"Kurt, Ludwig, we have been preparing for so long and have such great power, but we still can't get rid of our dependence on the Soviet Union" At 77 Wilhelmstrasse, inside the Chancellery, Adolf Hitler carefully read the text of the entire green plan, and then sighed helplessly.
This green plan is a typical battle plan in the style of the General Staff, which is exhaustive, takes into account all difficulties, and gives a seemingly feasible solution to the Soviet Union By forming an alliance with the Soviet Union, Germany would be invincible, even if it went to war with Great Britain, France, Italy, and Poland at the same time.
"Mr.
Chancellor, the Soviet Union is only a last resort," Hersmann said to Adolf Hitler, who had always been anti-Soviet, "and if all goes well, we will most likely complete the annexation of the Czech Republic without much effort." ” Hitler looked at Hersmann and Schleicher, "But we still have to sign a secret treaty with the Soviet Union, and this is the first step in our alliance with the Soviet Union, right?"
Historically, although Hitler colluded with the Soviet Union to partition Poland, he did not sign an alliance treaty with the Soviet Union after all, so the Soviet Union was able to maintain its neutrality in favor of Germany at the beginning of World War II.
Fortunately, the Turks were not as confused as the British and French, did not agree to lend the airport, thereby saving the "free world".
"Yes," Defense Minister Schleicher was also a pro-Soviet faction, and Soviet-German cooperation was promoted by him, telling Adolf Hitler, "using the implementation of the green program to conclude a secret alliance with the Soviet Union, and indeed to prepare for an open alliance in the future."
Both the Ministry of Defense and the General Staff believed that a formal treaty of alliance with the Soviet Union should be concluded before the attack on Poland.
If Germany was at war with England and France because of the attack on Poland, then the Soviet Union should also declare war on Britain and France under the treaty."
Using the partition of Poland to draw the Soviet Union into war with Britain and France was the grand strategy of Hersmann and Schleicher, and even if the Soviet Union only declared war without war, it could still exert great psychological pressure on Britain and France.
Even if Hitler's "pro-British line" was carried out, and negotiations with Britain were sought after the defeat of France, it was only possible to achieve this under the condition of the Soviet Union.
"But the Soviets can't help us against France," Adolf Hitler frowned.
"This is determined by the politics of Europe, and the partition of Poland between Germany and Russia is inevitable, and as long as these two countries are strong enough, Poland will definitely become a victim.
But after Russia and Germany completed the partition of Poland, and Germany was strong enough, then the Franco-Russian alliance was inevitable. ” "But this does not prevent us from forming an alliance before the elimination of Poland," Hersman shrugged.
"Poland is so powerful now, with 1.5 million standing troops, more than 50 million people, and more than 700,000 square kilometers of land.
There is still an impregnable Pilsudski line on the Soviet-Polish border, and such a powerful country does not need an alliance between the Soviet Union and Germany to defeat As for what happened after the defeat of Poland, in fact, there are many possibilities, and the General Staff already has a corresponding plan. ” Hersman knew that a Soviet-French alliance was practically impossible, because both betrayal and alliance had a price to pay and required long bargaining.
But France in World War II simply did not have such time to slowly grind with the Soviet Union, and the French would be defeated very quickly.
And after the defeat of France.
The German Army had basically no opponents in the western part of the European continent, and it was impossible for Britain to counterattack until the United States entered the war.
Under these circumstances, there was a great risk that the Soviet Union would go to war with Germany.
And high-risk things usually have high returns, and the United Kingdom, the United States, and the Soviet Union will discuss the issue of "returns" for a long time.
After all, the British and American governments are all governed by parliaments, and it is impossible for Roosevelt and Churchill to be in charge and casually send a large amount of supplies to the Soviet Union.
Germany and Italy were able to use this time to secure victories in the Mediterranean and the Middle East.
After the victory of Germany and Italy in the Mediterranean and the Middle East, even if the alliance with the Soviet Union broke down, Germany would be able to remain undefeated.
This is Hersmann's plan for World War II, and it is certainly the most "wishful" of many plans.
"Mr.
Prime Minister, you need not worry too much about the situation after the destruction of Poland."
Defense Minister Kurt von Schleicher saw that Hitler was reluctant to nod.
So there were words of "relief", "If we form a formal alliance with the Soviet Union, Britain and France may not go to war with us for Poland."
Perhaps the day of Poland's defeat would be the time of peace in Europe. ” "Yes.
This could be a very big deal.
