Czechoslovakia was a state that emerged after the First World War, and both Britain and France were responsible for the security of the country, and they were required to guarantee the integrity and independence of Czechoslovakia, which was an obligation under the treaty.

But Britain and France did not want to bear this obligation, and the old gentleman Chamberlain and the French Prime Minister Daladier had reached an agreement, that is, they would never go to war with Germany for the sake of the Czech Republic, so the old man took a plane and made a special trip to Berlin to negotiate with Hitler.

China has been paying close attention to the situation in Europe, according to the original historical track, the real beginning of World War II was in the Far East, Japan launched a full-scale war of aggression against China, and now China is becoming more and more powerful, although Japan annexed the Dutch East Indies, but also did not have the courage to start a war with China.

The task of opening the prelude to this world war will probably fall on Germany, and any change in the situation in Europe will touch the sensitive nerves of China's top leaders, and when Hitler formally raised the question of the Sudetenland, Jiang Baili and others already understood that Germany's road to expansion was irreversible.

"Great President, Czechoslovakia is located in the heart of Europe, its strategic value is unparalleled, and its military industrial base is strong, and if Germany takes control of Czechoslovakia, its military industrial capacity will at least double. In fact, from the current industrial level of Britain and France compared with Germany, there is still a certain advantage, Germany is far from ready, if Czechoslovakia is annexed, Britain and France want to stop it will be too late! ”

"Brother Baili, do you think they will use force to stop it?"

Jiang Baili smiled bitterly and shook his head: "To be honest, I don't understand what that old guy Chamberlain is thinking now, it's understandable to retreat, but I have never seen such unprincipled concessions, pushing one country after another into the arms of Germany, constantly giving up the opportunity to contain Germany, and the same is true for France, putting all its efforts on repairing the turtle shell, and I even suspect that the leaders of these two countries have been bought by Hitler." There they are. Germany's path to expansion is a green light.

This time I estimate that Czechoslovakia will also be finished, judging from Chamberlain's actions, most of them are more than lucky, otherwise Britain would not have gotten on the pole and run to Germany, and Chamberlain's body and bones sat on the plane for more than seven hours, and it was difficult for him! ”

This period of history seemed a little inexplicable to later generations, and Britain and France completely abandoned their own ethics. shattered the ground, constantly sent allies and helpers to Hitler's mouth, so that Germany was assured of bold annexation, this kind of spirit of raising tigers for trouble is simply rare in the world.

Later generations collectively referred to these actions as the policy of appeasement, but in Qiao Yu's view. Although Britain and France were cowardly, they also had bad water in their stomachs, and most of what they did was to kill Germany, one of the main purposes was to lead Germany to attack the Soviet Union, and the other purpose was to passively put pressure on the United States.

Look at the Americans, Germany is already so strong, don't you take action to support us!

If the script is still played out according to the First World War, it will actually be very beneficial to Britain and France. It can promote the early entry of the United States into the fight. It can also make the fight between the Soviet Union and Germany more intense, so that Britain and France do not have to rush to the forefront like in World War I. After all, the war brought them too painful memories.

However, no matter how much the wishful thinking in the hearts of Britain and France is played, the pattern of war has changed, and if they want to replicate the process of World War I, it can only be a fool's dream, and they will inevitably shoot themselves in the foot.

After some thought, Qiao Yu introduced the National Service Law, although China has adopted a compulsory military service system in the past, and must serve in the military when it reaches the legal age, but there are too many Chinese, and there is no need to recruit like ordinary small countries.

In particular, in recent years, the economic level has improved, the food has become better and better, the physical fitness of the soldiers has become higher and higher, China's recruitment standards have also been continuously improved, and the overall quality of the soldiers has been continuously improved, so that all the officers are extremely happy.

However, in order to deal with a world-class war, China must be prepared, and soldiers must undergo a certain amount of training in order to ensure that a large army can be organized as soon as possible, so Qiao Yu promulgated a new military service law.

Citizens between the ages of 18 and 25 are required to undergo three months of military training each year, learn the ranks, basic shooting knowledge, and in addition to that, China has also made a reserve of other talents.

For example, drivers, doctors, professional maintenance technicians, pilots...... None of them can be cultivated quickly, China's foundation is relatively thin, and it must be prepared in advance, and it cannot play like the United States.

Therefore, the new military service law has detailed provisions, and every year the Chinese government will allocate a special fund to subsidize the driver's license of citizens of appropriate age, and these drivers can work in any factory in peacetime, and once the country needs it in wartime, they must obey the state's mobilization orders.

In this way, the trained drivers can be used to the maximum extent in peacetime and wartime, which is a great burden on the country, and it is also a good opportunity for those poor children who do not have the money to learn skills, and other crew members and doctors also take similar methods.

