There are 66% of Czechoslovakia's coal mining industry, 86% of chemical industry, 70% of steel industry, 80% of cement industry and textile industry, 70% of electricity, and 40% of wood industry.

Without the Sudetenland region, the strength of Czechoslovakia will directly drop by half.

"Doctor, we are allies with France. Will France see Germany's power expanding and abandon us?"

Mastney took a chance.

Czechoslovakia is not without support.Czechoslovakia's biggest reliance is that it is itself an industrial powerhouse with a strong military industry and the ability to mobilize a large number of troops.As long as Czechoslovakia is willing, Czechoslovakia can mobilize a heavily armed army of one million.In Europe at present, countries with such armies are all real powers.

Also, Czechoslovakia is a very important ally of France.After the end of World War I, France built a very complete security alliance system on the European continent.France's allies include Poland, Czechoslovakia, the Netherlands, and Belgium.Originally, Italy was also a country within this security alliance system.

This firmly controls Germany.

France also relies on such a security alliance system to maintain its hegemony in the European continent.I just didn't expect Italy to turn against the water and become an ally of Germany.Moreover, France abandoned the Netherlands in the Far East, which also made the Netherlands very dissatisfied, and began to separate from France.At present, France has fewer and fewer allies in Europe.

Czechoslovakia is considered a very powerful ally.

Will France abandon Czechoslovakia?

"I do not know either."

Masaryk felt deeply helpless.

Feel the deep helplessness of a small country.Speaking of which, Czechoslovakia was formerly the "heart of the Austro-Hungarian Empire" and one of the industrial bases of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.It belongs to one of the industrial powers in the world.

It is a pity that compared with Britain, France, Germany, and Italy, it is a small country with a population of only about 1000 million, and there are many internal conflicts, and the various ethnic groups are not harmonious.Just look at the attitudes of these European powers and you will know that they don't take Czechoslovakia seriously.

Obviously discussing matters in Czechoslovakia, but representatives of Czechoslovakia were not allowed to enter the meeting place.

"Tap-tap-"

While the two were waiting anxiously, Horace Wilson of the British negotiating delegation walked in.

"Lord Wilson, I don't know..."

The two immediately stepped forward anxiously, wanting to know the content of the meeting.

"Two, Britain, France, Germany and Italy have agreed in principle to hand over the Sudetenland region to Germany. This is the area we marked to be handed over to Germany."

Horace Wilson never gave the two a chance to speak.

Just say what you want to say.Then he took out a marked map, which fully marked the land that Czechoslovakia would hand over to Germany.Looking at the map in front of them, Mastny and Masaryk were stunned, completely unable to understand what was happening now.

Or Masaryk reacted quickly.

Immediately said: "Lord Wilson, we cannot accept such a result at all. Without the participation of our Czechoslovak representatives, and without the consent of our government, no one can casually hand over the Sudetenland to any country."

"This is the end result of the meeting and I have nothing to add."

"Lord Wilson, you can't do this. If you do this, it will destroy our country's entire railway transportation, road transportation, telephone and telecommunication systems, and lose the largest defense barrier. Do Britain and France really allow Germany to drive straight in and control our country? Do you Is it really necessary to abandon the defense system of Eastern Europe?"

"As long as you know this situation, you can implement this situation in the future. I just came to inform the two of you. The meeting is not over yet, so I'm not going to accompany you."

With these words Horace Wilson left the room.

Mastny and Masaryk were left looking at each other.Mastney was furious immediately, and said: "Doctor, they, they bully people too much, they bully people too much. How could Chamberlain and Daladier do this? We are a sovereign country, and they actually did it without us attending the meeting , Arbitrarily deciding on our country's territorial issues. It's too much, too much deception."

Mastney shook his hands angrily.

After the end of the First World War, slogans such as the victory of justice over might were circulated all over the world.Czechoslovakia was the biggest beneficiary of World War I.Separated from the Austro-Hungarian Empire, it became an independent sovereign state.Originally, the Austro-Hungarian Empire was a defeated country and would be suppressed by the victorious country.However, because Czechoslovakia was supported by Britain and France for independence, it was not liquidated after the war, but lived a very good life.

So Czechoslovakia is also working very hard.

It has become the most important ally of Britain and France in Eastern Europe, and has done its best for this security system over the years.Even in the world, the unification of Czechoslovakia has become a very good demonstration.National independence movements in many colonies took Czechoslovakia as a model.And Britain and France used Czechoslovakia to show how much they respect justice.

But what about justice?

Where did the axiom go.

Not a single sovereign country participated in the meeting, and no sovereign country signed the treaty.But a few other countries can decide the fate of a sovereign state and determine the territorial issue of a sovereign state.

Where is the axiom?This is a blatant violation of axioms.

Masaryk sat on the chair slumped, his eyes dimmed.After arriving in Berlin, they arranged for him to stay outside and not allow him to attend the meeting, which gave him a bad premonition.I didn't expect the result to be so bad.

It was past ten o'clock in the evening, and it was almost time to go to bed.But Masaryk is not sleepy.Neither of them knew what to say at this time.Just stayed there quietly, and the time passed by every minute and every second.

Three hours flew by.

Finally someone remembered the two of them and let them enter the meeting room.Mastney and Masaryk walked into the meeting room, and the first thing they saw was Chamberlain and Daladi.

Next to them were British and French negotiators.

Hitler and Mussolini were not in it.Before the two of them could speak, Horace Wilson, the British representative, stood up, picked up a document, and read it to the two of them.

Mastney and Masaryk were still a little dazed, and they didn't fully react until Horace Wilson had almost finished reading the document.The content of the file is very short, but the content is a bolt from the blue.

Horace Wilson read the "Munich Agreement" signed by Chamberlain, Daladier, Hitler, and Mussolini.The content is not only to give the Sudetenland area to Germany, but some areas are not sure whether the German nation is in the majority, so they are handed over to an international committee composed of Britain, France, Germany, Italy, and Czechoslovakia for temporary management, and then a referendum is held to determine the ownership.Not only this, but Czechoslovakia was also asked to solve the minority problems in Hungary and Poland.

This time the situation is even more embarrassing.

When Mastny and Masaryk heard about this agreement, they were completely devastated.Masaryk cheered up and said: "Even if the contract is signed, it should also require the consent and declaration of our government. Without our signature, this agreement cannot take effect."

"This agreement has entered into force since it was signed, and does not require a reply from your government."

The French representative next to Horace Wilson responded strongly.Seeing that Masaryk was going to say more, he said directly: "This is a judgment that has no right to appeal or change. Your country only needs to abide by it."

"you……"

Mastney was instantly furious.

But after saying a word, I don't know what to say.axiom?What is axiom.These powerful countries usually look like upholding justice in the world, but they don't take the interests of small countries into account at all.

What can I say.

So what if I said it?Can the current situation be changed?

"Okay, go back and inform your government."

With a wave of his hand, he pushed the two of them out like a fly.

"PhD."

"Let's go, quickly send a telegram to the country and tell the country about this matter. Let the country quickly find a solution."

"Yes."

"Brother Jizi (Xie Hongxun), I see that you are in good health."
