Chapter 53

"Your Excellency, the results of the referendum have come out. Ninety-eight percent of the Saar people support returning to the Third Reich!"Deputy Prime Minister Papen was very excited.

"Haha, great. This proves that our Third Reich is still popular."Hess was very happy.

Although there are still 2% of the Saar people who chose Gaul. But the forest is big and there are all kinds of birds, and 98% of the Saar people are willing to return to the Third Reich. , this is already quite good

"Your Excellency, it depends on what the Gauls choose next. Do they comply with public opinion, or stay put?" Paul Goebbels said with a smile

"No matter what the Gauls choose, we must get back the Saarland."Admiral Bromberg said.

Hess nodded:"If the Gauls understand the situation and accept this result, it will naturally be the best. If they don't understand, then we will send troops to take back Thrall. All consequences will be borne by the Gauls themselves."

All the senior officials of the Third Reich nodded repeatedly, and they had already reached a consensus on this point.

"Let the elite troops, including the 1st Armored Division, be mobilized westward. In addition, there is no need to hide the second round of military expansion." Hess said

"Yes, Your Excellency."Admiral Bromberg replied.

He knew that this was deliberately putting pressure on the Gauls to make them retreat.

"Goebbels, mobilizing our people in the Saarland, began to protest and drive out the Gauls." Hess went on to say

"Okay, Your Excellency, I will arrange it."Paul Goebbels nodded.

Next, the Third Reich has already taken action. Then, it depends on how the Gauls choose.

"Gauls, get out! This is our land!"

"Gauls, go back to Gaul!"

"The referendum is over and we are back to the Third Reich!"

"Get out of our land!"

A large number of Saar people gathered in protest outside the Gauls' military camp in Saarland.

Some young and strong men even tried to attack the military camp.

The Gallic army in the military camp was also facing a formidable enemy. One after another Heavy and light machine guns have been set up and aimed at the protesters outside.

"General, those Sal people are crazy. If they attack the military camp, this will pose a great threat to us. I need authorization to give the order to fire in an emergency!" pleaded a Gallic officer

"Bullshit! Those were unarmed civilians. If we shoot, we will be condemned by the international community."A major general shook his head.

"But, General. The order from above is for us to take control of the Saarland." retorted the officer.

"It is now impossible to control Saarland. Almost all the Sal people are against us. Unless, we fire directly and kill all those Sal people. That would trigger a war between us and the Third Reich. When the time comes, I'm afraid we will be the first to be killed!"The major general was furious.

"General, what should we do?"

"Asking the soldiers to exercise restraint, I immediately sent a telegram to the Army Staff for instructions. Oh, God! Why were we sent here!"The major general was greatly depressed.

Iron Tower City and the Gauls also knew the results of the referendum.

This result did not surprise them, but at the same time it also made the senior officials of the Gallic country feel helpless.

Only 2% of Sal People identify with the Gallic Kingdom, which is undoubtedly their failure in the past ten years.

Then, they have only two choices.

Either accept this result and evacuate the Saarland. Or resolutely not withdraw their troops and prepare A war broke out with the Third Reich. The ruler of Gaul, Albert Brun, Prime Minister Pierre Frondin and others were in a very difficult position.

They did not want to evacuate the Saarland. However, they also did not want to fight with the Third Reich. Try their best. In that case, they will inevitably suffer heavy losses and will only let the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets take advantage.

"Your Excellency, we must make a decision earlier. Those Sal people have become very crazy. They protested outside our military camp and even wanted to storm our military camp. In addition, the troops of the Third Reich also began to mobilize. A large number of elite troops are gathering westward. Beyond this, the mobilization of the Third Reich was already very evident. A large number of young and middle-aged men with military service experience received notices to enlist. All this shows that the Third Reich is ready to fight us for the Saarland!"Admiral Wei Gang looked serious.

"asshole! Those damn Germans, do they think they can defeat us?"Albert Lebrun was very angry.

"Your Excellency, the Third Reich may not be the victor, but neither are we."Pierre Frondin said.

Albert Lebrun hesitated, and then said:"Order our troops to evacuate the Saarland!"
