When I Asked You To Write About Struggle, You Wrote About Being A Failed Art Student?

【As his military power grew, Hitler’s confidence grew】

【He set his sights on the next region – the Rhineland】…

【What is the Rhineland?】

【《The Treaty of Versailles and the Treaty of Locarno stipulated that Germany was not allowed to station troops or build fortifications on the west bank of the Rhine and 50 kilometers on the east bank.】

【This is the famous Rhineland Demilitarized Zone】

【The Rhineland is where France and Germany meet】

【In its northeast is the famous Ruhr industrial area in Germany, which has great geographical significance.】

【The French insisted on demilitarizing this area so that if there was a war between France and Germany, the French army could easily invade Germany and take the industrial center of Germany, allowing the war to be fought on German territory.】

【If Germany wanted to expand eastward and attack small countries such as Poland and Czechoslovakia, France would have signed mutual assistance treaties with all these countries and could deal a fatal blow to Germany from behind.】……

【It can be said that as long as the Rhineland is not defended, the sword of Damocles hanging over Hitler’s head will never disappear.】

【Hitler clearly realized that if Germany wanted to go further on the road of military expansion and preparation for war, the Rhineland region must be remilitarized.】

【Originally, under the restrictions of the two major contracts, Hitler had no chance to pry open this obstacle.】

【However, by 1936, the situation had changed.】……

【First, Italy’s attitude towards Germany began to become ambiguous】

【Although the two countries still have conflicts over the Austrian issue, Italy even stands on the side of Britain and France, working with them to curb Hitler’s ambitions.】

【However, in 1935, after Mussolini invaded Abyssinia, England directly sanctioned Italy in the name of the League of Nations.】

【The relationship between the two countries quickly reached a freezing point】

【At this time, although Germany maintained nominal neutrality, it provided a lot of assistance to Italy.】

【On the one hand, there were sanctions from England, and on the other hand, there was aid from Hitler. Italy reciprocated, and the relationship with Germany quickly warmed up.】

【Italy had even privately assured Hitler that if Germany took action, Italy would not fulfill its obligations under the Locarno Treaty.】……

【Secondly, the initial signing of the Franco-Soviet Mutual Assistance Treaty also gave Hitler an excuse】

【Germany’s military expansion and preparations made France feel a sense of crisis. They realized that once Germany rose, they would be the first to be targeted.】

【Therefore, when the Soviet Union proposed to France that the two sides conclude a bilateral mutual assistance treaty, France responded positively.】

【The two countries began to dissolve the war in Geneva and signed the Franco-Soviet Mutual Assistance Treaty.》】

【The treaty stipulated that if France or the Soviet Union became the target of an unprovoked invasion by any European country, the two countries would immediately support and assist each other.】

【《The signing of the Franco-Soviet Mutual Assistance Treaty made Hitler ecstatic】

【He knew that peace between France and the Soviet Union would be unacceptable to European countries, especially England, which regarded the Soviet Union as a scourge.】……

【《The signing of the Franco-Soviet Mutual Assistance Treaty caused a new rift between Britain and France】

【It also gave Hitler an excuse】

【Since France does not abide by the Locarno Treaty, Germany does not need to abide by it either, and the restrictions they face in the Rhineland will no longer exist.】……

【So on March 7, 1936, Hitler announced in Congress: From today on, the German Empire will restore full and unrestricted sovereignty in the Rhineland.】

【Hitler wanted to replicate the achievements he had made when he restored the conscription system, and took advantage of the turbulent international situation to remove the sword of Damocles hanging over Germany’s head.】……

Fang Yuan did not write this paragraph quickly because this was Hitler’s first military expedition in the true sense!……

Yes.

When people talk about Hitler, their impression of his first military action will probably stay on the blitzkrieg against Poland.

But in fact, the first time happened in the Rhineland…….

However, because it did not mention sending troops, the first thought that came to the audience’s mind when they saw this part was: again?

……

Barrage:

——”Hitler is addicted to stealing by taking advantage of the changing situation”

——”Will he succeed?”

——”It’s hard to say. After all, this is different from restoring conscription. It’s about restoring the sovereignty of a region.”

——”Yes, although it seems difficult to restore the conscription system, we only need to win the support of England, find a reasonable excuse, and then announce the restoration of the conscription system. However, it is not as simple as saying it verbally to take over the sovereignty of the Rhineland region. Other countries will not agree.”

——”I think France would not agree to it first. The Rhineland is too important to them and they will not give it up easily.”

——”What’s more, France is now on the same side with the Soviet Union, so it will not indulge Hitler.”

——”This time it’s bound to fail, right?”……

Although Fang Yuan wrote that the current situation was favorable to Hitler, not many viewers believed that he would succeed.

As some people said, this is not about restoring the conscription system. It is not as simple as issuing a statement and then executing it.

‘The words”restore sovereignty” may seem light, but in reality, this is undoubtedly to bite off a piece of meat from France in front of it.

France, can he agree?……

“Teachers, do you think Hitler can succeed?”

Seeing the four teachers watching intently,

Mamtim asked……

Jiang Wen was the first to speak.

He thought for two seconds and said :

“I think it’s difficult, or he is bound to fail!”

“As the saying goes, once in a lifetime”

“Hitler has already taken advantage of the international situation to gain an advantage once.”

“At this point, all countries should be able to see his threat and will never let him take over the Rhineland.”

“The demilitarization of this area is a huge containment of Germany”

“It’s impossible to give up easily”……

Jiang Wen finished speaking.

Miyazaki Hayao, who had been silent, also spoke.

“good”

“Especially since it is under French control.”

“Fang Yuan also wrote that France has developed a sense of crisis towards Germany, and has even gone so far as to sign an alliance with the Soviet Union at the cost of offending England.”

“The purpose of his alliance was to contain Germany.”

“How could Germany possibly take back the Rhineland at this time?”……

Several judges exchanged glances and soon reached a consensus.

That is, France would never sit idly by and watch Hitler’s speculation succeed again…….

However, just when they were so sure of this point of view, Fang Yuan wrote another paragraph on the screen. When seeing this paragraph, the judges and countless audiences on and off the stage, offline and online,

……Everyone is shocked!
