"If your government does not intervene in the war in Europe, then we will consider avoiding an invasion of your country. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

This is a domineering negotiating declaration, but there is a premise that your country must be very strong, strong to the point of Germany or the Soviet Union or Britain and France, and your opponent must not be a very strong country.

However, at this point, the phrase turned into a joke!

Mussolini, the dictator of Italy, is threatening the President of the United States!

This is simply a ridiculous joke.

Let's not talk about the ambiguity between Germany and the United States. The secret connection is just the simplest comparison of strength, and Mussolini should not have said such words, I really don't know what gave him so much courage.

"Mussolini, is he a fool?"

This is what Heydrich said the most after getting the news, his side is trying to maintain relations with the United States, and his allies over there are even running to threaten the United States, if it weren't for the Americans who came to tell Mussolini in Germany with that somewhat ridiculous attitude, Heydrich really didn't know how to maintain this relationship with the United States.

Success is not enough and failure is more than failure, this is Heydrich's direct evaluation of Mussolini after this experience.

As a Commonwealth country and one of the most powerful countries in the world, in the face of the United States, Heydrich was too late to fight, and he didn't expect Mussolini to run to threaten.

As one of only two Commonwealth countries in the world that did not declare war on Germany after Britain declared war on Germany, the Irish government was not idle, and Irish Prime Minister Aemonn de Valera traveled to the United States several times to seek that the United States could give Ireland security guarantees and maintain its neutral status.

Ireland had always feared the threat from Germany, but they were equally reluctant to fight with the British, and they even rejected the idea of the Royal Navy convoy using its harbor as a base, but neutrality in such a crowded situation was almost a fantasy.

On April 28, the German government began to inform its main allies, Italy, Spain, the Soviet Union, Romania, and the United States, that war would break out any day after May 1, and that Germany would launch an all-out attack on France and its allies!

On 29 April, the German government issued an ultimatum to the Netherlands and Belgium, demanding that the two countries quickly state their positions, and if they continued to insist on siding with the French, then the German army would attack them.

The attitude of the Germans had already indicated that they were about to launch an all-out war against France, and this time was in line with the top-secret plans of the German army that the French had previously gotten 'Yellow. The scheduled launch of the color scheme was very close to each other, so, at this point, the French had no need to doubt at all that Germany was finally going to make a move.

Almost on the same day, a senior member of commons named Leo Emery in the British House of Commons pointed at Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain's nose in public, quoting a political quote from 200 years ago to insult Chamberlain's inaction and serious policy mistakes.

'You've been sitting here for too long, you're never going to do anything good again.' I said, go away! Let us be at odds with you from now on. For God's face, go! ’

In just a few months, Britain lost first Czechoslovakia, then Poland, Finland, then Norway and Denmark, and was powerless to prevent the rise of the Germans, and Chamberlain was still trying to solve the problem by peaceful means.

Chamberlain's weak attitude had completely caused him to lose the trust of the cabinet members, and on this day, the British Parliament passed a motion of no confidence in Chamberlain, and the British royal family appointed Churchill as wartime prime minister and formed a new wartime cabinet.

Churchill's ascension to office can be said to have received strong support from the British immediately, because no one in Britain does not know that this gentleman who looks like a big belly but is gentle and elegant, he is an absolute war maniac, and only he can make Britain turn its tide!

In fact, Churchill did just that!

When Churchill came to power, he immediately began to issue a decree that Britain should enter a state of war in full swing, implement a rationing system for all necessities of life, and begin to collect a large amount of war taxes.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir John Simon, began to introduce a series of policies to increase taxes under the direction of Churchill, increasing income tax and surcharges, raising postal and telephone charges, and increasing taxes on tobacco, beer, matches, and sugar!

The fact that taxes are increasing so rapidly and that they involve all aspects of life naturally causes dissatisfaction among some people, and John Simon explains that this is to control the national expenses, and now that it is a state of war, it is necessary to reduce the daily expenses of the people and give priority to ensuring the supply of the army. And if the war ended, the British government would not let go of the speculators who took advantage of the loopholes in the policy to amass huge war fortunes.

On April 30, the Dutch government, knowing that war could no longer be avoided, announced a nationwide war mobilization to prepare for a possible German invasion.

On the same day, the Belgian government declared a state of emergency throughout the country, and the army moved to combat readiness.

As far away as Berlin, on an ordinary Tuesday, April 30, there seemed to be no change in any government or military department other than the clamor coming from the German High Command. But in other places outside of Berlin, troops were already mobilized at this time, and they were entering the position of launching the attack that had been formulated before the battle according to the battle plan, including of course, the first regiment directly under Li Ling!

For the coming war, in fact, Germany has already made all the preparations, including the early reorganization and reorganization of the troops, and the targeted military training according to the corresponding combat missions.
