The Third Reich in Desperation

Ross nodded and replied seriously: "Yes, the Soviet government may soon annex the three Baltic countries. Once they succeed in annexing, this will also pose a threat to our national defense."

"We are about to fight with Britain and France. Wouldn't it be a good thing to have a few small countries to help distract the Soviet Union?" Reinhardt waved his hand and said, "When they finish annexing those small countries, we should also finish cleaning them up." France. At that time, the Soviet Union will only have one more attack position that threatens us, but what we will lose is a major enemy in the entire west, and a large number of defense forces that need to be paid for it.”

Rose looked at Reinhardt strangely.how?The head of state actually thinks that the time it takes for the empire to completely defeat France will be faster than the speed at which the Soviet Union annexed three small countries? !

Text Chapter 291 The Fifth Division of Norway

"Yes! We will immediately enter the first level of combat readiness! Repeat, we will immediately enter the first level of combat readiness!" On the phone, Sun Deluo reported loudly to his real boss, Quislinghui.

The Norwegian Fifth Division under Colonel Sundroh is not an elite force.If there is an encounter on the plain battlefield, they may not be able to hold on for an hour, and they will be repelled by a regiment of British troops.

However, this army with low combat effectiveness has another advantage.That is bravery, almost reckless bravery!

Sun Deluo even had a premonition that once invaded, even if he personally ordered the surrender, it is estimated that the entire division would obey the order with less than 100 people.The remaining people, even if they know that they will be defeated, will still choose to fight to the death and defend the country to the death.

With this advantage, Sun Deluo at least does not have to worry about the troops being scattered in front of a strong enemy.No matter how unreliable the combat power is, at least they will stick to their respective positions according to the original deployment.As for how long it lasts, only God knows.

However, Sun Delo has no sustenance for how long they can last.Anyway, his hole card is not to bring out this underdog by himself. As a teacher, he knows how capable the fifth division is.It was better to count on the timely arrival of the German reinforcements that Quisling had privately told him than to count on this group of waste who had never completed their training to hold the port.

At first, Sun Deluo did not really believe all that Quisling said.In his view, the Germans and the British were equally salivating over Norway.Expecting the Germans to provide selfless assistance in the event of the British invasion is like sheep expecting a tiger to protect itself from the claws of wolves.To drive away tigers and devour wolves is a strong medicine with three points of toxicity!

Although Sun Delo himself doesn't care whether the Germans or the British benefit in the end, he just wants to follow the instructions of his boss Quisling as usual.However, this does not mean that he has no basis for judgment.He judged that Germany had a greater chance of winning, so he stood so firmly behind Quisling.

As for his beginning to believe that the Germans were really on the side of Norway as friends, it was after he received actual support from Germany.

Having participated in the Finnish War, a reinforced battalion with more than 700 people was won by Quisling to the Narvik naval port where he is located.And Ma Wen, the battalion commander's adjutant, also belongs to the pro-German faction on his side.

I heard that this should have been sent to the border by a German transport plane.Along with it, there are 100 Mauser 98k rifles sent by Germany to strengthen their combat effectiveness.

On the other hand, the Germans just sent a fortress gun they captured in Denmark to the Narvik Naval Port today.Although it is a bit old, it is also a good thing with weight for Sundroh's Norwegian 5th Division.

A reinforced battalion with part of the equipment, a Danish-style fortress gun, plus a missing division under his command, the coastal defense gun of the Narvik naval port, two ironclad ships docked in the naval port, and two frigates , and two submarines.It seems that it is still very feasible to hold back the enemy troops trying to land for two to three hours and buy time for the rear to deploy defenses.

"Major Alfred, you are new here, can you comment from the perspective of a bystander and share your views on Narvik's defense level." Without going around the corner, Sun Deluo was very concerned about the restoration of the rank of major after bringing the volunteers back to China. Alfred asked.

Compared with the commanders on paper in Norway, Alfred, who was gilded on the Finnish battlefield not long ago, obviously has more experience in war.

"With all due respect, I don't think the officers and soldiers stationed in Narvik Port are actually ready for war." Alfred didn't refuse either, and took this opportunity to spit out the words that were squeezed in his heart He came out: "In each of our forts, many soldiers on duty are still lazy, and even play cards and sleep during the time on duty. This situation has seriously violated military discipline, not to mention that it is even more serious in this tense period. There shouldn't be such dereliction of duty!"

"I went out for a walk this morning." Alfred, who had opened up the chatterbox, did not intend to stop at all, and continued: "More than half of the sergeants on guard are doing things carelessly. Even while eating breakfast, he used the time of standing guard to mend his pants!"

Hearing this, Sun Deluo, the leader of the army, was already a little helpless.

What Alfred said, in fact, he already knew.He also knew that these were incorrect behaviors, but he never stopped them.Perhaps, over the years, I have indulged my subordinates to the point of arrogance.

On weekdays, I have gradually gotten used to all of this and I still don't feel much of a problem.But in the eyes of an excellent general who has just arrived, it is almost clear at a glance how many problems there are!

"The soldiers under me are a little too lazy, and I will definitely rectify them later." Sun Deluo wiped the sweat from his forehead, and replied to Alfred's accusation in embarrassment.