Hersmann echoed, "If Russia and Germany had sided in 1914, war in Europe would have probably not happened." ” "I hope so" Adolf Hitler thought for a moment, thinking that this possibility existed in the original history, and he did not want to go to war over the partition of Poland with Britain and France.
"Okay.
You convinced me.
Adolf Hitler was silent for a moment, as if making a final decision.
I've approved the green plan, Ludwig, and I'll arrange for Ribbentrop, the no-to ambassador, to go with you to discuss the secret Soviet-German agreement with Tukhachevsky.
This agreement should form the basis for a formal alliance between Germany and the Soviet Union in the future. ” The secret Soviet-German agreement was discussed at Hersman's estate in Tsosen, which was very secluded, because it was close to the General Staff, so it was in a military alert zone, and there was a telephone hotline to the Presidential Palace, the Chancellery, the General Staff, and the Ministry of Defense.
After visiting the National Naval Shipyard in Wilhelmshaven, after visiting the site of the National Automobile Factory, Tukhachevsky went to visit the shipyard where the construction of the battleship Scharnhorst was under construction, and Tukhachevsky took his delegation and radio station from the Kaiserhof Hotel in Berlin to the Heinsberg Hersmann estate in Tsosen, occupying an independent three-story building, and also set up a radio station in this three-story building to keep in touch with Moscow at any time.
In the reception room, Tukhachevsky sat at the table, reading word for word a telegram that had just arrived from Moscow.
The content of the telegram was an instruction to conclude a secret Soviet-German agreement.
Stalin said in the telegram: The political bureau has agreed on the conclusion of a secret agreement and the start of negotiations for a formal alliance.
We all agreed that the formation of the Berlin-Moscow Socialist Axis was necessary for the elimination of White Poland and the recovery of Right-Bank Ukraine, Western Ukraine, Western Belarus and Finland.
Therefore, we should ally ourselves with Germany, which is at the heart of the current Soviet foreign policy "Comrade Tukhachevsky," said Mrs.
Kollontai, who was the ambassador to Germany and, naturally, a central figure in the negotiations, sat on a fluffy sofa, and therefore had already read the telegram.
"The decision has been made by the political bureau and I think we should sign an agreement with the Germans as soon as possible."

Tukhachevsky put down the copy of the telegram in his hand, he actually had reservations.
Because he was one of the very few military experts in the Soviet Union who really understood mechanized warfare.
Therefore, he knew that the Polish army, which was at the level of World War I in terms of tactics and equipment, was actually a very weak opponent, and if it was attacked by the German and Soviet mechanized armies, it was likely to collapse within a few weeks, so there would not be a long and hard war in Poland.
It is quite possible that the Soviet Union and Germany will achieve victory without preparation "The agreement must be signed," Berzin did not understand mechanized warfare, so he supported the wise decision of the political situation in his heart.
"This is the only way to regain lost territory, and it must be regained, and this agreement will also benefit our work in Slovakia and Spain."
Berzin came with a special mission, not only to negotiate with Germany, but also to help the Slovak Bolsheviks, in fact, the Hungarian Bolsheviks and the Spanish Left Front.
"It will be difficult for Spain and Slovakia to succeed," Tukhachevsky shook his head, "and the Germans will not support our actions in Spain and Slovakia." ” "We can ask for it in the secret agreement."
Belzin said.
"Only mention of Spain," Kollontai reminded, "is impossible in Slovakia, which would undermine our cooperative relationship with Germany." ” "Only Spain," Berzin said, "should be asked that Germany refrain from providing military and financial assistance to the Spanish right." ” "Let's try," Mr.
Colontai said, "but Italy will most likely interfere with Mussolini's self-assertion of being the hegemon of the Mediterranean." ” Belzin lit a cigarette and took a few puffs, "The fewer the enemy, the better." ” "Then we will raise the question of Spain at tomorrow's talks."
Colontai thought about it, and suddenly thought of something, "But the Political Bureau did not make a request in this regard."
It's strange that the veteran Korentai has already found out the problem, but Berzin doesn't care.
"Let me ask again," said Berzin, "that a socialist Spain is always in our favour, and that is the task entrusted to me by the Political Bureau." ” Colontai shook his head slightly, "Spain's issue has nothing to do with the Soviet-German negotiating team, I am the ambassador to Germany, and I don't know about this matter." ” "Okay," Belzin looked at the woman who was getting older and more conservative, not only was she conservative on the issue of men and women, but now Kollentai had become cautious, doing whatever was instructed from above, and pushing things out as much as possible without instructions, without any responsibility.
"Then don't sign the telegram."
"Alright," Curente sighed, "so be it." ” t1706231537:
