On the night of 10 September 1946, the Governments of Ireland and Wales issued a simultaneous proclamation, and after counting the votes, the referendums held by the two countries on the merger of the United Kingdom resulted in a valid voter turnout of 81.4 per cent and 59.2 per cent respectively, and a favour rate of 92.4 per cent and 71.7 per cent respectively.

In terms of population and territorial size, this new United Kingdom is not the legitimate successor of the old United Kingdom, but its international market share in the fields of shipbuilding, aviation, chemicals, machinery and other fields has approached or exceeded the level of the old United Kingdom in the early 30s......

For the remainder of September, the Governments of Ireland and Wales were in full swing to form the United Kingdom, and since most of the affairs had been carefully arranged and the officials were proceeding almost in order, the monarch whom the two countries revered, His Majesty Joachim I, who was accustomed to seeing the world and storms, was not as busy as the outside world thought, but took his family around Ireland and Wales before the coronation ceremony, and enjoyed the autumn scenery. Until a shocking piece of news came......

On October 3, a "thunderclap" resounded across Europe on the outskirts of Warsaw. Prince Aitel Friedrich, a member of the German royal family and Governor-General of Poland who was known as the "Prince of Poland", was seriously injured in a bomb attack and was immediately taken to St. John's Hospital, which has the best medical facilities in the area. The accompanying German soldiers failed to capture the attacker at the scene of the explosion, and the nearby garrison quickly reinforced, blocked the surrounding roads, and carried out sweeping searches of villages and woodlands, detained more than 400 Polish residents and conducted surprise interrogations, but still failed to find the attackers, or even found clear clues, which made Kaiser Wilhelm, who went to Warsaw to visit his brother's injuries, very annoying.

Although there is no direct evidence, the heads of German intelligence and security services in Poland are convinced that this is the work of the Soviet revolutionary movement in Poland. Since the 30s, the Soviet revolutionary movement has grown like a spores hidden in the damp and dark corners of the woods in Eastern Europe, especially in eastern Poland and southern Ukraine, where the revolutionaries, with the secret support of Soviet Russia, have built up a tight organizational system, reorganized scattered partisan forces into the Polish Revolutionary Army, beheaded or kidnapped Polish officials who were notorious for sending and working for the Germans, and even attacked prisons and kidnapped prisoners.

Prince Friedrich's strategy for the Soviet revolutionary movement in German Poland was to punish them harshly. In recent years, more than 3,000 Poles have been executed under his ********, and tens of thousands have been sentenced to hard labour - countless have been disabled and died as a result of the poor conditions. As a result, Friedrich gained the notoriety of "Friedrich the Brutal" from the Poles, and became a thorn in the side of many Polish patriots, including the Soviet Revolutionary Organization, who had been attacked twice and saved the danger twice, and just over a month ago, the German occupation forces seized a batch of military supplies that had entered the country illegally, and smashed the Soviet Revolutionary Organization's liaison base in the area, killing 17 revolutionaries on the spot, capturing 9 people, and then arresting a large number of related personnel. The incident had a strong impact in German Poland, and it is likely that the attack on Friedrich was triggered.

On October 5, after hearing that Prince Friedrich's injury had deteriorated and his life was in danger, Natsuki flew to Warsaw to visit. By the time he arrived, Friedrich was in a coma and in a difficult condition, not only did Kaiser Wilhelm the Younger continue his stay in Warsaw, but Prince August-Wilhelm, King Oscar I of Iceland, and Louise of the royal family, as well as Prince Adalbert, who was ambassador to Argentina......

After leaving the ward, Kaiser Wilhelm gritted his teeth in front of his brothers and sisters: "These unforgivable Bolsheviks! Their harm to the Eiter is not only a contempt for the German Empire, but also an encroachment on the Hohenzollerns, for which they will pay the heaviest price! If there is a good guy in Aiter, even if the whole of Poland is razed, I will find out those despicable murderers! ”

Natsuki sighed: "Maybe it's not about character, you know, strong faith can make people outlaws." In order to achieve their goals, they don't care what the price is or what the consequences are. ”

William Jr. stared at him for a few seconds: "I decided to mobilize the Polish garrison and the local security forces to launch a full-scale strangulation operation against the Bolsheviks. Jochen, as much as you've always sympathized with these guys, this time for Aiter's sake, you should join in. ”

According to the Allied military pact, Ireland had a long-term presence in Eastern Europe since 1917, numbering more than 40,000 at its peak, but now it has been greatly reduced, but it still has 16,000 well-equipped soldiers, who are as mechanized as the German front-line corps, and have a strong ability to maneuver. Not only that, but Ireland also has some of the most elite special forces in all of Europe, and their combat experience and combat performance are impeccable!

