That's right, Hitler was waiting for news that negotiations were underway with the USSR.

As a qualified politician, Hitler absolutely did not want to see a two-front confrontation. Moreover, the strength of the Soviet Union also seems to be very strong, with more than 3 million troops, the largest population in Europe, the largest industrial strength in Europe, and the vast territory brings huge depth.

At present, it is not only Germany that wants to negotiate with the Soviet Union, but Britain and France have also approached the Soviet Union, and both hope that the Soviet Union can help their side.

In the face of the sudden popularity, Comrade Steel, who is the controller of it, knows that neither of these two parties has a good intention.

Britain and France wanted the Soviet Union to provide security for Poland, and the deeper reason was that the Soviet Union was on the front line of resistance to Germany. Although Comrade Iron and Steel did not mind that Britain and France had left themselves alone to discuss the Czech issue with Germany, this time the British and French conditions for Comrade Iron and Steel were completely unsatisfactory to him.

Britain and France offered military assistance to Germany and its allies in the event of an attack against Poland. Comrade Iron pointed out that the Soviet Union did not currently have a border with Germany and had to pass through Poland, so Stalin asked Britain and France to negotiate with Poland to get them to agree to the transit of Soviet troops.

As for the demands of Britain and France on the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union itself should negotiate with Poland on this matter. Poland, for its part, categorically refused to allow Soviet troops to cross the border, and Britain and France did not induce them to change their positions.

In the face of the evasive attitude of Britain and France, Stalin was dissatisfied, although the Soviet Union also had careful thoughts to expand its own influence, but the sincerity of the two countries was worse than its own. If the Soviet Union is regarded as a mixture of water in wine, Britain and France are directly mixed with water. As a result, neither side trusted the other, and although it was under pressure from the Axis powers, the deep guard between the two sides was not lifted.

Unlike Britain and France, negotiations with Germany were much more direct. Hitler was directly willing to let the Soviet Union push the border to the Curzon Line without the Soviet Union meddling in Poland.

The border, named after British Foreign Secretary Curzon, was the proposed border between Britain and France for Poland's eastern border. It's just that I didn't expect Poland to be so explosive, and it was about to push the border to Minsk in one go. Although the Soviet-Polish War was later triggered, Poland, which used Romanian reinforcements to resist the Soviet attack, firmly secured the border not far from Minsk.

Now Germany's decision to divide Poland in half naturally became more of an appetite for Stalin. Moreover, the current conflict between the Soviet Union and Japan in the Far East also restrained Stalin's mind.

This conflict, provoked by the Kwantung Army, made Stalin unusually wary of Japanese ambitions. In order to defeat Japan's attempt to invade the north, Stalin had already mobilized elite troops and strong generals to have a good fight with these hateful Japanese.

Although the Soviet Union was held back by Japan, Stalin's appetite was still good. With a wave of his hand, he not only proposed the partition of Poland, but also drew the three Baltic states into it, and added Finland, making it clear that the Soviet Union intended to take advantage of Hitler.

Faced with Stalin's astonishing appetite, Hitler gritted his teeth and agreed.

As a result, Germany and its greatest enemy, the Soviet Union, signed a non-aggression pact on August 7.

Its main contents are as follows: 1. The Contracting Parties undertake not to use force, aggression or attack against each other, either alone or in association with other States.

2. In the event of a war between one of the Contracting Parties and a third State, the other High Contracting Party shall not give any support to the third State.

3. The Contracting Parties shall in no way participate in any group of States which, directly or indirectly, opposes another State Party. (The alliance between Germany and Romania must also be guided by the prohibition of any anti-Soviet action in Romania.) ）

4. The Parties shall settle all disputes between the High Contracting Parties by peaceful means.

5. The treaty is valid for 10 years.

6. Secret Subsidiary Protocols. It stipulates that the two sides shall take the northern border of Lithuania in the Baltic Sea coast and the Curzon Line of Poland as the demarcation line.

With the signing of the Soviet-German non-aggression pact, Hitler's last fat foot was removed, and now Hitler can concentrate on solving the Polish question as a priority.

And this time Hitler did not intend to go into battle alone, he intended to pull allies. Needless to say, Romania was again targeted by Hitler.

So Ribbentrop, who had just signed the Soviet-German non-aggression pact, had just returned from Moscow and continued to Bucharest.

This time, Ribbentrop came to Romania and was treated much better than before, and Prime Minister Mihalakai personally came to the airport to greet him.

However, Ribbentrop could not care about the Romanian courtesy, and he needed to meet Eder urgently. Because time waits for no one, the German company has decided on the launch time.

"Your Excellency Foreign Minister, I have seen your country's request. But is it really good to sign a non-aggression pact with the USSR? ”

Although Eder knew that the treaty would not last long, as an anti-Soviet diehard, Eder still needed to express his opinion on behalf of Romania.

"Your Majesty, I also understand your country's concerns. But now the relations between your two countries and Britain and France are sharply strained, and your country's demands in the direction of Greece are blocked by Britain and France, and our country's demands on the Polish side are likewise rejected. So the head of our country believes that at the moment it is necessary to give priority to the Anglo-French question, and only then consider relations with the USSR. ”

It was clear that Ribbentrop had come prepared this time. Use Greece to show Romania that Britain and France are the ones that need the most attention at the moment.

Moreover, this time he did not come to explain to Romania the Soviet-German non-aggression pact, but with the aim of framing Poland with Romania.

Ribbentrop continued. "Your Majesty, this time we hope that Romania will also join in the punitive military campaign against Poland. For this reason, we are willing to give an additional 15 per cent of the distribution of the spoils of war in addition to the previous conditions.

Of course, my country knows that Romania does not care very much about this, but it is also a sign of a strong alliance between our two countries. In return, we are equally willing to send an army to aid your country's operations in Greece. ”

The meaning of Ribbentrop's words, Eder did not understand. What is the difference between this and inviting Italy to join in the partition of Greece, they all want to force the other party to get on the bus.

"I don't have a problem here, you can negotiate the plan with the military in detail."

Eder's words made Ribbentrop a little incredulous of his ears, and this majesty agreed in one mouth, and he agreed. Didn't ripped off as usual and fought for more benefits.

Eder didn't agree, no, rather than continue to wait and see, it was better to leave the game early. You can also let your allies see how strong you are.

No one is stupid, but Romania has no burden at all on getting into a German car. Although the original history of the axis can be described as a complete failure, but now there is one more Romania The situation is different.

And Romania did not have a choice, if it offended both Germany and the Soviet Union, the next one to be divided was itself. And just by virtue of the Anglo-French attitude towards Poland, who would dare to put hope on them.

desperately defended Britain and France, and Eder was not their father, using Romania as their shield. As for the American imperialist behind him, by the time he was gone, Eder's grave grass would grow tall. And the USSR ...... Forget it (the family of Nicholas II, whose bones can't be found, have something to say).

Therefore, joining Germany is the only option for Romania, otherwise Romania will not be able to pass this hurdle.

So since you want to join, then don't be half-hearted, there will be no good end for two or five boys. So Eder was not at all burdened by joining the Axis, who put Romania in this damn position.
