The two walked to the sofa as they spoke, took a glass of wine and sat down, and got down to business.

"First of all, on behalf of all the Jews in our country and in the world, I would like to say thank you for personally leading the rescue of innocent people last time in Munich." Albert said seriously.

"Oh, that's what I'm supposed to do, we Germany are peace-loving, how could we allow such a cruel thing to happen?" Leon said with a wave of his hand.

"Well, we all see Germany's yearning for peace, and I am confident that the Wehrmacht, in the hands of you, General Lyon, will not make the same mistakes as the Second Reich." Albert looked Leon in the eye and said.

"Of course, I am also very much against war personally, I think everything should follow the will of the people, the people love peace, so why should we, as servants of the people, go against this will?" Leon took a sip of his wine, unconcerned about the warning from Prince Albert's mouth, and said with a smile.

This phrase also has other meanings, and the implication is that as long as the people agree to war, then he will not hesitate to start it. However, Albert apparently didn't hear the sound, and he nodded in satisfaction and clinked glasses with Leon.

"However, Prince Albert, while we in Germany are peace-loving, we are very concerned that our neighbour France has been developing armaments." Leon said sincerely.

Albert frowned lightly and said, "Please rest assured General Lyon on this point, if France dares to start a war, we will definitely be on your side." ”

"Of course we know that your country will support us, but France now has the world's largest army force, and our existing 100,000 Wehrmacht alone cannot stop the French attack." Leon paused, and continued, "I'm afraid that when the time comes, France will occupy our Germany, and it will cross the English Channel to attack your country!" ”

The meaning of Leon's words is very clear, that is, to tell the British that the French army is fully capable of crushing the existing British and German, and if you still refuse to let go of the Treaty of Versailles, then you will be unlucky when the French come ashore.

Britain also understood the strength of France's current army, and although it was very dangerous to break the Treaty of Versailles, it was obviously even more dangerous to lose France, which was a constraint from Germany.

Albert's face was entangled, he thought carefully for a long time, and then drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and said to Leon: "General Leon, I understand, I will reflect the situation in your country upwards when I go back." ”

Leon nodded gratefully, but snorted coldly in his heart, this group of stupid British, daydreaming all day long, and trying to win over Germany against France, and trying to kill the German army at 100,000, obviously wanting to use Germany as cannon fodder.

However, the purpose of Lyon's visit had been achieved, and in Lyon's plan, it was impossible for Britain to directly agree to absolve the Treaty of Versailles, and now it was possible to consider it.

Lyon is not in a hurry, sooner or later the strength of the French will exceed the bottom line of the British, and at that time, Germany will not care even if it directly tears up the contract.

Speaking of which, Albert understood Germany's wishes, and Lyon had secretly revealed that Germany was also interested in forming an alliance, and they were willing to work with Britain to suppress France, as long as Britain was willing to agree to Germany's military expansion.

So Albert, who had completed the task, casually made an excuse and left the banquet with Princess Elizabeth, and hurried to meet with Prime Minister Baldwin.

"Germany is willing to agree to an alliance with us." Albert said hurriedly as soon as he saw Baldwin.

"What about the conditions? They definitely have conditions! Baldwin said calmly.

"On the condition that we agree to expand their army!" Albert was embarrassed and said, "Although I think this is a reasonable request, if Germany expands its army and then turns to France, then we will really be finished." ”

"No, compared to England, France is the country that Germany hates the most, after all, France still occupies the Alsace-Lorraine area." Baldwin is not at all optimistic about the German-French cooperation.

Baldwin deserves to be the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, and he is indeed very accurate in this regard, according to Lyon's current plan, the first object of revenge after the re-emergence of Germany is France. For Germany, if France does not die, they will not be able to dominate Europe.

"So you've decided to agree to the German expansion?" Albert asked hesitantly.

"That's right! You can't want the horse to run and not give the horse grazing. Baldwin nodded, and continued, "But there must be a limit to the expansion, and I intend to have them expand their army by 200,000, so that they will have 300,000 Wehrmacht, which will be enough to last until the international arbitration comes." ”

"I'm afraid 300,000 is not enough, you must know that France now has more than 60 divisions and more than 700,000 troops, and they also have a powerful navy and air force, which Germany cannot resist." Albert did not think that the 200,000 more Wehrmacht would help Germany, and it was better not to loosen the grip on Germany.

"So I intend to allow Germany to have a navy strong enough to rival France." Baldwin said slowly.

"Navy?! This...... Doesn't that threaten us? Albert was jumped, having served in the Royal Navy and understood how much trouble the German High Seas Fleet had caused to Britain in the first place.

"So I'm going to sign an agreement with them to limit the tonnage of their navy." Baldwin touched his chin, thought for a moment and said, "I think it's appropriate to have 20% of our gross tonnage, so that they are not enough to threaten us and not defeat the French Navy." Oh, by the way, we have to get them to join the Washington Naval Treaty so that no other country will object to our decision. ”

The Washington Naval Treaty, signed on February 6, 1922, stipulates that the tonnage of a single capital ship of the signatory countries shall not exceed 35,560 tons, and the caliber of artillery shall not exceed 16 inches (406mm), and stipulates that the total tonnage ratio of the capital ships of the navies of the United States, Britain, Japan, France, and Italy shall be 10:10:6:3.5:3.5. In this life, because Lyon found the flaws of Britain and France, after several efforts to fan the flames, the "Anglo-German Naval Treaty", which was supposed to be signed in 1935, was brought forward by 10 years, which made the future even more deviated from the track of history.

Early the next morning, Lyon had planned to leave England for France today to continue his plans around Europe. As he and Sophia walked out of the hotel, he received an invitation from the British side to stay one more day, and that tomorrow afternoon the British would hold a meeting in Portsmouth to amend parts of the Treaty of Versailles, at which time Lyon would attend as a representative of the German side.

Receiving this news, Leon was completely stunned, he couldn't believe his ears, it's like you are working hard for a living, and suddenly someone comes to you and tells you that one of your relatives abroad has died, leaving you with a multibillion-dollar inheritance for you to hurry up and claim.

After the sluggishness was ecstasy, Leon hugged Sophia beside him and kissed her deeply, then looked up to the sky and laughed.

Sophia's face was flushed with joy, and the fact that she was surrounded by soldiers made her understand how severely the Treaty of Versailles constrained Germany.

However, what made her so happy that her face was red was not all the news, but that she understood that the man she loved in front of her would become a hero for the whole of Germany when she returned home!
