Chapter 196 Recovering the Rhineland

When Hessman, Raidel and Natalie returned to the German Embassy, ​​Ambassador Schulenberg and Hessman's wife Chloe were meeting... ≦... ≦

"Ludwig, who is here?" Chloe pulled a woman about sixty years old but still dressed very well to her husband.

"Alexandra Mikhailovna!" The visitor was Mrs. Corente, an old acquaintance of the Hessman and his wife. Hessman hugged her and asked, "I heard that you became the Minister to Sweden. Are you here to meet your old friends when you return to Moscow?"

Of course it is impossible! Hessman knew the answer when he asked. The Soviet Union was not a capitalist country without any rules. An ambassador stationed abroad was under much discipline. How could he take advantage of the opportunity to return to China to report his duties without approval from the organization and meet with senior foreign military officials in foreign embassies without approval?

"Ludwig, you are all lieutenant generals, and you still love to joke so much." Corente, who was about to become an old lady, shook hands with Natalie Lesinskaya, who betrayed the revolution, and Redel, "an old friend of the Soviet people."

Then he pulled Hessmann to sit down in the living room of the German Embassy, ​​and looked at the German Ambassador with a very serious look.

"Earl, I want to go to Albat Street to see the gallery there." Chloe immediately understood what Mrs. Curente meant, stood up and pulled the German ambassador, who was once her boss in the German Foreign Ministry, and left the room.

"Oh, Chloe is really understanding." Old grandma Corentai smiled and looked at Admiral Radell again.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Hessman did not mean to send Redel out. This admiral was also an important figure in the "Schletcher Hessman Group". Otherwise, he would not have been the commander-in-chief of the German Navy.

"We are going to sign a non-aggression treaty with France," said Corente. "It was proposed by Edward Herrio, who is about to come to power and become prime minister. We will agree to this request in June this year. Then we will send Livinov to Paris to sign the treaty and discuss with the French the Soviet Union's accession to the League of Nations."

This is indeed a great event! During the 1920s, Germany played the "Soviet card" more than once when facing France, Belgium and Poland. It was the Soviet-German cooperation that made the German enemy dare not act rashly when Germany was extremely weak.

After Hitler came to power, there was obvious problem with Soviet-German relations. Outsiders may not be able to detect the contradictions caused by the National Socialist International. However, when the "Poland-France-Czechoslovakia Declaration" was broken up, it also caused rifts between the Soviet-Germany. Similarly, the Polish-France relations also became cold because of this declaration.

The relationship between the Soviet Union and Germany and Poland and France cooled down at the same time, which created favorable conditions for France and the Soviet Union to improve its relationship. After the Polish-Farge alliance broke up, France theoretically had no obligation to join the war when Poland was invaded by the Soviet Union. This cleared the obstacles for France and the Soviet Union to sign a non-aggression treaty.

The signing of the non-aggression treaty between France and Russia will make Germany unable to play the Soviet card when it has a dispute with France.

Moreover, Colente also mentioned the Soviet Union's accession to the League of Nations. This was obviously a condition of exchange for the signing of a non-aggression treaty between the Soviet Union and France... It is very likely that this condition was also recognized by the United Kingdom.

Adolf Hitler's pro-British anti-Soviet policy did not seem to have gained friendship with Britain, but instead gave Britain and France the opportunity to win over the Soviet Union's red road roller to restrain Germany.

However, Stalin obviously did not want to break with Germany. Compared with the international status given by Britain and France and the recognition of what Stalin got from Soviet-German cooperation, it was more affordable. Therefore, Mrs. Curente was recalled from Sweden and now appeared in front of Hessman.

"Ludwig," Mrs. Curente looked at Hessmann, who seemed to be in deep thought, "The contract will be signed in June, and now there is not much time left for you to solve the Rhine problem... and the French right-hand government will resign in a few days. Edward Herrio, the radical socialist party, will form a cabinet. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

Stalin was quite a friend, and even helped the Germans find the most suitable mobile phone. The right-right Prime Minister Andre Tardieu, who followed the Clemenceau route, lost a key election because of the depression. He would bow and leave in a few days. The successor was Edward Herrio, the disciple of "Holy Virgin" Berian.

"The Virgin of White Left" is of course easier to bully. It is impossible to fight because the German army entered the Rhine Demilitarized Zone. Moreover, Germany has now been armed, and Poland has signed a declaration of non-aggression with Germany, and the "France-German Treaty of Non-aggression" has not been finalized.

