What happened in the Far East was reported back to S.H.I.E.L.D. as soon as possible.

Rush was attacked in the Public Concession, and four bodyguards died on the spot, and his whereabouts are unknown.

At this time, the Germans launched the 'White Lightning' offensive, attacking Denmark and Norway on April 9, declaring that they would protect their neutrality.

In fact, when Britain and France asked for support from Finland, Germany had already decided on Norway as the next target.

At the beginning of the year, Churchill, a new member of the newly formed wartime cabinet, proposed that German industry and manufacturing should be blocked by sea in order to limit its industrial development and manufacturing.

German industry is heavily dependent on iron ore from Sweden, which is transported via the Norwegian port of Narvik and Luleå, Sweden.

The port of Narvik is also not icy in winter, ensuring a year-round supply.

Churchill repeatedly proposed the placement of minefields in Norwegian waters, which could force transport ships to infiltrate into the North Sea in favor of interception by the British Royal Navy.

But Chamberlain, fearing negative comments from neutral countries, rejected his proposal.

When the 'Winter War' broke out, Churchill again proposed to lay mines, which was again rejected by Chamberlain.

When Britain and France finally made up their minds to save Finland, Churchill's fears were taken seriously, and the Allies planned to land in Norway and lay minefields before the army crossed Sweden into Finland, cutting off the iron ore fields supplied by Sweden to the Germans along the way.

This purpose of Britain and France did not escape the eyes of the dwarf, which is why he threatened the two countries with an armed invasion once they were allowed to do so.

Britain and France also wanted to exert pressure on Norway and Sweden to agree to their plans, but Finland's sue for peace left them without a reason.

Feeling the conspiracy of Britain and France to cut off the supply of ore, the little dwarf, who had not paid much attention to it before, had to move his eyes to the side again.

If the attack on Norway was due to its importance, then Denmark was completely unjustified.

In fact, its existence is equivalent to 'chicken ribs,' which are tasteless to eat, and it is a pity to abandon them.

However, as a gateway to Sweden, Germany still 'reluctantly' incorporated it into its territory, claiming that it took 1 day, but in fact it only took 4 hours.

When the German Army landed from the port of Copenhagen, the King's Royal Guard had not fired a few shots when several detachments of bombardment formations whistled through the sky.

Faced with the Luftwaffe's obvious intention to bomb civilians and cause panic, the old king immediately surrendered in exchange for autonomy over domestic affairs.

The old king was appreciated by the little man, and in recognition of the old king's knowledge of the times, the little man agreed to his request and treated Denmark with great gentleness.

Even the arrest of the Danish Jews was postponed, and from the Danish point of view, the old king was undoubtedly wise.

With Denmark's national strength, even if you fight to the death with the Germans, you will only die more people in the end.

Norway is the next stark example, and after it, the French will also pay the price for their ignorance.

"On the other hand, there was nothing wrong with Chamberlain's policy, appeasement could keep Britain out of the war.

If Germany had been able to grow stronger and effectively resist the Soviet Union, if the little Führer had been okay here, he would not have crossed the Channel to go to war with Britain. ”

In the think tank office, Ben pointed to his brain and said with a smile.

Recently, he has been in a good mood, the war in Europe has kept everyone busy, and the company under Li Zitao's name is also busy.

Even more to celebrate, he heard a message from the Far East.

Although he is saddened by his abduction and disappearance, a deep anger rises in Ben's heart at the thought of how he treated him.

"It's me who pulled you out of hell, and what did you do to me, **my wife, bastard. ”

If I could, I would have liked to have said these things to him before he died, but I'm afraid I won't have the chance again.

"These are just speculations, what if, after occupying Europe, Germany chooses to go to war with Britain?" someone questioned.

Then he was a sinner for the ages, and he was the hero of England as soon as Germany turned around and invaded the East. Ben affirmed.

"Now it makes no sense to say this, Britain has been tied to the wagon of war and cannot escape anyway,

Besides, there is the new cabinet minister who is pretentious and thinks that he was born to be a big man. ”

Li Zitao sat on the red velvet cushioned high-backed chair at the top and said expressionlessly.

If you want to say that the center of the nine people present is the most complicated, I'm afraid it's him.

Regarding Rush's question, Li Zitao has been thinking about how to communicate with Ben, and although he has done something wrong, Ben's way of dealing with it also makes him unhappy.

The Brain Nine has always been the core brain of his industry, and they hold too many secrets about the companies under his name.

If it weren't for the fact that he had been dealt with, he would have killed him with a sniper on the night he was captured, and Li Zitao would have had to let the people he arranged do it himself.

What annoyed him even more was Joanna, the woman who made two of his most powerful thinkers dirty.

Can't you find someone else to cheat on, or just choose to go casually after the divorce?

Based on Li Zitao's understanding of Ben, if Joanna chooses to divorce, although he will be emotionally depressed for a while, he will soon recover and completely solve this matter.

Even if it were worse, Joanna and Rush made their relationship public and chose to remarry, Ben would have chosen to be respectful, and at most the two of them would be transparent with each other when they worked together.

But the current situation is that she is like a powder keg, and she doesn't know when it will ignite the emotions in Ben's heart again.

"The French put all their bets on the Maginot Line, but here... The Ardennes, the Ardennes on the border of Luxembourg, Belgium and France, they don't seem to have any arrangements?"

The discussion about the war situation in Europe continued, and Li Zitao's heart moved when he heard this, and he said calmly: "Maybe the Germans will choose to sneak attack from there." ”

Everyone gathered face to face, shook their heads in thought, and said: "Unlikely, the advantage of the Germans is the spread of mechanization, and those tanks cannot pass through the complex forest." ”

"I think it's just as everyone had guessed, the Germans will still attack by detouring through Belgium as they did during World War I. ”

"Everyone can guess the plan, will the Germans really choose such a stupid plan?" Li Zitao pointed his hand to the Ardennes Forest, where the three countries met on the map.

"Here... Perhaps it is the key to the war. Li Zitao said firmly.

Twenty minutes later, the meeting ended, and a condensed version of the discussion was delivered to Hans's office in S.H.I.E.L.D.

After reading the contents of the briefing, Hans immediately ordered the secretary to prepare the car, and he was to go to Washington for a meeting immediately.
