In the first year of Jianlong in the Northern Song Dynasty, classmate Zhao Kuangyin, who was inspected by the Zhou Dynasty in the Later Zhou Dynasty, joined the yellow robe in Chenqiaoyi and established the Song Dynasty by stepping on the orphans and widows of the Chai family. The father of Poland, Mieszko I, also established a unified Polish country in Europe.
There was a highlight moment after the founding of the Song Dynasty. Before the famous Sorghum River chariot god Zhao Er performed a donkey drift, the Liao Kingdom was even ready to surrender - the Liao Kingdom emperor always believed that his surname should be Liu, which is the elder.
The descendants of the rogue classmate Liu Bang thought it was not shameful to surrender to classmate Zhao Er, who was also the emperor of the Central Plains.
Poland also had a period of prosperity after its founding, and was even the strongest Slavic country on the Eastern European plains for a time. Myszko I first unified Greater Poland and Kujati, and then defeated Vialelet of West Pomerania.
country, and defeated the German lord Hodo I who was fighting for this place at the Battle of Cedini, unified Pomorie, and later defeated the Czech prince Boleslav II and occupied Silesia.
Perhaps the year around 960 AD may not be suitable for the founding of the country - the Song Dynasty was sliding all the way towards the abyss of great prosperity, and Poland's old watch also quickly started to go downhill.
In the 11th century, civil strife began to occur in Poland, and the princes were divided into separate states. In the 13th century, the Mongols launched their eldest son's Western Expedition, and their troops were directed towards the plains of Eastern Europe. At that time, the Mongolian cavalry was at its peak, and everything it passed was destroyed.
Except for breaking the whip under Diaoyu City, the remaining opponents were basically taken away in one wave.
As one of the countries in Central and Eastern Europe, Poland was naturally not spared. It was trampled to pieces by the iron hoofs of the Mongols, especially in the Battle of Rignitz, when the Polish Archduke Henry II personally led tens of thousands of troops to fight against the Mongolian 8,000 partial divisions.
As a result, Poland was swept across and the entire army was defeated. Even the commander Henry II was killed.
The Mongols had everything they wanted from Poland in the east, but things were actually not that easy in the west. The Teutonic Knights in Prussia next door had always coveted Poland's land and population, and even once occupied the northeastern part of Poland - the key is this Teutonic Knights
The group was brought in by the Poles themselves.
Originally, the Teutonic Knights were just a group of wandering warriors in Europe, with no territory of their own and no fixed residence. Until the beginning of the 13th century, the Poles invited the Teutonic Knights to work as thugs because they were at a disadvantage in the battle with Prussia.
, the price was to donate the Prussian area to the Teutonic Knights as territory.
Therefore, after helping Poland defeat the Prussians, the Teutonic Knights did not leave. Instead, they took root in Prussia, established state power here, and became neighbors with Poland. This was the predecessor of Prussia and Germany. Mercenaries
The Teutonic Knights, who were born in the Order, have always lived a life of licking blood from the edge of a knife, and their force is quite powerful. Being neighbors with such a group of people, Poland naturally suffered a disadvantage, as a large area of land was occupied by the Teutonic Knights.
For almost the entire 13th century, Poland was in such a period of internal and external troubles. Its strength declined and its territory was lost. By the beginning of the 14th century, the territory actually controlled by Poland was less than one-third of what it was when the country was founded, and its population was less than that year.
half of.
Fortunately, a wise leader Casimir appeared in Poland at this time. He relied on his outstanding leadership skills to unify Poland again. Afterwards, Poland's national power increased rapidly and it soon returned to the list of European powers, especially at the end of the 14th century.
, Poland and Lithuania entered a new level after forming an alliance.
Most of Poland's so-called prosperous times in history appeared in the gaps between the rise of these great powers. Once they succeeded in rising, Poland could only stand at attention and be beaten.
For example, although the Teutonic Knights mentioned earlier were once reduced to vassals of their old Polish cousins and were dealt with in various ways by their old Polish cousins, by the 18th century, the rising Kingdom of Prussia became the main force in carving up Poland.
For another example, Poland once beat Mao violently and even captured Moscow. However, this was not because of how strong Poland was, but because Mao was in a period of weakness at that time. The tsarist court was controlled by Poland and had many conflicts with local forces.
There is no way to take care of external disputes.
Then when Da Mao solved his own internal problems, he freed up his hands and casually dealt with the old Polish cousin. Even at that time, Poland was not Da Mao's main opponent. People valued Sweden and the Ottomans more.
To put it simply, Poland is like South Korea during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. It is caught between major powers and is a typical place of the Four World Wars. And its neighbors are untouchable, and even if they are beaten, they will only be beaten.
You can consider yourself unlucky.
