Defense Minister Hans's statement seemed like he was giving up on himself, but in fact he was putting the country of Gaul on the fire!
His words made it clear that the Gauls intended to destroy Hans, and the emasculated army in Hans' hands at this time could not be the opponent of the Gauls. Since it was not an opponent, then he simply did not want this army. , lie down and wait for you to kill me!
The German army's statement was almost a self-defeating way.
However, the German army gave up on its own, but other countries may not give up!
Governments of all countries are not fools. If you think about it carefully, you will know the purpose of this behavior of the Gauls!
The Krupp Arms Factory was a very important military industrial enterprise in the Second Empire during World War I. Not only the Gauls suffered a great loss from the weapons produced by Krupp, but also the Allied Powers.
At that time, various countries had proposals to dismantle the Krupp factory and completely remove this arm of the German army!
However, this proposal was not passed in the end, and was replaced by extremely strict restrictions on the Krupp factory and the German army, which greatly restricted the weapons production of the Krupp factory. This made Krupp at this time far inferior to before. The scenery of Krupp is over!
Krupp is most famous for their artillery, especially the large-caliber artillery. However, due to the restrictions of the Treaty of Versailles, these items are no longer allowed to be produced at this time, and Krupp can only produce some small-caliber artillery. , and export is not yet allowed.
The German army itself only had 100,000 people and could not use many weapons at all. This caused Krupp to lose most of its orders. Under such circumstances, this world-famous arsenal was going downhill almost every day, even if it was not used. Even if the French army takes action, they won't be able to hold on for long!
However, in this case, the Gauls still took action, and the intention behind this has to make people think deeply!
After World War I, the Gauls had used the Treaty of Versailles to destroy most of Hans's army, but at this time they were still aggressively trying to destroy all Hans's domestic military industry. Their purpose may not just be to destroy Hans. It's just an army, maybe they are going for the entire Hans!
This signal made both Sun Bu Luo and Ying Jiang feel a little uneasy. They felt that they had to do something to warn the Gauls!
On July, the Eagles in North America publicly condemned the Gauls for killing innocent people indiscriminately and resorting to violence to innocent civilians. Such behavior is not recognized by the Eagles government and cannot be tolerated!
Immediately afterwards, the Empire of the Sun Never Sets expressed its regret for what the Gauls had done.
Although they did not condemn Gaul, they rarely criticized the behavior of their allies, believing that the Gauls' urging the civilians to harm was crazy and unnecessary!
Instead of siding with their allies, they sided with Hans, which made the Gauls very unhappy.
"Humph, what does the sun never set mean? They had agreed to work together to weaken the German army, so why did they go back on their word now?"
Marshal Foch was very dissatisfied with the statement of the Sun Never Sets and the Eagle. He was already very angry when something like this happened to Hans!
Back to three days ago, on July 3, the Allied Arms Control Commission expressed An intelligence was received, which showed that the Krupp factory had received a batch of new orders. The items purchased in this order looked very much like tanks!
This news made the French army representatives attach great importance to it. The tanks during World War I were very popular in all countries. It is a weapon that is valued, and it is also a weapon that is explicitly prohibited from production and possession by the Treaty of Versailles. Krupp secretly produces this thing at this time, and there must be someone behind it. The
French army representative quickly thought of Hans's. The young Minister of Defense was killed, so they planned to investigate!
In the early morning, a group of heavily armed French troops went to Krupp to investigate at night, but they did not expect such a thing to happen.
It was night, and in order to investigate the concealment of the operation, the French army did not turn on the lights, so when they forced their way into the Krupp factory, they clashed with the guards here.
The French army still does not know who opened the first truck.
One shot, but after the fight, the French artillery hit Krupp's arsenal, which also contained a batch of artillery shells and gunpowder ordered by the Germans during World War I.
After these shells were detonated, the situation immediately got out of control. The violent explosion shattered the glass within several kilometers of the surrounding area. Most of the houses within 50 meters of the arsenal were destroyed. A large number of civilians were injured or killed in the explosion. Most of the Krupp arsenal was also burned to the ground. It was in ruins!
When they learned that the French army had caused trouble, they didn't even have time to collect the corpses of their own friendly troops, so they turned around and ran away. Instead, they sold their own country to the enemy!
The next morning, when Hans's police arrived! At the scene, only the corpses of the French army and French armored vehicles were seen, as well as ruins and civilians with heavy casualties everywhere. So this incident was quickly determined to be the work of the French army, and this shit hat was pinned on Gao Gao. Lu Ren's head can't be removed!
After hearing the news, Marshal Foch was speechless for a long time.
He was so angry that he didn't know what to say!
Although the choice and decision of the French representative on Hans' side were correct, if If given the chance, Marshal Foch also wanted to put the Krupp factory and the German army to death. With such a good opportunity in front of him, even he would be tempted.
However, those guys are too unreliable, so why would they? Go up at night?
Wouldn't it be better to bring representatives from other Allied countries with you during the day?
Why are they firing randomly in the arsenal? Don't they know that this is the largest arsenal in Europe?
What if it was Marshal Foch who handled this? If there is an incident, he will remain calm after receiving the information, secretly send people to investigate, and after obtaining enough evidence, he will invite representatives from various countries to go with him, directly blockade the Krupp Military Factory, and then go in to find out the truth.
Tanks are huge things and are not small things that can be easily hidden.
As long as they are sure that Krupp is really developing tanks, they will definitely be able to find a handle on the other side.
However, it is too late now, the situation has arrived! At this point, if they can't find a way to recover, the international situation will become increasingly unfavorable to them!
They have to do something!
Fortunately, the French army still has a trump card, which is the tip they received before: the German army is secretly developing tanks!
Marshal Foch believed that as long as he announced this matter, the initiative would return to them!
Just do what they say, and the Gallic military soon publicly announced that they had obtained evidence that the German army was secretly developing a killer weapon like a tank at the Krupp factory!
This announcement immediately attracted the attention of all countries. Only one year had passed since the signing of the Versailles Peace Treaty, so everyone remembered the contents of the Versailles Treaty relatively clearly.
Everyone remembers that the Treaty of Versailles clearly stipulates that the German army is not allowed to own and produce tanks. If what the Gauls announced at this time is true, doesn't it mean that the Hans are blatantly trampling on the Treaty of Versailles?
For a time, the focus of various countries shifted from the destruction of the Krupp factory to the fact that the Krupp factory was secretly producing tanks!
After obtaining the information from the Gauls, both Sun Bu Luo and Ying Jiang attached great importance to it. The two countries unanimously stated that they would send an investigation team to Hans to publicly investigate the matter!
Mainz breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the news.
