Rudolf Hess, as the head of the Reich, was completely unaware of what was happening in the German High Command, and this was related to the fate of the entire German military, and the other two important characters, Raeder and Volkebier, were also unaware of it, because the two of them were studying other things at this time, and their attention was not on it at all. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Raeder was staying with Commodore Karl Dönitz, commander-in-chief of the German submarine forces, and they needed to discuss the award of the U29 submarine.

On September 17, the U29 submarine, led by its captain Captain Schuhart, attacked the British Navy's aircraft carrier formation HMS Brave, which was on anti-submarine alert patrol at the time, in the waters west of Ireland.

Not only did they destroy the aircraft carrier 'Brave' on the spot, but they even managed to escape under the siege of four destroyers, and were now on their way back to Germany.

This was the greatest victory of the German navy since it received the order to start a naval engagement against the British, and how to reward the crew on board on this issue became a matter that had to be carefully discussed.

As for the Air Force, Förkbier was not at the Air Command at all, so he had not yet received an order from Rudolf Hess to send an air force to western Germany.

After confirming that there would be no more major changes on the battlefield in Poland, Falkebil no longer stayed in the headquarters, but ran to a remote airfield where fighter pilots were being trained.

Some of these pilots who train here are from the Air Force, but a significant part are from the Navy.

Since the command of the USS Zeppelin has been completely let go and now belongs to the Navy, but the Navy does not have enough pilots to operate carrier-based aircraft, the task of training naval carrier-based aircraft pilots naturally falls to the Air Force.

In order to show his concern for these people, and to better discard the estrangement between the Navy and the Air Force because of the competition for the command of the Zeppelin, Volcbil's arrival here naturally has more symbolic meaning.

Of course, it was precisely because these two men did not know what was going on in the High Command that Heydrich had more time to gain opportunities.

If Raeder and Falkebil had stayed in the High Command, not to mention the attitude of the two of them, the status of a field marshal alone would not have allowed Heydrich, who was only an SS police general, to say those obviously reactionary words so easily.

What happened to the German military did not let anyone know, and most of the eyes of the world were still attracted by the situation in Poland.

The intervention of the Soviets completely plunged Poland, which was already on the verge of collapse, into a crisis from which it could never recover, and everyone knew that Poland had no chance, and this country, which had only been restored for just over 20 years, had once again become a term in history.

More countries outside the war were now turning their attention to Poland's allies, Britain and France.

The attitude of Britain and France on the Polish question had completely disappointed too many countries that had hopes for Britain and France, and they no longer believed in the promises made by Britain and France, and that Britain and France would come to their aid in their own difficult moments.

At the same time, the German propaganda machine was mobilized.

An hour-long video of helpless Polish women and children, full of corpses of Polish soldiers, was shown in German embassies around the world, on the battlefields of Poland, in which the Poles had become a ruined homeland!

At the end of the video, an unusually striking text is what Goebbels really wanted to make this video and spread it around: open your eyes and see, this is the helpless Poles! Remember, all this was given by your British and French allies! While we are trying to avoid war as much as possible, it is your British and French allies who are behind the scenes, but what about when war comes? Where are your allies!

Such a passage makes the diplomatic situation of Britain and France, which are already on the cusp, even more difficult, this is undoubtedly a critical blow, and Britain and France simply cannot come up with anything corresponding to fight back!

On this very day, British parliamentarians finally couldn't help it.

Arthur Greenwood, a member of parliament and a representative of the British opposition leader, was the first to attack: "We simply did not provide enough help when Poland needed it most. If we continue like this, Poland will be the first, followed by many more! Those allies of ours in the past will be disappointed in us one by one, and turn from active allies into passive allies of last resort! ”

Neville Chamberlain was under tremendous pressure to give a plausible explanation for his policy, but no matter how he tried to explain it, he could not hide the fact that Britain had become a spectator in the war between Germany and Poland, and that it was the British attitude that led to Poland's demise!

Also on this day, on the other side of the ocean, in the United States, another person is pushing for another crucial resolution!

That man was Roosevelt!

Roosevelt could not sit still, and after his secret discussions with the vice president, he finally put forward his idea in the US Congress, and he asked the joint session of the two houses to reconsider the relevant provisions of the neutrality bill on the arms embargo of the belligerents.

Because the isolationist sentiment in the United States was so strong, Roosevelt put an even more high-sounding mantle on his proposal: "The United States government will not put the American people in a situation of war." We have two seas fortresses and we are absolutely safe. But when war breaks out on the European continent, we can't afford to miss one opportunity after another! If we continue to adhere to the arms embargo at this time, we will lose our allies on one of the sides, and we will miss many opportunities, such as the economy! ”

"Our bill must be guided by a firm mindset that the United States must be kept out of war. But by selling weapons, and selling them for cash, we can keep us out of the war, and we don't have to use some means to force the United States into the war without either side trying to use the power of the United States. So, this way can better keep the United States out of the war! ”

Roosevelt's dialogue with Congress this time was in itself an attempt to break the isolationist mood in the United States little by little and allow his ambitions to be realized, so this is only a beginning, but not just a beginning!
