Part IV: The Second Congress of Vienna
Metternich: I'd like to take the time to thank all of you for coming here. As many of you know Europe has changed greatly in the past two years, with the emergence of a new empire and alliance of Mittleeuropa between Austria and Germany. Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria, Albania and Yugoslavia no longer exist. We must accept this and move forward. But we must preserve peace for tomorrow.
For starters, we must accept that the Vienna-Berlin Axis and the British-French Alliance are not enemies. We must band together to destroy Unholy Russia, now called the Soviet Union. I turn your attention to Spain, a mere pawn of the Soviet Empire now. Italy, Austria-Hungary, and Germany have signed the Anti Comintern Pact. We would like to ask that the other nations of Europe agree to this pact as well. Also, we would like recognition by the Allies of the validity of the Vienna-Berlin Axis against Communism
Chamberlain: I believe that the Anti Comintern Pact and the Axis are both unnecessary. Metternich, we have been tolerant of you so far and your incursions, however we will not tolerate them any longer. In fact, the power block of Mittleeuropa should be destroyed.
Moscicky: I agree. Poland stopped the Red Army some ten years ago and we will do it again if it comes to it.
Hitler: No. The Soviets were weak then. Now, Poland could be beaten within three weeks.
Moscicky: The Nerve!
Lebrun: I believe that peace must be preserved, yet the Axis is dangerous.
Mussolini: There must be a better answer than what is currently here. I suggest that the French-German border stays the same, as well that the Austrian empire remains at her current borders. Danzig will be given to Germany.
Chamberlain: Excellent proposal.
Metternich: Then the French-German border will be guaranteed. Austria, Italy, and Britain will intervene against the party who violates this:
Chamberlain: Agreed
Mussolini: Agreed.
Metternich: Also I suggest that Finland, Poland and the Baltic be given guarantees of independence against Soviet aggression.
Hitler: My friend Metternich, I must agree with this.
Metternich: The balance of Europe will be broken I am sure. The Soviets will find us easy prey.
Chamberlain: So be it. I believe this pact will only lead to the destruction of the peace we have worked to achieve after the Great War.
