Chapter 657 European Flurry

"Prime Minister, in my opinion, the French are the ones who are troubled by the Germans when forming an army." But Chamberlain shrugged his shoulders and said to Baldwin: "What does this have to do with our British Empire?! Perhaps, we

It can also do some business with the Germans because of this.”

"Germany has no way to build an excellent fleet, and it is not possible to build an excellent fleet in a day or two. Without a powerful fleet, the English Channel is our best protection."

As he said that, Chamberlain smiled and looked around everyone and said, "Since that's the case, why should we worry about anything?! What should we worry about should be that the French in Germany's Ruhr area were swallowed in one breath on the Treaty of Versailles.

?!"

Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they heard this. In their opinion, this was indeed the case. At the end of World War I, Britain and the United States did not agree to severely punish Germany, in order to balance the power.

Unfortunately, the French had to be severely punished for their tough demands! They even had to restrict the German army, possession of Ruhr and even set up the Rein demilitarized zone and prohibit the implementation of a compulsory military service system, and did not allow Germany to have any air force weapons.

There is no doubt that the French were gritting their teeth for Germany's hatred. Instead, they were afraid to the core. As neighbors, they knew the horror of the Germans deeply! They did not want this country to rise again, they wanted him to sink.

After all, the United States is far away from the European continent, while the United Kingdom is a strait away from the mainland. As long as there are no more powerful countries on the mainland, France can still lead the way.

But this is something that Britain does not want to see. But due to some political and economic reasons, Britain and the United States finally agreed to France's demands to severely punish Germany.

"In short, the Germans will not affect us. So, why should we pay attention to him so much?!" Chamberlain continued to say to everyone: "The European continent where the French dominates is not the European continent we want to see

.”

Everyone present couldn't help but nod. The name of the British European scoundrel was not in vain. Basically, they would get involved in any of the things that were beneficial to the European continent and then make things unrecognizable.

Of course, this is also related to their own environment. If the mainland is unified as a country, it will not be good news for the island of England, which is isolated overseas.

Therefore, no matter who wants to unify the continent of Europe, their first and last enemy is Britain. Even in later generations, Britain and the only European country that refuses to use the euro, still retains their own pounds.

The most powerful thing about the mess is the referendum held by the Prime Minister to leave the EU.

The policies guided by this kind of thinking can be imagined, so no one opposed Chamberlain's statement. Instead, they nodded one after another and said yes.

Historically, if Britain had resolutely united France and other countries at the beginning to curb Germany's development, the bearded might not have dared to take risks and start a war.

It was also the British's indulgence that led to the beard fully arming the war that eventually triggered. It can only be said that the British took off the game and directly killed the French team.

Then he was dizzy when he was hit by the beard and smashed into the door in one breath. He realized that the hungry wolf he had released was unavailable. If Dunkirk had good luck, the tank troops, which were only 10 miles from this port, would be picked up by the tank troops.

When Hitler personally issued the order to stop advancing, most of the combat power of the entire British and French coalition forces would be lost there.

Although more than 300,000 people ran away, the equipment was left behind. The British-French joint transport brigade was more powerful than Chang Shen Kaigong. They left nearly 1,200 cannons and 750 anti-aircraft cannons for the Germans.

500 anti-tank guns, 63,000 cars, 75,000 motorcycles, 700 tanks, 21,000 machine guns, 6,400 anti-tank guns and 500,000 tons of military supplies.

The ones brought back to the British Island were just some rifles and hundreds of machine guns and other light weapons.

By the way, the British and French Transportation Brigade left more than 40,000 labor force to the Germans and added 28,000 war merits. It achieved remarkable results!

"Of course, restrictions on Germany are necessary." But Chamberlain changed his tone and said to everyone: "In this way! We can agree to the French's request and work with them to curb Germany."

Chamberlain paused and continued, "As for containment... we can consider doing it on land by France. And we are just providing some sea support!"

The British gentlemen in the conference room burst into laughter again. What kind of decent navy is there in Germany?! The United Kingdom comes to provide maritime support, which is just an easy task. On land, there will be French people to have a headache!

