Akimovich was a little excited, and he thought that Li Xiaofeng was hinting at Chiguoguo that if the Soviet Union could move closer to Germany, the two sides would form an alliance. Well, the thought of this possibility, Akimovich was excited.

Why? To tell the truth, Akimovich was not at all optimistic about Hitler's military adventures, and with the military and economic strength of the Axis powers, he really did not see much chance of victory against the allies led by Britain and France.

If the Soviet Union can be brought in, it will be completely different, compared with Italy and Japan, the two lame allies, the Soviet Union's military capabilities, war potential and abundant resources simply amazed Germany, with the resources of the Soviet Union plus Germany's war planes, is it difficult to conquer the world?

In particular, the Soviet Union also has a super monster like Li Xiaofeng, and with such a powerful backstage with unimaginable capabilities, Germany can almost be invincible. Look at how Russia after World War I resisted the joint intervention of Britain, France, the United States, Italy and Japan, in which the strategic deterrence of a certain immortal played a crucial role.

Akimovich was very happy, and he couldn't wait to start talking about the alliance with Li Xiaofeng immediately, but obviously, Li Xiaofeng didn't mean this, and what he said just now was just a smoke bomb, and to put it bluntly, it was just a fool.

So after hinting at it, Li Xiaofeng suddenly proposed: "I will temporarily garrison Norway with Germany and the Soviet Union until we can ensure the peace and neutrality of Norway without interference from any third party." ”

Akimovich has not made any progress in recent years, and he immediately grasped the key point of Li Xiaofeng's words - Germany and the Soviet Union stationed in Norway together. Since it is a garrison, it naturally involves the issue of the occupied area, and then it is linked to the appearance of the Red Navy in the Narvik Sea. Could it be that the Soviets were also interested in Narvik?

It's really because I've been in it many times before. Akimovich was on high alert this time. He cautiously asked, "Then how do our two countries station troops in Norway?" ”

Li Xiaofeng smiled and said: "I think that with the 68th parallel of north latitude as the boundary, the Soviet Red Army is responsible for the north, and your country is responsible for the south, how about it?" ”

Akimovich chuckled in his heart, he was really afraid of anything. The 68th parallel is south of Narvik, and according to this division, Narvik belongs to the Soviet Union. Aren't we doing it for nothing?

Akimovich naturally objected: "Mr. Andrei, this division is too ...... It's too sloppy. I think it's still bounded by the 18th parallel of east longitude. It would be more appropriate for your country to be responsible for the east and my country to be responsible for the west. ”

If you look at the map, you can see that the 18th parallel passes east of Narvik, right on the border between Norway and Sweden. Naturally, this division is more beneficial to Germany.

Li Xiaofeng smiled quietly: "Mr. Akimovich, I must ask you to understand that the Red Navy urgently needs an overseas base facing the Atlantic Ocean that does not freeze all year round and has excellent port facilities. Narvik fits our requirements perfectly. Well, if you can cede Narvik to our country, what conditions do you have? ”

Akimovich made a mistake, for Germany. Narvik is the lifeblood of imported iron ore, and if you don't take Narvik, the Norwegian campaign is really in vain. How could the Führer accept the surrender of Narvik to the USSR?

Akimovich's eyes rolled. Immediately an idea came to mind: "Mr. Andrei, my Government has always wanted to develop relations with the Soviet Union that are beyond ordinary friendship, especially in view of the fact that the current world is dominated by bandits led by Britain and France, which greatly endangers the survival of our two countries. I believe that our two countries can form an alliance and jointly build a new international order that can fully protect the interests of our two countries......"

Akimovich was a bit of a clever man, and he felt that the only way to persuade Hitler to hand over Narvik to the Soviet Union was to pull the Soviet Union into the German chariot. If the Soviet Union could form an alliance with Germany against Britain and France, would Narvik still matter? The Soviet Union had much more mineral resources than Norway, and there was no shortage of coal, iron, and oil. If these important resources can be guaranteed from the Soviet Union, why not send Norway to the Soviet Union?

As soon as this thought came to mind, Akimovich became excited, with a mere Norwegian, no! It was a mere Narvik in exchange for the Soviet Union on the side of Germany, in exchange for the Soviet Union going to war against Britain and France, what a bargain! Presumably, Hitler would not have objected either!

Indeed, the mustache will not object, but Li Xiaofeng will object. He will also calculate this account, he has always been the only one who fooled the Germans, when will he be fooled by the Germans? And even if he was fooled by the Germans, Trotsky and Sverdlov would not have been able to pass that level.

"Of course I'm interested in the issue of an alliance between the two countries. But Mr. Akimovich, the issue is quite complicated. You have to see that Comrade Trotsky had a very bad impression of your country, and now his opinion is of great importance. It will take a considerable amount of time to convince him, and it will also require the cooperation of your country. ”

Akimovich immediately asked: "How do you need our government to cooperate?" ”

Li Xiaofeng smiled incomprehensibly and said, "I believe that your country must know how to cooperate, and it shouldn't be difficult for your country to maintain the strong aggression from before, right?"

Akimovich was stunned for a moment and asked, "You mean ......?"

