The Third Reich in Desperation

In this case, Raeder blushed when he heard it, but Reinhardt spoke in a serious manner, and even put on a tragic tone in a serious manner!

Of course you are not afraid, can Denmark have 50 divisions!It's obviously picking soft persimmons, so you still have reason?

As far as the current five divisions in Denmark are all short-staffed, what are you talking about bullying Germany? !

Seeing that Raeder did not respond to his generous statement, Reinhardt touched his head, sat down again and said calmly: "Let's do this now. I asked Ribbentrop to submit a protest to the League of Nations, asking Denmark to They complemented the invasions of Schleswig-Holstein and Rohenburg."

Licking his tongue, Reinhardt looked at Raedel with a smirk on his face: "This matter has dragged on for more than 70 years, so ask them to compensate 700 tons of gold."

700 tons of gold?You can't have so many if you beat Denmark down. How can others get it? !

With a smile, Reinhardt gave a brief explanation to the embarrassed Raedel: "If they don't repent and don't want to make up for our losses, then we will retaliate against them by force. Anyway, we have given them in advance. Their opportunity, according to an old Eastern saying, this is called courtesy before soldiers."

"How is it? What's my suggestion? Is there a sense of strict logic and reasonableness?" Reinhardt stared at Reidel expectantly.

As the vortex center of this international competition, the two home countries on the Navia Peninsula are getting more and more restless.

In Norway, a country that borders Sweden to the east and the Atlantic Ocean to the west, is a self-proclaimed power in the Nordic region.

After receiving the "excuse" request from the United Kingdom, King Haakon VII of Norway immediately convened high-level military officials in Oslo and held an important military discussion meeting.

"The British are going to drive their troops into our territory. Do they think we are a colony of the British Empire? Come whenever you want, as if we are easy to bully!" An ignorant Norwegian royal family member angrily said.

"Ali, don't be arrogant!" The king gave his younger brother a white look: "Britain is a superpower, and it has always liked to intervene in wars in major territories. It supports pro-British forces, influences the regional situation, and builds overseas military bases everywhere. Less?! Both are island countries, but in terms of strength, our Norway is less than one percent of theirs, what can we do to stop them?"

"Then we can't let them bully us." Ali was indignant, clenched his fists and bowed his head, saying, "Norway is an independent country, why should they...why tell us what to do... ..”

Sitting in the middle of the conference room, Quisling, who has become the Minister of Armed Forces with secret funding from Germany, calmed down his thoughts silently.

If he waited until the British army landed on Norwegian territory, his plan to help the German occupation would mostly fail.If the pro-British faction in the country takes the opportunity to rise up, he, the representative figure who has been marked as the leader of the pro-German faction, will be farther and farther away from the center of power!

No, we must not let the situation develop to that point!Although he doesn't know when the German head of state will be able to arrange a meeting with him in the future, Quisling is sure that what he has to do now is to do his best to prevent the British army from landing on Norwegian soil.

Ali just made a big statement like venting, and Quisling immediately answered calmly: "The German head of state once said a word, but if a nation succumbs to foreign aggression, that nation should not exist. We Norwegians, Will not give in."

Quisling's words seemed to be encouraging everyone present.But after thinking about it carefully, it is not difficult to find that the point he wants to express in this sentence is not the sentence of unwillingness to give in, but the "the German head of state said it."

When mentioning Germany at this time, what exactly does he want to express?

"Okay, Quisling. Just say what you want to say, and we will listen carefully." As the king, Haakon VII knocked on the table, motioning for Quisling to continue talking.

After being signaled by the king, Quisling nodded with a smile: "It's very simple. I have already talked to the German ambassador. The Germans promised us that once Norway's neutrality is in crisis, they will do everything in their power to help us maintain it, even Forced assistance is not ruled out."

"When did you contact the Germans behind the back of the government?" Minister Koch jumped up from the bench excitedly, pointed at Quisling's nose and said, "Tell me! Are you secretly colluding with the Germans!"

