Beiyang reactionaries

In the past, China lacked talents.

Therefore, for those international students who study abroad at public expense, they will be called back soon.But now China's talent training has reached a certain scale, and it is not as urgent as before.So Duan Xun is willing to let those international students learn more knowledge abroad.If they can learn from some world-class scientific masters, it will be even more useful to return to China in the future.

"Yes."

"Boom boom boom——"

"Prime Minister."

While Duan Xun and Liang Huankui were talking, Duan Xun's secretary knocked on the door gently outside.

"Come in."

"Prime Minister, there is news from Berlin that Germany suddenly attacked Czechoslovakia last night. German tanks have already entered Prague this morning, controlling most of Czechoslovakia. The troops of more than a dozen Czech divisions did not resist at all. Germany controls Czechoslovakia."

"I see. I'm going to the meeting room now, and you inform Premier Dai and them."

"Yes."

"Prime Minister Liang, let's go and have a look."

"Yes."

In the early morning of May 1938, 5, more than 28 days after the signing of the "Germany, Italy and Japan Triple Alliance Treaty", Germany immediately tore up the "Munich Agreement", and troops quickly entered Czechoslovakia.If it was Czechoslovakia half a year ago, relying on the line of defense they built in the Sudetenland area and their ability to quickly arm millions of troops, they could completely stop the German army.Even if Britain and France supported Czechoslovakia, it would not be impossible for Czechoslovakia to break arms with Germany half a year ago.

It's a pity that today is different.

The "Munich Agreement" directly gave the Sudetenland area to Germany, causing Czechoslovakia to lose the military defense line they had built in the Sudetenland area.Moreover, there are issues concerning the rights and interests of some ethnic minorities in the "Munich Agreement".And Hungary, Romania and other countries took advantage of this treaty to take advantage of the fire and take over large areas of Czechoslovakia.It can be said that the "Munich Agreement" directly caused Czechoslovakia to lose half of its land, half of its population, and half of its industry, and even completely broke the backbone of Czechoslovakia, making Czechoslovakia lose the courage to resist.

After losing the Sudetenland, Czechoslovakia was completely undefended against Germany.

Originally, Czechoslovakia had more than 30 divisions, and it was one of the military powers in Europe.It is a pity that with the signing of the "Munich Agreement", only [-] divisions were left.And these troops also began to stay away, not obeying the orders of the Czechoslovak government.Who made Czechoslovakia lose so much land without any war at all.

And that's it.

Facing the German attack, Czechoslovakia had no power to parry, and the Czechoslovak army did not think about resisting.In the end, everyone could only watch as the industrial country of Czechoslovakia completely fell into the hands of the Germans.Germany's control of Czechoslovakia caused a worldwide sensation.

When Czechoslovakia was complete, it was the eighth largest industrial country in the world, and its industrial scale was still very good.Especially the military industry of Czechoslovakia is even more famous in the world.

They are unique in the manufacture of machine guns, cannons, and even tanks.Their weapons are famous all over the world.With Germany taking control of Czechoslovakia, these things became German.Let Germany's military production capacity have made leaps and bounds.

Britain and France were completely dumbfounded.

Because Germany took a year to annex Czechoslovakia without bloodshed.The result was a surge in German power.After the signing of the "Munich Agreement" half a year ago, the British and French politicians who thought they had achieved peace felt great humiliation at Hitler's hand.After all, before the ink on the "Munich Agreement" was dry, Hitler directly tore up the "Munich Agreement".

But Germany's action is not over.

One month after swallowing Czechoslovakia, on June 1938, 6, Germany and the Soviet Union suddenly announced the signing of the "Soviet-German Nonaggression Pact" in Moscow.Germany and the Soviet Union signed the "Non-Aggression Pact", which caught Britain and France by surprise.

What is the purpose of Britain and France to indulge Germany all the time?

One is because the First World War was too tragic and the casualties were too serious, which had a deep impact on Britain and France.Many people who participated in World War I have a deep fear of war.Therefore, the anti-war atmosphere in Britain and France is very strong.In order to cater to this situation, those politicians have been avoiding wars and conflicts with Germany and Italy.Therefore, the actions of Germany and Italy are repeated concessions.

Another reason is that both Britain and France wanted Germany to go to war with the Soviet Union.After all, Hitler's Nazi Party had been calling for the elimination of the Soviet Union, and it was also the first country to advocate the "Anti-Comintern Agreement."

From the British point of view, Germany and the Soviet Union are deadly enemies.

Therefore, Britain and France hope that Germany will eventually fight the Soviet Union, so that Britain and France can watch the fire from the other side and benefit from it.Therefore, Britain and France both acquiesced to Germany's expansion, and even encouraged him to develop in the direction of the Soviet Union.It is a pity that after Germany took Czechoslovakia, it did not go to war with the Soviet Union as Britain and France wanted. Instead, it immediately signed the "Soviet-German Non-Aggression Pact" with the Soviet Union.Let Britain and France's long-standing ideas completely come to nothing.

