By the end of the naval battle on 24 January, the German navy had gained sea control of the Kattegat Strait between Norway and Denmark, and no longer had to worry about the British royal blockade to cut off its connection with the mainland. A large number of transport ships from the mainland were constantly bringing supplies such as troops, tanks, artillery, and airplanes to southern Norway. Compared with the difficult stalemate and tug-of-war between the German army and the British army in Northern Europe in history, the strategic shape of the Germans in this plane can be said to have the absolute upper hand and the initiative.

If possible, the current German Navy could even take the initiative and cut off the connection between Narvik and the British mainland. For the remainder of the day, however, the Germans were preoccupied with consolidating the occupied territories in southern Norway. They built a large number of field airfields in the port of Bergen, and seemed unconcerned about the British troops who occupied the northern port of Narvik and cut off its main communication route from the Swedish iron mines.

Germany imports about 11 million tons of iron ore from Sweden a year, but before the war, Germany had hoarded enough iron ore reserves for more than half a year, and Sweden's iron ore source channel was cut off by the British army, which would not have much impact on Germany for the time being. Together with the current Soviet-German alliance, Germany still has the means to obtain the minerals it needs from the Soviet Union and Tongguò Italy.

However, the main reason why the Germans were in no hurry to attack the port of Narvik and drove the British into the sea while they were at their weakest was that the German General Staff Headquarters now regarded Narvik as a wound that would make the British bleed more. In the eyes of those in the General Staff, after the First Battle of Bergengenham, the British Royal Navy was greatly damaged. The initiative in the Norwegian campaign had completely shifted to the German side. Attacking the port of Bergen too soon would only force the British to "run away" ahead of schedule. In the eyes of the German General Staff, Narvik had now turned into a decoy. A trap to lure the British into throwing more manpower and material resources into it.

The British view of the port of Narvik is also in a state of serious contradiction. The Royal Navy, which had suffered heavy losses and suffered heavy losses, not to mention absolute sea supremacy in the Norwegian Sea, now it was very problematic for them to even ensure the safety of the transport and supply lines of the mainland and the port of Narvik.

After the naval battle of 24 January, the topic of withdrawing troops from the port of Narvik began to be discussed within the British, but opinions were divided.

Square. It was simply that the port of Narvik was so strategically important to the British that it would be almost impossible for the German navy to sneak into the Atlantic Ocean by occupying it. If only another fleet could be set up here. Theoretically, the possibility of the German fleet breaking into the Atlantic through the Norwegian Sea could be minimized.

And what the opposite side said is more hurtful, how can the current Royal Navy fight head-on with the German fleet again? At the moment there are only six battleships left in the British Navy. Two of the four capital ships on the mainland are being repaired at the shipyard, and only two can be attacked. And the other two battleships were in Alexandria, Cairo, in the Mediterranean. It will be a week before I can return to China at the earliest. As for the purchase of battleships from the Americans. It will be a month or two later.

"Now the Norwegian Sea is already the back garden of the Germans who "come and go freely", so don't dream of occupying the port of Narvik as a blockade. ”

The opponents were telling the truth, and even their opinions were the mainstream, but the majority of those in the upper echelons held the opinion that the port of Narvik should continue to be occupied, but the reason for this was due to political considerations, and the British government could not afford the political pressure of the "loss" of Norway immediately after the naval defeat.

So, "look at the shape shì and then say" opinion. It became the idea of the upper echelons of the British army. After the naval battle of 24 January, the British halted the build-up of troops in the port of Narvik. Only the initial landing of the 3,000-strong troops was retained to "show" its presence here.

The colder northern part of Norway is no less cold than the warmer parts of central Europe, where temperatures drop below -10 degrees Celsius for a long time in January, and it is not surprising that the temperature here is minus 20 degrees Celsius. In addition, the mountainous terrain of northern Norway was not suitable for a large-scale assault by the army, and the German army faced great difficulties in transportation in winter if it wanted to take it.

After January 24, for a whole week, the whole of northern Europe was ravaged by icy air from the north of the Arctic, with a great cooling, heavy snowstorm and a cold climate environment, comparable to the winter in Russia. Since the roads were blocked by snow, it became impossible to attack Narvik by land in a short period of time, and the only effective means was to attack by sea.

However, the German naval and land armies were bent on putting more British blood here in Guò, and they did not look at the "meat" of the garrison of more than 3,000 people in Narvik, so they deliberately delayed the attack here, and waited for the British army to add troops here, but unfortunately the opponent did not go to the road.

Now the shape of the northern part of Norway, that is, the British want to go but are reluctant to go, and the Germans want to go but are not in a hurry, and the two sides are in a very delicate and fragile balance.

