Chapter 876: The Prime Minister of Ireland Visits
Time has entered the end of 39 years, and with the end of the war on the European battlefield, Ciric has also won great personal prestige.
Because of the assassination of the Führer, Ciric launched a war of invasion, and the German iron hoof, set foot throughout Europe, in this war, Germany showed the world their iron army.
Any enemy, in front of the German armored forces, was crushed, starting from Poland, to France, to England, one after another powerful old European countries, surrendered to the feet of Germany.
Now Germany is an invincible presence on the European continent.
Berlin has also become the center of the whole of Europe.
On this day, Berlin's international airport welcomed a passenger plane, a special plane flying from the west of the United Kingdom.
When the plane stopped, a tall, burly man in a suit and leather shoes stepped out of the plane, he was tall, burly, and wore a pair of polite glasses.
Eamon de Valera, Prime Minister of Ireland, at this time, he has mixed feelings.
All his life, he fought for the independence of Ireland.
He was born in New York, USA. Studied at Royal College Dublin. In his early years, he joined Sinn Féin, led the anti-British struggle for Irish independence, and persisted in the struggle against British colonial rule for a long time, and was arrested and imprisoned or exiled many times.
In 1918 he became chairman of the Sinn Féin government and in 1926 he founded the Republican Party. In 1932, he became Prime Minister of the Irish Free State. When the Republic of Ireland was established in 1937, the Irish Republic was reconstituted and a new constitution was drafted in an effort to break away from its dependency on the United Kingdom.
It can be said that he is the founding father of Ireland's independence.
"Prime Minister Eamun, you are very welcome to visit Germany." Ribbentrop greeted him cordially at the airport: "Führer Shirek is in the Führer's capital, waiting for your arrival. ”
"Thank you very much for the gracious invitation." Aemon took his entourage and got into the accompanying motorcade and, in accordance with the normal etiquette of a diplomatic visit, went to the presidential palace.
The red-carpeted head of state was quite lively today, with two welcoming teams of state guests blowing the Irish national anthem, and when the convoy passed by, the concierge team fired a gun to welcome them.
Dressed in a black uniform, Ciric greeted them with his wife.
The most powerful man in the empire, the man who single-handedly set off the war throughout Europe.
"Very welcome, Prime Minister Eamon, we in Germany are very supportive of the independence of Ireland, which Britain forcibly enslaved with guns, which was the evil of the old colonial era." Ciric said.
Ciric's words moved Eamon quite a lot, yes, the Irish have endured British slavery for nearly a thousand years, and Ireland has been enslaved by the British since the invasion of King Henry II until modern times.
(Regarding the history of Ireland, East China Zhixiong will not go into details, so as not to talk about the number of words.) )
It took Emmon his life to fight for the independence of Ireland, and finally, two years ago, Ireland became independent and freed from British rule, which Emmon has always considered a lifelong honor.
Among them, there was the support of Germany, which had always supported Eamond in the independence of Ireland.
Giving the British eye medicine is, of course, Germany's favorite thing to do, especially since when Britain became involved in the war in Europe, it could no longer take care of the affairs of Ireland, so it had to let Ireland go.
Eamun, the prime minister, is also good, back then, after the end of World War II, Eamon once went to Germany to mourn Hitler, and as a result, the entire West was very angry and became a political stain on Eamon.
It can be said that this man has feelings for Germany, and now, Germany also needs to win over Ireland!
After the conquest of Britain by Germany, the danger of Germany fighting on two fronts was almost gone, and only Ireland was still a factor of instability.
The United States, in the fight against Ireland's idea.
If Ireland were to fall to the United States, although this possibility was slim and would be a great scourge for Germany, the United States would have a reliable springboard to attack Europe at any time.
Therefore, Ciric had to nip this danger in the bud, and at his kind invitation, the Prime Minister of Ireland came to visit Germany in person.
After the two sides shook hands cordially, they walked into the venue, and a state visit began.
"We are very satisfied with Ireland's neutrality in this European conflict." "It's also a cornerstone on which we can continue to be friendly," Hilek said. ”
After the German invasion of Poland, Britain and France declared war on Germany, and the next day Eammon told the House of Commons that neutrality was the best policy for Ireland, and the House of Commons almost unanimously supported it.
As the father of the nation of Irish independence, Eamon's words had a great impact on the House of Commons, not to mention that the British, who had ridden on their heads, were now freed from British slavery and were even more reluctant to support the British.
A few days later, Irish officials traveled to London to clarify Ireland's policy of neutrality. Of all the Commonwealth member states at the time, Ireland was the only neutral country.
"That's what we should do." Eamon said: "I have always sympathized with the assassination of Führer Hitler, who was a great leader, and you, who are better than the blue, and we are very surprised by what Germany has achieved in recent years. ”
Ciric nodded: "At the same time, we are also very satisfied with Ireland's punishment of those traitors who joined the British army. ”
After all, Britain has ruled Ireland for nearly a thousand years, and many people have feelings for Britain in private.
So, some of the Irish, ran to join the British army! Before and after, more than 60,000 people have passed! You know, the total number of the armed forces of Ireland is only 40,000!
They either went to England via Northern Ireland or directly to the British mainland, and joined the British army, many of whom took part in the Battle of Dover and the Battle of London.
In order to avoid arousing the displeasure of Ireland, the British army did not form a corresponding formed "Irish unit", but distributed them into various units.
And now, with the defeat and surrender of the British, most of these Irishmen have returned to Ireland.
Edmon was outraged by these deserters and personally signed an order to treat them as deserters and bring them to trial.
At least 5,000 people have been convicted by military courts, and those who have not been sentenced are, in Ireland, street rats, the characters that everyone shouts and beats.
"It's disgusting that we didn't regulate it strictly, and they actually went to the UK." Emon did not hide his anger in the slightest: "We are very sorry for your understanding. ”
Those were Irish, after all, and Germany could start a war against Ireland at any time under the pretext that those Irish were in the British army, but Germany did not, and they were still friendly.
"We believe that this is not what your government intended, and at the same time, we in Germany, are not belligerent countries, and in many cases, we can deepen our relations through negotiation, wouldn't it be better?" "When you come to Berlin, I hope that more agreements can be reached," said Ciric. ”
"I wonder what kind of cooperation you plan to deepen?" There was a lot of alarm in Eammon's heart, Ireland had just become independent, and should it become a vassal of Germany again?
But if the Germans really made a request, could they refuse?
