19 In May, Chamberlain claimed in the House of Commons that "there is a curtain and a wall between Britain and the Soviet Union, which is extremely difficult to cross". On the other hand, he hinted that Britain is not opposed to seeking ways to meet the requirements of Germany, "if this will obviously ease the current situation". On the same day, Halifax made it clear to Dickson, the German ambassador to Britain, that he hoped to improve the relationship between Britain and Germany.
On June 8th, Chamberlain met with trotter Chu Zorz, a German politician who was visiting Britain in his private capacity. Chamberlain said that he still hopes to reconcile with Germany, and said that in his view, "since the day he took office, he has always believed that the only way to solve European problems is through the Berlin-London line."
In mid-July, the British diplomatic authorities suggested to Germany that the newspapers of the two countries should stop attacking and accusing each other, so as to prepare for the approach and cooperation between the two countries.
18 July to February1July, Walter visited Britain for the second time and held four secret talks with British government officials. The two sides discussed economic, political and military issues. During the talks, Wilson, Chamberlain's economic adviser, proposed a comprehensive "German-British cooperation plan" to the Germans. Its main content is: (1) Germany and Britain jointly issued a declaration on the non-use of armed aggression as a means of international policy. Wilson said that such a statement would make Britain's assurances to Poland and Romania redundant; (2) Germany announced that it would not interfere in the Commonwealth, and Britain announced that it would not interfere in the "Great German Empire" (including Eastern Europe and Southeast Europe); (3) Conclude the declaration of Germany and Britain, and fundamentally revise the relevant provisions of the Treaty of Versailles on the issues of colonies and trust territories; (4) Militarily imitate the previous Anglo-German naval agreement and conclude an arms limitation agreement, but consider Germany's special strategic needs in Central Europe on air force and army issues; (5) First, we will cooperate in the supply of raw materials, the export of food and industrial products in the three major markets of the British Empire (India, South Africa, Canada and Australia), China (Japan) and Russia, and at the same time expand to a wider range of foreign investment and international financial and debt cooperation (British loans to Germany). Once the two sides reach an acceptable political and economic agreement, the British government will try to make France "abolish its alliance with the Soviet Union and its obligations to Southeast Europe". In addition, the Chamberlain government is also prepared to "terminate the signing negotiations with the Soviet Union" and may even consider canceling Britain's obligations to Poland.
Obviously, both the guarantee to Poland and the negotiation with the Soviet Union were just means for Britain to force Germany to return to Munich. At this time, however, Germany's determination to attack Poland has been decided. For Hitler, it is urgent to solve the problem of avoiding fighting on two fronts. So at this stage, Hitler's real intention in diplomacy is to sign a contract with the Soviet Union. The reason why he agreed to negotiate with Britain was not only to use Britain's fantasy about Germany to contain and destroy the negotiations between Britain and France and the Soviet Union, but also to leave Germany a retreat and trade with Britain and France when it was impossible to obtain conditions from the East to avoid two-front operations.
Britain is serious about the secret negotiations between Britain and Germany, but because Germany is only a false story, the negotiations have never progressed. On August 23rd, the German-Soviet non-aggression treaty was signed in Moscow, thus declaring the secret negotiations between Britain and Germany a complete failure.
