Queen Wilhelmina of the Dutch Kingdom and a group of cabinet ministers scrambled to board a warship, evacuated the Dutch Kingdom, and fled to the Empire where the sun never sets.
Members of the royal family, as well as relatives of the ministers, also boarded other warships or cruise ships, and fled early when the Germanic army arrived in Amsterdam.
This plunged the whole of Amsterdam and even the entire Kingdom of Holland into chaos.
The military resistance of the Dutch Blue Kingdom was also more fragile.
Just before dark, an infantry regiment of the 1st Infantry Division of the Imperial Germanic Army arrived in Amsterdam. The whole city seemed to be completely defenseless, and it easily fell into the hands of the Germanic Army.
The inhabitants of Amsterdam stared in horror or anger at the invaders from the Germanic Empire. However, no one dared to resist.
Because they knew very well that if they dared to commit some extreme acts, these Soldiers of the GermanIc Empire would never let them go.
By 19:00 on March 26, the entire Kingdom of Holland had fallen into the hands of the Germanic Empire.
The Germanic Empire sent ten infantry divisions, an army of less than 200,000 people, and took only one day to capture the entire Lotus Kingdom. The army of the Dutch Kingdom, with little decent resistance, was disarmed by the Germanic Army. Even many soldiers of the Dutch Blue Kingdom directly abandoned their weapons, took off their uniforms, and fled the army.
In the face of the invasion of the Germanic Empire’s army, the soldiers of the Dutch Blue Kingdom were so frightened that they did not consider themselves to be the opponents of the Germanic Empire’s army and could resist the attack of the Germanic Empire. For the sake of his own life, it is natural to escape.
“Your Majesty, the Advance of the Imperial Army is very rapid, which proves that our strategy of equipping the troops with trucks and other vehicles on a large scale is correct. This makes our army advance very fast. A small country like the Lotus Blue Kingdom is simply powerless. Even if we are replaced by other great powers, if we break through the defensive line, our army can advance quickly.
Now, the Lotus Blue Kingdom has completely fallen into our hands. The entire land of the Lotus Blue Kingdom has fallen. The dutch resistance was not fierce, and their armies made little decent resistance.
Even now, there have been only sporadic fights in some areas. There were a very small number of Holland people resisting our invasion. However, on your orders, our army has cleared them again. ”
The Chief of the General Staff of the Germanic Empire, Admiral Moltke Jr., had a smile on his face.
Although the Lotus Kingdom is only a small country. However, although there are many small countries in Europe, they have existed for hundreds of years or even longer.
The destruction of a country is also rare in the entire history of Europe.
The Fact that the Germanic Empire was able to destroy a country, and that it was so easy to destroy a country, naturally greatly boosted the morale and morale of the Imperial soldiers.
Auguste’s face was also full of smiles.
After the easy destruction of the Dutch kingdom, the Germanic Empire undoubtedly further opened up the coastline to the North Sea, no longer as before, the coastline is very depressed.
The mouth of the Rhine also fell completely into the hands of the Germanic Empire.
Among other things, the Germanic Imperial Navy alone would have obtained many excellent ports, which would be more conducive to the german imperial navy’s ships entering the North Sea and even the Atlantic Ocean.
If the Royal Navy could easily blockade the coastline of the Germanic Empire and prevent the ships of the Germanic Empire from entering the North Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. So now, the Imperial Navy wants to seal the Germanic Empire again, and it is much more difficult.
Even, the Germanic Empire could build submarine home ports along the coast of the Dutch Kingdom, and submarines deployed here could enter the North Sea directly, posing a threat to the sea transport lines of the Empire itself.
“Very well, the Empire was able to easily destroy the Lotus Blue Kingdom, which represented a great increase in the military power of the Empire. In future wars, the Chances of the Empire winning will be greater! August said.
The top brass of the Germanic Empire nodded their heads, almost all with a smile on their faces. Everyone is very satisfied with this military operation.
“But, gentlemen, the destruction of the Lotus Kingdom has only just begun. Next, the Empire will have to completely annex the Lotus Blue Kingdom. Although the population of the Lotus Blue Kingdom is not large, only more than six million, it is almost equivalent to one-tenth of the empire. Next, the Empire will assimilate the Lotus, strengthen the marriage of the Lotus, and gradually absorb and digest all the Lotus. I hope that, in a few years, or a dozen years from now, the Hollanders will forget their country and identify themselves as part of the Germanic Empire! August continued.
The Germanic Empire was too small to support a superpower. If the population of other countries can be digested by annexing other countries, this can undoubtedly be an effective solution to this problem.
“Yes, Your Majesty. Our army in the Kingdom of Holland confiscated a large amount of property belonging to the royal family of the Queen of Holland. In addition, the banks of the Lotus Kingdom, as well as the treasury, as well as the property of all the royals who fled to the Dutch Kingdom, the property of the bureaucrats of the Dutch Kingdom, etc., were all confiscated by us. According to preliminary estimates, those riches are worth more than a billion Imperial Marks. Cabinet Chief Bilo said.
“Well, with such a large sum of income, the financial pressure on the Empire will be even less. In addition, there was enough money to invest in the assimilation of the Dutch. August nodded.
“Your Majesty, it is a pity that we have not been able to capture Queen Wilhelmina and the other high-ranking members of the Dutch Kingdom, who have fled to the Empire of the Rising Sun.” The Minister of War, General Hehringen, said.
August nodded, which was indeed a great pity.
Needless to think, Queen Wilhelmina and the other high-ranking members of the Holland Kingdom would certainly form a government-in-exile in the Empire of the Rising Sun. As long as they were not destroyed, it would be difficult for the Germanic Empire to annex the Lotus Kingdom.
However, Auguste did not care.
In the next war, once the Germanic Empire defeated the Sun Never Set Empire, the Holland Kingdom would have no place to stand. At that time, the Lotus Blue Kingdom will truly go to extinction.
