Chapter 239: Fighting for Navia (End)

In fact, Quisling was quite decent for a long time.

He graduated from the Norwegian Military Academy in 1908 with the highest grades in the same period, and was transferred directly to the field artillery unit as a lieutenant after graduation.

Such achievements and starts made the first half of Quisling's life go smoothly and rise step by step.

When he was not yet 30 years old, he was awarded the Order of the British Empire by the British government for taking care of British interests in private.

During the same period, he was publicly named and praised by the Soviet government for his goodwill towards Soviet Russia.

However, when he proposed himself to the Comintern and asked for the formation of the Norwegian Red Guards, he was refused.

He immediately went from one extreme to the other, learning Reinhardt's methods and theories and founding the Norwegian "National Unionist Party".

But this idiot has only learned the surface, but not the essence!

Reinhardt's Socialist Workers' Party was founded against the backdrop of a disgraced state, occupied territory, and fragmented territory.

In Germany, where the people are desperate to get out of the desperate situation, Reinhardt's appearance can almost be said to be in line with the will of God. But in rich and peaceful Norway, this theory does not work at all.

Contrary to Reinhardt's leadership of the Socialist Workers' Party (PSP), Quisling's "National Unity Party" has not even been able to secure a single seat in parliament, let alone increase its influence.

Now, if Quisling wants to climb to higher positions, the only way to do it is a coup d'état. But the only force he held in his hands was a downsized division in the hands of the commander of the Narvik garrison, Sundlo, plus more than 300 members of the Norwegian armed stormtroopers. This is less than a third of the other troops under Haakon VII, and it is not easy to get a coup d'état.

Moreover, if such a coup d'état fails, it will be a loss of head!

In order to greatly increase the probability of success, Quisling could only rely on the strength of a large country like Germany. Even if he is ashamed, even if he is pointed out by a thousand people, he must seize the opportunity to become the kind of person he dreams of!

"You're going to regret it!" Quisling, who was ostracized by everyone, patted the battle indignantly and got up and said: "Without the Germans to help us, Norway will sooner or later become the next British colony." ”

Seeing that no one paid attention to him, Gisling had no choice but to pretend to be reserved and straighten out his collar, and then said to himself weakly: "Since everyone has their own opinions, then I don't have to stay longer." Let's do our own thing, and we will speak with the results. ”

The King watched in silence as Quisling finished his performance, and then watched without saying a word as the clown walked out of the door of the conference room.

"Phew, a shameless dog!" Minister Koch, who had always been polite and civilized, burst out in disgust.

"That kind of person shouldn't be invited to today's meeting!"

"If I were a German official, I would never support such a fool to come to power, and this kind of person would not have been remembered in any way."

.......

Officials vented their frustration and released their pent-up emotions.

"Actually....... The German government has secretly contacted our intelligence services in the early hours of this morning and has offered to provide us with German weapons for an infantry division. A bespectacled intelligence chief swallowed his saliva and added after everyone had calmed down a bit: "The German side has not even put forward any excessive conditions, and has additionally allowed us to trade directly with iron ore resources of equal value." ”

"They didn't say, for example, the conditions that asked us to provide a port, allowing German troops to enter our territory?" Minister Koch's eyes widened, and he looked at the head of the intelligence department suspiciously.

"Nope!" The person in charge nodded with certainty, and looked at Koch and said: "The German side has made it clear that they will never set foot on our land unless we explicitly ask for it. And they did not need an alliance between the Norwegian government and the German government, they only hoped that the Norwegian side would remain neutral. As for the weapons to be bought and sold, we could send transport ships to the port of Danzig for shipment. ”

Koch looked at the king in surprise and saw that the other party was also looking at him with joy on his face.

Taking a deep breath, Koch slowly spoke: "In this way, Gisling's behavior just now has nothing to do with the attitude of the German government. ”

"That's right!" Haakon VII nodded affirmatively to everyone present and said, "At least we can be sure that Gislin has not contacted the German government at all. Otherwise, he would never have uttered a declaration that was completely contrary to that of the German government. ”

"What if....... Is this a trap set up by the German government to make us let our guard down? The Norwegian Prime Minister raised it with concern.

"Impossible!" Minister Koch immediately retorted: "Judging by Quisling's attitude, he must have waged his tail at the German government through secret channels a long time ago." Whenever the Germans wanted to invade us, they only needed to say hello to the Norwegian Minister of Armed Forces, and they would be able to land on our territory with ease. ”

"From this point of view, there is no need for the German government to go to the trouble of negotiating arms deals with us." The head of the intelligence department apparently agreed with Koch's analysis and responded.

"Nagis is ....... now," the prime minister asked.

"He's just making his own decisions." Koch breathed a sigh of relief at the thought that a powerful country like Germany did not go along with Quisling: "Without Germany's affirmation, no matter how happy Quisling is, he can't afford to raise too many problems." ”

Until then, Koch had feared that Quisling would do something out of the ordinary and lead to a German invasion. In fact, from what everyone knew about Quisling, it had long been guessed that he must have sent a signal of cooperation to the German side.

However, the arms trade sent by Germany relieved Koch's worries from the side.

Quisling must have contacted Germany, but even so, the German government was willing to provide weapons to the Norwegian government. This shows that the German leaders did not agree with Ghisling's demands or proposals, and had no interest in occupying Norway.

Contrary to idiots like Quisling, Germany's leaders are much smarter. They apparently understood how much a neutral Norway would benefit Germany, so they were not seduced by the great fighters offered by Guisling.

With such a rational analysis, under the temptation of foreign and domestic people who should take the initiative to give their arms to each other, they can calmly choose the most secure and advantageous way of action. Give up the low-hanging fruit of destroying the country and guide the situation in a direction that is peaceful and stable but beneficial to itself. The Führer of the Third Reich, though clever and somewhat terrifying, reassured Koch.

This is because the German Führer was a smart man, so he would not be seduced by superficial interests like Quisling. As long as the situation does not deteriorate further, Koch is sure that he will help Norway remain neutral as much as possible and be a "pawn" in favor of Germany.

Now in the entire Norwegian leadership, only the idiot of Quisling is still in the dark, vainly waiting for the support of the German side. Sad, abominable, even more pathetic!.
