Yes, Prime Minister of Japan

Navrotsky, however, did not think he had done anything wrong.

The blitzkrieg in Berlin was a simple adventure, but dealing with the insatiably greedy bureaucrats in Brussels was a much more difficult task.

He showed the old man evidence that the Soviet Union would not attack, and then said:

"General, you are too old. Please go home."

"No! I warn you, Poland must..."

Chief of Staff Kukuza was dismissed on the spot, and the president assumed the role of Chief of Staff.

Shortly afterward, Polish Defense Minister Kamisz was also dismissed, and the president took on the role of defense minister concurrently.

After a brief period of political conflict, Navrodsky forcibly ordered the army to mobilize, intending to take advantage of the weekend to defeat Germany.

The cold winds of late spring were still blowing, and the Polish soldiers, still at a loss, drove their Panther tanks across the Koszczan railway bridge on the Oder River and into Küstriner in eastern Germany.

In front were Leopard 2 tanks, behind them were South Korean K1 tanks and K9 self-propelled artillery, and in the air were F-35 fighter jets. Although none of them were domestically produced, they were far superior to the German army.

The Germans stood bewildered on both sides of the road:

"What happened?"

The long period of peace makes it difficult for Germans to perceive what is currently happening.

Has the Soviet Union invaded? Has Poland been defeated again?

Many East Germans began quietly packing their bags, while a small number started planning how to welcome the Soviet Union back.

"We have unimpeded access!"

The Polish army encountered almost no resistance.

Because there was no resistance in sight, except for the 6th Home Defense Regiment near Berlin, and such militia units were definitely not in their camps on weekends.

Today is Saturday, so virtually no German soldiers are on duty. Although not all German soldiers actually have weekends off, in practice, most soldiers find various ways to escape on weekends.

Even if the German army does manage to muster the strength to deal with Poland, the average age of its soldiers has risen from 33.1 years in 2021 to 36.5 years now. A group of elderly soldiers, similar to the Japanese Self-Defense Forces, how much combat effectiveness can they possibly generate?

The German army had neither recruits nor anyone capable of fighting.

To paraphrase a famous quote from the book "The Prime Minister," the German military exists solely to increase employment for Germans and reduce social injustice. Therefore, although the German military spends a massive amount of tens of billions of euros annually, its actual purpose is to ensure that everyone from generals to privates receives substantial income.

The Polish army covered a distance of 110 kilometers in two hours, and then crossed the German-Polish border, heading towards the highway east of Berlin.

But to be honest, the Polish soldiers themselves were quite confused.

At the crucial moment, it was the fanatical leader of the Law and Justice party on the bus who broadcast the following message over the loudspeaker to the citizens of Berlin:

"This is the Polish occupation force. The German government has failed to pay its World War II aggression reparations on time, and now Poland is here to collect them!"

Under a gray sky, in front of the gray Brandenburg Gate, Polish troops drove Leopard 2 tanks through the gate.

On the old streets of Berlin, Germans hurrying by hear this news might shake their heads, unsure whether to laugh or cry, making it difficult to understand their feelings at that moment.

Berlin has fallen.

At this moment, the Germans were in an extremely bad mood.

what?

Is that all?

Has Germany's path to revival come to an end?

The whole thing was so absurd that both Germans and Poles thought it was a belated April Fool's joke, or that they were still dreaming.

It turns out this is true.

Polish troops occupied Berlin and launched a citywide manhunt for German politicians and members of the German central bank, in an attempt to force Germany to sign a treaty demanding 3 trillion euros in reparations from Poland.

But Navrodsky probably didn't expect that German politics was already in disarray. After searching the city for most of the day, he discovered that many people had already fled to Paris. Even German Chancellor Merz secretly left the city for Frankfurt, calling on other German troops to join him as soon as possible.

At this moment, as the news spread, the whole world was once again subjected to a huge ideological shock.

The Parisian bureaucrats were dumbfounded.

According to NATO rules, if one country is invaded, all countries should fight back together. But what if a NATO member state attacks another?

The conflict between the two NATO countries should have been governed by Article 5 of the NATO treaty, which mandated a defensive counterattack against Poland by all NATO member states.

Unfortunately, the largest and second largest NATO forces in Europe are Turkey and Poland, with Turkey expanding by 44 and Poland by 30 respectively. How many casualties would NATO have to pay to get these two countries to stop their aggression and fighting?

Would France be willing to go to war for Germany?

Unsurprisingly, the bureaucrats in Brussels were in a state of utter intellectual death; they held several meetings but couldn't come up with a single effective solution.

