The night on September 6, 1939 was very uneasy. First, the planes of Britain and Germany launched a fierce air battle over the Netherlands. The battle site was in the air of Hardenberg, Emen, Kufolden, Hochfen and other places in Germany near eastern Netherlands.

Not only were there organ guns and mechanisms shooting at each other in the sky, but there were also a series of falling to the ground, of course, it was Britain. Many bombers were chased by German BF-110s and could only be lost and escaped.

On the land of the Netherlands, many large pits were blown up, a farmhouse was blown up, several farmers and a group of cows were killed. Several landed in the city center of Hochfen, and a fountain with more than 100 years of history. Several planes crashed into the Netherlands, all of which were British Wellington bombers. Of course, there were British pilots who parachuted into the Netherlands.

All this shows that the Netherlands' neutrality has been completely destroyed, and now both Britain and Germany have excuses to infringe on it!

And Berlin was also taken!

Schletcher's guarantee was not fulfilled, and it was very difficult to intercept enemy bombers at night, unless the radar could be installed on the plane. The British 8 squadrons dispersed and moved after approaching Germany. It was precisely because the German radar found that they were going to scatter into Germany that the Air Defense Command decisively ordered the fighter to cross the border. However, 31 Wellington-style medium bombers of three squadrons flew over Berlin and dropped more than 50 tons.

Most of them were left in the Berlin Zoo, killing the only elephant in the zoo, and destroying many cages. Many animals, including several wild wolves and tigers and leopards, took the opportunity to escape, and lost a giant panda given by the Chinese government.

In addition, twenty-two Berlin citizens were killed in the bombing, thirteen were injured, and dozens of houses were damaged to varying degrees.

Anti-aircraft guns deployed in Berlin roared for most of the night, firing tens of thousands of shells into the air, only two Wellington bombers were shot down. Several crew members parachuted and escaped and landed in the city of Berlin. In order to capture them, the SS and the People's Stormtroopers struggled until the afternoon of the next day.

In short, the first bombing in Berlin did not cause much damage. However, it caused quite a lot of chaos, and most of the Berlin citizens were angry. Hitler made a hysterical speech to the people gathered in front of the Prime Minister's Office the next morning, claiming to retaliate and razed London to the ground with bombers!

After falling into the sea, Hitler immediately called Marshal Schletcher to his office and closed the door for a secret discussion.

"Leader, the Air Force can now send up to 38 He-111s, and the Navy has 109 He-111s and 80 Ju88s available. There are a total of 227 aircraft. You can take off from the three major airports of HNA in Wilhelmshaven to bomb London tonight!"

Schletcher also seemed to be angry by the British air strikes on Berlin, and had ordered the Air Force and Navy aviation to prepare bombers.

"Blast London?" Hitler glared at Schletcher fiercely, "It's not the time to consider bombing London! Your bf-110 broke into Dutch airspace last night, engaged in air combat with the British, and shot down many British planes, causing a lot of noise... Now the whole world knows that this is going on!"

The whole world knows that the war has burned into Dutch airspace.

However, there are two versions of the "Dutch Air War Incident" that people of the world know about, one is Gobert's version. The German propaganda minister just held a press conference to accuse British bombers of flying over the airspace of the neutral country of Netherlands, fleeing into Germany, and massacring unarmed civilians and elephants!

Another version is Churchill's version. British Navy Secretary Churchill wrapped in gauze on his head like an Arab told reporters on Whitehall Street: British bombers were driven to Dutch airspace by German fighters... Just as the British pilot was preparing to land at the Dutch airport in accordance with international law and was subject to supervision, the German plane broke into Dutch airspace without saying a word, not only shot down British bombers, but also deployed on Dutch land, hoping to blame the United Kingdom!

Whether Churchill said it was right or Gobert said it was right, one thing is certain that the Neutrality of the Netherlands had been destroyed. The Netherlands was not the United States, and its neutrality was not based on its own strength, but on the recognition of the belligerent countries.

Now that Britain and Germany have invaded Dutch airspace and are still fighting in Dutch airspace, the Netherlands' neutrality no longer exists.

The question now is just when will the Netherlands be officially involved in the war and where will it stand?

Hitler sighed and said, "I sent Ribbintrov to Amsterdam last night, and I didn't ask the Netherlands to join us. I just hope that the Netherlands can delay for 2 weeks... Kurt, do you think if both the Netherlands and Belgium join the war, how long will the French mechanized troops take to reach the German-Dutch border?"

