Two cups of warm coffee were served to the coffee table by the guards, and the room was suddenly filled with a rich fragrance. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Rosenberg took a polite sip of the drink in front of him, and then introduced to Raeder: "This Quisling was born in the late 80s of the last century, and in his early years, he was an elite young officer of the Norwegian General Staff; In the early 20s, he left the army and went to the Soviet Union to help the British manage the assets they had left there. For his meritorious service, Quisling was awarded the Order of the Empire by the British government. When the Great Depression hit, Quisling returned to Norway to devote himself to politics. With a stellar resume and political patronage as Nansen's heir to the mantle, Quisling was appointed to the post of powerful Norwegian Minister of Defence in May 1931, a position he held until the end of his term two years later. ”

In 1933, when Gisling resigned, the National Socialist Movement was a great success. Our great Führer stands proudly on the top of the most powerful country in Europe and shows the glorious way forward for the future to all the righteous people of the world who have been brutally oppressed by the vile and treacherous Jewish interests. Although Quisling was in Northern Europe, his heart already felt a deep yearning for and identification with the splendid National Socialist Revolution initiated by the Führer. In that year, Quisling founded the Norwegian National Unity Party with the '25-Point Programme' as its guiding core, and in doing so, became our staunch revolutionary comrade-in-arms in Northern Europe. ”

Hearing these words full of subjective political overtones, Raeder couldn't help but feel a little disgusted in his heart. Rosenberg's remarks could have been reduced to just one sentence: Quisling, once Norway's high-ranking defense minister, is now an opposition party leader with a passion for Nazism. Seeing that Rosenberg was still preparing to make a tirade, Raeder immediately took over: "What I want to know is, how much can this Quisling help us in our military operations?" ”

"Mr. Rosenberg, please forgive me for being direct. While Quisling may have been a National Socialist, I doubt he would be willing to leave the door open for our army to allow Germany to take over his homeland. Among other things, Finland today has shown an unprecedented degree of solidarity in the face of the Soviet invasion. Even the Communist Party of Finland, after the outbreak of the war, declared its allegiance to the Helsinki government and called on the Finnish workers and peasants to fight to the death against the Soviet invaders! This Moscow branch is still like this, and why are you optimistic about Quisling's choice? ”

Rosenberg was a little surprised to hear this, he did not expect Raeder to use the current domestic political situation in Finland to question his own views. This admiral really has a lot in common with his predecessor Tirpitz, and they are both strategic decision-makers whose vision has never been limited to their own service. However, after only a few moments, Rosenberg, who had been prepared, showed a confident smile and explained: "Your Excellency Marshal, the members of the Finnish Communist Party you just mentioned are in fact in many respects markedly different from Quisling. ”

"Moscow is at least half of the blame for the fact that the Communist Party of Finland abandoned its political ideals and cooperated with Helsinki, in addition to the fact that they are patriots themselves and that class contradictions in Finland are not obvious. In previous years, nearly 50 percent of the CPSU members were suppressed and shot dead during the Soviet purge campaign, and almost all of the FN CPF personnel who remained in the Soviet Union were brutally suppressed as foreign spies. Under these circumstances, the Communist Party of Finland has long lost any closeness and trust with Moscow, and it is only natural that it now chooses to support its own government. ”

Quisling had no such vendetta against Germany. On the contrary, he was eager for the German flag to be planted throughout Norway. Since 1933, Quisling's party has struggled to grow in Norway, and to this day it has not been able to secure even a single seat in parliament through elections. In order to gain national power, Quisling could only hope to defect to Germany: that is, to make himself chancellor of the new Norway under German control by leading the way for the German army. Rosenberg said unhurriedly.

Raeder's brows furrowed, and his face was still full of suspicion and resistance: "Mr. Rosenberg, are you sure that this Quislin is really the person you say he is?" In order to gain power for himself, he chose to take the initiative to sell his homeland to another country? Even Wang, who surrendered to Japan in Far Eastern China a year ago, did so after a large part of the country had been lost and there was no prospect of victory. I didn't mean to target you, but I really suspect that this Quisling is most likely a British spy. What he did was to lure our army to attack Norway, and then let Britain take the opportunity to launch a devastating attack on our army. ”

In the face of this almost obvious question, Rosenberg remained relaxed and confident: "I have known Quisling six years ago and I know his nature very well. If the marshal doesn't trust him, then he might as well meet with Quisling. You can see if he really wanted to defect to Germany, or if he had other plans. I'm sure Quisling will show enough sincerity to prove it to you. ”

Seeing Rosenberg's sworn appearance, Raeder's heart was filled with solemnity for the first time. Rosenberg himself had a general friendship with him, and this time he went to find himself and tried his best to vouch for Guisling; If it weren't for the complete certainty, Rosenberg would never have behaved today. Perhaps, there really exists this kind of ultimate traitor in this world: they are the fighters in the leading party, even if there is no invasion by foreign forces, they have to take the initiative to stick upside down, crying for their father and mother, wanting to repay the lord and make meritorious contributions, and be fascinated by it!

"As you wish. I hope to meet him sooner rather than later. Raeder said with a solemn face.

Rosenberg didn't let Raeder wait long. Two days later, on December 10, Raeder met the Norwegian politician who had been strongly recommended by Rosenberg in a hall in Berlin. At the beginning of the exchange between the two sides, Raeder still had a considerable degree of vigilance against Quisle, but when Ghisling took out the information about the terrain of Norway's major ports, the location of coastal fortifications, and the deployment of troops from his briefcase, Raeder's whole person was petrified in place, and at the same time, his heart swelled with strong shock and ecstasy.

The information provided by Gisling was very rigorous and meticulous, and it was definitely not something that could be done by fraud, and Raeder, who had worked in the Navy for most of his life, could be very sure of this. In addition, the German Navy had also collected some intelligence about Norwegian ports before, and judging from the current information provided by Gisling, everything that the German Navy has has been presented here!
