Oslo, Norway.

Gisling, who was grabbed by his colleagues, quietly wiped the sweat from his forehead. Just now, he didn't pay attention for a moment and blurted out his personal contact with the German ambassador.

Originally, he also planned to make a proposal in a lofty posture, "invite" the German army, and then climb to a high position by currying favor with the German masters.

But his shallow city government is completely unworthy of his ambition, exposing his small actions.

Almost all the politicians here at this stage belong to the faction loyal to the Norwegian royal family. They had long seen the ambition and radicalism of the Quisling group.

Quisling's pro-moral behavior is well known to everyone. Everyone instinctively resisted the "Norwegian version of Reinhardt" who copied the theories and tactics of the German Socialist Workers' Party, founded the Norwegian National Unity Party with the support of Pritz and others, appointed himself as the head of the party, and organized stormtroopers.

And the leader of this pro-German group, Guisling, who is the Minister of Armed Forces of Norway, stood up at this time, and his righteous purpose was definitely not as noble, upright and selfless as it appeared to be.

Quisling has huge ambitions, and always has been!

He went around contacting the middle and lower rank officers, the ideas he had spread in the army, and even openly wooed Colonel Sundelo, the commander of the garrison in the port of Narvik, and gave him a large amount of gold and silver. It's no secret that these are good things!

Looking at Quisling, who had been exposed by himself and was pretending to be calm, Minister Koch said gloomily: "Minister Quisling, I didn't bother to care what you were planning. But if you do anything sorry for Your Majesty and sorry for the country, I will definitely lead someone to kill you personally! ”

Quisling clenched his fists nervously, and his fingernails sank deep into his flesh. After a long time, he slowly responded to Koch in a deep voice: "Minister Koch, there are some things that you don't like to listen to just because everyone here doesn't like to hear them. Although your position is anti-German, the facts now require us to be pro-German in order to overcome the crisis. ”

Ghisling's words, though a little unpleasant, are in line with the current situation. Looking around at the gloomy dignitaries and royals, Haakon VII sighed and made a gesture to Koch to sit down: "Forget it! In any case, Minister Quisling is also trying to find a way to address the threat we have now. ”

Haakon VII lit a cigarette, but did not put it to his lips: "The Chief of Staff of the British, General Eonside, has informed me several times that we should allow the British troops to pass through our territory to Finland. At the same time, they made the same request to Sweden. ”

Looking at the cigarette that was being burned, Haakon VII still didn't mean to take a puff, he just said with a low eye: "The Swedes didn't care about the tough refusal of the British request. To be honest, I envy them for having the courage and confidence to behave like this. ”

Under the gaze of everyone, His Majesty the King snuffed out the cigarette with his calloused hand, and cried helplessly: "But we don't....... We don't have the strength to support our refusal. ”

The king's face was painful, and he could not tell whether it was because of the burning of the cigarette butt or because of the pain in his heart.

"The British don't care about our opinions, and the Germans don't think they're kind enough to help us for free. Norway is too small, and if we want to survive in the gap between two opposing powers, we must move closer to one of them in order to seek a better outcome than the death of the country, even if it is a less reliable ally, we can only accept ......." Haakon VII's voice was a little hoarse: "This is Norwegian politics, and it is the only politics we can choose!" ”

"So we have to rely on the Germans, don't we?" Quisling's inopportune interjection aroused the disgust of everyone all the time: "The reason why I broke with the Germans in advance was actually because I had expected today's situation a long time ago. ”

"Shameless....... Minister Koch cursed softly with his lips twitching.

Everyone here knows how smart Quisling's brain is. If he could have expected this, it is more credible to say that the sheep bit the lion to death.

It's ridiculous that this guy is embarrassed to make such a seemingly noble excuse for his traitorous behavior, and what he said is all expected.........

It's a fucking bastard! Almost everyone present quietly despised it in their hearts.

"The German army can easily defeat Poland, which is known as the fifth largest country in Europe and is nicknamed the Cavalry Kingdom, and its strength must not be doubted by everyone, as long as they help, it is easy to defeat the British!"

"I propose to free up one or two major ports for the Germans, and invite the German garrison to protect us against possible British aggression."

"Also, I think it should be ........"

In the face of Quisling's eloquent talk, many generals turned their backs in disgust, unwilling to look directly. What's more, they simply plug their ears and openly express their dissatisfaction and contempt with actions.

"Enough! I don't think we're at that point yet. His Majesty finally couldn't help but burst out: "Quisling! Before you speak, remember that you are a Norwegian, not a German! ”

Obviously, Quisling's presumptuous rhetoric backfired and angered the patriotic and brave old king.

At the beginning, Haakon VII was actually ready to show goodwill to the German government, and he felt that Gisling and the pro-German group behind him still relied on it as the capital to ask Germany for help in the future.

But now, he has changed his mind.

Yes, Norway is a small country. There are only 20,000 soldiers, less than 100 warships, and weapons and equipment that cannot be compared with a big country like Britain and Germany.

But Norwegians are also dignified and backbone!

"Minister Quisling, I think you can leave this meeting for the time being." The king said word by word: "I can't do this kind of thing to call the Germans to our territory without firing a shot." Your proposal to be able to defend against foreign enemies is certainly possible, but it must not come at the expense of dignity and independence! In a hundred years, we hope that the world will remember a brave and autonomous Norway, a country that defends its neutrality to the death, not a weak country that will easily bow its head and beg for mercy! ”

Waving his hand, Haakon VII didn't even look at Quisling: "You go out, I'm going to hold a war meeting for independent defense next." I don't think you're interested in that kind of thing. ”

When the word "independence" was spoken, His Majesty's accent was particularly heavy, as if to emphasize something.

"It's ....... How so? Quisling looked at the old king incredulously and said incoherently.

Messed up! What he promised to the Germans was completely screwed up! How could he explain this to the Germans.......