Schletcher thought for a while and said, "I don't know much about the situation of the French. If it were our Germany, the troops would be mobilized in one week at most, and it would take another 3 days to complete the development and launch an attack within 10 days!"

"Today is September 7," Hitler said, "the fastest is September 17?"

"If the Netherlands and Belgium really decide to join the war, we will launch air strikes on bridges and roads in the two countries," Schletcher said. "This will delay the speed of the French advance...it can be delayed by 10 days."

"As early as September 27?"

"Yes." Schletcher nodded, "if the French mechanized forces were as good as ours."

Hitler took a breath, "It depends on Ribbentrop's ability now!"

...

"You first invaded our airspace, and then German planes came to intercept it, right?" Hendricus Clariant, chairman of the Dutch Council of Ministers, was meeting with visiting British Foreign Secretary Viscount Halifax.

Viscount Halifax arrived in Amsterdam earlier than Ribbintrov, who arrived on the afternoon of September 6. He had only one purpose for coming to the Netherlands, which was to persuade the Netherlands to join the Allies to fight against Germany.

Regarding the questioning of the chairman of the Dutch Council of Ministers, Viscount Halifax just smiled slightly: "It doesn't matter who comes first, what matters is who can win!"

He looked at the chairman of the Dutch Council of Ministers with pale faces and full of fear in his eyes and said in a very confident tone: "If you join today, then by the end of September, at least 50 divisions of French and British troops will arrive in eastern Holland. This is a powerful assault force, including two powerful armored divisions, a large number of mechanized and motorized troops! They will flood into Germany like a tide and defeat Germany again in up to one month. In this way, the losses suffered by the Netherlands in this war can be claimed from Germany."

The speed of the British and French coalition forces was indeed not comparable to that of the Germans. The end of September was the fastest time given by Ganmolin. If the Germans used bombers to delay the coalition operations, the time for completing the deployment would definitely be greatly delayed.

But this is not a problem, because as long as the Netherlands joins the war, Germany must transfer its main force from Poland to the western front to launch defense. In this way, the Polish army can take the opportunity to fight back, and the war will evolve into a protracted war like the last war.

Relying on the blood transfusions from the huge overseas colonies and the maritime blockade of Germany, Britain and France will definitely win the final victory.

As for how many shells the Dutch will be hit, who will care about this?

...

"Airborne Lviv? There is absolutely nothing."

The Soviet envoy Livinov just learned that the British and German Air Force was drying up in Dutch airspace. Because from 6 a.m. to 11 a.m., he used secret telegrams and Moscow in the Soviet embassy to verify something strange. The Polish government in exile in Lublin sent a telegram saying that on September 6, thousands of Soviet paratroopers airborne Lviv and occupied Lviv Airport!

After confirming that the Soviet Union did not airborne Lviv, Livinov hurried to No. 10 Downing Street to meet Chamberlain.

"Can the one who airborne Lviv be a German?" Livinov asked with some concern. "The German team is advancing very quickly, and maybe it will soon be invaded Ukraine."

"No, their offensive has been frustrated." Zhang Bolun replied with a smile, "On September 6, the vanguard of the German army on the southern front attacked 30 kilometers south of Warsaw. However, they did not take advantage of the victory and pursued Warsaw in panic, but turned back to the north of the Vistula River, as if they wanted to meet with a German group heading south. This stupid move gave Marshal Rez-Shimigvi an excellent counterattack opportunity... I think the miracle on the Marne River will be repeated on the Vistula River now! Moreover, the Dutch will soon join the Allies, and Belgium will fight with us. In this way, Germany cannot rely on the Ziegfé defense line to protect their flanks, and they will soon fall into a desperate situation!"

"Will the Dutch really join the Allies?" Livinov was a little suspicious, "Maybe they would join Germany. After all, the Dutch royal family has a good relationship with the German royal family. Emperor William has taken refuge in the Netherlands for more than ten years."

"This is not a question of whether the relationship is good or not," Chamberlain said with a smile, "but the question of who will win! The Germans overestimate their abilities and go to war with the world's most powerful navy and the most powerful army. Their failure is inevitable."

"So, when will the negotiations between us and the Poles on the issue of Ukraine's independence begin?" Livinov didn't want to listen to Chamberlain's nonsense at all. He only cares about Ukraine now because Stalin only cares about Ukraine now!
