Chapter 108 Czech Rebellion 3

If the French Prime Minister at this time was Charles de Gaulle and the British Prime Minister was Churchill, they would definitely issue a war warning to Germany.

Unfortunately, the current French Prime Minister is Camille Chaudan and the British Prime Minister is Chamberlain. Chamberlain's appeasement policy is well known to everyone, and Camille Chaudan, in the original time and space, became a controversial figure because of his role in the surrender of France in World War II, and was even described as "mentally impaired". After World War II, the French court tried him in absentia while he was living in the United States and convicted him of collaborating with the enemy.

Today's Sudetenland is like a volcano about to erupt, making these two typical figures of appeasement policy somewhat hesitant and at a loss, especially French Prime Minister Camille Chaudan, who is as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. You must know that France and Czech have an agreement.

If Germany really declares war on Czechoslovakia, then according to the agreement, France must declare war on Germany.

"This time the Czech government went too far. An ordinary strike and march caused so many deaths, and all of them were Germans. It's no wonder that the Germans are so angry." Camille Chaudhry began to blame the Czech government as soon as he opened his mouth.

"I also think that we can't give up the current peace because of the mistakes made by the Czech government." The French Defense Minister Edouard Daladier followed closely and echoed. In history, Daladier was also an important representative of the appeasement faction.

"Anyway, most of the people living there are Germans. Since the Germans want to take it back, just give part of it to the Germans." The president and the defense minister agreed, so what else can others say? After all, many people really don't want to experience another big war.

In the last war, a whole generation of young people fell on the battlefield. Although Britain and France won in the end, there was not much benefit. They all realized that many things can actually be solved by sitting down and talking, and there is no need to fight to the death.

"But how do we tell the Czechs?" The meeting agreed, but after all, the agreement between the two countries is there. Although it was not signed by Camillesho himself, no matter who signed it, it represents the country's credibility. Now the Germans haven't really taken action yet. If France gives part of the Czech land to the Germans first, it will be a bit too embarrassing. This is not the style of a great power!

Just when everyone was thinking about how to solve this matter without losing face, Camillesho remembered British Prime Minister Chamberlain. "I think we can ask the British Prime Minister to be the middleman and go to Berlin to persuade the Germans not to use force, and then mediate with the Czechs to let them give up some land."

In this way, less than two hours after the German warning was issued, Britain and France had reached a consensus to use part of the Czech land in exchange for peace in the whole of Europe! !

From beginning to end, no one thought whether the Czechs would agree o (╯□╰) o

Maybe this is the tragedy of a small country.

Britain and France hit it off, and the next day British Prime Minister Chamberlain flew to Berlin, Germany.

After all, such "major incidents" require personal intervention to show sincerity.

And his views are the same as those of the French.

War should be avoided if it can be avoided!

Since the Germans cannot stand seeing their compatriots being oppressed, let's satisfy them.

And Yannick also gave the prime minister enough face. He personally brought a group of senior military and political officials to greet him at the airport and watched Chamberlain walk down the plane with an umbrella in his hand. As for why Chamberlain often held an umbrella in his hand, some netizens in later generations speculated that it was a weapon disguised as an umbrella. But it's impossible to think about it. Let a national leader personally take a weapon to defend himself. How bad must the security force of that country be.

At this time, Britain was still an era when gentleman style was popular. A coat, a hat, a cane or an umbrella were typical British dresses, and Chamberlain was nearly 60 at the time. It was normal to maintain such a tradition.

As for the reason why the British love to hold umbrellas, it is mainly because Britain is rainy all year round, especially in the era without satellite technology, and the weather cannot be predicted, which makes them develop the habit of holding umbrellas when going out.

"Mr. Chamberlain, welcome to Berlin. I heard that you are the most talented and far-sighted politician in the UK. It is my honor that you can come here in person." Yannick even flattered him.

He welcomed Chamberlain from the bottom of his heart. Unlike Churchill, who fought hard with Germany to fatten the United States, this guy's appeasement policy was simply fighting hard with the Soviet Union to fatten Germany, making Germany stronger day by day, and eventually developing into a force that frightened Britain and France.

"Your Highness, I am here for peace in our Europe." Chamberlain said sincerely while extending his hand. "God bless this land, and there will be no more war."

Peace is the mainstream. In the current UK, guys like Churchill who advocate war rhetoric all day long are almost despised by everyone.

Maybe it was because he was let go by British soldiers during World War I; maybe it was because he was a nationalist and believed that the British Anglo-Saxons had the same noble blood as the Germans; maybe he was quite self-aware and knew that it would be difficult for the German army to cross the English Channel and land on the British mainland. Anyway, the mustache was a well-known "Anglo-hating" person. After the war began, he frequently submitted peace letters to Britain. Even Hess, the second most important figure in Germany, flew to Britain alone for negotiations, but was imprisoned without even seeing Churchill. Even many people in later generations believed that the mustache deliberately let the British army go in Dunkirk to show goodwill to the British.

After Germany overthrew France with thunderous force, it was ready to implement the "Barbarossa Plan". At this time, the best choice for Britain was of course to divert water to the east and sit on the mountain to watch the fight between the Soviet Union and Germany. But Churchill jumped out again. He believed that Germany would win the war against the Soviet Union too easily, which would not cause him disgust, but a Germany that ruled a large area of ​​European land from the Rhine to the Ural Mountains would be too powerful, and Britain would become its vassal. Therefore, he rejected the mustache's proposal to level the situation. Not only did he inform Stalin more than 80 times that Germany was going to attack him (before the "Barbarossa Plan" action, the Soviet Union and Germany were allies, and Stalin certainly would not care about him), but he also kept instigating the United States to join the war.

Churchill certainly had his own purpose: to weaken France and the United States and defeat the Soviet Union, but this idea did not become a reality. Besides, Churchill alone could not stop two powerful countries. When he wrote his memoirs, he recorded the Yalta Conference like this: "On one side of me was a huge Russian bear (Stalin), on the other side was a huge North American bison (Roosevelt), and in the middle sat a poor little British donkey." It seems that Churchill saw the ambitions of the two countries, but he was powerless. Because the British Empire has really weakened.

It is said that Churchill cried after the Yalta Conference. The Americans were so cruel that they almost took off the last underwear of the British Empire. Britain lost the world and was no longer the boss of the world (the British Empire that dominated the world for hundreds of years and had 40 million square kilometers of colonies around the world, such as Australia, South Africa, Canada, India (with Pakistan), collapsed), and the rules of the game were no longer set by it (it became the little brother of the United States).

Yannick also had a sincere face. "Personally, I don't want to see war again. But the problem now is that our German compatriots are being oppressed and suffering there. How can I have the face to talk about the value of peace here?"

Chamberlain nodded quickly. "We deeply sympathize with the plight of the Sudeten Germans, but there is a solution to everything, right?"
