Battle of the Third Reich

Vol 6 Chapter 326: Military Parade (Hungarian Concerns)

After the signing of the humiliating Treaty of Trianon, the new nationalist forces in the far right of Hungary began to expand rapidly. In 1932, the leader of the right-wing political party "Hungarian National Unity Party" Zula Gambosh was taken by Hall. Tee was appointed Prime Minister of the Kingdom.

This man is a former officer of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, a positive Hungarian national independent, and one of the most important allies of the regent of Horti.

Zura once initiated and formed the so-called "Hungarian National Defense Association". This civilian paramilitary organization later became an important help for Horti to regain control of the old Austro-Hungarian army, and finally helped Horti pit dead Hungary led by Bella. Soviet regime.

After the fall of the Hungarian Soviet, Zula was appointed Minister of Defense of Hungary. At that time, the most important responsibility on his shoulders was to lead the troops loyal to General Horti, and began to arrest and clean the Communists throughout the country.

It was this Zula who signed an important German-Hungarian trade agreement with Hillett, and agreed that Germany exchange industrial products for Hungary’s aluminum ore and agricultural products. This agreement is beneficial to both parties. Germany has obtained the important resources he wants to obtain. Hungary has got more job opportunities.

Hitler orally agreed and supported Hungary’s idea of ​​recovering territory from Czechoslovakia, but he also made it clear that Germany would not support Hungary’s attempt to recapture territory from Romania and Yugoslavia.

Hitler's thinking is very clear. A stable Balkan region is more in the interest of Germany, and the Third Reich has more important goals to achieve, and it will not consume power in this mud.

Hitler rarely said that after the German annexation of the Czech Republic, Hungary invaded and occupied the newly declared independence of the Ukrainian Republic of Korbia (formerly the Czechoslovak Autonomous Province of Rothenia), and the Germans immediately recognized Hungary At that time, this group of Magyar people were still very happy about the dominance of this land. They felt that this thigh did not hold wrong, and his years of efforts finally paid off.

With the news of the defeat of France, the voice of Hungary in recovering the remaining territories suddenly became louder. Everyone knew that if Britain failed again in the war, it would mean that the arrogant little Allies lost all their backstage. .

As for Hitler’s previous statement, given that the former German head of state is already a dead man, the Hungarians feel that they can still discuss it with the Germans. It’s not a big deal, but the small Allies have always been faithful running dogs of Britain and France, and Hungary It has always been an ally of Germany, and the new head of state should be able to distinguish between them.

As the Hungarians expected, the British and French defeated and surrendered one after another, but the subsequent development of the situation completely broke away from their expectations.

Germany suddenly clamored for Austria. The Hungarians at first thought that the opportunity for waiting had finally arrived. The Germans were going to take Yugoslavia first.

Apart from Serbia and Montenegro, the remaining territory of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia is divided from Hungary. In view of the fact that it is basically a mountainous area that is difficult to farm and pasture, the hatred on both sides is not as deep as Romania.

Although it's not a Romanian that makes people feel a bit regretful, but even if the mosquitoes are thin, it is also a meat dish. After the Hungarians tasted the sweetness in the Czech Republic, this time even Horti had to comply with the popular opinion of the wild.

It seems that the blood of the tribe's ancestors suddenly burned in the blood vessels. Hungary assembled a heavy army of 60,000 soldiers within thirty days, and then performed troops on the border of Yugoslavia in Hungary, just waiting for the German side to start, they immediately Killed Yugoslavia and asked the Serbs to repay some old debts.

As mentioned earlier, the Serbian nationalists in Yugoslavia are quite radical. They brutally oppress all the aliens who live in Yugoslavia and do not want to be assimilated by them. Among them, the Magyar people who retain their strong national flavor bear the brunt. They have really eaten these years. A lot of suffering.

Just as the Hungarians were preparing for a big fight, an unbelievable scene happened. The German main force was ushered into the Yugoslav border without a shot, and the Germans at the Austrian border suddenly invaded Italy from the Alps. , And won the city of Rome within a week.

The Germans did not tell Hungary the truth from beginning to end, and Horti can be said to be completely in the dark. This incident shocked the whole of Hungary and the opposition, because it represents that Hungary has lost the trust of the Third Reich.

