Chapter 705: Anglo-French declaration of war

Romania and Germany declared war on Poland and immediately launched an attack. It caused a violent uproar in Europe, because governments all know that Bopollan signed a joint defense alliance with Britain and France, and the actions of the two countries are no less than a direct slap in the face of Britain and France.

At this time, the British and French governments also had huge divergence within their governments as to how to deal with them. The radicals believed that since Poland was an ally, it should be protected, so it was necessary to declare war on Germany. At the same time, taking advantage of Germany's aggressive attack on Poland, it invaded Germany from the Rhine region and overthrew the German Communist regime.

As for Romania, after the settlement of Germany, it can be required to withdraw from the former Greek territory. If Romania cannot see the situation clearly, then Britain and France can unite Greece, Yugoslavia, and Hungary to attack Romania, overthrow Edel’s dictatorship, and establish a more democratic government in line with European trends.

At that time, this was just the radical idea and plan, and the steady faction of the two governments had different opinions on this.

They believe that if Britain and France attack Germany from behind, this will further aggravate the hostility between Germany and the two countries. And this has achieved the goal of containing Germany. But it is very likely that Germany will focus its energy on the two countries. And this will also lead to some kind of ulterior agreement between the two countries and the Soviet Union. (At present, Britain and France are not aware of the Soviet-German non-aggression agreement)

And although the British and French attacks on Germany can contain its forces, Poland will not benefit from it. Because there is still a Romanian presence, they are also pessimistic about whether Poland can withstand Romania's attack, and Britain and France are not interested in attacking Romania from Greece to contain its forces.

Among them, the relationship is too complicated, and there is also an unidentified Italian presence, which makes them not want to make some radical moves in the Mediterranean.

Of course, they are not doing nothing. First, they need to gather forces on the German-French border to prevent possible attacks. Secondly, it is necessary to build up navies in the North Sea and the Eastern Mediterranean, block the imports of resources between the two countries, cut off their trade exchanges, and reduce their war potential. Finally, the Polish government can ask for help from the Soviet Union and drag the Soviet Union into war.

Yes, although the appeasement policy of the British and French governments has failed, they are still unwilling to be dragged into the war. On the one hand, because the casualties in the last war were too great, it was shocking, and there are still a large number of people who oppose the war in Britain and France.

Therefore, the previous appeasement policy of the British and French governments would have so many people's support. Although the appeasement policy has failed, it does not mean that the people of both countries are willing to fight.

There is also a voice in Britain and France, that is, to end the war that took place at the least cost. This not only has an influence on the people, but also has a huge influence on the British and French governments.

In fact, this idea is just a variant of the policy of appeasement. Knowing that war must be declared, he still hopes to focus Germany on the Soviet Union in the east. Of course, it is best for the Soviet Union to enter Poland at the request of Poland to fight the Germans to the death and to die, and by the way, in the Ukraine region, it is enough to fight with Romania. In this way, the entire civilized world is safe.

And these two hard-line and steady ideas are intertwined, causing violent disputes between Britain and France. Churchill, who had just joined the wartime cabinet as Secretary of the Navy, strongly criticized everyone's ideas at the cabinet meeting.

It is believed that reinforcements should be sent immediately to attack the German mainland together with France. He also said that the war could have been easily stopped at the beginning, but the bad guys were re-armed because of the "unwise, careless and kindheartedness" of the British people.

It's just that Churchill's ideas are more representative of only a few people, and more people's ideas are to suppress this war.

For this reason, the French Foreign Minister George Bonnet also called the French ambassador to Rome François Ponce. To tell him to Ziano, the French government welcomes Mussolini’s suggestion to the British and French governments the day before: to invite Hitler and Edel to hold a meeting on September 1 to "review Versailles, which has become the root of the current dispute." Some terms of the peace treaty". Britain also agreed to the talks, but it only requires that the troops of the two countries must immediately withdraw from Poland.

It is true that after the Polish war broke out, Britain and France still hope to suppress the war. And hope to convey the opinions of Britain and France through Mussolini.

This time the Italian leader once again stood on the cusp of the storm. After the two countries declared war on Poland, he called on the two countries to resolve their disputes in a peaceful manner. Of course, it was his favorite leader talks.

It's just that Hitler and Edel ignored his kindness. Because the two knew that there was no turning back in their bows, they didn't want to listen to his opinions at all.

Mussolini, who had been scorned and shameless, didn't care at all, because he was stunned by the two countries' record against Poland. Romania already defeated Poland's Wakarpaqian Army on the same day, and it has penetrated into Zamosc, which is 80 kilometers away from Poland.

The same is true for Germany. The German armored forces were also torn apart in western Poland at the beginning of the war. The 700,000 troops defending here have now captured the strategic point of Poznan.

With such sharp offensives of the two countries, Mussolini was a little bit gutsy. He did not expect the two countries' armies to be so strong. Previously, the Italian military predicted that it would take at least half a year for the two countries to defeat Poland, if no mistakes were made. If you make a mistake, start at least a year.

Yes, this is not only the judgment of the Italian military, but also the judgment of Britain, France and the Soviet Union. At present, the thinking of various countries is still in the First World War mode, and there is no clear understanding of the blitzkrieg. It's still the case that countries declare war ~lightnovelpub.net~ and mobilize, and then gather forces along the railway to attack and defend.

Therefore, Mussolini was frightened in the face of the destructive offensive of the two countries. In fact, not only Mussolini, other countries have been frightened.

So that Britain and France are not asking for negotiations anymore, and hastily sent two ultimatums to Romania and Germany.

The above requested that all acts of aggression against Poland should be terminated and the troops should be withdrawn from Polish territory. Otherwise, the United Kingdom and France will fulfill our obligations to help Poland.

As for this ultimatum, Romania and Germany simply ignored them and continued to attack Poland.

In this situation, Britain and France had to announce on the third day after the war that they were at war with Germany and Romania.

In the face of such a situation, Roosevelt, who was far away in North America, declared the neutral attitude of the United States.

Only then did the war really break out.
