The Rise of Australia

"Everyone, don't forget that on the other side of the earth, there is another powerful country that is paying attention to this war. When the war faction represented by Roman Barras and the peace faction were arguing fiercely, The sudden words caused both parties to fall into a long silence.

yes! They only focused on Europe, but they forgot that there was also a very powerful country on the other side of the earth that had the same roots as Europe.

"Then what can we do? Force Australasia to join the war? Are you sure this won't push Australasia to the German side?" the peacemaker asked somewhat unhappily.

"This is a good proposal." Roman Barras's eyes lit up, and he looked at the congressman with approving eyes. His whole body became energetic, and he said with a smile: "I almost forgot that on the other side of the distant earth , we also have a potential ally.”

"Damn it, you crazy guy!" The congressman's face changed, and he seemed to say in disbelief: "You don't want to drag Australasia into trouble, do you?"

"Why not?" Romain Barras smiled like a spring breeze, but what he said made everyone here couldn't help but swallow their saliva: "If France ends up in destruction, then our responsibility is to pull everything together. The country is in trouble.

Either Australasia helps us win the war, or we surrender to Germany and help the island nations win Australasia.

I believe that Australasians will be willing to help us. After all, the island country is an ally of Germany, and the enemy of our enemy is our friend. They should understand this truth. "

"This guy is absolutely crazy!" This was the thought of most peacekeepers in France.

It’s okay to drag the British into the water. Britain and France are separated by the English Channel. Britain is also a European country and also faces the threat of Germany.

But Australasia is different. As a country that monopolizes Oceania, Australasia is far from Europe.

Viewed from the west, Australasia is separated from Europe by the Mediterranean Sea, the Middle East and the Indian Ocean. Viewed from the east, Australasia and Europe are separated by the Pacific Ocean, the Americas and the Atlantic Ocean.

Apart from the potential factor that Australasia's enemy is an island country and its ally is Germany, there seems to be no reason for Australasians to participate in this war in Europe.

Australasia, as a superpower that guarantees three and competes for two, can play a decisive role in a European war. But all this is predicated on Australasia's willingness to join the war.

If Australasia is unwilling to join the war, is it really necessary to surrender to Germany and then vigorously support the island country, as Roman Barras said?

"Minister Romain, please tell me in detail your plan." While everyone was still shocked by Romain Barras's crazy idea, French President Albert suddenly asked.

Everyone immediately turned their surprised eyes to President Albert. Since President Albert took office, he has always regarded himself as a moderate and extremely leaning towards the peace faction.

The current proactive questions about Romain Barras made the peacekeepers officials turn their attention to President Albert, with questions and confusion in their eyes, and a hint of betrayal anger.

"It's very simple." Deputy Defense Minister Roman didn't care about the little thoughts of government officials. He stepped forward with a smile and stood in the center of the conference room, his eyes revealing determination and madness: "Although it is not the same as the war 20 years ago, I think the nature of these two wars is the same. That is a world war that spans the globe.

Yes, please allow me to call the war 20 years ago World War I, and the war that broke out between the German and Austrian empires World War II.

Unfortunately, both world wars took place in Europe, and France was destined to be one of the protagonists.

Since we cannot avoid a world war, the first thing we must do is avoid a repeat of the mistakes of World War I.

What we have to do is make World War II a truly global war. No major power can avoid this war, and we will never allow any situation where the snipe and the clam quarrel and the fishermen gain.

I currently have two suggestions on how to lure Australasians into the water.

First, Britain is an ally of Australasia, and it is essential for the British to win Australasia into the war.

Secondly, the relationship between Finland and Australasia is also very close. We can start from Finland to cause conflicts between Finland and Germany, forcing Australasia to support Finland.

In comparison, I would recommend the entry of the British into the war to prompt Australasia to respond. "

In fact, after all is said and done, the British participation in the war is the most important thing at the moment.

If the British did not participate in the war, could Australasia on the other side of the world be expected to intervene in the European war?

Only when the British join the war can they win over a series of countries that maintain good relations with Britain to join the war and strengthen the power of the Franco-Austrian Alliance.

