"Did the Poles get kicked in the brain by donkeys?" Cheng Qianfan was shocked, "They occupied a small town in Germany.

"God only knows what the Polish is thinking." Pete sighed, "The German head of state has long been very dissatisfied with Poland, which is equivalent to handing over the reason for the war to the Germans."

The two of them came to the lounge in the inner room, and Cheng Qianfan opened the curtain on the wall, and a world map was clearly visible.

Poland is located in the eastern part of Europe.

It is connected to the Soviet Union in the east, Germany in the west, Czechoslovakia in the south, and to the north, the Baltic Sea. It is an important military location.

After World War I, according to the provisions of the Treaty of Versailles, Britain and France dismembered Germany and assigned the Danze area, which originally belonged to Germany, to Poland.

In recent years, Germany has been asking Poland for the Danze region. Poland not only refused harshly, but also took the opportunity to bite Czechoslovakia when Germany invaded the Sudeten area of ​​Czechoslovakia.

At that time, Poland took advantage of the situation and made a territorial request for Chexin, a Polish gathering area in northern Czech Republic.

Poland's territorial requirements were no different from those of Germany. They all asked Czechoslovakia to ced its territory on the grounds that the local area was a settlement of its own ethnic groups.

However, if the Sudetenland is indeed dominated by the Germans, then the Chexin territory required by Poland is completely the greed of the Poles.

Because, even the so-called facade reason proposed by Poland, the prerequisite that the Teqing area is a Polish gathering area does not exist.

There are a total of 228,000 people living on this land of 1,650 square kilometers, of which 140,000 are Czechs. In other words, the Czechs occupy the majority on this land, and the reason for the so-called Polish gathering area does not exist at all.

At that time, the Poles stationed troops in the border of Czechoslovakia and made the move to cooperate with Germany to use force at any time and divide Czechoslovakia.

In the end, while Germany got the Sudetenland region as it wished, Poland also won the Special Youth Region as it wished.

It is said that the German head of state was very angry about the Poles' actions and scolded the Poles as a shameless thief who robbed meat from Germany.

"Lugen said that the incident in Teqing area angered their head of state. In that person's heart, the Poles' offense to him in this matter was no less than the shame brought by the Danze area." Cheng Qianfan sneered and said.

Lugen is a German businessman and has business dealings with Jiujiu Trading.

In addition, this person has the background of the German Consulate General in Shanghai, which is equivalent to a semi-public German diplomatic intelligence officer.

"Do you think Germany will declare war on Poland?" Cheng Qianfan searched on the map with a magnifying glass. Obviously, he could not find the German town on the German-Polish border in this incident. He could only roughly estimate its location and mark it with a pencil.

"It depends on the German publicity efforts on this matter," said Pitt.

Cheng Qianfan nodded and understood.

If Germany suppresses the matter and does not allow the newspaper to report on the matter in large quantities, it means that the Germans do not want to start a war

On the contrary, if this matter is spread widely, it means that the Germans are ready for war:

Germany has a great hatred of the Treaty of Versailles, or in other words, the Germans hate all oppression and aggression on the country. If this incident is known to everyone in Germany, it means that the German government has no intention to suppress the matter, because in this atmosphere, the Germans have no other way except to start a war!

Then Cheng Qianfan saw that Pete's expression was very serious, and he couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Is the German propaganda agency promoting this?"

Pit nodded, "Now the front pages of all German newspapers are photos of the bodies of Polish soldiers who were shot dead by the German army."

He was a little irritated, "What's more, the Poles gave a four-minute radio speech announcing that they had occupied the town and scolded the Germans."

Pete picked up the cigarette handed over by Qianfan and added, "It is said that the scolding is very unpleasant, and the Germans will definitely not be able to stand that kind."

"The Poles are crazy? Don't they know what this behavior means?" Cheng Qianfan couldn't believe it. He frowned, "Can they be the Germans directed and acted themselves, looking for excuses for war?"

"There are also a lot of discussions on this in China. Mr. Madier said that some people in the Ministry of Defense believe that this is the excuse of war directed and acted by the Germans, just like…..." Peter paused and made a metaphor, "It was like two years ago when the Japanese said that a soldier was lost."

Cheng Qianfan didn't like the metaphor that Pete made.

Neither Cheng Qianfan himself nor Miyazaki Kentaro would like this metaphor.

"So, some people think that this is not directed and acted by the Germans?" Cheng Qianfan showed a surprised expression, "Some people think that it was really the Poles who crossed the border and occupied the German town?"

"Why is it impossible?" Pete shrugged, and he snorted coldly. "My friend, you don't know the Poles, I won't be surprised how crazy they do."

He looked at Cheng Qianfan and said, "Don't forget the special-qing area."

Obviously, Pete had a bad impression of the Poles. He felt that the Poles had a deep obsession with expanding their territory and restoring their ancestors' glory, and they had reached the point of becoming obsessed with it.

