Chapter 869 Bastard
The signing of the Munich Agreement gave Europeans an illusion, just as Chamberlain claimed after returning to Britain, the Munich Agreement brought peace to Europe for a generation.
This is obviously nonsense.
The Munich Agreement not only failed to bring peace to a generation, but instead exposed the appeasement nature of Britain and France, especially France, further fueling the expansion of the bearded ambition.
When Czechoslovakia was founded, it signed a security agreement with France, and France promised to ensure the security of Czechoslovakia.
The French did work hard, which led to the opening of the Munich Conference.
But that's all.
One month after the signing of the Munich Agreement, Czechoslovak President Edward Benes arrived in Russia.
Edward Benes visited Paris and London respectively, and Russia was the third stop.
Edward Benes's purpose is clear, and he hopes that Russia can provide assistance to Czechoslovakia and resist the German invasion.
Vasily refused decisively and asked Edward Benes to find a way for himself.
Russia cannot be blamed for being indifferent. As a former Austro-Hungarian country, Czechoslovakia relied on the support of Britain and France, and its relations with Russia have always been lukewarm.
It's only now that I realize that Britain and France are unreliable. It would be strange if Vasily would agree to it.
George did not care about the fate of Czechoslovakia, and the focus was on Germany's industrial capacity.
After breaking through the restrictions of the Treaty of Versailles, Germany began to rush along the road of militarism.
Following the 3rd, the No. 4 tank began to be officially equipped with German troops, and the output increased rapidly from the initial 30 vehicles per month to 200 vehicles per month.
The size of the German army was also expanding rapidly. By the signing of the Munich Agreement, the German army had 40 divisions and a total force of more than 700,000, which was basically the same as before the outbreak of World War I.
So many troops have far exceeded Germany's defense needs, and only Chamberlain and Daraday believe the lies of Xiaowang.
Dalardy is hard to say, Chamberlain really trusts that the Munich Agreement can bring peace to Britain.
When Edward Benes visited the UK, Chamberlain swore his promise that his beard would not tear the Munich Agreement.
Faced with appeasement from Britain and France, George had no choice but to continue to add orders to Russian military-industrial enterprises.
Information provided by Alpha shows that the Kingdom of Italy is also expanding its military forces at the same time.
George decided to expand the army to 60 divisions.
This decision immediately caused Carl's concern.
George explained to Carl Jr. that Russia's expansion of the army was not a response to Germany's expansion of the army.
As for whether Carl believed it or not, George would not care.
Even if Russia does not expand its military, Germany will not stop expanding its military.
After obtaining the Sudetenland region, Germany decided to expand its army by 10 more divisions.
It is worth noting that all these 10 divisions are armored troops.
Makarov reported to George again, and news from Germany showed that the Germans had formulated plans to attack France.
George took the initiative to call Beden, and the two started a confrontation on the phone. "This is not surprising. We all know that Germany has also formulated a plan to attack Russia; I believe that Russia also has a similar plan to attack France, and this is just our defense mechanism at work."
Bedang is stubborn and firmly believes that Germany will not use France as the first target of attack.
The mustache really won't hit France first, but Poland first.
"Are you still firmly convinced that the Maginot Line of Defense can protect France from German invasion?"
George wanted to see when Bedam could be stubborn.
Beden was silent for a while before replying: "George, if you want, we can join forces to kill the risk of war in the bud."
George admitted that when he heard Beden's words, he was indeed moved.
But this may also be a pitfall.
George was more careful when thinking about how miserable Russia was by the British and French people in the last World War.
"If France takes the initiative to attack Germany, Russia can support it."
Betan was not silent this time: "How do you guarantee it?"
"I promise it with my honor."
If George faces Betan, it is not impossible to establish a document.
With the phone line, you can't even make a name for yourself.
Betan was silent for a long time and hung up the phone silently.
Betta cannot be blamed for not trusting George.
When Britain's colonies in Africa were in turmoil, France's colonies in Africa were not much better. George could swear that Russia really did not export to the French colonies.
But no matter how George explains it, the French would not believe it.
After the end of World War I, France dispatched 300,000 French troops to suppress the Moroccan rebellion.
Morocco is currently occupied by France and Spain.
