The German people will never forget the humiliation of ceding land. We will quietly wait for the day of revenge.

This is engraved on the stone tablet in Rhine district. For Germans, Rhine district is an unforgettable pain in Germany!

Rhineland refers to the land on both sides of the Rhine River. The Rhine River is the only natural barrier between Germany and France. In order to prevent Germany from attacking France again, the Versailles contract of World War I stipulates that Germany shall not be fortified within 50 kilometers from the East and west sides, and the West Bank shall be occupied by the allies.

In this way, Rhineland has become a demilitarized zone, mainly as a buffer zone and early warning area between Germany and France. Once Germany shows signs of moving troops, France can have plenty of time to rely on the Rhine River for defense.

This is a preventive measure, so the importance of the Rhine is reflected in the political sense.

In 1925, Britain, Germany, Italy, Belgium and other countries concluded the Locarno convention. Germany, France and Belgium promised each other not to destroy the current situation of Germany's western border stipulated in the Versailles peace treaty and prohibited the assembly of troops in the Rhineland demilitarized zone.

Otherwise, it will be regarded as a violation of the Versailles peace treaty, which constitutes an "unprovoked act of aggression". In this case, the violated state party can take corresponding action immediately.

According to this Convention, in 1930, the Allied occupying forces withdrew from the left bank of the Rhine River, and the area officially became a demilitarized zone.

For the Germans, this is of course humiliating, because the Rhineland region is originally German! As a result, Germany can't station any troops here!

They looked at the slowly flowing Rhine, and their hatred was gathering in their hearts!

Anyway, now, Germany's military strength is still quite weak. Germany with only 100000 troops is less than a fraction of France!

At this time, Shrek put forward an extremely bold plan to enter Rhineland!

This is provocation, red fruit provocation!

"In doing so, we are testing the attitude of Britain, France and other countries." "Britain, France, the United States, there are contradictions between them," said Chirac

Britain does not want to see France strong and become a hegemon on the European continent, while the United States does not want Britain and France strong, or how can the United States interfere in European affairs!

Now, if the German army marches into Rhineland, it will annoy France at most! After all, the opposite is France!

"If countries do not respond, then I have taken an important step. The Treaty of Versailles has become a piece of waste paper for us." "We can bypass the Treaty of Versailles and make great strides in developing our military," Chirac said

The attitude of other countries is very important! For France, even if it wants military intervention, it will hesitate, because the Ruhr Industrial Zone was in front of it a few years ago.

At that time, the French proudly drove their troops into the industrial zone and wanted to plunder German industry. As a result, the French found it difficult to fight alone. Not only the Germans resisted, but even Britain and other countries did not support it!

So this time, the French will restrain, restrain, restrain again!

"What if the French send troops?" Asked President Hindenburg.

"Then we'll withdraw immediately." Xierik said faintly: "now, our strength can't compete with the French. This has tested the French attitude, so we should be careful."

"It's a big deal. It's the private behavior of the troops below. The officers involved are dismissed and investigated, so as to calm the anger of the French." Chirac continued, "president, prime minister, if I can, I want to lead the team."

This is a test, test the reaction of the French, test the reaction of other countries. If they don't respond and indulge Germany, Germany will continue to move forward. If they respond strongly, Germany will immediately admit advice, that's it.

Hilrick's plan has been said. Hitler's eyes glittered: "I think hilrick's plan is very good and can be carried out!"

This plan, of course! This is hilrick copying Hitler's plan almost intact! The results at that time were also exciting. France began to tolerate and connive. France did not take any means against Germany! After that, Hitler's footsteps became bigger and bigger, annexing Austria and kicking open the door of Poland!

Now, that's the first step!

Shrek, I'm willing to take all the responsibility! This moved Hindenburg even more. If he failed, Shrek would have to carry all the charges!

"Well, Shrek, I agree with your plan." Hindenburg said, "now, which army do you need to mobilize? I can appoint you as commander of the army. "

"It's still my old army. How about the 98th infantry?" Said Shrek.

At that time, Shrek was the battalion commander of the 19th infantry battalion under the 98th infantry regiment. Now, major Shrek is also a major. Of course, he should command more troops. In particular, if he wants to completely occupy Rhineland, one infantry battalion is not enough, at least one regiment. In history, Hitler dispatched 19 infantry battalions!

"Well, I'll appoint you as the head of the 98th infantry regiment and raise your rank to lieutenant colonel." Hindenburg said.

In the process, defense secretary glena has never spoken. Although he is the Minister of defense, Hindenburg is a marshal granted by the German Emperor, and his position in the army is even higher!

In recent years, Hitler's power has been rising rapidly, and grener has been worried. However, he has nothing to do. Now, he only hopes that Chirac's action will completely fail, which can sober president Hindenburg and stop being fooled by these people in front of him!

Now Shrek is just a small officer, but his potential is quite large. Grana knows that these guys in front of him are ambitious. If they really take full control of the power of Germany, they will certainly start a new war!

In the last World War, Germany has lost a generation. Now, should Germany lose another generation?

Glena, I don't want to fight a world war!

Britain and France certainly do not want to fight a world war. They also lost a whole generation in the last World War!

Damn it, these people in front of us should go to hell!
