"Find a place to sit, Hans, wait a minute, I'll finish processing right here. Net△," Xu Jun leaned on the edge of his desk, flipping through a document in his hand, and saw what he hadn’t seen for a long time. The adjutant walked in, and he greeted each other happily.
"Giving this document to General Weierle means that I basically agree with the recommendations of the General Staff Office and can add these to the topics of the next regular meeting of the command." Xu Jun picked up a pen and wrote on the document. He wrote a few instructions hastily, then closed the folder and handed it to Disenhofen, who was waiting by the side.
"Yes, my head, do you need anything else."
"Bring a pot of tea, and a pot of coffee for General Hans."
"Okay, I will prepare now, my head of state, then I will retire. And your Excellency General Hans." Disenhofen nodded to the two in the room, and then left with a document. room.
"He is not just an adjutant of life anymore. I am training him to be a qualified deputy, just like you." Xu Jun walked to the sofa in the middle of the room and looked down at his abdomen.
"Look at you, now you are like a real general."
"My head, if it weren't for your guidance and teaching, I might still be just an unknown major officer." Hans stood up and respectfully saluted Xu Jun.
"Sit down, Hans, tell me how you have been during this time."
"My head of state, in fact, I am studying the advanced commander course of the Army University, hoping to make up for the lack of knowledge as soon as possible."
"This is very good. I am very pleased that you have this kind of thought. Hans, I am looking forward to you. You are my most trusted subordinate, so I will arrange you to sit in Berlin. I I hope you can grow up as soon as possible, because I will have more difficult tasks to be performed by you in the future." Xu Jun nodded to Hans, and then sat on the opposite sofa.
"The youngest commander of the Berlin garrison in history. In fact, your performance is obvious to all. Your colleagues in the high command have affirmed your ability to work. I have discussed with Marshal Brausic, and I will wait until the formal signing with France is completed. The final battle agreement. There will be a large number of officers who will be promoted as a result. I put your name on the promotion list. Maybe in a few weeks we should call you Lieutenant General Hans." Xu Jun smiled and teased himself. He was really relieved by Hans' performance during this period of confidant.
The leapfrog promotion of Hans became a testament to the farsightedness of the head of state. The great head of state has a unique vision of knowing people and benevolent, and there are many new talents around him, giving the old Junker officers who think they are irreplaceable a lot pressure. Hans proved with facts that he can become a qualified German general, especially in terms of character and loyalty, this man is completely impeccable.
"Follow your instructions. My head, we have conducted dozens of destructive tests on the new type of field fortification modules. This time I brought the drawings you requested." Hans picked up and leaned on the sofa. Next to the briefcase, I took out a stack of documents from it and placed it on the coffee table.
"Oh, I'll look at these later. What is the effect of the assembly of the precast cement components and whether it is difficult to transport." Xu Jun then picked up a document and flipped through it, then put it back on the desktop.
"My head, follow your orders. All components are strictly limited in weight and size, and can be transported by trains and trucks. These standardized components are assembled very tightly and firmly. It will greatly improve our construction. I think these modules and building standards can already be promoted to the whole army.” Hans replied respectfully.
"We have to build thousands of such standard defensive fortifications on the border within a year, and the fortifications built in the depths are several times more than this. This huge project requires investment of manpower and material resources. It will be an astronomical figure. During this period of time, we have to expand the army and replace with new weapons and equipment, and the government’s financial burden will be heavy.
The German people shoulder the mission of the creator of history and are on the path of justice in the Third Reich. Countless enemies must be erected. The German people must know that they are not as safe as they thought. The great German Empire is still surrounded by enemies at home and abroad.
Although we have won a glorious victory, our enemy has not been completely defeated. Countless sinister villains are hiding in the dark and watching the empire with their hateful eyes. They wait for us to relax, and then they can crawl out of those dirty ditches and bite our throats and drain our blood.
