Chapter 312: The End of the Battle of Norway

Just as Sundello's Norwegian 5th Division managed to overcome the second outlying position of the British army in the north, the British, who had clearly one outlying position left, surrendered to them.

"What's going on? The British felt that they couldn't hold it anyway, so they surrendered? In a trench he had just occupied, Alfred looked suspiciously at the British major holding the white flag in front of him.

"Does anyone speak English?" Alfred pursed his lips and said loudly, "Someone who knows English, and ask the British what the hell is going on?" ”

Although Alfred had already asked around, no one answered.

Alfred also knew foreign languages, and he served as the commander of the volunteer camp in Finland, and he not only knew Norwegian in his country, but also spoke Swedish and Finnish. But none of the languages of these three countries can be used at the moment.

"Marven, aren't you known as a master of foreign languages? Can't speak English? Alfred asked, a little annoyed.

Obviously won, but won inexplicably. Obviously, there are insiders to ask, but there is no way to communicate. Nothing could be more aggrieved than this.

"I know a few English words." Marven shook his head and replied regretfully: "I am a pro-German faction, not a pro-British faction. If you want me to communicate with the Germans, I can speak German fluently. But with the British, this is really powerless. ”

Marven's so-called master of foreign languages is actually more than Alfred's knowledge of German. As for asking him to speak English, he was confused except for a few simple words.

However, Marvin gave Alfred a good inspiration.

"Yes, we can ask the German allies." Alfred had a flash of inspiration and said: "Since the British and French forces have surrendered to us, they must have also surrendered to the German army at the same time. Just ask the Germans and we'll know why. ”

In fact, although Alfred was right, the causal relationship was completely reversed.

The Anglo-French expeditionary forces did not surrender to the Germans at the same time because they surrendered to the Norwegian army, but they first surrendered to the Germans on the southern front, and then turned around to let the troops on the northern front surrender to the Norwegian army by the way, so as to avoid unnecessary sacrifices.

It didn't take long for Colonel Sundlow to send someone to explain the situation to Alfred—the German 30th Division had completely routed the main Anglo-French forces on the Southern Front, causing the Anglo-French expeditionary force to surrender. A British infantry regiment in the north that was responsible for the diversionary mission stopped the diversionary mission and surrendered to the Norwegian 5th Division because it had no targets to cover.

"After a long time, we have not completely defeated even a covering force of the British, but the Germans have already wiped out the main forces of the British and French armies. It's really no comparison, no blow........" Alfred said with some regret.

After all, the fact that he could launch an attack on the troops of the British Empire and always have the upper hand made him proud for a while. As a result, in the end, I found that the record I was proud of was not even a fraction of what the German army had achieved!

"You can't just think like that," Marven comforted Alfred with great optimism: "After all, we pinned down a whole regiment of British troops in the north for the German 30th Division, relieving them of the pressure of attacking." If this whole regiment of British troops were thrown into the southern front, I think even the Germans would have fought harder. ”

Indeed, a regiment of British troops, which was already a third of the strength of the German 30th Division. Being able to prevent this force from advancing to fight the 30th Division more or less relieved Hans of a lot of pressure for the offensive in the south.

Taking a deep breath, Alfred finally challenged himself and said, "Well, we still won this battle anyway, and that's the biggest good news." Now, we have just ended a war and defended our homeland. At least we have left blood and sacrifices, and have not been a bystander. ”

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

"Our war has just begun." In the Anglo-French front headquarters, Hans smiled and instructed his commanders.

On the side, there were British Lieutenant General Oliver and French Colonel Bernal, who had just woken up from a coma.

For this battle, the British and French forces lost 3 cruisers, 7 destroyers, as well as two British light divisions and a French infantry regiment, but the results obtained were so embarrassing.

The German Navy lost single-digit carrier-based aircraft and the Army suffered less than 3,000 casualties, but it paid such a heavy price to the British and French forces. Whether on the road or at sea, the German army in this battle performed impeccably.

The lowest price in exchange for the greatest result is something that any commander can only dream of. But since the beginning of the war, only the Germans, only the German army, have done this. And over and over again.

Standing in the position belonging to the prisoners of war, Lieutenant General Oliver suddenly felt a little dazed, did the Germans really have any secret to ensure that they would always give the most correct command? Or, could it be that all the outstanding players of this era were reincarnated in Germany?!

If Oliver knew that the Anglo-French forces and the Norwegian Wehrmacht in the original history could not defeat the German troops in Norway, perhaps his heart would be a little more balanced now.

After all, this time it was a two-on-two war, and it was too much decent to lose the ending of the Triple Alliance against the German army.

"Immediately send a telegram to the Führer, announcing the successful end of the Norwegian war." Rear Admiral Hans smiled and instructed a staff officer: "You can ask the country to arrange a fleet as soon as possible and take us home." ”

Hans not only completed the task that Reinhardt gave him to hold back the Anglo-French army at this moment, but also overfulfilled it! He completely annihilated this enemy, which was more than twice his own strength, not only made it impossible for the British and French forces to use these troops on the Western Front in the future, but also freed the German army from the Nordic theater of an unexpected elite division, increasing the bargaining chips that were about to be used in the Western Front.

"As for these captives........ Hans turned to look at Oliver and Bernal, who were guarded by the guards, and said lightly, "Let's leave it to the Norwegians for the time being." We don't have the energy to travel back and forth to escort them back and forth. ”

In fact, the fate of these captives has long been predestined. As aggressors, the Norwegians will not be sympathetic to their end. And leaving them in Norway could be given to Quisling as free labor for the Third Reich.

As long as Quisling used these prisoners of war to replace the Norwegian people whom he had historically driven to produce food, make munitions, and build factories for the Third Reich, the Third Reich would also benefit from Norway. And because there is no internal oppression, Quisling will not be strongly opposed by the Norwegian people. Everything is much better than the original ending in history.

Between a friendly Norway and an occupied Norway, Reinhardt finally chose to cooperate.
