Chapter 239 Competing for Navia (End)

In fact, Quisling was quite decent for a long time.

In 1908, he graduated from the Norwegian Military Academy with the first grade in his class, and was directly transferred to the field artillery unit as a lieutenant after graduation.

Such achievements and start made Quisling's first half of his life smooth and he was promoted step by step.

When he was less than 30 years old, he was awarded the Order of the British Empire by the British government for privately taking care of British interests.

During the same period, he was also publicly named and praised by the Soviet government for his goodwill behavior towards Soviet Russia.

But when he recommended himself to the Communist International and asked to form the Norwegian Red Guard, he was rejected.

After that, he immediately went from one extreme to the other, learned Reinhardt's methods and theories, and established the Norwegian "National Unity Party".

But this idiot only learned the superficial knowledge, but not the essence!

Reinhardt's Socialist Workers Party was founded in an environment where the country was humiliated, its territory was occupied, and its territory was fragmented.

In Germany, where the people are eager to get out of the desperate situation, Reinhardt's appearance can almost be said to be a blessing to the people. But in the rich and peaceful Norway, this theory is completely unworkable.

Contrary to Reinhardt's leadership of the Socialist Workers' Party, which swept the country, Quisling's "National Unity Party" could not even get a single seat in the parliament, let alone increase its influence.

Now, if Quisling wants to climb to a higher position, the only way to go is a coup. But the direct force he holds in his hands is only a reduced division in the hands of Narvik garrison commander Sundero.

In addition, there are more than 300 members of the Norwegian armed stormtroopers. This manpower is not even one-third of the other troops under Haakon VII. It is not easy to achieve a coup.

Furthermore, once a coup fails, your head will be lost!

In order to greatly increase the probability of success, Quisling can only rely on the power of a big country like Germany. Even if he is shamed by others and criticized by thousands of people, he must seize the opportunity and become the kind of master he dreams of!

"You will regret it!" Quisling, who was ostracized by everyone, stood up angrily and said, "Without the Germans helping us, Norway will become the next British colony sooner or later."

Seeing that no one paid attention to him, Quisling could only pretend to be reserved and straighten his collar, and then said to himself guiltily: "Since everyone has their own opinions, I don't need to stay any longer. Let's each do our own thing and let the results speak for itself.

"

The king watched silently as Quisling finished his performance, and then watched the clown walk out of the conference room door without saying a word.

"Bah, what a shameless dog!" Secretary Koch, who has always been polite and civilized, actually cursed in disgust.

"This kind of person should not be invited to today's meeting!"

"If I were a German official, I would never support such a fool to come to power, and such a person would not be remembered at all."

.......

Officials vented their dissatisfaction and released pent-up emotions.

"Actually...the German government has secretly contacted our intelligence department early this morning and expressed its willingness to provide us with German weapons and equipment for an infantry division." A head of the intelligence department wearing thick glasses swallowed

After swallowing his saliva, he added after everyone calmed down a little: "Germany did not even put forward any excessive conditions, and also allowed us to trade directly with iron ore resources of the same value."

"They didn't state the conditions, such as requiring us to provide a port and allow German troops to enter our country?" Minister Koch's eyes widened and he looked at the head of the Intelligence Department in confusion.

"No!" The person in charge nodded with certainty, meeting Koch's eyes and said: "Germany has made it clear that they will never set foot on our soil without our explicit request. And they do not need the Norwegian government.

Allying with the German government, we only hope that Norway can continue to remain neutral. As for the weapons sold, we can send transport ships to the port of Danzig for shipment."

Koch looked at the king in surprise and found that the other party was also looking at him with joy on his face.

Taking a deep breath, Koch slowly said: "In this way, Quisling's behavior just now has nothing to do with the attitude of the German government."

"That's right!" Haakon VII nodded affirmatively to everyone present: "At least we can be sure that Quisling has not contacted the German government at all. Otherwise, he will never make a declaration that is completely contrary to the German government.

"

"What if... this is a trap set by the German government to make us relax our vigilance?" the Norwegian Prime Minister asked worriedly.

"Impossible!" Minister Koch immediately retorted: "Judging from Quisling's attitude, he must have been wagging his tail to the German government through secret channels. If the Germans want to invade us, they only need to talk to the Norwegian Minister of Arms

Just say hello and you will be able to coordinate inside and outside and land on our territory easily."

"From this point of view, there is absolutely no need for the German government to waste any extra effort in negotiating arms sales and transactions with us." The head of the Intelligence Department obviously agreed with Koch's analysis and responded accordingly.

"Now Quisling..." asked the Prime Minister.

"He is just making his own decisions." When he thought that a powerful country like Germany did not join Quisling, Koch breathed a sigh of relief: "Without Germany's affirmation, Quisling's troubles will not cause much trouble.

question."

Before this, Koch had been worried that Quisling would do something outrageous and trigger a German invasion. In fact, based on everyone's understanding of Quisling, it had long been guessed that he must have offered cooperation to Germany.

Signal.

The arms deal from Germany relieved Koch's worries from the side.

Quisling must have contacted Germany, but even so, the German government was still willing to provide weapons to the Norwegian government. This shows that the German leaders did not agree with Quisling's requests or proposals, and had no interest in occupying Norway.

Contrary to idiots like Quisling, Germany's leaders are much smarter. They obviously understand how beneficial a neutral Norway is to Germany, so they are not seduced by Quisling's offer of a good fighter.

Being able to make such a rational analysis can calmly choose the safest and most beneficial way of action when faced with the temptation of foreign and domestic partners. Give up the easy task of destroying the country and guide the situation to develop in a peaceful and stable direction that is beneficial to oneself.

.Although this head of state of the Third Reich was a bit scary in his intelligence, he actually made Koch feel at ease.

This is because the German head of state is a smart man, so he will not be tempted by superficial interests like Quisling. As long as the situation does not deteriorate further, Koch is sure that he will help Norway remain neutral as much as possible and be a "good thing" for Germany.

piece".

Now among the entire Norwegian top brass, only Quisling, the idiot, is still in the dark, hoping to get support from Germany. It’s deplorable, abominable, and even more pathetic!
