Corder Hull's analysis is not unreasonable, because the idea of ​​European integration actually originated from France and Germany... Emperor Napoleon of France and Emperor William of Germany both dreamed of establishing an integrated Europe. And Britain has always been an opponent of European integration... The dreams of Napoleon and William were all shattered because of British resistance.

If Napoleon of history and Emperor William of 21 years ago could force Britain to surrender, then an integrated Europe would have long appeared!

Of course, Germany and France's dream of integration is also different. What Germany wants is the European integration led by Germany, while France wants is the European integration led by France. Moreover, in Europe, only these two countries are qualified to lead integration. Although the UK also has the strength to lead Europe, the British islanders have always wanted to divide rather than unify Europe.

Therefore, to unify Europe (not including the Soviet Union or Italy), we must first choose a leader between France and Germany. Now the Germans have basically beaten France down after 9 days, and it is obvious that they have already had the kingly appearance of the European continent.

But the French would not convince themselves, and other European countries would also have doubts. Because Emperor Napoleon also did the same thing and was invincible on the European continent. But Napoleon eventually failed because he could not conquer Britain.

If Germany can defeat Britain now, then France will be devoted to following the German big brother.

"I get it," Roosevelt nodded and frowned, "we must help Britain now, or Europe will be one!"

Although the United States is powerful, it has not yet reached the point where it can confront a unified Europe (excluding the Soviet Union).

...

"We are going to win? Is this true? God, is this true?"

In the palace of Charlottemberg, Berlin, Emperor William, in full military uniform, also had an incredible expression after listening to the report of Marshal Schletcher, the Minister of Defense.

"The enemy who had been fighting hard for Germany for five years actually collapsed in just 9 days?" The German emperor's eyes swept over the leader and prime minister Hitler and acting chief of staff Hessman. "There will be no more 'Marne' miracle, right?"

"My Majesty," Marshal Hessmann was the calmest of the four people in the Charlottemberg Palace's audition hall. France's defeat was long as he expected.

"For France, there will be no miracles now. Because the miracle can be created are countless people who are willing to die for their country... Only when the people put the country above their personal life and death will miracles happen. But in France, after World War I, the people who fear wars have already rode on the head of the country."

The country is the first or the people is the biggest difference between national socialism and social democracy.

Now the Germans believe in the country first, because during the interwar period, the German people suffered great misfortune due to the sudden decline of the powerful country. Therefore, everyone hopes to rebuild a powerful Germany and is willing to sacrifice for the rise of the country.

France embarked on the opposite path. The French did not lose their empire, so naturally they did not know that the empire was so precious. Moreover, the First World War made France shed too much blood, so that many French people placed human lives above the country and were no longer willing to sacrifice for their motherland. The French people's idea was reflected in politics through France's democratic system. The anti-war left-pai party became the dominant force in the French political arena during the interwar period, especially in the 1930s. This is completely opposite to the fact that France's whole country sought war and wanted to defeat Germany and regain Alsace-Lorraine and restore France's hegemony on the European continent.

After hearing Hessman's explanation, the German emperor frowned and said, "German lost 21 years ago, and the whole country suffered, so the national socialism was striving for hard work. Today, France was defeated, and the French people will also experience the sufferings experienced by the German people. Perhaps in 10 years, a French National Socialist Workers' Party will lead the French people to rise up?"

This is a bit like the feng shui turns, but Old William's view is still reasonable. France's history is not unlucky, but after the bad luck, it can always be revived and has always maintained its status as a first-class power. This is not accidental, but an inevitable factor.

However, Hessmann was not worried about France's defeat of Germany in World War III.

"Your Majesty," Hessmann told the German emperor, "we can come up with a solution to the European millennium dispute after defeating France."

"European integration?" asked Emperor William. "Can we force France to join a German-led European community?"

Hessmann and Hitler looked at each other, and Hitler said: "Your Majesty, can the French people use their votes to decide whether to join the European Community or to bear the severe responsibility for defeat!"

"Severe responsibility for defeat?"