Kochs is a smart person, at least he is much smarter than people like Quisling who rely on German aid for their positions.In the words that Quisling blurted out in a hurry, he immediately heard something wrong.

Although it now seems that Quisling is contacting the Germans to ease the crisis of the British invasion.But think about it the other way around, if there is no crisis brought by the British, what will be the consequences of his behavior of contacting Germany in private?

Anyway, his real reason will never be as noble as it seems now! .

Main text Chapter 237 Competing for Navia (Supplementary)

In the Finnish taiga, a ray of sunlight shines through the branches on the thick snow, and for the creatures of this land, it is the beginning of another day.

"Crack, snap, snap"

The gunshots echoed in the dense forest, crisp and rhythmic.

This is Simon testing the gun, since he got the gun yesterday he has carefully disassembled it, wiped all the parts with a linen cloth and put in the best low freezing point gun oil he could find .

By the time he finished this work, it was already dark.After all, the winter night in Finland comes early and goes late.

Therefore, Simon simply chose to wake up early after a good night's rest, picked up the new version of the sniper rifle by his side, and found an open space to start testing.

But when Simon pulled the trigger and pushed the bullet into the chamber, she noticed the difference in this rifle!

Compared with the weapons he used in the past, its bolt movement is simply too smooth, so smooth!

Regardless of too much emotion, Simon eagerly raised his gun and aimed at a birch tree 500 meters away.

This birch tree was too conspicuous among a group of coniferous trees, so it became a natural target for Simon.

The new gun has been calibrated when it leaves the factory, and it can be tested directly.Coupled with the Zeiss 8x scope, Simon can easily see his target clearly.

After pressing the crosshairs to the center of the tree trunk, Simon slowly adjusted his breathing, and then lightly pulled the trigger...

"Snapped!"

After a gunshot, the bullet hit the center of the tree trunk as Simon expected.

Just the first shot, and hit the target smoothly!

But in Simon's view, his first emotion was not to be proud of his high hit rate, but to calmly realize that the new guns that use 8.5mm bullets now have significantly greater recoil than the Mosin Nagant rifles that were commonly used in the past.

However, there is a thick layer of buffer rubber pad on the butt, coupled with the grip with a thumb hole, the shooting comfort is higher than that of Mosin Nagant.

Furthermore, the accuracy of this gun far exceeds any rifle he has ever seen!

The target birch tree is about 50-60 cm in diameter, which is slightly larger than the width of a human body.

Since it can accurately hit the center of the tree trunk at a distance of 500 meters, it means that when hitting someone, the difficulty will definitely not increase too much.

At this distance, it is already difficult for other rifles to guarantee accuracy.

As Simon continued to test fire and increased the distance, the gun still maintained good accuracy.

As for what Hans said about hitting the head at 800 meters and hitting the chest at 1000 meters, Simon felt that he should be really sure to do it.

At the same time, he also found another unique feature of the special 8.5mm bullet used in this gun—one is that the ballistic trajectory is very straight, unlike the Mauser 98k that German instructors love to use when shooting long-distance targets, the ballistic trajectory is obviously curved.

Another thing is that the 8.5mm bullet has a high initial velocity and a good storage speed. It is easier to hit a long-distance moving target, and it is less likely to be affected by crosswinds.

At the same time, the better storage speed and the heavy warhead also ensure the lethality beyond a kilometer. As a sniper, Simon likes this kind of gun instantly!

Speaking of which, the origin of this gun is also quite interesting.

A few years ago, Reinhardt ordered Mauser's designers to make a semi-automatic rifle to augment the firepower of infantry squads.

After that, Mauser quickly developed a sample gun and notified the head of state.

Originally, the follow-up work of this kind of thing didn't need to be watched by the head of state in person, but Reinhardt had never touched a gun in his previous life, and there were not many opportunities to shoot a gun in this life, especially after becoming the head of state!

In order not to miss such a good opportunity, the enthusiastic head of state brought a group of cronies and a company of SS guards to the Mauser company in a mighty way, which shocked everyone in the company.

If you ask carefully, the motivation of the head of state to mobilize the crowd is actually "playing with guns".
