The Third Reich: The Return of the King
Chapter 16
The handover was completed very quickly, and on December 10, Major Mainz rushed to the headquarters of the German General Staff in Hamburg.
Within two days of taking office, Major Mainz was named by Field Marshal Hindenburg and asked him to negotiate secretly with the Allies in the city of Eitalo, the capital of Gaul.
Of course, the main person in charge of this mission was not Major Mainz, but a Major General named Harut.
Although Mainz was surprised by this, he still gladly accepted the order, and it just so happened that he also wanted to go to Gaul to see, and heard that during the First World War, there were many anti-war demonstrations in Gaul, and at this time the war was over, I don't know what the situation was in the city of Eiffel Tower and Gaul.
As one of the main enemies in the future, you can only truly understand your enemies after going deep into the enemy to investigate on the spot!
On December 12, a secret delegation of the German army arrived at the city of Eiffel Tower.
At this time, Major General Harut finally revealed the purpose of their trip.
It turned out that after the end of the First World War, the Entente side, mainly the Gaul side, demanded severe punishment for those high-ranking German generals who participated in the war, and as the first real power faction in the army at this time, Field Marshal Hindenburg was naturally a thorn in the flesh in the eyes of Gaul, and he wanted to get rid of it soon!
Moreover, the French army suffered a lot in the hands of Field Marshal Hindenburg, during the offensive in May 1918, the German army was once overwhelmed, and the French army lost its armor and armor, and in the case of the imminent victory of the war, the French army lost face in front of the Entente and the whole world, so whether it was out of face-saving retaliation, or from the perspective of completely destroying the German army, the Gauls hoped that Field Marshal Hindenburg would be sent to a military court for trial as a war criminal!
!
However, at this time, most of the German troops in the Rhine region and even the entire Western Front were gathered under the command of Field Marshal Hindenburg, who numbered almost more than 1.2 million people, and in the case of Field Marshal Hindenburg without leaving Cologne, the only way for the Gauls to bring the old marshal to justice was to attack Cologne militarily.
However, this kind of thing was difficult to achieve at this time, and when the Second Reich had already submitted its surrender agreement and publicly surrendered, all the armies, whether it was the army on which the sun never sets, the army of Eagle Sauce, or even Gaul's own army, did not want to continue the war.
But the German army was different, Field Marshal Hindenburg was listed as the second war criminal at this time, once he was tried and convicted by the Gauls, no one could guarantee that the carried away Gauls would not strike at other German generals, in this case, the defeated German army was especially united, and the German troops on the Western Front expressed their support for Field Marshal Hindenburg, and were even willing to fight for him under his command!
This situation made the Entente side very difficult, if they attacked by force, their own army did not have the will to fight, but the German army had the same hatred, they had to face the German army with more than one million, Jedi counterattack, even if they were determined to solve this German army, at least one or two million troops would have to be mobilized, which would cost huge manpower, material and financial resources.
The war has been fought so far, not only has the Second Empire collapsed, but all European countries have been exhausted, and the empire that has been the world hegemon for hundreds of years has even lost its position as the world hegemon because of this war, and they have collected a lot of manpower and materials from various colonies for this war, which has made the colonies complain, and in order to raise military funds, they have made a large number of war loans to Eagle Sauce and owe a large amount of debt.
These have dealt a heavy blow to the empire on which the sun never sets, making them very demoralized, at this time in the face of more than a million German troops, the British army said that they would not attack anything, after all, if this is won, then it is okay to say, but if they lose, it will be a big shame!
As a result, there was some discontent within the Entente against the Gaul demands, and apart from the Gauls themselves, neither the sun set nor the eagle sauce were very supportive of the Gauls' proposals.
Under these circumstances, Field Marshal Hindenburg began to try to send someone over to contact the people of the Entente to see if a secret agreement could be reached that would solve the problem once and for all.
After listening to Harut's explanation, Major Mainz finally understood in his heart.
The Entente countries were not of the same mind, and each country had its own small calculations.
As the traditional hegemon on the European continent, the Gauls were defeated by Prussia in the Franco-Prussian War, and they naturally hated Hans to the marrow, so they had the toughest attitude towards Germany, and they wanted to completely erase Hans from the map.
Because of this position, the Gauls were the most hard-line country against Germany in all circumstances.
The situation of the Empire on which the sun never sets is different, they are not a country on the European continent, but an island country, and they have played a centuries-old strategy of continental equilibrium.
The sun never sets is very clear that a small island country does not have the ability to compete with the powerful countries on the European continent, so in order to avoid the emergence of a unified regime on the European continent, they will do their best to act as a-stirring stick to sabotage or even provoke relations between European countries.
For example, during the Napoleonic Empire, the Gauls were the strongest, and before the sun set, they encircled the Holy Ros, Prussia, Tsarist Russia and other countries to besiege Gaul, and when the Franco-Prussian War ended, the Gauls began to decline and Hans began to rise, the Sunless people immediately adjusted their strategies and began to support Gaul, and even allied with Gaul to jointly suppress the newly rising Second Empire, which posed a huge threat to the hegemony of the sunset.
At this time, since the Second Empire has been defeated, the national strength of the entire Hans Empire will inevitably decline significantly, in this case, if Hans is knocked to death with a stick, then the cheaper ones can only be the Gauls next door, and the Gauls will definitely become the hegemon of the European continent at that time, and the Gauls are afraid that the first thing they will do is to turn their guns and beat the empire on which the sun never sets.
Therefore, in order to avoid an imbalance in the situation in Europe, the Sun Never Sets does not advocate taking too many measures against Germany, at least to retain part of Hans's strength, so that they can become the second in Europe, and help the sun never set to suppress Gaul, which has won a big victory.
As for Eagle Sauce in North America, their idea is even simpler, the traditional countries of Europe are not in their sphere of influence, and they have no way to meddle in Europe's mistakes, so the Eagle Sauce people intend to increase Eagle Sauce's voice in the world under the guise that in order to avoid war, it is necessary to establish an international alliance.
When President Eagle saw that Gaul and the Sun Never Sets began to discuss the division of the Second Empire's colonies in Africa and elsewhere immediately after the end of the war, he immediately understood the attitude of these two countries, and at the same time was very dissatisfied with Britain and France.
At this time, the Weimar Republic had just been established, and it was like an abandoned baby in the international community, and the icing on the cake was not as good as charcoal in the snow, for the sake of Eagle Sauce's own interests, they advocated forgiveness with Germany and tried to establish good relations with Germany, so as to facilitate Eagle Sauce to earn a lot of commercial benefits in the process of rebuilding the Weimar Republic.
The conflict of interests between the three major powers of the Entente became an opportunity for Hans, and if he could make good use of it, he might be able to recover the interests of the empire and reduce the losses as much as possible!
