In Europe of this era, men were accustomed to having a few drinks in taverns every day after work, and those who were better off, such as nobles, wealthy people, and soldiers of sufficient rank, often passed the time in salons of different sizes and themes. In the first half of this era, Lynn fought the muddy, wet, and dangerous front line, and tasted the hardships of soldiers. From the initial novelty to the gradual adaptation, the most important thing is the change of mentality, although the situation of the empire is still like a ship sailing in stormy seas, he does not hesitate to enhance the friendship with his colleagues through this seemingly extravagant way.

In this century-old Norwegian castle, the current headquarters of the occupation forces in the port of Tromsø, the weapons depot used to store swords and armor in the early years was transformed into a spacious lounge for male guests to smoke and chat after the last transformation of the Norwegian local political axe. Fluffy sofas and delicate bar and wine cabinets are furnished, and the walls are adorned with brightly colored paintings of nudes, including Adam and Eve by the Italian painter Dürer and Jean-Léon by the French painter. Jérôme's "Harem Terrace" and Adolf. Xianlian. Bougreau's "Fairies", their pictures are "beautiful and delicious", but they are not **nude**aroused**.

There was no starlight at night at the pole of the day, but the thick rain clouds and pouring rain still turned the light outside the window into a depth that was almost night. In the lounge, Lynn, Steplenfen, Stenvasse, and a few other emperors were engaged in their after-dinner routines: smoking, drinking, and chatting. Although such places can be found in the "Vault" base, the atmosphere and environment here are obviously more free and relaxed.

"You guys haven't seen it with your own eyes, really, that Ying [***] official regards himself as a gentleman of noble character in every move, word and deed, and walks with a clear eye, haha...... Relying on such officers to fight, it is no wonder that the British [***] team will be slaughtered in North Africa by Marshal Rommel's armored corps. ”

After drinking more than half a glass of beer brewed by the locals of Tromsø, Stenvasse smiled and teased the British commanders he met during the day. After many encounters in the two world wars, the British Army counterparts have left a deep impression in the minds of the German officers and soldiers as weak, friendly and modest, although they have no lack of courageous actions on the battlefield, on the whole they have more defeats than victories, and they are neither as brutal as the Russian/Soviet soldiers, nor as always supported by abundant firepower as the American [***] team, and the treatment after being captured by them is also better. This time, on the first night of arrival in Tromsø, all the British crew and the Army personnel ordered to set up the radar base station remained on board for the night, which was somewhat showy, at least on this night, relieving the vigilance of the Imperial occupation forces.

Although the Nordic summer is not as hot as the European continent, the Norwegians have a centuries-old tradition of brewing their own beer and drinking it in large quantities, which is naturally very much in line with the German appetite, while the "Viking beer" is between ordinary beer and wine, and the intensity is slightly higher. Lynn's colleague at the base camp, Heinrich. Lieutenant Colonel Trenkoll said with great interest: "The stubborn British still follow the same set of infantry tanks and cruiser tanks until now, and if the Soviet Union is defeated and the American power is withdrawn from Europe, the remaining Britain and France will not be enough to constitute an obstacle to our revival of Germany!" ”

When it came to orthodox combat affairs, the brave and fierce Colonel Steplenfen immediately became serious, he held a cigarette in one hand, a beer glass in the other, and said with a frown: "However, I heard that the British Royal Air Force has also been equipped with jet fighters, and their last few battleships have been completed one after another, although we are 100% sure that we will defeat their army, but the situation of air and naval battles is still unfavorable to us!" ”

Lieutenant Colonel Trenkoll winked and smirked, "Don't worry, every advancement of the times will narrow the military gap between countries, allowing them to enter a new race from a closer starting line." Just as at the beginning of the century, after the appearance of dreadnoughts, the old battleships of the navies of various countries became obsolete almost overnight, and we went from a second-class naval state to the second in the world in just a few years; Advances in fighter jets, dive bombers, and tank technology fueled lightning tactics, and the Germans, who had been crushed by the Versailles Treaty, once again made a leap forward in just a few years, and finally lost only to the combined attack of all the strong enemies. Now, we have ushered in another historic leap: the atomic bomb. Now it is the United States and us that have mastered the technology of the atomic bomb, Britain does not have it, and the Soviet Union does not have it, and this is our greatest advantage over them at present! ”

Hearing this, Lynn did not immediately express his position, but took a warm sip of this unique beer. Unlike the ordinary officers and soldiers of the Imperial Guard, this Lieutenant Colonel Trenkoll is a combat officer in the base camp and has a relatively comprehensive knowledge of the top secrets within the Empire. At the beginning, Lynn and others went to Switzerland to use the secret funds of the empire to buy and merge Western European enterprises on a large scale, Trenkoll was ordered to take another comprehensive detachment to operate in south-central Norway, although their hands are not as good as the blockbuster combination of Lynn and Andri, but now nearly half of the new factories in Tromsø and Narvik are their "trophies", and these factories are basically joint venture factories opened by Norwegian enterprises, mainly producing a variety of relatively basic industrial products, which are more acceptable to the local Norwegian residents in terms of national feelings. Now, Trenkoll has been appointed military governor of the Tromsø industrial base, responsible for the security of the new base.

