On August 2, 4632, German President Hindenburg died. This gave Adolf Hitler a golden opportunity. Through his nearly two years in power, he has quickly won the hearts and minds of the people.

Adolf Hitler's government was quite successful in both domestic and foreign affairs. Opposition parties were outlawed by procedures and means that did not contravene democracy, factories in the heavy industrial zone on the west bank of the Rhine were restored to normal operations, and Germany emerged from its status as a defeated country and regained a large amount of sovereignty. With the exception of the loyal followers of the banned parties, the majority of the German people were not opposed, or even strongly approves, of the disappearance of opposition parties and trade unions. The 14-year rule of the Weimar Republic was a complete humiliating disaster for them, and the people's standard of living was greatly reduced compared to the pre-World War I imperial period, so they did not have a good opinion of this democratic~dominant form of government and its party; The old trade unions were unable to secure even a minimum employment rate and a minimum subsistence guarantee for workers, let alone others. In the year 4631 of the Yellow Emperor, Hitler not only sent a few opposition members to prison, but also allowed more people to see the hope of life.

After the death of President Hindenburg, Adolf Hitler became Germany's supreme leader, becoming the head of state as president, chancellor and supreme commander of the armed forces. This further inflated Adolf Hitler's ambitions.

On October 14, 4631 A.D., the German government sent a telegram to the chairman of the Conference on Disarmament, claiming that the "countries with large arms" would neither disarm nor meet Germany's demand for arms equality, and Germany had decided to withdraw from the Conference. On 19 October, Germany announced its withdrawal from the League of Nations. In this way, it is freed from the shackles imposed on it by international organizations and conferences.

On March 16, 4633, Adolf Hitler promulgated the "National Defense Law" in Berlin, openly violating the military provisions of the Treaty of Versailles, declaring that the Wehrmacht would implement a universal compulsory military service system, with 12 armies and 36 divisions in peacetime, with a total of about 500,000 people. Germany's excuse was that France had changed its military service law five days earlier (lowering the age of conscription from 21 to 20 years and increasing the one-year service period to two years), but in fact France's approach could only make up for the "empty years" caused by the decline in the birth rate during World War I, but Germany took the opportunity to openly tear up the military clause of the Treaty of Versailles, making Germany's arms expansion open and legitimized.

This made Germany completely a normal country, and no longer a defeated country, of course, the troops stationed in the Rhine demilitarized zone by Britain, France and Belgium still caused Germany to suffer great humiliation. Without the repossession of the Rhine Demilitarized Zone, Germany would never be able to become a truly normal state.

Germany's growing economy and military strength were constantly expanding, which made the Führer's ambition begin to grow like weeds. He set his sights on the Rhine Demilitarized Zone, hoping to reclaim the land.

On February 27, 4634 of the Yellow Emperor Era, the time that the head of state had been waiting for had finally come. On this very day, the French Chamber of Deputies ratified the Franco-Soviet Treaty of Mutual Assistance. The French did this solely because Germany posed a serious threat to France after tearing up the Treaty of Versailles and beginning to rebuild its armaments. Although, in the last world war, France won the war. However, they paid a very heavy price. This time, if war broke out again, the French were not sure that they would be able to win again. Even if it were to win again, the price would be too heavy and extremely unfavorable to France.

Under these circumstances, the French approached Soviet Russia in the hope of forming an alliance between France and Russia against Germany, as they had done decades earlier. Once war broke out, it would be able to flank Germany.

Of course, the French naturally gave the Germans an excuse by doing so.

On February 28, the Führer convened senior military and political officials in Germany to discuss how to solve the problem.

"Gentlemen, the vile French are again involved with the Russians, and they intend to form an alliance that poses a serious threat to the security of Germany. We have to fight back against them. Otherwise, we will be threatened with war. Adolf Hitler's hysterical rants were as if Germany had suffered some betrayal.

"My Führer, how do you want to counter the French?" Hermann Goering asked.

"Here! Our army has to march in here and reclaim it. In this way, we will have greater strategic depth and be able to deal with our powerful enemy. What's more, our compatriots living here are being oppressed by foreigners. It is our duty to rescue them. Adolf Hitler said.

However, the faces of other high-ranking military and political officials were already a little ugly. Entering the Rhine Demilitarized Zone is not an easy task! If you don't do it well, it will lead to war. And now Germany is not ready for war.

