Chapter 271 The Interests of Great Powers
Waiting for you, this is the sentence! Cyric had a smile on his face: "General Baker, you are short-sighted, we will see the answer soon."
soon!
Germany demands the occupation of the entire Sudetenland! When the news spread, many people were extremely nervous.
For example, on the same day, the French cabinet held a meeting to seek countermeasures.
In recent years, the French political scene is quite strange, that is, the prime minister changes very quickly, and it takes almost less than a year for one to take office. Of course, the feng shui turns and several people go back and forth.
For example, now the French Prime Minister is Camille Chaudan. He has served as Prime Minister of France three times. During his term, he continued to nationalize railway construction and create the French state railway company. (How do you feel that these capitalist countries were developing towards shzy?)
At the same time, he became a controversial figure for his role in the surrender of France to Nazi Germany in World War II. Described as "mental loss".
Now, the Sudeten region, like a volcanic heap, will erupt at any time, and France has an agreement with the Czech Republic!
How to do?
"To be fair, we squeezed Germany too hard," said Defense Minister Edward Lardadi.
French politics is very strange, for example, now, Camille is the prime minister, and Edward is the defense minister, and not long after, Edward became the prime minister, and Camille became Edward's subordinate and became the deputy prime minister.
In history, Edward is also an important representative of the appeasement.
At the beginning, the Germans were squeezed too hard, and now, it is time for this kind of problem to break out. Germany is stronger because of the Treaty of Versailles, and the Germans yearn for reunification!
"Yeah, we can't give up the current peace because of the Czech Republic." Camille is also extremely firm.
After World War I, Germany was incomparably weak, why did it become an invincible player in Europe once again in World War II?
The most important thing is that after the First World War, Britain and France no longer wanted to fight.
WWI broke out unjustly.
In fact, World War I was originally an issue for Serbia. Austria-Hungary wanted to find a way back, but Russia refused to let it go. Germany supported Austria-Hungary, and France supported Russia.
In the end, Russia first began to mobilize for war. Seeing that it was not good, Germany immediately began to mobilize. France followed suit!
As a result, because of the big deal, the whole of Europe is full of wars, and too many people have died!
A whole generation of young people died on the battlefield. Although Britain and France won the final victory, there was not much benefit. They all realized that this battle should not be fought. Everyone could sit down and talk about it. , as a result, they were killed if they disagreed.
Can't do that, they don't want to fight!
"Anyway, most of the people living there are Germanic people. Since Hitler wants it, then just give Hitler a part." Seeing that Camille was unwilling to fight, Edward, as Defense Minister, was of course quite supportive.
"However, how do we tell Czech?" Camille was a little troubled.
After all, the agreement was signed at the beginning, although it was not signed by himself, it was also from France. France wanted to cover the Czech Republic, and now Hitler wanted to move the Czech Republic, but France had to give it directly. That would be a shame, right?
"I think we can ask the British Prime Minister to go to Berlin and persuade Hitler not to use force. We can mediate. The Czech Republic will sell some land in exchange for peace in the whole of Europe. Hitler wants some land, so it's time to stop." Edward said.
You can invite the UK! After all, Britain and France are still good brothers.
The Spanish Civil War, the rampage of German armored divisions, left everyone with the impression that if the Germans wanted to push the Czech Republic, it was really too easy.
So, let's just ask the British Prime Minister to come forward and make peace!
Soon, the expedited telegram was sent to London, England. After receiving the telegram, British Prime Minister Chamberlain immediately agreed.
The bloody facts of World War I told them that, as a big country, it is putting the cart before the horse to fight for the strategic interests of a small country. The existence of small countries is for the interests of big countries, not to treat big countries as a bus of strategic impulse, and everyone will drive to hell together.
After the First World War, the Czech Republic had indeed persecuted the Germans in the Sudetenland too severely, and the decision should be made in accordance with the principle of national autonomy.
Of course, first of all, it is to convince Hitler not to use force immediately, everyone sit down and discuss!
So, a day later, Zhang Bolin took a plane and went to Germany in person.
This kind of thing has to be done in person!
Arthur Neville Chamberlain, the British Prime Minister who just passed the election this year, has the same views as the French.
Great Britain, can't just get caught up in a new war, it's horrible!
And France can't come forward directly, so he does his part.
Since Hitler has an appetite, it's good to satisfy him. As long as you feed Hitler, let him not be impulsive and start a world war in Europe again, that's enough!
"Mr. Prime Minister, welcome you to Berlin." At the airport, some senior German officials greeted him here, and the leading officer looked very familiar.
"I'm Cyric." Seeing that the other party didn't know him, Cyric couldn't help but introduce himself.
This time, Chamberlain also felt embarrassed. As a politician, he must know people from various countries, and now, on the European continent, he has always been famous, and Hitler is Cyric!
It is said that the entire Condor Legion is under the command of Cyric. This person not only can play politics, but also play military affairs. Such a person is terrible.
"It is an honour to speak with you, one of the most insightful and visionary politicians in the UK," said Cyric.
Of course, Cyric welcomed Chamberlain very much. This guy's policy of appeasement can make Germany stronger day by day, and eventually develop into a force that makes Britain and France fear.
If there was no Chamberlain, then maybe World War II would not have broken out. If it was Churchill directly, then Germany would not have developed at all.
Of course he welcomes such a person, who has foresight and insight!
Peace is really the mainstream, and now in Britain, a guy like Churchill who advocates war talk all day is despised by almost everyone.
"I'm here for the peace of our Europe." Chamberlain shook hands with Cyric, then said, "God bless this land and there will be no more wars."
Chamberlain is sincere, and Cyric is also sincere: "We do not wish to resort to war, but we Germans cannot continue to suffer humiliation in the Sudetenland, that is our countrymen."