However, Li Xiaofeng hid the topic and diverted the topic: "Let's continue to talk about Norway." How, apart from forming an alliance, can your country give up Narvik? ”

"The ......," replied Akimovich, who was both disappointed and a little wary, "that Narvik is of vital strategic importance to our country, and that we have paid a considerable price to occupy it. If you don't have any guarantees or pay, I'm afraid it's hard to ......."

Li Xiaofeng shook his head: "The significance of Narvik to your country is nothing more than iron ore, and my country is willing to promise not to interfere with Sweden's export of iron ore to your country, and even promise that even if Sweden cuts off the supply of iron ore to your country, all the shortages of your country will be made up by the Soviet Union." What do you think of this condition? ”

Akimovich was about to object, but Li Xiaofeng said: "As for the occupation of Narvik, Mr. Akimovich. Just ask. If the Red Navy had not arrived in time to the waters of Narvik before. I am afraid that your country's maritime power in Narvik has been completely wiped out by the Royal Navy. And don't be afraid to tell you that the Royal Navy has concentrated quite its forces and is ready to capture Narvik. As soon as the British decide to do so, Narvik, which is outside the combat radius of your air force, will probably change hands immediately. So, at this time you say that Narvik is already in the possession of your country, I am afraid that it is just a joke. ”

Akimovich stopped talking, because he knew very well that Li Xiaofeng was telling the truth, and Britain and France were actively preparing to intervene. With the capabilities of the Royal Navy, capturing Narvik outside the Luftwaffe's combat radius was simply a breeze!

And now, the key reason why the British have not done so is that the Red Navy has intervened. But it was unacceptable for Akimovich to admit that Germany had relied on the Red Navy's snort for Germany's lack of strength against Narvik.

After thinking about it, Akimovich really didn't have any good reason to convince Li Xiaofeng, and seeing that things were about to turn yellow, he suddenly had an idea and asked, "That's it, Mr. Andrei." If your country were to abandon Narvik, what would it cost our country? ”

When Akimovich asked. Li Xiaofeng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Speaking from the heart, Li Xiaofeng has been with the snake for a long time, but in fact, what he was waiting for is this sentence. Before, he was very worried that Akimovich's political wisdom was not enough, and he couldn't think of this, it seems that someone has finally grown a little over the years.

If Akimovich knew Li Xiaofeng's true thoughts at this time, I am afraid he would vomit blood: "The result of the emotional Lao Tzu's hard study over the years is still being played by you as a monkey?" Nima, this is too bullying! ”

Li Xiaofeng is indeed too unkind, he has been going around in circles for a long time, to put it bluntly, he just wants to extort some benefits from the Germans. Because from the very beginning, the decision of the Politburo did not excessively irritate the Germans, and with the exception of Trotsky, none of the other Grand Elders advocated the occupation of Narvik. And Li Xiaofeng's flickering is tantamount to a white wolf with empty gloves, and he doesn't pay a dime and makes the Germans come back to blood.

Li Xiaofeng pretended to be very embarrassed, and after thinking about it for a long time, he sighed: "If we give up Narvik, then our country can only establish a naval base in Tromsø." And as we all know, the conditions in Tromsø are not as good as in Narvik, and if it is to be built as a naval base, it will inevitably require a lot of financial investment, which will be a huge amount of money. Mr. Akimović, you are well aware that our finances are very tight, and this expenditure is ......"

Akimovich's face turned white, and he understood what a certain immortal meant, in fact, he wanted money. The problem is that the finances of the USSR are tight, so the finances of Germany are not tight? Germany, which was at war, was even tighter financially than the Soviet Union, so how could it have spare money to lend to the Soviet Union?

Li Xiaofeng shook his head: "It's not a loan, but my government prefers to provide free assistance." Think about it, if your country could come to our aid free of charge, Comrade Sverdlov and I would have been able to speak for the alliance between the two countries at the Politburo meeting, otherwise what would we have to convince Comrade Trotsky? ”

Akimovich stopped talking, feeling that this Nima is a pit, or a pit with one ring after another, anyway, he is speechless at this time, and his admiration for a certain immortal is like a surging river.

After a while, Akimovich smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Andrei, your request is really ...... I can't do anything about it......"

Li Xiaofeng pretended to have a very innocent expression and asked, "How can you be powerless?" Can't imagine a way? ”

Akimovich spread his hands and sighed: "At least I can't think of any way!" ”

Li Xiaofeng nodded slowly, pondered for a moment, and "suddenly" Jian said: "Your country can completely pass on this money!" The Norwegian people should have made certain sacrifices for peace, don't you think? ”

Akimovich's cheeks twitched twice, he was completely speechless at someone, and he dared to be affectionate for a long time, someone was playing Norway's idea and was ready to get a piece of the pie. After a long silence, Akimovich asked: "How much money does your country need to build a naval base?" ”

Seeing that Akimovich was hooked, Li Xiaofeng's heart blossomed, and he stretched out a slap: "If you save a little, almost 50 million pounds is enough!" ”

Akimovich scolded his mother directly in his heart, and saved a little 50 million pounds, I'll go to it, 50 million pounds to build a naval base, why don't you say 500 million pounds!

