A storm was staged throughout the Soviet Union. The previous anti-counterfeiting had not yet expanded to the army. Now, starting from 37 years, this terrible storm has finally swept into the army!

The central organs of the People's Committee of the Soviet Union's National Defense, the Political Department of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, the Soviet Revolutionary Military Commission, various military regions and naval fleets, most of the major leading cadres who arrived in the army, division, and regiment were arrested.

This is a terrible era and a beautiful era. Those who want to climb up now have a good opportunity, just report it! And such people will always exist!

Three of the 5 marshals, 13 of the 15 army-level cadres, 57 of the 85 army commander-level cadres, 110 of the 196 division commander-level cadres, 220 of the 406 brigade commander-level cadres, all 11 deputy people's committee members of the national defense, and 75 of the 80 members of the Supreme Military Commission were all cleaned up!

It can be said that this Soviet purge cut off the basic skeletons of the Soviet army. As for the bottom, there were more. 30,000 officers below the colonel were cleaned.

This cleaning storm lasted for more than a year. Stalin was quite satisfied with the result of the cleaning. Although the cleaning caused the army's combat effectiveness to greatly reduce, at least, the cleaning made the army completely obey his orders!

The rest are all obedient to Stalin's words! The rest are all loyal to Stalin. A powerful but disobedient army will not like, but what he likes is an army that is completely obedient to him!

And now, with Tukhachevsky being shot, the vigorous Soviet purge finally kicked off!

As for Cialek, who dominated all this, facing Hitler's appreciation, Cialek maintained his usual modesty: "All this is for Germany, a weak Soviet army, which is in our interest."

At the beginning of World War II, Germany fought to Moscow in a few months. In addition to the huge power of the blitzkrieg, it was also related to the fact that the Soviet army had just experienced a great purge and its strength was too poor.

Now, everything is developing in a favorable direction in history, and it is even earlier than the historical process.

For example, in history, Germany only conquered Austria in 38 years, but now, in 37 years, it is about to succeed. Annex these regions as early as possible and then integrate all resources, which can make Germany stronger than the same period in history!

Now it is Austria, and the next target is the Czech Republic!

Compared with Austria, the Czech Republic has richer resources, especially the Czech military-industrial enterprises. After integrating these enterprises, Germany's military strength has become even stronger!

"It's so whimsical that the Austrians actually want to hold a referendum!" Hitler said to Cialick with the latest information.

"Yes, the Austrians are so naive, let their hopes be shattered." Cirick also looked calm.

A weak country has no diplomacy! If you want to have a say in diplomacy, the only way is to be strong! And now, Germany is extremely powerful. It can be said that even if Italy continues to support Austria, Germany dares to take action!

On the Spanish battlefield, the combat effectiveness of the Italian army has been exposed. How low is it, it is much different from that of the German army!

But now, we should continue to put pressure on Austria on diplomacy first!

Vienna.

Located on the banks of the Danube River, it is a famous city with a history of nearly two thousand years. Historically, it is the capital of the Holy Roman Empire, Austrian Empire, Austria-Hungarian Empire, and the Austrian Republic. It has a population of millions and is one of the largest cities in Europe.

At the same time, this is a famous music capital with a strong classical atmosphere. Many famous musicians in the country of birth are also a paradise that all musicians and artists yearn for.

And now, the atmosphere here is a bit special.

Prime Minister's Office.

"Mr. Prime Minister, you have disappointed Germany." At this time, two tall Germans were standing in the Prime Minister's office.

The Austrian government's irrelevant minister, Gresse Hostenau and the Minister of Internal Affairs Seth Inquart, looked at Shuschnig with a very serious expression on their faces.

The so-called minister, or a free man, interspersed with various departments to contact each other, actually his power is the greatest, especially now, both of them are the Workers' Party, and they represent Germany!

In Gresse was holding a document signed by Hitler himself: "The German head of state is already angry. He issued an order and you immediately cancel the referendum. Your behavior violates your commitment to the head of state. Therefore, you must immediately resign!"

"Schnig, you idiot, must resign immediately! The Prime Minister of Austria, let me be the one." Seth also said.

The two were arrogant and aggressive, without any respect in their words. Although the guards were outside, Shuschnig had no strength to ask people outside to come in and bomb them away.

He knew that behind these two people was the entire Germany! If he killed these two people here, then Germany would be able to fight over with great momentum tomorrow!

"Now, we are all Austrians and don't want to do this too well. Give you four hours to think about it and tell us your decision before 2 pm." Gresse said, waving his fist, demonstrating to Shuschnig, and then, with Seth, left the Prime Minister's House.

Shuschnig stood up, his face looked ugly, these people could do anything! He still remembered that a few years ago, a group of Austrian fanatics suddenly broke into the Prime Minister's Office and shot Prime Minister Taulphes. Other fanatics occupied the radio station and declared Lintren as Prime Minister.

At that time, it was in this office that the Prime Minister was bleeding! As the Prime Minister of Austria, there was no security guarantee! If he had asked someone outside to come in just now, maybe there would be someone from the other party inside and he would have died here!

This is the last ultimatum. In four hours, if you don’t agree, you can imagine that your life will only have these few hours left.

However, if you agree, you will be the sinner of Austria! Austria is destroyed in its own hands, and this is not possible!

what to do?

Fighting against Germany is a way to die. He takes Austria and belongs to Germany and also goes to the grave. Since the madman Hitler came to power, many people have had a premonition that the Germans must have wanted to fight another World War. Austria has taken the German chariot and the prospects are not optimistic.

what to do?

It seems that there is only one way! Shuschnig pushed open the door of his office and went to the president, telling the president that he would not do it anymore.
Chapter completed!
