German attack was very sudden, but it was not that no one in Gaul had issued a warning.
When the German Seventh Army began to approach the border area, the Gauls in the border area reported this situation to the Gaul government.
However, this intelligence was not taken seriously by the Gaul government, and soon it lay in the garbage dump with a large amount of other intelligence from the people.
On the 3rd, the Seventh Army began to attack.
However, the place where the German army attacked was beyond everyone’s expectations.
They did not choose to attack Belgium directly from Aachen, but attacked the Windmill Kingdom from the Ruhr area.
Not to mention that the Gauls and Belgians did not expect it, the Windmill people were also confused!
They are a neutral country, and their relationship with Hans has always been very good. Why did Hans attack them without declaring war?
No one can answer this question!
Because the Windmill Kingdom is a neutral country, their homeland is not fortified, and their own military strength is also very weak. At present, there are only two armies, less than 100,000 people!
Moreover, the Windmill Kingdom has maintained peace for more than a hundred years. The long-term peace has made the people of this country insensitive to the threat of war.
Perhaps it is the bad terrain of the Windmill Kingdom, or they are lucky to avoid wars again and again, which makes the Windmill Kingdom feel that even if there is another large-scale war in Europe, they can still stay out of it, just like the First World War!
Moreover, the Windmill Kingdom has a good relationship with several major European powers. The Windmill Kingdom, which is based on trade and agriculture, is an important trading country of Hans. They have frequent economic and trade exchanges with Hans. Even when Hans was blockaded by the British Empire and Gaul, they did not join the team to isolate Hans, and always maintained a legitimate trade relationship with Hans! The relationship between the
Windmill Kingdom and the British Empire is also very good. Their colonies in Southeast Asia are actually maintained by the protection provided by the British Empire. If the British Empire is defeated in the Far East, then the Windmill Kingdom’s colony in Southeast Asia will be lost in an instant, and they will not be able to continue to suck blood from the Southeast Asian colonies!
This policy of maintaining good relations with both sides, not offending anyone, and maintaining neutrality has allowed the Windmill Country to maintain peace for more than a hundred years. This makes the Windmill people generally feel that their policy is correct. As long as they continue to adhere to this policy, they can continue to stay out of it and will not be involved in the war!
However, this time, the Windmill people were wrong!
An innocent man is guilty of possessing a treasure!
The main reason why the German army invaded the Windmill Country is because their geographical location is extremely important!
Moreover, the poor military strength of the Windmill Country also gave the German army an opportunity to take advantage of. If the Windmill Country had 1 million troops at this time, Mainz would never consider using force against them now, because fighting in such a bad terrain in the Windmill Country would be a disaster!
……
Although the Seventh Army ranks only seventh among the seven armies in Hans, it is the weakest army.
But this does not mean that their combat effectiveness is not good. It can only mean one thing: the strength of other armies is too strong!
Therefore, after entering the territory of Windmill Country, the Seventh Army was like a god descending to earth, and defeated the army of Windmill Country, disarmed it, and captured it.
The war started on the 3rd. At 4 pm, the German army had already arrived at Rotterdam. The speed of attack was so fast that it was simply amazing!
Although Rotterdam is not the capital of Windmill Country, it is a very important port city in Windmill Country. The shipping here is extremely developed. Hundreds of ships come in and out every day. The cargo throughput of the port is one of the best even in Europe!
Rotterdam was attacked, and the news of the German invasion quickly spread throughout the Windmill Country!
The people of the entire Windmill Country were panicked!
The nobles and royal family members of the capital Amsterdam had already begun to flee to the sea in panic!
Since the German army has launched an invasion against them, the peace that has been maintained for more than a hundred years no longer exists.
And the family knows their own affairs. They know very well how poor their military strength is. It is simply a dream to expect their troops to resist the wolf-like German army.
So these people immediately chose to flee, preferring to abandon some property rather than put themselves under the threat of war!
The population of the Windmill Country is not small, but the overall nationals are very wealthy. In addition, they are an important maritime trading country. In the 16th century, they were also known as the Sea Coachman. Therefore, the shipping business in the Windmill Country is extremely developed. After the nobles began to flee, a large number of citizens also joined the ranks of fleeing in panic!
The capital is so panicked, so other places are even more unbearable!
So, the German army was like an armed parade along the way. Almost without fighting, they successively captured Utrecht and Haiya and quickly approached the capital of the Windmill Country, Amsterdam.
At this time, it was only two days since the start of the war!
This speed is so fast that European countries have no time to react!
On November 6, the German Seventh Army captured Amsterdam, the capital of the Windmill Kingdom. At the same time, Model’s Second Army, which arrived from the territory of Jecke, also attacked from the north and captured Groningen, an important town in the north of the Windmill Kingdom.
So far, three-quarters of the 40,000 square kilometers of land in the Windmill Kingdom have been occupied, and only a very small part of the land has not fallen!
After the King of the Windmill Kingdom, Queen Wilhelmina, issued a national public letter calling on the people of the Windmill Kingdom to take up arms and fight the invaders, she took the royal cruise ship with her family to seek asylum in the British Empire!
Queen Wilhelmina was also a man of affection and righteousness. When she fled, she also sent someone to inform the last emperor of the Second Empire, William II, and invited him to leave by ship together.
The reason is that Hans is no longer an empire, but a republic, so the German army is likely to be unfavorable to him as a former king, and it is very likely that he will be arrested and brought back to the country for trial. If things go wrong, he may end up like King Louis XVI, with his head and body separated!
William II thought about it seriously, and then rejected Queen Wilhelmina’s kindness with backbone.
He felt that he was already a king of a fallen country, and he might not be able to go back to Hans in this life.
At this time, he could still watch his homeland closely in the Windmill Kingdom. If he fled with Queen Wilhelmina, he would inevitably be farther away from his homeland.
Moreover, Queen Wilhelmina was going to the British Empire, and William II had a very bad relationship with George V, the King of the British Empire, who was his cousin.
The two met on the battlefield during World War I, and William II lost the battle. Not only did he lose the throne, but he also lost his country!
However, George V laughed to the end with the British Empire. Not only did he win the battle, but he also completely rode on Hans and acted arrogantly.
This stimulated William II, who had a strong sense of self-esteem. He did not want to go to the British Empire as a king of a fallen country to seek the protection of his most hated cousin, so he would rather stay in the Windmill Kingdom and wait for the trial from the German army!
Being taken back to his homeland by the German army, so that he could take a last look at his former country before he died, this seemed to be a good choice. After all, he was already 7 years old this year, and it was time for him to see God!
Queen Wilhelmina was in a hurry to escape at this time, and she couldn’t care so much. Since William II didn’t want to leave, she didn’t force it. After all, she was now being invaded by Hans. Although it had nothing to do with William II, she was still a little angry in her heart!
After Queen Wilhelmina fled, the resistance in the Windmill Country immediately weakened.
In a country that has been peaceful for a long time, the citizens have no intention of fighting.
Moreover, they have been in contact with Hans for a long time, and they know that Hans is not the kind of country that will kill people at will. Therefore, the people of the Windmill Country, especially those who can’t escape and are trapped in place, are all in a panic, just like the last emperor of the Second Empire, quietly waiting for the arrival of the German army!
At the same time, after learning the news that Hans invaded the Windmill Country, the Sun Never Sets and the Gauls understood it!
They were fooled by the German army!
