On February 0, the coalition forces composed of Japan, Czech and Poland, totaling 1.2 million people, rushed towards the city of Bratislava with great momentum.
Since the city was captured by Hans’ army, the entire southern region of Czech has begun to become turbulent.
The reason why the Austro-Hungarian Empire disintegrated was that the ethnic composition within the Austro-Hungarian Empire was too complicated. In addition to the two different countries and ethnic groups of the dual system of Odili and Hungary, there were six or seven other ethnic groups in their territory, including Czechs and Slovaks.
After Czech became independent from the Austro-Hungarian Empire, they themselves actually faced the same difficulties faced by the Austro-Hungarian Empire. In fact, there are also many people of other nationalities in their territory, such as the Germans in the Sudetenland, the Slovaks in Moravia, and the Polish people in the Cieszyn region.
Although Czech’s situation is slightly better than that of the original Austro-Hungarian Empire, after all, they are not as large as the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and they are not as integrated.
���, but the composition of the four major ethnic groups in their country still puts Czech in a very embarrassing situation: in addition to Czech’s own main ethnic group, the remaining 3.
5 million Hans, more than 4 million Slovaks and hundreds of thousands of Polish people are all unstable factors in their country.
At this time, the city of Bratislava occupied by the German army is slightly smaller than the capital of Czech, Bratislava, but in the Moravia region, this city has always been the largest city for Slovaks and the economic and political center of Slovakia. The occupation here has caused the Slovaks to begin to doubt the country of Czech!
A country that can’t even protect its second largest city, is it really capable of protecting the safety of all its citizens?
Is there really a future with such a country?
At the beginning, the Slovaks were not willing to combine with Czech, but their own population and industry were not as good as Czech, so they couldn’t resist the Czechs, so they had to form a united country with the Czechs.
At this time, when the Czechs showed their incompetence on the battlefield, the Slovaks immediately had the idea of restoring their country: since they all want to cling to someone, why can’t they just hug Hans, the thicker and bigger thigh, like Hungary?
The reason why the Slovaks did not choose the British Empire is because Czech itself is the younger brother of the British Empire. If they want independence, it is not realistic to seek help from the British Empire, and the British Empire will definitely not agree. So they can only choose a country that does not deal with the Czech government, and it must be a powerful country!
And there is only one such country, and that is Hans!
So, when the coalition forces began to attack Bratislava, the Slovaks quietly sent representatives to Hans, trying to get in touch with Hans.
“Who is this Svante? Can he really represent Slovakia?”I had a little doubt about Svante Mainz, who came to me and claimed to be a representative of Slovakia.
Ten years ago, this man had organized an army to fight harassment wars in the Austro-Hungarian Empire and strived for Slovakia’s independence from Russia. However, judging from the result of Slovakia being annexed by Czech, his efforts were not successful.
Such a person should have been absorbed by the Czech government long ago. After working for Czech for nearly ten years, how much credibility this guy still has is very questionable!
“According to our intelligence, he should indeed be an elected representative representing the interests of the Slovak people, so to some extent, he does have the possibility of representing the Slovak people!”
Himmler combined the intelligence he had and gave Mainz a not very certain answer. Mainz nodded. It is reasonable to make a guess based on the existing intelligence when people’s hearts are hidden and it is impossible to see through them!
“Well, let’s contact him and find out what he wants to do!”
Since the other party has come to our door, let’s contact him and understand his intentions. There is no loss anyway!
Moreover, if the other party can really represent Slovakia, it will be of great help to weaken the plan of Jie Ke!
……
After Svante arrived in Hans, he saw countless German troops being mobilized to the front along the way. He saw train after train of military trains loaded with elite German soldiers heading to the front. These trains were not only armed with live ammunition and murderous soldiers, but also a large number of majestic and chilling cannons and tanks!
He observed that the direction of these troops’ mobilization was all to Audili, and Audili was very close to the main battlefield of Bratis at this time, so he speculated that this German army was going to Bratis to fight!
Svante had seen the strength of the German army when he was in Slovakia. They recaptured the Vác area in just one day, broke through the direction of the Jake army in two days, and entered the Slovak area. In three days, they had already captured Bratis and wiped out the 50,000 defenders in the city!
This kind of combat capability is really strong!
If they hadn’t witnessed all this with their own eyes and felt the strength of the German army, the Slovaks would not have thought of hugging Hans’ thighs!
Now that Hans has mobilized so many troops to the front, it is a big question whether the coalition forces can take back Bratis!
If the coalition forces cannot take it back, then if Hans stays here, won’t the Slovaks even lose their capital?
Therefore, the only way is to join Hans as a younger brother like Hungary!
As the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ribbentrop secretly met with Svante.
After meeting Ribbentrop, Svante immediately told him his ideas, and eagerly stated that Slovakia admired Hans’s economy, politics and culture very much, and wanted to learn advanced technology and experience from Hans!
This statement can be said to be quite explicit, and the other party was just about to hug his thigh and cry to be their younger brother!
So, after talking with the other party, Ribbentrop quickly figured out the other party’s intentions, and then immediately reported the news to Mainz.
“In this case, then you tell him that it is not impossible for him to surrender to us, but if he wants us to accept him, he must show us his loyalty. Without this, we cannot trust him!”
Everyone laughed when they heard Mainz’s words.
The president’s previous prediction seemed to be effective. After seeing Hungary surrender to Hans, and Hans protecting their little brother at all costs when Hungary was in danger, some other countries immediately realized the benefits of surrendering to Hans.
Therefore, not only did Hans’ former little brothers come to curry favor with him, but even these countries that were originally enemies came to join in the fun, which made Hans’ appetite spoiled!
Now, if you want to be Hans’s dog, you need to bring your own dry food!
Even so, whether they can succeed depends on Hans’s own wishes. If Hans is not satisfied, they can’t even be dogs!
Svante understood the meaning of the letter of surrender. He was actually thinking that if they expected the German army to defeat Czechoslovakia and help them restore their country, wouldn’t they become Hans’s puppets in the future?
So they must do this kind of thing by themselves, so that Hans, the suzerain, can see their strength, so that they will be taken seriously!
Svante didn’t stay in Berlin for too long. After getting Hans’s statement, he immediately returned to Slovakia.
Just as he was about to return, the Battle of Bratislava began!
At this time, the German Chief of Staff Manstein had already arrived at the front line and personally commanded the battle.
Although Mainz had said before that if they felt they couldn’t win or hold on, they could retreat back, regroup, preserve their strength, and fight again later!
However, Manstein didn’t like the style of retreating without firing a shot. Although the enemy had a lot of troops, it was still very difficult for these armies to eat up an entire German army at once.
So he wanted to test and see what the real combat effectiveness of the coalition forces was!
Once he figured out the real combat effectiveness of the coalition forces, his next battle plan could be made more detailed and more assured!
The coalition forces obviously didn’t want this evil German army to get away, so their purpose was clear from the beginning, which was to eat up this German army!
