For the Czech government, this is a period that makes them extremely angry!
Has concluded an alliance with France, the result? France actually asked them to use the principle of national self-determination to solve the problems in the Sudetenland!
The majority of the population there are Germanic. If they were allowed to self-determine their nation and vote openly, they would of course choose to join Germany!
Austria has been merged into Germany, and after the merger, Austria has also undergone great changes!
The highways in Austria were built as wide as Germany, and the provision of a large number of jobs quickly allowed the Austrians to find jobs and eat their stomachs. They are also confident in the future.
The Germans in the Sudetenland will definitely choose to join Germany!
And no president will stand by and watch his country split!
Faced with this situation, Czech President Edward Benes, of course, would not agree. The Czech country is soaked in his efforts! Together with Thomas Masaryk and Milan Štefani, he is known as the founding trio of Czechoslovakia.
In World War I, Benes and others organized the Czech nationalist independence movement.
Starting in 1915, he fought with Thomas Masaryk and Slovak Milan Štfánik to establish the Czechoslovak Legion.
In 1918, France recognized the Czechoslovak National Assembly as the sole representative of the planned Czechoslovak Republic and had a say in the negotiation process of the Treaty of Versailles.
At that time, U.S. President Woodrow Wilson once suggested that the Sudetenland should carry out national self-determination, but Benes sternly rejected it. Eventually, the Sudetenland became part of the Czech Republic.
Of course, there were also attempts to merge into Germany or Austria within a part of the Sudetenland. These were suppressed by them. After the dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Czechoslovak army settled in the German-speaking regions of eastern Czech Republic, disbanding the local independence movement.
Benes is the true founding father and has always held real power in the government. Since 35 years, he has become the president!
How could such a person succumb to Germany's lewdness!
Come, the Czech Republic will never be afraid!
In the Presidential Palace in Prague, Benes was very angry. He did not expect that the French and the British would betray them!
"President, if we want Britain and France to support us, we must make a compromise." The Minister of Foreign Affairs said to Benes: "Before we could get the Sudetenland, which was the help of Britain and France, but now, we have lost the help of Britain and France. It is difficult for us to preserve all the territories."
At the beginning, when the First World War had just ended, Britain and France both wanted Germany to become a docile sheep. They did everything to weaken the defeated Germany, even the United States could not stand it.
Therefore, it is natural that the Sudetenland is left to the Czech Republic, but now the situation is different.
"At most, we can cede part of the Sudetenland, um, up to 5,000 square kilometers, to Germany, and then deport all German-speaking people who remain in Czechoslovakia." Benes said.
Five thousand square kilometers, accounting for only 18% of the total area of the Sudetenland, leave these to Germany and forget it, and then drive out the remaining Germanic people!
In his attitude towards these people, Benes hasn't changed, just drive them away! Historically, this wish of Benes was finally realized after the end of World War II.
"Okay, I will tell the French side." The Foreign Minister said.
Hitler's appetite is really not small, and it is absolutely impossible to cede the entire Sudeten area to them!
The country’s territory must not be thrown away in its own hands. At the same time, what’s more serious is that most of the Czech Republic’s territory is plain. Only the Sudetenland is a mountainous area. Over the years, in order to prevent the resurgence of the Germans, the Czech Republic It is also building fortifications to defend Germany, and these fortifications are all in the mountains of the Sudetenland!
If all the Sudetenland was given to Germany, then the Czech Republic would have no danger to defend. Those modern armored units would rush up at any time, even though the Czech Republic had forty divisions, they couldn't stop it at all!
Coming from that terrible battle, Benes didn't want to fight, but at the same time, he would never be afraid of it!
Benes’s reply reached France. He is staying in France and is discussing Czech issues with the French Prime Minister and the Minister of Defense. Now, the Czech Republic is willing to cede part of the Sudetenland, which is a big step backward. .
As a result, Chamberlain came to Berlin again. As an intermediary, he was to find a plan that would be acceptable to each other, step back each, and make the sky brighter.
Unfortunately, he was wrong, and Germany would never compromise!
"Those Germanic people have lived there for generations, and the Sudetenland has belonged to the Czech Republic. It is only a matter of the last two decades, and even the American president at the time is not satisfied." Hitler's words were very firm: "Now Let us get only a small piece of Sudetenland, and then, looking at us, the millions of German compatriots who are watching us, leave their homes?"
"Our request cannot be discounted." Cyrek also said to the side: "The Czech government must deal with the Sudetenland problem in accordance with the principle of national self-determination. If we cannot satisfy us, then we can only use force. Come to help our Germanic compatriots, we can't wait any longer."
"Not only the Sudetenland, but also other regions in the Czech Republic. Those areas where we Germans live must be handled in accordance with the principle of national self-determination!" Cyrek followed, turning his mind to this request, Also followed up.
Hearing this, Chamberlain's heart shook.
Nima, push your nose to your face! Originally, I was talking about the Sudetenland. Now, the Germans are even more shameless! In the Czech Republic, in addition to the Sudetenland, there are also some areas where the Germanic majority are also.
This new proposal once again made Chamberlain a big head.
Cyric looked at Chamberlain's expression and felt extremely refreshed.
Appeasement, appeasement is good! In order to maintain peace, we must feed Germany's appetite! And now, with Chamberlain's mediation, Germany's demands will increase!
Not only the Sudeten area, but also other areas!
These belligerent guys! At this time, Chamberlain is a bit speechless, but it is the same when you think about it. The Sudetenland has belonged to the Czech Republic in recent decades, and the Czechs have always been very unfriendly to the Germans and tried to drive them away.
This time, didn't the Czech Republic want to do this? Give Germany a small amount of land, and then drive all the Germans away?
Now, the Czech Republic gave only a part, which angered these Germans, and they made more demands!
With such big differences of opinion, it seems that neither side will compromise!
Cyric's words shocked the other senior German officials present, and they were frightened. Don't write drafts?
And Hitler~www.novelhall.com~ first understood what Cyric meant. This is still testing the bottom line of the British. Their bottom line is that they will continue to appease for the peace of Europe! No matter how many requests they have, they will agree.
The British, the French, don't want Europe to ignite war again!
In that case, put some pressure on the British!
"Please tell the Czech Republic that our requirements will not change. At the end of this year, December 31 is the deadline." Hitler said: "We hope that the problem will be completely resolved in 37 years. If it is delayed to 38 years, Then we can only use the force in our hands to save our compatriots."
Hitler's attitude is very firm, don't want to delay, give you a deadline!
Now, on December 20, 37, 9 months earlier than in history, Hitler will soon realize his occupation of the Sudetenland! Except for the Sudetenland, there are Germans in other regions, so an explanation must be given!
The unfair treatment of the Germans is now up to Germany to support them!
