To Germany, Britain is a key satellite to its geopolitical and military aims. Aside from its core doctrine of European hegemony and Britain’s strategic worth, the island controls the sole seaways from the Pakt to the world's oceans not completely dominated by the OFN. Germany can’t be seen as allowing its greatest enemy to undermine ‘Festung Europa’ or be swayed by the dissuasionary tactics of a force much smaller than them. |

Even if the HMMLR does not do anything more to threaten Germany geopolitically, it is inherently unpredictable what a government either amicable to the OFN, or at the very least or run by "Bolsheviks" will do later on. There is no allowing such a risk to exist in an already important area in exchange for short-term distractions - the question is how Germany will regain influence over Great Britain, not if. That how being whether the Reich can afford to wait until the security crisis settles. |
