Chapter 76 Rhineland 3

On the other hand, although Germany made mistakes due to "Kaiser Wilhelm's stupidity" and his expansion ambitions, it is Britain's natural brother. The British believed that it was the Latins in France who wanted to realize France's revenge, regain the territory France lost in the 1870 German-French War, dominate the European continent, and "use the selfishness, cunning and immoral qualities of the Latins" to drag Britain into In the war with his own brothers, he served the national interests of France.

France hoped to dismember Germany after World War I so that Germany would lose any chance of revival, but Britain opposed any dismemberment of Germany or even any measures to severely punish Germany.

The British were unwilling to believe in any further war between Britain and Germany after World War I, and therefore opposed France's aggressive behavior on the European continent. In the eyes of the British, the Germans were the most dynamic race, while the Latins and Slavs were the troublemakers.

"As Crown Prince Yannick said himself, he is very self-aware and knows what the price of starting another war will be. So I am not worried about Germany, I am more worried about the damn Red Empire. I don't know whether William II is I am not an old fool, and I actually sold the design of super tanks and super battleships to the Soviet Union." Prime Minister McDonald felt a chill down his spine when he thought of the data on the super weapons that Crown Prince Yannick mentioned to him.

Relying on sea power and relying on centuries of management, Britain has just built an empire that spans the world and "the sun never sets". The "super battleship" mentioned by Yanik will obviously threaten the British Empire's maritime supremacy.

The Deputy Prime Minister expressed his doubts. "Can such a huge warship be built with the industrial level of the Soviet Union?" Europeans are very disgusted or should be said to be afraid of the Red Empire, which is full of desire for expansion, but many people despise it from the bottom of their hearts and think it is backward. The savage.

The Minister of Defense nodded with a displeased expression. "It's possible. Not only Germany and the United States, but also us have sold them a lot of equipment over the years. In addition, the Soviets developed it themselves, so we can't guarantee that they can't build it."

Prime Minister Macdonald looked at the Sea Lord not far away. "If those furry bears really build that kind of 'super battleship', can we resist it?"

The Sea Lord's expression turned even more ugly, "460 cannon!" It's like one shot into the soul! It's a shame that the Germans can imagine such crazy dimensions! "Mr. Prime Minister, we'd better get the blueprint of the 'super battleship'. We have to study it carefully before making a decision." Just listening to the data shows that none of the existing warships in the British Empire can match it. Even if they rush forward in a swarm, You may not necessarily gain the upper hand, and you may even be counterattacked by your opponent. The most dangerous Soviets couldn't possibly build only one or two ships, right? !

The best way is to get the drawings and study them carefully to see if there are any flaws.

The Army Chief of Staff also added. "There are also drawings of that 'super tank'."

drawing?

Prime Minister Macdonald sighed melancholy.

That can only be obtained from the Germans. If I had known this, I should have exchanged those "super weapon" blueprints with the Germans on the condition of the Rhineland. Fortunately now, the Rhineland has returned to German hands. If we ask them for drawings again, we don't know what conditions the other party will put forward.

The distant Ming Dynasty.

"Xiaohan, why are you back?" William II, who was sitting comfortably on a recliner and bathing in the sun, asked kindly when he saw his granddaughter running back in a hurry. (As mentioned earlier, William II visited the Ming Dynasty when he was young, met a woman, and gave birth to a daughter.)

The girl shouted, waving the newspaper in her hand. "Grandpa, I just received the news that Yannick personally led the Guards troops into the Rhineland."

William II was immediately taken aback and almost jumped up. "Then France..."

"There was no reaction from France. Not only France, but also the United Kingdom and the United States acquiesced to his actions."

William II couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and shook his head slightly. "Hey, this kid is still too reckless. Aren't you afraid of triggering a war by doing this?"

The big shots in Berlin, Germany, all except Yannick, were all waiting in fear for the reactions of various countries. Yannick certainly knew that France's failure to send troops to drive them away immediately meant that the opportunity was completely lost.

One hour, two hours, three hours.

One day, two days, three days.

France and Britain did not respond to their own entry into the Rhineland! They actually acquiesced to this blatant violation of the Treaty of Versailles? !

Goebbels's propaganda department, under Yannick's direction, began to report the exciting news.

"Extra! Extra! The German Guards take back the Rhineland!"

"Come and see! The Rhineland has been restored! Germany has avenged its previous humiliation!"

"His Royal Highness Yannick personally led the army across the Rhine! Germany has emerged from the shadow of war!"

"His Royal Highness Yannick is about to lead us out of the economic crisis!"

Compared with the frightened high-level figures, ordinary people don't have so many worries. In the depressing atmosphere of the economic crisis, hearing some exciting news is a great comfort to the working people at the bottom. They know that their motherland has dignity again, the economy is better than before, and the order on the streets has improved a lot.

Jannick not only repaired the highways and various magnificent buildings showing the German style, but also emphasized the development of "people's cars", "parking lots", "free trade centers", "parks" and "green areas", and the country achieved full employment. Now all citizens are making money and can eat their fill.

In fact, this can only be said to be a short-term solution to Germany's economic problems. The expansion of the army and these constructions are funded by various loans and inflation expenditures, but the German people did not understand this at the beginning, and the pressure of inflation will not appear until a few years later.

Victory!

In Berlin, Munich, Cologne, Frankfurt... and Cologne, Koblenz, Frankfurt and Mainz, which originally belonged to the Rhineland region, celebration parades were held one after another, becoming a veritable carnival night.

Various gorgeous fireworks shot into the sky as if they were free, blooming with dazzling light.

The women standing on cars and horses, making all kinds of gorgeous poses, were half naked, their tall figures and graceful curves like silver foil seemed to come from God's inspiration and creation. The Germans present all felt joy and pride...

Victory! Now, Germany's economy has developed enough, and politically, it is constantly making progress!

Just when the whole country was celebrating, Yannick received another good news. The Soviet Union agreed to build the railway and construction would start immediately!
