The Rise of the Third Reich

"... Indeed, if 46 million British people demand to rule 40 million square kilometers of land, then," said Adolf Hitler, the German leader and chancellor, on the podium in the Grand Conference Hall of the Palais des Nations in Geneva, in a very gentle and conciliatory tone, with his palms facing outward and his hands raised. "It is also understandable that 100 million Germans demand to peacefully cultivate 900,000 square kilometers of land that historically belonged to them."

"900,000 square kilometers" is based on the original territory of the Second German Empire (excluding Alsace-Lorraine), merging part of the Austrian Imperial Palace territory (Austria, Bohemia, Western Ukraine, Slovenia), the Baltic States (excluding Lithuania), and Luxembourg, which is about 900,000 square kilometers. This is the current territorial demand of the Third Reich in Europe. In Hitler's words, this is of course Germany's "final demand" for territory.

However, in addition to this "900,000 square kilometers", Hitler and Hersmann also opened a "back door" for the German Empire to expand its territory - the monarch alliance. At present, Germany has formed a monarch alliance with four countries. They are the Kingdom of Poland (including Russian Poland and Western Galicia), the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and the Kingdom of Galicia-Ukraine (Western Ukraine) and the Grand Duchy of Slovakia. These four countries will have independent parliaments, governments and defense forces (militia), and can retain their own national languages ​​and cultures (German is the second language).

But at the same time, the four countries do not have their own central banks. The Mark (or European Mark) is the only legal currency in circulation. Citizens of the four countries are obliged to join the Imperial Army (German Army), and the governments of the four countries must also pay a certain amount of defense taxes to the central government of the empire. In addition, citizens of these four countries can also enter and exit the German Empire freely, and work, study and live in the German Empire.

In fact, these four countries that regard the German emperor as their monarch can also be regarded as part of Germany. Counting them, the German Empire has more than 1.2 million square kilometers of land, and the population will increase to 130 million.

In addition, there are millions of Jews holding Israeli passports on the land of the German Empire (including the four co-monarchy alliance countries).

According to the "Racial Law" of the German Empire, they cannot have German (including the four co-monarchy alliance countries) nationality. Unless they convert to Christianity (Protestantism, Catholicism and Orthodoxy are all acceptable), speak fluent German and are willing to fight for Germany.

However, Jews holding Israeli passports will not be sent to concentration camps, let alone slaughtered like livestock. According to the plans of the Nazi Party and the German military, most of these people will be sent to the State of Israel, which will be established on the land of Palestine in the future. But that is a matter of the future. Now there is a shortage of labor in Germany, so these have become "restricted" (with job restrictions) foreign workers.

"... In fact, everyone knows the fact that our demands and the order we want to restore are reasonable. The territorial and political structure of Europe before the First World War was formed by more than a thousand years of historical evolution after the collapse of the Roman Empire. Although this structure allows people of different nationalities to live in one country, and allows different countries to unite and depend on each other, it may not be right in the eyes of some New Worlders and islanders who pretend not to understand European history, but this is the reality of Europe, a reality that is beneficial to everyone!"

Hitler spoke faster and faster, and seemed a little excited. He waved his fists violently and said in a sarcastic tone: "But this While some people claimed that nations wanted self-determination and smashed the ancient European countries that had existed for 800 to 1,000 years under the guise of national self-determination, they themselves were enslaving hundreds of millions of black, brown and yellow people.

Is national self-determination only applicable to white people in Europe and not to other races? I think Prime Minister Churchill and the late US President Wilson must have thought so. This is their way of thinking. This is imperialism!

This is the imperialism we are forced to go to war against! It is also the imperialism that will end at the Geneva Peace Conference! "

As soon as Hitler's opening speech ended, thunderous applause rang out in the conference hall of the Palais des Nations. Hopkins, deputy head of the US delegation attending the conference, was one of the few people in the venue who did not applaud. He was carefully looking at the delegations of various countries attending the conference.

Now British Prime Minister Churchill has publicly questioned that the Geneva League of Nations was controlled by Germany, and called on member states of the League of Nations to hold a meeting in Toronto, Canada, and move the headquarters of the League of Nations to Canada.

