Left braces of size $p^2{q}^2$

We consider relatively prime integer numbers $m$ and $n$ such that each solvable group of order $mn$ has a normal subgroup of order $m$. We prove that each brace of size $mn$ is a semidirect product of a brace of size $m$ and a brace of size $n$. We further give a method to classify braces of size $mn$ from the classification of braces of sizes $m$ and $n$. We apply this result to determine all braces of size $p^2{q}^2$, for $p$ and $q$ odd primes satisfying some conditions which hold in particular for $p$ a Germain prime and $q=2p+1$.
