There's No Such Thing As A Free Sudetenland!
The title implies all: A Czechoslovakian AAR. Normal/Agressive. The plan is - obviously - not to give in to the German demands for Sudetenland and fight them instead. In time, the Czechs might even become a new world power...
Chapter 1 - The Road To Freedom Cannot Be Achieved Alone
Eduard Benes still remembered it. The proclamation of an independent Czechoslovakia, free from the faltering Austria-Hungary, and free from any dictatorial or monarchic oppression. Free market and democracy were the norm today... Czechoslovakia was a shining beacon of light amongst increasingly dictatorial policies by their neighbours.
Neighbours, which would all be eager to take Czech ground for themselves, if the young democracy would be careless. And one neighbour above all the others.
Der Führer. Benes had always disliked Hitler, and his blathering about a greater Germany. Although Germany's hands should be bound by the treaty of Versailles, Hitler had already started rearming the country and would - possibly - bring Europe on the brink of yet another Great War. Although the first Great War brought his country independence, he feared another war would not be in his favor.
But now, a man had come to Prague. Benes had personally invited him there. This man wielded considerable power himselves, and had friends which wielded even more power.
Getting on his good side would be important, for that would ensure an industrially more powerful Czechoslovakian state... a state, which if need be, could stand up to hostile neighbours.
The man's name was Anthony Eden.