President Albert nodded. Although his expression did not change at all, he had more thoughts in his heart.

Compared with current Prime Minister Pierre Laval, President Albert's willingness for peace is not that strong.

What President Albert wants to do more is actually to keep his presidential throne and let himself have supreme power.

"Minister Roman, since you have a sufficient plan, I will appoint you as the head of the diplomatic mission to be responsible for discussions with the British.

I have only one request, and that is to let the British join this war and defeat the Germans at all costs. Do you understand? President Albert asked in a deep voice.

For President Albert, who holds a high position, the war faction and the peace faction are actually not that important. What the two factions are arguing about is not important. What is important is how to comply with public opinion and get rid of one's own responsibilities as much as possible.

Let Minister Roman become the head of the diplomatic delegation to win over the British to join the war. This is obviously biased towards the main war faction.

But at the same time, President Albert did not fully agree with Minister Roman's proposal, and also left some room for his own possible peacemaking behavior in the future.

What happens next is simple. If Minister Roman can succeed in forcing Britain and Australasia to join the war against Germany, then President Albert will definitely take charge of the war.

But if Minister Romain fails and only France is left to face Germany alone, then I'm sorry, President Albert is a staunch peace advocate, and all war-promoting actions are instigated by Minister Romain.

President Albert was extremely satisfied with such a plan that had room for advancement and retreat. When issuing orders to Minister Roman, President Albert also had a smile on his face.

Although he smiled satisfied with his plan, in the eyes of those peace advocates, President Albert's behavior was an affirmation and appreciation of Minister Roman's idea of ​​​​maintaining war.

This also made the peacekeepers look at President Albert with anger in their eyes. They hated this betrayer.

Looking at Minister Roman, although he was a little surprised that President Albert agreed to his plan so easily, he didn't think much about it. He retained the courage of a soldier and said firmly: "I obey, Your Excellency the President."

On April 9, 1936, France sent a diplomatic mission to London, England, and announced a nationwide mobilization on the same day.

In London, England, which is far away but very close, a quarrel about the German-Austrian War was also breaking out at this time.

The British want to see this war, but they don't want to see it.

For the British regional balancing policy, the war between Germany, Italy and France and Austria was a perfect regional internal conflict that could strengthen Britain's control over Europe.

But the terrible thing is that Europe's power at this time is no longer balanced. Germany, which annexed Poland, was obviously the most powerful European country after the British Empire.

Look at France, which is fighting against Germany. Domestic peace parties account for the vast majority of the government, and even the French people are mostly peace parties.

If we expect France, whose entire country is afraid of war, to defeat Germany, it would be better to expect Austria to explode and be able to fight a 50-50 split against the German and Italian attacks.

This has led to a serious problem, that is, the balance of victory has tilted towards Germany and Italy. Compared to France, Germany currently poses a greater threat.

The British seem to be recalling the terror of the German army 20 years ago and that horrific European war.

Regarding the war between Germany and Austria, there were generally three factions within Britain.

The first faction, headed by Prime Minister Baldwin, advocated not participating, but keeping the war as balanced as possible and letting France and Germany play attrition.

The second faction, headed by some senior military officials, advocates participating in the war to prevent Germany, a greater threat, from becoming bigger and stronger. Compared with the declining French, Germany is the most deadly threat in Europe. France is obviously unable to stop the Germans. If Germany is allowed to continue to annex more land, Britain will only rely on the British Isles and will have no chance of being a rival to Germany, which dominates the European continent.

The third faction was led by some royalists and people. These people don't care about the war, they are concerned about the current crisis of the throne.

After all, when their own backyard is on fire, who has the time to care about wars in other countries?

Unlike France, the throne crisis between Prime Minister Baldwin and King Edward VIII prompted some royalists to begin to oppose Prime Minister Baldwin.

The stalemate between the two factions is also the most important problem in Britain at present. Edward VIII did not care about the war. He only cared about whether he could successfully marry Mrs. Simpson.

This also makes the UK lack the final say. Even Prime Minister Baldwin is completely unable to unify the voices within the British government and make the British unanimous in dealing with the outside world.
