Glorious Mission 1937

During this time, Chen Feng has been busy fighting against Japan and emigrating, apparently neglecting to pay attention to the international situation. In the past two months, the situation in Europe has been escalating.Just three days after Chen Feng signed the temporary armistice agreement with Japan, another major event happened in Europe—Germany invaded Denmark and Norway.

Germany did not stop its aggression after occupying Poland. Out of serious dissatisfaction with the Treaty of Versailles, the Germans aimed to rise strongly, and their ultimate goals were Britain and France.But Hitler still has some doubts about the strength of Britain and France. He doesn't know whether the combat effectiveness of the British and French troops has made great progress compared with World War I.At the same time, Hitler was not very confident in the strength of the German Wehrmacht. He was very worried that his path to divine rise would be tortuous like His Majesty William.

So he wanted to conduct another actual combat exercise before attacking Britain and France. He wanted to see if his army was as brave and effective as the generals said, so a combat plan called "Wessel Exercise" appeared in Hitler's desk.

The "Wessel Exercise" was another actual military exercise conducted by Germany before attacking Britain and France, and this time the ambitious Hitler aimed at Denmark and Norway in Northern Europe.The reason why Hitler sent troops to Denmark and Norway was to test the combat effectiveness of the troops on the one hand, and at the same time to test the intention of Britain and France.The most important thing is that the geographical location of Denmark and Norway made Hitler salivate. Denmark is located between the Baltic Sea and the North Sea, choking the key sea traffic.Norway is located in the northwest of Scandinavia, bordering the Barents Sea to the north.With the Atlantic Ocean in the west and the North Sea in the south, its strategic position is very important.

As long as Germany occupies these two countries, it can break the blockade of the German navy by Britain and France, enable German ships to enter the North Sea and the Atlantic Ocean unimpeded, and establish a naval base on the west coast of Norway to limit the actions of the British Navy. The northern flank of the German attack on Western Europe was secured.This will also enable Sweden to supply iron ore to Germany through the port of Narvik in northern Norway and be transported to Germany through the Norwegian sea.Germany consumes 1500 million tons of iron ore every year, of which 1100 million tons are imported from Sweden via Norway.

In October 1939, Germany began preparations for the invasion.Hitler appointed Admiral Falkenhorst as commander-in-chief of the German invasion forces.Follow the invasion plan "Wessel Maneuver".The German Army adopted fraudulent and surprise means to cross the border of Denmark and Germany to occupy Denmark. At the same time, it used landing troops and airborne troops to seize important ports and airports in Norway, and then launched an attack on the interior.Occupy the entire territory of Norway; then use aviation to deal with the British and French navies.Avoid large-scale engagements at sea.

这一战德军集中了7个步兵师、1个摩托化旅及若干独立坦克营、摩托化营共14万人。以1个加强步兵师和警察师占领丹麦，其余兵力用以夺占挪威，并以1300架飞机及234艘舰艇支援和保障地面部队行动。

January 1940, 1.In the name of preventing the invasion of Britain and France and defending the neutrality of Denmark and Norway by force, Germany suddenly launched a war.The German airborne troops launched simultaneous airborne assaults on four airports in Denmark and Norway in three routes.The German commando went straight to the airport on both sides of Aalborg, Denmark and the Voldingburg Bridge. At 1:3, the Junker-4 transport plane of the 5th Squadron of the 30st Special Mission Bomber Aviation Regiment, carrying the 1th Company of the 8st Airborne Regiment, took off from Utaisen Airport and flew to Denmark.The sudden attack by the German paratroopers caught the Danish army by surprise. The white troops at two important Danish airports surrendered without any resistance. The German army easily captured these two important airports.Immediately afterwards, the 52th Infantry Regiment of the German Army landed here, and these two airports became the transfer points for the German Army to transport troops and supplies to Norway by air.

Meanwhile, the other Junkers of No. 8 Squadron crossed the Baltic Sea all the way to the Vördingburg Bridge. At 6:15, Captain Glick, the commander-in-chief responsible for capturing the bridge, issued a parachute signal, and within seconds the cabin became empty.The white parachute fluttered down towards the vicinity of the Vördingburg Bridge.

When the German paratroopers landed, there was no sound of guns or sirens on the ground. It seemed that this area was still sleeping in a dream of peace.The German paratroopers rushed into the Danish position with only their pistols.Passing in front of the terrified sentries with their hands raised, they penetrated deep and disarmed the bridge garrison within minutes. A squad of paratroopers rode the seized bicycles and rushed to the bridge, and the guards guarding the bridge surrendered without firing a single shot.Meanwhile, German landing forces landed on Zealand, Funen and Falster.Ground forces invading Denmark across the Danish border met no resistance.The German army quickly advanced to the interior of Denmark and entered the capital Copenhagen in one fell swoop.Only four hours into the war, Denmark surrendered.

