Hundreds of thousands of troops were stationed on the border and watched for a long time, which made the sensitive nerves of the Soviet Union tense for several years, but the German army did not take any action for a long time, but instead shook hands with the Soviet leaders on many international diplomatic occasions, not to mention that the United States, Britain and other countries were puzzled, and even the Soviet Union did not know the real purpose of Germany.

It is worth mentioning that Germany does not occupy such large cities as Warsaw, and those scattered small and medium-sized cities have also been connected to the overall situation through the improvement of transportation. At this time, Poland did not have a formed army of its own, and the German garrison was an important cornerstone of its stability. Thus, the Germans could feed on the spot and were supported by the Poles.

On the other hand, the Soviet Union, although it occupied large cities, also took on the responsibility of maintaining the food supply of hundreds of thousands of local residents. In particular, the hidden anti-Soviet forces often stir up trouble, making the occupation army feel like roasting on a fire all day long, and in addition to the fact that the lone army has penetrated deep and the logistical supply lines have been lengthened, not to mention the pressure on military supplies, the danger has also increased exponentially.

At the beginning of 1937, the Soviet Union was preparing to build a direct railway to Warsaw, but the plan was easy to take, but the implementation was complicated, and over time, the matter was shelved.

Eric and Hoffman adopted the strategy of encircling but not fighting, in order to fight with the Soviet army, compare endurance, and keep the Soviet army in a state of tension at any time.

The Vistula River flows through several Polish provinces, forming a number of uninhabited swamp clusters in its lower reaches, but since the 11th Army was stationed, transportation here has improved dramatically, and it was not until the arrival of the 10th Panzer Group that the troop had even improved its mode of travel.

As a veteran of World War I, Rommel's name was already well known to the military circles of many European countries, and as long as he was there, the Soviet Union would not ask for trouble. This is the same as the raison d'être of General William Loeb. Eric took this aspect into account when selecting his generals.

The year 1938 was a fruitful year for German diplomacy, and on March 12, following Finland, Czechoslovakia announced its membership in the German-led European military alliance. This news came as a great surprise to Britain, the United States, and other countries, and even more to the Soviet Union.

On March 16 of the same year, Defense Minister Friedrich von Zeckert led a delegation to visit Czechoslovakia, at which the defense ministers of the two sides expressed their views on the overall defense of Europe and expressed concern about the Soviet Union's invasion and occupation of Poland and the threat of force against its European neighbors.

On the same day, the German ambassador to China, Reichenau, returned to China to report on his work, and Eric cordially received him at the Hanseatic Palace.

Soon after, Reichenau was reappointed ambassador to Czechoslovakia, and on the 22nd of this month he flew to Prague with a credential to take up his post.

This seemingly very ordinary appointment actually contains many secrets that no one knows. First of all, Reichenau was a very competent and wise diplomat, who was not only loyal to his country, but also very respectful of the national interests of his country. Eric placed him in Czechoslovakia, on the one hand, to steadily promote the traditional friendship between Germany and the Czech Republic, and on the other hand, to unite the entire Slavic community.

In establishing its circle of friends, Germany undoubtedly touched the security interests of Britain, France, the United States, and the Soviet Union, and made the above-mentioned countries deeply uneasy. However, this reflex did not damage Germany's international image, but on the contrary, it promoted the integration process of the European military alliance and led many countries to propose an alliance with Germany.

On April 1, Sweden abruptly announced its membership in the European Military Alliance, and took the initiative to invite German President Erik Adrian, Chancellor Hans Luther, and Defense Minister Friedrich von Zeckert to visit Sweden at a later date.

This momentous decision did not allow other countries to express regret, and Italy was not far behind, when King Emanuele III and Prime Minister Benito Mussolini announced their accession to the European Military Alliance in Rome on April 2.

At this point, Britain did not make any remarks, and soon Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain led a delegation to visit Germany. Eric received him very warmly and hinted that England could also be a friend of Germany.

Chamberlain's trip to Germany was only a tentative trip, and in response to the different voices at home and the concerns of the royal family, he could only cross the channel to meet Eric in person and get a preliminary understanding of what the Germans were thinking. Eric had long recognized his intentions, so he praised Britain and warmly invited Britain to join the European integration military alliance.

In response to Eric's gracious invitation, Chamberlain smiled and did not say no. In the following days, accompanied by Chancellor Hans, he visited three major water conservancy projects in Germany and some large private enterprises in Berlin.

In late spring and early summer, Chamberlain, who felt that he had gained a lot, returned to London from Germany, and as soon as he stepped off the plane, he was surrounded by domestic and foreign journalists and some members of the public.

The public has been denouncing the government for its inaction in the international community, and for failing to do anything tangible to solve the problem, except to allow Germany to expand unchecked. In response to the general concerns of the German public, Chamberlain was very confident.

When a reporter asked whether Britain had been excluded from the European military alliance initiated by Germany, Chamberlain looked back and laughed and said: "This is the peace of our time, and I suggest you go to sleep peacefully!" ”

All the reporters heard this sentence clearly, and they all stopped in their tracks, watching in amazement as Mr. Prime Minister and his entourage boarded the car and drove away.

If this was merely a well-intentioned hint from the Germans, then the British had reason to sit back and relax. If this were a smokescreen, Chamberlain's optimism could ruin the British Isles, and even all of Europe.

The French had always been on the side of the British, and were now replacing Chamberlain in helping left-wing radical groups against Jose's Spanish government forces, but Chamberlain's blind optimism did not comfort the French, on the contrary, the Dume government saw a glimmer of potential threat.

At 10 a.m. on 3 April, the Portuguese government officially announced its membership in the European Military Alliance, followed by Egypt in the afternoon of the same day, announcing its membership in the European Military Alliance.

On April 4, Britain and France met urgently in London and announced the formation of an alliance between Britain and France.

At this time, the factional struggle had formed a confrontation without gunpowder, and on April 5, the government of Jose in Spain also announced its membership in the European Military Integration Alliance. As soon as this news came out, it immediately triggered a strong reaction from all over the world, and relations between the Soviet Union and Germany deteriorated further.

At the initiative of the United Kingdom, European countries convened an emergency meeting of pan-European defense ministers in Munich, Germany. On 6 April, representatives of almost all European countries, with the exception of Denmark, were present. For the first time, the United States was excluded, and the USSR did not receive an invitation. The main purpose of the meeting was to advocate peace in Europe, and Britain proposed that Britain, France, Germany, Sweden, Turkey, and Italy form an alliance to jointly ensure overall European security.

This suggestion of harboring evil intentions was soon alerted by Zecket, but he did not expose the conspiracy of the British on the spot.

Britain and France, who had made peace with the Soviets in the Spanish Civil War, and now suddenly excluded the United States and the Soviet Union, the so-called Six-Nation Coalition was in fact using the old German team to directly confront these two countries, while Britain and France continued to be good guys.

After listening to Zeckert's report, Eric also found that the purpose of the British was to provoke contradictions between Germany and the Soviet Union and Germany and the United States, and take the opportunity to divide the European military alliance.

At the sensitive period of the Japanese invasion of China, both the United States and Germany lost their vast Oriental markets at the same time, and played the role of fellow citizens in the Spanish Civil War, and the intention to include them in the enemy at this time would probably keep German trade out of the European continent, and even the East Asian fleet would have to be repatriated from Kuwait.

The Munich Conference did not receive the support of Germany, and Sweden, Turkey, and Italy did not sign the agreement, and for the first time, Britain's plan to blame others was frustrated.
