Chapter 822: Three Countries (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
The most central part of the UK is undoubtedly England and Wales, and as for Scotland and Ireland, it doesn't really matter. Even without these two places, England and Wales, with a population of 36 million, is still one of the great powers of the world.
In order to prevent the resurgence of England and Wales and threaten the security and interests of Germany, Qin Tian had to find a way to weaken their strength as much as possible. Otherwise, in the event of a future war between Germany and the United States, the British Isles would most likely become a ticking time bomb.
Qin Tian hoped to restrain England and Wales by supporting Ireland and Scotland, not to mention suppressing the military strength of England and Wales as much as possible, and at the same time helping Ireland and Scotland improve their military strength. The military strength of the two sides is not equal. In this case, if England and Wales want to rise again, it is a problem simply to equalize Ireland and Scotland.
In this way, Germany could control the entire British Isles at minimal cost.
"Ladies and gentlemen, our military campaign in the British Isles is not over yet. However, follow-up arrangements can begin. Strive for the formation of three nations in the British Isles by Christmas. Qin Tian said.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" All answered.
The German military operations on the British Isles were very smooth, and when the British troops were vulnerable and surrendered one after another, the German army's actions on the British Isles were like an outing. Everywhere they went, the British troops surrendered one after another, and there were very few British troops who dared to take up arms to resist. Especially after this part of the people was brutally suppressed by the German army and ended up miserable, not many people dared to oppose the German army.
Although the fall of the British Empire is a pain in the hearts of many Britons, it is obviously their own life that is the most important compared to before. What's more, the mighty British Empire had collapsed under the German attack, not to mention the weak individuals. Recognizing the situation is undoubtedly the most important thing!
Less than a month after the Battle of London, the Germans took control of the entire British Isles. As a result, except for the 2nd Army Corps, which remained in Britain, the remaining three corps began to withdraw from Britain one after another.
The large forces stationed in Britain also put great pressure on the logistics of the Imperial Army. Besides, the troops are already very tired after so many battles. Finally, the war is over, and it is natural to return to the homeland to rest.
At the time of the withdrawal of German troops, the German government also began to support forces in the British Isles to prepare for the follow-up arrangements.
On the island of Ireland, Sinn Féin and Irish Brothers and Republicans united to form the Republic of Ireland. Irish Brothers Republican Party leader Patrick? Pierce became the President of the Republic of Ireland, and Griffiths, the head of Sinn Féin, became the Prime Minister of the Republic of Ireland.
The first thing the Republic of Ireland did after its establishment was to sign the Treaty of Alliance and become a member of the Allied Powers. In addition, a package of military cooperation agreements was signed with Germany, under which Germany supported the Republic of Ireland in building an army of 150,000 men. This army includes the army, navy and air force, and of course the army is the main force, with six infantry divisions and two armored brigades. That's a lot of troops for a country with a population of just over four million. At the request of Germany, half of the Irish Army, in addition to being responsible for the security of its own country, was stationed in Wales and England to assist the German army in maintaining stability there.
Germany did this precisely in order to suppress the British with the help of the Irish. There are many things that the German army is not suitable to do for the sake of its own image. However, the Irish can perfectly do these people. For hundreds of years, the Irish have been bullied by the English. Now they are taking revenge on the English, and there is no psychological barrier at all.
Subsequently, a republic was also established in Scotland, and with the support of Germany, Charles, the local political mission in Scotland, became the president of the republic. Of course, in fact the Scottish Republic is just a little brother of Germany, and everything is listened to by Germany.
The Scottish Republic also joined the Central Powers and developed its military power with the support of Germany. Like the Republic of Ireland, they built up an army of 150,000 men, including the army, navy and air force. The main force is still the army, with six infantry divisions and two armored brigades. Half of these units were stationed in England and Wales to assist the German 2nd Army in maintaining law and order in Britain. Otherwise, it would have been very difficult for a single legion to control a huge part of Britain. After all, the 2nd Legion had just over 200,000 men, while Scotland and Wales combined had 3,600 men! Once caught in the middle of a war of men, the English could easily overwhelm the German 2nd Army.
The rest of England and Wales was the last country to be formed. After the loss of Ireland and Scotland, England and Wales formed the United Kingdom, and the United Kingdom of England and Wales. The king was Prince Arthur, the youngest son of Queen Victoria.
The sixty-five-year-old Prince Arthur was unlucky, and when the royal family was evacuated from Britain, the warship he was riding on with his wife and children was discovered by the German Navy. Originally, they were supposed to be sunk. However, in order to save his life, Prince Arthur ordered the warship to surrender. In this way, they survived and fell into the hands of Germany.
Prince Arthur gladly accepted the assumption of the position of King of the United Kingdom of England and Wales. Although, as the son of Queen Victoria, he did it very shamelessly. However, for himself, it was very happy. After all, not everyone has a chance to be king. Originally, he would never have had such an opportunity in his life. But now that the opportunity is in his hands, why should he give it up? What's more, in this way, he can also seek a throne for his children and grandchildren.
The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom of England and Wales is led by Andrew Brown, a Conservative party. Bernard? Served by Law. After the fall of Britain, not everyone can escape to Canada, and there are many talented people who need a stage for them to display their talents. Even if it was the stage that the enemy provided for them, they would not refuse. Because they can pretend to be compassionate, they have to cooperate with the enemy for the sake of the British people. In this way, they will still be able to become the rulers of power. As for patriotism, how many pounds is that thing worth?
