Chapter 703 (1/2)
The news that 1000 German cavalry had crossed the Rhine demilitarized zone was widely publicized and reported in its territory.
France knows that it can't hide it, but they have already figured out an excuse, that is, in order to maintain the peace in Europe, they don't want to take the lead in starting a war.
And pull their own allies, call on the younger brother to condemn Germany together, as if this can make the German wolf obedient.
But the more frequently they denounce and Crusade in the newspapers, the more certain the dwarfs are that the French are a group of paper tigers.
This makes the dwarf more daring, decided to speed up the pace of external expansion.
The second expansion of the German defense forces began, from 300000 to 2000000. The dwarfs waited anxiously for the reaction of Britain and France.
As soon as the French and British troops in the DMZ of Rhine act, he will immediately and obediently retreat.
However, the performance of Britain and France surprised the dwarfs.
Protest, condemnation, sanctions, and then endless discussions and meetings in the League of nations, which make the dwarfs laugh at night.
The original fear began to break, and the performance of Britain and France was like high-quality logs, filling the wildfire in the heart of the dwarf one by one, making it burn more vigorously.
On March 7, the dwarf unilaterally and flagrantly announced the abolition of the Locarno convention, ignored the Versaille peace treaty, and directly sent 30000 German troops into the Rhine demilitarized zone, and built fortifications along the western border of Germany.
The response of Britain and France is still on paper sanctions and condemnation.
Even now, the British and French cabinet is still carrying out appeasement policies. Last year, Prime Minister Baldwin was a conservative. He took a moderate line and believed that as long as the dwarfs were appeased, even if there was a war, it would be controllable.
Baldwin's government also passed the controversial Indian government act, which was protested and criticized by the Indian side.
They brought a lot of trouble. For the present Britain, the importance of India as a colony is self-evident.
To the east of Suez Canal, the largest raw material producing area and product dumping place, a large number of British troops stationed in India, effectively alleviating domestic pressure.
The Indian British coalition forces in India are also the core of the British Far East, representing its political status and interests in the Far East.
India's huge population base is also an important recruitment place for Britain. Once a war breaks out, they can immediately pull out millions of troops from India.
If this time leads to civil strife in India, it will definitely be worse for Britain, which has a bad economy.
Besides, how can Britain, which has lost India, be called the British Empire.
The situation in France is even worse. Since the first World War, the French cabinet government has changed every few months, just like temporary workers.
Romantic French are all in pursuit of comfort and pleasure. Dadaism was rampant in the first World War, and even civilians took the initiative to destroy defense facilities.
The military, on the other hand, focuses on the construction of the Maginot line. They firmly believe that with this ”solid mountain” defense line, no one can invade the country.
The tragedy of the first world war can never happen again, and the war must be resisted outside France. The conservative thought doomed their end.
Maybe they don't understand that the best defense is to attack.
