Chapter 877： Equivalent exchange

"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.)

Just after the end of the Irish War of Independence in 1921, according to the Anglo-Irish Treaty, the Irish Free State in the south was established.

Six counties in the Northern Ulster Province became Northern Ireland, and within one month of the signing of the treaty, they decided whether to stay in the Irish Free State, and the Northern Ireland Assembly chose to withdraw from the Irish Free State and stay in the United Kingdom.

After all, those in the Parliament are almost all descendants of the British in the past, and only a few want to join the Republic of Ireland.

Ireland became independent, but left a regret in the northern part of the territory. In the following decades, Northern Ireland was in constant conflict.

Now, as an important leader of Irish independence, Eamon has always been brooding about Northern Ireland. In his eyes, of course, a complete Republic of Ireland is even more important. The entire island belongs to the Irish. Why should I keep a tail?

Politics is all about the exchange of interests. Cyric has already set out the conditions. The Irish have no choice.

Solving the problems in Northern Ireland will make Irish people happy. At the same time, Irish people will also be grateful to Germany, which is the base that Germany needs to rent.

As long as Germany is stationed in these bases, it will be able to control Ireland, prevent them from being instigated by the United States, and protect the western gate of Europe. This is very important.

At the same time, this is also a plan to disintegrate Britain.

Now, Britain has fallen into the hands of Edward VIII. Britain’s Prime Minister Mosley is also the most loyal believer. However, none of these can make Cyric a complete peace of mind. Britain is already a powerful country. The shadow that will not go away can serve Germany's interests only if Britain continues to weaken.

The British colony will eventually be occupied by Germany. It is best to separate England and Scotland for the best result. As for Northern Ireland, this is the first step.

Cyric picked up the tea and sipped it slowly. The whole conference room fell silent, only the clocks behind were still walking with chuckles.

Although Ireland is a republic, the parliament has the final say But as the father of Ireland, Eamon’s words are quite weighty. It can be said that whatever he says, the parliament will agree.

After half an hour passed, Emmon finally spoke: "Well, I agree to your proposal in principle."

If Germany threatened it directly, Eamon might not agree, but now that Germany uses territory in exchange, it is a completely fair and reasonable suggestion.

Ireland will regain the north and become a complete country. At the same time, their military bases will be leased by Germany. As for the euro, if it is promoted throughout Europe, it will also be beneficial to economic development.

There is no possibility for him to refuse, because the interests are related, and if he refuses, the ensuing war will not be worthwhile.

Hearing this, Cyric nodded: "Well, Mr. Prime Minister, after you go back this time, you can reject the US proposal."

Hearing this, Emmon immediately felt the sweat on his forehead, and it came out all of a sudden, Cyric, he is simply a devil, he actually knows everything! Even the United States is wooing Ireland, he knows it!
