Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 326: Military parade (Hungarian worries)
Genius remembers the address of this site in one second: (Vertex Chinese), the fastest update! No ads! After the humiliating Trianon Treaty was signed, the emerging nationalist forces of the extreme right in Hungary began to expand rapidly. In 1932, the leader of the right-wing party "Hungarian National Unity Party", Zura Gembos, was appointed Prime Minister of the Kingdom by Horti.
This man is a former Austro-Hungarian military officer, an active Hungarian national independenceist, and one of the most important allies of the Regent of Horti.
Zula once initiated and formed the so-called "Hungarian National Defense Association". This civilian paramilitary organization later became an important support for Horti to regain control of the old Austro-Hungarian army, and ultimately helped Horti to kill Bella. The leading Hungarian Soviet regime.
After the fall of the Hungarian Soviet, Zula was appointed Minister of Defense of Hungary. At that time, his most important responsibility was to lead troops loyal to General Horti, and began to arrest and purge Communists across Hungary.
It is this Zula who signed an important German-Hungarian trade agreement with Hillert, agreeing that Germany will exchange industrial products for Hungarian aluminum ore and agricultural products. This agreement is beneficial to both parties, and Germany got what he wanted Important resources, Hungary has got more job opportunities.
Hitler verbally agreed and supported Hungary’s idea of reclaiming territory from Czechoslovakia, but he also made it clear that Germany would not support Hungary’s attempt to retake territory from Romania and Yugoslavia.
Hitler's thinking is very clear. A stable Balkan region is more in the interests of Germany. The Third Reich has more important goals to achieve and will not consume power in this mud.
Hitler did not break his promise. After Germany annexed the Czech Republic, Hungary flagrantly invaded and occupied the newly declared independent Korpathian Ukrainian Republic (originally the Russian Autonomous Province of Czechoslovakia), and the Germans immediately Acknowledging the right of the Hungarians to rule this land, the Magyars were still very happy at the time. They felt that this thigh was not wrong, and their years of hard work finally paid off.
With the news of the defeat of France, the voice of reclaiming the remaining territory in Hungary at that time also suddenly became louder. Everyone knew that if the British failed in the war again, it would mean the loss of the arrogant little Allied power. All backstage.
As for Hitler’s previous statement, given that the former German head of state is already dead, the Hungarians feel that they can still discuss with the Germans, and the big deal is to come up with a little more advantage. Besides, the Little Entente has always been a loyal lackey of Britain and France. , And Hungary has always been an ally of Germany, and the new head of state should be able to distinguish between relatives and distances.
As the Hungarians expected, Britain and France were successively defeated and surrendered, but the subsequent development of the situation completely deviated from their expectations.
Suddenly, Germany was arrogantly advancing to Austria. At first, the Hungarians thought that the opportunity they were waiting for had finally come. The Germans were prepared to take the Yugoslavia operation first.
Except for Serbia and Montenegro, the remaining territory of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia is divided from Hungary. Since it is basically mountainous land that is difficult to farm and graze, the hatred between the two parties is not as deep as Romania.
Although it is a bit regretful that it is not a Romanian, but no matter how thin the mosquito is, it is also a meat dish. After the Hungarians have tasted the sweetness of the Czech Republic, this time even Horti had to follow the public opinion between the ruling and the wild .
It seems that the blood of the ancestors of the tribe suddenly burned in the blood vessels. Within 30 days, Hungary assembled a group of 60,000 soldiers, and then exercised on the border of Hungary and Yugoslavia, waiting for the German side to start. They immediately rushed into Yugoslavia to collect some old debts from the group of Serbs.
As mentioned earlier, the Serbian nationalists in Yugoslavia are quite radical. They cruelly oppress those who live in Yugoslavia, and all alien races who are unwilling to be assimilated by them. Among them, the Magyars who retain a strong national color bear the brunt. It has suffered a lot.
Just as the Hungarians were gearing up for a big fight, an unbelievable scene happened. The main German forces were greeted into the Yugoslav border without a shot, and the German troops stationed on the Austrian border suddenly attacked from the Alps. Into Italy, and took the city of Rome within a week.
