Chapter 64 Our army is back
The Rhineland is a large tract of territory on both sides of the Rhine. These territories belong to Germany! But now, Germany can only watch and cannot control it!
Among them, in addition to rural areas, mainly cities such as Cologne, Koblenz, Frankfurt and Mainz.
Among them, the first thing to occupy, and one of the most important cities in Germany, is Frankfurt!
Frankfurt means the Franks' ferry, and the Franks are a branch of the Germanic people.
It has a long history and can be traced back to around the first year of AD. At that time, the Rhine and the Danube were the northern borders of the Roman Empire. The Romans set up garrison camps here, and this area became a border fortress.
By the 8th century AD, it gradually emerged and became an important political stage for Germany.
For example, during the Holy Roman Empire, Frederick I, nicknamed Barbarossa, was elected as emperor here.
Since 1562, Frankfurt replaced Aachen and became the venue for the emperor's crowning ceremony. Ten emperors were crowned here and ascended the throne of the emperor.
The Holy Roman Empire officially ended in 1806, and then Frankfurt became the residence of the Rhine Federal Government.
It can be said that for the German people, Frankfurt has political significance that is deeply rooted in people's hearts!
At the same time, with the development of the economy, Frankfurt has become a prosperous commercial city and a German exchange and banking center.
Now, the people of Frankfurt go to work normally every day and get off work, but cannot see the army of their own country or the cross flags flying high. They are extremely depressed.
Of course they are all German people, and they yearn for one day they can see the German army again!
And just early in the morning of that day, when it was just dawn, the workers living outside the city and preparing to go to work were riding bicycles and walking on the road, but then they wondered.
Behind them, the sound of a car came!
In this era, bicycles are still the main means of transportation. Only the richest people, companies and other institutions, own cars. In normal times, they only see a few carriages.
When he stopped the bicycle and turned his head, he saw a scene that would never be forgotten for life. Time seemed to be frozen here!
The army is the German army!
The body of the car is dark green. In the cargo box behind the car, a German army in a straight military uniform is looking forward with his head held high!
He was carrying Mauser's rifle on his body, and they wore German military caps and German military flags fluttered fiercely!
The army is our army!
Everyone was shocked, and a passerby shouted loudly: "It's our army, our army is back!"
His tone was pleasantly surprised, his tone was cheerful, and then he shouted loudly: "Long live Germany! Long live the defense force!"
Everyone burst into louder and louder than louder!
It was really shocking. After waiting for a few years, the German army finally entered the Rhineland!
The people of Frankfurt, welcome!
Sitting in the cab in front of the car, Cialick looked at the crowd around him, his heart was also ups and downs.
Just like the Treaty of Shimonoseki in later generations, the Treaty of Versailles is the most shameful treaty for the German people! And now, when we set foot on the land here, we are challenging this treaty!
The people here have been waiting for it for a long time!
Frankfurt, I'm here!
The speed of the fleet is getting slower and slower.
There is no way, there are more and more people on the road.
In the end, the convoy finally couldn't move forward because the crowd had blocked the road.
The German people abide by traffic rules, but today, there are too many people on the streets, almost everyone is rushing towards the streets, and there are more and more people here, and they are all crowded!
The merchants held eggs and apples in their hands and began to stuff them into the hands of the soldiers in the car. The beautiful girls gave their passionate kiss without hesitation. At this moment, everyone was intoxicated!
So Cialek had no choice but to open the car door and stand on the basket.
"Gentlemen, ladies, relatives of Great Germany, I am Cialique, the commander in charge of this team." Cialique said: "At this moment, we have been waiting for a long time. Here, I can only say to you on behalf of the defense force, sorry, we are late."
Cialick's words moved many people very much. This sorry made some people's eyes even more moist.
"It is shameful to have a country but not a defense!" Cialick continued: "Now, our country has come out of the dilemma of the economic crisis, and our national strength is booming. We will never be defeated by the conspiracy of other countries. We must continue to work hard, and we must make our country stronger again. Long live Germany!"
Long live Germany!
More and more people shouted, and the shouts rang out in the sky, flying in Frankfurt, Germany, and across the European continent.
At this moment, all the Germans were extremely excited!
The news also spread to Paris, France.
In the Elysee Palace, there was a quiet place, and everyone felt at a loss.
The Germans dared to openly tear up the Treaty of Versailles and marched into the Rhineland region!
"We must stop the Germans, we can send an infantry division up! According to our original agreement, it is the Germans who are taking the initiative to provoke the war!"
The person who spoke was Henry Philippe Betton. The Battle of Verdun during World War I made Betton famous since then. Now, Betton is already the French Marshal and Minister of the Army.
"Betam, have you forgotten? When we entered the Ruhr Industrial Zone, the whole world was accusing us." Another voice said: "Now, we must not act rashly again!"
At the beginning, the French were arrogant and finally left in shame. Although they had full reasons, justice was in the hearts of people.
So Betan could only breathe aside and didn't say anything anymore. He was already old.
The whole of France is still in an economic crisis, and the people will definitely not want to see a belligerent government. If they fall into war because of this incident, the government will probably be criticized even more severely!
In particular, President Paul Du Mei is the image of a good old man!
So, the discussion this day had no results.
