According to the US media "politician" website, German Chancellor Scholz's military expansion plan announced after the Madrid summit has caused some groups of uneasiness, although the EU has not yet issued a public attitude. The key reason is that Germany's military expansion is too large, and once successfully implemented, it will surpass India in two years and rise to the third largest military spending country in the world. At the same time, under the guise of "NATO security" and concern for the "Indo-Pacific situation", Germany has found sufficient reasons for their military expansion; In general, before the start of the two world wars in Europe in the last century, Germany was also expanding its army, which inevitably made many people think.
Less than 30 days after Germany's decision to expand the army was made public, Polish Defense Minister Błaszczak simultaneously announced the expansion plan: the first batch of 48 FA-50 fighter jets, 580 K2 tanks, more than 600 K9 self-propelled guns and 250 American second-hand tanks were imported successively; He also said something meaningful: "Poland is on the front lines and needs to be armed enough to deter the 'invaders.'" Poland will become the most powerful country in Europe in the future." In this regard, some people believe that the "aggressor" here does not necessarily refer to Russia, because they can point out the Russian side, and Poland wants to compete for the first place in Europe's military, and the main opponent it faces is Germany.
On the 17th, Adam Grabinski, governor of the Central Bank of Poland, suddenly issued a warning that Germany is now coveting Polish territory and trying to control all of Europe, which quickly triggered a hot discussion in public opinion. Grabinski said Germany was eyeing the land they lost after World War II that had been assigned to Poland, with another goal of trying to "politically control" European countries between Germany and Russia through the European Union. He accused Germany of sparing no effort in recent years to push for the so-called "euro currency instead of national currency", in Poland and to prop up another recent agent who lobbied around for the benefits of the eurozone, but could promise that the euro could not be used in Poland for as long as he served as governor of Poland's central bank for one day.
This remark has already made the confrontation between Poland and Germany smell full of gunpowder. Grabinsky has always been dissatisfied with Germany's "coercive policy" of controlling the European Union, and even referred to Germany as the "German European Empire" in previous speeches; His speech was even considered by the outside world to be "pointed out" by the expansionist contradictions between Poland and Germany, after all, Grabinski had administrative positions and could represent the government to a certain extent; In Eastern Europe, more than just Poland is very disgusted with Germany's "great power style", and officials from the Baltic states, Hungary and other countries have complained that the EU is now controlled by some countries with "high voice", and it is difficult for them to actually participate in decision-making.
It is also worth mentioning that Polish Prime Minister Morawiecki also publicly stated last week that there is now an "imperialist threat" spreading within the EU, and decision-making power is completely concentrated in the hands of countries such as Germany and France; Although Moravitsky did not speak as bluntly as Grappinsky did, his hatred of Germany was also evident. In this regard, there are also comments that Russia accuses Poland of coveting Ukrainian territory, Poland accuses Germany of coveting their territory, a Russian-Ukrainian conflict has torn apart the "plastic alliance" of European countries, and it is not known that the governor of the Polish central bank accused Germany of targeting their territory, but Poland's military expansion is definitely not only against Russia.