"What do you mean by German?"

"Hitler personally met with the Wei Chen group ambassador and told him that Germany and the Soviet Union signed the 'non-aggression pact' just to relieve Germany's worries. It is definitely not for cooperation with the Soviet Union, let alone any alliance with the Soviet Union. Germany does not want For this matter to affect the friendship with China, I hope that China will not misunderstand. Hitler believed that the relationship between China and Germany is a traditional friendship, and hope that the two countries can continue to maintain this friendship."

Yan Huiqing replied immediately.

Originally, China, Germany, Japan, and Italy had agreed when they signed the "Anti-Comintern Pact" that no country should privately conclude a contract with the Soviet Union.If anyone among them wants to negotiate with the Soviet Union, they must notify other countries and obtain the consent of other countries.

But now that Germany has privately signed the "Soviet-German Non-Aggression Pact" with the Soviet Union, it has already violated the agreement of the year.Now China is an important ally of Germany. Although China has not signed a military alliance treaty, it is still Germany's largest partner.Hitler didn't want to fall out with China just because he signed a "non-aggression pact" with the Soviet Union.So I personally explained to Wei Chen's group.Frequently stated how deep the friendship between China and Germany is.

"Humph."

Duan Xun snorted coldly.

Hitler had it all, good and bad.While signing the "non-aggression pact" with the Soviet Union, he told China that Germany attaches great importance to its relations with China.Really good people and bad people have done it themselves.

Same as Japan.

Anyway, everything has been done, can China really turn its face?Hitler thought the same as Japanese Prime Minister Yoshiichi Tanaka.They all believe that China's current interests are the same as those of Germany and Japan, and they all want to overthrow the world order established by Britain and France.As long as Britain and France exist, China will depend on Germany and Japan.So at this stage, China will definitely not turn against them.It is precisely because of this self-confidence that they will have no scruples.

"Since Hitler attaches great importance to the relationship with our country, then negotiate with Germany. See if there is any chance to get more benefits from Germany. I believe that in order to appease us, Germany will make concessions in some places."

"Yes."

Yan Huiqing nodded.

The current situation is that Germany took the lead in breaking the agreement of the year.Moreover, Germany is really inseparable from China at present. After all, Germany has to import a large amount of resources from China to prepare for war.Germany's war machine has begun to operate, requiring more and more resources.

If it falls out with China at this time, it will be very difficult for Germany to find another raw material supplier in a short period of time.After all, in the current world, China is the primary supplier of raw materials, and there is no country that can replace the current China.Therefore, under the current circumstances, China should be able to obtain more benefits from Germany.

"Prime Minister You (You Min), what's the situation in Europe after Professor Meitner's paper was published? Are there any countries that value this research result?"

"At present, it is only a scientific discussion. After the publication of Professor Meitner's paper, many nuclear physicists are currently conducting independent experiments to see whether Professor Meitner's experiment can be repeated. Therefore, there is no comment on her published paper. Time to discuss."

"Can the argument be replicated experimentally?"

"Yes. Only after the experiments of other nuclear physicists can repeat the results that Professor Meitner said, this experiment can be regarded as recognized by the scientific community. After the announcement of Professor Meitner's results, there is currently no A nuclear physicist stated that he repeated Professor Meitner's experiment. But I think there should be nuclear physicists repeating this experiment soon, because our domestic nuclear physicists have done this experiment many times."

You Min is in charge of the police department and the security department, and is the deputy prime minister in the cabinet who directly listens to the reports of the security department.Although Duan Xun thought of many ways, at most he delayed the publication of Lise Meitner's research report and was not able to stop it.Lise Meitner's research report was published in a European journal on June 1938, 6.

Duan Xun attaches great importance to this matter.

So let the intelligence agencies on the Chinese side keep an eye on this matter.Just look at the storm that will be caused in the scientific community after the publication of Lise Meitner's research report.However, from You Min's answer, Duan Xun already knew that there was not much disturbance so far.

Because Lise Meitner's research report is just her one-sided statement.Those nuclear physicists still have to repeat the experiment done by Lieser Meitner. Only when everyone can repeat this experiment, will everyone recognize the success of Lieser Meitner's experiment.

Only after completing this step, these people will start to further study some theoretical research reports on nuclear fission published by Lise Meitner.Then some experiments will continue.

Includes follow-up studies of nuclear fission and chain reactions.

"Except for the nuclear physics community, not many people in other fields have paid attention to this matter. After all, they are all different fields. As for the European and American powers, they are currently concerned about Germany's annexation of Czechoslovakia, and Germany and the Soviet Union signing the 'non-aggression pact' It is impossible to pay attention to a paper in the nuclear physics community."

"Ah That's good."

Duan Xun nodded.

As long as no one is paying attention.At present, Germany has made all preparations for war. It is only because it has just annexed Czechoslovakia and has not fully digested it, so it has not gone to war.

Hitler developed step by step.
