Transmigrated as the Crown Prince
Chapter 858 Canada (1)
After ordering the withdrawal of the garrison on the St. Pierre and Miquelon Islands, the Minister of Defense sat down on the sofa like a deflated balloon, sighing deeply, with a face full of helplessness and grief. What kind of war is this? A phone call from the enemy, and they obediently retreated to the island's defenders without firing a single shot. Is this the enemy or the master? Is there anything more cowardly than this? !
Canada in the original time and space was quite tough. During the entire World War II, the number of Canadian troops on the battlefield reached more than 1 million, which was similar to that of Italy. However, the Canadian army is not even a little bit better than Italy in terms of weapons, equipment and combat effectiveness. Canada is particularly strong in its air force. It has 45 overseas squadrons and an air force of 250,000 people. It is the fourth most powerful air force in the world. Canada's naval power is also remarkable, with thousands of warships, including five aircraft carriers.
The Canadian army has participated in many famous battles, some of which were led by the Canadian army. Among them, the bloody battle at the Scheldt Estuary is the most classic battle. The general background of this battle is that on June 6, 1944, the Allied forces had landed from the west of the European continent to outflank the country and successfully carried out the Normandy landing. Britain has occupied Brussels and Antwerp, two important core strategic locations. Antwerp, as a very important deep-water port in Europe, was the focus of fierce competition between the Allies and the Germans. Although the British army occupied the city of Antwerp, they did not control its peripheral port facilities. The German army still controlled the mouth of the Scheldt River.
In September 1944, the Canadian First Army, under the leadership of Lieutenant General Guy, accepted the military mission of clearing the Germans at the Scheldt Estuary. This battle was quite difficult. The terrain was complex and full of swampy waters. The Germans had laid all kinds of mines, and there were also various defensive fortresses along the rivers and on the islands. All these were brought by the Allied forces led by the Canadian Army. Huge casualties. The Canadian Legion fought with the German army for more than a month and finally completed the combat mission. The Allied forces suffered more than 12,000 casualties, including more than 6,800 Canadian soldiers. The losses of the German army were even more heavy. More than 40,000 German soldiers were captured by the Canadian First Army alone. This shows the strong combat effectiveness of the Canadian First Army. The entire Dutch border north of the Rhine was liberated by Canadian soldiers.
However, these were all under the premise that Britain had not fallen and Germany could not reach the American continent at that time.
But now the British Empire has long since fallen, and the United States next door is bombed every day. Major cities, including the capital Washington, are bombed by the Germans but are unable to fight back. Under this situation, Canada cannot be as tough as in the original time and space.
"This time we withdrew like this, what will happen next time the Germans ask us to cede land?" St. Pierre and Miquelon Islands originally belonged to France. Even if they withdrew the defenders without firing a shot, at least it would be justified. , but what should we do if the Germans take the next step and have their thoughts on their Canadian homeland? When the Germans build an air base on the archipelago, not to mention the German heavy bombers, even attack aircraft will be able to reach Ottawa.
Will the Germans let them get out of Canada collectively?
The Prime Minister of Canada cursed, hating how iron can never become steel. "These useless Americans!" He was so obsessed at first that he actually listened to Roosevelt's rhetoric and seized British warships and gold, which ended up like this. The piles of pounds sterling and European foreign exchange in the treasury were turned into waste paper. The German bombers circled above their heads. They almost lost their courage and had to hand over the seized British gold.
During the United States' sneak attack on Greenland, Canada also sent those impounded warships. As a result, all the fleets sent were sunk, and thousands of sailors were also taken on board.
The Prime Minister originally planned to resign, but at this time, the throne of Prime Minister has become a hot potato, and the successor is likely to have to sign a surrender document in the future, and will be infamy for thousands of years. As a result, no one was willing to take the blame, and the parliament did not even approve his resignation. As the prime minister, he could only bite the bullet and do it now.
Now hearing what the Minister of Defense said, the Prime Minister sighed with some self-deprecation. "Otherwise we can simply surrender, and maybe we can keep our homeland."
The Minister of Defense glanced at him in surprise, but did not react much and sighed deeply again. "The problem is that the Germans' conditions are too harsh." When Germany launched the euro, in order to exchange European foreign exchange in the national treasury, the Canadians secretly contacted the Germans through neutral countries such as Switzerland and expressed their willingness to return British warships and gold.
As a result, the Germans did not agree. They said that it was not impossible to exchange the money. Wasn't this already a declaration of war? Then pay war reparations.
Naturally, the Canadians are not happy either. If we haven't fought yet, why should we pay war reparations? After hearing the amount of reparations offered by Germany, Canadian senior officials almost lost their temper collectively. This is a bloody robbery! If they really paid this amount of war reparations, the entire country would go bankrupt!
As a result, no one expected that after the official start of the war, the United States would be pinned to the ground by Germany and frantically rubbed, without any backhand. The American fleets were sunk one after another, and the cities were bombed one after another. Even when they approached the Soviet Union, they were unable to reverse this bad war situation. The European troops on the Soviet-German battlefield all advanced to their capitals. At the doorstep.
"Maybe we should talk to the Germans. As long as we are not allowed to cede land and are allowed to remain neutral, we can accept conditions that are not too excessive. Even if the Germans offer more compensation, we can pay it back slowly. Our Canadian mineral resources are so rich that they can also be used to pay off debts." He had been complaining that these bastards in Parliament opposed his resignation, so he didn't have to worry about it and he had to end this war as soon as possible.
As for the amount of compensation, he was already destined to be infamy for eternity, so the compensation was nothing. He didn't pay for it himself anyway.
The Minister of Defense did not object, but was still hesitant. "But I'm afraid the Americans won't agree." They are adjacent to the United States, but there are no natural dangers such as the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. If the Americans don't agree to them making peace with the Germans alone, they will use force against them. what to do?
The Prime Minister curled his lips disdainfully. "The Americans are thankful that we did not join the German camp. What else do they dare to say? How dare they attack us? Are they not afraid that we will immediately turn to Germany?" Even if the Americans attack Canada with all their strength, they cannot control it in a few days. Live throughout Canada. At that time, Canada will fall into the German camp. If it persists for a few days, it will wait for Germany's support.
