During this time, Mr. Mussolini was very popular. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Germany constantly put pressure on Poland to make territorial claims to the construction of a high-speed passage to the free city of Danzig, on both sides of which the Germans enjoyed extraterritoriality.

However, Poland was endorsed by Britain, France and Germany, and it was very tough on Germany, not giving an inch, and could not concede.

Czechoslovakia did concede, but the whole territory was annexed, and of course the Czechoslovakians did not want to concede, and it was the British and French who let them concede.

This time, Britain and France have also learned to be obedient, and you can't indulge in dealing with Adolf's goods, you have to smoke when you should smoke, maybe you can be honest when you smoke it.

Britain and France already regarded Germany as an enemy sooner or later, and Italy became important, because Italy had a navy that was not weak, and Italy and Germany were allies, and if Italy stood with Germany, it would pose a great threat to Britain and France.

Moreover, Italy has a criminal record, even if they are allies with Germany, they may not help Germany, wasn't that the case during the First World War.

Of course, if the British knew that they had not fulfilled their promises to Italy in the First World War, and that their credit would no longer be of great use to the Italians, I wonder if their efforts would have been in vain.

The Germans were also actively courting Italy, Adolf was more generous than the British, and the British promised to cede some African colonies to Italy during the First World War, but after the war they felt that Italy's contribution was too small, and only gave a few Austrian ports, which made Italy very dissatisfied.

The Nazis were much more generous, saying that the whole of North Africa could be given to Italy. But Mussolini inherited the usual shrewdness of the Italians, he chose to wait and see, no one gave a letter, and waited for the two sides to raise the price, so that he was very addicted to the core of Europe, the last time he was so proud, it was the Austrian crisis, when Adolf had just come to power, and took back the Rhineland from France through military adventures, and then began to show ambitions to Austria, instructing the Austrian fascist thugs to assassinate the Austrian president, intending to annex Austria, At that time, Mussolini directly sent 20 divisions to the Italian border, which frightened the Nazis at that time, and let Adolf obediently visit him the next year, during which he flattered him in various ways.

But after the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War, Britain, France and Germany all saw the cowardice of the Italian soldiers, Germany ignored Italy, and directly sent troops to swallow Austria, and then started the Munich conspiracy, expanding again and again, Mussolini can only be a foil, which makes him extremely disappointed, and finally wait until these guys ask for themselves, Mussolini can really enjoy this kind of completely favored good time.

Only the Chinese kept fighting lawsuits with Mussolini, and the goods still owed the $100 million, and Yangzi Bank sued Mussolini in Britain, France and Germany, respectively, demanding that the three countries seize Mussolini's or Italy's assets to force repayment of China's debts, and stop importing Italian oil until the Italians are willing to pay back.

I really don't know why Mussolini owes the debt, isn't it 100 million US dollars, they have expanded the scale of Libyan oil production to 30 million barrels per year, I heard that the Germans have provided a considerable amount of equipment, he has hardly invested a penny, but he still pays the debt.

Of course, Britain and France could not seize Mussolini's assets, and Germany could not stop importing oil as a strategic resource, Mussolini had nothing to fear, but the Germans could not have nothing to fear, and if Italy annoyed China, would it cause it to fly and would it affect Germany's oil security.

So soon the account was settled, because Adolf gave Mussolini 100 million US dollars and asked him to repay the information, not because Adolf was generous, but because Italy was too important to Germany at this time, not how strong Italy was, but the Libyan oil fields in the hands of Italy, which allowed Germany's mechanized army to completely get rid of the shackles of oil and show their steel power unscrupulously.

It was the end of August, and the day after the Italians had paid back the money, a group of German soldiers in Polish uniforms broke into Polish territory, occupied the radio station in the border town, and issued a declaration of attacking Germany.

The next day Adolf declared that Germany had been invaded and was forced to return fire, and before he could speak, the Wehrmacht had already stepped into Polish territory.

World War II broke out.

The Germans invaded Poland, Britain and France declared war on Germany, and the French urgently mobilized soldiers to station on the Maginot Line, and at the same time urgently urged the British to mobilize immediately and send the army into France as soon as possible.

The British were struggling, and the first troops were sent not to France, but to Portugal.

Few people know that since the Napoleonic Wars, the small country of Portugal has been a special ally of Great Britain, and has since followed in the footsteps of the British Empire.

The British entered Portugal for the simple purpose of attacking Franco from Portugal.

Portugal had been on Franco's side during the Spanish Civil War, with 8,000 Portuguese soldiers fighting with him, while allowing Franco to use Portuguese ports to transport supplies and troops, fearing that the Spanish GCists would overthrow the Kingdom of Portugal.

But as soon as the British boss said hello, the Portuguese immediately recalled these soldiers, and immediately blocked the coastline, actively preparing to turn their guns and beat Franco together with the British boss.

The only reason why Britain attaches so much importance to Spain is that this country is stuck in the throat of the entrance to the Mediterranean, and Britain can control the Suez Canal in Egypt on the one hand, and the Strait of Gibraltar near Spain on the other, and at the very least, it can block the Italian navy in the Mediterranean in this bathtub.

Although Italy had not yet entered the war, and despite their history of betrayal, the British Empire did not want to take this risk, and the British liked to take the initiative.

So 30,000 British troops entered Spain from Portugal and launched an attack on Franco's army, and on the other side, France also attacked from the Franco-Spanish border and joined up with the Spanish government forces who were in a bitter battle here.

Franco's army, mainly the Spanish regular army in the past, is not weak in combat effectiveness, plus the civil war that has been fought for three or four years, it is the strongest time, just imagine the confrontation between the Chinese volunteers and the United States to know the combat effectiveness of this kind of veterans killed in the sea of corpses and blood.

The Anglo-French army soon fell into a bitter battle, fighting with Franco's army city by city, street by street, and suffering extremely heavy casualties.

At this moment, the Polish cavalry, waving their sabers, rushed towards the Nazi tank corps.

The world war was in full swing in Europe, from the westernmost part of the Iberian Peninsula to the eastern part of the Bode Plain. (To be continued.) )
