"Prime Minister, it seems to me that the Germans should have a headache for the French in forming an army." saw Chamberlain shrug his shoulders and said to Baldwin: "What does this have to do with our British Empire?!" Perhaps, we can do some business with the Germans because of this. ”

"Germany simply does not have a way to build a great fleet, and a great fleet cannot be built in a day or two. Without a strong fleet, the English Channel is our best protection. ”

As he spoke, Chamberlain smiled and looked around at everyone and said, "In that case, why should we worry about anything?!" The French who swallowed the Ruhr region of Germany in one fell swoop on the Treaty of Versailles should be worried, right?! ”

The crowd couldn't help but laugh when they heard this, and it seemed to them that it was. 1. Chapter 657 At the end of the European Flurry War, Britain and the United States were not in favor of severely punishing Germany. In order to balance the forces.

It's a pity that the tough demands of the French must be punished severely! It was even necessary to restrict the German army, occupy the Ruhr and even establish the Rhine demilitarized zone, prohibit compulsory military service, and prohibit any German air force weapons.

There is no doubt that the French are gnashing their teeth at the hatred of Germany. Rather, they were terrified to the bone, and as neighbors they knew the horrors of the Germans deeply! They don't want the country to rise again, they want him to sink.

After all, the United States is far from the European continent, while Britain is separated from the mainland by a strait. As long as there are no more powerful countries on the continent, France can still dominate.

And this is something that Britain does not want to see. However, for some political and economic reasons, Britain and the United States finally agreed to France's demand and severely punished Germany.

"The Germans are doing this, and it doesn't affect us. So, why should we bother with him so much?! Chamberlain continued to say to the crowd: "The European continent that the French are the only ones is not the European continent we want to see. ”

Everyone present couldn't help but nod. The name of Britain's European-stirring stick is not Chapter 657 Europe Messing Around for nothing, basically as long as it is beneficial to the European continent, they will participate in it, and then turn things beyond recognition.

Of course, this also has to do with their own environment. If the mainland were to be unified as one country, it would not be good news for the isolated British Island.

Yes. Whoever wanted to dominate the continent would have their first and final enemy being the British. Even in later generations, Britain was the only European power that refused to use the euro and kept its own pound.

And the most poop-stirring thing is the prime minister's referendum to leave the European Union.

The policy under the guidance of this ideology can be imagined, so that no one objected to Chamberlain's statement. Instead, they nodded yes.

Historically, if Britain had resolutely united with France and other countries to contain Germany's development at the beginning, the mustache might not have dared to start a war recklessly.

It was the connivance of the British that led to the mustache fully arming himself in the final war. It can only be said that the British took off the game. Directly let the French regiment be annihilated.

Then he was dizzy when he was hit on the door by a mustache, and he realized that the hungry wolf he released was something he couldn't deal with. Had Dunkirk been lucky, and the tank units, only 10 miles from the port, had received Hitler's personal order to halt their advance, most of the Anglo-French forces would have been lost there.

Although more than 300,000 people ran away, the equipment remained. The Anglo-French combined transport brigade was more powerful than Chang Shen Kaigong, and they left the Germans nearly 1,200 cannons, 750 anti-aircraft guns, 500 anti-tank guns, 63,000 vehicles, 75,000 motorcycles, 700 tanks, 21,000 machine guns, 6,400 anti-tank guns, and 500,000 tons of military supplies.

What was brought back to the island was nothing more than a small number of rifles and hundreds of machine guns and other light weapons.

By the way, the Anglo-French transport brigade left the Germans with a labor force of more than 40,000 people and added 28,000 war exploits. Success!

"Of course, restrictions on Germany are necessary." saw Chamberlain's words change. He said to the crowd, "That's it! We can accede to the demands of the French and contain Germany with them. ”

Chamberlain paused and continued: "As for containment...... We could consider doing it by France on land. And we're just going to provide support at sea! ”

The English gentlemen in the conference room burst into laughter again, what decent navy is there in Germany ?! Britain came to provide maritime support, which could not have been easier. On land, there are French people who have a headache!

On April 2, 1937, Germany explained in detail why it had chosen to serve as a soldier. The explanation they put forward is that France changed its military service law five days ago.

France introduced a law to lower the age of conscription from 21 to 20 years and increase the one-year service period to two years, but in fact, France's approach can only make up for the "empty years" caused by the decline in the birth rate during World War I.