In addition, Qiao Yu expanded the flying clubs in various places, promoted from major cities to the whole country, and designed a number of new training aircraft, pilots are to see talent, so the wider the net, the more fish can be caught, of course, the best should be sent to the naval aviation, slightly worse to the air force, and the rest of the transport aircraft need them, in short, the more such talent reserves, the better.

Another major project is the air defense system in the coastal border areas, which are all areas that may face threats, and it is necessary to build enough air raid shelters, which are not only for the preparation of World War II, but also for a complete air defense system in the future.

Any city has a part above ground, and a part underground, the high-rise buildings on the ground look brilliant, but the underground city is not bad at all, to establish a complete sewer system, these sewers can also undertake air defense missions when necessary, of course, including the subway system, in addition to special air-raid shelters, the main factory area should also focus on protection.

There can be no sloppiness in these works, and just when Qiao Yu was arranging these things, news came in favor of Germany from Europe, and Chamberlain and Daladier once again ruthlessly betrayed Czechoslovakia, and they negotiated in Munich. It was officially decided to assign the Sudetenland region to Germany.

Once again, Hitler won a great victory. The morale of the people up and down Germany is at an all-time high, and looking around, Germany is already looking for the next target!

"The surrender of the Sudetenland by Britain and France to Germany undoubtedly gave the green light to German expansion, and Czechoslovakia would soon fall to all of it, and now that Germany and Italy were fully connected, Hitler and Mussolini were growing stronger. We judged from comprehensive intelligence that Germany's next target was most likely Poland, and it was officially because of Poland's blockade that the connection between Germany's East Prussia and the mainland was destroyed, and Hitler was always concerned about this situation, and it can be said that Poland's fate was in danger! ”

Poland as a country is a tragedy in history. Sandwiched between the belligerent Prussia and Tsarist Russia, the territory was divided several times, and later became a province of Tsarist Russia, and finally waited for more than a hundred years, waiting for the opportunity of World War I, Poland finally became an independent country, but with the rise of Germany, this eye-catching country fell into the sight of Germany again. Poland is already in danger again!

Wu Tong basically agreed with Jiang Baili's judgment. He added: "Great President, Poland is second only to France in power among Germany's neighbors. It is an important link in Eastern Europe, restricting Soviet Russia to the east and Germany to the west, this ally is absolutely unwilling to be lost by Britain and France, but if Germany does not occupy here, there is no way to attack the Soviet Union, to be honest, the British are also in contradiction at this time! ”

Qiao Yuxin said that Britain and France are not contradictory, they invented the most fraudulent sit-down war in human history, and watched in a daze as Germany annexed Poland, and the two old enemies of Germany and the Soviet Union finally faced each other, but the next plot was not staged according to the British and French ideas, and the Germans turned around and swept Western Europe!

"Now Germany has frequently sent us invitations, hoping that China will join the camp of the Axis powers and jointly oppose the Soviet Union, and many people still attach great importance to Germany's proposal!" Jiang Baili told Qiao Yu about the situation.

The soldiers are all belligerent, especially seeing that Germany can easily achieve victory, so that many people are a little red-eyed, especially in the Chinese army There are still many pro-German forces, there is a good foundation for cooperation between the two countries, and now it is logical to form an alliance, even Liu Xiang, Deng Xihou and others also proposed to Qiao Yu to formally form an alliance with Germany.

Of course, not everyone is willing to form an alliance with Germany, the most critical factor is Japan, now Japan and Germany are getting closer and closer, Germany has provided Japan with a number of military technology, Qiao Yu is also very clear about the Germans' calculations, they are hoping to use Japan to balance China, even if the four countries form an alliance in the future, Germany can better manipulate this alliance.

However, there were deep-seated contradictions between China and Japan, and the proximity of Germany and Japan gave the Chinese side a hint of resentment, and the vast majority of generals were unwilling to fight alongside the Japanese.

"Brother Baili, now China's national defense industry is also developing rapidly, and more and more materials are needed, we should properly control the volume of trade with Germany!"

As soon as Qiao Yu's words came out, everyone present still didn't understand, this is Qiao Yu preparing to impose trade restrictions on Germany, it can be said that the rapid expansion of Germany has made China feel a little pressure, although the distance between China and Germany is very far, but China must also take action.

"President, there are still a lot of technical exchanges between China and Germany, and I'm afraid it's not good to reduce them rashly!" Wu Tong asked tentatively, although most of the technology exchanged for the starting point has been digested in China, especially the 10,000-ton die forging press has been established, but China still has a lot of places to rely on Germany, and the more this exchange, the better.

Qiao Yu shook his head slightly: "Now it's time to take sides, if we intersect too much with Germany's interests, we will be suspicious of the United States and Britain, although Roosevelt and I have talked a lot of things, but we still can't rest assured, we will now take this opportunity to show the world an attitude, China does not want to mix with Germany, of course, trade can also be carried out in secret!"
