You try to be a decent neighbor to the Belgians and what does it get you? Invaded by the Germans, that's what.
Belgium: "Nooooo don't create the Maginot Line along our border too, that's basically abandoning us to ze Germans!"
France: "Alright, alright, fine, let's create a proactive defense strategy which-"
Belgium: "Woah, now! Doesn't France making plans to defend Belgian land sound like it would PROVOKE ze Germans? I don't think I can cooperate with that kind of reckless strategy."
France: 😵
The Maginot plan would have worked way better than irl had the Belgians not reneged and stayed as the Dyle Plan.
