Chapter 287 English and French Are Unreliable (Plus More)
Chamberlain broke his leg these days.
If there was no step-by-step connivance at the beginning, it would not have become what it is today. Until Germany annexed the Czech Republic, Chamberlain had already repented. Britain wanted to make Germany stronger to check and balance France, so as to prevent France from dominating the European continent. As a result, let go What came out was a demon, a demon capable of bringing the whole of Europe back to war.
He must make a difference, he must stop the current situation, and the most suitable solution is to find a new country to check and balance Germany!
This country, only Poland! However, it is not enough to rely on the Polish family alone. The Soviet Union, which fought against Germany in the Spanish Civil War, is a good helper.
However, what made Chamberlain uncomfortable was that the Polish government did not welcome the Soviets.
Now, the president of Poland is Ignazy Mosicicki, who is actually a puppet-like character.
More than a decade ago, in 1926, Josef Piłsudski staged the May coup. After the successful coup, however, Piłsudski declined the presidency, and he recommended Mosicicki, his former colleague in the Polish Socialist Party, to take the post.
In this way, although Moschicki, as president, also respected Piłsudski, the de facto ruler of the country was Piłsudski until his death a few years ago.
At this time, power in Poland was divided into three groups, one supporting Mosicicki as Piłsudski's successor, one supporting Eduard Rez-Smigovi, and the other supporting Prime Minister Valerie Swawek.
In order to clear Slawek from this power struggle, Mosicicki signed a power-sharing agreement with Rez-Shmigwi to marginalize Slawek. As a result, Mosicicki still did not get the main power, and Rez-Simigwi would become Poland's de facto leader.
Moschicki remains an honorary president.
After all, he is the president and has influence. Therefore, Chamberlain's talks now come to the Polish government headed by him.
"No, we will never let Soviet troops set foot on our territory," Mochitsky said.
Chamberlain's mouth was dry, and he just spat out the stars and said the agreement reached with the Soviet Union, but now Poland does not agree!
After going to the Soviet Union, Chamberlain met with Stalin. Stalin was very happy and promised that if Germany attacked Britain or France, the Soviet Union could dispatch more than 2 million troops to attack Germany.
Because there was no border between Germany and the Soviet Union, and there was a Poland between the two countries, the Soviet Union suggested that Britain and France do work for Poland.
How does this work? Over the years, the grievances and grievances between the Soviet Union and Poland are hard to describe.
Moszicki would not allow the Soviets to enter the borders of Poland! Although Poland, Germany, and the Soviet Union have signed friendly agreements in the past, agreements are always used to tear up, and agreements cannot be trusted!
"We, Poland, have never lost. Even if the Germans come to attack us, we can drive the Germans away. We don't need the help of the Soviet Union."
Chamberlain looked at Moschicki, and his heart gradually became angry. These days, he tried his best to promote peace talks. Although it was selfish, he hoped to rely on Poland to block Germany. harmless.
After all, if Germany takes action, Poland will definitely end in demise!
Now, the Poles are too arrogant to follow Chamberlain's advice and cooperate with their old enemies.
Chamberlain's efforts were in vain, and at the same time, he also held back his anger. Since the Poles are so confident, then when the Germans call, let's see how you ask for help!
Chamberlain's plan to unite Poland with the Soviet Union to deal with Germany was considered bankrupt, and at this time, in the distant Moscow, a discussion also began.
"England and France are unreliable." In the Kremlin, a bearded marshal said to the crowd.
There were not many marshals of the Soviet Union. In 35 years, only five people were awarded. After that, a few were killed in the Great Purge. Now, this Soviet Union with the iconic two-way beard The marshal was Budyonny, a veteran of the cavalry who had been in service all his life. He was also one of Stalin's most trusted people.
"Yes, you can see the end of the Czech Republic. When it is critical, Britain and France will abandon his allies without hesitation." Stalin said: "So, Chamberlain's promises to us are not credible."
When Chamberlain arrived, Stalin received him warmly and made a promise that the Soviet Union could send two million troops to fight Germany, but when Chamberlain left, Stalin changed his attitude.
Believe in English and French? It is better to believe that sows can climb trees!
"Moreover, Poland will never allow us to enter their territory. Like us, they are wary." Budyonny continued.
"So, I think, instead of helping Poland resist the German invasion, it's better for us to divide Poland with Germany." Stalin smoked a big cigarette and said to the people around him.
In an instant, everyone was stunned. Carve up Poland?
This idea sounds great!
In the Spanish Civil War, the Soviet Union fought the Germans, but what? There is no unresolved hatred between countries, only naked interests!
Now, the Great Purge has not yet come to an end. Stalin's words are authority. Budyonny was the first to react: "Yes, we should go to Germany and sign a non-aggression agreement. In the agreement, we reached a secret agreement to discuss our The joint partition of Poland."
Who is the right person to send?
If Tukhachevsky hadn't been purged, it would have been most appropriate to send him, since he had the closest relationship with Germany, but for now, it's only the order.
Budyonny is too old to command the army, but not good enough for diplomacy.
"Molotov, you go to Germany." Stalin told Vyacheslav Mikhailovich Molotov, the People's Commissar of Foreign Affairs, who was a capable general in command of the purge, and also One of Stalin's most trusted henchmen.
"Yes." Molotov accepted the task immediately.
Negotiated with Germany and jointly divided Poland, the Germans will definitely agree!
"Also, I can urge the Germans. Regarding our aircraft carrier construction agreement, are the Germans not going to implement it? We have exported so many ore, but it can't be in vain. If the Germans don't plan to build us, let them Give us cash." Stalin suddenly remembered something.
For this matter, the Soviet Union felt cheated. The Germans obtained a large amount of ore and did not build ships for themselves. At the beginning of the Spanish Civil War, the relationship between the two countries was affected. The transportation of ore has stopped, and the aircraft carrier also No more play.
This time, the Soviet Union took the initiative to show goodwill, hoping that the Germans would give face!
