Chapter 793 Hot Face Shines on Cold Ass
At the end of March, the Polish representative went to Berlin to meet with the little man. At the meeting, the little man brought up the old story again and strongly demanded that Poland accept Germany's conditions, join the German system, and return the Danzig corridor.
The Polish representative naturally refused. It was under this condition that Chamberlain, aware of the changes in the relationship between Germany and Poland, would take the initiative to extend an olive branch to Poland.
"I will now report to Parliament that in the event of any action which clearly threatens the independence of Poland and the Polish government therefore considers it necessary to mobilize national resistance,
The British Government, then, would immediately feel obliged to give its full support immediately to the Polish Government, which has given Poland assurances to the same effect,
I wish to state that the French government has authorized me to express clearly that it will take the same position as the British government on this issue. "
The French were very helpless. At this time, they had already boarded the pirate ship, and they were powerless. The anti-war sentiment in the country could not be described as serious, and there were already signs of riots.
Gaul chickens who lost Eastern Europe and disintegrated their own alliance system, if they don't follow the pace of Big Brother Niu Niu at this time.
Once the real battle starts, they will be on their own...wait for death!
However, the situation is not what it used to be.
Today, the United Kingdom has lost its air force, and it is not even evenly matched.
Germany occupied the Rhine region by force, the Siegfried Line of Defense had been built or accelerated, and the Berlin-Rome axis was established.
Austria was annexed and assimilated by Germany, and the abandonment of the Munich agreement destroyed the Czech Republic.
Germany not only strengthened its economic, military, and firepower advantages, but also occupied the Czech fortifications.
The largest munitions factory in the world, Skoda Arsenal will manufacture weapons, artillery, aircraft, tanks and countless ammunition for the Germans from now on.
In North America, when he noticed that the situation was intensifying and changing, Roosevelt wanted to intervene through the United States to stabilize or clarify the situation in Europe.
He was also single-handedly set aside, how could the proud Niu Niu allow this to happen.
The Soviet Union has repeatedly advocated that the Western countries do their best to rescue the Czech Republic, but no one paid attention to it. So far, the Soviet Union no longer trusts the Western countries.
When Britain could provide only two divisions to bolster the French border defenses, France threw away 35 Czech divisions that could have dealt with the less than fully equipped German army.
These are the "great, noble and peaceful" results of the appeasement policy advocated by Prime Minister Owl Face.
Winston commented on the matter in a sharp tone, "In the past, as long as someone proposed to stop the aggression and expansion of the dwarf, it would be considered unreasonable, rash and reckless, and did not conform to modern thought and moral standards.
Now, having lost all advantage, the two Western democracies have declared their readiness to sacrifice their lives for the territorial integrity of Poland.
It is said that most of history is the memory of human sin, stupidity and pain. "
Winston further cited that in Eastern Europe, any forces and means capable of organizing resistance to German aggression are almost all gone now.
Hungary has completely fallen into the arms of Germany. Poland took advantage of the Czech Republic at first, but now it is unwilling to cooperate closely with Romania.
Neither Romania nor Poland allowed Soviet troops to cross their territories to fight back against the German invaders.
Unless the Soviet Union has hundreds of thousands of large transport aircraft, magic soldiers descend from the sky.
Otherwise, it would be an impossible task to fulfill the agreement.
After realizing the change in attitude of the British authorities and the increasingly serious situation, the Soviet authorities, deeply affected by the situation, put aside their previous contradictions and once again proposed to hold a meeting of six countries to negotiate and jointly resist aggression.
However, due to Chamberlain's stubbornness, distrust of Western countries, and disagreement and collision of governance concepts, the Soviet Union's proposal for the Six-Power Conference was dismissed indifferently by Western countries.
On April 7, an incident completely despaired the Chamberlain government, which had had confidence in luring Italy off the axis.
At dawn on this day, the Italian army brazenly landed in Albania in the Mediterranean Sea.
The country was declared occupied after a short battle.
Chamberlain never imagined that what Mussolini declared to Italy in his speech a month ago, Italy's territorial claim to the Mediterranean would be achieved in this way.
Just as the Czech Republic became the base for Germany to attack Poland, Albania also became a springboard for the Italian army to attack Greece and force Yugoslavia to neutralize.
At this point, Chamberlain finally realized that the Germans were really going to war.
As a result, he began to provide guarantees and sign covenants to countries in all directions, as long as they did not explicitly refuse, regardless of whether Britain could provide effective assistance.
In Winston's view, Chamberlain at this moment is like a drowning man grabbing the last straw, struggling on the silent ship he built called peace but full of holes.
Prime Minister Owl, who didn't want to "drown", was on the move, and the dwarf was not idle either.
The little man hated his ongoing alliance, and at this time Germany already had the confidence to challenge any organization.
On April 28, 1939, the little man made a speech in Parliament: "Today, since the British newspapers and officials all advocate that they will oppose Germany's policy under any circumstances. In this case, the basis of the Anglo-German naval treaty is no longer re-exist,
At some point, the Anglo-Polish alliance would allow Poland to take military action against Germany if Germany were to conflict with any other country and England would be drawn into the war, so the German-Polish non-aggression pact ceased to exist. "
The abolition of two important 'peace' treaties is extremely serious and threatening.
The Anglo-German naval treaty was negotiated and signed in accordance with the wishes of the little man.
The German-Polish non-aggression treaty, like the British naval treaty, is beneficial to Germany and effectively improves its position when it is still weak.
The Anglo-German Naval Treaty, in fact, amounted to Britain's connivance with Germany in breaking the military clauses of the Versailles Peace Treaty, and also invalidated the Stresa Front's resolution.
The so-called Stresa Front Resolution was a meeting held in Stresa in April 1935 by Britain, France and Italy to discuss Germany's breach of the Treaty of Versailles.
It was decided that the three countries should negotiate on the security issues of Eastern Europe, recognize the maintenance of Austria's independence and completeness, and expressed regret for Germany's unilateral violation of the provisions of the "Versailles Peace Treaty" and rearmament.
The three countries agreed to use all feasible means to oppose the unilateral abolition of the peace treaty that would endanger the peace of Europe, and will cooperate closely for this purpose.
If Britain and France resolutely responded to the little man's first temptation, World War II might not have occurred at all.
Without the connivance of England, the disregard and cowardice of France, the greed and ambition of the little man would not have been fueled to where he is now.
If the ruling head of Italy is not an ambitious dictator.
It's a pity that what the world lacks most is "what ifs." If there are so many ifs that can be repeated, history will not have countless regrets.
