057 Hess forced forward
"I don't know what you're worried about, but it seems to me that we've reached a point where there's no way to stop, and there's no way we can stop whether the British really go to war with us as they say they say!"
Everyone could see that Hess's heart was full of worry, he was afraid, the pressure brought to him by the British was too great, and now time was approaching the ultimatum given by the French!
Hess was in a dilemma, he didn't know what to do to make the right decision, Hess was scared in his heart, he wanted to give the order to withdraw the troops, let the troops withdraw from Poland, and then through the efforts of the Foreign Office, so as to avoid a war between the Germans and England or France!
But a figure like Himmler obviously didn't intend to let the hard-won opportunity for war come to an end in such a hurry, so he kept instigating Khrudolph? Hess. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Führer, I don't think we should think too much about the British and the French at this time, and don't forget, we still have a secret treaty with the Russians."
Ribbentrop also came out to help, but Ribbentrop was not for any great revenge, as a diplomat, he could not ignore external factors, but obviously, he decided in his heart that the Soviets would definitely send troops, but it was not yet the right time for the Soviets to send troops.
Once the Soviets sent troops, neither Britain nor France would dare to provoke a war easily, and the British would only become a bluffing fox at that time, unable to do anything substantial.
France, on the other hand, is even less likely to start a war easily!
The French had an impregnable Maginot Line, they were able to guarantee their safety, but in the event of an attack on Germany, they would have to cross the Maginot Line, and the French would not have had the audacity to put their troops on unprotected German soil for war!
"The Soviets will not get involved easily, they will not enter the war until they are absolutely sure, you know, their own internal problems have not been dealt with!"
"Internal problems take time to deal with, but if there are suitable external events as an outlet, then any internal problems will be solved! Stalin was not a fool, he should have understood that if his domestic problems could not be solved, then provoking a war abroad would be the best way to divert attention, and even more so the best choice for him to consolidate his position! ”
Joseph, who has not made a clear statement? Goebbels also stepped forward at this moment.
Goebbels is the Minister of Propaganda, he is not a Minister of War, let alone a Minister of Economy, but he knows the situation in Germany very well, once the war starts, it must not be stopped, and if it is stopped, German society will face a series of problems!
Moreover, the Soviet Union was also facing many domestic problems, and Stalin, as the leader of the Soviet state, must have known that the best solution was to divert domestic contradictions through war.
"Doctor, do you think we have to keep fighting?"
Just as he was when Hitler was still in power, Hess was still very concerned about Goebbels' opinions.
"Yes, we must fight, and we must eat Poland cleanly!"
Goebbels said his thoughts in a solemn tone, he is a fanatics, only extremely fanatical people can really master propaganda, and such fanatics, of course, are not willing to accept half-!
"Well, in that case, then let's keep fighting!"
Hess has no other choice, and if he still wants to back down at this time, then he will completely lose his so-called prestige in the German upper echelons.
"Minister, you must manage your relations with the Soviets, and it is best to get them to send troops as soon as possible to solve the Polish problem together. You also have to hold off England and France as long as you can, and if they still insist on waging war against us, then please delay as far back as possible, preferably after we have settled the Polish problem! ”
"Okay, Führer, rest assured, I will do my best."
Ribbentrop replied very simply, it was his job, but to what extent he could do it, I am afraid that even he did not know.
"Oh, yes, the United States, and the United States! You must pay special attention to the attitude of the United States! The relationship between the United States and Britain is very complicated, and now Britain has declared war on us, and the war potential of the United States is very huge, and we must not let them easily declare war on us, and if we want them to remain neutral, we must let them remain neutral! ”
"Don't worry, I'll take care of this."
Seeing Hess so nervous, Ribbentrop can actually understand that although Germany and the United States do not seem to have a half-dime relationship geographically, but because of the inextricable connection between Britain and the United States, everything is not easy to say, and among the countries outside Europe mentioned earlier, the United States is the most important to him!
"Well, in that case, then you all go and get busy. If there's anything that can come to me directly, if I'm not here, then I'm in the high command, and I'm not going to leave these two places anyway. ”
……
It was soon five o'clock in the afternoon, the last time left by France to the Germans, and yet, the Germans apparently did not give France any response either!
At half past five in the afternoon, the French government officially issued a statement that France had declared war on Germany!
Less than two hours after France declared war, Australia and New Zealand declared war on Germany that night.
Australia and New Zealand declared war on Germany, which was the first country outside Europe to declare war on Germany, although these two countries were 108,000 miles away from Germany, completely out of reach, and they were both Commonwealth countries, so it seemed reasonable to declare war.
But even the seemingly reasonable result still made Hess nervous for a while!
But soon, Rudolph? Hess put his mind at ease, because at this moment, he had received a personal assurance from Ribbentrop that after Ribbentrop's urgent contact, the American side had given a positive reply and that they would declare neutrality as soon as possible.
Although the United States has not officially declared its neutrality, since it is possible to get their assurances, Rudolph? Hess's heart was completely relaxed......

PS: A reader asked Remnant Xing if there was something wrong with the protagonist driving a broken van into Tibet at the beginning, and whether the broken van could run the Sichuan-Tibet line.
Here, I would like to answer this reader's question head-on.
The vans are basically made in China, and now there are many people who don't believe in domestic things, but Remnant Star can guarantee that the most you can encounter on the Sichuan-Tibet line are precisely these domestic vans, which look like they should be very ordinary or even very low-end cars, and they did it!
The Sichuan-Tibet line is very difficult to walk, but as long as you have a dream, you can chase it to your heart's content.
Maybe it's a dirt bike, maybe it's a pickup truck, or maybe it's a broken van, or even a motorcycle, you can go and chase your dreams.
Bicycles are also available...... That assumes you've decided that you're going to put yourself through the toughest rides in the world......
