Chapter 792 Confrontation

Chamberlain, pursuing a policy of appeasement, won what he called a "peace generation," which became a laughingstock after the little man conquered the Czech Republic by force.

According to his plan, appeasement can ease international tensions and prompt the little man to turn against the Soviet Union and the Communist Party, bringing disaster to the east.

As a result, things backfired. His appeasement and concession stimulated the aggressive appetite of the NC leader and seriously weakened the strategic position of the British and French groups.

On the eve of the incident, Soviet Foreign Minister Litvinov said many times that if France abided by its treaty obligations and provided direct and effective assistance to the Czech Republic, then "the Soviet Union will, together with France, fulfill its obligations in accordance with the treaty." '

"It will assist the Czech Republic in any way the Soviet Union can. The Soviet Ministry of Defense is ready to attend a meeting of representatives of the French and Czech Ministry of Defense immediately to discuss measures. '

But it was such a big country's furious public statement without any other conditions, which was brutally rejected by Chamberlain, who pursued a policy of appeasement.

At that time, Winston made this statement in the political section of The Times: "Things are developing as if the Soviet Union did not exist in the world.

If we continue to develop, we will eventually pay a huge price for this. "

At that time, this speech was criticized by all walks of life in the British party and government, but it also allowed Winston to gain the attention and favor of the Soviets.

After the Czech Republic was completely partitioned and incorporated into Germany's "protection", Winston, who was then a backbench member of the House of Commons, gave a lengthy and thorough speech.

"It's all over, silent, sad, abandoned, broken Jack, has fallen into darkness.

For a long time, it followed the leadership and policies of France, and stood firmly with France and the United Kingdom. As a result, it suffered a big loss.

We need not waste time studying the differences between the agreements reached at Porchtesgaden, at the Godesberg site, in Munich.

If this Court will allow me to vary a metaphor, I shall do so succinctly.

He starts by pointing a pistol at you and wants you to give him a pound.

After the full amount is delivered, he points the gun at you again and asks for an increase of two pounds.

In the end, the dictator promises to take £1.17s. 6p up front, and you promise to pay the rest later. "

Winston's speech in the House of Commons caused him to be violently protested by the appeasement forces, and he had to immerse himself for a period of time before continuing to speak.

"Now the balance of Europe is upset, we have suffered a complete and utter defeat ... the gates of the Danube ... the gates of the Black Sea are open.

Don't think that this matter will end here, this is just the first step in reckoning.

This is just the first bite, the first taste of the bitter water that will be handed to us every year.

Unless we pick up our spirits and regain our fighting spirit, we will not be able to rise up again and fight for freedom as we have always done. "

People who don't understand the situation may be confused. This is about the French alliance system.

After the Munich conspiracy, France stupidly dismantled its own alliance system.

After Munich, France lost not only a Czech Republic, but also its military status in Europe.

Prior to this, France had more than 100 regular divisions and established alliances with small countries such as the Czech Republic, Poland, Yugoslavia and Romania in Eastern Europe.

The combined military strength of these countries was enough to subdue the little man, but this all changed after Munich.

As France's most loyal ally, the Czech Republic was brutally mutilated.

The 35 well-trained and well-equipped Czech divisions originally deployed in solid mountain fortifications contained a German army that was larger than itself. Now France has lost this strong support.

This is tantamount to cutting off an arm.

However, this is not the most deadly.

After Munich, who of France's remaining allies in Eastern Europe would believe in its oath, exemplified by the mutiny in Poland.

Alliance with France, friendship with England,

What's the point?

Waiting for them to sell their own country's interests lightly, split up the country, and disintegrate the regime like dismembering the Czech Republic at a critical moment?

Because of this, the countries in Eastern Europe completely changed their minds, and the Soviet Union was completely disappointed with the Anglo-French alliance.

Recently, Winston once again pointed out that the acquisition of the Czech Republic is worrying. Germany has regained its glory and has become stronger under dangerous thinking, which is very dangerous.

After the Czech Republic was dismembered, the little man looted 9.5 billion marks, more than 1 million rifles, more than 500 anti-aircraft guns, and more than 3 million shells from the Czech Republic.

The rest also includes 43,000 machine guns, more than 1,500 aircraft, more than 2,100 cannons, 1 billion rounds of ammunition and more than 400 tanks.

The German army also occupied Skoda, the largest munitions factory in the world, and took a large number of young Czech men and women into service as soldiers and hard labor.

As the No. 2 figure in NC, Goering said in a recent call to Mussolini: "The hesitation to transfer the huge production capacity of the Czech Republic to Germany is an economic factor, which significantly strengthens the ability of the Axis countries to deal with Western countries."

"In the event of a greater conflict between the two sides, Germany would now not need to keep a division of troops to defend that country."

After the little man announced the annexation of the Czech Republic to the territory of Germany, Chamberlain had to say to the House of Commons: "The German army invaded Bohemia at 6 o'clock this morning, and the Czech people were ordered by the government not to resist."

Therefore, his guarantee to the Czech Republic is no longer valid, that is to say, the British government's guarantee that "in the event of an unprovoked act of aggression, the British government will take action within its capabilities" is completely invalid.

Compared with his "hard work" in the previous year, these words will only make people feel ridiculous.

Mr. Prime Minister with an owl face, as a qualified politician, naturally his face does not blush and his heart does not beat.

At the end of his speech, he said: "I should deeply regret what has happened now, but we must not be derailed by it.

We should ourselves, the will of the peoples of the world, remain centered on the hope of peace. "

Winston was extremely disgusted with the Prime Minister's shameless speech, and retorted in public: "The Prime Minister's reaction surprised me. He always thought that he had a special understanding of the character of a dictator and could accurately estimate the limits of Germany's actions."

"He hoped that Munich would be a meeting of honesty and honesty, and that he and the two dictators would save the world from the horrors of war."

"Now it seems that there is a sudden explosion that shatters his beliefs and everything caused by his actions and speeches. He made a serious misjudgment of the facts. He is not only deceiving himself, but also imposing it on his followers colleagues and unfortunate British public opinion, it is certainly his duty to do so."

In the face of the harsh facts, under the attack of Winston and others, Chamberlain had to criticize the little man uncharacteristically.

At the same time, in order to confuse people and wash his reputation, Chamberlain also made a guarantee to the Poland that the little man coveted.

During this period, Poland had already begun to worry about its previous colluding partners.