The 5th Division is so weak, in the final analysis, it is his teacher's fault.As the saying goes, a raging nest, the style of the army is often a direct product of certain personalities of their commanders.

"Don't wait to turn around," Alfred shook his head, and said with an ugly expression, "Please, Commander, rectify as soon as possible. Our enemy will not kindly give us time to rectify. If the enemy invades now, I am afraid that the first The 5th Division may collapse at the touch of a button..."

"Come today, it's unlikely. Today is Sunday, don't they want to have a weekend..." Before Sun Deluo could finish speaking, two loud explosions interrupted his happiness desire.

"Boom! Boom!"

Poor Sun Delo, he was slapped in the face as soon as he spoke.

Obviously, Churchill was not as stupid as Sundro thought, would be so stupid as to give the troops on mission a weekend.

"Enemy attack!" The screams of soldiers came from outside the window of Sundro's office: "The iron-clad ships Edsford and Notch were sunk by the British...God! Ours The warships were all covered by the bombardment of the British fleet."

Sun Delo, who is a pro-German faction, does not doubt that the identity of the attacker at this moment is British.

After all, if the Germans want to land, they only need to ask Quisling to say hello, and he, Sun Delo, will give the order to let them go.But now, as soon as the other party came up, they launched a round of malicious bombardment in a surprise attack, obviously not prepared to negotiate.

"The British are attacking...they are attacking..." Sun Deluo repeated these words a little dullly, trying to relieve the tension in his heart.

But his nervousness has not been relieved for a long time, so he has never issued orders and issued response instructions like a commander.

In the end, Major Alfred, who was on the side, was the first to react, and sent an order to several other officers in the office on behalf of Sun Deluo: "Convey the order immediately, let the garrison personnel of each battery reset immediately, and let the officers and soldiers of the 5th Division immediately Start gathering. Send a message to Oslo at the same time, requesting reinforcements!"

"Okay...Major." Since they didn't wait for the division commander's order for a long time, several officers consciously obeyed the command of this seemingly reliable major.

Text Chapter 292 Invaders, Britain!

"Your Majesty, the naval port of Narvik in the north has been attacked by the British army and is asking us for emergency help." Although he was attacked by the British army, Quisling was indeed proud when he reported.

Before that, as the Prime Minister of Norway, Nichols Wall did not know how many times he campaigned for the United Kingdom, saying that the United Kingdom represents the League of Nations and justice, and is definitely a country worth relying on.

Now that the news of the British invasion came, it happened to slap Niggswall, a pro-British official, in the face, proving how stupid their previous remarks were.

Justice? Can be relied on?

What the British are doing now, no matter from which point of view, it is a standard act of aggression!

If it was placed two months ago, perhaps the British government could still argue that it was borrowing aid to Norway.But today, Finland has already sued for peace with the Soviet Union and no longer needs foreign aid.

Even the excuse of being a fig leaf is gone, the British dare to send troops?!

"Could it be that the Germans colluded with the troops at the Narvik Naval Port and staged a fake scene of the British invasion?" Nigelswall still found a possibility that he could accept.

Aren't the garrisons in Narvik all your Quislings?It is not easy to get them to obey your orders and lie about military information.

Nichols Wall, who was pro-British, had always been at odds with Quisling, who had defected to Germany.

"Mr. Prime Minister's imagination is really rich. The scene you mentioned just now, did you communicate with the British?" Quisling snorted coldly, and said ironically: "It's a pity that your British master doesn't seem to listen to your rich imagination. A proposal conceived with all your strength. It appears they left you behind and launched their own invasion."

Didn't you say that I was in collusion with the Germans? Then I can also say that you are in collusion with the British!Quisling quickly found this tit-for-tat countermeasure.

"You, you, you..." Nigelswall was incoherent by Quisling's sudden counter-question: "How could I collude with the British, how could the British collude with me, this, this, this ..."

Nicholswall was old after all, and his reflexes were not as quick as Quisling's.In desperation, I couldn't find the language to refute.

"Okay!" Haakon Qishi on the side couldn't stand the embarrassment of his prime minister, and he helped him out: "The problem now is to confirm the identity of the enemy who attacked us? And immediately find out the corresponding strategy for the current situation." .”

"I don't think there is any objection to the identity of the enemy." General Olaf, who was sitting at the bottom, replied: "The garrison at Narvik Hill, apart from Colonel Sundro's fifth division, and those who have just returned from Finland, A reinforced battalion commanded by Major Alfred."

At the beginning, it was Olaf who personally appointed Major Alfred as the supreme commander of the Volunteer Battalion to Aid Finland.For Alfred's character, Olaf thinks he still has enough understanding.

Olaf did not trust Sundloh, who belonged to Quisling's pro-German faction, but he trusted Alfred's judgment.

The report of the British invasion was sent by Alfred.Based on this alone, Olaf can confirm that this matter is definitely not another trickster sent by Quisling.

"I believe Major Alfred's report, he won't even recognize the enemy at the scene!" Olaf assured Haakon again seriously.

With Olaf speaking, Nicholswall could no longer pour dirty water on Quisling.After all, General Olaf is the son of Haakon's Seventh Style, the current king of Norway. In terms of loyalty to Haakon's Seventh Style, Olaf must be number one in Norway!
