at Hans’ doorstep and continue to disgust Hans!
And because of the existence of their independence guarantee, if Hans takes action against Jieke, then they may declare war on Hans. This military threat will make Hans afraid to act rashly and dare not take action against Jieke easily.
The reason why the Treaty of Murray is notorious in history is that the appeasement policy of the British Empire and the Gauls acquiesced and condoned Hans’ annexation. Sudetenland, and then annexed the entire Czech Republic, so that Hans no longer had any constraints in Central Europe. After annexing Czech Republic, a large number of countries in Central and Eastern Europe would be directly threatened by Hans!
At this time, if they want to protect themselves, they can only actively or passively get on Hans’ pirate ship! Therefore
, the appeasement policy of the British Empire and the Gauls is really a big failure. If they did not sell Czech Republic so cleanly, but continued to support Czech Republic. If they used Czech Republic as a point to stop Hans’ expansion, World War II might not be able to start.
If Hans could not take the high ground of Czech Republic, he would be under great pressure in his homeland. Under the threat of the Jake army on the ground, it is impossible to continue to expand, because once they expand, their hometown is likely to be taken over by others! The reason why
Mainz is so concerned about Jake’s movements is because he can recognize the threat that Jake brings to himself!
Compared with Bordeaux, which has no highlands, only some plains and forests, and the three low-lying countries of Benelux, these highlands and mountains in Central Europe are the hardest bones to chew.
These hard bones must be knocked down in advance before the world war starts, otherwise they will definitely become a thorn in Hans’ eyes, making Hans very uncomfortable!
“Haha, the Czechs are quite smart. They know that the focus of this war is not on the Hungarian Empire, but on our attitude. That’s why they didn’t attack the Budapest city in front of them, but instead sent troops to occupy the Gyor area!”
Mainz was somewhat amused by the shrewdness of the Czechs. Historically, after being betrayed by the British Empire and Gaul, the Czechs immediately lay down and let Hans do whatever he wanted. They had no intention of resisting at all. Moreover, after being occupied by Hans, they immediately became Hans’s younger brothers, following Hans to charge into battle and capture cities.
Unlike Hungary, Romania, Croatia and Bulgaria, Czech’s industrial strength is still very strong. A large part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire’s military factories and heavy industries are concentrated here. After the disintegration of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, they were allocated the largest area and the most industries, even more than Odili’s industries.
These solid military industries made the equipment level of Czech’s army much higher than that of other vassal states, and their combat effectiveness was obviously much stronger.
Of course, the time when they showed the most courage was when they attacked Poland. After all, when the British Empire betrayed them, the Polish people also came to join in the fun and directly sent troops to occupy the Chesin area, which caused a deep hatred between the two countries!
“General, I am worried that if this continues, Hungary will probably be destroyed soon!”
Himmler said with some worry on his face.
The situation is very unfavorable for Hungary. Even if the Czechs did not attack their capital, the Romanians would not let them go!
