Third Reich Episode 441
In the end, after the 1935 general election, he proposed to levy a national defense contribution tax to subsidize the military industry with the tax, which attracted fierce criticism from all sides.Though much criticized, Chamberlain's other economic policies were effective. He adopted a policy known as "rationalization," in which the government bought out obsolete factories and mines in a depressed economy and brought them out of business. , making the new factory conditionally established.Thanks to this policy, by 1938 Britain already had factories equipped with the latest technology in the world and the ability to produce the latest weapons.
It can be said that many of the favorable conditions that Churchill used later were developed by Chamberlain for him.Churchill was just standing on the shoulders of the giant Chamberlain, nothing more.
When Chamberlain was in power, Ireland hoped to be completely independent and become a republic, and formulated a new constitution, which only recognized the king as the supreme head of state and managed its own foreign affairs, while the others were completely independent.Considering the situation in Europe at that time, Chamberlain hoped that in the event of war, Ireland would not join the hostile side with Britain, so he made many concessions.
In particular, Chamberlain and Ireland's first president de Valera also maintained a good personal relationship.In the agreement reached by the two at the time, Ireland took back the three ports controlled by the United Kingdom, but paid the United Kingdom 1000 million pounds.The agreement drew some opposition in Britain, notably from Churchill, but the Conservative Party majority did not support Churchill, and it was later commented that the agreement paved the way for Ireland to support Britain in wartime.
If it weren't for Chamberlain's efforts, Gott's current strategy of moving the capital to the island of Ireland and uniting Ireland would not be able to proceed!
而且在张伯伦主政后，英国军费占GDP的比重从1938年的7%猛增至1939年的18%。虽然这一比重仍低于莱因哈特德国的23%，但对于刚摆脱经济衰退的英国来说已是勉为其难。
But who would have thought that just a few years ago, the British Air Force was still weak due to a shortage of funds, and it was difficult to compete with the rising Third Reich.
And if anyone is said to be the hero behind the "reconstruction of the Royal Air Force" in the mid-to-late 30s, the former British Prime Minister Chamberlain, who has been denounced by later generations as "helping the evil", is probably the one who really deserves respect.
The traditional view holds that Chamberlain's appeasement policy is a sign of soft bones, but ignores Chamberlain's actions, real intentions and his historical background.
In order to raise and increase military spending, Chamberlain once submitted a draft to the parliament, intending to levy a defense tax on excess profits from the military industry giants who made a fortune from rearmament, but almost no one supported him among the more than 600 congressmen.At the same time, Chamberlain launched another 4 million pound national defense bond issuance project, which also failed to receive the response from the capital circle.
It can be said that Chamberlain has exhausted all the methods he can think of and use within the system to strengthen his country's war readiness.
This is the real reason why Britain can persist until today!
Instigated by Churchill and his henchmen, many people accused Chamberlain of being cowardly and cowardly, only knowing that the appeasement policy connived at Germany.
But no one can point out how the result would have been different had Britain not pursued a policy of appeasement.
France was unwilling to go to war then, Italy joined the Axis powers, the US remained isolationist, and Britain had virtually no allies among the major powers of the time.Chamberlain used this time to accelerate the British rearmament plan, improved the radar defense system and the update of the air force, all of which played a huge key role in Churchill's subsequent war.
The most annoying thing is that Churchill also wasted countless efforts of Chamberlain and was pushed all the way to London by the Allies.
In all fairness, if Chamberlain were to lead Britain to continue fighting, the results would not necessarily be worse than Churchill.
At least from a strategic perspective, Chamberlain is ten times stronger than Churchill!

Text 665 Defense Speeches
People in Britain will remember April 1941, 4.
Just the previous afternoon, Reinhardt warned the Duke of Hamilton, who had rejected the peace request, that if he did not agree to the peace proposal put forward by Germany, the German army would carry out heavy bombing in densely populated areas.
Immediately afterwards, Reinhardt made a public broadcast on the evening of April 4, blaming Churchill for Hamilton's refusal of the peace request.On the radio, Reinhardt said angrily that he had warned Churchill, but Churchill took his kind warning as a sign of Germany's incompetence, and believed that the large-scale transfer of the German Air Force to the Eastern Front meant that the German army could not launch a large-scale attack in Britain. Proof of the size of the air raid.
In fact, Reinhardt really unilaterally labeled Churchill.
Churchill, who has become more and more decadent, is more and more like Hitler in the original time and space, and the doomsday period. He has no energy to continue to confront Reinhardt and make rebuttal remarks.
While Churchill hadn't delivered a morale-boosting radio speech for more than a week, Reinhardt gave a speech celebrating the victory on the Western Front.
"Germany, people, comrades. Ten days ago, the British government proposed to our party and our country to release all British prisoners of war captured in Dunkirk and return all captured British expeditionary force equipment in exchange for them signing a peace treaty with us , to support Germany against the unreasonable demands of the Soviet Union."
Reinhard did not agree to the biggest concession made by Churchill, who was still sober at the time.
It is ironic that Churchill's final concession as a condition for peace talks is actually a replica of the appeasement policy that Chamberlain implemented from the beginning!
Therefore, Reinhardt rejected this fat man mercilessly, and declared in a public international speech: "Of course, I resolutely reject Churchill's whimsical request! I never believe in the promises of the British! Never! I never believe in the so-called aid from outside our country and nation! The future of Germany depends on our people! Only our people! The German people, the holy German people, must use their hard work and wisdom , calm, and brave to overcome all difficulties! Only in this way can our country move forward and our nation revitalize!"
In the following remarks, Reinhardt simply denied Chamberlain's appeasement policy.Originally, in his eyes, neither Churchill nor Chamberlain were good people.At least, for Germany, these two are enemies with ulterior motives!