Germany's sudden attack on Denmark and Denmark's quick surrender completely shocked the European countries. Although Denmark has never been considered a big and powerful country, it is still a country after all. Before the war, Denmark had 2 infantry divisions and more than 2 troops. tons of naval ships, even if the Germans killed more than 2 pigs, it would take more than 4 hours. However, Denmark surrendered under the stunned eyes of all Europeans.

In fact, it is no wonder that Denmark is only a small country with weak defense forces.Although Denmark has two infantry divisions and 2 tons of naval ships, after signing a non-aggression treaty with Germany in 1935, Denmark believed that strengthening its combat readiness would arouse suspicion in Germany, so it did not prepare for war. When it comes, Denmark can only surrender.

Germany's attack on Denmark shocked the Europeans, and it also shocked Chen Feng.Chen Feng remembered very clearly that the time when Germany attacked Denmark was far earlier in history.The Germans actually invaded Northern Europe more than four months in advance, which shows that the Germans are ready for war and can declare war on Britain at any time.

In fact, what Chen Feng didn't know was that the reason why Germany was ready for war so quickly was his "credit".Fighting a war is to fight the economy and comprehensive national strength. If there is no money, there is no war. The German economy has recovered well. By cooperating with Chen Feng to buy and sell penicillin drugs, they have earned a lot of marks, which has greatly enriched Germany's finances.

In addition, a large number of Jews were immigrated to China, which not only relieved the internal worries in Germany, but also bulged up the pockets of the German government again.Don't think that Hitler can agree to the relocation of Jews to China, so he will naively think that those Jewish capitals can also reach China.Hitler wanted to achieve the ideal of a strong rise in Germany, and it was not enough to make money by buying and selling drugs, and the fastest way to get money was plunder and robbery, so Hitler targeted the robbery on the Jews who had a lot of money.

There is a lot of history about the looting of the Jews, and their money will be deprived at any time.This is the continuation of the tradition of persecuting the Jews in European history. In the Middle Ages, the European church believed that usury was a sin. However, even the world under the rule of the church needed financial activities such as borrowing and lending. "Evil" activities are entrusted to the Jews.

Because, anyway, the Jews are inherently "sinful", allowing them to engage in such evil financial activities, the church not only maintains its own nobility, but also maintains the needs of society.Just like in Shakespeare's play "The Merchant of Venice", a man named Shylock is depicted.Here is a Jew, a moneylender, a usurer, cruel and greedy.Fiction of the period is often the best reflection of the social mentality of the time.

For the Jews, property deprivation is already a normal thing. They are used to it. There have been too many such things in history.For example, during the Crusades, the church issued an order in order to recruit more crusaders: If those who participated in the Crusades owed money to the Jews, they would be forgiven and there was no need to pay them back.For another example, the King of Spain ordered the expulsion of the Jews in 1492, and at the same time ordered that the Jews who left the country were not allowed to carry gold, but could only carry a donkey and a certain amount of food.As a result, the expelled Jews had to exchange gold for donkeys and grain, causing the prices of donkeys and grain to soar.The property of the Jewish people was taken away as a whole, without any reason.

Because the Jews are exploited by all parties, the Jewish business must make enough huge profits and be greedy enough, and this result will continue to lead to greater resentment against the Jews in the society, and become the target of the church and the rulers to transfer social conflicts , so the hatred of the rich is motivated by profound interests behind it, and there are historical lessons behind the charity of the rich in the West.

Hitler took advantage of this social mentality to openly and completely expelled the Jews from Europe. Before making a deal with Chen Feng, he ordered the German military officer in charge of transporting the Jews to conduct a body search of all Jews. No gold or silver items were allowed to be carried, and jewelry was also prohibited. Each Jew is only allowed to carry no more than 30 flatbreads and 2 cans of water.

In this way, Hitler plundered the wealth of millions of Jews, and soon the purses of the Jews were empty, while the treasury of Germany was full.It also further strengthened Germany's economic strength and had the capital to launch a war in advance.

Chen Feng didn't think of this, but even if he thought of it, he didn't take it seriously. He didn't think it was a crime. On the contrary, Germany's economic strength increased, and the blow to Britain, France, the Soviet Union and other countries would be greater. Whoever wins is also a miserable victory.It would be even better if Germany could wipe out Britain, France and the Soviet Union. This would greatly reduce the difficulty for him to complete the task. Therefore, knowing that trading with the Germans would increase Germany's national strength, Chen Feng still cooperated with the Germans as always. (To be continued..)
