Germanic Empire: Please call me Wilhelm III

Wilhelmina, Queen of the Kingdom of the Blue Kingdom, and a group of cabinet ministers scrambled to board a warship and evacuated the Kingdom of the Blue and fled to the Empire of 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.

And the military resistance of the Dutch Kingdom is also more vulnerable.

Before dark, an infantry regiment of the 1st Infantry Division of the Germanic Imperial Army arrived in Amsterdam. The entire city seemed to be completely undefended, and easily fell into the hands of the Germanic Imperial Army.

The inhabitants of Amsterdam stared with 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 do some excesses, the soldiers of the Germanic Empire would never let them go.

Before 19:00 on March 26, the entire kingdom of the Netherlands fell into the hands of the Germanic Empire.

The Germanic Empire dispatched ten infantry divisions and an army of less than 200,000 men, and it took only one day to capture the entire kingdom of Holland. The army of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, with little decent resistance, was disarmed by the German Imperial Army. There were even many soldiers of the Dutch Kingdom who directly abandoned their weapons, took off their military uniforms, and fled the army.

In the face of the invasion of the Germanic Empire army, these Dutch kingdom soldiers were very frightened, they did not consider themselves to be the opponents of the Germanic Empire army, able to resist the attack of the Germanic Empire. For the sake of his own little life, it is naturally better to escape.

“Your Majesty, the Imperial Army’s advance 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 military advance very fast. A small country like the Kingdom of Holland is simply powerless to parry. Even if we break through the defense line by other major powers, our military can also advance quickly.

Now, the Kingdom of Holland has completely fallen into our hands. The entire land of the Kingdom of Holland has fallen. The resistance of the Dutch was not fierce, and their army hardly put up decent resistance.

Even now, fighting has broken out only in a few areas. There are a very small number of Dutch people resisting our invasion. However, following your orders, our army has already cleared them again. ”

The chief of the General Staff of the Germanic Empire, General Moltke Jr., had a smile on his face.

Although the Kingdom of Holland is nothing more than a small country. However, although there are many small countries in Europe, they have existed for hundreds of years or more.

The destruction of a country is also rare in the history of the entire European world.

The fact that the Germanic Empire could destroy a country, and still destroy a country so easily, naturally made the soldiers of the empire greatly excited and morale-boosted.

August also had a smile on his face.

After the easy destruction of the Dutch Kingdom, the Germanic Empire undoubtedly further opened the coastline to the North Sea, and the coastline was no longer as suffocated as before.

The mouth of the Rhine also completely fell into the hands of the Germanic Empire.

If nothing else, the Germanic Imperial Navy alone will obtain many excellent ports, which will be more conducive to the ships of the Germanic Imperial Navy entering the North Sea and even the Atlantic Ocean.

If the sun never sets before, the Royal Navy could easily block the coastline of the Germanic Empire and prevent the ships of the Germanic Imperial Navy from entering the North Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. So now, if the Royal Navy of the Sun Never Sets Empire wants to block the Germanic Empire again, it will be much more difficult.

Even, the Germanic Empire could build a home port of submarines along the coast of the Dutch Kingdom, and the submarines deployed here could directly enter the North Sea, posing a threat to the maritime transportation routes of the Empire itself.

“Very well, the empire can easily destroy the Dutch kingdom, which represents a great increase in the military power of the empire. In future wars, the Empire will have a better chance of winning! August said.

The high-ranking officials of the Germanic Empire nodded repeatedly, and almost everyone had a smile on their faces. Everyone is very satisfied with this military operation.

“But, gentlemen, the destruction of the Kingdom of the Netherlands is just the beginning. Next, the empire must completely annex the Kingdom of Holland. Although the population of the Dutch Kingdom is not large, only more than six million, it is almost one-tenth of the empire. Next, the empire will assimilate the Dutch people, strengthen the marriage with the Dutch people, and gradually absorb and digest all the Dutch people. I hope that in a few years, or a dozen years, the Dutch will forget their country and identify themselves as part of the Germanic Empire! August continued.

The population of the Germanic Empire was too small, and it was difficult to support a superpower. If it is possible to absorb the population of other countries by annexing other countries, this will undoubtedly be effective in solving this problem.

“Yes, Your Majesty. Our army confiscated a large amount of property belonging to the royal family of the Dutch Blue in the Kingdom of the Netherlands. In addition, those banks in the Kingdom of the Blue Kingdom, as well as the treasury, as well as the property of all the royal family members who fled to it, the property of the bureaucrats of the Kingdom of the Blue Kingdom, etc., were all confiscated by us. According to preliminary estimates, that wealth was worth more than a billion Reichsmarks. Cabinet Chief Bilo said.

“Very good, with such a large amount of income, the financial pressure on the empire will be even less. In addition, there is enough money invested in the assimilation of the Dutch people. August nodded.

“Your Majesty, it’s a pity that we weren’t able to capture Queen Wilhelmina and the other high-ranking officials of the Holland Kingdom, they have all fled to the Sun Never Set Empire.” War Minister General Helingen said.

August nodded, which was indeed very regrettable.

You don’t need to think about it, Queen Wilhelmina and other high-ranking officials of the Dutch Kingdom will definitely form a government in exile in the Sun Never Set Empire. As long as they are not eliminated, it will be difficult for the Germanic Empire to annex the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

However, August did not care.

In the next war, once the Germanic Empire defeats the Empire of the Sun, the Kingdom of the Netherlands will always have no place. At that time, the Kingdom of Holland will truly go to extinction.
