Chapter 875
Looking down from the air, there is a beautiful four-leaf clover in the central city of Limeric, the capital of Ireland. It is the Parliament Square of the Kingdom of Ireland. The Kingdom Parliament, the highest decision-making body of the country, exercises the powers granted by the king and the people in the Parliament Building on the east side of the Parliament Square.
On May 5, 1943, Xia Shu came to the parliament building to attend the day's bill vote. The king's attendance was not a statutory procedure for the vote of the parliament of the Kingdom of Ireland. Usually, the king could only attend when the important bill votes are held, or in certain special periods. Moreover, before the vote ended, he could not have any words and deeds to interfere with the voting process of the bill. Of course, according to the Kingdom Constitution, once the king does not recognize the voting results of the parliament, he can exercise his veto power and make the parliament re-vote. If the parliament can never reach a result that meets the king's expectations, then the king has the right to activate a special bill, dissolve the parliament and reorganize the elections. This extreme situation has never happened in the 27 years since the birth of the Kingdom of Ireland.
The bill submitted to the parliament for voting on this day is indeed very important. It is related to whether the Kingdom of Ireland's first plan to send regular combat troops to the Asia-Pacific region was implemented. Not long ago, under the joint pressure of white European and American countries, the Japanese, trapped in multi-line combat, finally made difficult concessions, allowing the League of Nations peacekeeping forces to enter the Australian region dominated by white people. After the situation stabilizes, League of Nations officials will organize and supervise the Australian people to elect a new Australian local and federal government in a referendum.
In the expansion plan for the League of Nations peacekeeping forces initiated by Germany, the Irish government promised to provide at least one-tenth of the peacekeeping force, with a maximum limit of 20,000. This time, the League of Nations decided to send 100,000 peacekeeping forces to Australia. The Irish Army is preparing to provide a mechanized infantry brigade. The Air Force plans to dispatch 45 fighter jets and 12,405 combat and service personnel. It will be completed only if the parliament approves the proposal to send troops.
From a macro perspective, participating in the League of Nations peacekeeping forces can not only add points to the positive image of the country, but also expand the country's influence in the peacekeeping region, and also allow the troops to get practical or close to actual combat training opportunities. In contrast, the funds required to send peacekeeping forces and potential casualties are completely worth the money. However, there are many opposition voices in the Kingdom of Ireland. Some people are worried that the top Japanese leaders accept peacekeeping forces into Australia are only a strategic stopgap once Northeast Asia
The war with South Asia is clear, and maybe one day the Japanese army will find an excuse to protect their immigrants and other countries to fight back to Australia. The mere 200,000 peacekeeping troops are not enough for the Japanese army to get stuck in the gaps. Some people also think that Scotland, which secretly colluded with the Japanese invaders, is something that Ireland should be careful at present. In order to prevent them from threatening the security of the British Isles, the Irish army must be prepared to subdue Scotland with one move, so the most elite mechanized combat troops should not be sent to the distant Australia.
Although the opinions of opponents have their own reasons, this is not enough to prevent the Kingdom Parliament from passing a bill to send troops to participate in League of Nations peacekeeping operations. The over-the-top votes of two-thirds of the votes indicate that most members still recognize and support Ireland's current national strategy.
After all the bills voted in the parliament that day, Natsuki left her seat and walked to the speech table. She first congratulated and thanked the parliament for sending troops to the peacekeeping bill, concisely emphasized the positive role of this peacekeeping operation on the Western world and even the global landscape, which is to "open a new path for civilization to overcome barbarism", and then briefly answered the various doubts raised by oppositionists, and said, "Unless the situation in Scotland reaches the point where it is necessary to send troops, Ireland will not consider taking force threats or even preventive attacks against friendly countries."
On the day the Parliament passed the peacekeeping proposal, Xia Shu signed an official order to approve the formation of the 1st peacekeeping brigade in Ireland. Lieutenant General Vini Oda Warren, a 52-year-old Irish local general, was appointed as the commander of this task force. The troops that were ordered to assemble and trained were set off from the northern barracks of Limeric to the port area. The Royal 2nd and 4th Mechanized Infantry Regiments, as representatives of the peacekeeping forces, took a car through the famous Liberty Street in the capital on the morning of May 6, and hundreds of thousands of people flew away...
Two days later, Wilhelmshaven, Germany.
