To the north of Germany was Denmark, a small coastal state with five smaller divisions and one small fleet.

Compared with the Norwegian battlefield, the Air Force lost 127 aircraft, the Navy lost 3 cruisers, 10 destroyers, 4 submarines, and more than 10 small boats, and the two battleships "Sanhorst" and "Gneisenau" were seriously damaged. Reinhardt actually preferred to cut half of the "Weser exercise" that shook the vitality of the German Navy in history, and take it when it was good, and only occupy Denmark.

After all, the whole of Denmark was killed and wounded by about 20 people, and it was only a matter of a morning to obtain its national surrender. Relying on 20 casualties, in exchange for a sortie base for the future north to Norway, it is definitely a good deal to easily get a small fleet that is small in scale, but also has a certain coastal combat capability.

"More than 70 years ago, when the Danes invaded us and occupied Schleswig-Holstein and Rohnburg in Germany, it was like a bone stuck in my heart. We defeated them, but we can't just leave it at that! Reinhardt waved his fist indignantly and said, "We can't let them think that we are bullying, and this revenge must be avenged." ”

Seventy years ago, I'm embarrassed to mention it, why don't you say that we had a holiday with the Danes seven hundred years ago?!

A strong rising power, shouting for revenge against a small country in decline. This is equivalent to a big man holding a steel pipe pointing to a kindergarten child with a lollipop and saying, "Don't think I'm a bully, I'll take revenge on you sooner or later!" ”

Who is bullying whom, everyone can see at a glance.

It's okay to bully others, but it's quite unreasonable to turn over old accounts, and take revenge with a gentleman, seventy years is not too late....... Who's blinded?

Seeing that Reddell's expression was strange, Reinhardt coughed dryly twice, sat down with a serious expression and said, "My marshal!" You must remember that no matter how strong the enemy is, if they dare to invade us, we must do everything in our power to repay them. ”

As he spoke, Reinhardt's mood came up again, and he stepped on the chair and stood up and shouted: "Don't say that Denmark has 5 divisions, even if there are 50 divisions, I will not be afraid of them." Germany has never been afraid of power........"

In this way, Raeder blushed when he heard it, but Reinhardt said it clearly, and he actually took a tragic tone!

Of course you are not afraid, can Denmark have 50 divisions! It's obviously picking soft persimmons and pinching, are you still reasonable?

As far as Denmark's current 5 divisions are all missing, what are you talking about bullying Germany?!

Seeing that Raeder did not respond to his generous statement, Reinhardt touched his head, sat down again and said calmly: "Let's do this now." I asked Ribbentrop to submit a letter of protest to the League of Nations, asking Denmark to supplement their previous aggression against Schleswig-Holstein and Rhônburg. ”

Licking his tongue, Reinhardt looked at Raeder with a wicked smile: "This matter has dragged on for more than 70 years, so ask them to compensate 700 tons of gold." ”

700 tons of gold? You can't knock Denmark down with so many, how can someone else take it?!

Smiling, Reinhardt gave a brief explanation to Raeder, who was embarrassed to listen: "If they die unrepentant and unwilling to compensate for our losses, then we will retaliate against them by force." Anyway, we also gave them a chance in advance, according to an old Eastern saying, this is called saluting first and then soldiering. ”

"How? What about my recommendations? Does it feel logically rigorous and reasonable? Reinhardt stared at Raeder expectantly.

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

At the center of the whirlpool of this international rivalry, the two home nations on the Navia Peninsula are increasingly unable to sit still.

In Norway, a country bordering Sweden to the east and the Atlantic Ocean to the west, is a self-proclaimed Nordic regional powerhouse.

After receiving the request from Britain to "borrow the road", King Haakon VII of Norway immediately convened a high-level military meeting in Oslo for an important military discussion meeting.

"The British are going to march their troops into our territory, do they think we are colonies of the British Empire? Come as you want, we're really bullies! A lonely member of the Norwegian royal family said angrily.

"Ali, don't be presumptuous!" The king gave his younger brother a blank look: "Britain is a superpower, and it has always liked to meddle in the wars of major territories. Supporting pro-British forces, swaying the situation in the region, and building overseas military bases everywhere, have they done less?! They are both island countries, but in terms of strength, our Norway is less than one percent of them, what can we do to stop them? ”

"Then we can't let them bully." Ali was indignant, clenched his fists and lowered his head: "Norway is an independent country, why should they ....... Why are you pointing fingers at us......."

Sitting in the middle of the conference room, Gisling, who had become the Minister of Armed Forces with the secret funding of Germany, silently sorted out his thoughts.

By the time the British had landed on Norwegian soil, his plan to help the Germans occupy it would have been frustrated. If the pro-British faction in China takes the opportunity to raise his head, he, a representative who has been labeled as a pro-German leader, should be farther and farther away from the center of power!

No, we must not let things get to that point! Although it was not known when the German Führer would be able to arrange a meeting with him in the future, Ghisling was certain that all he had to do now was to do everything in his power to prevent the British from landing on Norwegian soil.

As soon as Ali had spoken, Quisling immediately answered quietly: "The German Führer once said a word, but if a nation succumbs to foreign aggression, that nation should not exist. We, the Norwegians, will not be willing to give in. ”

Quisling's words seemed to be cheering everyone up. But if you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to find that the point he wants to express in this sentence is not the sentence of unwilling to give in, but the "German Führer said".

What does he want to express when he talks about Germany at this time?

"Alright, Quisling. Say whatever you want, and we'll all listen carefully. As king, Haakon VII knocked on the table and motioned for Quisling to continue.

After receiving the king's signal, Quisling smiled and nodded: "It's simple, I've already talked to the German ambassador. The Germans promised us that in the event of a crisis in Norway's neutrality, they would do everything in their power to help us maintain it, even without excluding the use of force. ”

"When did you contact the Germans behind the government's back?" Minister Koch jumped up from the bench excitedly, pointed at Quisling's nose and said, "Say! Are you secretly colluding with the Germans! ”

Kochs was a smart man, at least he was much smarter than someone like Quisling, who had risen to power on German aid. In the words that Guisling blurted out in a hurry, he immediately heard that something was wrong.

Although now it seems that Quisling is contacting the Germans to alleviate the crisis of the British invasion. But on the other hand, if there was no crisis brought about by the British, what would have been the consequences of his act of privately contacting the German side?

Anyway, his real reasons would never be as noble as they seem now! 10
