Japanese visitors in the 251st German fleet

Norway is located in the northwest of the Scandinavian Peninsula in Northern Europe, bordering Sweden to the east, Finland and Russia to the northeast, and the Norwegian Sea to the west. Since Germany had no direct outlet to the Atlantic, it was only possible to enter the Atlantic Ocean via the North Sea, bypassing the British mainland.

Since Germany had no direct outlet to the Atlantic, it was only possible to enter the Atlantic Ocean via the North Sea, bypassing the British mainland. Every time the German surface assault fleet entered the Atlantic, it had to make a detour through the North Sea and the Norwegian Sea into the Atlantic.

With the German Navy's victory in the Norwegian Naval Battle in 1939, for Britain, the Royal Navy, which lacked high-speed warships, had only one effective means to contain the arrogant German attack fleet before its new high-speed battleships were completed and put into service: that is, to seize Norway and establish land airfields along the coast.

And for the German Navy, once it gained a base in Norway, broke through the British blockade in the North Sea, and entered the Great Western Front for a breakthrough operation, it was greatly reduced.

As a result, Norway, which was sandwiched between Britain and Germany, became involved in the war because of its geographical location, becoming a battlefield for Britain and Germany.

Slightly different from history, when the European war broke out, the Norwegian government secretly reached a tacit agreement with Britain and France, acquiescing to the occupation of Norway by the British and French forces. As a result, this important information was leaked to Hitler by Norway's own defense minister, Quisling, who was also a Nazi, and finally led Germany to take the lead. The Norwegian campaign was launched.

And this plane, due to the cooperation of China, the Soviet Union and Germany, is powerful. The thought of the combined terror of the Soviet Union in the east and Germany in the south gave the Norwegian government ten dares not to play such a trick. Norway sternly rejected the British and French demands.

But giants fight, and the opinions of the gnomes will not be respected by the giants at all.

What the British can think of, the Germans can also think of, not to mention Lin Han and Hannah from later generations, and they know the importance of this place very well in their hearts. The victory in the Norwegian naval battle in December last year was the focus of discussion at the internal meeting of the German navy, land and air force.

Knowing the difference between the strengths of the German and British navies, Lin Han and Hannah saw the Battle of Norway as an opportunity to inflict another heavy blow on the Royal Navy.

In the eyes of Germany. The biggest weakness of the British Navy now is not the lack of high-speed battleships. It's the lack of aircraft carriers. According to information from German intelligence, four merchant ships in Britain have entered the dockyard and are undergoing aircraft carrier transformation. At the same time, the British sent an order to the United States for a similar renovation at American shipyards.

As long as the material is sufficient. It is quite easy to transform a merchant ship into an escort aircraft carrier. American Jeep aircraft carrier during World War II. The Americans were able to complete the renovation in just over a month at the earliest. Of course. This is a reflection of the strong industrial power of the United States, while the pace of the United Kingdom is much slower. Even so, the Germans calculated at the speed of their own domestic transformation of aircraft carriers. In just three months at most, that is, by the end of February and early March 1940, the British Navy will be commissioned with several escort carriers.

Although this kind of aircraft carrier converted from merchant ships is slow and poorly protected, there is one point, the current Royal Navy battleships are all old ships with a speed of less than 23 knots, and the two sides can just accompany the joint operation - of course, the escort aircraft carrier converted from this kind of merchant ship is extremely fragile, and usually only one torpedo can directly sink it.

Although this kind of escort aircraft carrier was not much of a threat to Germany, if the British Navy could stab them again when they were at their weakest, then why wait for their escort carriers to come out before going to war? This is a war, not a novel, in order to pour more water and cheat money, he did not hesitate to reduce his own IQ and opened a reverse golden finger, so after the Norwegian naval battle, all the German battleships participating in the war entered the dock for repair and maintenance. As soon as the ship's condition was restored to its best, the German three armies immediately launched the long-prepared Norwegian campaign for the Weser exercise.

In the early morning of 20 January, dozens of warships carrying more than 10,000 soldiers who had landed in the first wave quietly set sail under the cover of night and sailed into the Baltic Sea. On the afternoon of 21 January, the British Admiralty received reports that two reconnaissance planes on reconnaissance missions in the Skagerrak Strait had disappeared one after another, and that one of the reconnaissance planes had sent back a telegram before it was shot down, claiming that it had been attacked by German HE112 fighters. This incident alarmed the upper echelons of the Royal Navy, and the news was quickly conveyed to the upper echelons. The British top brass immediately convened an emergency meeting to discuss the matter. It's just that it's getting late at this time, and the British Navy will have to wait until tomorrow dawn if it wants to send more planes to reconnoitre.

By this time, the British navy had realized that the German navy might be dispatched again, but they were not yet able to determine the strategic objectives of their opponents. The only thing that could be done was to order the main fleet stationed in Scapa Bay to be on standby, and the precious reaction time was wasted in such a night.

It has been more than a month since the Battle of Norway, and the Royal Navy has never recovered from the previous defeat, both in strength and morale. The British navy did not realize that the strategic target of the Germans was not the Atlantic but Norway.

After dawn on 22 January, the British sent more reconnaissance planes to search for possible directions for the German ships. As a result, in the air it encountered several interceptions by carrier-based fighters of the German fleet. At this time, Britain imported a large number of P40 fighters from the United States, and it was the modified P40 that carried out reconnaissance missions this time. After the planes of the two sides exchanged planes in the air many times, the British Air Force, which had been successfully intercepted by the adversary, never discovered the exact location of the opponent's fleet. But the advent of carrier-based aircraft proved that the German Navy had once again made a large-scale sortie - because aircraft carriers, unlike battleships, had to be escorted by other warships.

At this time, the British local high-level was faintly aware that the target of the Germans' trip was "a certain possibility" of Norway. On this very day, the spy group assigned by the British in Germany sent back an urgent information, claiming that a large number of German ships had left the port on about the 20th, including several mixed cargo ships. At this time, the Royal Navy finally could not sit still. An emergency dispatch was made at noon on the same day, and the target was Norway.

All Oslo. Aircraft carrier.

Since Germany had no direct outlet to the Atlantic, it was only possible to enter the Atlantic Ocean via the North Sea, bypassing the British mainland. The German surface assault fleet entered the Atlantic Ocean every time. All can only be detoured to the North Sea. Pass the Norwegian Sea into the Atlantic Ocean.

With the German Navy's victory in the Norwegian Naval Battle in 1939, the Royal Navy, which lacked high-speed warships, was ahead of the completion of its new high-speed battleships. In order to restrain the arrogant German attack fleet. There is only one most effective means: the capture of Norway. And to build a land airfield along the coast, with the support of aviation, it would be a hundred times more difficult for the German Navy to enter the Atlantic.

And for the German Navy. Once a base was obtained in Norway, breaking through the British blockade in the North Sea, and entering the Great Western Front for a diplomatic break-up operation, it dropped significantly.

As a result, Norway, which was sandwiched between Britain and Germany, became involved in the war because of its geographical location, becoming a battlefield for Britain and Germany.
