Chapter 62

The armies of the Third Reich began to mobilize. Infantry divisions and armored divisions moved westward via railways and roads, heading straight for the Rhine Demilitarized Zone. There is a strong tendency to forcefully enter the Rhine Demilitarized Zone.

This made the armies of the Kingdom of Gaul and the Kingdom of Flanders stationed in the Rhine Demilitarized Zone greatly nervous.

At the same time, the Foreign Minister of the Third Reich, Konstantin von Neuratt, was ordered to go to the Tower City, hoping to negotiate with the Gallic State on the status of the Rhine Demilitarized Zone.

The recent military maneuvers of the Third Reich have attracted the attention of the Gallic Kingdom.

Therefore, Konstantin von Neurat's trip received great attention.

The ruler of the Gallic State Albert Lebrun and the Prime Minister Pierre Frandan, as well as the Minister of Foreign Affairs Boisson and the Chief of Defense General Weygand met with Constantin von Neurat

"Your Excellency Neuratt, our country remains highly concerned about your country’s recent military mobilization. According to the original treaty signed, the Rhine Demilitarized Zone serves as a military buffer zone for both of us. The Third Reich was not allowed to send troops to this area. But now, your country has planned to send troops into the Rhine Demilitarized Zone. This is undoubtedly a violation of the treaty. Your country has even gone further and further on this road. Therefore, we hope that your country can stop troop mobilization. Otherwise, Gaul will use all means to fight back against the provocation of the Third Reich!"Albert Lebrun's attitude is very resolute.

Perhaps because of the compromise on the Saarland issue at the beginning of the year, the senior officials of the Gallic country were very embarrassed.

So this time, they seem to be ready to take a tough turn. Got it

"Your Excellency, the Rhineland is our territory. Our troops cannot be stationed on our own soil, but foreign troops are stationed instead. Don't you think this is a joke? Therefore, we hope that the Gallic State will withdraw its troops from the Rhenish Demilitarized Zone. We guarantee that we will not take military action against the Gallic Kingdom. After all, peace is hard-won and we should all cherish it." said Konstantin von Neuratt

"So, is the Third Reich planning to tear up the treaty?"Admiral Weigang asked.

Constantine von Neuratt shook his head:"No, General, we do not intend to tear up the treaty. However, we hope to correct some inappropriate provisions in the treaty!"

"There is nothing inappropriate about this treaty and no correction is necessary!"Albert Lebrun looked determined.

"Your Excellency, we believe that this article on the Rhine Demilitarized Zone is inappropriate."Constantin von Neuratt was not frightened and continued to argue.

"Your Excellency, if the Third Reich does not recognize this and wants to send troops into the Rhine Demilitarized Zone, it will have extremely dire consequences. Can the Third Reich bear this consequence?"The threat in Albert Lebrun's words is already very obvious.

"Your Excellency, is this a threat of war? asked Konstantin von Neuratt

"If you want to understand it this way, that’s okay! As long as the Third Reich dared to send troops into the Rhine Demilitarized Zone, it would be violating the treaty. Gaul has enough reasons to go to war with you!"

Constantin von Neurat was silent for a moment, then nodded.

"Well, I already know your country's attitude very clearly, and I will convey it to the ruling party of our country. However, I hope you will not underestimate our determination to enter the Rhine Demilitarized Zone. Even if it ends up causing a war, we won’t hesitate!"

Then, Konstantin von Neuratt said goodbye and left

"Your Excellency, it seems that this time the Third Reich is really determined to enter the Rhine Demilitarized Zone."Prime Minister Pierre Frondin looked worried.

Albert Lebrun's expression also turned gloomy.

"These guys are getting more and more ambitious and their appetites are getting bigger and bigger. They have violated the treaty time and time again."

"Your Excellency, if the Third Reich forcibly enters the Rhine Demilitarized Zone, do we really have to fight back? If this happens, I'm afraid it will trigger a war!"Admiral Wei Gang was a little worried.

President Albert Brun couldn't help but frowned.

"If war broke out, could we defeat the Third Reich?"

"Your Excellency, according to the intelligence we have, the Third Reich has completed its military expansion, and their standing strength has even increased to 800,000 people! More than all of us"

"hateful! These guys are blatantly violating the treaty, can't those damn Anglo-Saxons see that?"

President Albert Brun was very angry.

The strength of the Gallic Kingdom alone is not enough to deal with the Third Reich. Even if the Kingdom of Flanders is added, it is not enough.

Therefore, they hope that the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets can Stand firmly on their side.

But the problem is that the attitude of the Empire that the sun never sets makes them very dissatisfied.