In order to defend our great cause and our construction achievements, we must strengthen our national strength and strengthen our armed forces. The German people, especially Germans, must have a clear understanding of this issue. "Xu Jun sat with his legs crossed, his elbows leaning against the armrest of the sofa, he looked at his subordinates deeply, and gave a passionate speech.
"For the sacred and great cause, for the empire, for you, my head of state, I swear to defend these and I am willing to contribute everything I have, even my life. You can trust my determination and my loyalty With an excited expression on his face, Hans declared his oath loudly to Xu Jun. This pure German was once again shocked by the prospects displayed by the head of state, and willingly bowed to the feet of the dictator.
At this time, the door of the room was knocked, and after receiving Xu Jun's response, Disenhofen pushed a food delivery truck into the room, followed by Weierle with a beaming face.
"Ah, Hans, I can't find you after dinner, so you are at the Führer's place." Weierle first greeted Hans enthusiastically.
"I have brought a good news, my head of state. Before the announcement, I would like to congratulate you on another beautiful victory, my head of state." The chief of staff turned and bowed to Xu Jun.
"Sit, Weierle, what news makes you so happy." Xu Jun waved at Weierle and asked curiously.
"Thank you, my head of state, just now the commander sent a telegram. We finally caught the members of the Norwegian royal family. Now all the troubles in the north have been solved." Weierle took the tea cup handed over by Disenhofen. , Said to Xu Jun with a smile.
"All?" Hans asked curiously.
"Of course it is all, none of them can escape." Weierle finished speaking proudly, and took a sip of tea with his teacup cautiously.
After Germany fully invaded Norway, the Norwegian royal family disappeared. Even though the Germans turned that icy country upside down, they didn't find the slightest trace. Afterwards, the German side always suspected that the Norwegian royal family had fled to the United Kingdom, but the British government has never announced the news in this regard. This should have been news that boosted morale, and it could also be used to combat German rule and occupation in Norway. The British had no reason to hide this "victory" from home and abroad.
Haakorn VII and his royal family members seem to have disappeared from the world. At the same time, a large number of government officials and huge reserves of gold followed him. When the Germans occupied Norway for half a month. Some government officials came out of their hiding places one after another. They lacked survival materials and funds, and they no longer have the ability to hide.
Afterwards, the Germans asked them if they knew the whereabouts of the royal family. Everyone agreed in unison. They fled with the royal family to Hamar, where they parted ways and went their separate ways. Finally, one of their attendants said that they were transporting. The truck of the royal family and the treasure is heading east, passing through the vast mountain ridge. Behind is the Swedish border.
At that time, the French campaign had come to an end, and the British army and navy broke down in Dunkirk. The British are busy with the aftermath at this time, and seem to have no time and energy to manage the life and death of the group of Norwegian officials.
As a result, all the originally planned escape plans were turned into waste paper. The officials waited for half a month, eager to see through the coast, but could not wait for the warship sent to carry them in the legend.
These officials really can’t afford to spend any more. Those who don’t have to do production only rely on some of the belongings they carry with them when they flee. They are still unwilling to give up their original quality of life at this time, accustomed to luxury. So he quickly fell into a dilemma in life. At this time, those pampered officials. Don't say anything with ambition and ambition to restore the kingdom, they can't even guarantee their own survival.
The government and the royal family’s abandonment of the nationals and escape was deliberately promoted by the Germans, coupled with the incitement of some local Norwegian organizations, and was finally rejected by most Norwegians. These officials are now in a situation where everyone is clamoring and beating, and they don't even dare to reveal their identity on weekdays, let alone seek help from people.
Finally someone can't stand it anymore. Out of the hidden residence and surrendered to the German garrison, the official revealed his identity and demanded corresponding treatment. The German didn't seem to understand the situation yet, and even agreed to his request. He was placed under house arrest in a hotel, and the Germans gave him a large degree of preferential treatment. The role of role models is endless. Now that we have a good start, the following problems can be easily solved. Norwegian government officials shyly surrendered to the German army. The identity of the Norwegian government reappeared in front of the world. .
