Chapter 786 (1/2)
Chamberlain, who pursued the policy of appeasement, won what he called the ”peaceful generation”. After the dwarfs conquered the whole territory of Czechoslovakia by force, he became a laughing stock.
According to his plan, appeasement can ease the international tension, and promote the dwarfs to oppose the Soviet Union and the Communist Party, and bring disaster to the East.
As a result, his appeasement and concession, on the contrary, stimulated the NC leader's appetite for aggression and seriously weakened the strategic position of the Anglo French group.
On the eve of the incident, foreign minister levinov of the Soviet Union repeatedly said that if France abides by its treaty obligations and gives direct and effective help to the Czech Republic, ”the Soviet Union will, together with France, fulfill its obligations in accordance with the treaty.”
”It will assist the Czech Republic in the way that the Soviet Union can take. The Ministry of defense of the Soviet Union is ready to immediately attend a meeting of representatives of the French and Czech ministries of defense to discuss measures.”
But it was such a big country's public statement without any other conditions that was rejected by Chamberlain, who pursued the policy of appeasement.
At that time, Winston made such remarks in the political section of the times: ”the development of the situation seems that the Soviet Union does not exist in the world,
if it continues to develop, we will eventually pay a huge price for it.”
At that time, this speech was criticized by all walks of life of the British party and government, but it also made Winston get the attention and favor of the Soviet people.
After the Czech Republic was completely divided up and included in Germany's ”protection”, Winston, then a backbencher of the house of Commons, delivered a lengthy and thorough speech.
”It's all over. Jack, silent, sad, abandoned and fragmented, has fallen into darkness.
For a long time, it has followed the leadership and policy of France and stood firmly with France and Britain, which resulted in a great loss to it.
we do not have to waste time studying the differences between the agreements reached in pochtesgaden, in the ruins of goldsburg and in Munich.
If the court allows me to change a metaphor, I will explain it briefly.
He first pointed a pistol at you and asked you to give him a pound.
When all is delivered, he points a gun at you and asks for two pounds.
In the end, the dictator promised to charge one pound, seventeen shillings and sixpence in advance, with the rest guaranteed to be paid later
Winston's speech in the house of Commons caused him to face a storm of protest from the appeasement forces. He had to immerse himself for a period of time before he could continue to speak.
”Now, the balance in Europe has been broken, and we have suffered a complete failure The gateway to the Danube The door to the Black Sea has opened.
Don't think it's going to end from here. It's just the first step in accounting.
This is only the first taste of bitter water that will be handed to us every year.
Unless we get up and restore our fighting vitality, we will be able to stand up again and fight for freedom as usual. ”
Those who don't know the situation may listen to the mist. This is about the French alliance system.
After the Munich plot, France foolishly disintegrated its alliance system.
After Munich, France lost not only a Czech Republic, but also its military status in Europe.
Previously, France had more than 100 regular divisions and established alliance relations with small countries in Eastern Europe, such as the Czech Republic, Poland, Yugoslavia and Romania.
The combined military power of these countries was enough to subdue the dwarfs, but that changed after Munich.
