It's just that Hitler's confidence has hit a hard nail here in Poland. The Polish government is not willing to talk to Germany about Danzig, Poland's most important port.

This makes the German side very dissatisfied, because although Danzig is a free city, it is hosted by Poland, and its garrison is also the Polish army. And the city is basically German. More importantly, East Prussia was completely separated from the rest of Germany, with the closest distance between the two being only 40 kilometers.

It is also due to being divided by Poland that East Prussia lags behind the rest of Germany in development. And this makes the region desperate to open up the road between the two.

And is Hitler's request reasonable this time?

To be fair, very reasonable. This time, as long as Hitler returned the port of Danzig, the open corridor allowed Germany to freely enter and leave East Prussia.

At first Hitler did not intend to attack Poland, although after the First World War Poland ceded the largest German territory. Poland, like Hungary, was useful to him in threatening Czechoslovakia's rear, so he induced Poland to comply with his demands, and Poland took the opportunity to seize a small piece of Czech territory.

Hitler intends to temporarily accept Poland as a small partner, as long as Poland returns the German port of Danzig and allows Germany to travel freely through the "Polish Corridor" to East Prussia. As far as Hitler was concerned, this was a very modest request.

However, after successive negotiations, Hitler found that Poland was not only too stubborn to make concessions like this, but also had unrealistic ideas about its own strength. Still, he hopes that, after further negotiations, they will change their minds. Until March 25, he also told the army commander that he was "unwilling to use force to solve the Danzig problem".

But everything changed after Britain and France gave Poland a security guarantee. Hitler found that after receiving the support of Britain and France, Poland became even more resolute in the face of German demands, and had no intention of negotiating with Germany at all (there was no value to win over). This forced Hitler to rethink and a military solution became possible.

It's just that in the face of Britain and France behind Poland at the time, as well as Romania, a possible ally, Hitler knew that he had to find a way to dismantle the support behind Poland, so Ribbentrop visited Romania and paid a huge price to pull Romania into his own. After the camp, Hitler now feels that in terms of strength, Germany and its allies have formed an advantage over Poland and Britain and France behind it.

Therefore, he hopes that his tough statement will make Poland and the UK and France behind it see the facts. It's just that Hitler's speech was completely winked at the blind man, and he didn't respond at all. Poland is confident in its own strength, and does not think that it is afraid of Germany after receiving the support of Britain and France. Even after Romania fell to Germany, it still believed that it could withstand the attack of the two countries.

This kind of iron-headed baby who doesn't listen to persuasion is very annoying.

No matter what your good words are, all kinds of threats are exhausted, and the solution by force will soon become the only one.

Maybe some people will ask Germany to take a step back, must it take Danzig?

The answer is that we cannot retreat, and now Germany cannot retreat one step. If Hitler dared to take a step back, domestic problems in Germany would erupt. Moreover, rising nationalism is also a double-edged sword. It can not only gather people's hearts to make Germany stronger, but also devour those who cannot satisfy its appetite.

Germany's economic miracle is, to put it bluntly, the use of deficits to boost industrial production. It's just that Germany is dominated by the military industry, and the occurrence of the military industry will inevitably bring about a sharp expansion of the military. This also makes Germany more biased, and its finances cannot support it at all.

At this time, the German government had no money to expand its arms and prepare for war. Hitler thought of two ways, one of which was to obtain wealth from the Jews to support Germany's financial expenditure, which led to Germany's massive anti-Semitism. Of course, the wealth of the Jews alone cannot support the huge expenditure of Germany. Hitler used another method, that is, to strengthen the monopoly.

Germany has adopted legislation and other means to encourage mergers and the establishment of small and medium-sized enterprises, and hundreds of thousands of handicraftsmen and small businessmen have been incorporated into military factories for labor service. Through these means, resources are concentrated in the hands of monopoly institutions, so that they can expand production, and then control the national economy by controlling these monopoly institutions.

At the same time, the German government began to build infrastructure and military facilities, and carried out large-scale military procurement. While creating orders for enterprises, the German government also stipulates that enterprises must allocate a certain percentage of profits to expand production, and strictly stipulate the scope of investment. These measures did boost the economy in the short term and stimulate employment. But it has created huge fiscal deficits, and these deficits are a huge sum of money that the German government absolutely cannot pay.

In the face of such a high fiscal deficit, Hitler was reluctant to issue more money, and the inflationary price soared again. Therefore, we can only use "white strips" such as bills to buy goods from enterprises.

At the same time, in order to tighten the currency, the ** government also issued a large number of bonds to consume the possible excess marks in the market. That is, by letting the German people buy bonds, the currency is temporarily returned to the government. But in Germany at the time, this stimulated further government spending, and government debt continued to rise.

At the same time, the serious imbalance between light and heavy industries in the German economy is difficult to change. When these bonds return to society again, it will be difficult to achieve the purpose of promoting consumption. What awaits Germany, then, is a severe economic crisis.

To this end, in early 1939, the Board of Directors of the Reichsbank wrote to Hitler: "Endless state spending destroys the attempt to order an orderly budget, and even a substantial increase in the tax burden will reduce the state's finances. put it on the verge of collapse, and thereby destroy the central bank's exchange rate."

The implication of this passage is that Germany's finances are about to collapse, and a solution needs to be found.

Now there is only one way to go before Germany, and that is to use its huge military strength to find a way for Germany's impending bankruptcy, and war is inevitable.

And this time, it is also the reason why Germany failed to integrate the strength of the occupying power for its own use. Germany first needs to plunder enough material and wealth from the occupying power to fulfill those white papers and promises and relieve domestic pressure. The people will not care about the development of the national strategy, they will only see that Germany has won, so there should be spoils of war.

And in order to meet their demands, the occupying power can only suffer losses. As for the plundered countries, it will be extremely difficult for you to integrate their strength.

So after Poland rejected Hitler's good intentions, the war was doomed.

It's just that Hitler is still waiting for a message, a message from the Soviet Union.