During the Spanish Civil War, Morocco took the opportunity to rebel again, and France's territory was also affected.
At the same time that the rebellion broke out in Morocco, France's colonies in the Middle East were in chaos like India.
Although there is a lot of evidence that the rebels in the Middle East colonies came from the former Ottoman Empire.
Given the rebels' techniques, exactly the same as those of the Indian Horse Bandits, France also has reason to suspect that the Middle East rebels also came from behind Russia's support.
This is really a disaster, and George cannot argue.
Edward Benes' journey around Europe did not gain anything. After returning to Czechoslovakia, Edward Benes had no choice but to resign in the face of domestic doubts.
Amil Khacha, who served as the President of Czechoslovakia after Edward Benes, was suffering from internal and external troubles. After the Sudeten region, the voices of the Desch-Czech merger began to appear in Czechoslovakia.

This is the impact of the Munich Agreement.
The Munich Agreement fully demonstrates that Britain and France do not have the ability to protect Czechoslovakia.
In this case, instead of waiting for Czechoslovakia to fall under the iron hooves of the German army, it is better to take the initiative to incorporate into Germany, which can at least prevent Czechoslovakia from being poisoned by the war.
Some people also called on the Czechoslovaks to unite, unite to the outside world, and resolutely resist the German invasion.
But such sporadic and rational voices were soon drowned out by the sound of joining Germany.
In the midst of a turmoil, 1938 has passed.
George had a premonition that this might be the last peaceful New Year's Day.
Vasily did not agree with George's judgment and firmly believed that Germany would continue to attack the British mainland after defeating France.
It's not bad, at least George and Vasily reached an agreement on Germany's first fight against France.
"We now produce 300 armored vehicles every month. Our armored vehicles are more advanced than German armored vehicles. It is impossible for the Germans to attack us before defeating Britain, unless the Germans want to feel the smell of being attacked from both sides again."
Vasily didn't seem to realize that Russia has also suffered a lot in the past two years because of the great cleaning he led.
The effect is definitely there.
Through the great top-down cleaning, the officials and generals left over from the Imperial Russia era, except Andrei and Peter, have completely retired.
The newcomers are either impactful and highly educated and highly qualified young people, or practical people promoted at work.
George still saved a group of people, especially those veteran generals who had low moral standards but were able to fight.
Although young people are full of energy, they are not experienced enough.
Like George, many newly promoted senior officers are highly concerned about Germany's expansion and suggest that Russia take the lead in taking the initiative.
The combat plans formulated by these generals were either to fight Poland first or to attack former Austro-Hungarian countries, and eventually to concentrate their troops into Germany to eliminate Germany's threat to Russia.
These solutions are still feasible.
But they ignored the fact that if Russia takes the initiative to attack Germany, not only will Russia's honor be lost, but Britain and France also reap profits and can blame Russia on the basis of the moral high ground.
Don't forget that Russia and Germany signed the Treaty of Non-aggression. "Once the German army cannot cross the English Channel, the German army will turn its spearhead and launch an attack on us."
What George has to do now is to accumulate strength and give the German army a head-on blow when Germany attacks Russia, and then completely defeat Germany before the United States joins the war.
What George did not expect was that just after New Year's Day, the Kingdom of Romania gave George a surprise and took the initiative to become ally with Germany.
The condition for the alliance between Romania and Germany is that Germany recognizes Romania's occupation of Transylvania and promises to further increase the efforts to import materials from the Kingdom of Romania.
The materials imported by Germany from Romania are mainly oil.
So, this is a covenant that will harm Russia's interests.
Vasily sent a telegram to Carol as soon as possible, asking Carol to come to Alexander in person and explain in person.
What Vasily and George did not expect was that Carol actually refused to come to Alexander on the pretext of visiting the United States.
Carol did not take a plane to visit the United States, but took a boat, walked through the Dardanelles and went out of the Black Sea, and went to the United States through the Mediterranean and the Atlantic Ocean.
This time, even if Carol doesn't waste time in the United States, it will take at least two months.
"This bastard, we must make him pay the price!"
Vasily and Ferdinand have a good relationship. They have not been skeptical about Carol for Ferdinand's sake.
