Chapter 823: Dismember Britain (seeking monthly ticket)
??After the fall of London, the German offensive did not stop. Several main armies began to march to other parts of the UK.
??Wales, Scotland and Ireland have all dispatched troops successively.
??Although, in Ireland Germany has supported Sinn Féin and the Brothers of the Republic. However, facing the hundreds of thousands of British troops stationed in Ireland, their strength is still too weak. If there is no direct German intervention, they want to take the entire island of Ireland, so I don't know how long it will take.
??The German army wiped out the main force of the British army in the Battle of Canterbury and the Battle of London successively. Although there were more than one million remaining British troops, they were almost all mobs. They were not even fully equipped with weapons and equipment, and their training was seriously inadequate. Some even couldn't even fire a gun. Under such circumstances, how much combat power can these British troops be expected to have?
??Facing the German attack, the remaining British troops undoubtedly had only one choice, and that was to surrender immediately. In this case, a little life can be saved more or less. Otherwise, the consequences would be much more serious.
??Of course, a very small number of British troops chose to continue to resist, and they fled to the mountains to resist stubbornly. But what awaited them was the encirclement and suppression of the German army. Although some British troops survived tenaciously like weeds. However, they no longer pose much of a threat. In general, Britain has been occupied by the German army.
??In London, the capital of Germany, Emperor Qin Tian was very happy when he received a telegram from Marshal von Falkenhain from England.
?? "Everyone, it has been one year and two months since the war started last year. Now, it can finally come to an end!" Qin Tian was very happy.
??Although, the area occupied by the German army in Britain was not large at that time. However, the main force of the German army has been eliminated, which means that the German army's occupation of the entire UK is already a certainty.
?? "Your Majesty, the war is finally coming to an end. Then, we can now focus on domestic construction and the digestion of the occupied areas!" The imperial prime minister Biluo also smiled.
??The end of this protracted war made Prime Minister Bilo finally heave a sigh of relief. Although Germany won the war, Germany undoubtedly paid a huge price for this war. The military expenditure alone is a huge expenditure. Even if a large amount of war reparations were extorted from the defeated countries, it would not be able to make up for this big hole.
?? Of course, if other benefits are counted, then Germany still made a profit. The large territory has expanded the living space of Germany. The fertile and fertile land of the Eastern European Plain has enabled Germany to be self-sufficient in food. The vast overseas colonies will enable Germany to obtain a huge market and source of raw materials. It is foreseeable that the German industry will take off once again as if it has wings.
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, what you said is wrong. The war is not over, it can only be regarded as the end of a large-scale war. The next small-scale war may have to last for a long time." Minister of the Navy Till Marshal Earl Pitts said.
?? "Oh? How should I say it?" Prime Minister Bilo was taken aback.
"If we want to win all the overseas colonies of the British, it will be impossible without military force. India, Australia and South Africa alone will have to mobilize a lot of troops to fight them down. However, the intensity of the war, no It was only that high before!" said Marshal Count Tirpitz.
?? Bi Luo nodded, of course he knew this. British colonies are still in the hands of the British. Although the British mainland was occupied by the German army, the German army has not yet occupied those colonies. The British will not hand over those colonies to Germany just because of the fall of the mainland. If Germany wants it, it can only send troops to **** it. Of course, those colonial Germanys must also be grabbed.
??Whether it is India, South Africa, or Australia, they are all rich colonies. Even though Germany has acquired many colonies now, it still covets these colonies. It can be said that the main reason why the British Empire was so powerful and able to dominate the world was because of these colonies. Through the wealth looted from these colonies, Britain was able to maintain its hegemony. If Germany can take all those colonies, then Germany's strength will be further enhanced, and its status as the world's hegemon will be completely stabilized.
?? "Those colonies are too important, we have to get them, this is unspoken!" Prime Minister Bilo said.
??Although the continuation of the war means that a large sum of money will be spent like running water. However, in order to win those colonies, no matter how much money is spent, it is worth it. What's more, the war to attack those British colonies will not be as fierce as the previous European war, and the money spent will not be too large for the German government to bear.
?? "Your Majesty, what should we do with Britain? After our troops occupy the entire territory of Britain, we must sign a peace treaty with them." Foreign Secretary Vachter asked.
?? "Support an obedient British government! After all, with such a large population in the UK, it is impossible for us to directly rule." Qin Tian said.
??Britain has a population of more than 40 million. Although it is smaller than Germany, if Germany directly rules Britain, it will definitely encounter endless resistance from the British. At that time, Britain will become a big mud pit, directly dragging Germany to death. Qin Tian would not do such a thing.
?? "Okay, Your Majesty, we will look for suitable candidates!" Wahit said.
"In addition, the dismemberment of the United Kingdom can also start. According to our previous plan, the United Kingdom will be divided into three countries, and England, Scotland and Ireland will be independent. Let them check and balance each other. Island!" Qin Tian said.
??Originally he wanted to make Wales independent, but it was more difficult. In this case, even the divided England is very powerful. This can be seen from the population alone. After the division of Ireland, there were only 4.5 million people. Scotland also has only 4.8 million people. And England and Wales add up to 36 million people! This figure is already four times that of Ireland and Scotland combined.
?? Therefore, Germany must support Ireland and Scotland, especially their military strength, and let them deal with England. Only in this way can Germany's control over the British Isles be ensured.
