The winter wind blows, the snowflakes are like flotsam, and the magnificent Berlin Chancellery is silvery and silent, which is particularly solemn and magnificent. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoHundreds of SS officers and soldiers in black uniforms are scattered around the building, firmly guarding the heart of the empire - whether it is a storm or a cold sun, they are determined to protect the god in their hearts.

Adolf Hitler stood in his office, his gray-blue pupils staring silently at the huge map on the brown-red wall. Since the adoption of the Weser exercise, Keitel, who was adept at flattering, produced a highly detailed map of Northern Europe for Hitler, including Jutland, Scandinavia, and the surrounding region. After the outbreak of the battle, the map was quickly plastered with dense small flags representing the armies of all sides, and in just three days, the situation on the map had changed dramatically.

In Hitler's sight, the small yellow flag representing the Danish army was completely gone. In order to protect his subjects from the flames of war, King Christian X of Denmark announced the cessation of resistance one hour after the German troops landed in Copenhagen, and all troops surrendered to the Germans on the spot. At this time, Germany took full control of Jutland, extending its influence on the European continent 300 kilometers north in one fell swoop. Although Denmark still nominally retains a parliament and government, and Germany has generously granted the former a considerable degree of autonomy, under Berlin's authoritarian power, this developed farming, animal husbandry and fishing country has become a German colony.

Compared to Denmark, an unchallenging underdog, it was the progress of the German army in Norway that really excited Hitler.

On the day of the operation, the five forces of the cross-sea attack all completed the intended objectives and captured King Haakon VII of Norway alive, and then a large number of personnel and materials poured into Norway like a spring flood bursting the embankment. The regular Norwegian army, represented by the small red flag, was either surrounded and annihilated, or was persuaded by Ghisling to defect. The Germans had achieved a stunning victory in this long-prepared cross-sea expedition, and within a week it was expected that the news would be available throughout Norway. At that time, Germany will have an unprecedented geographical advantage in the war against Britain: the cage in the North Sea has been broken, and the steel ships of the new high seas fleet will also be thrown into the sea, completely free from the control of the British Navy and Air Force!

Just the Royal Navy...... Hitler stared at the black ship-shaped sign in the southern part of the Norwegian Sea, and his eyes involuntarily showed a bit of solemnity. According to yesterday's report from the Navy, the main force of the British Home Fleet has been dispatched, and if there are no accidents, the two fleets have already exchanged fire at this time. Although the Navy had formulated corresponding countermeasures for the situation of the British fleet, the victory still depended on the on-the-spot game of the front-line commanders and a bit of indispensable luck. At that time, the Grand Fleet under Jericho's command was more superior than the Scheer High Seas Fleet, but who could guarantee that Scheer would be defeated?

"Little Jonas, will you be able to do a miracle like the Battle of Scapa Flow, and send all the British warships to the bottom of the sea?" Hitler murmured.

In this Norwegian campaign, the commander-in-chief of the navy's first-line fleet was Admiral Karls, and the rear admirals and lieutenant generals of the rest of the detachments added up to more than half a dozen, but what made Hitler have the most high hopes was Fang Yan, who had just been promoted last year, and his weight far exceeded that of Karls, Bome and other veteran fleet generals. The reason for this is that Fang Yan and Hitler's personal friendship of more than 15 years is secondary, and more importantly, Fang Yan is Hitler's appointed brigadier general and is inextricably linked with the forces of the National Socialist Party.

If Fang Yan can continue to shine in this battle and completely become the real power of the navy, then Hitler will be able to break the independent pattern of the navy in the current Germany in the shortest possible time, and use Fang Yan's wedge to realize the great cause of nationalization of the navy.

The low sound of the car engine came from the cold wind blowing in the "buzzing ......", which gradually became powerful and clear from the distant faintness, and Hitler turned his head to look out the window, only to see a large black and blue Mercedes-Benz sedan quickly parked in front of the gate of the Chancellery. A moment later, a figure pushed the door out of the back of the car at an almost rude pace, only to see him raise the blue-gold scepter in his hand slightly, and the SS soldiers in front of him gave him the highest salute.

"It's Marshal Raeder, is there already a result of the naval battle?" Hitler's heart suddenly lifted. For a while, Hitler couldn't care about anything else, and his heart was both anxious and expectant for Raeder's arrival. Hitler was desperate to know the specifics of the Norwegian naval battle: how much was the sinking of his capital ships? Is the British fleet advancing or retreating? Will the 3 core landing sites on the west coast of Norway be saved? Does the fleet have the strength to start the next round of the battle to break the diplomatic relationship?

The familiar sound of footsteps from far to near, with great urgency and heaviness, in less than two minutes, the visitor walked through the 200-meter-long marble mirror gallery and appeared in front of the open Führer's office. The sixty-four-year-old commander-in-chief of the navy had a slight wrinkle in his uniform, and fine droplets of sweat oozed from his forehead due to vigorous exercise; However, those eyes shone like stars, and everyone who knew him well realized that something important must be announced.

"Honorable Führer, the German Navy has just won a brilliant victory over the British fleet in the waters west of Bergen. Our troops sank a total of 4 British battleships, 3 aircraft carriers, 1 heavy cruiser, 2 light cruisers, 9 destroyers, and successfully repelled the British home fleet. At present, the Bergen landing site is as stable as a mountain, and all transport ships are sailing into the harbor to unload as planned! Raeder spoke in a strong voice and handed Hitler a telegram scented with ink.

Hitler's eyes lit up with surprise, and he suddenly took the telegram and began to read it at a glance. His hands trembled slightly, and his voice became agitated: "1 Nelson-class, 2 Queen Elizabeth-class, 1 revenge-class battleship, the Eagle, the Glory, and the USS Ark Royal, which the Brits just commissioned last year!" The large warships that the British Navy can use at present have basically been sunk by us in the Norwegian Sea, which is simply sensational news for the world! Unfortunately, the Hood escaped with serious injuries. If the most sparkling diamond in the British crown can be removed, the German Navy will be able to completely wash away the past humiliation and have no regrets. ”

Hitler laughed happily, and his demeanor was full of flying and comfort after hesitation and depression. Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Raeder's lack of joy, and the heart that had just been released was once again overwhelmed.

The navy has achieved such brilliant results, and its own losses are probably indispensable. You must know that this time the fleet is not the sneak attack on Scarpa Bay last year, but the bloody battle with the British Navy. Even if the latter's warships are most inferior to the new German fleet, their personnel skills and commander quality are definitely not inferior to the German Navy, and in order to win this fruit, the German Navy is very likely to be pierced with thorns.
