Chapter 280 Appeasement becomes tough
At the beginning, France and the Czech Republic had an alliance, but Britain did not. They asked Britain to mediate. In order to keep Europe peaceful, Britain gave up the interests of the Czech Republic.
However, the United Kingdom only gave the Sudeten area of the Czech Republic to Germany, and other places could implement autonomy. But now, the Germans are too greedy and have actually annexed the entire Czech Republic!
This behavior annoyed Chamberlain.
The metaphor of Cialek in the previous article is very appropriate. After all, Britain and France are victorious countries. They are high and like masters. In their eyes, the Sudeten area of the Czech Republic is just a bone that was thrown to the hungry dog of Germany to satisfy their appetite. That's fine.
But who would have thought that this hungry dog not only ate bones, but also ate the meat in the refrigerator!
What I didn't give, Hitler couldn't take it!
This incident stimulated Britain and France even more.
When Chamberlain came to Paris, French Prime Minister Camille was also extremely angry.
Hitler, too greedy!
"It's also our fault, we have always compromised with Germany. Now, I reflect on my previous actions, and I feel that I have done something wrong." Chamberlain said to Camille.
Everyone has their own little ones. After the First World War, Germany was defeated and France rose. For the sake of its own calculations, Britain had no intention of completely weakening Germany. A weak Germany and an invincible France on the mainland were not good for Britain.
Therefore, the appeasement of Britain is also to cause some trouble for France and not let France dominate the world.
But now it seems that Britain is wrong. Germany's rise will become a nightmare in the Western world! Hitler's request is simply a bottomless line!
"If the Czech government asks us for help, we can send troops and teach Germany a lesson." Kamiye was also extremely depressed.
Germany annexed the Czech Republic, but Britain and France could not find a reason to start a war, because the Czech Republic voluntarily surrendered and had no war of annexation at all. In this case, what reason does Britain and France have to teach a lesson?
Moreover, Britain, France and the Czech Republic are not adjacent to each other. If you want to support the Czech Republic, you need to find a country from the surrounding areas of the Czech Republic to cooperate with them in the fight. But now, the countries and regions surrounding the Czech Republic: Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, and other countries and regions that surround the remaining territories of "Bohemia and Moravia" are all enemies of the Czech Republic.
"Now, we must be tough." Chamberlain continued: "We should find a country in Eastern Europe to restrain Germany. If Germany expands further, we must teach Germany a lesson so that the Germans can know that Europe belongs to us in Britain and France!"
Chamberlain was already angry, he regretted his past appeasement, and now, he must do something!
Chamberlain hoped to use empty wars against Germany to deter Hitler, which required an Eastern European country that was very tough on Germany. Fortunately, this country is easy to find.
After hearing Chamberlain's words, Kamiye had an answer in his heart: "It seems that we must support Poland and fully support Poland."
History is always surprisingly similar. The Czech Republic sold by Britain and France as much as possible. But now, the idea of Britain and France at this moment is to use Poland to restrain Germany!
Although the Czech Republic is a major arms power and its military strength is also good, it is far behind Poland. First of all, in terms of population, Poland has a unique advantage.
The Czech Republic has a full range of plans, and the population is only 10 million, and a considerable number of them are Germans. Therefore, the Czechs themselves have no determination to fight against Germany.
What about Poland? The population is nearly 40 million, which is similar to the local population of France. It was also relatively powerful in military terms at that time. Of course, this power was on paper.
However, at least in history, the Poles were still very good at fighting. For example, during the Vistula War in the Polish-Soviet War, they captured 60,000 Soviet Red Army, which also led to the saying that Poland saved the entire Western civilization in 1920.
So, now, Britain and France must support Poland! Use Poland to restrain Germany, which is rising and is about to become a new threat to the entire Europe!
This matter is urgent!
"However, if Germany invades Poland, we may not have enough time to mobilize the army immediately." Chamberlain continued to express his concern: "We should find a country that borders Poland and provide military support to Poland immediately when needed."
Is the Polish army still as powerful as World War I? This must be a question mark. Poland is a self-proclaimed country. Their powerful army is based on cavalry. In recent years, the German armored forces have caused great panic between Britain and France.
Find a country that can provide military support for Poland? It's really hard to find. The only one who can compete with Germany is probably the Soviet Union? But, can Poland and the Soviet Union reach an allied agreement?
"It seems that I want to go to Poland and the Soviet Union in person," Chamberlain said.
Chamberlain really did his best in maintaining European peace.

Prague.
On this day, there were cheers everywhere. Just like when he advanced into the Rhineland and occupied Austria, Hitler came to Prague. As the head of Germany, he also had many fans in the Czech Republic.
There are also many Germans in the Czech Republic. They were bullied by the Czechs before, but now, they can finally be honest!
So, what about the original Czech people on the local area? What kind of psychology should they have?
It depends on how Germany treats them!
In the past, we did not encounter this problem because in the past, whether it was Rhineland or Austria, they were all Germans, but now, there are other races.
Many people's eyes are focused on Hitler, an orator with outstanding incitement ability, now is also in high interest.
Today, Hitler is going to deliver a famous speech, which is also Germany's future argument about race, and this speech is different from Hitler's original meaning.
For Hitler, who insisted on racial supremacy and was inferior to Germany, it would take a lot of effort to turn his point of view. Fortunately, in the end, Cialek convinced Hitler that only by uniting all those who could unite can he win this war that will be about to begin!
"First of all, I want to say sorry, sorry, I'm late. In the Sudeten area, you have suffered for twenty years of suffering!" Hitler's opening remarks were different, and at this moment, many Germans were filled with tears.
"At the same time, I also want to say that the cause of this suffering is not the ordinary Czechs, but those who wear politicians, but are actually made by selfish nationalists! The rulers led by Benes have narrow eyes and their minds are full of the Czech Republic. This is an extremely wrong thing!"
