Chapter 707： The Polish government who fled Warsaw

This war is gradually drawn towards the direction that Poles least want to see. This is something that all Poles did not expect before the war began.

Regarding such a dilemma, on the one hand, Poland required Britain and France to launch an attack to contain the German attack. It would be better to bring all the main German forces to the Western Front, but the request of the Poles was ruthlessly rejected by Britain and France. They refused Poland's request for help on the grounds that they were not equipped.

After the British and French troops stayed on the Maginot line, they watched Poland being swallowed up by the troops of the two countries. The British military historian Fuller wrote afterwards: "When Poland was being wiped out, an amazing conflict was also taking place on the Western Front. It was quickly called the'strange war', and better name. It's a'sitting fight'."

Since Britain and France are currently not able to take care of it, is there any other way in Poland?

It is also blamed on Poland for its own death, and caused troubles everywhere after independence. First, it interfered in the Soviet revolution and occupied a large area of ​​the Soviet Union. Then, it cooperated with France to cause the Ruhr crisis, which made the Germans feel very bad for Poland.

If Poland and the Soviet Union and Germany have a worldly feud, and it is understandable that the two sides continue to be filthy, then Poland and its traditional ally Lithuania would be a bit speechless. Poland and Lithuania have historically been traditional allies, and they also formed the Polish-Lithuanian Federation and ruled the roost for a time.

After the restoration of Poland during World War I, Poland and Lithuania fell apart. In 1920, Poland robbed Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania. The two countries have been in a state of flux since then, and Poland has been occupying Vilnius until now. So after Dro invaded Poland, Lithuania blocked the Polish border and seized Polish assets in Lithuania by the way.

As for the newly established Slovakia, there is no need to mention it, the puppet state.

After turning around, Poland has offended the surrounding countries once and again, except for not having any antagonism with Latvia. So in the face of this situation, Poland could not find a country that could rescue itself.

As for the Soviet Union, it goes without saying that Comrade Steel eats meat but does not spit bones, so Poland's request was directly rejected.

Only then did Poland discover that it was neighboring countries wishing to die on their own. The more realistic problem is that the Polish government does not even have a place to escape. Nor can it be said that there is no diplomatic conflict between Latvia and Poland. But in the face of the threat of the Three Kingdoms of Drosu, this small Baltic country wisely refused the entry of the Poles.

The more frightening news is that Romania’s armored forces are advancing towards Warsaw, and have reached Galvolin, which is less than 85 kilometers away from Warsaw. As for Germany, its vanguard troops have also arrived in Łódź, which is only 120 kilometers from Warsaw.

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

So now for the Polish government, it is not a question of fleeing or not, but a question of where to flee. Of course, the more official statement of the Polish government is that the Polish government needs to move its capital to better lead the citizens to resist the invasion of Rhodes.

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

After everyone got together, Prime Minister Sikorsky, who presided over the meeting, felt a sorrow for a while. Unexpectedly, the outcome of the war would be so miserable. The Polish army, which was painstakingly managed, would be under the combined offensive of Dro, and did not hold on to it for a week, and reached the point of giving up the capital.

It's just that he still keeps his mission in mind, Poland cannot be subjugated, or else I don't know when the country will be restored next time. The first task now is to move the government out first, use Warsaw to delay the pace of the two countries, and wait for British and French rescues.

Up to now, Poland still pin its hopes on Britain and France. What should I say?

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

After Prime Minister Sikorski spoke about this issue, Admiral Stakovitz, who was the chief of the general staff, immediately stood up. "According to our military's suggestion, the government had better move to Kobrin. This will keep the distance from the Dro army away, and also use Brest to withstand the attacks of the two countries."

The Chief of Staff’s words are from a military perspective, which is a very good choice. Not only can escape from Warsaw, the place of the Four World Wars, but also use the Brest Fortress to resist the offensive of Dro's army.

The government still has confidence in this fortress city prepared by Poland for the Soviet Union. This is a throat city, the Pratt swamp to the south is scary, and the gloomy forest to the north is also not suitable for military marches. Therefore, for the Russian generation, the area was used as a fortress.

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

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

It was just that Admiral Starkowitz immediately drew a counterattack, and saw the Minister of Industry Ziekaus base stand up and talk about it. "To put it bluntly, the government moves to Kobrin. What about the people and materials? Can the factories move? Without the materials, what will your military use to continue fighting. Just hide behind Brest in Poland. Is it possible to exist? If such a battle continues, I don't think the fall of Brest will take more than two months. Then what should we do, vote for the Soviet Union?"

If the words of the Minister of Industry Ziekowski were justified at the beginning, then later they became a vent of dissatisfaction with the military.

As we all know, Polish politics is greatly influenced by the military. From the Piłsudski generation, the military has always had a deep influence on politics (the famous colonel politics, a bunch of retired military officers with the rank of colonel, and high-ranking government officials). Under the influence of such hardliners as the military, Poland's strange diplomacy is no surprise.

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

And Admiral Starkowitz obviously also knew that a large group of people in the government were grieving against the military, so he did not refute the other party After all, grievances still need to be sent, let alone the army is here. Fighting in the war is too ugly, can you not allow others to say a few words?

So he waited for Industry Minister Ziekowski to finish before speaking. "So do you have a good choice?"

This sentence stopped Ziekowski, after all, he was not familiar with the military. And if it refers to a city at will, it is even more irresponsible to the Polish people. As for the west of Brest, look at the offensive lines of Dro's troops on the map, and it is even more dangerous.

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

In the end, due to the actual situation, Poland made the decision to move the capital to Kobrin. And the movement was quite fast. On that night, the first trains carrying high-ranking government officials, various documents and valuable materials left Warsaw.

As for the road, the road from Warsaw to Brest was crowded with vehicles carrying all of their belongings. In addition, many walking residents fled Warsaw carrying their luggage. They all know that this place is about to fall into the flames of war, and if they don't want to be harmed, the residents of Warsaw can only flee.
