The mustache was sitting in his office, nervously awaiting the good news from the German Foreign Minister.

Putting troops in the Rhineland Demilitarized Zone is a bold decision, and it may even provoke a super-war for it.

Even though the mustache was crazy, he didn't completely lose his mind at this time. However, there are still such crazy actions in the face of sanity, which also confirms that the mustache, who is completely in a state of madness, will make even more daring and shocking decisions.

About half an hour later, the German Foreign Minister personally came to the German government to report to the mustache and said that the British and French diplomatic ambassadors were already sending a message to their homeland.

The mustache nodded, and for now things were still within his expectations.

After thinking for a while, the mustache instructed his foreign minister: "Invite the domestic and foreign media to the Congress, and I will give an impromptu speech." ”

A little later in the Reichstag.

Surrounded by many domestic and foreign media, under the gaze of many parliamentarians, and under the attention of many curious Germans around him, the mustache began his inspiring speech.

"Gentlemen, ladies, all great and glorious compatriots of the Germanic peoples! In my capacity as Chancellor of the German Empire, I would like to announce to you a great piece of good news:

The alliance between France and Austria severely persecuted German industrial production, and we had to defend ourselves against the Franco-Austrian alliance as well as the threat from Russia.

For the sake of the interests of all Germans, three hours ago I ordered the troops to be stationed in the Rhineland Demilitarized Zone, formally abolishing the demilitarized zone.

From then on, the German people were free to walk in any sovereign territory of Germany, and the German army was resolute.

The German Government will never give up any of the sovereignty that we should have, nor will it allow any country to provoke the sovereignty of our national territory.

If the enemy wants to restore the demilitarized zone, then let them step over my corpse! I am confident that the German army will be able to maintain the security of our national territory, even if we have to fight to the last man. ”

Mustache's speech was calm and firm, revealing everywhere his attitude towards the abolition of the Demilitarized Zone, even at the expense of war with Britain and France.

Such a resolute attitude also affected the members of the German parliament and the German people, and there is no doubt that it was a quite successful speech.

Although the mustache betrayed his heart with a slight tremble, such a move was caused by the moustache's over-excitement in the eyes of many media and the public.

I have to admit that the mustache at this time, with a hint of reason in his madness, not only has the psychology of being greedy and crazy like a gambler, but also has an extraordinary sense of international politics.

Before this operation, the commander-in-chief of the German army, Varner von Flitsch, had advised the mustache. General Varner von Flitsch argues that although the German army has expanded to 400,000, only the original 150,000 troops are truly capable of fighting.

It is irrational to intensify the contradictions with Britain and France at this time, and the current German army is clearly no match for the French army.

Varner von Flitsch proposed that the German army be given another year of training. By 1935, the German army would be able to enter the Rhineland demilitarized zone without caring about the faces of Britain and France.

Although such an offer seemed very appropriate, the mustache rejected Varner von Flitsch's offer.

He decided to take a big gamble. If the abolition of the demilitarized zone is successful, the mustache will immediately become one of the greatest heads of government in German history, and he will completely and firmly control the military and government of Germany.

But if it failed, the German army could only withdraw in disgrace. Under such circumstances, such an action, which was highly anticipated by the German people, would be the beginning of an impact on the prestige of the mustache and the stability of the regime.

To put it simply, the strength of Germany is directly linked to the outcome of this abolition of the Demilitarized Zone.

In order to ensure the success of the operation, the mustache can be regarded as paying a lot of money.

In the face of Italy, Germany's only ally at present, Mustache resorted to everything possible to seek Italy's consent, so that Italy would stand up for Germany when the German diplomatic department took a stand.

With the support of Italy, Britain and France, who were already undecided, were even more hesitant.

Although Britain and France did not want to see Germany abolish the TRailland Demilitarized Zone, it would be even more unwilling to see a war start for it.

What's more, the enemies faced in this war were the two great powers, Germany and Italy.

Without seriously affecting themselves, the British would not allow themselves to be in a state of passive war for the benefit of the French.

With the Franco-Austrian alliance and the German-Italian Entente evenly matched, the British made a decision that they would regret in the future, and that was to let the Germans act for the time being.

