WW1.5 in 1920

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_von_Seeckt

Extract:
After the Allies sent the German government a list of "war criminals" to be tried Seeckt called a conference of Staff Officers and departmental heads on 9 February, 1920 and said to them that if the German government refused or was unable to reject the Allied demands, the Reichswehr must oppose this by all means even if this meant the reopening of hostilities. He further said that if the Allies invaded Germany—which he believed they would not—then the German army in the West should retire behind the Weser and the Elbe, as this was where defensive positions had already been built. In the East, German troops would invade Poland and attempt to establish contacts with the Soviet Union, wherein they would both march against France and Britain.

Now, WI the Allies had indeed invaded Germany in response to the German govt's refusal to co-operate with the request to hand over war criminals ? How would such a war have panned out ?

How does an army retreat behind the Weser and the Elbe? The first is a hundred or more kilometers to the west of the second for most of its course, and unless there's a bend in the front from N-S to W-E at around Eisenach, this directive just doesn't make sense if we're talking about a single front.

If we're talking about establishing a front at the Weser and THEN, when that front is breached, establishing one at the Elbe, that makes sense.
