The decline of the Nordic army soon reached the headquarters of Marshal Mannerheim of Finland. What followed was the decision made by the rear government.
"They rejected Germany's proposal to form a military alliance?!" Staring at the telegram in his hand, Mannerheim roared like a tyrannical lion with a vibrato: "These idiots actually want us to expel everyone immediately
German military instructor, stop resisting the Soviet army!"
Looking at the angry Mannerheim, the officers and staff on the side roughly guessed the contents of the telegram, even if they had not yet read the telegram in his hand.
Obviously, the defeat of the Swedish division became the last straw that crushed the government's will to resist. The frustrated government officials have decided to end this inevitable war.
"They should really come to the front line to take a look," Colonel Silasvo, who was Mannerheim's number one general and was discussing the war with Mannerheim, also snorted: "Look at those things that fell to us.
The artillery shells on the land, look at those Soviet soldiers occupying our land! Can all this now be solved by weakness and compromise?!"
Just like the old saying from China, once the guns are fired, there are thousands of gold. Moreover, the Soviet army has already lost more than just money in this war. They have lost a lot of troops in this war.
Having lost too much international prestige, when the Soviet Union, which mobilized its troops to win the war, will definitely take back everything they have paid in greater force.
"This is really a bad decision," Mannerheim covered his forehead in pain and said in a deep voice: "Cooperating with the German army is like seeking skin from a tiger, but after all, Finland is not of much value to Germany, and they will not annex us.
.But if we compromise with the Soviet Union, what we will lose is the freedom and soul that we have finally won."
As a hero who finally led Finland to independence and get rid of Russian rule 23 years ago, Mannerheim was completely unable to accept the outcome of once again compromising with Russia. What's more, Germany had already extended an olive branch of cooperation and proposed to send airborne troops.
At this moment, the division quickly provided support.
After circulating the telegram sent by Mannerheim in turn, a senior staff officer who felt that the situation did not seem to be irreversible raised his head, looked around and said: "I said, the telegram didn't say it was an unconditional surrender. The government.
It just wants to sign an armistice agreement with the Soviet Union, cede Karelia to the Vyborg area, and lease the Hanko Peninsula to the Soviet Union as a naval base."
The idea of the senior staff officer was simple. Karelia had been broken through, and the Norwegian branch of the Nordic Army in Vyborg could not hold on. The cession of these areas to the Soviet Union would not essentially change the status quo.
As for leasing the Hanko Peninsula to the Soviet Union as a naval base, it doesn't matter. Taking out a peninsula on the Barents Sea is much better than letting the entire country be wiped out. Anyway, judging from the current development of the situation, Finland
It is also unlikely that the Soviet army won.
"Idiot!" Colonel Silasvo curled his lips and cursed secretly.
"You think it doesn't matter?!" Mannerheim's reaction was even greater. He took three steps in succession and rushed to the senior staff officer. Then he glanced around and said, "How many other people think so."
Several other staff members discussed in a low voice below, but in the end they still did not have the courage to agree with the senior staff members.
Mannerheim watched every move of the several staff officers. The soldiers on the front line were fighting bloody battles with a tenacious will that would attract the attention of everyone in the world. But a few idiots at the rear actually tried to use weakness to fight against the enemy.
Give in and end this war.
The old marshal looked at these useless subordinates angrily and said loudly: "Their greedy appetite is like a bottomless pit that can never be fed!"
Mannerheim thought about how his generation had to go through all kinds of hardships to acquire such a small amount of land for independent Finland. But now the politicians do not cherish this land and give it to others, just like throwing away grass.
Not cherished either.
Cut off Karelia today, cut off Vyborg tomorrow, so that you can have a peaceful night's sleep afterwards. But when you get up tomorrow and look at the surrounding borders, you will see that the Soviet army is coming again. The cycle repeats, and you have to cede land again in exchange for a moment of peace.
Well, Finland's land is limited, and the Soviet Union will never be satisfied. The more land Finland surrenders to them, the more the Soviet army will invade in the future. In the end, there will be no need for a war. Who is strong and who is weak?
The winner can be determined at a glance.
"Now they ask us to lease the Hanko Peninsula to serve as a naval base for them. At the same time, they also ask us to persuade volunteers from various countries to withdraw." Mannerheim's eyes were bright and his body was shaking with excitement: "What about the future? There will be no outside world in the future.
Support, the Soviet Union, which is pushing further and has no worries, will ask us to provide resources, ask us to cooperate in production, and then use various excuses to provoke conflicts with us, and then let us continue to make concessional compensation."
After hearing this, several staff members finally came to their senses and truly understood how many plots and traps set by enemy politicians were hidden in this seemingly acceptable armistice treaty.
Once Finland really accepts this armistice treaty, what awaits them will be endless oppression and encroachment. At that time, they may not be as lucky as they are now, with the alliance opportunity provided by Germany.
Now, if we seize the opportunity, even if it is a temporary alliance with Germany, and then find a way to return to neutrality in the future, it may not be impossible to repel the Soviet army and regain the lost territory. But if we use land and islands to please the Soviet Union, it will be a waste of time.
When putting out a fire, the fire will not be extinguished until all the firewood is burned!
"Look at the Germans. Faced with a seemingly hopeless situation, they chose to follow their leader Reinhardt and work hard to become stronger. In just 20 years, they went from being a weak and defeated country to regaining their strength.
The peak state. From the Rhine Demilitarized Zone to the Danzig Corridor, when have they ever regained their land rights by giving in? Because they know very well that only the victor can truly win peace. If you don't burn in the fire, you won't be reborn!"
"And now, now..." Mannerheim was emotional, and his words were trembling and knotted: "These great role models have responded to our initial expectations and promised to provide the fastest service possible."
The airborne troops came to support... As the parties involved, we changed our original intentions and tried to compromise with the greedy enemy..."

Berlin, Residence of the Führer.
Reinhardt, who had long expected that the Finnish government was about to surrender, and who had only planned to be accommodating from the beginning, put away the polite reply document from the Finnish government, with a smug smile on his lips: "Since you took the initiative to refuse, then you can
