Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 541
After Fangze left, Zhang Zuolin thought about it and couldn't sleep. Early the next morning, he appointed Yang Yuting to send a confidential telegram to Beijing, reporting Fangze's lobbying to the emperor in detail.

As soon as Guan Xuqing heard the news, he was furious, and immediately summoned a group of officials from the military department and a group of people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and circulated Zhang Zuolin's telegram to everyone. Everyone was very angry, but before the emperor made a decision, no one dared to Speak hastily.

"People's ambitions are clearly revealed. Yesterday, a secret message was sent from the European Department of the Security Bureau. The "Triple Alliance Treaty" has been established with Germany and Italy, and the Axis Power has been formed. Germany has already targeted Austria and Italy. People from Czechoslovakia are also active in the Far East, and it seems that the Second World War is inevitable!" Guan Xuqing said slowly.

"Your Majesty, urgent telegram!" Dai Hongci, the director of the Telegraph Bureau, hurried into the hall and presented an urgent telegram to Guan Xuqing.Guan Xuqing took it over and took a closer look, and the color suddenly changed!All the ministers knew from the emperor's expression that something serious had happened, Feng Xianghua took two steps forward and asked, "Your Majesty?"

"What should come will come." Guan Xuqing handed the telegram to Feng Xianghua, and Feng Xianghua was shocked when he saw it, "How is this possible!"

Guan Xuqing sneered: "Nothing is impossible. The Wanbaoshan incident and the Nakamura incident have already explained the problem. Immediately call all the military attachés and diplomatic officials. I want to hold a special imperial meeting."

On the afternoon of March 3, the German Legation in Prague notified the Czechoslovak Ministry of Foreign Affairs without any explanation: President Hacha and Cvalkovsky were asked to go to Berlin.

At one o'clock in the morning on March 3, Mao Zedong chose this moment when human resistance was weakest, and took Hacha, the president who was frail and aging, to meet Hitler.

At the beginning of the meeting, Hitler delivered a long speech.First, it was the disrespect and "bad deeds" of former President Benes that led to the Munich agreement.

Hitler then hits the point with naked savagery: "Czechsia has not made good use of the opportunities afforded to it during the past five months. It has shown no enthusiasm for cooperation with Germany, which I cannot tolerate. I It has now been decided to declare the provinces of Bohemia and Moravisia a German protectorate. In order to carry out this decision, the German troops will cross the border of Czechia at 5 o'clock, that is to say, 6 hours later, and the Luftwaffe will occupy Czech airports. Prague will be occupied at 5 o'clock. Therefore, there are two paths for you to choose: Either the Czechs resist the German advance, and then you will be trampled without mercy; Accept your fate and make German occupation easier."

Having said that, Hitler signed his name on the pre-prepared documents and walked away.It was around two o'clock in the morning on March 3.

What followed was a very sad tragedy.Facing the demise of their country, Hacha and Cvalkovsky protested as violently as they could.

President Hacha said with a bitter face: "If I sign this document, I will be reviled by my people forever." He threw his pen to the ground with all his strength, walked to the side, and gasped for breath.

But Göring and Ribbentrop showed no mercy.They chased the two unfortunate Czechs around the table, forced pens into their hands, threw papers in front of them, and kept threatening, "If you persist in refusing, there will be untold danger to Czechia. "

"Sign it, sign it!" they cried. "If you don't sign, half of Prague will be in ruins within two hours." Goering asserted mercilessly. The bell goes out. "

Time is ticking.The fate of Prague loomed direly before President Hacha.But he still refused to sign.Due to the extreme pain, the president, who was already frail and sickly, passed out due to exhaustion.The doctor who had been waiting beside him rescued him and brought him back to life.

Time continues to fly by.It is already 04:30 in the morning.Threats, inducements, and blackmail have never stopped.

Hacha fell into a coma again, then was revived again, and finally in a state of half-death maintained entirely by injections, he signed insensibly at the mercy of others.

When Hitler used a bayonet to force President Hacha of Czechoslovakia to sign the "deed of sale", he happily rushed into the office, hugged every woman present, and shouted: "Children, this is the most beautiful thing in my life." Great day! I will go down in history as the greatest German!" Hitler was overjoyed, and he had his reasons.

Hitler was dissatisfied with the Munich Agreement from the very beginning, and even believed that it might hinder his overall political strategy deployment.Therefore, from the moment the Munich agreement was signed, Hitler began to try to destroy the agreement in order to complete his plan to destroy Czechoslovakia.

