The pathos of France is inextricably linked to the ruthlessness of England. At the beginning, the British tried every means to release water on the Treaty of Versailles, an old rival of Germany, so that Germany established a strong SS army under the nose of the League of Nations. At a time when Germany was in economic difficulties, it provided loans to Germany in a timely manner, and the amount was even far greater than the amount of Germany's reparations.

From what Britain did, it is difficult to see that this is an ally that once fought alongside France. The French people could not even believe that their allies, who had previously been squatting in the same trenches, could turn their faces in such a short period of time.

It doesn't matter if it's selfish or shameless. As a British government, the first thing that comes to mind is the interests of its own country.

In the last war, Britain had already paid enough!

Britain paid an exorbitant price for victory in World War I. The sacrifice of more than 1.1 million British and colonial people, unprecedented in British history. This tremendous sacrifice prompted the whole of Britain to reflect on the value of the First World War.

Britain, which participated in World War I, went from a pre-war creditor to a post-war debtor. The international financial center shifted from London in the United Kingdom to New York in the United States, and the control of the empire over the colonies was greatly reduced. The Indian unrest that began in 1919 and the Irish independence movement in 1920 were even serious enough to interfere with the planning of British military strategy.

Another consequence of World War I was that the United States became the first power in the Americas and France the first power on the European continent while the sun never set on the weakening of the British Empire. Lost soldiers and made a dowry for others! This is a lingering remorse in the hearts of the British.

The huge casualties, combined with the memories of the past, led the British government to the paradoxical conclusion that Britain had never been so involved in a war in Europe, not even in the Napoleonic Wars! However, Britain sat on the throne of the empire on which the sun never sets.

Therefore, they believe that Britain should return to the previous policy of "continental balance of power" that relied on straits and limited intervention, and adopt a more conservative security strategy.

As a result, Britain, which had just shared the hardships with France, turned around and became a good friend of Germany. Sit back and watch Germany strengthen its armament on the road, watch the defeat of the French Ruhr, and ignore or even condone Germany's foolish reparations to France.

Is Britain heartless? This is not an accurate description, at least because the British government is very responsible to its own people. If you want to say ruthlessness, you can only say that you are ruthless to the current France.

At this moment, in a white building in London, England, a group of parliamentarians are surrounding a small health minister to talk about ideas.

This seemingly low-ranking health minister is in fact Chamberlain, the leader of the Conservative Party in the British Empire!

"Mr. Chamberlain, France has recently shifted its military focus to the construction of the Maginot Line." A tall and chubby congressman greeted him and said: "This is a manifestation of the French government's abandonment of offensive ideas, and we may be able to appropriately reduce the covert suppression of France." ”

"That's right, now it seems that France will not compete for continental supremacy, and we don't need to feed the German hound." Smith, who is already the deputy secretary of defense, also elaborated his views.

Then, the British high-level people present nodded in agreement. In their view, the British government's purpose in strengthening the German Army was to prevent France from becoming the hegemon of the European continent. Now that the French had built fortifications in peace, there was no need to loosen the reins of restrictions on Germany.

However, Chamberlain, who was regarded by everyone as a leader, said lightly: "No, the reins of Germany cannot be tightened. ”

Why!? The eyes of almost every high-level executive present were full of incredulity.

Without making many high-level officials wait too long, Chamberlain smiled slightly: "The number of German army troops, even with their so-called SS, will not exceed 300,000." This is not even a third of Poland's strength, and it is impossible to contain France. ”

After listening to Chamberlain's words, many parliamentarians nodded thoughtfully. Even if Germany had the idea of attacking, they would not be able to show the corresponding strength.

Seeing that there was no objection, Chamberlain went on to conclude: "Britain's foreign policy for four hundred years has been to oppose the emergence of the largest, strongest and most hegemonic countries on the continent, and Britain has always joined the less powerful side, uniting with them to defeat and defeat the military hegemon on the continent, no matter who he is, no matter which country he rules." ”

Long-distance and close attack, close to the strong, close to the weak, support the weak and suppress the strong. There is no conflict of feelings, beliefs, ideas. What Britain wants is to let the number one place on the European continent always be suppressed.

"Gentlemen, Germany is not being helped because of the friendship between the two countries, or even for the sake of co-opting one more ally. Our goal is simply to avoid a monopoly on the European continent. Even the most powerful country, France, with which we have a traditional friendship, cannot tolerate it. Without hesitation, Chamberlain resolutely stated his position.

This is Chamberlain, an honest politician. He never hid his opinions, and dared to say what many people thought in their hearts, but did not dare to say. Even his political opponents had to admit that Chamberlain had the qualities of honesty that many politicians possess.

In the end, the meeting ended with a sentence left by Chamberlain: "Are we heartless?" This may indeed be true for France. But remember, this is British politics...... This is the politician who belongs to Britain! ”

Until everyone was sent away, Chamberlain, an honest politician, still had some of his thoughts that he did not confess to everyone.

Chamberlain did this not out of selfishness, but because the idea, once spoken, was likely to scare everyone. Chamberlain feared that someone would not be able to bear it and leak out.

That's right, the idea is called "Misfortune". What is Germany, and what is France? Compared with the terrifying country in the East, it is nothing more than ants.

Chamberlain saw very clearly that the country called the Soviet Union in the East did not give up for a moment the export revolution to the world, especially to Europe. One day in the future, when a torrent of red will flood the European continent, Germany, France, and even Britain will not be able to resist it alone.

And Britain, which has the English Channel as a barrier, wants to make the final word and liberate the European continent occupied by the Soviet Union. It is necessary to let the "great powers" such as Germany and France consume the power of the Soviet Union as much as possible.

For this reason, the British government even tried to make Poland a great power. Together with France, a large number of military advisers were sent to Poland to transport advanced equipment.

France's aim was to create a hound to keep Germany at bay, while Britain's aim was to create a watchdog to defend the continent against the Soviet Union.

The empire on which the sun never sets, even tried every means to prevent a new country. It may seem comic, but it's the status quo that Britain has to face!

Why does the sun never set on the empire, and it is necessary to find ways to play with the balance of power on the European continent and balance the strength of all parties. Chamberlain knew very well that the glorious empire on which the sun never set was far from being as powerful as it seemed!

With the largest colony in the world, its territory remains forever under the rays of the sun. "The sun never sets on the empire", this is an honor and a burden!

The Commonwealth has a standing army of more than a million, and Britain has the largest fleet in the world. But all of this is scattered all over the world. Today, the British mainland army has a total of only 200,000 people, which is only one-fifth of France!

Chamberlain felt a headache when he thought of the assessment made by the British General Staff that the Soviet Union had no less than 8 million Red Army......
