Berlin, Germany, the capital of the Führer.
Ludwig hurried to the Lyon office with a report in his hand.
"Long live the Führer!" The guard at the door raised his right hand and gave Ludwig a standard German salute.
"Long live the Führer!" Ludwig returned a salute to the guards, then stopped in front of the door and knocked on the door, "Führer! I am Ludwig."
"Come in." A male voice came from the room.
After getting permission, Ludwig pushed open the door and walked to Leon's desk.
"Führer! The latest battle report." Ludwig respectfully handed the report to Leon.
Leon took the battle report and carefully turned it over.
"Very good, our young man is great." Lyon looked at the gratifying record in the battle report and smiled, "Oh, the vanguard of the 6th Armored Division of the Wehrmacht has all reached the Rhone River?"
"Yes, my Führer," said Ludwig, "but the 6th Panzer Division is too far ahead, and the intelligence shows that the two French panzer divisions stationed in the Colmar section of the Maginot Line are gathering. They showed their intention to launch a second offensive."
"Then let our boys rest, let them stop attacking and garrison in place." Lyon said, "As for the French, don't worry that they will launch a second round of attacks, Daladier is now unable to protect himself."
Meanwhile, Paris, France.
Dalady looked at the demonstrations that were being held not far away, and sighed lonely.
"You said, did I really do something wrong?" Dalady asked his secretary.
"I don't know, sir." The secretary shook his head.
"Well, I'm going to take the blame and resign." Daladier gritted his teeth and said.
"Take the blame and resign? Hehe, you think beautifully!" The door of the office was slammed open, and a middle-aged man walked in with a team of gendarmes, and said to Daladier with a sneer, "Mr. Daladier, because of your The wrong leadership has cost us nearly 30,000 soldiers in vain. According to the Supreme Constitution, I regret to inform you that from now on, you are no longer the president of the French Third Republic, and you will be judged by the people!"
"Le Brun?!" Daladier looked at the person who came and said in surprise, "What does this mean?"
"What this means is that you are now a sinner in France." Le Brun leaned into Daraty's ear and whispered, "It was you who provoked the war, and the cabinet was forced to agree to this plan under your pressure. "
Dara First Company looked at Lebrun in disbelief, and after a while, he roared: "You bastards, this plan was agreed by all of us, and you have a 'credit' in it! Why! Is it my fault now?!"
"Take him away!" Le Brun ignored Dalady's roar and ordered the military police beside him indifferently.
After hearing the order, the military police rushed up, twisted Faraday's hands behind him, put handcuffs on him, and escorted him out the door.
"You can't do this! Guards! Guards!" The secretary shouted and rushed up, trying to save Daladier.
Le Brun kicked the secretary who had jumped to the ground with a savage kick, then took out a pistol and aimed it at the secretary, saying, "I almost forgot about you, and you know the inside story!"
Having said that, he fired several shots at the secretary.
Not only this secretary, but almost everyone who knew the inside story and stood on Dara's first side suffered various accidents.
Two days later, all "French Volunteers" were withdrawn from the country, and France also issued an official statement on this "spontaneous incident", although this statement was four days late.
In the statement, France apologized to Germany and emphasized that what happened was the "personal behavior" of Daladier and a small number of high-ranking officers, and had nothing to do with the French government.
How could Lyon on the German side let go of this good opportunity to "blackmail" France? Immediately after the French statement was released, he ordered the German Foreign Ministry to follow up with a statement, strongly condemning France's practice of interfering in other countries' internal affairs, and asked France to give Germany a satisfactory answer, otherwise Germany would personally seek justice.
In order to increase the pressure of public opinion, Lyon himself even went into battle and delivered a passionate and touching speech in front of the Congress Building. People from all over the world who listened to this speech were all furious and held parades everywhere to put pressure on their own countries. Ask your own country to help the "poor" country of Germany.
And the German Wehrmacht and the German SS, which have always been good at seizing opportunities, have not been idle. They used this as an excuse to carry out a new round of military expansion. The Wehrmacht added 2 new armies, a total of 12 divisions, 200,000 people, and the SS increased. 72,000 men in 4 grenadier divisions.
Of course, due to the fact that German production capacity has recently been tilted towards the air force.
Yes, Lyon is expected to complete the pre-war mobilization at the end of 38 years, and it is expected that the German economy will be completely adjusted to a wartime economy and a national mobilization will be carried out around 1940, not after the Battle of Kursk in 1943 as in the previous generation. transfer in.
Germany is busy beating France, and Italy, Czechoslovakia, and Spain, which are allies, are not idle either.
Italy, Czechoslovakia and Spain denounced Germany alongside their condemnation, and Italy and Spain, France's neighbors, immediately began to expand their armies.
Spain ordered two new battleships and 800 ME109 foreign trade models from Germany on the basis of payment before delivery.
Italy has built two new "Vittorio Veneto" class battleships, namely the third ship "Roma" and the fourth ship "Imperial", while in the army, Italy has formed 10 new ships. The division has a total of 160,000 troops and an additional 100,000 troops on the French-Italian border, with a look of "since you don't give face to Germany, don't blame me for not giving you face".
Since Czechoslovakia does not have a border with France, there is nothing he can do to put pressure on France, but his boss has been bullied by France, so he can't just let France go, right?
As a result, Czechoslovakia placed an order for 3,000 "Stalker" tank destroyers from the factory under Lyon's instruction.
One by one, the fierce Europeans made their statements, which made France feel that the situation was serious. They had to turn their attention to the United Kingdom, hoping that the United Kingdom could speak for themselves.
Chamberlain was very angry when he knew what France meant. At first, I advised you not to beat you, but you didn't listen, but he was beaten all over the head, and only came to me when something happened? ! Play while you go!
The poor France saw that no one was willing to help him, so he had to send someone to Lyon for "peace talks" and signed a series of "unequal treaties" before finally turning the matter over.