On April 2, 1937, Germany explained in detail why it chose the broad army. The explanation they proposed was that France changed the military service law five days ago.

France has issued laws to reduce the age of service from 21 to 20 and increase the service period of one year to 2 years. In fact, France's approach can only make up for the "empty years" of military service caused by the decline in birth rate during World War I.

Another reason that Germany explained was that the Soviet war was unknown and that Germany was threatened by the red. Therefore, it was necessary to have certain force to protect itself.

France's military expansion and Soviet war made Hitler seize this opportunity. Of course! He did not choose to challenge France from the beginning. This was unwise, he was just making temptations step by step.

Hitler promulgated the National Defense Law in Berlin, announcing that the German Wehrmacht implemented a universal compulsory military service system. During peacetime, it had 12 armies and 36 divisions, totaling about 500,000 people. Of course, the external claim was to protect itself.

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

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

Go on!

Did you say that your time was too early?! Hitler summoned his staff to discuss the matter, but everyone's opinion was that this should be just a gesture. If these three countries had the intention to deal with Germany, then the signing would be not only

It's just an agreement!

"Dear Head of State, I don't think there is anything to worry too much." In the German government's conference room, Joseph Goebbels said to Hitler: "First of all, the Three Kingdoms did not submit this matter to the League of Nations. This shows that they actually took care of it.

That means they are actually not confident enough.”

The rest nodded, and in fact, everyone noticed that France and Britain did not submit the matter to the League of Nations.

"Secondly, what we should note is that the United States did not participate in this agreement..." Goebbels smiled and continued: "I admire the decision of the Head of State very much!"

"In my opinion, they are indeed eyeing us. But unfortunately, we are no longer as powerless as before!" As he said that, Goebbels slowly stood up and said with a little excited:

"We now have hundreds of tanks! We have nearly a thousand fighter jets! Those damn Frenchmen must be scared!"

What Goebbels said was deeply attracted by Hitler! He couldn't help but applaud. Who dared not applaud if the head of state applauded? So no matter what everyone was thinking in their hearts, they all started applauding on the surface.

.

"In my opinion, these three countries are not one. They always have their own considerations, so we can solve them in different ways. Diplomatic efforts can be implemented in Britain and Italy."

But Goebbels smiled and said to everyone: "We can see that the British series of actions are not the same as the French. I believe that the French dominance on the European continent is not their willingness.

Seen..."

Everyone nodded in agreement. The European shit stirring stick is not a false reputation! It is a truly invincible shit stirring stick.

"In Italy, their interests are also being influenced by Britain and France. I believe we can still communicate with us..."

Hitler nodded and said to Foreign Minister Constantine von Newright: "Constantine, this matter is left to you! Be sure to communicate well with these two parties, even if you give up some of the interests, it is OK.

.But remember: our bottom line is to legally expand our troops! Hold weapons!"

"As you wish! My respected head of state!!" Constantine stood up and responded loudly! Constantine was also a nobleman of Junker, and the title he possessed was a baron. In fact, his foreign policy was not

Meaning Hitler's taste.

Therefore, Hitler was planning to remove his position. Then he handed over the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to the more cunning Ribbintrop. In Hitler's view, only Ribbintrop, who "can buy French champagne with others.

Only when a man who buys German champagne at the price can he fight for his best interests in diplomacy!

Constantine also knew his situation, and he knew that it would be only a matter of time before he could be swept out by the head of state.

The most important topic is over, so the meeting naturally has no need to continue. Constantine didn't know that after the meeting ended, a thin man in the diplomatic office had already started his own actions!

As soon as the meeting ended, the thin man flew to London as a non-diplomat without hesitation! Then, he directly found Chamberlain.

At Chamberlain's home, the old man who was about to become Prime Minister of the British Empire looked at the young man in front of him with a little interest. Why should he negotiate with him?!

"Dear Neville, what I hope you know is that I will be more influential than someone in front of the Head of State." The visitor said to Chamberlain as soon as he opened his mouth: "Since 1932, I have been for my Head of State.

Work."
