Paris France.

"Mr. Prime Minister." A secretary said to the boss leaning on the back of the chair, "The former prime minister, Mr. George Clemenceau, passed away. Would you like to attend his memorial service?"

"Of course, you arrange your time!" The French Prime Minister nodded: "I don't want to be alone at my funeral in the future."

After thinking about it, he asked again: "Is the unemployment rate still high?"

"Yes, Mr. Prime Minister. President Dumague has ordered the army to be cut, and now the public complaints are boiling, which is very unfavorable to us." The secretary said while arranging the documents on the table: "Sir Sherlock hopes to see you at the door outer."

"What's he going to do at this time? To prepare the car, I'm going to the president's residence." French Prime Minister André Taldieu frowned and thought to add: "Let him come in, let me talk to him 5 minutes."

"Okay, Mr. Prime Minister." The secretary turned and left the room. After a while, Sir Sherlock came to him with a smile.

"Good afternoon! Prime Minister Andre. I know you are busy, so this time I brought the document, I hope you can take a look." Sherlock put the document on the table and looked at it with a smile Prime Minister Andre.

"You and my secretary are cousins. I don't want him to embarrass you and call you in." Prime Minister Andre looked at the man who came in and said.

"Well! You should be thankful that you have such a secretary." Sherlock nodded. "That's why I came to you first, not the president."

"I know that you have been close to the Germans recently. Although some German private enterprises have remained stable during the economic crisis this time, the German government is not as good as us. What documents can you bring from the Germans?" Derek asked somewhat dismissively.

"I still have a few minutes?" Sherlock looked at the clock on the wall and asked politely.

"A little more than three minutes, so if you want to convince me, hurry up. I will rush to President Dumague in a moment."

The smile on Sherlock's face was deeper: "Since this is the case, it's better. Then you can take this document and show it to Mr. President, I believe it is good for both. As for the content of the document, it is about Germany A huge purchase contract from a private consortium. "

"What?" Andre rushed to the table, grabbed the contract, opened it and began to read the contents in detail. He saw that Mercedes-Benz Motor Company, Bavarian equipment manufacturing plant and Krupp plant were preparing to import to France. 500,000 tons of steel, 500,000 tons of coal, 10,000 tons of gasoline, 90,000 tons of rubber, and bargain with France, barter potatoes and other grains to buy French steel, and ready to buy French shipping companies in cash.

The entire cooperation plan exceeds 1 billion US dollars, which is the life-saving straw of the French financial industry during the economic crisis. If this cooperation exists, then Andre and Dumeg ’s helplessness in the economic crisis has become a proper response. , Is likely to save the French economy and get re-elected.

"Mr. Prime Minister, the car is ready!" The secretary walked in and saw the shocked Prime Minister and cousin Sir Sherlock, who was playing with the small globe on the Prime Minister's desk.

"Go out! I tell you to come in again! The car is ready at the front door! I may use it at any time." The prime minister raised his head and waved his hand at the secretary.

"What do the Germans want?" After reading the last page of the contract plan, Andrea put down the documents in his hand and looked at Sir Sherlock, who was sitting on the sofa with the black tea sent by the secretary, and asked.

"The Germans wanted to take back the Rhineland Demilitarized Zone." Sherlock replied with a smile: "They urge the French government to withdraw the troops stationed in the Rhineland region. Give it to the German team for full control."

"It's impossible." Andrey shook his head and said, "I can't betray the interests of France. Don't even think about it."

"Mr. Prime Minister, I know that your cabinet is already discussing the withdrawal of troops from the Rhineland, and you are definitely thinking about how to stabilize the economy of your country. Since sooner or later you will withdraw the army, what ’s the difference What is the difference? "

"Of course there is a difference!" Andre said angrily: "We withdraw the army, this is our business! You have to enter the army! That is not safe for France! Although we can no longer control the entire Rhineland region , But the Germans cannot be given control of the entire Rhineland region! "

"The contract, I will take it away." Sherlock said with a smile: "I also wish Mr. Andre and Mr. Dumeg can control the situation and save the French financial economy! Oh! Of course, I also wish two Can be re-elected. "

"These are private capital! Even without the German government's arrangements! They will voluntarily invest in France! As long as we give some discounts!" Andre looked at Sherlock and said.

