Chapter 877: Equivalent exchange (1/2)
”We want to use the Irish navy and air force bases.” Cyric said very clearly: ”Those military bases leased to the United Kingdom, we hope to lease them to Germany.”
What are the advantages of Ireland for Germany? Of course, it is located at the westernmost part of the entire European continent, which is a good forward base!
If you set off from Ireland, German bombers can save hundreds of kilometers, fly directly to the fleet of the United States and the German Navy, and get excellent ports.
In particular, Holbolin Island is an island in the Cok Bay of the Atlantic Ocean. The situation is dangerous when the throat is choked. The port water depth. It is an important naval base in Britain.
Now, since Germany has conquered Britain, it is natural to conquer these overseas military bases of Britain. These military bases in Ireland are of vital importance to Germany.
Hearing this, Eamon frowned. Sure enough, what he was most worried about happened. Cyric wanted to use his strong military strength to put pressure on Ireland in an attempt to occupy these military bases in Ireland. , Can there still be independent power?
However, if you disagree, then Germany can land across the sea at any time and occupy Ireland. For Germany, this is no different from walking around at home.
For a moment, Eamon didn’t know how to answer. Then, he heard Cyric continue to say more requests: “At the same time, we also sincerely invite Ireland to join our Eurozone to expand the use of the Euro and let The economic and trade between us can be better carried out.”
Two requirements, the first is to require Ireland to lose its independent national defense, and the second is to make Ireland lose its own economy and only power. If this continues, what is the difference between Ireland and being enslaved by Germany?
If you come out of British rule and become a vassal of Germany again, what is the point of your struggles over the years?
Thinking of this, Eamon wanted to refuse. Even if it was a war, even if Ireland eventually fell into the clutches of Germany, it would be better than just obedience. If you want to hand over your career to Germany, Eamon really can’t do it. To.
However, before he finished speaking, he heard Cyric continue to say: ”These are all our suggestions. You can agree or refuse.”
Cyric didn't use German force to threaten it, just suggestion!
Hearing this, Eamon was suddenly confused. What was Cyric for saying so?
”Ireland's neutrality in this war is already satisfactory to us. Now, your visit is more of a friend of ours in Germany. Treating friends, we will never let him down.” Cyric said : ”In exchange, we can keep the territory of Ireland intact.”
Hearing these words, Emmon was suddenly moved.
Ireland, the entire island of Ireland, is a big country that has struggled for more than ten years, and now it is only the southern Ireland that has gained independent power!
After the British conquered Ireland, they were already planning for the future. They continued to emigrate their population to Ireland. In the northern part of Ireland, after years of multiplication, they already had a certain base. They mainly lived In the 6 counties of Ulster Province.
In this process, conflicts with the locals have continued, but with the protection of the British government, the locals must be the ones who suffer every time.
(Actually, it is mainly a conflict of sects, so it is inconvenient to say more here.)
