I'm playing whack-a-mole in Siberia

Chapter 874 Be Prepared
The French have openly declared that they would rather accept German rule than have Borum.

If Britain continues to cling to France, it will sooner or later be dragged into the abyss by France.

The British government and the public have fully realized this, so after the end of the Battle of Poland, Britain took active action, hoping to get help from Russia and the United States.

Unlike Chamberlain, Churchill was a staunch advocate of war and would not accept any form of surrender. Even if France and Poland were to fail as quickly as he did, Churchill would still persevere to the end.

Judging from the end of the Battle of Poland, Germany will launch the next round of offensive at the latest in April next year.

As to whether Germany's target at that time will be Russia or France, Churchill is not sure now.

Churchill certainly hoped that Germany would launch a direct attack on Russia, but this was not realistic. Compared with Russia, France was obviously weaker.

"Germany is negotiating with France. Once an agreement is reached between Germany and France, the war will be far away from Europe."

Chamberlain still had unrealistic fantasies about mustaches.

"This is a trap set by the Germans. Once France loses its vigilance, our troops in Europe will be wiped out."

Churchill suggested withdrawing troops from Europe and defending the British mainland by relying on the English Channel.

Since the outbreak of the war, Britain has sent 25 troops to Europe.

There are currently more than 200 million British troops undergoing training in the UK and overseas colonies.

"No, no, no, we cannot abandon our allies."

Chamberlain was distraught and he didn't want to break his promise.

On December 12, Germany and France launched a new round of negotiations on the European security situation.

Almost at the same time, 40 British MPs jointly proposed a motion of no confidence against Chamberlain in the British Parliament, demanding that Chamberlain resign.

When speaking in parliament, a member of parliament quoted Cromwell's famous words when he dissolved Parliament: You have sat here for too long and have not done anything good. Go away, let us tell you in the name of God, get out!
George didn't care about the British farce, but was more concerned about the verbal battle between the Kingdom of Greece and the Kingdom of Romania.

Although both the Kingdom of Greece and the Kingdom of Romania threatened war with each other, due to the efforts of Russia and the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, no conflict broke out between the Kingdom of Greece and the Kingdom of Romania, and the war remained at the verbal stage.

Following the seizure of the Bucharest, the Kingdom of Greece successively detained six merchant ships and tankers owned by Carol.

The destination of these merchant ships and tankers is Germany.

Carol was almost mad with anger, and actually asked Boris to allow the Romanian army to pass through Yugoslavia and launch a war against Greece.

Polis would certainly not agree to such an outrageous request.

So after entering winter, Carol actually transferred some of his anger towards the Kingdom of Greece to Yugoslavia.

Alexander took a transport plane and arrived in Russia via Persia.

The Grand Principality of Yuriev and Australia have begun partial mobilization. Alexander has mobilized 40 troops in the Grand Principality of Yuriev and is training them.

The Grand Principality of Yuriev, like Russia, has a compulsory military service system. Soldiers retire after two years of active service and must remain on the reserve list for another 10 years.

The 40 people mobilized by Alexander were all young and middle-aged people under the age of 35.

Like the Grand Duchy of Yuriev, Goryeo has also begun mobilizing 60 troops.

"What's going on with the negotiations between the French and the Germans?"

Alexander didn't know much about the situation in France.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the peace signal sent by Germany is a complete trap.

Given that Germany had repeatedly broken its promises, Alexander didn't know why the French were so stupid as to continue to be fooled by the Germans.

"The situation in France is more complicated. The French are tired of the war."

George really couldn't understand. Surrender was like domestic violence. Once it happened the first time, it would happen countless times.

The only thing George is curious about now is whether France will send Charles de Gaulle to North Africa to open a new base, as in another time and space.

"So, the French are going to surrender?"

Alexander was surprised. If France really did this, it would become a laughing stock of the whole world.

"The French still have to resist."

George waited for the French to perform. George thought that Germany would turn around after annexing Poland, but he unexpectedly received news that Germany was gathering troops on the Jutland Peninsula.

After the last World War, Russia gained an enclave on the Jutland Peninsula and successfully broke through the restrictions of the Baltic Sea.

Germany's military buildup should not be a threat to Russia, but to Denmark and Norway.

Germany attacked Norway to protect Germany's iron ore supply.

Norway is also an ally of the United Kingdom. Once Germany attacks Norway, the value of the United Kingdom's promise will be tested once again.

Soon, Ye Zhu received little Karl's explanation.

Little Karl was very happy that the negotiations between Germany and France were going smoothly.

"Whether Russia is allied with Germany or not, we will attack the British mainland after defeating France."

Karl the Younger still did not give up the alliance with Russia.

"I wish you all the best."

George was sorry that the information provided by Alpha indicated that Germany had begun to formulate the Barbarossa Plan against Russia.

Although Russia also had similar combat plans against Germany, Plan Barbarossa was obviously different, and the probability of Germany implementing it was very high.

Russia’s military academy even has military chess simulations targeting the United States. The combat plans are even more diverse. Not only Russia’s neighbors, but even the United States are Russia’s imaginary enemies.

The Barbarossa Plan was drafted by Paulus, the First Quartermaster General of the German Army General Staff, and is currently being improved.

What made George very dissatisfied was that after conquering Poland, Germany quickly recruited soldiers in Poland.

George didn't know why, because the three partitions of Poland were all led by Germany, and this war against Poland was also initiated by Germany.

But I don't know why Poland hates Russia much more than Germany.

After the mustache man ordered the conscription, the Poles were so enthusiastic about joining the army. When the Polish government mobilized back then, it was not as active as it is now.

As the German army's strength was rapidly expanding, Paulus had to constantly modify the Barbarossa Plan to ensure that it could mobilize all of Germany's strength.

Russia's battle plan against Germany is "Thunderstorm".

Like Germany, Russia also planned to launch an attack on France at the same time that Germany defeated France.

Many of the mustache man's movements do have traces that can be followed.

Denmark also noticed the German army gathering on the Jutland Peninsula and took the initiative to ask Russia for help to protect Denmark's security.

Vasily rejected Denmark's request on the grounds that Denmark refused to provide protection to Russia's last Tsar, Nicholas II.

Nicholas' mother was a Danish princess, and the Danish king at the time was Nicholas' uncle.

Even with this special relationship, Denmark refused to offer protection to Nicholas, a grudge that all Russians remember.

A country like Denmark is destined to be despised by everyone.

When Denmark's request for protection from Russia failed, it turned to ask for protection from Britain.

London rejected the Danish demands.

What George did not expect was that Denmark did not work hard to become self-reliant, but instead signed an alliance with Germany and took the initiative to join the German group.

The decision was strongly opposed by Norway.

After Denmark joins the German group, Norway will face the threat of German troops.

Churchill could choose not to save Denmark, but he could not ignore Norway.

On March 3, just as the British House of Commons was voting on a motion of no confidence in Chamberlain, Churchill ordered the Royal Navy to send 20 newly trained troops to Norway to help Norway strengthen its defense.

This decision was again opposed by France.

France hopes that Britain will send these newly trained troops to France.

Churchill was curious. You have already reached a new version of the Franco-German Non-Aggression Pact with Germany, so why are you still worried about a German invasion?