"How do you think the Germans would come up with such a contract at this time without the participation of certain forces? Why did the Germans organize such a large private capital to save the market in France?" Sherlock asked with a smile.

As Sherlock said, he picked up the documents, put them back in the document bag, and stood up and nodded. "Since we can't cooperate this time, see you next time, Mr. Andre."

Having said that, he walked straight towards the door and walked to the door, reaching out and twisting the door handle.

"Wait a minute!" Behind him, French Prime Minister Andre was sweating, and finally he couldn't help but cried out: "You and I went to the presidential residence, I want to talk to Mr. President, and then Can give you an answer. "

"Premier Andre, you are really a wise politician." Sir Sherlock opened the door with a smile: "So please ask the Prime Minister to go first."

...

"I heard that my aunt's fashion store went bankrupt." A French soldier with a wide-brimmed steel helmet took a deep breath of cigarettes in his fingers and threw a document into the brazier in front of him.

Another soldier nodded: "My dad works as a mechanic in the factory, and the craft is nothing to say! It has been decades, and none of them knew my dad in the factory. As a result, he was still unemployed this time."

After he finished, he also threw a document with a seal in his hand into the fire, staring at the beating flames in a daze.

"I heard that a steel factory in Lorraine was acquired by the Germans and was hiring. There were thousands of people queuing at the door. If we were unemployed this time, I would go and see." The soldier looked listless: "I came from the division headquarters and heard that the division of our division will be cancelled."

"Damn it! This group of bureaucrats. When they make money, they put it in their pockets. Now that disaster is coming, they run faster than rabbits! In the end, they will rely on the Germans to save us!" The first complained The soldier again threw a stack of documents into the brazier, put a cigarette in his mouth, and said bitterly.

The soldier with the gun nodded, "Isn't it! The Germans were driven away by the desperation, and now the Germans are invited to come back! I don't know what we think of the officials above us."

"Long live the Great German Party!" As these French soldiers spoke, outside the window of the French garrison, a German stood under the knight statue at the street, raised his right hand, and shouted loudly while walking the German ceremony. .

"Long live the Great German Party!" Around him, a group of people waving their arms high and shouted loudly.

"Welcome to the Defence Forces to return to Rhineland!" The leader continued to shout.

"Welcome to the Defence Forces to return to Rhineland again!" Hysterical shouts also erupted from the crowd.

At the headquarters of the French Garrison Army in Rhineland, a colonel looked at his guests and smiled bitterly: "Have you heard the shouting outside? It is only a matter of time before the Germans come back here, I have received the order, today At night we will leave here and retreat to France to accept the reorganization. "

"Yes, I heard that I will be the person in charge of this reorganization." The French official who came here as a guest was also unwilling and bitterly smiling: "I was ordered to establish an independent French armored force to verify the independence of the tank force. The possibility of combat. "

"Why was this interested in this suddenly?" The colonel asked as he packed up the documents.

The guest officer did not pause to consider, he felt that he could tell the secret order that he would become his friend. So he directly answered: "Because the Germans are also doing this, and the investment is quite large. There is also information on the side of Grudeau that the Germans equipped a batch of new tanks and spent a lot of money."

"We are here, there is Grudeau, and there are British people we already know, and the intelligence that proves that the Germans are expanding armaments is higher than the mountains." The officer who gathered the documents threw the intelligence information into his hands in anger. In the brazier in front of him, he said bitterly: "The idiots above are just pretending to be invisible! You say this is annoying! Colonel Charles de Gaulle."

"No way, the analysis I submitted about Akado Rudolph and the intelligence that the Germans armed themselves are dead." Charles de Gaulle reluctantly spread his hands: "We have been monitoring Akado a few years ago, although The gains are not great, but it does prove that Germany is equipped with tanks and aircraft. However, the British government seems to hope that the Germans can deal with the Soviets and help Europe to defend the attack. "

"Ridiculous! Can't they see the brows of Germans and Soviets?" The officer sneered.

"Don't count on others! We are the hope of this country!" Charles de Gaulle stood up and walked to the colonel: "I have changed my mind, and I am no longer entangled in preventing the expansion of the armor of Akado! Since the Germans want to prepare for the war ! Then we will prepare for battle! "

He looked at the sunset outside the window: "Let's order! Let's go home!"
