Chapter 471 The Czech Republic's Choice
The Czech Republic is a country surrounded by mountains and forests, and its overall topography resembles a bowl framed by mountains.
This topographic unit has a specific name: the Bohemian Block. It is one of the oldest and most stable geological blocks in Central Europe, and also the largest and most studied geological tectonic unit in the Central European Hercynian Fold Belt.
The basement consists of metamorphic rocks from the Neoarchean to the Paleoproterozoic, and tectonic deformation and granite intrusion occurred during the Hercynian Orogeny.
The surrounding mountains, thousands of meters high, act like natural walls, protecting the population, cities, and industries within the basin.
To the west of the Czech Republic lies the Bohemian Forest, a vast expanse of forested mountains dotted with swamps and peatlands, forming the thickest wall in the Czech Republic.
Furthermore, the Ore Mountains are thick enough, although they contain many transverse valleys and streams, making them not an absolute barrier. However, if attacking from the west, one would have to cross the mountains and descend into the Pilsen Basin, which gave the Czech Republic sufficient defensive depth.
To the east, that is, towards Slovakia, the White Carpathian Mountains also provide ample protection, with several passages blocked to effectively defend against external enemies.
To the south, directly facing Austria, lies a relatively weak point for the Czech Republic. The terrain here is relatively open, without any significant continuous mountain ranges, and behind it lies Brno, the capital of Moravia and the second largest city in the Czech Republic.
This is the Czech Republic's weak point, and the Czech Republic has placed the most of its defensive forces here.
But now they're in trouble. Poland has actually implemented a large-scale retreat, making the area north of the Czech Republic extremely dangerous.
The border between the Czech Republic and Poland is the Sudetenland Mountains. In the Czech Republic, this mountain range is called Kırkócı, which means Giant Mountain.
Its highest peak, at 1600 meters, is also the highest point in the Czech Republic, located on the Czech-Polish border.
The forests here are dense, making it very difficult to survive in winter.
However, this formidable barrier has a critical point: the Moravian Gate, which is also the critical point of the entire Czech terrain.
The Moravian Gate is a natural lowland corridor in the northeast that connects Silesia in Poland and Moravia in the Czech Republic. It is only 200 meters above sea level and is like a gap in a city wall.
In ancient times, there was an Amber Road, a trade route for transporting amber from the Baltic region to the Mediterranean.
In 1241, the Mongol army also stormed into Moravia through the Moravian Gate, but was eventually repelled at the gates of Olomouc. Throughout history, all armies entering Moravia had to pass through this gate.
Now that Poland has ceded the area, the Czechoslovakian government has had to allocate a portion of its limited forces to defend it.
This region is too important, and the Czechs have learned a very profound historical lesson about it.
In 1938, Nazi Germany sought to establish a Greater German Reich, aiming to annex all German-populated areas. Czechoslovakia, as a bastion of democracy in Central Europe and an ally of France, became a thorn in Germany's side.
Hitler then supported the Sudeten German Party, led by Konrad Henlein, in the Sudetenland region. The Sudeten German Party made increasingly demanding and unsatisfactory requests to the Czechoslovakian government, desperately creating tensions and providing a pretext for external intervention. Later, it even demanded complete autonomy.
At the time, neither Britain nor France had any intention of participating in the war. The leaders of the two countries, Chamberlain and Daladier, directly abandoned Czechoslovakia and signed the Munich Agreement with Germany without the presence of any Czechoslovakian representatives.
Faced with pressure from its two major allies and Germany, Czechoslovakia, isolated and without support, was ultimately forced to accept the Munich Agreement, ceding the entire Sudetenland.
Betrayed, the Czech Republic lost its will to resist, and with no natural defenses, the Czech government ultimately chose to surrender.
The Czechs know very well that if they can't hold onto this place, they have no country left.
This time, the Czech Republic is once again at a crossroads.
Inside a hill in the Prague district, a heated discussion is taking place in an underground command center called K-116.
Several high-ranking Czech officials are currently working on their president's mindset.
The Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces is President Milos Zeman, a staunch pro-Maoist. A member of the Cold War generation, he has an instinctive aversion to Western elites. His cultural identity, historical ties, and inner convictions all lead him to side with Mao on all issues. His relationship with the University of Tokyo is also extremely close.
He has publicly questioned NATO and the sanctions imposed on Russia on numerous occasions.
Later, after the international situation changed drastically and the directions of Dongda and Da Mao diverged, he abandoned Dongda and continued to support Da Mao.
Even now that Russia has been swallowed up by the Wetlands, he still feels that he can't follow the United States and the East, and he still has to follow Russia!