From the evening of 23 January, the severe snowstorm in Northern Europe continued until 31 January, and by 1 February, the sky was rarely clear.

In this battle of Norway, the German airborne troops cooperated with the marines and successfully wiped out almost all the senior officials and members of the royal family of the Norwegian government department. Soon Defense Minister Quisling, who was secretly colluding with Germany, formed a new government, with Quisling as chancellor.

For ordinary Norwegians, after the German occupation of Norway, their biggest feeling, in addition to anger, was that life was much more inconvenient than before. Because of the German invasion of Norway, Norway, as a victim country, also lost its status as a "neutral country", and Norway's foreign supply routes by sea were quickly cut off by the British navy.

After the German occupation of southern Norway, the military control system imposed during the war, especially the night curfew, also greatly inconvenienced the lives of ordinary people.

On 1 February, however, the German occupation forces lifted the curfew and held a grand religious ceremony in the harbor of Oslo – the "descent" of the Sephiroth gods, which had been played countless times in Germany.

Over the past few years, Germany has had the impression of Europe and other countries around the world that the country has become more and more like a nervous religious country, and that it is a cult. After Lin Han "founded" the Saphiroth Church, he listened to the advice of the former Catholic Father Hank, and "disguised" this sect that originally worshiped the devil and evil gods as a branch of Christianity, and then relied on his huge financial resources and non-human "divine power" to take advantage of the economic crisis to spread it in Germany, Western Europe, and even the entire Western world.

After Hannah replaced Hitler, the Sephiroslavs became the largest sect in Germany. Although there is no open persecution of Judaism or Christianity in Germany today, with the promotion and support of various official means, both overt and covertly, almost all other religions in Germany have been forced to die.

Exporting religion to the outside world and carrying out ideological aggression is itself an important means of "integration and assimilation." Before the war, the development of the Sephiroth religion in Norway was also relatively smooth, and before the German invasion of Norway, the number of followers of the religion in Norway had grown to as many as 100,000. For the Nordic countries, which have a population of only a few million, this is a significant number.

After the Germans occupied Norway, the local Sephirothians, under the command of Hannah and Linhan, also began to operate in the shadows. Considering the "nationalist" and "nationalist" feelings of the locals, Lin Han did not directly ask the local believers and the Germans to take the initiative to cooperate, but only asked them not to confront the German army in order to protect themselves first.

After the Germans occupied Norway, they deliberately arrested a large number of local "non-cooperative people", and later the Sephiroth sect intervened to play a duet with the German army, and most of them were released on bail. One sings blackface, the other sings redface, and similar tricks are played a lot.

Civilians are the most realistic, and when the country is occupied by foreign countries, joining the Sephiroth religion can be well "protected", so in the past few days, the number of Norwegians who have asked to join the religion has increased by thousands. Although these people were all speculators who wanted to infiltrate the sect and "hug their thighs", in the spirit of ordering indiscriminate and indiscriminate, Lin Han still ordered his subordinates to take them all in.

On 1 February, when the local climate in Oslo improved and the snow stopped and it was suitable for an open-air party, Lin Han and Hannah immediately ordered the local church of Sephiroth to hold a large religious service near the port of Oslo. According to their assumptions, they would "brainwash" the local Norway through religious means to weaken their resistance to the German army.

"Zaza dead, Zazas, Nastana Zazas"

On the first of February, the Germans were familiar with the mantra that reverberated over the harbor of Oslo. On this night, the whole of Osport was lit up.

The local Sephiroth followers, with the cooperation of the garrison, held a grand religious ceremony here. In order to attract residents to watch, the Germans also announced that they would distribute bread and roast meat to participants at tonight's gala. At 11 o'clock that night, the port of Oslo was crowded with more than 20,000 locals.

At that time, Hannah's "main body", the Scharnshorst, was specially stationed in the port of Oslo, and then she teleported to the prepared altar on the shore, as she had done countless times in Germany before.

This god-like means of descending shocked all the believers at the scene and the "onlookers" who watched the excitement. That night, the Divine Presence ceremony was once again an "unprecedented" success. Now Lin Han and Hannah, with the strength in their hands, are no longer afraid of "worldly" forces, and when they preach and dance the great gods, they no longer do things like "true gods" and insist on pretending to be "false gods".

In order to prevent the British Air Force from taking advantage of this time to bomb, the night fighter units of the local air force were also on standby, and the German side also specially notified the British before the war to prevent them from accidentally injuring civilians.

But the "honesty" of the British was only honest for one night, and at dawn on February 1, the British Navy launched a sneak attack on the port of Oslo without changing its intentions.