Europe is doomed!

The devastating blow of Poland's invasion of Germany was not only the breakdown of the NATO system and the collapse of the EU system, but also the collapse of the 'values' that all of Europe had spent 80 years building up after the war.

No one will save Germany.

Except for...that man.

Li Xinghe's game is World Conqueror, backed by China's entire industrial chain, ranging from high difficulty to super easy. The Europeans, on the other hand, play 'Don't Force Me,' carrying pockets full of money but unwilling to invest in any weaponry, thus going from super easy to hellish difficulty.

......

Faraway East Asia.

When news of 'Poland's blitzkrieg against Germany' appeared in the media, the whole of East Asia was in an uproar.

People unanimously call it the 'pre-World War II Heterodox Line' because in 1939, the German General Staff was worried about being attacked by the then-powerful Polish army. On the contrary, Hitler insisted on blitzkrieg against the majority of the people, thus starting World War II.

If Poland were in Germany's position at this time, they could march westward and march all the way to Paris.

Chinese netizens flooded the internet with "Hi, Nawrocsky!" memes, portraying the Polish far-right conservative president as the opposite of the "Nazi meme."

Media outlets around the world are struggling to explain this bizarre behavior, finding it difficult to even call it a war.

At the Qingshan Command Headquarters, everyone looked at the international situation map with relaxed expressions:

"The Poles are now getting involved in the German pressure cooker; they're practically courting death."

Modern Germany is home to nearly 1000 million Turks, a large number of people from Balkan countries, especially Bulgarians and Romanians, and as many as two million Jewish refugees from Israel. In addition, there are several million Ukrainians.

The influx of nearly 20 million German citizens has created a massive social upheaval for the original 70 million-plus German population. Residents of almost every region of Germany are reminiscing about their imagined, idyllic past. (The last sentence is a nonsensical string of characters and doesn't translate directly.)

Residents of East Germany reminisce about the country's prosperity, while residents of West Germany reminisce about the good old days before the unified tax was levied.

At a time of intense national conflict in Germany, the Poles will only sink deeper into the mire by jumping into this pit.

Soon, large-scale ethnic conflicts broke out in immigrant communities across Germany.

Turks raised the Turkish flag, Jews raised the Israeli flag, and Bulgarians, Romanians, Serbs, and even Cypriots and Ukrainians raised their own flags and built barriers in their own communities.

Public transportation, roads, and aircraft across the country were paralyzed. The German army's weak fighting capacity was like dog shit, but the German military warehouses were emptied by various ambitious individuals.

Upon hearing the news, Li Xinghe rubbed his hands together and chuckled.

“Send invitations to all German companies, telling them that the Asia-Pacific Consortium is willing to accept the relocation of all German companies that love East Asia.”

Now is the time to find the final solution for German Industry 404.

Without the engine of German industry, the EU and the Euro will completely perish in freefall.

As for Europe, Li Xinghe issued his final order to Hu Zhantian:

"It's time. Tell Hu Zhantian to launch the Southern Expedition. Destroy the European part of Türkiye and occupy Istanbul."

Chapter 127 Danube Spring Swimming Competition, German Companies' Great Escape, July Persecution in May (4500 words)

Kyiv.

The operational plan outline sent from headquarters was distributed to the General Staff of the European Command, where local staff would supplement it with details.

The staff had already prepared multiple contingency plans, so the entire plan was formulated very quickly.

Old Hu rubbed his hands together, laughed heartily, and made the decision:

"It's almost time!"

If he plays for another two years, his Jiangxi-style stir-fry restaurant can earn three Michelin stars.

During Ukraine's spring and summer transition season, the highest temperature is only 20 degrees Celsius, and the nighttime temperature is no more than 10 degrees Celsius. So the soldiers still wore typical Red Army overcoats as they walked along the railway to their assembly point.

Izmir, a city located on the border of Romania, Ukraine, and Turkey, became the starting point for the entire army's departure.

Led by the Third and Fifth Heavy Mechanized Brigades, followed by model soldiers such as the Workers' Model Division, the Peasants' Model Division, and the First Women's Model Division, and supplemented by a large-scale mobilization infantry division, the Southward Advance Army Group, with more than 20 troops, 1000 Type 99A main battle tanks, and 2000 heavy artillery pieces, delivered a stunning punch.

The rumble of engines shook the earth as tank crews peered out, gazing at the verdant mountains and emerald rivers in the distance.

Overhead, rockets whizzed by, and the sounds of the infantry division commander and the artillery brigade exchanging insults could even be heard on the radio:

"Fire! Fire! Why didn't the rockets destroy their command post immediately?"

