Chapter 179 Trading Paratroopers

ps: Falling leaves use persistence to exchange monthly support for brothers.

At the same time, the German army often used paratrooper troops and a small number of sea landing troops to bypass the British army's position and enter its rear area.Whenever this happened, the British were forced to retreat quickly, or were cut off and surrendered. From November to 11, the Allied forces began to withdraw after the last resistance in northern Norway, and the German army occupied the whole of Norway.

The German airborne assault on Denmark and Norway was the first successful airborne operation and airlift in the history of war.As many as 900 transport aircraft have established the world's first 'air bridge', and the "Condor Skyfall" is also a pioneering work.Although the SS lost 170 transport planes due to bad weather and poor airport conditions and forced landing, and the airborne troops suffered more than 1000 casualties, which cost a lot, but the whole campaign was a success.This airborne assault provided experience for the subsequent airborne operations of various countries, and countries even regarded it as a model.

……

Germany's early military victories were brilliant and earth-shattering. They directly focused on the world, and looked at the Germans cautiously, for fear that they would accidentally provoke this devil, so when Germany was in a very short period Within a short period of time, after the lightning-like occupation of Denmark and Norway, all countries in the world chose to remain silent, and no country said a word for Denmark and Norway.

Both Britain and France have chosen to remain silent, and other small countries will not jump out to provoke the Germans. As long as the Germans do not come to "blitz" themselves, they will be thankful, and they dare to uphold justice.The world of World War II was a world where the weak preyed on the strong. Beating and being beaten depended on the strength of one's own country.

Inside the headquarters of the "Wessel Exercise".Zhang Jun is fighting the fox on this battlefield with Rommel.Political idiots discuss how to poach the Wehrmacht.Now there are only 7 paratroopers in Germany in the world.There are a total of 7 paratrooper divisions, and the three paratrooper divisions borrowed by Zhang Jun from the Wehrmacht have been trained in actual combat. Since the Wehrmacht has lent these three divisions to Zhang Jun's SS, will Zhang Jun return them to the Wehrmacht?Who is a stupid pig? Zhang Jun doesn't want to be a stupid pig. There are more than 3 elite paratroopers who have experienced actual combat.Zhang Jun had no time to train his own paratroopers, so Zhang Jun would never return the three paratrooper divisions he got to the National Defense Forces anyway.

The problem is that the grandsons of the Wehrmacht will never do it. Unless Zhang Jun offers enough benefits, it is possible for the Wehrmacht to agree to transfer the paratrooper division to the SS. Does Zhang Jun have such "benefits" for the grandsons of the Wehrmacht?Of course, Denmark and Norway are generous gifts from Zhang Jun to the National Defense Forces. The SS already has Poland, which is enough for the SS to develop. If Denmark and Norway are forcibly included in the SS.It will inevitably cause a fierce backlash from the National Defense Forces.

Zhang Jun did not have the will to clash violently with the Wehrmacht, which was a disaster for Germany.The interests must be divided, so that some competitive relations between the Wehrmacht and the SS can be resolved.

"My deputy commander, what do you think of how our paratroopers are used this time?"

At this time, Rommel was also very high-spirited, a little bit lonely in his excitement, and then said to Zhang Jun with regret:

"Commander, in this Wiesel exercise, the commander has used the paratroopers to the extreme, and at the same time has achieved unparalleled brilliant achievements. It seems that the role of this paratrooper is to cooperate with our super blitzkrieg, so the power of our super blitzkrieg will have Unprecedented attack power, unfortunately, those three elite paratrooper divisions belong to the National Defense Forces, we can't intercept them, hey... what a pity."

"Hehe... my deputy commander, you seem to be very disappointed in what you said. I said that we can keep the three paratrooper divisions. Do you believe me?"

"Ah!!! Commander, it would be great if you could intercept the three paratrooper divisions, but the Wehrmacht might not be willing."

Zhang Jun saw that Rommel hadn't enlightened yet, so he had no choice but to tell Rommel directly:

"My deputy commander!!! Let's use Denmark and Norway to exchange the three paratrooper divisions of the Wehrmacht. In any case, the Wehrmacht has taken advantage of it, and our SS has suffered a lot. In fact, we are the party. The Guards can't be so greedy and take all the benefits in their arms. We must give up some important benefits to the Wehrmacht, so that we in Germany may not have a situation of fierce competition between the Wehrmacht and the SS. Understand? We are clear Give the benefits to the Wehrmacht, and the Wehrmacht should show something, just give the paratrooper division we borrowed to the SS, my deputy commander, do you think the grandsons of the Wehrmacht can withstand such a temptation? "

"No, the Wehrmacht will definitely change."