However, Prime Minister Babiš, a businessman by profession, prioritizes practical matters, and with the United States and the United States united in their efforts, he saw no need to continue making trouble.
The military and the Security Intelligence Service are both pro-Western, and have even publicly warned of the potential influence and infiltration of Russia. This is practically a direct warning to their own president: You are Czech! Don't keep thinking about Russia.
Babiš patiently said to Milos, "The situation is different now! Is the news from Russia true? Could it be that it was fabricated by those wet tribes?"
The other military officials, especially those from the Security Intelligence Service, all watched coldly.
In their own opinion, they might as well just shoot the president right now!
The Czech Republic is a parliamentary republic, where the prime minister is the head of government with real executive power, managing the entire central government and overseeing budget policies.
The president is the head of state, but it is a nominal position. Although he has the title of commander-in-chief in name, he is not on the chain of command.
Simply put, if the president issues a document to directly command the military, the military will completely ignore him.
Normally, the highest command order should be issued only after the Prime Minister countersigns and the President signs it. However, in reality, even without the President's signature, the Prime Minister's orders can still be issued without hindrance, as the military is well aware that the Prime Minister is the one in charge.
However, Babiš and Milos had a good relationship, and Babiš still did not want things to become so tense at this crucial moment that would determine the fate of the nation.
Milos retorted, "You said the news from Russia might be deceiving us, but doesn't the US and Aurora's side also have the possibility of deceiving us?"
What "wet tribe"? It's all so mysterious, like orcas and dolphins rebelling? Who believes that?! Maybe it's all an aurora conspiracy. They used their AI technology to hack the robots in Europe! And since they've been listening to them, they're taking advantage of the situation to cause trouble.
It looks like they're helping us now, but in reality, they just want our command. If our army isn't in our own hands anymore, what kind of security will we have?
I think we can take the news from Da Mao's side with a grain of salt. Let's see how things go first.
I now feel that the aurora borealis is trying to take benefits away from us Czechs.
Babiš said helplessly, "How much security do you think we Czechoslovakians can have with our own army? We only have 30 T-72s, which are all decades-old tanks."
The BMP-2 infantry fighting vehicle is also a product of the Soviet Union in the 1970s.
Besides our artillery, what other advantages do we have?
Oh right, and the planes too. We only have 14 Swedish-made JAS-39s, and they're not even our own; we rented them from them!
Tell me, what kind of security do we have? Now that Poland has opened a breach, how are we going to defend ourselves?
Besides, what benefits do we have that would make Aurora go through all this trouble?
My view remains that, regardless of the overall purpose of the aurora borealis, we cannot resist it.
Milos remained silent, though deep down he felt that what others said might be true, but he couldn't forget the message he had received earlier.
Before the Wet Tribe launched their attack, the Russians sent a message to the Czech Republic using a very old frequency.
This frequency has been silent for decades; it was a communication channel during the Cold War.
Years have passed, and although the Czech Republic no longer believes that the passage will ever be used again, it still maintains its presence as is customary.
The last message Da Mao gave them was to be careful that Aurora might take the opportunity to seize military power.
This one sentence, which seemed completely nonsensical, sparked a long-standing debate within the Czech Republic.
They weren't sure if it was sent to sow discord or if it was truly Mao's final message before his defeat.
Based on various wild speculations, there are two main guesses among the Czech leadership.
The first possibility is that the Wet Tribe wants to use this to make them reject the Aurora's command and then directly occupy the Czech Republic.
The second possibility is that Aurora has been working in concert with the Wet Clan, or at least there is some kind of tacit understanding between them. Aurora is using the threat posed by the Wet Clan to advance its influence in human society.
September arrived, and the flames of war had raged across Europe for nearly a month.
Babiš drew his own conclusions from the situation on all sides, and both of his guesses may be correct.
The Wet Clan intended to use this dubious information to delay Czech Republic's access to Aurora's command.
Aurora didn't really have the determination to eliminate the Wet Clan; it had a bit of a "keeping the enemy around" feel to it.
Just then, the communications officer standing nearby stood up: "Report! The Alliance Command has sent a message saying that a large number of mechs have been detected moving in the direction of Poland and are advancing towards us! They were built by Google in France and Germany, and there are a lot of them."
They instructed us to take timely defensive measures and to call for support if needed.
Babiš decided not to wait any longer and directly ordered: "Ask Aurora directly in plain language that our military strength is severely insufficient and whether we can be directly incorporated into Aurora's military defense system, just like those countries in the Middle East."
"Get the artillery ready at the front. Don't worry about the future. Use up all the shells you have. Just hold out until the Aurora arrives."
Milos opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing more.