At this time, there is nothing to stop the Norwegians from despising these politicians. Didn’t they go overseas to organize a government in exile? It also swept away all the reserve funds and foreign exchange in the bank. I originally felt that although these people were a little shameless, they were all men, but it turned out that the whole group was still hiding in the country. What can you expect from this group of waste, they can't even run away.
Then the old question reappeared, where is King Hakon and his money now hiding.
The German side is undergoing a peak match at this time, and the two old and new heads of state have tried their best to kill each other. The Norwegian garrison was once in command chaos. When the dust settled, everyone's attention was again on the new head of state's enthronement and the cleansing of the old forces. There is no more leisure to look for the royal family.
In the end, it was discovered that some of the clues turned out to be the German Navy, which has a lot to do with Xu Jun. Remember the British Royal Navy cruiser Devonshire that was captured by your Excellency the head of state. The German navy's intelligence agency conducted a strict interrogation of these captured British soldiers afterwards. The result of the interrogation surprised the Germans. It turned out that this small fleet had a secret mission.
They were ordered to go to a deserted fishing village on the Norwegian coast. The captain was told that there was a group of important supplies and several important personnel to board the ship secretly. To this end, the British government also sent a small group of special forces soldiers to complete the safety and security work of the land transfer. Lieutenant Colonel Sanders who led the team also received a secret order issued by Churchill. Once there is a change in the transportation, the passengers must be dealt with as a last resort, and they will not be allowed to fall into the hands of the Germans anyway.
The navy’s intelligence agency reported the situation to the Eye of Odin. Since the French campaign was relaunched at this time and the intelligence agency’s workload was heavy, further investigation into this matter was postponed.
It wasn't until the end of the French campaign and after the occupation of Paris that it was reactivated. An elite German special force was sent to the fishing village reported in the intelligence. As expected, people had already gone to the building. However, the experienced officers found many important clues and information there, and the goal was straightforward. Refers to the Norwegian royal family that has disappeared for a long time.
They found no less than 30 signs of adult activities, and also found a large number of tire marks on trucks and luxury cars. The tire marks showed that the cargo on these trucks was very heavy. They also found some living things. Judging from the discarded daily use and rubbish, women and children were also carried in the team. There are clear emblems of the Norwegian royal family on some wrapping papers and abandoned objects, and all the clues are gathered, and the identity of this team is already clear.
The special forces immediately sent a report to the headquarters and requested more support. The Eye of Odin also immediately reported the findings of the investigation team to Xu Jun. Xu Jun ordered all necessary means to be used to capture these royal family members alive. The importance of Norway is unquestionable for Germany. The Norwegian royal family has supreme influence in this country. As long as the king and his family are controlled in their hands, no power can make trouble in that northern territory. .
German special forces began a long and arduous pursuit. Many times, due to circumstances and time, the clues would suddenly be cut off. The special forces soldiers completely relied on their tenacity and tenacity to search repeatedly in the mountains of Norway until they re Get new clues.
The route of the Norwegian royal family is very weird~IndoMTL.com~ It seems that the guy who led the way has lost a clear destination. They just circled back and forth in the mountains at a loss, and only approached the town when there is a shortage of fuel or food. After receiving new supplies, he immediately disappeared in the mountains.
These people have very sufficient funds. They even pay directly with gold bars to buy bacon and milk from the villagers. The German special forces are struggling to pursue them in their footsteps, not knowing how many difficulties and obstacles they have endured along the way, and finally completed their mission today.
The Norwegian royal family was also in bad luck. It rushed into the exercise area of a German mountain division that was training in the frigid zone. The special forces that followed hurriedly called for the cooperation of the friendly forces and finally blocked the group of cunning fugitives. In a valley, the two sides showed considerable restraint at the last moment. The Norwegian royal family and their loyal attendants were arrested together. No one was injured in this incident, and no shot was fired during the entire process.
After receiving the telegram from Odin's Eye, Weierle couldn't wait to report the good news to Xu Jun. When Germany made a significant breakthrough in the Mediterranean, he also completely took Norway in his hands.