Natsuki was silent for a while: "I feel very uncomfortable seeing Aiter's current appearance, so I can fully understand your decision, but such an action may affect the stability of Europe, and it is better for us to calm down and think about it in the long run." ”

William Jr. was angry, he frowned, as if he was dissatisfied with this kind of muddy argument, at this time, Oscar I interjected: "Yes, it seems that the Polish revolutionary party has caused the incident, but if there is no one behind them to support them, they will not dare to do it, and they will not succeed." If we can't cut off this hidden support in the dark, then, as Jochen says, Poland is likely to become a place of chaos that affects the stability of Europe, and then we should really think calmly about whether we really want to fight these despicable Poles, rather than find a way to deal with the forces behind them. ”

The King of Iceland's voice was not high and his tone was calm, but in a place so quiet that he could hear a pin on the ground, his words were heard in every word. The rebellious little William actually restrained his anger, clasped his hands in front of his chest, and walked to the window with the curtain tightly down.

Natsuki turned his head to look at Oscar, in terms of national strength alone, Iceland ruled by Oscar I is still the weakest country in Europe and even in the world, for a while, Oscar I has been accustomed to playing the role of soy sauce, fortunately, the barren Iceland is not only ice and snow, after more than 20 years of construction and development, especially the development of rich fishery resources and geothermal resources, the living conditions of Icelanders have been greatly improved, Their capital, Reykjavík, the largest strategic base and supply base of the Western Allies in the North Atlantic, has become a port city with a permanent population of more than 100,000 and modern facilities, attracting thousands of Europeans for vacation. During the East African ****** in 1937, the global economic crisis in 1939, and the wave of refugees in the East in 1944, the Icelandic government implemented a special immigration policy in an appropriate manner, which made the Icelandic population explode to more than 600,000, and the Icelandic army was no longer an empty shell armed force without soldiers. While some of the rhetoric may sound ridiculous at times, the shift is tangible.

"After the complete cessation of Japan's acts of war, Soviet Russia became the greatest threat to the international order. Twenty-nine years ago, we should have wiped it out in its infancy, and even 11 years ago, we had the right reason and enough strength to knock it to the ground. Now that we have to confront a modern army that has been forged by war, a nationwide mobilization will certainly alert them to prepare for it in advance, which will make it difficult for us to take the initiative, and if war starts, we will have to beware of some countries stabbing them in the back. What am I going to do? What can I do? ”

Muttering this, little William suddenly turned around and looked at Natsuki with a rare look of help. This look reminded Natsuki of many years ago, when William Jr., then the commander of the legion, had pinned his hopes on helping him overcome his difficulties, and when the Allied Navy was in trouble in the waters of the Azores, William Jr. had personally visited Limerick to persuade him to lead his troops into battle.

Xia Shu walked straight to Little William and held his arm with both hands: "With all due respect, Germany is extremely powerful today, and it has only one enemy, and that is itself." I remember that a long time ago, we had an in-depth discussion about the influence of the Soviet ideology, which itself was not as aggressive as we feared, and only when there were serious problems in the governance of the country, causing hardship to the people at the bottom, and even the most basic living conditions could not be guaranteed, did the Soviet ideology take root and spread rapidly. More than a decade ago in Wales, in a very short period of time, there were hundreds of Soviet organizations, miners went on strike, traffic was paralyzed, the revolutionary wave was surging, and we had to use a large number of troops to maintain order, and now? Everyone lived and worked in peace and contentment, and even if Soviet Russia sent a thousand political commissars to Wales, it would not make any waves. ”

William looked at him with disappointment: "Could it be that we not only cannot severely punish the Poles, but also provide them with more comfortable and superior living conditions, so that they can live without worries, so as to quell the revolutionary wave here?" ”

Natsuki said meaningfully, "Perhaps, fair treatment is enough!" ”
