Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

As for the Alaska landing war that Americans are worried about, Yannick certainly would not choose to launch a landing war in winter, especially in a cold place like Alaska that passes through the Arctic Circle. If we really want to launch a landing battle, if soldiers accidentally fall into the water, they will be frozen into popsicles on the spot; and the cold-proof clothing they need to wear will also greatly limit their combat capabilities.

However, he did not intend to make things easier for the Americans. Heavy bombers taking off from Adak Island and attack aircraft groups taking off from the aircraft carrier sailing into Alaska waters kept bombing the defensive positions in Alaska. On the other side of the Atlantic, a huge fleet of four battleships and six aircraft carriers was assembled, sailing toward the Saint-Pierre and Miquelon Islands.

The Saint-Pierre and Miquelon Islands are located in the North Atlantic 25 kilometers south of the Canadian island of Newfoundland in North America. The entire territory consists of eight islands including Saint-Pierre, Miquelon, and Langlade.

Although this archipelago is located at the "doorstep" of Canada (the closest distance to Canada is only more than 20 kilometers, if you don't look carefully, it will be considered a small island of Canada), it actually belongs to France.

As early as 1520, Portuguese explorers discovered this archipelago. However, due to geographical and climatic reasons, this archipelago did not have any valuable resources except for growing a small amount of vegetables, so the Portuguese did not think much of it. As a result, it was captured by French sailors in 1534 and became French territory. Although the island has few available resources, it is close to the sea and has abundant fish to catch. Therefore, in 1604, a large number of French fishermen went here and established the first permanent settlement.

Although France was quite powerful at the time, the British Empire, which was also a European power, was not a vegetarian. The war between Britain and France for hegemony spread from Europe to the Americas, and even affected the Saint-Pierre and Miquelon Islands. After various wars, Britain occupied almost all of France's North American colonies, but retained France's fishing rights in North America, thus retaining the St. Pierre and Miquelon Islands to France. After that, France allowed the exiles to officially settle here.

From the second half of the 18th century to the early 19th century, the islands were occupied by the British many times. It was not until the advent of the Paris Convention in 1883 that France regained the Saint-Pierre and Miquelon Islands in 1914 according to the Paris Convention.

The islands of St. Pierre and Miquelon are also very close to the U.S. mainland, and a U.S. senator once advocated for the U.S. to annex the islands. He worries that France's influence on St. Pierre and Miquelon may have a political or cultural impact on Canada and the United States. At the same time, the French fishing fleet may have a considerable impact on the fishing industry in surrounding waters. However, his suggestion did not succeed.

Canada followed the United States in declaring war on European countries and sent troops to occupy these islands and built some defensive positions on the islands. It also brought in several old-fashioned coastal defense artillery and deployed them in defensive positions on the coastline.

This morning, the Canadian soldiers on the lookout suddenly shouted. "Fleet! Enemy fleet discovered!" The squad leader in the observation post quickly ran up to the observation post, picked up his binoculars and looked into the distance, and saw a dense number of warships approaching the sea in the distance.

"Oh God!" He did not dare to delay and immediately reported the news to the commander of the island's garrison.

The garrison commander immediately issued a battle order, ordering all units to enter first-level combat readiness, and all units to prepare for sea artillery attacks. The huge siren driven by an electric motor sounded a loud and long siren, and then the sirens distributed across the eight islands were sounded one after another. For a while, the sky over the islands was filled with a heart-shaking and harsh sound.

Over the past few days, the soldiers stationed on the island have not relaxed and have been intensifying their training day and night. Now it is finally time to test the training results. The soldiers quickly rushed to their respective fighting positions. The huge steel turret slowly turned according to the parameters transmitted from the command post. The dark muzzle pointed directly at the shadow of the ship in the distance. The loader operated the boom to lift the huge turret. The warhead was hoisted onto the guide rail. The first shell was neatly stuffed into the barrel. The ammunition hand unscrewed the safety bolt and pried open the metal cartridge, and pulled out the silk-wrapped propellant pack from inside.

While these soldiers were busy in an orderly manner, the secretary of the Canadian Embassy in Sweden walked into Ambassador Liam's office with a strange expression on his face. "Mr. Ambassador, this is a call from the German Embassy."

"German Embassy?" Ambassador Liam frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then ordered. "Take it over." He secretly thought that nothing good would happen if the Germans called.

Then he picked up the phone on his desk and heard the cold voice of the German ambassador on the other end of the phone. "Your Excellency Ambassador Liam, on behalf of our country, I now formally inform your country that you are required to withdraw the troops stationed in St. Pierre and Miquelon within one hour, and you are not allowed to destroy any military facilities. Otherwise, your capital, Ottawa, will be The fate of Washington!" After saying this, he hung up the phone without waiting for Ambassador Liam's reaction.

"..." The muscles on Ambassador Liam's face twitched involuntarily a few times, and he cursed into the microphone, but he did not dare to delay and immediately called his secretary to send a telegram to the country.

Soon, the news was reported layer by layer, and finally sent to the Prime Minister's Office in Ottawa.

When he received the news, the Canadian Prime Minister almost collapsed on the ground with fear. He immediately called the Minister of Defense and asked him to quickly withdraw the garrison on the St. Pierre and Miquelon Islands.

"These damn Germans are so bullying that they don't take us seriously at all." The Minister of Defense cursed angrily.

"There is no time." At this time, the Canadian Prime Minister was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. "There is less than half an hour left. Do you want to watch Ottawa be bombed into rubble?!" The Germans did not take them seriously. Canada has not been bombed since the declaration of war. I am afraid the Germans I think it would be a waste to drop bombs on their heads.

But what's wrong with this? Is it possible that like the United States next door, being bombarded every day makes you feel refreshed?

He wished he could burn incense and make the Germans forget about them.

The Minister of Defense sighed depressedly. Of course he knew himself and knew that even if he defended the St. Pierre and Miquelon Islands, he would not be able to hold them. Just look at the Hawaiian Islands, Midway Islands and other places that the Americans lost. Even the Americans couldn't stop the German attack, so why could they?

Not only would the island be lost, but it would also have to be bombed by the Germans, which would really outweigh the gains.

Thinking of this, the Minister of Defense had to send an order to withdraw the soldiers from St. Pierre and Miquelon Islands.