"Because rockets aren't missiles, you brainless infantry idiot!"

Amidst the arcs of artillery fire, countless Red Army soldiers crossed the Siret River on the border and planted the red flag on land that originally belonged to Romania.

However, after crossing the river, the soldiers, regardless of gender, began to curse the "Sucabrie General Staff," because they had just crossed the pontoon bridge erected by the Army Engineers and discovered that the road to capturing Tulcea, a major city in southeastern Romania, was entirely swampy.

The General Staff's response only provoked more criticism: "Yes, so the 99A tanks went west along the highway. Your infantry units had river gunboats to support them, so they seized the river mouth cities."

Fortunately, the river gunboats arrived on time, and the Red Army soldiers had to trek across dozens of miles of swamps to launch an offensive against Turcha and blockade the entire Danube estuary.

The heavy troops advanced southwest, attacking the city of Galats, which was inhabited by the Gagze people, descendants of the Orthodox Turks.

The General Staff's overall objective was to send the heavy assault group upstream along the Danube River, encircle the Turkish European Front forces operating in the southern Carpathian Mountains, and wipe them out in one fell swoop.

"The Soviets!"

The Turkish army is not very strong in combat.

Upon seeing the awe-inspiring red flag reappear before them, the Turkish troops in front of them undoubtedly collapsed.

All they did that year was fight a stakeout war against the cannon fodder captured by the EU. They were all unlucky guys who only had a few dozen bottles of Coke a month and nothing but food. Their understanding of war was more inclined towards genocide and nationalist slogans.

Now, watching the sky filled with shells, rockets, and drones, the Turkish army still displayed behavior commensurate with their combat capabilities, collapsing with a bang.

As the new Soviet Union advanced rapidly, the Turkish troops in the southern Carpathian Mountains hurriedly retreated. However, due to the existence of only four bridges across the river, they fled aimlessly along the highway, only to find themselves crowded together with fleeing soldiers and civilians, waiting in line to cross the bridges.

When the Red Army reached the Romanian capital in just two days, the devastation there shocked everyone.

Bucharest, the capital of Romania, has been reduced to ruins by Turkey. The number of dead and wounded is incalculable. The number of Romanians who died of starvation, exhaustion, or torture is so high that it fills the mass graves, giving Turkey an effect similar to the genocide in the Yugoslav Civil War.

However, he quickly got his revenge.

The Romanian National Defense Army, which had marched out alongside the newly formed Soviet Union, showed a remarkable degree of 'friendliness' towards the Turks who had migrated to the Wallachia region. They chased them to the banks of various rivers and streams, shouting at the Turks who were hiding and trying to escape:

"Please come down to the Danube and take a big bath!"

During this period, the Danube River was only in the teens, not very hot, just slightly cool.

So, after a staggering number of Turks were driven into the river, they drifted downstream, bobbing up and down. When they tried to get ashore, they were met with warning shots from the Romanian National Defense Forces on the bank.

It's hard to say exactly how many Turks were driven into the river, but just at one point downstream on a sandbar in the middle of the Kalash River, tens of thousands of bodies were piled up.

After that, not only the Turks, but also the group that served as puppet troops for Türkiye, experienced a spring long swim on the Danube, gradually disappearing into the undulating river.

When Hu Zhantian arrived at the Danube River, there were still a large number of Turks in the water.

Li Xinghe's order was to march directly south and sweep into Istanbul, but looking at the Turks rising and falling in the Danube, watching them go from swimming on their backs to surging forward, and finally becoming a bunch of water turtles, Hu Zhantian believed that the Turkish resistance should not be destroyed so quickly.

"Should we cross the river and launch a full-scale attack on Bulgaria? The army's morale is high."

The staff made the suggestion.

Hu Zhantian shook his head and said:

"No, my idea is that we stop here for now. Then, through our inside sources, we can tell Turkey that we only want the land north of the Danube, and we can also withdraw from the area south of the Danube that we currently control, as long as Türkiye can temporarily cease hostilities with Europe."

Türkiye is too weak, what if they get killed?

"This is related to the General Headquarters..."

Hu Zhantian, however, said:

"I'll go explain to the boss. Isn't it a bit ridiculous to just use Turkey as a shield? Let France and Italy join the German war effort. Let's wreak havoc on Europe and completely deprive them of their last bargaining chips."

His European Command was responsible for two directions. If Turkey were defeated, but Poland were to gain complete and unfettered control over Germany, it would be a net loss.

After all, the purpose of setting up the entire command was to make all of Europe lose all its gold coins.