If Li Xiaofeng knew what Akimovich was thinking, he would probably reply: "You can't take out 500 million pounds!" ”

"Mr. Andrey, can we not joke. Fifty million pounds is impossible! Akimovich said with some indignation. Up to five million pounds? ”

Li Xiaofeng sneered: "What is five million pounds enough?" Mr. Akimović. Is this the traditional friendship that your country has always attached to our country? ”

Akimovich laughed and said: "But 50 million pounds is outrageous! ”

Li Xiaofeng was unmoved. Constantly emphasizing how reasonable 50 million pounds is, it is not at all, and even the Soviet government has to subsidize part of it itself to start the project.

After some bickering, in the end, both sides took a step back and sold for 20 million pounds, which is honestly a huge amount of money, and it is really more than enough to build a naval base. Especially when it comes to the fact that the USSR was completely generous. Almost nothing was paid for 20 million pounds and a large part of Norway, and the business was really profitable.

Even Yakov sighed: "You are really the most business-minded man I have ever met, even more despicable than the most treacherous Jewish profiteer." ”

For such a compliment, Li Xiaofeng really scoffed: "You also underestimate me too much, you dispatched a large number of warships, just for 20 million pounds and a little barren land, and you have to risk offending Britain and France, this is simply making money selling cabbage, and you have the heart to sell white powder!" There aren't many people like me anymore! ”

After sighing with emotion, Li Xiaofeng suddenly asked again: "Where have the dignitaries of the Norwegian government arrived?" Is the gold in the treasury safe? ”

In fact, this is the fundamental reason why Yakov feels that Li Xiaofeng is shameless. From the very beginning, a certain immortal had his eyes on the gold of the Norwegian treasury and was ready to put it in his purse. Think of poor Germans. They probably still have the idea of using the gold of the Norwegian treasury to settle their accounts, thinking that after paying 20 million pounds to the Soviet Union, there will be some surplus. Who would have thought that a certain immortal was going to take down this batch of gold, and then he would have to scrape oil on Germany.

Li Xiaofeng's shamelessness made Yakov unbearable to look at directly, but he also had to admit that the despicable someone did protect the interests of the Soviet Union to the greatest extent.

"Remind the Alpha Special Forces to keep a close eye on the movements of the Norwegian Cabinet, and if they flee to the UK, take drastic measures immediately, be sure to kill them all, and bring all the gold back home safely!"

Yakov asked again: "Do you need to inform the Military Commission and the Politburo?" ”

Li Xiaofeng shook his head and said, "No need, notify them, this matter will be over in a moment." And with Trotsky's wisdom, we will soon realize what we have done before. It's a troublemaker. ”

"What about the gold?" Yakov asked.

Li Xiaofeng thought for a while and replied: "It's still deposited in the small treasury of KGB and used as a special fee for KGB." ”

Yakov pursed his lips and said in his heart: "I'm afraid that the small treasury of the KGB is richer than the treasury!" ”

This is not bragging, under Li Xiaofeng's management, KGB is not ordinary rich, employee benefits are directly on par with the American middle class, not to mention the unprecedented abundance of funds, almost do whatever you want, buy whatever equipment you want. It was here that KGB's money was still not spent, and it began to invest a lot abroad, from NORINCO to Ambrera, from Finland to the United States.

The only thing that makes Li Xiaofeng more depressed is that this money can't see the light, if he can open up the money in KGB's small treasury openly, hehe, KGB can consider building an aircraft carrier.

Not long after Akimovich returned to Berlin, he brought good news to Li Xiaofeng, Hitler agreed to the conditions of a certain immortal, but the 20 million pounds could not be paid in one go, with a down payment of five million and the rest in five years.

If Li Xiaofeng had the final say on this matter, he would definitely not agree, in case it started in 1941 as in history, then the funds behind it would be lost. However, when the Politburo discussed this issue, Sverdlov and even Dzerzhinsky felt that it was accommodating, in fact, five million pounds was enough to build a similar naval base, and the Red Navy did not plan to really move all of them to Norway anyway, that is, to build an forward base in Tromsø to facilitate access to and from the Atlantic.

Of course, Trotsky was not satisfied with this, and in his opinion it would seriously damage the relations between the Soviet Union and England and France, and would give the whole world the false impression that the Soviet Union would be in the same league as Germany.

However, his opposition did not make waves in the Politburo, and most of the Grand Elders felt that it was a good idea to temporarily make peace with Germany, avoid an immediate showdown with Germany, and prevent Norway from falling completely into the clutches of the Nazis. To the great satisfaction of the elders, the dividing line between Soviet and German forces in Norway was set at 68 degrees 50 minutes north latitude, which was very close to Narvik, and in the event of a war with Germany, the Red Army could quickly attack Narvik and cut off the German import of iron ore.

On 20 May, the Soviet and German ambassadors concluded the Norwegian Security Treaty in Berlin, announcing that the two sides had agreed on the Norwegian question. The day after the treaty was concluded, Hitler, who felt that he had completely stabilized the Soviet Union, ordered the German army, which had long been ready for battle, to begin to implement the yellow plan...... (To be continued......)