In his international speech, Reinhardt mercilessly cast aside the appeasement policy of Chamberlain or Churchill: "The sole purpose of the so-called diplomatic and non-political aid of the British is to destroy the great situation of our country and ruin our nation. The will to fight! In the so-called international organizations and agreements before them, the same ulterior and evil purpose is hidden!"
"I, the German government under the leadership of Reinhardt, only fight for the survival and development of my own people! Those eternal enemies of ours, the eternal enemies of Germany, can only lie from their tongues! Anyone who cooperates with them The attempt is a betrayal and crime against the German nation! We will fight these shameless and evil enemies to the end! Fight to the end! Forever! Until they are completely wiped out!"
"We have overcome countless difficulties and achieved countless achievements. No force in the world can stop us! The final victory will belong to the German people!"
"We defeated all the main forces of the British mainland within five weeks, and then opened the prelude to the world's first successful invasion of the British mainland."
"France has become our ally. Denmark, Belgium, and Poland have been captured. The most elite British expeditionary forces have all entered our prisoner-of-war camps a year ago."
"It is worth mentioning that, unlike Churchill and his henchmen, I and the last British Prime Minister, Mr. Chamberlain, have repeatedly watched the opportunity to urge the establishment of peace in the world. It is a pity that I do not share the vision and premonition of the wisest Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. It was true, my peace proposal was misunderstood, and the British generals thought that the peace that Germany wanted was no different from cowardice."
"In addition, militants such as Churchill and his henchmen have repeatedly deluded the hearts of the British public. They know that there is no chance of victory, but they give their people some new hope that will burst like soap bubbles. Then, the pressure of the public, Coupled with the advocacy of the newspapers, those Churchill's henchmen have repeatedly tried to lure their country into a war of beasts."
After a lot of framing and ridicule, Reinhardt finally did not forget to hypocritically pave the way for the inhumane napalm bombing he was about to launch.
"Although I have repeatedly warned the British high-level, I will take a special air battle tomorrow. I have warned them for three consecutive months. But these warnings were ignored by Churchill. I am surprised that this man who had been involved in the Turing incident Why doesn’t the fat Prime Minister, who is rumored to be gay, not cherish other people’s lives?”
"I once said that the best thing Mr. Churchill should do is to stay at home and spend his strange happy time with some boyfriend who has never been known to the public. However, this fool has been in the past five years. , but always running around outside of Britain like a madman, hoping to find an opportunity to set fire. Unfortunately, he has repeatedly found that the Third Reich can always uphold justice for those weak countries and drive away his invading army. "
"I can assure the world that I have great confidence in the future of the new League of Nations, after the reconstruction of Germany, free from British influence, and in the future of this new world.
The German Empire and its allies are superior to any federation in the world in terms of strength, military, economy, and especially morality.The German army, whenever necessary, is not afraid of a challenge.The confidence of the Germans will always accompany their fighters! "
"Tomorrow, the British will understand what a foolish decision it is to reject my olive branch for peace!"
After defending the bombing for the last time on April 4, Reinhard raised his arms and shouted: "Let the whole world sing together, Long live the Third Reich! Long live the Allies! Long live the League of Nations! Long live New Europe !"
"Long live the Third Reich! Long live the Allies! Long live the League of Nations! Long live the new Europe!" Under the real-time broadcast, applause and applause like a tsunami covered the major squares where the German people gathered.

Text 666. Chapter 666 (Should I give a reward?)
At the same time that Reinhardt issued the bombing notice, the Duke of Hamilton, who planned to use the peace talks to delay the Germans, was also disheartened and confirmed by the British and German sides, and returned to London on a plane arranged by Germany by using a special channel during the war.
After the Duke of Hamilton returned to London, the first person he went to see was not Reinhardt's obsessive and sarcastic Churchill, but the Duke of Gott who actually presided over the overall situation.
"How? I heard from Reinhardt's public speech an hour ago that you rejected his peace proposal?" Gott asked Hamilton impatiently as soon as he met at the headquarters.
Hamilton couldn't help but smile wryly at what Gott said.
He on the plane, of course, didn't hear Reinhardt's upside-down speech.However, he at least understands one thing - if the merciless peace request made by Reinhardt can be glorified by the other party as a "peace proposal", then the content of this kind of speech is estimated to be The level of shamelessness can drive the insider crazy.
Shaking his head, Hamilton responded to Gott's gaze with a wry smile: "If he agrees to the peace request he made to us, Britain will become a country weaker than Luxembourg in terms of military strength and political influence."
What is Luxembourg?At the peak of Luxembourg's military strength in later generations, its armed forces had a total strength of 2114, which was still composed of the army, gendarmerie and police.Among them, there are 930 people in the army, organized into a light infantry battalion with 3 companies and an independent company, mainly equipped with 5 armored personnel carriers.There are 682 gendarmerie and 502 police officers, and their combat effectiveness is pitifully low.
Hamilton no longer needs to give Gort a detailed explanation of what conditions Reinhardt offered. Just using Luxembourg's strength as a comparison to the future of the British Empire is enough to make Reinhardt's requirements simple and clear. His irrationality was relayed to Gott.
"Really..." Gott smiled wryly when he heard Hamilton say this, and no longer planned to ask for details.
He has seen too much what a politician looks like when he is shameless.
Leaving aside, let’s just say that Churchill, the politician Gort is most familiar with who stays in the basement, is so shameless that he has no humanity at all!
Not to mention letting the National Self-Defense Forces full of militias go to the battlefield, Churchill, a fat man, has given various bastard orders countless times before in order to make the paper strength data look better.He herded native British women and children into battle and was forced to fight.
