The Sun Never Sets Empire, Fog Capital, Downing Street Prime Minister’s Office.
After the news of the Germanic Empire’s invasion of the Dutch Kingdom came, the entire upper echelons of the Sun Never Set Empire were also greatly shaken.
Prime Minister Herbert Asquis was the first to summon a group of cabinet ministers to discuss countermeasures.
“Gentlemen, the Germanic Empire took the most direct and brutal way of breaking the situation, and they directly invaded the Dutch kingdom. Once the Dutch kingdom was destroyed by the Germanic Empire, the consequences would be unimaginable. The Germanic Empire would not only have a longer coastline, but would also be able to gain a greater advantage in future wars.
Of course, the Empire’s commitment to the security of the Dutch Kingdom would also become a joke, seriously damaging the Empire’s credibility. The Empire could never allow the Germans to succeed, and could not watch them perish the Lotus Kingdom! ”
Prime Minister Herbert Asquis was very determined.
“Yes, Your Excellency, Prime Minister, the Kingdom of Holland has officially called us for help, and we hope that we will keep our promise and send troops to reinforce the Kingdom of Holland.” Foreign Secretary Edward Gray also said.
“Your Excellency, the Royal Navy is ready for war, and the main fleet of the Royal Navy has gathered in Scarpa Bay.” The Secretary of state of the Navy, 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 greatest threat.
If the Germanic Navy could be destroyed in one fell swoop, the threat to the Royal Navy could be lifted.
“Your Excellency, Prime Minister, we should indeed honour our commitment to rescue the Kingdom of Holland. But there is a very crucial question, will the Kingdom of Holland be able to hold out until our reinforcements arrive? Judging from what has been received so far, the Germanic Empire is advancing very fast. They dispatched an army of about 200,000 people, divided into multiple ways to fight against the Holland Kingdom without declaring a war, and launched a surprise attack, which made the Holland Kingdom have no time to react. It was so untouchable that a large part of the country was lost.
Now that the Germanic Empire had occupied more than half of the Dutch kingdom, the forward forces were not far from Amsterdam. I am afraid that the entire Kingdom of Holland will be able to be occupied before dark today. Under such circumstances, our troops are not ready, and the Lotus Blue Kingdom has been destroyed. ”
Secretary of War Richard Haldane had a look of helplessness on his face.
Prime Minister Herbert Asquis’s face suddenly became very ugly.
“Gentlemen, is there nothing else we can do?” If the Lotus Kingdom were to be destroyed and annexed by the Germanic Empire, the consequences would be very unfavorable to the Empire! Prime Minister Herbert Asquis said.
“Your Excellency, Prime Minister, we can prepare the army and at the same time warn the Germanic Empire through diplomatic channels, demanding that the germanic army withdraw from the Dutch Kingdom and compensate the Dutch Kingdom for its losses. If they accept this condition, it would be perfect. If they don’t accept it, then we can only use force to deter! Foreign Secretary Edward Gray advised.
Prime Minister Herbert Asquis nodded, “That’s one way. However, I personally believe that the Germanic peoples will certainly not obediently withdraw from the Dutch kingdom, and eventually need to use force to deter them. However, in our country alone, it may be difficult to deter the Germans. Call the Gauls along. After all, they had also promised the security of the Dutch Kingdom. ”
“Your Excellency, Prime Minister, we can also call the Tsarist Empire. The Tsarist Empire is 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 And the Russian Empire and ask them to cooperate with us in warning the Germans to evacuate the Dutch kingdom. Otherwise, the entire Allied Confederacy would use force against the Germanic Empire! Prime Minister Herbert Asquis said.
“Your Excellency, Prime Minister, I think we can pull the Dutch Kingdom into the alliance. In this case, we will have more reasons to send troops to support the Dutch kingdom. The Secretary of State for the Navy, Sir John Fisher, advised.
“No, if the Lotus Kingdom becomes our ally. Then we must go to war with the Germanic Empire for the sake of the Dutch kingdom, and there will be no room for turning. Secretary of State of the Army Richard Haldane objected.
Prime Minister Herbert Asquis hesitated, having previously remained neutral in the Holland Kingdom and refusing to join either side. At this time, it is undoubtedly a good opportunity to pull the Holland Kingdom into the alliance.
However, now the Dutch kingdom has been invaded by the Germanic Empire, and most of the country has fallen. Even the entire country of the Lotus Blue Kingdom is likely to be destroyed.
At this time, people are busy joining the alliance, which is not necessarily a good thing! In that case, they would have to fight with the Germanic Empire.
“Let’s discuss the matter of having the Lotus Blue Kingdom join the Alliance.” First find a way to let the Lotus Blue Kingdom survive this disaster. Prime Minister Herbert Asquis said.
The other ministers also nodded their heads.
“Your Excellency, Prime Minister, the Germanic advance in the Kingdom of the Netherlands is too fast, and it is very likely that the Kingdom of the Netherlands will soon be unable to hold out. However, Queen Wilhelmina could never have fallen into Germanic hands. Sir Edward Gray went on.
Prime Minister Herbert Asquis nodded repeatedly, “Yes, let Queen Wilhelmina come to the Empire itself, 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’s homeland.” In the future, the Empire will certainly help them regain their country! ”
Prime Minister Herbert Asquis apparently postponed it to the next war if there was no way to rescue the Dutch kingdom this time.
Subsequently, the Empire of the Sun never set urgently contacted the Kingdom of Holland, promising that their security guarantees would remain in effect and would do everything in their power to help them resist the Attack of the Germanic Empire.
He also proposed that Queen Wilhelmina travel to the empire itself for the sake of safety.
Queen Wilhelmina saw this and had to choose to accept the proposal of the Empire of the Rising Sun. Nor did she want to fall into the hands of the Germanic Empire. In that case, the Lotus Blue Kingdom would never have another chance.
