Chapter 273 Intimidate Not to Draft

For the Czech government, this is a period of great anger!

A covenant with France has been concluded, what is the result? France actually asked them to use the principle of national self-determination to solve the problem of the Sudetenland!

The majority of the population there are Germans, and if they were given national self-determination and voted openly, of course they would choose to join Germany!

Austria has been incorporated into Germany, and after the incorporation, Austria has changed a lot!

The highways in Austria are as wide as those in Germany. The provision of a large number of jobs has quickly allowed Austrians to find jobs, have a full stomach, and are full of confidence in the future.

And the Germans in the Sudetenland will definitely choose to join Germany!

And no president will watch his country fall apart!

Faced with this situation, Czech President Eduard Benes, of course, would not agree, the country of the Czech Republic has soaked his heart and soul! Along with Thomas Masaryk and Milan Stefanik, he is known as the Founding Three of Czechoslovakia.

During the First World War, Benes organized, along with others, the Czech nationalist independence movement.

From 1915 he fought alongside Thomas Masaryk and Slovakian Milan Stefanik to form the Czechoslovak Legion.

In 1918 France recognized the Czechoslovak National Assembly as the sole representative of the planned Czechoslovak Republic and had a say in the negotiations of the Treaty of Versailles.

At that time, U.S. President Woodrow Wilson once suggested that the Sudeten region should undergo national self-determination, but Benes vehemently rejected it. Eventually, the Sudetenland became part of the Czech Republic.

Of course, there were also some attempts within the Sudetenland to merge with Germany or Austria, which were suppressed by them. After the disintegration of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Czechoslovak troops settled in the German-speaking regions of the eastern Czech Republic, dissolving the local independence movement.

Benes is the true founding father who has always held real power in the government and has been president since 35 years!

How could such a person succumb to the obscenity of Germany!

Come on, the Czech Republic will never be afraid!

In the presidential palace in Prague, Benes was very angry. He did not expect that the French and the British would betray them!

"President, if we want Britain and France to support us, we must make a compromise." The foreign minister said to Benes: "In the past, we were able to get the Sudetenland, which was with the help of Britain and France, but now, without the help of Britain and France, It is very difficult for us to preserve all the territory."

At the beginning, right after the end of the First World War, Britain and France wished that Germany would obediently become a docile sheep. In order to weaken the defeated Germany, they would do anything to weaken the defeated Germany, and even the United States could not stand it.

So, it was natural that the Sudetenland was left to the Czech Republic, but now, the situation is different.

"At most, we can cede part of the Sudetenland, um, up to 5,000 square kilometers, to Germany and then deport all the German-speaking people who remain in Czechoslovakia," Benes said.

Five thousand square kilometers, accounting for only 18% of the total area of ​​the Sudetenland. If you hand it over to Germany, forget it, and then drive away the remaining Germans!

In his attitude towards these people, Benes has never changed, that is, drive them away! Historically, this wish of Benes was finally realized after the end of World War II.

"Okay, I'll tell the French side," said the foreign minister.

Hitler's appetite is really not small, and it is absolutely impossible to cede the entire Sudeten region to them!

The country's territory must not be lost in one's own hands. At the same time, what is even more serious is that most of the territory of the Czech Republic is plain, and only the Sudeten region is a mountainous area. Over the years, in order to prevent the resurgence of the Germans, the Czech Republic has They are also building fortifications to defend against Germany, and these fortifications are all in the mountains of the Sudeten region!

If all the Sudetenland was given to Germany, then the Czech Republic would have no danger to defend. Those modern armored units would rush up at any time. Although the Czech Republic had forty divisions, they could not stop it at all!

Coming from that terrible war, Benes didn't want to fight, but at the same time, he was definitely not afraid of fighting!

Benes' reply has reached France, and he is staying in France, discussing with the French Prime Minister and Minister of Defense about the Czech Republic. Now, the Czech Republic is willing to cede part of the territory of the Sudetenland, which is a big step backward. .

As a result, Chamberlain came to Berlin again. As an intermediary, he just wanted to find a solution that was acceptable to each other.

It's a pity that he was wrong, Deutschland will never compromise!

"Those Germanic people have lived there for generations, and the Sudetenland belongs to the Czech Republic. It's only in the last twenty years, and even the then President of the United States is not satisfied." Hitler's words were very firm: "Now , let us get only a small piece of territory in the Sudetenland, and then, watching our millions of Germanic compatriots who watch us, leave their homes?"

"Our request cannot be discounted." Cyric also said: "The Czech government must deal with the issue of the Sudeten region in accordance with the principle of national self-determination. If it cannot satisfy us, then we can only use force. Come and help our fellow Germans, we can't wait any longer."

"Not only the Sudeten region, but also other regions in the Czech Republic. Those regions where we Germans live must be handled in accordance with the principle of national self-determination!" Cyric followed, thinking about this request, It was also brought up.

Hearing this, Chamberlain's heart skipped a beat.

Nima, put your nose on your face! Originally, I was talking about the Sudetenland, but now, the Germans are even more shameless! In the Czech Republic, in addition to the Sudetenland, there are some areas, also the majority of Germans.

This new proposal once again made Chamberlain's head big.

Cyric looked at Chamberlain's expression and felt extremely refreshed.

Appeasement, appeasement! To keep the peace, feed Germany's appetite! And now, with Chamberlain's mediation, Germany's demands will increase!

Not just the Sudeten region, but other regions too!

These belligerent guys! At this time, Chamberlain was a little speechless, but, thinking about it, the Sudetenland belongs to the Czech Republic, which is a matter of recent decades, and the Czechs have always been quite unfriendly to the Germans, trying to drive them away.

This time, why doesn't the Czech Republic want to do this? Give Germany a small amount of land and drive away all the Germans?

And now, the Czechs gave only part of it, angering the Germans, and they demanded more!

With such a big difference of opinion, it seems that neither side will compromise!

Cyric's words stunned the other German executives who were present, and threatened not to write drafts?

And Hitler was the first to understand what Cyric meant. This is still testing the bottom line of the British. Their bottom line is that for the peace of Europe, they will continue to appease! No matter how many demands they have, they will agree.

The British, the French, don't want Europe to be at war again!

In that case, then put some pressure on the British!

"Please tell the Czech side that our requirements will not change. The end of this year, December 31, is the deadline." Hitler said: "We hope that the problem will be completely resolved in 2037. If it is delayed to 2038, Then we can only use the force in our hands to save our compatriots."

Hitler's attitude is very firm, don't try to delay, give you a deadline!

Now, on December 20, 1937, 9 months earlier than in history, Hitler is about to achieve the occupation of the Sudetenland! In addition to the Sudetenland, there are Germanic people in other areas, and they must also give an explanation!

The unfair treatment of the Germans, now, it is up to Germany to support them!