The British Prime Minister at this time was MacDonald. In Prime Minister MacDonald's final report to George V, Prime Minister Macdonald said: "It may be an unsolved mystery whether to gain the German power of the Rhineland or France after the great expansion."

But for the current British Empire, France was a much higher threat than Germany. The strength of the Germans lies in the fact that they want to seek revenge on the French, and the strength of the French lies in the fact that they want to provoke the majesty of the British Empire in Europe. ”

From the time the British became the world hegemon, their international foreign policy was basically only two parts.

The first part is the well-known regional balance policy. That is to say, there cannot be only one strong country in a region, but two relatively balanced countries to be involved.

The second part is the British Empire's policy of helping three and attacking two. To put it simply, the basic meaning of this part of foreign policy is to win over the world's third and target the world's second.

The British took a neutral approach to this operation, which was definitely the result that Germany wanted to see the most.

As long as the British would not support France, there would be no way for France to start a war with Germany.

After all, the French are not stupid either. Even if France could succeed in defeating Germany, France would never be an opponent of the British after the war.

It was with this in mind that the French did not react excessively on the diplomatic front, but simply repatriated all the troops in control of the Mandate Republic and continued to deploy to the Franco-German border.

As a result, more than 300,000 of France's 600,000 troops have been deployed on the Franco-German border.

In addition to the more than 100,000 recruits and more than 100,000 troops stationed on the border, there are less than 100,000 troops available for mobilization.

The fact that most of the troops that could be mobilized on the Franco-German border proved that the French were afraid and attached great importance to Germany at this time.

Although the diplomatic crisis was resolved peacefully, the impact on the political situation in Europe was enormous.

The successive compromises between Britain and France with Germany have forced many small and medium-sized European countries to face up to Germany, a power that has abolished any restrictions.

If Germany was only a struggling industrial power, then Germany has become a great power through and through, and is moving towards the strongest ladder.

The most wary country for Germany at this time was the Republic of Poland, Germany's eastern neighbor, which was born after World War I.

If Germany can openly abolish the treaty Rhineland Demilitarized Zone, will it recover all of East Prussia?

You know, Poland was once divided by Germany and Russia, and it was only re-established after World War I.

Poland annexed many German territories as soon as it was founded, and there were still a large number of Germans in Poland at this time.

In the face of the frenzied German army, even the mighty Britain and France had to temporarily avoid the edge. Will Poland, having offended Germany, be able to preserve itself in such a European situation?

The answer is already obvious, it is simply impossible.

Historically, Germany's first step in expansion was supposed to be the Sudetenland in Czechoslovakia.

But the problem was that Czechoslovakia at this time was subordinate to the Austrian Empire, and the Austrian Empire was allied with France, and Germany's goal could not be the Austrian Empire anytime soon.

And the countries to the west of Germany, apart from France, are only the three Low Countries.

Of the three Low Countries, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, and Belgium had already declared neutrality, and Germany could not afford to give away a voice for no reason until it had enough casus belli.

Looking closely at the surrounding neighbors, Poland is the only country that can satisfy the mustache's appetite and has enough pretext for a declaration of bell.

In particular, the free city of Danzig, which had been divided by Germany, was controlled by Poland, which was simply the best excuse for attack.

However, compared to the Rhineland, Germany was not sure that Britain and France would allow Poland to fall.

In order to be able to annex Poland smoothly, Germany had to find a reliable and reliable collaborator with sufficient strength, as it had done in the partition of Poland decades earlier.

Poland's geographical location to the east has resulted in far fewer potential targets for collaborators.

Italy, an ally of Germany, had no idea about Poland, after all, Italy and Poland were separated by the entire Austrian Empire.

Judging from the map, the only one who can carve up Poland with Germany may be Russia, which has also carved up Poland with Germany before.

After the reunification of the Russians, they have so far kept a very low profile.

They also fulfilled their promises to Britain and France and did not take the initiative to spread their ideology to the West.

The mustache was not sure if he would be able to move Russia to join him, even if the two countries divided the vast Poland.

But in any case, action is definitely going to take action. Even if the Russians did not agree to the partition of Poland, Poland and Germany were destined for a war.

The mustache, who was thinking about the plan, flashed a hint of excitement in his eyes. He waved his hand and called his henchmen.
