Romanian Eagle

When the news that penicillin was about to enter mass production reached Eder, Eder was troubled by one thing.

In fact, Eder had forgotten about penicillin before, and he didn't see it until Fleming invented penicillin in the newspaper. But fortunately, I have enough funds in Edel, and Professor Bolvin felt guilty for developing mustard gas and turned to research in medicine. Of course, I strongly support this rare talent in Romania.

It is very important for Romania to hear the news that penicillin will be mass-produced now. If nothing else, the treatment of wounded soldiers can reduce the loss of manpower for Romania.

In the ensuing battle, Romania has more manpower than Italy, which is at the bottom. But it still cannot be compared with other major warring countries, which also leads to Romania need to cherish every use of manpower.

And penicillin also has a good effect on other diseases. Lots of inflammation and tuberculosis. In particular, tuberculosis is a common disease now, and the characteristics of airborne infection make it extremely harmful to the human body. And penicillin works wonders for it.

The news that penicillin will be industrialized and mass-produced naturally requires the cooperation of the government. So Edel read the news and handed it over to the guards.

"Send it to the Prime Minister's Office, and let the Prime Minister and the others start the construction of the penicillin plant immediately. If there is any problem, let Professor Bolvin give technical guidance."

After waiting for the guard to leave, Edel picked up the telegram she had read before and felt an unusual headache.

The telegram was nothing but news of the German occupation of the Czech Republic.

The situation in the Czech Republic needs to be explained here. After the "Munich Agreement" was signed, the Czech Republic, which ceded the Sudetenland, was disheartened. In their eyes, they have been betrayed by Britain and France, and they have lost the dangerous Sudeten Mountains as shelter, and it is impossible to continue to maintain national sovereignty and independence.

And at this time, Poland (why died) and Hungary next to them also took the opportunity to invade the territory of the Czech Republic. Polansa was the first to occupy Cieszyn, and subsequently several villages in the Slovakian province.

Hitler then acknowledged Poland's actions. In addition, Hitler also planned Koshi to Hungary, in order to win over the Hungarian government.

On the other hand, after the Czech Republic fell into chaos, the long-repressed Slovaks established the Slovak Autonomous Government in the Slovak Province.

Under the circumstance that there are internal worries and a strong enemy externally, the Czech Republic can only choose to take refuge in Germany. Perhaps in the eyes of the world, isn't this the act of devoting yourself to feeding tigers?

But this is just the idea of ​​ordinary people, and for the ruling class, protecting their interests is the number one priority.

And on this point, Hitler saw it very clearly. So he threatened the new Czech president, Imir Khacha, and declared that he "suggested" the president to recognize the German occupation of Czechoslovakia, otherwise he would send the air force to bomb Prague. On the other hand, he assured the Czech ruling class that their interests would not be touched.

In the face of Hitler's coercion, the Czech government, which had no resistance mentality, succumbed. So Hitler, who got the result he wanted, ordered the German army to immediately invade the Czech Republic on March 15.

This becomes almost the same replica of the march into Austria, except without the flowers and the welcoming crowd. The entire march was very "peaceful" because Hacha ordered the Czechoslovak army not to resist the Germans.

Hitler also came to Prague Castle on March 16 to announce the end of the Czechoslovak regime. As in history, Slovakia was independent, and as for the Czech part, two protectorates were established, "the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia". The laws and policies exercised by these two nominal protectorates are no different from those of Germany,

In fact, it is another way of saying annexation.

Moreover, after Germany annexed the Czech Republic, it immediately invested a lot of money in its industrial transformation to better meet the needs of Germany. After acquiring the Czech Republic, Germany's military industry has been greatly improved. This former Austro-Hungarian industrial base complements Germany in all aspects. Especially in the arms industry, Skoda's annual arms production is equivalent to the output of the British mainland. Moreover, among the industrialized countries in the Czech Republic, it ranks seventh in the world, after the United States, the Soviet Union, Germany, Britain, Romania and France.

If Hitler could only rely on intimidation to make Britain and France make concessions before the annexation of the Czech Republic, now he can make Britain and France think twice with his military strength.

As for Germany's move to annex and dismember the Czech Republic, Britain and France did not express any excited words, although the Czech Republic was an important ally before.

The performance of Britain and France has made many countries begin to consider their relations with Britain and France. For a time, contact between countries became more frequent, and officials in charge of diplomatic work were active all over the world. And now the thick smell of gunpowder smoke over Europe can even be smelled by ordinary people.

In Romania, however, there is an anxious mood about Germany's annexation and dismemberment of the Czech Republic.

Although Germany still respects Romania very much, it did not take the opportunity to bring Hungary to its side, and Slovakia was also independent. Although Slovakia is just a puppet country, it is still much better than a direct border between the two countries.

But while Germany respects Romania in these respects, Romania feels like it's being ripped off on the terms of the crucial Munich meeting.

Because of the joint advance and retreat with Germany in the Munich Conference, Britain and France have a new view on the relationship between Germany and Roth. During that time, Britain and France did a lot of diplomatic work for Romania, but because of the terms of the alliance with Germany, there were not many responses to Britain and France.

Of course, the more important reason is that the conditions set by Britain and France are not enough for Romania to make a move to abandon Germany. But when Germany annexed and dismembered the Czech Republic, Romania felt the pressure.

First of all, the British and French diplomatic attitudes towards Romania have dropped a lot, and Greece has also expanded its army on the grounds that Italy swallowed the Kingdom of Albania. And many arms were directly shipped by Britain and France in the name of loans. Therefore, the current Greek army has reached 300,000 people, which makes Mussolini stop small actions if he wants to make some incidents to take advantage of Greece.

Seeing that the consequences of Germany's annexation of the Czech Republic are shared by the two countries, how can this make Romania satisfied. Although Edel knew that this was just the beginning, there were many people in China who had different opinions on whether to continue the covenant with Germany.

Although Edel can press down with his prestige, but how to press this kind of thing is like a spring, the harder it is pressed, the stronger the rebound. And no matter how high Edel's prestige is, he can't do everything he wants.

And he also wanted to see how Germany responded to this, and how much importance was attached to the Romanian ally. So for the headache, Edel continued to wait.