"Whether it is directed and acted by the Germans or the crazy provocation of the Poles." Cheng Qianfan exhaled a smoke from his nose, and Dan Dan said, "In short, the German-Bols war is inevitable."

Pete took a deep breath of the cigarette, nodded with a serious expression, "Yes, war is inevitable."

Cheng Qianfan heard that the 'war' that Pete said was different from what he said, and frowned, "What do you mean is that if Germany declares war on Poland, France might declare war on Germany?"

"It's not possible, it's necessary to declare war on Germany." Pete said seriously, "and not only the powerful France, but also our ally British, will declare war on Germany."

He emphasized, "We have a covenant with Poland!"

Britain and France signed a defensive military alliance agreement with Poland and a treaty on security for Britain and France against Poland.

Under the treaty, Britain and France promised to provide military assistance when Poland was invaded by foreign aggression.

Therefore, once Germany really invades Poland, Britain and France believe that this is an act of aggression, and according to the treaty obligations, they must choose to declare war on Germany.

"Since Germany dares to start a war on its own initiative, it means they are ready for war." Cheng Qianfan shook his head, "I don't think we are ready for war."

Peter liked the 'we' that Cheng Qianfan said very much, thinking that this friend and business partner who was close to Japan subconsciously revealed his closeness to France.

"Don't worry, my friend." Pete's eyes flashed, "During the European War, we were able to beat the Germans to kneel down and beg for mercy, and this time it was the same."

He even picked up half a bottle of red wine on Cheng Qianfan's table in the lounge and poured two glasses of wine.

"Even, our stupid British allies are gathering in the English Channel, and the powerful French army has turned the German war of aggression into a war of defense of Berlin by their own efforts." Peter said confidently.

"This is the best." Cheng Qianfan was overjoyed. "The stronger France is, the better our lives are."

He raised his glass, "Cheers, my friend."

Cheng Qianfan clinked glasses with Pitt, "For the powerful France!"

"For the powerful France!" Peter was very happy.

"Maybe, there is no need for French soldiers to bleed, the Poles will destroy Germany in three months." Cheng Qianfan chuckled.

Peter was stunned at first, then laughed loudly. He bent over and the wine in the glass spilled out.

He understood where this joke from his friend came from.

When Germany asked to take back the Danze Corridor, Poland was very determined and disagreed.

Even the Poles warned Germany that if they dared to return to the Danze Corridor, Poland would be really angry. Angry Polish cavalry could destroy Germany in three months!

Pete, who had a stomachache with a smile, pointed at Cheng Qianfan and said, "This joke is so funny, I'm so laughing to death."

After calming down, Pete said seriously:

If there is a country on this planet that can destroy Germany for three months, then it can only be a powerful France

The war really broke out.

In the 28th year of the Republic of China, the Year of the Rabbit, September 1st, the 18th day of the seventh lunar month.

It is advisable to be buried, bury, remove insects, build nets, and penetrate into the soil.

Avoid getting married and entering a new house.

At around 11:00 a.m., Shanghai received a telegram from the distant Atlantic Ocean:

The Germans launched an attack on Poland an hour ago and at around 4 a.m. local time in Germany.

Germany declares war on Poland.

Cheng Qianfan stayed in the office of the Political Department’s investigation team with Pitt this day.

They had a intensive telegram exchange with Marseille France.

In the afternoon, information about the half-day situation of the German-Polish war arrived in Shanghai.

The Germans were indeed prepared for this war.

Mechanized troops such as German tanks and cars quickly crossed the German-Polish border with the support of the Luftwaffe and launched a "crazy" attack on Poland.

The Poles tried to resist, but soon the Poles could not hold on under the fierce German offensive.

According to the rumor that Mr. Madier received from the French Ministry of Defense's military logistics department, after the German attack, only

In just two hours, the Poles could not bear it anymore, and the Polish government sent a telegram to the UK for help.

Pete said, and he told Cheng Qianfan that the British would definitely ignore it.

"Why?" Cheng Qianfan asked in surprise, "Isn't there a covenant to protect Poland's security?"

"The British are cowards, and their soldiers dare not fight." Pete scoffed at his British friends, "When the French make the decision on the European continent, we don't speak first, the British dare not express their opinions."

He said to Cheng Qianfan with a slightly proud expression, "Look, the British will ignore the Poles. The Poles realize that they have done something wrong. They will come to ask the powerful France to fulfill the covenant."

Sure enough, when it was getting dark, I called from France and said that the Poles had sent calls to both Britain and France, asking Britain and France to send planes to bomb the air bases on the Western Front of Germany to restrain Germany's attack on Poland.

Everything was as expected by Peter.

However, this time Pete was no longer proud.

Because according to Mr. Madier's telegram, neither the British nor the French government responded to the Poles—

The Poles' urgent telegrams were like stones sinking into the sea without any response!

"Teacher, why did Britain and France not fulfill the alliance and declare war on the Germans immediately?" Cheng Qianfan asked Imamura Hitaro in confusion.
