The relationship between Austria and Germany is complex in history. For a long time, Austria belongs to the greater Germany region and is ruled by Austria's Habsburg dynasty.

Later, Germany was unified by the hohensoren Dynasty of Prussia. They excluded Austria, while Austria and Hungary formed a loose Austro Hungarian Empire. After the first World War, Austria and Hungary also went their separate ways.

The division of European territory known to later generations, Austria is a separate country, which was mainly determined at the meeting of the victorious countries after World War II.

The end of World War I brought many changes. For example, the division of European countries is a huge problem. At the same time, there is a famous unsolvable equation: "is a country a piece of land or a group of people of the same origin? If it is a people of the same origin, which common factor should take precedence, race, religion or language? "

After World War I, Europe was always in turmoil, and the merger of Germany and Austria was premeditated.

In 1918, just after the end of World War I, German Quartermaster director rudendorff wrote to the Ministry of foreign affairs asking them to consider realizing the German Austrian merger to compensate Germany for "losses in other regions caused by the war".

Germany's failure caused great losses to Germany. All colonies were divided up by other countries. Germany must win over Austria.

At that time, considering the impact of the defeat and the disintegration of the Austro Hungarian Empire on Austria, the Austrian Interim National Assembly adopted a resolution to merge with Germany within the party. In other words, both countries are wronged by merger.

Unfortunately, the allies who won Germany won't watch Germany grow stronger. They tried their best to weaken Germany in the Treaty of Versailles, which prohibited the merger of Germany and Austria.

In this way, Hitler came to power. For Hitler, how to re integrate Austria into Germany is the first part of his imperial strategy.

History has proved that when a piece of land is divided for too long, it will be more and more difficult to merge, because on this divided land, people who have obtained power will not be willing to hand over power. They would rather be the head of the chicken than the tail of the Phoenix. When they are the head of a country, power will make them lose their reason.

Moreover, decades later, when the new generation grows up, they grow up in a split era, and they are even more reluctant to merge.

This is the problem that Hitler faced. When Hitler mastered the power of Germany and wanted to deal with the problem of Austria, it was already a little tricky.

Those in power do not want to hand over power.

So Hitler began to subvert the Austrian regime. His plan was to support the Austrian workers' party.

A few years ago, they carried out subversive activities, broke into the prime minister's office in Vienna, shot Prime Minister taurfus, occupied the radio station, and announced lintran as prime minister.

Unfortunately, Italy at that time was quite dissatisfied with this and sent four divisions to the Brenner Pass to be ready for armed intervention and maintain Austria's independence.

Over the years, Hitler has been tentative, including advancing into Rhineland. If Britain and France opposed at that time, he would immediately withdraw.

As a result, Mussolini quit and Hitler immediately stopped the plan.

In Hitler's eyes, he had great respect for Mussolini, the revolutionary mentor. At that time, Hitler saw that Mussolini did not support it and immediately gave up the plan.

In recent years, the relationship between Germany and Italy has eased greatly. Now, Germany and Italy are working together to help Spain.

Moreover, in the Spanish Civil War, the combat effectiveness of the German army far exceeded that of Italy! In this era, strength is used to speak, so Hitler is fully convinced that he has won Mussolini's respect and will no longer interfere in Austrian affairs!

This idea had long been brewing in Hitler's mind, but it had never been said.

Now, Hitler was very happy to hear what Chirac said. This Chirac is the one who knows his mind best!

Hitler was about to express his appreciation when he heard a different voice.

"General Chirac, you have always been in Spain, not in Germany, and you lack analysis of the surrounding situation. I think your view is quite inappropriate." Blomburg, Germany's defense minister, publicly objected.

Born in the orthodox Prussian army, blomburg has a great influence in the army. It is precisely because of his support that Hitler can smoothly obtain the support of the army.

Although on the surface, the relationship between blomburg and Shrek is good, there is a bad temper in the military corps, that is, they don't like this kind of civilian origin. In particular, Chirac won the war in Spain!

The regiment of officers had discussed that it was extremely wrong to concentrate on tanks, especially boromburg, who personally refuted this tactic. However, xierik demonstrated with the battlefield in Spain and confirmed that this tactic is correct. It is like slapping borough in the face!

In their bones, there is a kind of pride. At the same time, blomburg still has his own theory.

Although Britain and France did not speak when marching into Rhineland, it was because it was their own territory. They deserved it, but Austria was different!

Britain and France will not see Germany merge with Austria, thus having greater war potential, so they will oppose it!

As long as there is opposition from Britain and France, it is difficult for his side to carry out smoothly. Therefore, blomburg firmly expressed his opposition.

Private affairs are private affairs and business affairs are business affairs. Although Shrek congratulated him on marrying his wife just now, Bromberg was quite opposed to this.

"Yes, at this time, if we annex Austria, it will certainly trigger joint sanctions by the great powers. We have violated the Versailles treaty in many places. They may be vigilant against our rise and join hands to suppress it." After bromburg finished, army commander frich also expressed his views.

The two top military generals both opposed hirek's proposal. Hitler's face was still very relaxed and said, "since both of you oppose it, we'll talk about it later."

The tone was good and did not destroy the atmosphere of the party. However, Shrek saw the cold light in Hitler's eyes. Now Hitler is angry.

Blomburg and frich were stumbling blocks for Hitler to launch foreign war! Hitler must push down these two people before he can take the step of his aggression!

And these two stumbling blocks have to be solved by hilrick!