Therefore, not all members of the League of Nations sent representatives to attend the Geneva Peace Conference, but there were still many representatives from various countries in Geneva! Not only did the two heavyweight countries, the Soviet Union and Japan, ignore Britain's "warning" and send delegations to attend the Geneva Conference (Japan not only came by itself, but also brought an Annanite wearing strange clothes and said he was the legitimate emperor of French Indochina). Moreover, many second- and third-rate countries outside Europe, such as China, Siam, Brazil, Argentina and Iran, ignored the arrogant British Empire and sent delegations. And Turkey, which is half European and half Asian, also sent a large delegation, led by their Prime Minister Refik Saidam himself - this is obviously a very bad sign! Once Turkey is won over by Germany, the German army will be able to enter the Middle East unimpeded by land and get the oil they want. There is no doubt that the British Empire is facing an unprecedented crisis!

While Hitler was delivering his speech, the draft of the "Geneva Peace Treaty" was distributed by the staff of the Palais des Nations to all members of the delegation participating in the peace conference.

Harry Hopkins read it carefully and found some very interesting contents.

That night, Hopkins wrote in his report:

The Germans did a very interesting thing. They asked the defeated French to use democratic voting to choose the terms of surrender. They gave several options in the draft of the Treaty of Geneva - each of which was, of course, very difficult for France. Now the Germans are asking the French people to hold a one-man, one-vote referendum to choose between a bunch of imposed and unjust terms of surrender. This is simply an insult to the democratic system and the referendum, but this approach is in line with German nature.

By the way, these proud Germans also gave the French the option of saying 'no'. They can vote to take up arms and continue to resist! If I were French, I would definitely vote for the country to continue fighting.

Among the harsh peace conditions given by the Germans, there is also a combination that looks gentle to cowardly people. I guess there's a good chance those useless French people would vote for such conditions.

First, the Germans would not occupy large tracts of mainland France. In addition to the necessary cession of Alsace-Lorraine, the Germans in mainland France only occupied Brest, Calais, and Dunkirk on the Brittany Peninsula as bases for operations against the British.

These three territories will temporarily transfer sovereignty to Germany in the name of "Lease" until Germany defeats the British and then returns them. The rest of the French mainland can be controlled by the French government.

Secondly, Germany can conditionally exempt France from its obligation to return reparations and "plundered materials".

The condition is that France joins the European Customs Union and the European Monetary Union (of course not immediately, but there is a process of joining) - this means that France has permanently lost its tariff autonomy and monetary autonomy, and the Bank of France will cooperate with the Deutsche Reichsbank and the Central Bank of Belgium. Central banks of European countries such as the Central Bank of Poland, the Central Bank of Poland, and possibly the Central Bank of Hungary, as well as the European Development Bank in Switzerland, will merge to form a unified European Central Bank. The headquarters of the European Central Bank is now planned to be established in Amsterdam, the Netherlands...if the Netherlands is also willing to join the European Customs Union and Monetary Union!

Thirdly, Germany requested part of the French fleet - it could be a lease, and the fleet could be operated by French People's Volunteers!

What Germany wants is the battleship "Richelieu", the battleship "Jean Bart", the battleship "Dunkirk", the battleship "Strasbourg" and a dozen other cruisers and destroyers. In this way they can form a powerful Mediterranean fleet.

It should be noted, however, that the Germans did not demand them immediately. According to the provisions of the draft "Geneva Treaty", the French must carry out modernization, modification and overhaul according to the requirements of the German Navy before delivering warships (the cost shall be borne by the French government), and at the same time, these ships must be assigned volunteers.

Volunteers will be recruited from French naval personnel and will be able to operate and command these ships after undergoing a six-month "national socialist education." And will fight for Germany in the name of "volunteers". France itself can continue to remain "neutral", and the vast majority of French people can continue to live a comfortable and comfortable life. I believe this is very attractive to French voters!

The last attractive offer was the disposal of Alsace-Lorraine, which would become the future capital of the European Community, belonging neither to Germany nor to France, but to all of Europe.

I think the residents of Alsace-Lorraine will definitely vote in favor (of course they can vote) so that their hometown will never again become a major battleground in a world war and will also receive a lot of investment. Plus, being the capital of the European Community probably means a lot of great job opportunities.

At the end of the report, Harry Hopkins told Roosevelt with great certainty: I have no expectations for the results of the French referendum. The Germans have obviously taken the first step to integrate Europe, and they are doing quite well!
