Chapter 1501: The Power of the People

"Citizens of Reykjavík, don't be afraid, we're here to save you!" At this moment, a loudspeaker sounded in the distance, quite loud, almost half of the city could be heard.

This is recorded in advance, otherwise where would I go to find so many soldiers who know Icelandic, find an ordinary translator, and never dare to go to the front line in the chariot.

After all, throughout World War II, Iceland played a soy sauce role, and who would go specifically to learn their language for a country of only 120,000 people?

Icelandic is definitely an unpopular language.

"More than a year ago, the British brazenly invaded Iceland, hijacked senior officials of the Icelandic government, and used Iceland as the front line of the counter-offensive against Europe, bringing disaster to Iceland. Let this originally quiet and peaceful land be shrouded in war, if there were no British and American garrisons, there would be no today, all of this is caused by Britain and the United States! ”

If it weren't for the British occupation and the Americans stationed troops here, why would Germany come here to fight, and why would it have trouble with Iceland?

In every street, there are such propaganda vehicles promoting.

"We in Germany have come with peace in mind. We don't want war here, and as long as the Americans are driven out, we believe that there will be peace and prosperity here. ”

"We're going to invest here, we're going to build infrastructure, we're going to upgrade Iceland's infrastructure, we're going to bring a lot of jobs, and Iceland will be richer than it used to be, just like Europe is now!"

These are the ones that have been entered before, and the simple meaning is that Germany will make Icelanders have money to eat, and use infrastructure to increase employment and economic growth, which is already a tried and tested solution in Europe.

Brought to Iceland, of course it worked.

This set was originally intended to be played when entering Reykjavík, so that the Icelanders would not resist and watch the Germans exterminate the Americans, but now, it happens that the Icelanders are rebelling against the atrocities of the Americans, and the demonstrations have turned into bloodshed, which is even more meaningful.

Suddenly, they burst out with a roar: "Follow Germany, down with the Americans!" ”

"Yes, we want work, we want bread!"

Iceland doesn't have any heavy industry, almost exclusively relies on fishing, and most Icelanders are poor, and now the Germans are excited by the promise of more jobs.

Look at what the Americans occupied here, what did they do, and what good did it do for Iceland? Look at Germany, which has just come here and is going to help Iceland develop its economy!

On the street, the tank rumbled up, and on the side of the tank, there were banners. It reads Long live Iceland, build a better home with Iceland, drive out the Americans, and so on.

The tankmen drove their tanks, carefully bypassing the Icelanders who were being strafed by the machine guns, passing by them, and when the tanks passed, a large number of Icelanders followed.

Now don't be afraid, the Americans will try to fire machine guns again, and there will be German tanks that will bombard them.

The machine-gun positions on the opposite side did not fire at all, and after seeing the tanks of the Germans, the squad leader immediately gave the order to retreat.

At this time, how to fire? Let's not talk about how to fight the tanks, as long as they fire, they will be killed by the German tanks, and the rest will be torn to pieces by the angry Icelanders.

They shamefully fled backwards, and in order to avoid accidental damage, the German tanks did not open fire, and they rumbled forward, following the rout of the Americans, constantly advancing forward.

If you look at it from a distance, you can see German tanks around it, with a large number of Icelandic people, squeezing towards the center of the city, where is the headquarters of the American garrison, and near the garrison barracks.

"Commander, the Germans have rushed in." In the headquarters, an officer hurried in and said to Lieutenant General Alexander.

"The Germans came in?" Alexander was also depressed: "What about our troops? ”

"They can't fire because the Icelanders are with the Germans, and if we fire, there will be terrible consequences."

In fact, fire had already been fired, but only in a small area, sporadic gunfire rang out over the city, and most of them were American troops retreating.

By now, the situation has become clear, and it was originally intended to rely on the citizens of Iceland to hold out for a while longer, but who knows, it has backfired.

"The Germans will come to us soon." Major General Slaich said, "Or, give the order." ”

Major General Slaich is determined, what is he afraid of, if the Icelanders are not interested, then simply beat them together.

Lieutenant General Alexander, of course, knew what Major General Slaich meant, and if the order was given, then the whole of Reykjavík would be bloodied, and the American troops would eventually die in battle, and at the same time, a large number of innocent Icelandic soldiers would be killed.

Alexander's face showed a miserable smile, this smile was more ugly than crying.

"General, a telegram has arrived from the White House, asking us to continue to resist and not compromise with the Germans." An adjutant said.

The White House finally got the news, just to resist, that is, to die in battle?

They were all politicians who only thought from a political point of view, so that all the defenders of Iceland died in battle, and their names went down in history? Phew, why didn't Roosevelt push his wheelchair over and send him to death?

Soldiers are not afraid of death, but it is only right that it is meaningful to die.

"Americans, get out!"

At this moment, a terrible sound had erupted in the distance, and in the space of two hours, the encirclement had narrowed to the headquarters and the nearby barracks.

A large number of American soldiers with guns in their hands looked out, and less than fifty meters away from them were a large number of Icelanders, and in the rear of the Icelanders, there were German tanks.

Originally, the Icelanders were behind the tanks, but watching the Americans keep retreating, they finally got into high spirits and kept moving forward, passing over the German tanks, and the German tanks could only fall behind in order to avoid crushing the Icelanders.

On this day, Icelanders were proud enough, and the usually high-spirited American occupation troops were driven like rabbits.

The few backward American soldiers were surrounded by the Icelanders, and the end was very tragic, they were beaten to death.

"Americans, surrender."

Wave after wave outside, the Americans either died in battle or surrendered, and it seemed that there was no other way out.

"Otherwise, let's surrender." Lieutenant General Alexander said: "At this time, there is no point in confrontation. ”
