Chapter 707: The Polish Government Fleeing Warsaw

The war was gradually drawn in the direction that the Poles least wanted to see, which was something that all Poles never thought of before the war.

For such a dilemma, Poland on the one hand asked Britain and France to launch an attack to contain Germany's attack. It is best to lead the main German forces to the Western Front, but the request of the Poles was ruthlessly rejected by Britain and France. They rejected Poland's request for help on the grounds that they were not well equipped.

For the British and French troops who stayed behind the Maginot Line and watched Poland be swallowed up by the German and Romanian troops. The British military historian Fuller later wrote: "While Poland was being wiped out, a surprising conflict was also taking place on the Western Front. It was soon called 'The Strange War', or better. It's a 'sit-in battle'."

Since Britain and France can't take care of it at the moment, is there any other way for Poland?

Speaking of which, it is also to blame Poland for killing itself and causing trouble everywhere after independence. The first was to interfere in the Soviet revolution and occupy large areas of the Soviet Union. Then, it cooperated with France to cause the Ruhr crisis, which made the Germans feel extremely bad about Poland.

If it is said that Poland has a feud with the Soviet Union and Germany, and it is understandable that the two sides are constantly filthy, then Poland and its traditional ally Lithuania are a bit speechless. Poland and Lithuania were traditional allies in history, and they also formed the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, which was the roost for a while.

Poland and Lithuania fell out after the resumption of Poland in World War I. In 1920, Poland robbed Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania, and the two countries have been on fire since then, and Poland has occupied Vilnius until now. So after Dro's invasion of Poland, Lithuania blocked the Polish border, and incidentally seized Polish assets in Lithuania.

As for the newly established Slovakia, not to mention the puppet state.

After turning around, Poland has offended the surrounding countries again and again, except that it has no bad relations with Latvia. So in the face of this situation, Poland can't find a country that can rescue itself.

As for the Soviet Union, let alone the steel comrades who eat meat without spitting bones, Poland's request was directly rejected.

Only at this time did Poland realize that it was a neighboring country that was eager to die. The more realistic problem is that the Polish government has nowhere to run. It cannot be said that there is no, there is no diplomatic conflict between Latvia and Poland. But in the face of the threat of the Drosu three countries, this small Baltic country wisely refused the entry of the Poles.

The more frightening news is that Romanian armored forces are advancing towards Warsaw, and they have arrived at Galvorin, which is less than 85 kilometers away from Warsaw. As for the German side, its vanguard has also arrived in Lodz, which is only 120 kilometers away from Warsaw.

The problem now is that if the Polish government does not go, it will be besieged in Warsaw.

So now for the Polish government it is not a question of fleeing or not fleeing,

It's a question of where to go. Of course, the more official statement of the Polish government is that the Polish government needs to move the capital to better lead the people to resist the invasion of Rhodes.

Therefore, high-ranking Polish officials gathered at the Prime Minister's Office to discuss the specific location of the capital relocation.

And after everyone gathered, Prime Minister Sikorsky, who presided over the meeting, felt a burst of sigh. Unexpectedly, the outcome of the war would be so tragic. Poland's painstakingly managed army, under the combined attack of Dero, did not persist for a week, and it came to the point of abandoning the capital.

It's just that he still keeps his mission in mind, Poland cannot be subjugated, or the next time it will return to the country will not know when. Now the first task is to move the government out first, use Warsaw to delay the pace of the two countries, and wait for the rescue of Britain and France.

So far, Poland still pinned its hopes on Britain and France. What should I say?

"Okay, now for the meeting. Our topic is the issue of moving the capital. Now Warsaw is about to become a front line. For the government to continue working, where should we move the capital?"

After Prime Minister Sikorsky spoke about this issue, Admiral Stakovitz, who served as chief of the general staff, immediately stood up. "According to the advice of our military, it is better for the government to move to Kobrin. This will allow us to distance ourselves from the Dro army and use Brest to defend against the attack of the two countries."

The words of the chief of the general staff are from a military point of view, it is a very good choice. It is possible to escape from Warsaw, a place of four battles, and to use the Brest Fortress to resist the offensive of the Dro army.

The government still has confidence in this fortress city that Poland has prepared for the Soviet Union. This is the throat city, the Pratt swamp to the south is daunting, and the dark forest to the north is also not suitable for army marching. So for generations in Russia, the place was used as a fortress.

Since the Soviet-Polish War, Poland has worked hard to manage this strategically important city. As long as Brest does not fall, the Soviet army will not be able to penetrate the Polish hinterland at all.

Now the military clearly intends to use the city to take on the heavy responsibility of defending the Dro army.

It's just that the counterattack immediately attracted by Admiral Stakovitz, I saw the Minister of Industry Ziekossky got up and said. "It's easy to put it, the government moved to Kobrin, what about the people and materials, can those factories be moved too? Without the materials, what can your military do to continue fighting. Just by hiding in Poland after Brest Can it exist? If we continue to fight like this, I don’t think Brest will fall for more than two months. Then what should we do at that time, vote for the Soviet Union?”

If the words of Industry Minister Tsiekowski were reasonable at the beginning, they later turned into a vent of dissatisfaction with the military.

As we all know, Polish politics is greatly influenced by the military. Since Piłsudski’s generation, the military has always had a deep influence on politics (the famous colonel politics, a bunch of retired officers with the rank of colonel, serving as senior government officials). And under the influence of hardliners like the military, Poland's strange diplomacy is not surprising.

Of course, if it is under the influence of the military, everything is developing for the good, then this is not a problem. However, under the influence of the military, Poland's results are getting worse and worse, and now it is on the verge of subjugation. Why don't others let others vent? It was obvious that everyone present knew this, so no one refuted him.

And Admiral Stakovitz obviously knew that there was a large group of people in the government who were angry with the military, so he did not refute the other party. After all, grievances still need to be sent out, and besides, the army fought too ugly in this war, why can't others be allowed to say a few words?

So he waited until the Minister of Industry Tsiekowski had finished speaking before he spoke. "Then do you have a good choice?"

This sentence stopped Tsiekowski, who was not familiar with the military after all. Moreover, it is even more irresponsible to the Polish people to refer to a city at will. As for the west of Brest, look at the offensive lines of the Dro army on the map, and it is even more dangerous.

So he could only say one thing. "I have not decided yet."

In the end, due to the realistic situation, Poland made the decision to move the capital to Kobrin. And the action was very fast. On the same night, the first trains carrying senior government officials and various documents and valuables left Warsaw.

As for the highway, the road from Warsaw to Brest was crowded with vehicles carrying all of their belongings. And there are many walking residents carrying their luggage and fleeing Warsaw. They all knew that war was about to take place here, and if they didn't want to be hurt, the residents of Warsaw could only flee.
