Chapter 860 Crazy Roman

"Everyone, don't forget that on the other side of the earth, there is another powerful country that is paying attention to this war. When the war faction represented by Roman Barras and the peace faction were quarreling, The sudden words caused both parties to fall into a long silence.

yes! They only focused on Europe, but they forgot that there was also a very powerful country on the other side of the earth that had the same roots as Europe.

"Then what can we do? Force Australasia to join the war? Are you sure this won't push Australasia to the German side?" the peacemaker asked somewhat unhappily.

"This is a good proposal." Roman Barras's eyes lit up, and he looked at the congressman with approval. His whole body became energetic, and he said with a smile: "I almost forgot that on the other side of the distant earth , we also have a potential ally.”

"Damn it, you crazy guy!" The congressman's face changed, and he seemed to say in disbelief: "You don't want to drag Australasia into trouble, do you?"

"Why not?" Romain Barras smiled like a spring breeze, but what he said made everyone here couldn't help but swallow their saliva: "If France ends up in destruction, then our responsibility is to pull everything together. The country is in trouble.

Either Australasia helps us win the war, or we surrender to Germany and help the island nation win Australasia.

I believe that Australasians will be willing to help us. After all, the island country is an ally of Germany, and the enemy of our enemy is our friend. They should understand this truth. "

"This guy is absolutely crazy!" This was the thought of most peacekeepers in France.

It’s okay to drag the British into the water. Britain and France are separated by the English Channel. Britain is also a European country and also faces the threat of Germany.

But Australasia is different. As a country that monopolizes Oceania, Australasia is far from Europe.

Viewed from the west, Australasia is separated from Europe by the Mediterranean Sea, the Middle East and the Indian Ocean. Viewed from the east, Australasia and Europe are separated by the Pacific Ocean, the Americas and the Atlantic Ocean.

Apart from the potential factor that Australasia's enemy is an island country and its ally is Germany, there seems to be no reason for Australasians to participate in this war in Europe.

Australasia, as a superpower that guarantees three and competes for two, can play a decisive role in a European war. But all this is predicated on Australasia's willingness to join the war.

If Australasia is unwilling to join the war, is it really necessary to surrender to Germany and then vigorously support the island country, as Roman Barras said?

"Minister Romain, please tell me in detail your plan." While everyone was still shocked by Romain Barras's crazy idea, French President Albert suddenly asked.

Everyone immediately turned their surprised eyes to President Albert. Since President Albert took office, he has always considered himself a moderate and extremely leaning towards the peace faction.

The current proactive questions about Romain Barras made the peacekeepers officials turn their attention to President Albert, with questions and confusion in their eyes, and a hint of betrayal anger.

"It's very simple." Deputy Defense Minister Roman didn't care about the little thoughts of government officials. He stepped forward with a smile and stood in the center of the conference room, his eyes revealing determination and madness: "Although it is not the same as the war 20 years ago, I think the nature of these two wars is the same. That is a world war that spans the globe.

Yes, please allow me to call the war 20 years ago World War I, and the war that broke out between the German and Austrian empires World War II.

Unfortunately, both world wars took place in Europe, and France was destined to be one of the protagonists.

Since we cannot avoid a world war, the first thing we must do is avoid a repeat of the mistakes of World War I.

What we have to do is make World War II a truly global war. No major power can avoid this war, and we will never allow any situation where the snipe and the clam quarrel and the fishermen benefit.

I currently have two suggestions on how to lure Australasians into the water.

First, Britain is an ally of Australasia, and it is essential for the British to win Australasia into the war.

Secondly, the relationship between Finland and Australasia is also very close. We can start from Finland to cause conflicts between Finland and Germany, forcing Australasia to support Finland.

In contrast, I would recommend the entry of the British into the war to prompt Australasia to respond. "

In fact, after all is said and done, the British participation in the war is the most important thing at the moment.

If the British did not participate in the war, could Australasia on the other side of the world be expected to intervene in the European war?

Only when the British join the war can they win over a series of countries that maintain good relations with Britain to join the war and strengthen the power of the Franco-Austrian Alliance.

