“Why did the British want to occupy Northern Ireland, instead of handing it over to the other side when Ireland became independent?”

Before the negotiations began, the diplomat who served as Ribbentrop’s deputy on Hans’ side asked this question curiously while the British wanted to take over.

Ribbentrop is Hans’ most outstanding diplomat at present. He has outstanding diplomatic skills, and what is even more valuable is that he has a very good international strategy and overall view.

In addition, he was one of the earliest people to follow Mainz, so he was deeply trusted by Mainz and got a lot of power from Mainz, which made Ribbentrop gradually become the most outstanding diplomat of this era.

Hearing the words of the Deputy Foreign Minister, Ribbentrop glanced at the Irish who were actively setting up the venue and helping them to deal with various sundries, and smiled:”Look, the clothes worn by the Irish are different from those of the British want to take care of?”

The Deputy Foreign Minister looked at it and it seemed to be true. Both Britain and Ireland belong to the British Isles and are very close to each other, but the difference in clothing is indeed quite large.

“The clothes worn by the Scottish people are also different from those worn by the British. I heard that Scottish men like to wear long skirts, which is considered a shame in the British Isles, after all, only women wear such things!”

Scottish long skirts are very famous in Europe, but what is famous is not the clothes worn by the British, but the fact that both men and women wear such long skirts, which makes people feel very strange!

Ribbentrop used a very easy-to-understand example to make the Deputy Foreign Minister understand the key to this issue: Although the British Isles, Scotland and Ireland are very close and belong to the British Isles, there are still great differences between these countries.

Whether it is lifestyle or history and culture, the British Isles are not quite the same as them.

The British Isles integrated the entire British Isles only after they completed the Industrial Revolution and their national strength was greatly enhanced, so they had the strength to conquer these neighboring countries.

Scotland was conquered a little earlier, more than two hundred years ago, and Ireland was conquered a little later, so far only.

About 120 years.

This period of time is similar to the time when the British Empire was expanding abroad, grabbing land, and occupying a large number of colonies. Therefore, in the early days, the British Empire treated these areas no differently from its overseas colonies.

Originally, Scotland and Ireland had very different historical culture and living habits from the British Empire. In addition, the British Empire exploited them as colonies and caused tragedies such as the Irish Famine. This naturally caused resentment and resistance in these areas, so the foundation of the British Empire’s rule over these areas was not solid.

In addition, the British Empire has always held the mindset of businessmen, thinking only about making money, not doing long-term business.

When they were strong, it was still better. With their strong military strength and national strength, they can suppress these places.

But now that they are weak, their control over these places will naturally be greatly reduced.

Ireland is also independent because of this.

As for Scotland, although it is not independent for the time being, it is only a matter of time before they become independent.

The British Empire is good at stirring up trouble.

Although they let Ireland become independent, they will not let the other party feel comfortable.

Therefore, they left the North, which has a more important geographical location, as a nail on the heads of the Irish.

After the British Empire has overcome the current crisis, it can use Northern Ireland as a base to move south and conquer Ireland again.

Therefore, for Ireland, taking back Northern Ireland is vital to them. If they cannot take it back, their country will not be unified, and their own security will also be affected. to a great threat.

In fact, the British Empire’s rule over the British Isles was a complete failure. Such a small area actually still retains five forces. The British Empire

, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, and Ireland! Logically speaking, they had hundreds of years to integrate and digest these territories, but I don’t know how they ended up like this.

Historically, in the 21st century, as the British Empire continued to weaken, the pressure of division faced by the British Empire became greater and greater. Not only did Scotland continue to hold independence referendums to demand independence, but Northern Ireland also strongly protested after their withdrawal from the EU and demanded to return to the embrace of Ireland.

As for Wales, which was so close, it also made a fuss about independence. The British Empire ended up with a bare commander, and only had to play with itself!

If these three territories were really allowed to become independent, the area of the British Empire would shrink by half, and the population would decrease by at least 25 million, a decrease of one third!

If others say that Hans is an army with a country, then the British Empire is a group of businessmen with a country!

Using the army to manage the country will easily lead to militarism and extreme fascist tendencies.

However, if businessmen are allowed to manage the country, they will be profit-driven and only care about immediate interests, regardless of long-term interests!

The good South Asian colonies were abandoned because they felt that the cost of management was too high!

The original one-third acre of land in the mainland would be assimilated sooner or later if it was well managed. As a result, the other party had to be exploited as a colony and a blood feud was forged!

The final outcome of the sun never set was that the good empire was torn apart, and 33 million square kilometers of colonies fell one after another. Everything could be given up, and everything was measured by interests. The final result was that its area shrank by 99.5%, leaving only a small piece of land in the southern part of the mainland!

This is really a completely failed country!

Although Ribbentrop could not see the embarrassment of the sun never setting in the 21st century, at this moment, he could already feel the current situation of the sun never setting!

Thinking of this, his thoughts returned to this negotiation.

Hans has now received intelligence that King George V has fled to South Asia. This move is easy to understand. The British Empire has put their eggs in two baskets and plans to leave a way out for themselves.

However, although they have left a way out, they are reluctant to give up their own land and try to negotiate with Hans. To be honest, Ribbentrop did not understand this move. As the world hegemon, the British Empire is bowing down to Hans for a peace talk.

But the problem is that the king is gone, who is bowing down to Hans?

The British Empire or the British Empire?

Will King George V of South Asia recognize this peace talk in the mainland?

If not, this peace talk is meaningless, and the war will continue until one side is completely defeated.

And what other uses does this peace talk in the British Empire have besides greatly reducing the losses of the German army and making it easier for the German army to occupy the entire British Empire?

If they had been more decisive and followed King George V to flee and rebuild the empire overseas, it might have been a good move, but now they no longer have that chance.