"Well said, well said!"

Sternworth gave a heartfelt thumbs up, then clinked glasses with Lieutenant Colonel Trenkohl, and the two of them each took a large sip of their wine. As the magistrate of Tromsø, Stengas, like most people here, rejoiced that the nuclear explosion in the Norwegian Sea was a real atomic bomb attack. Since the lore tactic originally used to detonate the conflict between the Eastern and Western camps has achieved its main purpose, the top brass of the empire has also used it as a cover to boost the morale of the army and the people and improve the confidence of the war. Trencole's rhetoric and Lynn's silence are all intentional or unintentional expressions in this state of mind.

Colonel Steplenfen would have felt depressed when it came to the question of how to outdo his opponents, and he was more energetic than most at the mention of ways to outdo his opponents. Following Stengas, he toasted Trenkohl and said, "It is really insightful and admirable to listen to your Excellency's words!" ”

Driven by the warm atmosphere, the two typical Germans drank freely, and seeing that Trencole's face was already flushed, Lynn deliberately changed the subject and said: "If you grasp it well, the British are still relatively easy to fool, but you can't treat them as fools and fools." The telegram from Oslo did not specify how long the British fleet would stay, and I personally assume that it would not be long but not tomorrow, and that involved the issue of the British sailors going ashore for leave. Although they can't tell the real Norwegian from our Germans from the outside, it's hard to guarantee that no one will know a few words of Norwegian, and if he happens to meet someone on our side who is not good at Norwegian, what do you say? ”

At serious military meetings, the officers always admired Lynn as a super invincible strategic planner and a heavyweight who had been affirmed by the Führer many times, and Lynn didn't mind taking ideas on key issues, but after all, a person's thinking was cramped, and Stengas could still make some suggestions, but Colonel Steplenfen and the like were eager to chop up every uninvited guest and throw it into the ravine to feed the wolves, and it was rare to come up with a construction surname.

With the stimulation of alcohol, the officers' mentality of speaking was also a little more relaxed, and some of the proposals, although outrageous, were also a way of thinking about solving problems. As he spoke, an officer named Harditop popped up with the idea that ignited Lynn's inspiration: "Why not use the old Italian officers to deal with us, find a ballast in the bar and fight with the British sailors, and then pretend to protest and have their commander ground them!" This method is especially effective for opponents with strict military discipline! ”

Some of the officers originally took this as a joke and laughed loudly, but Lynn nodded seriously: "That's a good idea!" ”

The next morning, after the rain, the sky cleared, and the rain-washed port of Tromsø was like a beauty who had just come out of the bath, exuding a seductive aura all over her body, stimulating hormones with different surnames. Before noon, the commander of the British fleet sent a letter to the mayor of Tromsø, offering to let the British sailors go ashore in batches to shop without disturbing the residents, and offered to exchange the British sailors for Norwegian currency at a preferential exchange rate. Naturally, the letter went to the nominal deputy mayor of Stengas, who replied to the British, following the strategy agreed upon by the occupation command, warmly inviting the British sailors to come ashore and at the same time making euphemistic demands that they not carry any weapons, not to violate the laws of the land and the customs of the inhabitants.

Upon receipt of the reply, the British commander sent ashore a written reply in response to both requests, along with the first batch of more than forty British officers and men. Stenvas did as he preached, and sent a young and beautiful German girl who was fluent in English and Norwegian to act as a tour guide, and sure enough, the "John Bull" honestly followed the girl on a tour of the city of Tromsø - the number of inhabitants and the size of the city in this northern port with a history of more than 400 years had not really expanded, and the whole tour took only half a day, and the process was not very remarkable, and the real episode was arranged in the evening. Dinner was served in a lively pub in the city, and in order to welcome the British friends from afar, the host specially invited musicians to entertain them, from light and happy songs with strong Nordic style to popular European music. Not only that, but the waiters in the tavern were all young girls in compact blouses and knee-length skirts, some of them wore blond hair and whips, some of them wore beautiful headbands, not very beautiful, but all of them had friendly smiles. Tromsø in the summer is not only rich in seafood, but also rich in game and vegetables, plus delicious Norwegian bacon, sausages and local Viking beer, and the British sailors who had endured the boring seafaring life a day ago seemed to enter paradise in an instant. In this northern port, far from the battlefield, the robes were guarding their posts on the ship, and the British sailors who landed on the shore naturally let down their guard and drank freely.