The Germans did not tell Hungary the truth from beginning to end. Horti can be said to be completely blinded. This incident shocked the entire Hungarian government and opposition, because it means that Hungary has lost the Third Reich. trust.
This is really not something that can be used as a joke. Hungary and Germany were originally united for the purpose of mutual use. The relationship between the two parties is not as close as Germany and Italy.
Now the thought of the fate of Hitler's closest ally, Mussolini, made the Regent Horti shudder.
What kind of person this new German head of state is, the Hungarian foreign ministry couldn’t find anyone to understand. In the past two years, Hungarians have patronized and guarded their own one-acre three-quarter land. In just four years Just changed four prime ministers.
Prime Minister Zula died of cancer in a Munich hospital in 36 years. Kalman Taylor, who took over, was a radical right winger. He revised the Hungarian election rules, first canceling public voting, and then Modifying the voting standards deprived many Hungarians of the right to vote.
Finally, because he got too close with the far-right fascist party "Arrow Cross", which angered the conservatives and Horti in the parliament, he was forced to resign as prime minister in May of 38.
Imredi Bella, who succeeded Tylund, once served as the Minister of Economy of Hungary, is also an extreme right winger.
The prime minister went further politically than Telende. Not only did he begin to fall to Germany and Italy, he also tried to establish a German-style centralized government in Hungary. He learned from Germany and started news censorship. System, and began to exclude and oppress Jews, so that the Jewish community in Hungary 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 was in power, he would not sign any laws against race or issue policies that would harm the Jewish economic interests.
Hillert has had a lot of opinions about the pro-Semitic attitude of the Zula cabinet in history, and declared that Hungary must pay a price that satisfies him if he wants his support.
At this time, the Prime Minister Imredi is simply Himmler’s Hungarian copy. It not only aroused the resentment and vigilance of Horti again, but also triggered conservative factions...especially the Jewish people. Revenge.
So a farce called black humor happened in Hungarian history. In February 1939, just seven months after Imredi came to power, someone suddenly came forward to expose that this man was madly anti-Semitic His Excellency Prime Minister Imredi, his ancestors were actually Jewish.
Is there anything more ridiculous than this, but after a parliamentary investigation and hearing, it was discovered that what the whistleblowers said was true. The prime minister’s great-grandfather was indeed a Jew.
Imredi, who inherited all of his great-grandfather’s estate at the time, couldn’t legally separate this blood relationship at all, so he was forced to resign sadly (actually according to the Jewish tradition of matrilineal inheritance, he really is not Jewish.)
Finally, this man's brain still worked, and as soon as he resigned, he ran into the army to avoid the limelight, otherwise he might be killed on the street by the extreme right-wing thugs he helped and incited.
Historically, this guy did not change his life~IndoMTL.com~ He also wanted to organize a new anti-Semitic party to restore his political future. After his failure, he chose to fully join Germany and became Germany’s political agent in Hungary. After the war, he was sentenced to death for treason and was eventually shot in a Budapest prison.
The Prime Minister of Imredi is Tyreki Parr, who served as the Prime Minister of Hungary from 2020 to 21. This is a true Hungarian patriot.
Taylorki was a well-known geographer and economist before joining politics. He also served as the chief officer of the Hungarian Boy Scout Association. He has a high reputation both in 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, not to be led by Germany, and go further and further on the road to war .
What Tyreki tried to avoid was to involve Hungary in the German war. In his opinion, 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 far-right party "Arrow Cross" and several other fascist organizations in one go, resulting in the right wing in Hungary. The tide began to fall into a trough, and the "Arrow Cross Party" and others could only shift to underground activities.
Hungarian politicians began to worry whether it was because of the Prime Minister’s actions that caused dissatisfaction with the new German head of state. If this is the case, it would be troublesome.
In addition to shouldering the military mission of the regent, the military mission this time also wanted to do some explanation activities with the new German head of state. If it can’t be convinced, Hungary is even willing to abandon Prime Minister Taylorki, presumably he is also willing to do for the motherland. And make a little sacrifice.