Of course, not all countries caught in the gap will be beaten. If this country can assess the situation and move reasonably among its neighbors, not only will it not be beaten, but it will also be able to get a lot of benefits from both sides. However, if you want to create such a situation,
It requires good strategic vision and diplomatic skills. But the Polish veteran is obviously not very good at this.
Take Poland during the second full-scale launch of Little Breaking Ball as an example. The reason why it was divided and destroyed by Mao Xiong and Germany Three has a lot to do with its own poor performance——
The old Polish cousin first took advantage of Germany's defeat in the war and gained a large amount of lost territory from Germany. This included the "Polish Corridor" between East and West Prussia leading to the Baltic Sea. The loss of the "Polish Corridor" caused Germany to be divided.
For two, East Prussia became an enclave of Germany.
This kind of operation made the Germans very uncomfortable. They had always wanted to get back the "Polish Corridor" to connect Germany together. It was this territorial issue that became the trigger for Germany to attack Poland in the future.
After retaliating against Germany, Poland immediately launched the Soviet-Polish War and attacked the newly born Mao Xiong. Although the entire war process was almost 50-50, the relationship between the two countries caused by the war continued to be tense, which also paved the way for the Soviet Union to attack Poland in the future.
, laid the groundwork.
It is obvious that Poland is undoubtedly digging a hole for itself in its two retaliations against Mao Xiong and De San.
You must know that Poland is a country caught in a crack, and as a country caught in a crack, the most important thing to do is to improve the relationship with its neighbors. To put it bluntly, "the most important thing comes first", and surviving in the crack is the best way.
However, Poland was stubborn and didn't care about the geopolitical situation. It only wanted to take revenge. As a result, it offended two neighbors at once, and when it was beaten, no one stood up and said a word.
——As long as Poland had hugged the thighs of either Desan or Maoxiong at that time, it would not have been carved up by Desan and Maoxiong.
Of course, even if it offended Germany and the Soviet Union at the same time, Poland still had a chance. After all, Poland's biggest backers at the time were Britain and France. Logically speaking, if Britain and France could help in time when Germany attacked Poland, Poland might still have a chance to survive.
, however, Britain and France just stood aside and gave Poland the greatest moral support, without sending a single soldier.
The reason why Britain and France stood still was not only because of the weakness of the government and the policy of appeasement, but also because of their distrust of Poland.
After the end of World War I, Britain and France introduced many restrictive measures to prevent Germany from becoming stronger again. Among them, they supported Poland, Czechoslovakia and other countries in Central Europe to form multiple shackles to block Germany's eastward expansion. Germany knew very well that if it
If they want to make a comeback, the first thing they need to do is break the shackles that Britain and France have put on themselves. So they chose to attack Czechoslovakia.
When Germany annexed Czechoslovakia, the interdependent Poland not only did not help, but took advantage of the situation and sent troops to attack the neighboring country together with Germany. This operation of Poland not only accelerated the demise of Czechoslovakia, but also lost the support of Britain, France and other countries.
trust.
Of course, for Germany and Mao Xiong, Poland's actions undoubtedly strengthened their determination to take action. After all, this guy is too capricious. He jumps around all day long. Who knows if he will suddenly give himself a knife in the future?
In the end, in a rather "isolated" international environment, the Polish wives completed the initiative of being partitioned and destroyed for the second time.
Just such a fairy-like Polish old cousin... It would be fine if this guy only verbally supports the manor owners of Sand Goose. After all, the manor owners of Sand Goose are having a lively fight with the slaves.
No one cares about old Polish watches either.
The key is that the old Polish cousins were not willing to just shout a few slogans, but actually took action - the old Polish cousins directly pulled a bunch of cavalry, and then ran to the door of Sand Goose's house openly, shouting "
If you trash manor owners can't handle it, take it over for me!" he shouted while attacking the slaves of Sand Goose.
The old Polish cousin took action against those sand goose slaves who chanted the slogan "Who said we have nothing, we want to be the masters of the world"!
It's so pitiful that even Emperor Zhu was reluctant to provoke those slaves who shouted the slogan "Burn that furnace red", but his Polish cousin dared to provoke them!
Think about it, when Little Broken Ball was fully released for the second time, the slaves of the Sand Goose family who had "nothing" sang Katyusha loudly and successfully promoted Desan outside Moscow - although there were some people at that time
It's winter in Moscow, and Sand Goose's army is in red bear mode, but it's enough to show how capable the Sand Goose slaves are!
Of course, it would be okay if you just provoked the slaves of the Shage family. After all, the slaves of the Shage family still have to fight with the manor owners. The key is that the Polish old man realized that the weather had cleared up and the rain had stopped, and he himself
Okay - this guy is here again
If it was just a matter between an art student and an old Polish cousin, Emperor Zhu wouldn't have a headache because of Sand Goose.
