January 8th, 1935. There was only one week left before the Saar Region's plebiscus.
Bouison, the foreign minister of Gaul, arrived in Bolin and officially held an emergency consultation with the Third Reich on the issue of the Saar Region's plebiscus.
Hess, the governor of the Third Reich, personally met with Bouison. He wanted to see what the Gauls wanted to do.
"Your Excellency, we have already occupied Saar Region for seventeen years. After so many years, the citizens of Saar have gotten used to our rule and even acknowledged it. As far as I know, many citizens of Saar consider themselves to be Gauls. Under such circumstances, there was no need to hold a national vote. That would only make the Third Reich more embarrassed. Therefore, we think that we should just cancel the plebiscus. Follow the wishes of the citizens of Saar Region and let Saar Region join Gaul. This is the best outcome for us!”Bouison smiled.
Hess's face darkened. It was said that a diplomat had to be thick-skinned.
However, this guy in front of him could no longer be described as thick-skinned. He was simply shameless to the extreme!
"Your Excellency, as far as I know, the citizens of Saar are not willing to join Gaul as you said, right? They had long been looking forward to returning to the Third Reich. Your country has a good plan, wanting to annex the territory of the Third Reich.”
Having been exposed by Hess, Bouison's expression turned ugly, and the smile on his face disappeared.
"Your Excellency, I have come with great sincerity. Gaul hoped to live in peace with the Third Reich.”Bouillon's words were clearly threatening.
"Peace? We also love peace. However, if we have to exchange our territory and citizens for such peace, we would rather not.”Hess was very firm on this issue.
Bouillon looked at Hess coldly.
"Your Excellency, according to the information we have, your country has begun to openly violate the Versailles Contract. The number of your National Defense Force has already exceeded 100,000. If we want to pursue this matter, we can even declare war on your country!”Bouison warned.
"Mr. President, can I take this as a threat?”Hess asked.
"No, Your Excellency, this is not a threat, but advice, a kind advice!”Bouison shook his head.
However, Hess knew that the Gauls were warning the Third Reich.
They demanded that the Third Reich give up Saar as a bargaining chip for the Gaul Kingdom not to pursue the Third Reich's violation of the Versailles treaty.
Hess took a deep breath and said,""Your Excellency, the Versailles Contract was an unfair treaty that the victorious country forced us to sign. It was unfair. This treaty has caused our people to suffer.”
"Your Excellency, does this mean that your country does not intend to recognize the Versailles Contract?”Bouillon's tone became aggressive.
"No, Your Excellency. We will not deny the Versailles Contract. However, I think there are some unreasonable places that should be changed!”Hess said.
If he could, he would of course tear up the Versailles Contract.
However, the Third Reich's strength was still far from being restored. If the Versailles Contract was torn up now and war broke out, it would be very disadvantageous to the Third Reich.
Therefore, he could only endure it for the time being.
"Your Excellency, the treaty has already been signed. It's impossible to change it now!”Bouison said.
The greatest effect of the Versailles treaty was to weaken the Third Reich.
This was very beneficial to the Gaul Kingdom, so they naturally would not agree to the change.
"Mr. Chief, the Saar Region's plebiscus is about to begin. The people there looked forward to returning to the Third Reich. The Third Reich would never abandon them!”Hess 'attitude was already very clear.
"Your Excellency, don't you need to reconsider?”Bouison asked.
Hess shook his head. The Third Reich would never compromise!”
"Alright, Your Excellency. I hope you won't regret your choice today!”After Bouillon finished speaking, he stood up and said goodbye.
Naturally, he already knew Hess's attitude, so there was no need to waste any more time.
Looking at Bouison's back as he left, Hess's face turned ashen.
"Damn Gaul, you are too arrogant. Do you really think that you can bully the Third Reich as you please? Mr. Bowman, tell General Bromberg that the second phase of the expansion plan can begin!”Hess said.
"Yes, Your Excellency!" Martin Bowman replied.
If war was to break out, the Third Reich's second phase of military expansion had to be completed. This way, the National Defense Force would have 800,000 soldiers. Even against the Gauls, he would definitely have the strength to fight and even defeat them.
