Germanic Empire: Please call me Wilhelm III

The Sun Never Sets Empire, the foggy capital, the Prime Minister’s Office on Downing Street.

After the news of the invasion of the Dutch Kingdom by the Germanic Empire, the entire high-level of the Sun Never Set Empire was also greatly shaken.

Prime Minister Herbert Asquith immediately convened a group of cabinet ministers to discuss countermeasures.

“Gentlemen, the Germanic Empire took the most direct and brutal way to break the game, and they directly invaded the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Once the Kingdom of the Netherlands is destroyed by the Germanic Empire, the consequences will be unimaginable. The Germanic Empire would not only have a longer coastline, but would also be able to gain greater advantages in future wars.

Of course, the empire’s commitment to the security of the Dutch kingdom will also become a joke, seriously damaging the empire’s credibility. The Empire will never be able to let the Germans succeed, and it will not be able to watch them destroy the Kingdom of the Netherlands! ”

Prime Minister Herbert Asquith was very resolute.

“Yes, Your Excellency Prime Minister, the Kingdom of the Blue has officially asked us for help, hoping that we will keep our promise and send troops to reinforce the Kingdom of the Blue Kingdom.” Foreign Secretary Edward Gray also said.

“Your Excellency Prime Minister, the Royal Navy is ready for combat readiness, and the main fleet of the Royal Navy has already gathered in Scapa Gulf.” Lord of the Admiralty, Sir John Fisher, said.

In recent years, the Germanic Imperial Navy has developed vigorously, which has made the Royal Navy feel a great threat. Naturally, they regarded the Germanic Imperial Navy as the biggest threat.

If the Germanic Imperial Navy could be destroyed in one fell swoop, the threat to the Royal Navy could be removed.

“Your Excellency Prime Minister, we should indeed keep our promise to rescue the Kingdom of the Netherlands. However, there is a very crucial question is, will the Kingdom of Holland be able to hold out until our reinforcements arrive? Judging from the information received so far, the advance of the Germanic Empire is very fast. They dispatched an army of about 200,000 and divided into multiple ways to fight undeclared war against the Dutch Blue Kingdom, and launched a surprise attack, which made the Dutch Kingdom have no time to react. It was impossible to protect against it, so that a large part of the country was lost.

Now, the Germanic Empire has occupied more than half of the Dutch Kingdom, and the forward forces are not far from Amsterdam. I’m afraid that the entire Dutch Kingdom will be able to be captured before it gets dark today. In such a situation, our troops are not ready, and the kingdom of the Netherlands has already been destroyed. ”

War Secretary Richard Haldane looked helpless.

Prime Minister Herbert Asquith’s face suddenly became very ugly.

“Gentlemen, don’t we have any other way? If the Kingdom of Holland is destroyed and annexed by the Germanic Empire, the consequences will be very unfavorable for the empire! Prime Minister Herbert Asquith said.

“Your Excellency Prime Minister, we can prepare the army and at the same time warn the Germanic Empire through diplomatic channels, demand that the Germanic Empire’s troops withdraw from the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and compensate the Kingdom for the losses of the Kingdom. If they accept this condition, it would be even better. If they don’t accept it, then we can only use force to deter! Foreign Secretary Edward Grey advised.

Prime Minister Herbert Asquith nodded: “This is a way. However, I personally believe that the Germans will definitely not obediently withdraw from the Dutch Kingdom, and eventually need to use force to deter. However, it may be difficult for us alone to deter the Germans. Call the Gauls together. After all, they also promised the safety of the Kingdom of Holland. ”

“Your Excellency Prime Minister, we can also call the Russian Empire as well. The Russian Empire was also our ally. At this time, they should stand with us. Edward Gray said.

“Okay, then do it. The Royal Navy and Army mobilized and prepared. At the same time, immediately contact the Gaul kingdom and the Russian Empire, and ask them to cooperate with us in warning the Germans to withdraw the Germanic kingdom. Otherwise, the entire Union of Entente would have used force against the Germanic Empire! Prime Minister Herbert Asquith said.

“Your Excellency Prime Minister, I think we can draw the Kingdom of Holland into the alliance. In this way, we have even more reasons to send troops to support the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Lord of the Admiralty, Sir John Fisher, advised.

“No, if the Kingdom of Holland becomes our ally. Then, we must go to war with the Germanic Empire for the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and there will be no room for maneuver. War Secretary Richard Haldane objected.

Prime Minister Herbert Asquith couldn’t help but hesitate, the Kingdom of the Netherlands had been neutral and refused to join any side. At this time, it is undoubtedly a good opportunity to draw the Kingdom of Holland into the alliance.

However, now that the Kingdom of the Netherlands has been invaded by the Germanic Empire, most of the country has fallen. Even the entire kingdom of the Dutch Kingdom is likely to be destroyed.

At this time, it is not necessarily a good thing that people are busy with the Dutch Blue Kingdom joining the alliance! In that case, they would have to fight the Germanic Empire.

“Let’s discuss the matter of letting the Kingdom of Holland join the alliance. Let’s find a way to let the Kingdom of Holland survive this calamity. Prime Minister Herbert Asquith said.

The other ministers also nodded their heads one after another.

“Your Excellency Prime Minister, the Germanic people are advancing too fast in the Dutch Blue Kingdom, and it is very likely that the Dutch Blue Kingdom will soon be unable to hold on. However, Queen Wilhelmina could never fall into the hands of the Germans. Sir Edward Grey continued.

Herbert Asquith nodded one after another: “That’s right, let Queen Wilhelmina come to the empire mainland, the empire promises that even if the Dutch kingdom is destroyed by the Germans this time, they will be able to form a government in exile on the empire mainland.” In the future, the Empire will definitely help them regain their country! ”

Prime Minister Herbert Asquith apparently postponed the next war if there was no way to save the Kingdom of Holland this time.

Subsequently, the Sun Never Set Empire urgently contacted the Kingdom of Holland, promising that their safety guarantee was still in effect and that it would do everything in its power to help them resist the attack of the Germanic Empire.

And proposed that Queen Wilhelmina go to the mainland of the Sun Never Set Empire for the sake of safety.

Seeing this, Queen Wilhelmina had to choose to accept the advice of the Sun Never Set Empire. She also did not want to fall into the hands of the Germanic Empire. In that case, the Kingdom of Holland will never have another chance.