This is really not a joke. Hungary and Germany were originally united for mutual use. The relationship between the two sides is not as close as Germany and Italy.

Now thinking of the end of Hitler's closest ally Mussolini, Horti Regent felt shudders.

What kind of person is this new German head of state? The Hungarian foreign affairs department couldn't find any one to understand. In the past two years, the Hungarians have patronized their own home and have a third of acres, and they have changed in just four years. Four prime ministers.

Prime Minister Zura died in a hospital in Munich because of ** cancer in three or six years. The succeeding Kalman Terende was a radical right-winger. He revised the election rules in Hungary, first canceled the public vote, and then revised it. The voting standards deprived many Hungarians of their right to vote.

Eventually, because he was too close to the far-right fascist party "Arrow and Cross", which angered the conservatives and Horti in the parliament, he was forced to resign as prime minister in May 1988.

The successor to Terende is Imredi Bella, who once served as the Hungarian Minister of Economy, which is also an extreme right-winger.

The Prime Minister went further politically than Terende. Not only did he start to fall to Germany and Italy in an all-round way, he also tried to establish a German-style centralized government in Hungary. He learned that Germany had instituted a news censorship system, and Beginning to repel and oppress the Jews, the Hungarian Jewish community suffered huge economic losses in a short time.

In order to gain the support of the Jewish political group, Prime Minister Zula signed an agreement with Jewish politicians and chaebols, agreeing that as long as he is in power, he will not sign any laws against race, or issue policies that will harm the economic interests of the Jews.

In the history, Hillett had a great opinion on the pro-Jewish attitude of the Zura cabinet, and declared that Hungary would have to pay a satisfactory price for him to obtain his support.

At this time, the Prime Minister Imredi was a Hungarian version of Himmler, which not only caused Horti's resentment and vigilance, but also triggered conservative factions...especially the revenge of the Jewish community.

So a farce in the history of Hungary called black humor happened. In February 1939, just seven months after Imredi came to power, someone suddenly stood up to expose that this immaw who was crazy against anti-Semitic Your Excellency Prime Minister Reddy is actually Jewish.

Is there anything more ridiculous than this, but after a parliamentary investigation hearing, it was discovered that the reporters were all true, and the prime minister’s great-grandfather was indeed a Jew.

Imredi, who inherited all his grandfather’s inheritance at the time, couldn’t legally dismiss this blood relationship, so he could only be forced to resign. (Actually, according to the Jewish tradition of matrilineal inheritance, he is not really a Jew.)

After all, this man's mind still worked. As soon as he resigned, he ran into the army to avoid the wind, otherwise he might be killed by the extreme right-wing thugs who were raised and incited by himself on the street.

In history, this guy did not change his life. He also wanted to restore the political future by organizing a new anti-Semitic party. After the failure, he chose to turn to Germany to become Germany’s political agent in Hungary. He was sentenced to treason after the war. The death penalty was eventually shot in a prison in Budapest.

The successor to Imredi is Teleki Parr, who served as the Hungarian prime minister from 20 to 21 years. This is a true Hungarian patriot.

Before participating in politics, Taylor was a well-known geographer and economist. He also served as the chief officer of the Hungarian Boy Scout Association. He has a high reputation in the civil and political circles.

Since the Prime Minister came to power, he has been trying to get Hungary out of the influence of Germany, at least to maintain a certain degree of autonomy in this alliance, will not be led by Germany, and go further and further on the road to war.

What Taylor wanted to avoid was to involve Hungary in the German war. In his view, the Germans were like a terrible plague, and it was impossible to win the final victory.

He began to suppress Fascist parties in Hungary, and even cooperated with Horti to ban the most pro-Nazi extreme right-wing party "Arrow Cross" and several other fascist organizations, causing the right-wing trend in Hungary to fall into. In the bottom of the valley, the "Arrow and Crusader Party" can only be transferred to underground activities.

Hungarian politicians began to worry about whether the Prime Minister’s move caused dissatisfaction with the new German head of state. If that was the case, it would be troublesome.

In addition to shouldering the military mission of the Regent, this military expedition also wanted to do some explanations and activities with the German new head of state. If it is not persuasive, Hungary is even willing to give up Prime Minister Taylor. Presumably he is willing to make for the motherland. A little sacrifice.
