Looking at the Peter the Great under shelling, George was in a trance.

He had thought that the Soviets had "inadvertently" leaked that Peter the Great was made in Germany enough to make the headlines of The Times. But now, he found another, even more violent news - the shelling of the Finnish army by the Soviet Navy!

witnessed two big news in a row, and George, as a reporter at this moment, could no longer hold back his excitement. Today, he has received too much news to digest easily!

"Is your country's real purpose in letting me board the Peter the Great to serve as a sounding board for your attack on Finland?" George, who deserves to be called the most competent correspondent of the British Times, soon realized that he was on the cusp of history, and immediately took advantage of his position near the water to find the commander of the Soviet fleet and start an exclusive interview.

"Not bad." Through the translation, George listened to the fleet commander triumphantly boasting: "Finland is a country that is too small compared to our great Soviet Union. As long as we raise our voices a little bit, the Finns will obey. If it doesn't work, we can shell it again as we did today, and maybe the Finns will be so frightened that they will surrender tomorrow. Hahaha........"

George knew very well that the news he was going to record today would go down in history! As for whether the Finns will obediently surrender, as the Soviet commanders thought, it will not be long before the answer will be given.

In recent years, it has long been no secret that Finland has hired German "retired" officers to train the Finnish army at high salaries and spent a lot of money on Germans to build a network of airports. George heard that even many German-made weapons had been secretly bought by Finland.

To a certain extent, the Finnish army was like a "student of the German army", learning a lot of German combat tactics and becoming a low-level version of the German army.

All this, the USSR would not have been unaware of.

Indeed, not only the Soviet Union, but also the whole of Europe basically knew about this information, because no one deliberately hid it.

But because of this, when Stalin learned how much money Reinhardt had received from the Finnish government, he almost died of laughter.

Compared to the secret deal with the Soviet Union, Reinhardt's fee to Finland was more than ten times higher!

Doesn't that tell the story? Comparing the two, Stalin easily came to the conclusion that the German Führer was actually biased towards the Soviet Union. Moreover, the fact that Germany earned money on Finland's arms did not have much influence on the Soviet Union's grand strategy.

After all, in the Soviet-German Non-Aggression Pact, the German side divided Finland into the future sphere of influence of the Soviet Union and promised not to interfere.

Selling a little weapon in the past can make some waves.

The leader has this attitude, and the people under him are naturally not much different.

Thus, there was the rhetoric of the commander of the Soviet fleet that he was so conceited about the enemy.

"Mr. George, after our shelling is over, I'll take you back to the airfield along the coast. I hope that when you go back, you will report on what you have seen and heard today. The fleet commander smiled and patted the iron cabinet behind him, seemingly casually. On the iron cabinet, a non-standard iron cross was painted in the center.

Could this implication be any more obvious?!

It is clear that this iron cross symbol was not painted by the Germans. George understood that the Soviets were trying to shake out the little secrets between the Germans and them by themselves.

Once the outside world knew that there was cooperation between the Germans and the Soviet Union, they would inevitably subconsciously see Germany as a potential ally of the Soviet Union.

Combined with what he has seen and heard today, George, an old fox in the media industry, should completely speculate about the medicine sold in the gourd of the Soviets.

The attack on Finland was accompanied by the throwing of Germany, a secret collaborator, as a distraction from international attention. Let the European powers, especially George's own Britain, have some scruples when sanctioning the Soviet Union because of the German factor.

Perhaps, the Soviet government saw this and tried to take advantage of the time when Britain hesitated to imitate the German blitzkrieg and quickly occupy Finland to achieve the established facts. From this point of view, the politicians of the Soviet Union also had a bit of brains.

"Please rest assured, I will definitely pass on what I saw and heard today without reservation." George replied with a push.

............

Meanwhile, in his office in Mannerheim, he finally got his long-awaited reply from the German side.

-- The German top brass in Berlin today took part in a grand "naked march" under the organization of Führer Reinhardt. All the high-ranking officials have left their posts, and the low-level diplomats who remain have no authority to respond to the Finnish government's request for the time being.

Streak Parade! The brain show of the German top brass is funny?!

After receiving this reply, Mannerheim simply felt that this was a great insult to the intelligence of all mankind.

Over the years, the German officers who have been guiding and teaching in Finland have all been clear-eyed and serious in their work, and they have never seen any nerves?

How can I mention the Führer, one or two, just like the hair of the spring.

It seems that Finland could not count on it until the Germans went crazy.

...........

"Perfunctory?" While waiting for Rundstead to undress, Reinhardt confirmed with Rose, who was quietly reporting behind him.

Rose nodded and said respectfully: "Führer, you are really like a god. Sure enough, the Finns were shelled by the Soviets today and sent us a plea for help. However, our people have already used the reason of 'naked parade' to pass it by. ”

Looking at Rose's adoring eyes, Reinhardt said lightly: "It's better to drag it out if you can, it's better than refusing it directly." In the future, if you receive similar requests for help, you will withdraw them all from today's matter, saying that there are too many follow-up things to deal with, and you can't be busy. ”

Thanks to Reinhardt's efforts, relations between Finland and Germany developed even better than at the same time in history. To reject Finland's request for help outright, as it has done historically, would be a huge blow to the friendship that the two countries had so hard to build.

And now that the threat from Britain and France has not been resolved, it is better for Germany not to tear its skin on the part of the Soviet Union for the time being. The things promised in the treaty can only be accepted with pain.

Think about it another way, with the inertia of the Finnish government's "non-alignment". If it had not been hurt by the Soviet Union, it would most likely not have been on the side of Germany in the future.

Anyway, public opinion in the whole world thinks that I, the head of state, are unreliable, so it is better to make full use of this, carry forward the spirit of procrastination, and drag this matter on for an indefinite period of time. When it comes to shirking art, Reinhardt, whose soul comes from the East, is still very virtuous.

Thinking of this, Reinhardt hooked the corners of his mouth in relief.

"Who's over there, what are you laughing at!" With a bare belly, Reinhardt looked at Hans who was snickering on the side. Feng. Major General Vermanred.
