[DIPLOMACY] Treaty of Brussels - 1948

To the following nations:

  • Belgium
  • France
  • Luxembourg
  • The Netherlands
  • The United Kingdom

Our great nations have suffered twice in the hands of global wars, both times caused by instability in Europe. We hope to further prevent any such conflict from arising between us.

Such an agreement will form a bulwark against those ideologies that oppose the unity and stability of our nations and by extension the world.

As such we propose a Mutual Defensive Alliance between our nations in Europe.

In may 1947 the Egyptian high command decided to send the elite royal Egyptian guard divisions which had armor and more modern artillery support, west to the sieges of Libya such as Tobruk.

This was known as operation glove which was designed to free up Egyptian forces to reinforce the main frontline, deliver another crushing defeat and regain the initiative in the war turned stalemate.

The Egyptian royal guard would take Tobruk on august 1st, Benghazi on august 11th, Sirte on august 14th, and Tripoli on august 20th, with only Misrata and Derna being the only ones remaining.

Yet this would prove in vain when the German empire signed the treaty of Constantinople on September 4th, 1947.

The terms of treaty were for in return for German intervention and arms supplement the German empire would be given the Suez Canal and supply of oil from the Middle East.

On November 10th, army group Prussia finished deploying along the western and eastern parts of the Hiliç line and on December 3rd operation southern wind began.

The German forces moved quickly along the tow sectors they were deployed, taking Beirut and Erbil on Christmas Day and arming Baghdad and Jerusalem by January 10th and even mittleafrikan forces moved north to Sudan where they moved up the Nile against militia forces.
