Chapter 292: Invaders, Britain!
"Your Majesty, the military port of Narvik in the north has been attacked by the British and is urgently asking for help. Although he was attacked by the British, Gisling was smug when he reported it.
Before that, as the prime minister of Norway, Nigaos Wall did not know how many times he had built momentum for Britain, saying that Britain represented the League of Nations, represented justice, and was a country that was absolutely worth relying on.
Now the news of the British invasion has slapped Nigauswall, a pro-British official, in the face, proving how stupid their previous statements were.
Justice? Can you rely on?
What the British are doing now, from any point of view, is a standard act of aggression!
If it had been two months ago, perhaps the British government would have been able to quibble about borrowing aid to Norway. Today, however, Finland has made peace with the Soviet Union and no longer needs foreign aid.
There is no excuse to even serve as a fig leaf, and the British still dare to send troops?!
"Could it be that the Germans colluded with the troops of the Narvik military port and staged a fake show of British invasion?" Nigaoswall still didn't give up on finding a possibility that he could accept.
Aren't the garrisons of Narvik all your Quisling's men? It will not be easy to get them to follow your orders and lie about the military situation.
The pro-British Nigaos Wall had always been at odds with Quisling, who defected to Germany, and it was not difficult to speculate on a person he hated in the worst way.
"Mr. Prime Minister's imagination is really rich, and the scene you just said has not been communicated with the British, right?" Quisling snorted coldly, and retorted, "It is a pity that your English master does not seem to have heeded the advice of your rich imagination. It looks like they left you behind and launched their own invasion. ”
Didn't you say that I had collusion with the Germans? Then I can also say that you are colluding with the British! Gisling quickly found this-for-tat countermeasure.
"You, you, you......" Nigels Wall was incoherent by Quisling's sudden counterattack question: "How could I collude with the British, how could the British collude with me, this and this ......"
Nigauswall was older, after all, and his reflexes were not as quick as Guisling's. In a hurry, I couldn't find the words to refute it.
"That's it!" Hakang Qishi, who was on the side, couldn't stand the embarrassment of his prime minister, and relieved him of the siege: "The question now is, confirm the identity of the enemy who attacked us?" And immediately find out the corresponding strategy for the current situation. ”
"I don't think there is any objection to the identity of the enemy." General Olaf, who was sitting at the bottom, replied: "The garrison at Narvik Height, in addition to Colonel Sundlo's Fifth Division, also has a reinforced battalion under the command of Major Alfred, who has just returned from Finland. ”
At the beginning, it was Olaf himself who appointed Major Alfred as the supreme commander of the volunteer battalion to aid Finland. Olaf thinks he knows enough about Alfred's personality.
Olaf believed that Sundlo, who belonged to the pro-German faction of Guisling, but he trusted Alfred's judgment.
The report of the British invasion was sent by Alfred. On this basis alone, Olaf was able to confirm that this was not another Ghisling faction.
"I believe Major Alfred's report, he won't even recognize who the enemy is when he is on the scene!" Olaf earnestly reassured Haakon once again.
With Olaf to speak, Nigaoswall could no longer pour dirty water on Quisling. After all, General Olaf is the son of the current Norwegian king Haakon Seven, and if you want to talk about loyalty to Haakon Seven, looking at the whole of Norway, Olaf must be the first!
Ghisling was pro-German, Nicoswall was pro-British, but Olaf was a purely neutral general, the son of the King of Norway.
How can there be a son who pits Lao Tzu? At least, Haakon VII thought so.
"I believe that the priority is to mobilize the people together to defend against foreign invaders. As for who the real enemy is, I don't think it will be long before it becomes completely clear. Olaf succinctly advised: "First order the defenders of Narvik Heights to resist desperately and buy time. Then we will gather small units scattered in the rear and support the front as soon as possible. ”
"Mobilizing the people," Ghisling replied with a smile, "I think I can do it for you." ”
Gisling's thousands of Norwegian SA members had already printed thousands of agitation newspapers in advance, following instructions from Reinhardt.
At this moment, they were branching out in the major cities of Norway, ready to rush to the streets and alleys, distributing newspapers with the words "British army savagely invaded northern Norway, Narvik was in a hurry, the 5th Infantry Division was desperately resisting the invaders, and Major Sundlow led his troops to hold on."
"It's up to you." Haakon VII waved his hand and recognized Quisling, who had volunteered.
Until then, he hadn't really liked Quisling's mercenary character. In the eyes of Haakon VII, Gisling has always been like a puppy that constantly wags its tail at the German government, a clown who has no patriotic feelings.
But now, at this critical moment when the British army is coming. Haakon VII suddenly discovered that the only one who could bring hope to Norway was Ghisling, a Norwegian who had long ago made it clear that he wanted to defect to Germany.
The former Nordic alliance no longer has any role. Of the four countries, Denmark has become a satellite of Germany, and Finland has just been badly damaged by the Soviet Union. And the leader of the Nordic countries, Sweden, can be said to have lost face and prestige on the battlefield in Finland.
Whoever is here is counting on anyone in the Nordic countries to save Norway is in a dream!
If it weren't for the fact that Quisling had long been on the list of the Third German Reich, which was incompatible with the empire on which the sun never set, and if it weren't for Germany's continuous goodwill to the Norwegian government some time ago, Haakon VII might not even have the confidence to confront the British Empire.
After a moment of silence, Haakon VII spoke slowly: "Do everything possible to support the troops of Narvik Heights, once the British army breaks through their interception and successfully establishes a foothold on our land, it will be difficult to drive them into the sea." ”
"Minister Quisling," Haakon VII then looked at Quisling, who had already curled the corners of his mouth and was waiting for him to speak, "it is up to you to contact foreign aid." Whether or not we can get German aid will be the key to whether we can repel the British invaders. ”
"I've been waiting for a long time!" Ghisling replied satisfied. He had waited too long for this request from the king........
Catch time by the forelock! Gisling, who was good at speculation, immediately seized the opportunity to make a final statement: "Your Majesty, since it is the British army that has invaded us. Should Prime Minister Nigaos Wall, who has always maintained close ties with Britain, ........"
"Because of his previous remarks, Nigelswall is no longer fit to hold the position of prime minister of the country during the revolt....... "From the words of Haakon VII, Quisling squeezed out his old rival as he wished.
