Northern Europe refers to the regions of Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark and Iceland, and Admiral Eduard Dieter, who was in charge of the defense of Northern Europe under Hitler's orders, is now pacing from his home in the Pesamo region of Finland.

Because he had just received a telegram from Chen Yanlong, asking him to lead the 20th Mountain Army to withdraw to Germany the day after tomorrow, and to reach Italy to cooperate with Kesselring in the North African counterattack.

"Why did the Führer do this? Now the Soviets have just finished fighting with Marshal Manstein and Moder's army, and are recuperating, and they have the opportunity to launch another large-scale offensive against us at any time! ”

"Although the Pesamo region where I am located will not be affected too much for the time being, I will not worry about Su Jun attacking us! But we're mountain masters! It's not good to fight desert warfare! If we want to stay in Italy, then it's okay, Italy still has a lot of mountains! ”

Admiral Edward Dieter paced around as he muttered to himself.

"I can't figure it out anymore, forget it! We can only see walking after arriving in Italy, but with so many of our troops, I am afraid that we can not all be transported to Italy in one moment! ”

"It seems that our head of state really does not understand military affairs as much as before, and it is simply a typical opinion of "sitting in the office", talking on paper! ”

Finally, he suddenly got angry and said.

"Your Excellency! Commander-in-Chief of the Finnish Army, Mannerheim, he is here and wants to see you! In addition, the commander of the 18th Mountain Infantry Corps, General Egger, and the commander of the 10th Infantry Corps, General Victor, are also here and waiting for your reception in the living room! ”

At that moment, his adjutant, Colonel Keeff, knocked on the door of his room and reported.

Because he was one of his confidants, Admiral Edward Dieter had him lead a guard to guard his dwelling and stay in it.

"Hmmm! Why did the three of them come to us all of a sudden? Could it be that the Soviets sent troops to attack Finland? ”

Hearing this, Admiral Edward Dieter immediately became vigilant.

"I don't know the details! You'll find out when you meet them! ”

"But when they met you, I asked them why they were seeing you, and they only said that they had received a telegram from the Führer, and that His Excellency the Admiral was about to evacuate the Pesamo region of Finland, so they would come and consult with you at once!"

Adjutant Colonel Keef replied hurriedly.

"Hmmm! Good! I see, I'll meet them later, and you can entertain them! I'll tidy up my clothes and emotions first! ”

After hearing this, Admiral Edward Dieter frowned slightly, and immediately responded after thinking about it in his heart.

"Yes! Your Excellency! ”

Adjutant Colonel Keef replied in a respectful tone.

Then he went downstairs and asked the servants to bring some refreshments to Mannerheim, the commander-in-chief of the Finnish army, and entertained them with tea! And tell the other party that Admiral Edward Dieter will soon come down to meet them and discuss!

Mannerheim, the commander-in-chief of the Finnish army, had no problem with this, and sat down in the living room as if they were at a friend's house, and chatted with each other.

However, in fact, they did not expect that Chen Yanlong would suddenly withdraw his troops from the Pesamo region of Finland, and the speed was so fast, and he began to gradually withdraw his troops the day after tomorrow.

In this regard, Mannerheim, the commander-in-chief of the Finnish army, is the most complicated one, although he has Chen Yanlong's consent, he will obtain a large number of advanced weapons and equipment, and military materials to supplement support, but once faced with the crisis of the potential invasion of the Soviet army of one million, the commander-in-chief of the Finnish army Mannerheim is full of worries.

Because without the support of the German troops, they could only rely on their Finnish troops to resist the Soviet invasion alone, and they would have fought as fiercely as the last Soviet-Finnish war, and suffered many casualties.

So for such a dangerous situation, Mannerheim, the commander-in-chief of the Finnish army, did not want to happen; Although he also wanted to immediately recover the Pesamo area that had been ceded to the Soviet army because of the defeat, all the troops stationed in Finland, but now it was the most intense era of World War II, and their Finland was still standing on the side of the German army, so he was ready to endure a little more, and only after the war was over, he would fully recover the Pesamo area for garrison, and those German troops were of course driven back to Germany.

The Commander-in-Chief of the Finnish Army, Mannerheim, was worried about the concerns of the 18th Mountain Infantry Corps, General Egers, and the commander of the 10th Infantry Corps, General Vikde, who were in no doubt about them.

The purpose of the two of them here was to find out why Chen Yanlong suddenly sent them back to China and went to Italy to fight back in North Africa.

Just when the three of them had their own thoughts, Admiral Edward Dieter, who had already adjusted his appearance and mood, had already walked down from the second floor of his villa to meet them.

As soon as they saw him, Commander Wicked and Commander Egger immediately stood up and gave a military salute.

And Mannerheim, the commander-in-chief of the Finnish army, also stood up with a bright smile and greeted the other party.
