Aalborg is a historic city. It is located in the heart of Jutland in Denmark, on the southern shore of the Liemfjord.

Aalborg is located in the transportation artery of Western Europe and Scandinavia, and is an important transportation hub, with relatively developed land, sea and air transportation. There are road and rail bridges across the Liemfjord, as well as an airport with direct flights to Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark, and Oslo, the capital of Norway.

In the early hours of March 31, 1940, Aalborg Airport Guard Thor walked out of his dormitory yawning.

It was still cold in Northern Europe in March, and Thor couldn't help but shiver a few times, and strode towards the guard duty room at the airport.

Pulling open the door to the duty room, Thor rushed in with a cold wind.

"Close the door, are you going to freeze me to death?" As soon as Thor entered the room, Rocky, who was lying on the table in a daze, straightened up like an electric shock and shouted at Thor.

"Get out of the way, I'm going to use this bed now."

Knowing his old partner's temper, Thor paid no attention to Rocky's shouting, shoved Rocky's shoulders and told him to go back to his dorm room to sleep.

Rocky stood up, put on his hat, and pushed the door open in a daze, announcing the completion of the change of guard in the Aalborg airport guard room.

Thor sat down in his chair and threw himself on the table, pulled down his hat and put it over his face to block the light, and began to "go on duty".

"Buzz・・・・・・" A noise came from the haze, waking up the sleeping Thor, who raised his head in confusion and muttered, "Who flies the plane at night?" So unethical. ”

Lying on the table again, Thor turned his head, put the back of his head against the light bulb, and fell back asleep.

In the sky of Aalborg Airport, forty or fifty white umbrella flowers swayed in the air and fell to the ground. After landing, under the white parachute, one by one the sturdy figures jumped up from the ground, shook off the parachute that was in the way, and pounced on the weapon bag that landed almost at the same time as them.

After obtaining their weapons, the figures saw that the airport was still quiet, with no gunfire or sirens, and they rushed towards the airport with confidence.

A large hand removed the hat from Thor's face and patted him on the shoulder.

"Don't joke with me." Thor awoke from a dream in battle with Thor's hammer and the Frost Giant, glaring at the troublemaker who had shattered his heroic dreams, only to see the muzzle of a black hole.

The muzzle of the gun was pressed against Thor's head, and the piercing chill on the muzzle penetrated Thor's eyebrows, and Thor instantly woke up from his infinite dream, turned into a mortal again, and obediently raised his hands・・・・・・

In the early morning of March 31, 1940, a paratrooper platoon of the 7th Parachute Division occupied the Danish Aalborg airfield without bloodshed. An hour later, the 159 Infantry Regiment landed at the airfield on a transport plane.

At the same time, the rest of the 4th Company of the Paratroopers of the 7th Parachute Division parachuted near the Wördingburg Bridge connecting the islands of Zealand and Fars. When the paratroopers landed, there was no gunfire on the ground, no sirens, only silence.

Seeing this, the paratroopers of the 4th Company did not open the airdropped weapons box, but only used the pistols they carried with them to fight, and in a few minutes they disarmed the bridge garrison detachment.

A squad of paratroopers quickly rushed to the bridge using the captured bicycles, and the bridge guards on the bridge surrendered without firing a single shot. The paratroopers captured the 3.5-kilometer-long bridge intact.

Having taken control of this communication route, the German attacking forces that landed on Gesse Island advanced unhindered into the interior of Denmark. Enter Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark.

After the German-army had defeated several loyal Janissaries who were holding back with guns, King Christian X of Denmark tearfully ordered the Danish army to lay down their arms and surrender. At this time, it was only four hours before the Aalborg airborne operation.

The surrender of Denmark meant the complete success of Operation Shockwave, the first step of the Thanksgiving Project.

In Berlin, the capital of Germany, in the Chancellery, after Hitler received the news of Denmark's surrender and the capture of Danish King Christian X's family, he did not have the slightest expression of excitement about the inclusion of a country in Germany. After eating breakfast with a calm expression, Hitler said to his adjutant Major Ruhr: "Order the Navy to act according to the original plan." ”

"Führer, all the belongings are ready, can we go?" Major Ruhr asked.

"Let's go to the Cliff Castle." Hitler said.

Located in Münster Ivre in western Germany, Cliff Castle was the temporary location of Hitler's newly selected base camp for the Ministry of Defense, where Hitler would command the French campaign.

In the Air Force Headquarters, Goering, Mirch, Jeshunek and others stayed up all night, waiting intently for the report of Operation Shockwave.

After receiving the news of Denmark's surrender, Goering smiled and glanced at Yeshunek, who was cheering in a low voice, and ordered: "Order the Fifth Air Force to move to Aalborg Airport at once, and report the list of meritorious officers and men in Operation Shockwave as soon as possible." ”

A staff officer immediately went to convey Goering's order, and Goering immediately said to Milch and others: "The British and French foreign offices will certainly condemn us, and Ribbentrop and Goebbels will have another headache." ”

"They will only condemn, but they will not commit a single infantry or plane to Denmark," said Milch contemptuously, "and we simply suggested that Britain and France should change the name of the Foreign Office to the Ministry of Condemnation, which would be more appropriate for their work." ”

Goering smiled happily, "Ribbentrop will certainly not agree to your suggestion." ”

"The British and French foreign ministries have changed their names, what does it matter to the German foreign offices?" Milch asked, puzzled.

"According to your logic, it won't be long before the German Foreign Office will turn into a Ministry of Condemnation, and Ribbentrop will become a Minister of Condemnation, and of course he will not agree." Goering said.

After answering a phone call, Jeshunek walked up to Goering and said: "Marshal, I have just received a call from the Chancellery that the Führer has ordered us to move to the Cliff Castle. ”

"It's finally renovated, I've been waiting for a long time. Finally you can see Brauchitsch and Halder living in the pig barn. Goering had a look of infinite yearning on his face.

"How did they end up living in a pig barn? Aren't there enough houses there? Jeshunek asked curiously.

"Of course not, it was the Führer who appointed a row of piggeries for Dr. Toth to be converted into a temporary office for the Army Command, as Dr. Tall told me quietly. Haha・・・・・・" Goering laughed and walked out of the Air Force Command.

In Hamburg, Chen Dao had just eaten breakfast when he was informed by Major Schumacher of the Danish surrender.

"I only knew about our attack on Denmark before I ate, and now that the Danes have surrendered, can I say that we killed Denmark in just one breakfast?" Major Schumacher teased.

"Absolutely." Chen Dao said.