Another reason for Germany's explanation was that the Soviet Union's unclear war situation had led to the red threat to Germany. Therefore, it is necessary to have a certain amount of force to protect itself.

The expansion of the French army and the war in the Soviet Union made Hitler seize this opportunity tightly. Of course! He didn't choose to challenge France in the first place. This is unwise, he is merely tempting step by step.

Hitler promulgated the National Defense Act in Berlin, declaring that the Wehrmacht would have universal compulsory military service, with 12 corps and 36 divisions with a total of about 500,000 men in peacetime. Of course. The external claim is to protect oneself.

Although this explanation was given, the nations were still not satisfied! On April 2, France, led by Britain, France, Italy, and the three major European countries, submitted a letter of protest directly to Germany!

Subsequently, on April 5, the three countries announced that they would form an alliance to jointly fight against Germany, and the three countries also solemnly signed the "Agreement on the Common Defense of France, Britain and Italy"! Saw the performance of three countries. Hitler's heart sank gradually!

Could it be that your time is too far in advance?! Hitler summoned his staff to discuss the matter, but the view was that it was merely a gesture. If all three countries had the intention of cleaning up Germany, then it would be more than just an agreement that had been signed!

"Honorable Führer, I don't think there's a need to worry too much." In the conference room of the German government, Joseph. Goebbels turned to Hitler and said, "First of all, the three countries did not submit this matter to the League of Nations. This shows that they actually have something to take into account, which means that they are not confident enough. ”

The rest nodded, and in fact everyone noticed that neither France nor England had brought the matter to the League of Nations.

"Secondly, we should note that the United States did not participate in this agreement......" Goebbels smiled and continued: "I have great admiration for the Führer's decision!" ”

"It seems to me that they are all eyeing us. But alas, we're not as powerless as we used to be! Saying that, Goebbels slowly stood up and said with a little excitement: "We now have hundreds of tanks!" There are nearly 1,000 fighters! Those damn Frenchmen must be scared! ”

Goebbels said this to Hitler's heart! He couldn't help but applaud, who would dare not applaud after the capital applauded?! So no matter what everyone was thinking in their hearts, they all began to applaud on the surface.

"In my opinion, these three countries are not one. They always have their own considerations, so we can divide and solve them. Diplomatic efforts, we can implement on Britain and Italy. ”

But Goebbels smiled and said to everyone: "We can already see that the British are not of the same mind as the French. Presumably, the French are the dominant family on the European continent, and it is not what they want to see......"

Everyone nodded in agreement, the European-stirring stick is not in vain! That's a real invincible-stirrer.

"Italy, their interests are also being influenced by Britain and France. I guess we can still communicate......"

Hitler nodded at Foreign Minister Konstantin. Feng. Nuwright said, "Konstantin, this matter will be left to you!" It is important to communicate well with these two parties, even if it is okay to give away a part of the benefits. But remember: our bottom line is to legitimately expand our forces! Hold a weapon! ”

"As you wish! My Honorable Führer!! Konstantin stood up and answered loudly! Constantine was also a Junker nobleman, and he held the title of baron. In fact, his foreign policy was not to Hitler's taste.

Therefore, Hitler was planning whether to remove him from his position. And then hand over the Foreign Ministry to the even more cunning Ribbentrop. In Hitler's view, only Ribbentrop, "the man who could buy German champagne at the price that someone else buys French champagne", could diplomatically fight for his best interests!

Konstantin also knew his situation, and he knew that it would only be a matter of time before he was swept away by the Führer if he did not show a certain talent.

When the main agenda item is over, there is no need for the meeting to continue. Konstantin did not know that after the meeting had dispersed, a certain skinny man in the diplomatic office had already started his own actions!

As soon as the meeting ended, the thin man did not hesitate to secretly fly directly to London as a non-diplomat! Then, I found Chamberlain directly.

In Chamberlain's home, the old man, who was about to become Prime Minister of the British Empire, was nearly seventy years old, and looked at the young man in front of him with a little interest. On what basis did he negotiate with himself?!

"Dear Neville, what I want you to know is that in the presence of the Führer, I will be more influential than someone." As soon as he opened his mouth, he said to Chamberlain: "Since 1932 I have been working for my Führer. ”