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency the Führer, we have torn up the Treaty of Versailles and re-expanded our armaments, which has aroused strong dissatisfaction among Britain, France, and other countries. If we march into the demilitarized zone of the Rhine again, this will inevitably provoke an even more violent reaction from them. Perhaps, war will break out soon. We are not ready for war at all. Our army is only half a million people. And, there was an acute shortage of tanks, armored vehicles and heavy artillery. The tank, which we have developed on the basis of the technology we received from the Chinese Empire, is still at the experimental stage. In terms of the Air Force, we also have a serious shortage of advanced fighters. If war breaks out at this time, our army will have no chance of victory. The Chief of the General Staff of the German Army, General Ludwig Beck, said with a worried expression. In his opinion, Adolf Hitler's approach was simply looking for death.

"No, my Excellency the Chief of the General Staff. The British and the French simply do not have the courage to go to war with us. As for the Belgians, they have always been on high alert against us, though. However, their strength is too weak. If it weren't for Britain and France, they wouldn't have dared to go to war with us at all. The valiant German* army, as long as it marched into the Rhine demilitarized zone, they would have compromised and retreated. Adolf Hitler said confidently.

"But, Your Excellency, it is too risky. In the event of the slightest negligence, Germany would immediately fall into the abyss and fall to pieces. Colonel General Ludwig Beck said.

Clearly, the military was very unsympathetic to Adolf Hitler's risky actions, believing that he was dragging Germany into another war. And it is impossible to win the war.

Adolf Hitler's face immediately became less pretty. After becoming the head of Germany, he became more and more intolerant of the doubts of others. This is a great challenge to his prestige.

"Coward! You cowards. Are you all scared by the paper tigers of the British and French? If you don't even have the courage to enter the Rhine demilitarized zone, how dare you launch a war of revenge against them in the future? Adolf Hitler roared angrily.

Ludwig Beck and other military generals bowed their heads one by one, their faces full of shame and anger.

"Your Excellency, we may be able to test the British and the French by some other means. If they don't react much, we can do it. Foreign Minister Ribbentrop said.

Adolf Hitler nodded: "You can try." By the way, don't forget to reach out to our Chinese friends, we need their support on this issue. Of course, I am sure that they will support us. ”

"Yes, Your Excellency." Ribbentrop nodded.

Then, Germany frequently began to make radical remarks about the Rhine Demilitarized Zone, claiming that Britain, France, Belgium and other countries stationed troops in the Rhine Demilitarized Zone, which was a restriction on Germany and an insult to Germany. The Germans living in the Demilitarized Zone of the Rhine were being oppressed by Britain, France and Belgium and were living in the midst of water and fire. The German government must find a way to rescue its miserable compatriots.

The German people are also very angry about this. The full recovery of the German economy and the recovery of various independent rights have made it more and more urgent for them to become a normal country. The existence of the Rhine Demilitarized Zone is like a moat, blocking them in front of them. Only by crossing this barrier will Germany become a truly normal country. Therefore, they had to work hard to climb over this moat.

German Foreign Minister Ribbentrop also secretly called on Jiang Yuyan, the Chinese imperial ambassador to Germany, and consulted the Chinese side on Germany's intention to take back the Rhine demilitarized zone.

In response, Ambassador Jiang Yuyan told the Germans that the Chinese Empire supported their actions. The Demilitarized Zone of the Rhine should not have existed in the first place. If Germany were attacked by Britain, France, Belgium and other countries because of its advance into the Rhine demilitarized zone, the Chinese Empire would fully support them.

The Chinese Empire originally wanted to stimulate the ambitions of the Germans step by step, making them the-stirring sticks of the whole of Europe. The Germans took the initiative to march into the Rhine Demilitarized Zone, which was exactly what the Chinese Empire wanted to see.

Having received the assurances of the Chinese Empire, Adolf Hitler was overjoyed and immediately ordered the German* army to begin preparations.

On March 7, 4634, Adolf Hitler ordered 19 German battalions and 12 artillery batteries, totaling more than 30,000 men, to enter the Rhein Demilitarized Zone. At noon on the same day, he made a speech to the Diet, attacking the Franco-Soviet treaty of mutual assistance in violation of the Locarno Convention, declaring that Germany was no longer bound by the treaty in question and decided to restore its "complete and unrestricted sovereignty" over the Rhine region.
