Chapter 118: The Attitude of Britain and France

Germany, Berlin, Presidential Palace.

"Führer, Operation Catalyst was a complete success." Ludwig reported to Leon with a smile on his face.

"Oh?" Leon smiled, "How's it going?" ”

"The effect was very good, the Czech army killed about 900 civilians in total, and the Czech armored forces that arrived later captured at least 500 people." "Now the whole Sudetenland is in chaos, and clashes of one magnitude or other kind have erupted almost everywhere. ”

"Good!" Leon nodded, "Help me contact Goebbels, I'm going to give a worldwide speech about the atrocities of the Czech government!" ”

Goebbels, with Lyon's orders, soon set in motion a huge propaganda machine, and half an hour later, Lyon delivered a speech to the world on the radio about the Czech armed suppression of the Sudetenland.

"All peace-loving, justice-loving, democracy-loving gentlemen and ladies of the world, good afternoon, I am the President of Germany, Leon Andrés."

"I'm sure many have heard about a horrific incident in Karlovy Vary, a beautiful town in the Sudetenland region of Czechoslovakia, where Czech government forces armed the suppression of people's marches, killing more than 900 unarmed civilians and capturing 500 poor people."

"And just three days before this happened, they also openly defined the referendum on the Sudetenland as illegal."

"I personally regret that the Czechoslovak government did not recognize the results of the Sudetenland, but we can't do anything about it, because it's a matter for the League of Nations."

"But Czechoslovakia dared to do such a thing to the unarmed people, who were only marching on the march, me! Germany! Say you can't sit idly by! Because it's not just a matter of a country or an organization, it's about humanity, it's about justice, it's about Germanic peoples. ”

……

"If these tormented people don't get rights and help, they will get it from us."

……

"I can no longer tolerate the Czechs at the hands of 3.5 million Germans!"

……

"We regret if this incident affected or damaged our relations with the countries of Europe, but the responsibility is not on our side, on the contrary, we are on the side of justice!"

……

"I command! The Wehrmacht Center immediately rushed to the Sudetenland to protect the people there! ”

……

"God bless Germany!"

While Lyons was giving an impassioned speech, the Sudetenland's troops directly under Radetzky were engaged in a battle with forces loyal to the Czechoslovak government.

The Sudetenland town of Ust, inside Radetzki's headquarters.

"General Radesky, our 107th Infantry Regiment in Stood was blocked by Tulenz's armored forces and could not support the 31st Infantry Regiment in Kratovey!" A staff officer said nervously towards Radesky.

"What about Susice's 110 Infantry Regiment? Can't they go over and help? Radetzky said with a headache.

"The 110th Infantry Regiment is still clearing the remaining forces of the Czech army in Sušice." The staff officer glanced at the information and replied, "They can't support the 31st Infantry Regiment!" ”

"And what about our armored forces?" Radesky knocked on the table, "What about tank No. 2 given to us by the Führer?" ”

"They, they're fighting with Karlovy Vary's armored forces." The staff officer wiped his cold sweat, "I won't be able to get out of my body for a while." ”

"Damn it! Is there no army on the side that can pull out their hands? Radesky yelled in annoyance, "Are we going to have to watch the 31st Infantry Regiment be eaten?" ”

When the staff officer heard this, he looked at him with innocent eyes, and thought, I just didn't know why I came to ask you.

"General Radesky, good news!" Just when Radesky was upset about the 31 Infantry Regiment, another staff officer ran over with a piece of paper, "Reinforcements from the Führer are coming!" The forward units of the Wehrmacht Army Center have arrived in Teplice! ”

"That's great!" Radetzky smiled, "Inform ......"

Before he could finish his sentence, a man came running up and interrupted him: "The Czechoslovak government has given us a temporary ceasefire. ”

"Are you a pig?!" Radesky, who was interrupted, was very upset, "You can do whatever he tells you to do?" Now we are in a state of hostilities! Continue ......"

His words were interrupted again, and another man ran over and said: "General Radesky, the Führer ordered us to temporarily cease fire. ”

Radesky was depressed, but this ceasefire order was not from the Czechoslovak side: "Well, order the troops to cease fire on all fronts." In other words, what does the Führer want to do? ”

"What the hell are they trying to do?" At this moment, in the presidential palace, Leon was also talking to himself: "Suddenly tell me that I am on my way to Berlin." ”

"Führer, Army Group Center has all stopped advancing in accordance with the order." Ludwig walked in and reported.

"Yes." Leon nodded, signaling that he knew, and then said to Ludwig, "You arrange for someone to go with me to the airport to pick up the new British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain and French President Lebrun." ”

"The Prime Minister of Britain and the President of France?" Ludwig felt strange.

"I don't know exactly what it is, but it's mostly for the Sudetenland." Leon said.

"Okay, I see, I'll arrange it." Ludwig nodded.

Three hours later, Berlin Airport.

"Welcome to Berlin." Leon said to Chamberlain and Lebrun, who had just gotten off the plane.

"Yes." Facing the enthusiastic Leon, Lebrun just nodded lightly and sighed.

Chamberlain, on the other hand, was the complete opposite.

"Haha, Yuan Xiansheng, hello." Chamberlain shook Leon's hand and said with a smile.

"President Chamberlain, it is a great pleasure to meet you for the first time, and in the future, we will have more in-depth cooperation between Britain and Germany for world peace!"

In fact, Lyon was completely unprepared for Chamberlain's sudden appointment, because according to the time of the previous life, MacDonald retired in 1935, and then Baldwin became prime minister again.

And now Chamberlain's sudden appointment can only show one point, that is, European relations are becoming more and more tense, and Britain needs Chamberlain, the "appeased" prime minister, to maintain peace.

But Chamberlain's appointment was a good thing for Germany.

"Mr. Lebrun and I have only one thing to do in Berlin this time, and that is to hope that Germany and the Czech Republic will maintain peace." Chamberlain said to Leon sincerely, "What can't you sit down and settle properly?" War only brings disaster to the people. ”

"As I said in my earlier speech, we are on the side of justice and have been forced to march into the Sudetenland." Leon spread his hands and said "helplessly": "You have also seen the shameless behavior of the Czech government. ”

"We understand Germany's feelings, and we condemn the brutality of the Czech government." "But we can't inflict disaster on the people." I have already informed the Czechoslovak side and asked them to send a representative to negotiate a settlement of this matter, so that peace can be made. ”

"Well, since Mr. Prime Minister is so concerned about this, then I will wait for the representative of Czechoslovakia." Leon agreed "embarrassed".
