035 Poland's refusal
It has been more than a month since Heydrich came to Li Ling, during which Heydrich came two or three times, and Heydrich also agreed with his own opinions. The government has never made a corresponding statement, and the time has been delayed again and again, and the time for the original war is getting closer and closer!
Although the German army was ready to annex Poland at this time, it was not completely certain, because they needed to put most of their troops on the border between Germany and France, ready for a possible war. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Hess suppressed Li Ling's news, he didn't want to be controlled by Li Ling, he was an ambitious person, he was the master of Germany, so he didn't want to be subject to anyone!
However, at this time, at the behest of Heydrich, Li Ling's proposal was wildly spread among the top echelons of the German military!
Until the military found Hess, Hess had to respond, and he could only pretend that he didn't know, because Li Ling's suggestion he couldn't refuse for any reason! And at this moment, there is only about a month left before the war is launched!
On August 3, 1939, the German Foreign Ministry officially submitted a request to the Soviet side aimed at comprehensively improving Soviet-German relations!
As soon as Germany's request was made, Britain and France responded!
On 11 August, the British and French military delegations arrived in Moscow and immediately began diplomatic negotiations.
On 14 August, the German ambassador informed the Soviet government that German Foreign Minister Ribbentrop would visit Moscow in order to clarify Soviet-German relations.
On 15 August, upon learning of Ribbentrop's imminent departure for Moscow, the British and French governments immediately urged the military delegations in the Soviet Union to immediately conclude a military treaty with the Soviet government.
The actions of Britain, France and Germany were simply a rare opportunity for the Soviet Union at this time!
Stalin never left the Kremlin during these days, and all he had to do now was to quietly watch and look for a solution that would be most beneficial to the Soviet Union.
What the current Soviet Union needs is not war, although Stalin could already see that a worldwide war is about to break out, and the Soviet Union will inevitably be involved!
Now the Soviet Union is standing in the middle, Stalin, as the leader, naturally knows the current armament situation of the Soviet Union, the current Soviet Union cannot participate in the war at all, he must stay away from the war as much as possible, and give the Soviet army enough time to adjust and develop!
But in the same way, if the Soviet Union had entered the war at this time, it would have caused the balance of victory to immediately tip in favor of one side or the other, and a worldwide war could have been avoided, and the Soviet Union might have been able to take this opportunity to seek more living space!
It's a dilemma!
On August 20, Stalin made his first decision that the head of the delegation of the Soviet government, who was also a member of the USSR Defense Committee, Kliment? Yevremovich? Comrade Voroshilov, in consultations with the Anglo-French military delegation, put Stalin's meaning out!
The Soviets can send troops to defend Poland!
When the Anglo-French military delegation heard about the decision of the Soviet side, it was almost ecstatic! But then when they reported to the British and French governments and the Polish authorities, the Polish authorities made an unexpected decision!
The Polish authorities forbade the entry of Soviet troops into the territory of Poland!
This is a rejection that seems completely nonsense!
Since the Soviet side wants to send troops to defend Poland, then the Soviet army must send troops into the territory of Poland, otherwise, Poland is in the middle of the Soviet Union and Germany, and the Soviet army will definitely not be able to complete the task of defending Poland!
This should have been an understandable request, but I didn't expect the Poles to ruthlessly refuse!
In fact, the Polish authorities were not only afraid of the German invasion, they were also afraid of the Soviet Union! Poland was restored after the First World War, and Poland had been divided between Germany and Tsarist Russia, the predecessor of the Soviet Union, countless times in history, and they were as wary of the Soviet Union as they were of Germany!
After learning of the decision of the Polish side, the British and French military delegations had almost no choice but to helplessly tell Voroshilov that the Poles forbade Soviet troops to go to their territory!
Voroshilov shook his head slightly, and also looked at the officials of the British and French delegations with some helplessness: "In this case, we can only wait for a certain political event to happen!" ”
As Voroshilov said, after just two days, one thing came as expected!
On August 23, German Foreign Minister Ribbentrop took Rudolf with him? Hess's authority to handle Soviet-German relations led a group of German officials to Moscow, and among them, a Chinese face was so eye-catching!
After arriving in Moscow in the morning and arranging a place to stay, Ribbentrop alone took the Chinese face to the Kremlin that afternoon, where they were to meet with the supreme leader of the Soviet Union, Stalin!
The young man with this Chinese face brought by Ribbentrop was none other than a soldier of the 3rd Panzer Division of the Wehrmacht, and the soldier's name was Li Ling!
In fact, in the beginning, Hess's plan was to leave Ribbentrop alone in Moscow, not only because he believed in Ribbentrop's ability, but more importantly, he needed to find a way to prove that his decision was right!
But what people didn't expect happened right after he made his decision!
Guderian, the main general of the German military, the head of the Gestapo, and even the German Minister of Propaganda Joseph? Goebbels strongly demanded to take Li Ling with him!
Goebbels and Guderian asked to take Li Ling with them because they were very familiar with Li Ling, and naturally understood Li Ling's ability, and more importantly, the conclusion of a peace treaty with the Soviet Union itself was Li Ling's suggestion!
Since it was Li Ling's suggestion, it would be better for Li Ling to go over in person!
As for why the German military suddenly proposed to take Li Ling with them, this has nothing to do with German Navy Marshal Raeder and Luftwaffe Field Marshal Volkebier!
The two of them still remember that afternoon, when they were fighting for the USS Zeppelin, it was Li Ling's sudden appearance that made everything come to a conclusion!
What's more, just two days after that incident, the two of them were awarded the German marshal's cane at the same time, and this matter obviously has an absolute relationship with Li Ling, and the two of them can be regarded as a kind of retribution!
In the face of everyone's opinions, Hess could no longer insist on his own opinions, and could only reluctantly agree to let Ribbentrop take Li Ling to Moscow!