According to the overall political strategic deployment he planned, neither the acquisition of the Sudetenland nor the conquest of Czechoslovakia was an end in itself.These, together with the annexation of Austria, were but preparatory steps in a larger campaign to seize Poland and the Soviet Union, and to gain living space in Eastern Europe.So, for this purpose, Czechoslovakia had to serve as a bridgehead from which to conduct the assault.Germany's military victory over Czechoslovakia was not just a region of Sudetenland, but the entire country.Now he really got it!Just before President Hacha came back after signing the "deed of sale", Hitler led an army of 10, drove himself to the conquest, arrived in Prague early, and wrote on the desk of former Czechoslovakian President Benes: "Czechoslovakia is no longer re-exist" phrase.After annexing Austria, he occupied another country for the second time without bloodshed.

What made Hitler happy was that after he dismembered Czechoslovakia with arms and "bubbled" Chamberlain and Daladier, they dared not do anything other than dumbfounded or a few empty threats.

Hitler has seen through their "schizophrenia" and "war-phobia" "Now I can let Britain and France get away and do my own business!" He looked around and found that there were so many open doors in front of him. With so many paths to walk.So, Hitler flipped through the customized menu one by one: Poland's next hunting target, then Soviet Russia, France, and the British Isles.

In Beijing, the emperor held a special meeting before the imperial court. The main participants in the meeting were the main officials from the Ministry of War, the Ministry of the Navy and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.Feng Xianghua asked the emperor with his eyes, Guan Xuqing nodded, indicating that it was time to start.

Feng Xianghua coughed dryly, and said in a moderate voice: "Everyone, the reason why this important meeting is held today is because a shocking event happened in the eastern part of the empire. The security of the northeast region will be seriously threatened, which is the biggest military and diplomatic challenge the empire has encountered since the last world war."

Those present who didn't know were all taken aback. They saw the emperor's expression was very gloomy, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense. Some people even dared not breathe loudly.

Feng Xianghua went on to say: "According to the information we have, the "Military Assistance Treaty" has been signed with North Korea. In this treaty, North Korea is willing to use its military force to fight against China when necessary. The day before yesterday, the 31 divisions of the Kwantung Army Troops have successfully landed in Incheon, North Korea, stationed on the Korean peninsula, and quickly assembled on the China-North Korea border in the north. It seems that people's intentions are already obvious. They may cross the Yalu River at any time and launch an attack on the Northeast. Large-scale war of aggression. In advance, a new cabinet headed by Hirota Koki was established to vigorously develop the military industry and actively expand the military to prepare for war. At present, the total force has reached 500 million, accounting for one-sixth of the total population. The standing force is only 200 million, and the gap is very obvious. In terms of weapons and equipment, the empire has the world's most cutting-edge weapons such as aircraft, submarines, aircraft carriers, and tanks, but has also developed biplanes, light infantry vehicles, and armored vehicles. The combat performance is unknown, but I think this will also be a major challenge to the empire. Considering various circumstances, before North Korea reached a military alliance, it gave North Korea a large amount of aid and industrial support, and vigorously supported North Korean radicals , Suppressing the conservatives allowed the radical leader Syngman Rhee to successfully form a new cabinet, and finally reached a treaty with China to jointly fight against China."

Feng Xianghua had just conveyed this explosive news, and there was an uproar in the hall, people were talking about it, this incident happened too suddenly, there was no sign beforehand, and a big battle was about to sweep!

At this time, Guan Xuqing said: "This war will come sooner or later. There is nothing to be surprised about. The first priority is to expand the army and prepare for war. I ordered that from today onwards, the empire will enter a state of preparation for war. The conscription order is issued, and I demand that within a month's time, the empire's standing troops will increase from 200 million to 1000 million!"

"twitter."

"Arsenals and military industry bureaus around the world will step up the production of various military weapons from now on, especially cutting-edge weapons such as aircraft, tanks, and heavy artillery. There are also several major shipyards that must also step up the construction of giant ships and submarines. I request that Before the war begins, the total number of aircraft in the empire must reach 30, the tank corps must reach the size of [-] divisions, and the submarine formation must reach [-]."

"According to the order."

"Although it is a small country with North Korea, we must not ignore this war. After all, we have not fully figured out how big the real military strength is. After the meeting, order the Northeast Frontier Army to quickly gather in the Yalu River Basin and observe the army's movements at any time." Trends, as long as people dare to cross the river, they will resolutely attack at all costs. Once the war starts, the Northeast Frontier Army will be the vanguard force across the Yalu River, and the Southwest Military Region and Northwest Military Region will send ten army groups to follow up as follow-up troops. North Korea, capture this country, and then use North Korea as a bridgehead to march eastward and attack the islands!" Guan Xuqing stood up fiercely, holding the two corners of the jade table with both hands, his eyes sparkling, and said loudly: "History The Venerable Master has repeatedly tried to invade our country, this time I will completely wipe this country off the map!"