However, those French "Wild Left Madonna" would not be indifferent to Germany's re-control of the Rhineland. They would definitely get closer to the Soviet Union in an attempt to piece together an alliance against Germany.

This continued move by France and the Soviet Union was obviously very beneficial to Soviet diplomacy.

...

"We must send the army into the Rhine!" After learning that France and the Soviet Union were about to sign a non-aggression treaty, Hessman immediately took a plane back to Berlin. After getting off the plane, he drove directly to the Prime Minister's House on William Street.

"With France and the Summers not yet signed a treaty, we can control Germany's most important industrial zone without risk." Hessmann made a loud suggestion at an urgent secret cabinet meeting. "Although the actions in the Rhineland not only completely tore up the Treaty of Versailles, but also undermine the Final Agreement of Locarno, I believe that Britain and Italy will never take any action."

The Final Agreement of Locarno, also known as the Rhine Security Convention, requires Germany to comply with the provisions of the Treaty of Versailles on demilitarization of the Rhine region. Britain and Italy act as guarantee countries. However, in the years after the signing of the agreement, relations between Germany and Italy improved rapidly. Now Mussolini will never stand out for the French because of the Rhine issue.

Not long ago, Britain got satisfactory results from the Germans on the issue of naval arms control, and most of them would not be extremely financially difficult at the moment. The British pound was depreciating significantly and the British finally couldn't stand it. When they gave up the gold standard in the second half of 1931, they chose to use force with Germany.

Hitler took over the topic and suppressed his excitement. He said in the smoothest tone possible: "We now have an army of up to 900,000 people and signed the Declaration of Non-aggression with Poland. Once our fortifications in the Rhineland are completed, the Central and European countries will understand that Germany has completely escaped the constraints of the Treaty of Versailles, and then all these countries will completely change their attitudes in diplomacy, and even their domestic politics will change in favor of Germany."

He is obviously unwilling to give up the opportunity. It seems risk-free to enter the Rhine Zone and will also enhance his prestige. In the past year or more, due to the improvement of economic problems, the prestige of the government has also greatly improved.

So Hitler is planning to complete the merger with the Republic of Polo at the end of this year or early next year, and then hold another general election if it goes well, the joint Nazi Party and the Manchukuo Party (will merge with the German National Party of Polo) will achieve an overwhelming victory. Not only can you control the parliament of the German Empire, but you can also control the parliament of the states.

Subsequently, the Nazi Party and the BJP were able to amend the Weimar Constitution, significantly weakening the autonomy of the states and turning them into local administrative regions controlled by the German Empire government.

After completing the control of the local area, Hitler also planned to pass the "National Transformation Justice Regulations" in parliament, which will investigate the revolution that took place in Germany between November 1918 and February 1919. In fact, this is a bill tailor-made for the Social Democratic Party.

The result of the investigation is of course that the Social Democratic Party was banned due to a large number of illegal and treasonous acts!

At this critical moment, Hitler certainly hopes that the Rhineland issue can become a highlight of a big plus.

In addition, Germany's regaining of all the sovereignty of Rhineland can greatly enhance the prestige of national socialism in Europe and even the world, which is very beneficial to the international export of national socialist values ​​and the use of conscious x-morphology to win over allies.

"General Schletcher!" Hitler immediately called out the name of Secretary of Defense Schletcher.

"His Excellency Prime Minister." Schletcher nodded.

"I ordered the Ministry of Defense to immediately formulate a plan to enter the Rhine Zone and arrange a defense in the Rhine Zone." Hitler paused for a moment, "It would be better to come up with the plan tomorrow... and then I will immediately ask the President to approve the implementation of the plan."

This is a Hitler without military power... At least until President Hindenburg and Vice President Rudendolf passed away, he had no chance to get involved in the army.

"Okay, Mr. Prime Minister," Schletcher said, "The Defense Forces have already made plans... After receiving the president's order, we will complete control of the Rhineland region on May 11 (the second day after the French left-handed government came to power).

"Very good!" Hitler seemed very satisfied and a little excited. "So how many troops do you plan to use to reclaim the Rhineland region?"

"Mr. Prime Minister," Hessman took over the issue. He led the plan for the army to enter the Rhineland area, and according to Schletcher's deployment, he will also be responsible for the implementation. "We will use 19 infantry battalions and 13 artillery companies, a total of about 30,000 people to control the entire Rhineland area."

"What?" Hitler seemed to be shocked, "Only 30,000 people were used? If the French also marched into the Rhineland, would these people be enough?"
