Cape Breton Island and Prince Edward Island lay right next to Canada. Cape Breton Island in particular was separated from the Nova Scotia peninsula by only a strait about one kilometer wide.

All five Marine Divisions of the German Marine Corps on Newfoundland mobilized. In addition, the 1st Army Corps, which had already arrived in the theater, had also made its preparations for battle.

What was more, once the German military launched its attack, the British would certainly fight desperately. They would continuously throw reinforcements onto the battlefield. This would further increase the difficulty of capturing the two islands.

After Russia was destroyed, the client states that had followed the