Hitler said: "Firstly, France will return Alsace Lorraine; secondly, France will compensate 226 billion Jinmaks; thirdly, France must hand over all fleets and aircraft, and all aircraft manufacturing plants, automobile factories and tank manufacturing plants; fourthly, France will ced colonies in North Africa and Syria; fifthly, limit French force; sixth, before Britain surrenders, Germany will occupy several important ports in northern France and along the Mediterranean coast as bases for combat against Britain; seventh, if the French cannot hand over the fleet, then France will have to ced Provence."

These seven peace conditions were considered by Hetsman long ago. After the victory on April 16 was basically locked, Hetsman put forward these conditions at the headquarters meeting. After discussion, Hitler also agreed to use these seven conditions as one of the basis of the peace talks.

"It's really very strict!" said the German emperor, "I'm afraid the French will not accept it."

"Then they have a second option," Hitler said, "to be at the heart of the future European community with Germany.

First, Germany, France, Belgium, Denmark, Hungary, Slovakia and Poland will form a customs alliance, and will also invite countries such as the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Romania, Bulgaria, Finland and Switzerland to join;

Secondly, Germany, France, Belgium and Poland will issue common currency European Mark;

Third, Alsace Lorraine will become the capital of the future European community;

Fourth, France handed us the fleet to fight against Britain, or they fought side by side with us.”

Obviously, the second option is what the German government really wants.

With Germany and France as the core (the real core is of course Germany), a huge European community will be formed. The community will first start with a huge common market, including at least France, Germany, Poland (including Western Ukraine and Lithuania), Denmark, Belgium, Slovakia, Luxembourg (will join Germany) and Hungary (who are voluntarily joined).

And the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Romania and Switzerland also have a high chance of joining. After all, a common market including Germany, France, Belgium and Poland is very large and attractive. Joining it is very beneficial for countries like the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland and Finland.

At the same time, with France joining, the issuance of the European Mark is very feasible. Because France and Germany have large economies, mergers can almost compete with the United States, and have a larger population than the United States. If Germany can win again in the Mediterranean and successfully control the oil-producing areas in the Middle East, then the European Mark will be linked to oil and become a currency that can compete with the US dollar.

With the European Common Market and the European Mark, coupled with the invincible German army, the unification of Europe (excluding the Soviet Union and Italy) is no longer an illusory dream. Leading a unified Europe and then dominating the world has always been Germany's ideal.

"Will the French stand with us?" The German emperor was still a little confused.

Hessman shrugged and smiled, "Often it won't, but they are defeated now! There is a price to lose. If they don't want to pay the price, then continue to fight! When we occupy the entire territory of France, we can organize a referendum on our own and let the French people choose the future.

Moreover, even if the French choose to pay compensation, France will still have to join the European Community in the future. By the time we defeat Britain and dominate the Atlantic and Mediterranean, France will have no choice!”

The German emperor turned his attention to leader and prime minister Hitler, who knew that Hitler and Hessman had differences on defeating Britain.

Hitler believed that it was possible to negotiate with the UK, and as long as the UK recognized Germany's power on the European continent and handed over the Middle East oil-producing zone (excluding the Suez Canal) to Germany, the British Empire could continue to exist.

But Hessman always advocates defeating Britain completely, landing in the British mainland, and then occupying it!

"The efforts to win diplomacy should not be given up," Hitler said slowly. "After all, Britain has marine protection. It will be difficult to occupy the British mainland unless the German navy has the ability to defeat the Royal Navy. Moreover, the rapid collapse of the British Empire also has an adverse side."

Hessmann actually didn't want the British Empire to collapse quickly, which would allow the United States to control Canada and Australia and allow the Soviet Union to enter the Middle East. Then the Soviet Union and the United States would join forces to curb Germany!

"Diplomatic efforts should not be given up," Hessmann said the decision of the Command Conference, "but the military strikes cannot be relaxed. First, it is to eliminate British troops on the European continent as much as possible; second, it is to launch the southern front to seize the Mediterranean and the Middle East!"

"It's great," the German emperor nodded, "so how does the peace talks with France go on?"