"That's not resolved. Our battlefield is in the Soviet Union. What do we want Denmark and Norway to do? Now these two countries are tasteless to the SS. It's tasteless to eat, and it's a pity to discard them. Let's exchange for something useful to the SS. That’s value for money.”

……

Zhang Jun's message soon reached the German Ministry of Defense, and Marshal Blumberg did not dare to make up his mind. The Wehrmacht and the SS are already in a competitive relationship. This is related to the future power distribution of the Wehrmacht in Germany. The main armed forces, the positions of the Minister of Defense, including Zhang, the Chief of Staff of the Command, will change hands.

Head of State Blumberg really didn't dare to decide such a big matter privately, so he quickly called Marshal Keitel, as well as other commanders-in-chief of the Army, Navy and Air Force, Army Commander-in-Chief Walter, Navy Commander-in-Chief Raeder, and Air Force Commander-in-Chief Ritter The five of us found a small conference room, closed the door and started to discuss in secret.

"Everyone, take a look at this telegram. It's from that son-of-a-bitch Zhang Jun of the SS. He wants to hand over the control of Denmark and Norway to our Wehrmacht. It seems that this son-of-a-bitch is very knowledgeable. But the son of a bitch wants our three paratrooper divisions that he's on loan to command, so tell us what you think."

This time it was the Minister of Defense who said it first. In fact, Blumberg still admires Zhang Jun very much. Germany needs young people like Zhang Jun to be motivated. However, Blumberg wanted not to show himself in front of his colleagues. Admiring the intention of the SS, he had no choice but to take the lead in asking questions with foul language.It seems that the view of the German SS within the Wehrmacht has also changed somewhat. This is mainly because the SS's crazy record and daring to gamble their lives have made people look sideways.

"Well, we have taken advantage of this deal. The control of these two countries is very important. Resources and manpower can add to our strength. I agree to the exchange."

"Our navy also agreed to the exchange. As long as the Wehrmacht controls Denmark and Norway, our warships and submarines will have free access to the Atlantic Ocean. This is really important to the German navy."

"Since everyone agrees, then call back! Say that we are all for Germany, so we reluctantly let three paratrooper divisions join the SS."

……

Zhang Jun and the Wehrmacht are secretly dealing, while Hitler and Goebbels are busy for the sacrifice of Canaris. Hitler organized a separate memorial service for Admiral Canaris alone to commemorate and commend this man who made great contributions to Germany. Contributors, Goebbels also spared no effort to publicize the heroic deeds of Canaris to inspire the German people.Hitler also specially awarded Canaris the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Silver Oak Leaves.It can be said that Canaris is the only person who has won such an honor since Hitler came to power. Canaris' family has even received a large pension. Canaris' family can live happily.

But Canaris did not die, he was captured by the Norwegian Navy, and then the Norwegian Navy took this most valuable prisoner to England.Now the British war cabinet is happy, this is really a godsend!The Norwegian Navy actually captured the former director of the German Military Intelligence Bureau and the current commander of the High Seas Fleet. As long as Canaris is willing to cooperate with the United Kingdom, no matter what Canaris asks for, the United Kingdom will find a way to meet Canaris' requirements in exchange for The intelligence of Canaris, even if Canaris provided the spies hidden in Britain and France, this is very important information.

The question is whether Canaris is willing to betray his motherland. From the analysis of Canaris' historical behavior, Canaris did not betray Germany in the early days of World War II, but this Canaris has some anti-Hitler lists in his hands. Canaris did not report to Hitler, nor did he arrest these people. It is certain that Canaris is a spy chief who loves Germany, but he does not approve of some of Hitler's strategies. After Germany completely fell into strategic passiveness, Canaris Only then began to betray Germany.

Canaris was sent to the British Ministry of Defense, and Churchill met him immediately, but Churchill did not get any statement from Canaris. Canaris did not reject Churchill, nor did he definitely say that he would cooperate with Churchill.

In order to open the gap from Canaris, Churchill used various methods to shake Canaris a little bit. When Canaris was ready to accept the conditions offered by the British, he was about to tell the information he knew During Churchill's time, an unexpected incident changed the outcome of the whole incident.

The problem lies in the caretaker of Canaris. This guard is still very dedicated. He accompanied Canaris 24 hours a day. On November 11, Canaris, who was bored, said that he wanted to read the newspaper to relieve his boredom. The guard casually handed Canaris the newspaper he had just bought and hadn't had time to read. This newspaper published the fact that Hitler in Germany personally held a memorial service for Canaris, and Hitler awarded Canaris an honor. Wait a minute about Canaris.

Now Canaris was stunned, he would never go back to Germany... (to be continued...)