Under the gaze of Emperor William and the Queen, more than 20,000 German Army soldiers and more than 6,000 German Marine Force soldiers boarded the ship from the dock. Unlike the German Emperor William II who saw off for the Expeditionary Force against China in 1900, these German troops are now traveling to war-torn areas as peacekeeping forces. When the Japanese army occupied Australia in 1935, most of the four million residents living here were white, and in 1938, the US-Japan Armistice Association
After the signing, the number of white people in Australia quickly decreased to two million. In the following years, the Japanese authorities moved more than 600,000 Asian people from local and South Asian countries by mobilization or forced recruitment, while the number of white people further decreased to about 1.8 million. This caused a very big change in Australia's racial structure. If the international community sat on the watch, such changes continued, it may not take ten years to become the legal ruler of Australia.
As the leader of Western allies, the unipolar hegemony in the strategic pattern of the world today, the Germans have unshirked the responsibility of the League of Nations peacekeeping forces. In the next few weeks, more than 30,000 German army soldiers, thousands of air force personnel and hundreds of thousands of tons of combat materials will set off to the distant Australia. In order to cope with the difficult difficulties that may be encountered, the Germans not only selected the ace troops with the richest combat experience and the most well-equipped weapons to fight, but also built a super-large comprehensive supply station in the Maldives in the central Indian Ocean. It took such a big week to go
Zhang's investment in manpower and material resources naturally caused a lot of criticism. Many comments believe that the move of the Western allies led by Germany was just a reality of expansion in the name of peacekeeping. Indeed, under the operating rules of the League of Nations, countries that sent troops to peacekeeping are by no means selflessly maintaining peace. The dispatch of peacekeeping troops to Australia this time not only affects the power of this continent, but also involves the racial issues of the East and the West. However, it is different from the previous naked form of war, and no longer has naked occupation and seizure. To a certain extent, the new era of civilization is quietly beginning!
A few weeks later, the League of Nations Arbitration Committee finally arbitrated the disputes between the British countries. Before the Scottish government obtained all ownership of the Scotland, it should pay 67% of the construction payments to England and Wales respectively. As for the legacy of the government's national debts advocated by the Scottish government, it should be negotiated and resolved by the British countries after a comprehensive liquidation and sorting.
At first glance, the Scottish government became the frustrator of this international dispute, but this is not the case. Not to mention whether they accepted the result of the League of Nations arbitration, this sensational diplomatic incident has greatly increased the popularity of the Republic of Scotland and their domineering dictators around the world, and dragged the British state into an inevitable arms race.
Shortly after the League of Nations made the arbitration, the 2nd Royal Armored Cavalry Regiment of England was officially formed in Liverpool. Unlike the 1st Royal Armored Cavalry Regiment, which had more symbolic significance than the substance, this mechanized force is an elite combat power built with real money. On the day of its establishment, 79 "Teutonic Knight-ii" vehicles purchased from Germany, 27 "Hound" wheeled armored reconnaissance vehicles, 90 "heavy cavalry" semi-tracked armored personnel carriers and 124 "lightning" trucks were all in place. More than 500 officers and sergeants went to Germany for three months of military training, and nearly 2,000 soldiers received strict training in Liverpool.
In the equipment procurement bidding for the English Army, the Irish lost to the Germans at a slight disadvantage and unfortunately lost the considerable order. In the equipment procurement bidding for the Royal English Air Force to form 12 new fighter squadrons, the Irish-made ir-39a won with excellent cost-effectiveness, winning a generous order for 8 fighter squadrons of 128 fighter jets and a full set of maintenance accessories.
As for the weak English Navy, they also had the opportunity to significantly expand their strength this time. On the one hand, they ordered two of the most advanced Prince Heinrich-class light cruisers from Germany as the core combat power of the new navy, and on the other hand, they purchased a batch of aircraft and ships sealed after the war, including water reconnaissance bombers and high-speed torpedo boats, rebuilding the defense system of the east and west coasts.
Although Ireland has long been under military protection, the Welsh people are still eager to establish and strengthen their national defense forces in the face of Scotland and England's actions to expand their arms. Under the strong appeal of all walks of life in Wales, the bill to form the Welsh Defence Force was finally passed by the parliament. After the King **********, the Welsh army immediately recruited 36,000 people from their country's appropriate young people to join the newly formed National Defence Force's naval, land and air force.
Backed by the big tree in Ireland, the initial construction cost of the Welsh Defence Force is very low. The 24 small ships used by the Navy to form the Navy Academy and three naval patrol units are all second-hand goods provided by Ireland free of charge. The Air Force purchased 60 aircraft from Ireland to form 4 training squadrons. Except for one squadron equipped with a new ir-39a, the rest are old-fashioned i/30. The Welsh only needs to bear the part of the Irish instructor.