President Albert nodded. Although his expression did not change at all, he had more thoughts in his heart.

Compared with current Prime Minister Pierre Laval, President Albert's willingness for peace is not that strong.

What President Albert wants to do more is actually to keep his presidential throne and let himself have supreme power.

"Minister Roman, since you have a sufficient plan, I will appoint you as the head of the diplomatic mission to be responsible for discussions with the British.

I have only one request, that is, to let the British join this war and defeat the Germans at all costs, do you understand? "President Albert asked in a deep voice.

For President Albert, who is in a high position, the war faction and the peace faction are not that important. The disputes between the two factions are not important. What is important is how to follow the will of the people and get rid of their own responsibilities as much as possible.

Let Minister Roman become the head of the diplomatic delegation to win over the British to join the war. This is obviously biased towards the war faction.

But at the same time, President Albert did not completely agree with Minister Roman's proposal, and also left some room for his possible peace behavior in the future.

The next thing is very simple. If Minister Roman can succeed and force Britain and Australasia to join the war against Germany, then President Albert will firmly advocate war.

But if Minister Roman fails, only France will be left to face Germany alone If so, I'm sorry, President Albert is a staunch peace advocate, and all the pro-war actions were instigated by Minister Roman.

President Albert was very satisfied with such a plan that had room for both advance and retreat. When he gave the order to Minister Roman, a smile appeared on President Albert's face.

Although it was a smile of satisfaction with his own plan, in the eyes of those who advocated peace, President Albert's behavior was an affirmation and appreciation of Minister Roman's pro-war ideas.

This also made those who advocated peace look at President Albert with anger in their eyes, and they hated this traitor.

Looking at Minister Roman again, although he was a little surprised that President Albert agreed to his plan so easily, he didn't think much about it, and retained the courage of a soldier, and said firmly: "Yes, Mr. President. ”

On April 9, 1936, France sent a diplomatic delegation to London, England, and announced a national mobilization on the same day.

In London, England, which is far away but close at the same time, a quarrel about the German-Austrian War was also breaking out.

The British wanted to see this war, but they also didn't want to see it.

For the British regional balance policy, the war between Germany and Italy and France and Austria was a perfect regional internal friction, which could strengthen Britain's control over Europe.

But the terrible thing was that the strength of Europe was not balanced at that time. Germany, which annexed Poland, was obviously the most powerful European country except the British Empire.

Let's look at France, which is fighting against Germany. The majority of the government is in favor of peace, and even the French people are mostly in favor of peace.

It is better to expect Austria to explode and fight against Germany evenly with the attack of Germany and Italy than to expect France, which is afraid of war, to defeat Germany.

This leads to a serious problem, that is, the balance of victory has tilted towards Germany and Italy. Compared with France, the current threat from Germany is greater.

The British seem to have recalled the horror of the German army 20 years ago and the terrible European war.

Regarding the war between Germany and Austria, there are generally three factions in Britain.

One faction, led by Prime Minister Baldwin, advocated not to participate, but to keep the war as balanced as possible, and let France and Germany play a game of attrition.

The second faction, led by some senior military officials, advocated participating in the war to prevent Germany, a greater threat, from becoming bigger and stronger. Compared with the already declining French, Germany is the most deadly threat in Europe. France is obviously unable to stop the Germans. If Germany is allowed to continue to annex more land, Britain, relying only on the British Isles, will never be a match for Germany, which dominates the European continent.

The third faction is led by some royalists and the public. These people don't care about the war. They are concerned about the present. The crisis of the former throne.

After all, the backyard of the house is on fire, who has the leisure to care about the war in other countries?

Unlike France, the throne crisis between Prime Minister Baldwin and Edward VIII prompted some royalists to start opposing Prime Minister Baldwin.

The stalemate between the two factions is also the most important problem in the UK. Edward VIII does not care about the war, he only cares about whether he can successfully marry Mrs. Simpson.

This also makes Britain lack the role of the final word. Even Prime Minister Baldwin is completely unable to unify the voices within the British government and let the British people be united against the outside world.