At the dinner table, the sweet-looking and graceful tour guide lady changed her subtle style during the day, and frequently made the British sailors happy with her implicit provocative words, and before they knew it, they drank glass after glass of beer, mocked each other, demolished the stage, and even had a slight push and shove. If this were the only case, the British sailors would not fall into the trap, and after three rounds of drinking, they would inevitably become frivolous in their words and movements, and there was only one beautiful guide, and their attention naturally turned to the "Norwegian girls" who acted as waitresses. Unable to wait for the other to give them a hug, they began to take the initiative, and with a drunken approach, but the waiters did not seem to know English, so they had to gesture hand and mouth, and boldly tried to make intimate movements, and the Norwegian girls' dodge did not stop them, accompanied by a scream, the sound of music and laughter stopped abruptly, but two seconds later, the British sailors skipped the episode with laughter. As war winners, they were popular with girls in the Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, Greece, and Italy, and even in the northern ports of Germany, their pounds and food made it difficult for them to refuse. The cold environment of Northern Europe has created a fierce and rigid folk style, and the Viking storm of the past is the best proof of this - this is an easy-to-understand human background, when the British sailor continued to use the groping pig hand, one of the musicians suddenly burst out, he shouted, picked up the guitar and slammed it on the head of the British sailor, and the waiter who had just been assaulted screamed and hid behind him, which is a side portrayal of the relationship between the two. Seeing that their companions were knocked to the ground, the British sailors who should have kept restrained and calm had been completely disturbed by the alcohol, they forgot the commander's admonition, and four or five people rose up and waved their fists at the musicians, but the young man did not show weakness, he used both fists and kicks, and actually knocked over two British sailors one after another, this scene attracted more British sailors to get up and prepare to join the fist fight, and the remaining three musicians did not seem to be bad eggs, they waved their respective instruments to relieve their companions, and as a result, two more British sailors immediately saw red.

In the screams of the young people with different surnames one after another, the British sailors could no longer care about the officers and non-commissioned officers present, the young instinct and the aggressive surname made more and more people involved in the fight, and at this time, someone in the corner of the tavern threw leather boots and smashed them at the British sailors who were still staying at the table, these stinky hidden weapons suddenly angered the British, many sailors immediately attacked the shoe throwers in the shadows, and the two sides quickly opened up a "second battlefield" of fighting, and the weapons also rose from fists to wine bottles, tables and chairs, Wounds continued to appear on flushed faces, complete skulls were constantly opened, and everyone present was involved in the chaos except for the waitress, the female guide, and the elderly tavern operator, and the number of people who fell increased over time. Nearly half an hour later, the local police, who were not large enough to control the situation, brought with them a large group of "accomplices" - local residents who had come to help maintain law and order, who spoke little or no words, who seemed to be quite athletic, who followed the police into the tavern and appeared very neat, and who did not hesitate to isolate the two sides of the fight and keep them in place.

As planned, Stenvas quickly sent a local official to the docks to inform the British fleet commander of the news, and the English gentleman discreetly brought two officers to the tavern where the incident occurred, and Stenvas duly "came from his home". After learning about the incident and the casualties, the two discussed in person, and the remnants of the brawling British sailors were brought back to the fleet by the commander to deal with them, and the loss of the tavern and the compensation for the wounded Norwegians were discussed in detail. Just looking at the scene at that time, the British would think that the Norwegians were still quite friendly, but the development of events was completely beyond their imagination, because the Norwegian young man who bravely fought back in order to protect his fiancée died of his injuries that night, and when he heard the bad news, hundreds of Norwegians gathered at the dock early the next morning to demonstrate, and as time passed, more than 1,000 residents gathered at the pier. Under the maintenance of the local political officials and police in Tromsø, the people only protested without resorting to excessive force, and the British [***] side, which was so overwhelmed by this battle, was afraid that the situation would escalate, so that it repeatedly canceled the autopsy request and directly negotiated compensation with the Norwegian side. In this era when information was not well developed, the casualties of the brawl in Tromsø quickly reached Oslo and was reported by a small newspaper, but fortunately, the Norwegians in the capital were more concerned about the war on the European continent, and the news caused only some low-level discussion, and the royal government axe only sent two officials to coordinate. Soon, the British political axe and the military accepted the not-so-exaggerated demand for compensation and apology from the families of the dead in Norway in the spirit of calming the situation, and the diplomatic position of Britain and Norway in the war was not shaken by this turmoil, but after such a trouble, the British fleet temporarily stationed in the port of Tromsø not only did not allow sailors to go ashore for vacation, but hurriedly set sail after the incident. Although the British integrated radar base station built on Hakoi Island has been retained, and the number of combat troops stationed there has increased to 40, it seems that these British technicians and soldiers can only stay on the remote island and enjoy the pure natural sea scenery.
