Chapter 815 (1/2)
What happened in the Far East was sent back to aegis.
Rush was attacked in the public concession and four bodyguards died on the spot. His whereabouts are unknown.
At this time, the German launched the ”white lightning” offensive, sneaking attacks on Denmark and Norway on April 9, announcing that they wanted to protect the neutral positions of the two countries.
In fact, when Britain and France asked for help from Finland, Germany had already decided on its next target, Norway.
At the beginning of the year, Churchill, a new member of the newly formed wartime cabinet, proposed that in order to restrict the development and manufacture of German industry, it should be blocked by sea.
Germany's industry relies heavily on iron ore from Sweden, which is exported through the port of Narvik in Norway and the Lule Olympics in Sweden.
The port of Narvik will not be covered with ice in winter, which can ensure a round the clock supply.
Churchill has repeatedly proposed the deployment of mine areas in Norwegian waters, which can force transport ships to deviate into the North Sea and facilitate interception by the Royal Navy.
But Chamberlain, fearing negative comments from neutral countries, rejected his proposal.
When the war broke out again, Churchill rejected it.
When Britain and France finally made up their minds to save Finland, Churchill's concerns were also taken seriously. The Allied forces planned to land in Norway and lay out minefields. After the troops crossed Sweden and entered Finland, along the way, it was just able to cut off Sweden's iron ore supply to Germany.
Britain and France did not escape the sight of the dwarf, so he threatened the two countries and would launch armed invasion once they were released.
Britain and France also wanted to put pressure on Norway and Sweden to agree to their plan, but Finland's peace bid made them lose their reason.
Feeling the plot of Britain and France to cut off the ore supply, the dwarfs, who had not paid attention to it before, had to turn their eyes again.
If Norway was attacked because of its importance, then Denmark was completely unscathed.
In fact, its existence is equivalent to ”chicken ribs.” it is tasteless to eat and a pity to abandon.
However, as a gateway to Sweden, Germany still ”reluctantly” incorporated it into its territory. It took only four hours to declare one day.
When the German army landed from Copenhagen port, before the king's royal guards fired a few shots, several bombing formations roared past in the sky.
Faced with the German Air Force's strategic decision to bomb civilians and cause panic, the old king immediately announced his surrender in exchange for autonomy in domestic affairs.
The witty old king was praised by the dwarfs. In order to recognize the old king's current affairs, the dwarf agreed to his request and treated Denmark with extreme gentleness.
Even the arrest of Danish Jews has been delayed. From the standpoint of Denmark, the old king is undoubtedly wise.
With Denmark's national strength, even if we fight with the Germans, we will only die more people in the end.
Norway is the next obvious example, and after it, the French will pay for their ignorance.

”On the other hand, there is nothing wrong with Chamberlain's policy. Appeasement can keep Britain out of the war,
allowing Germany to grow and effectively resist the Soviet Union. If the dwarf head of state has no problem here, he will not cross the Strait and fight against the British initiative.”
In the think tank office, Ben pointed to the brain and said with a smile.
