Viborg Airport, which was originally built with German aid, had been lent by the Finnish government to the Swedish Volunteer Division for use as a direct airport. However, with the defeat of the Swedish Division and the destruction of their air force, the mission of this airport also temporarily came to an end.
But at this moment, the air force ground staff of the Swedish Volunteer Division, who were destined not to wait for their own fighter planes to return, welcomed the Norwegian battalion volunteers who had assembled in a square formation.
"The airfield directly under the Swedish division is temporarily requisitioned by the Nordic Army Headquarters, and all ground staff will cooperate." These were the original words of the Norwegian commander named Marvin.
What are the Norwegians going to do? This is the question of every Swedish ground handler present.
They knew that their troops had lost the battle, and there were even rumors that most of the Swedish division was trying to bypass Vyborg, pass through the mouth of Vipli Bay on the northeastern coast of the Gulf of Finland, and return home on a transport ship sent from the country.
At this time, they, the seemingly forgotten ground crew, could only stay in Vyborg City, hoping that the Norwegian troops would protect their safety.
I have to say that this situation is very embarrassing.
But now, even this embarrassing situation seems to be unsustainable. The Norwegians seem to be running away, and unlike the Swedish division, which has a large base and chooses to transport by sea, the Norwegians' escape method may still be by air!
Soon, a scene that surprised the ground crew of the Swedish Volunteer Division happened - about 20 ugly-looking transport aircraft with corrugated aluminum skins and sharp fuselage outlines landed on their ground under the escort of fighter jets.
Basics. On the side of the fuselage, they clearly saw the bright iron cross logo!
On the other side, Alfred, the commander of the Norwegian battalion who was reorganizing his team, also showed surprise that he could not hide.
"Did you really get a German transport plane?" Looking at his adjutant Marvin, Alfred suddenly had a lot of affection for this adjutant whom he had always disliked.
He knew who Marvin and Marvin's superior Quisling were. They were both masters who wanted to make the Germans their godfathers. Before that, Alfred had always thought that as long as his adjutant did not cause any trouble, it would be fine.
, let alone expect him to be of much help.
Then, when he heard that Marvin wanted to follow the Germans' wishes and keep all the Norwegian volunteer troops to deploy the defense of Vyborg, Alfred even considered knocking this guy out and kidnapping him back home.
Not long ago, he was still thinking about how to carry Marvin on his back, find a way to pull the troops far away, and wait for an opportunity to return home. But now, this guy Marvin actually got the transport plane that will take them back home, and he can directly let them return home.
Everyone get out of this damn place.
What Marvin did at this last moment made Alfred completely change his original view.
This guy Marvin...is actually a good guy?!
"To be precise, I did not bring the transport plane, but the Germans took the initiative to send it." Marvin smiled and said with some pride: "I heard that German Foreign Minister Ribbentrop took the initiative to pass Minister Quisling.
We built a bridge and conveyed goodwill to our government and offered to send a transportation fleet to escort our volunteer battalion back home."
As he said this, Marvin turned his head with a half-smile and cast his gaze towards the location of the German transport formation: "It looks like we will all be sent back home within today."
In fact, it was the first time for both Marvin and Alfred to see such a large transportation formation. In order to transport them all to Finland, the Kingdom of Norway, which has scarce air transport capacity, could only choose the slow sea transportation method, which cost a lot of money.
It took several days to arrive in Finland.
But today, looking at the huge transport formation in front of him, Marvin was convinced that the Norwegian battalion could be emptied out in at most two rounds. And the time spent going back and forth would only take an afternoon at most.
Although we know that the ultimate purpose of the Germans sending such a huge transport formation is to cheer up his boss Quisling, win over the pro-German forces in Norway, and by the way demonstrate their air force strength, deter the anti-German and pro-British forces in Norway, and
He didn't really care about these hundreds of people. However, Marvin was still sincerely happy.
At least, today, he can proudly face Alfred, who has always looked down on him, puff out his somewhat withered chest, raise his head and declare confidently that his pro-German views are not stupid, and are helpful to Norway.
,Effectual!
While the UK, which those pro-British factions are looking forward to, is still putting pressure on the Norwegian government, demanding that Norway open its borders and allow the British and French forces to enter. Germany, with the efforts of the pro-German faction, has already released the most obvious force on the Norwegian government.
of goodwill.
Today, it is because of the efforts of their pro-German faction that they have won the Germans' proactive overtures and the opportunity to lead the volunteer battalion to quickly leave the land of right and wrong.
At least at this moment, it was their pro-German faction and the transport formation that wanted to bring the Germans, which temporarily saved the lives of everyone present. It retained Norway's effective strength, which accounts for 5% of the country's total military strength!
At this moment, he was the hero. Today, his efforts have been rewarded.
"Although not a single shot was fired, I don't think I will forget the experience of these days." Before leaving, Alfred smiled and sighed to Marvin: "Do you know what the biggest gain of my trip is?"
When Alfred said these words to Marvin, he had completely lost the prejudice he had before. In more than three months of acquaintance, this was the first time that Alfred smiled in front of Marvin, and he smiled very kindly.
"You couldn't have tricked a little Finnish girl, right?" Without the grudge that he once had, Marvin also made a rare joke: "If necessary, I will make room for you on the plane and take the girl with you."
go back."
Marvin's words immediately aroused the resonance and jeers of several Norwegian grassroots commanders around him.
"No way, the battalion commander's 29-year bachelor career has ended like this."
"I'm not sure if I'm old enough. I thought the battalion commander could only rely on his own hands to solve physical problems before he turned 30."
"I heard that our volunteer camp originally recruited all bachelors. If this battalion commander has a partner, he will really be out of tune. I suggest that we break up as soon as possible."
"..."
The officers of the volunteer battalion were extremely happy at the thought of returning to China soon and enjoying a life untouched by war. When they spoke, they were very relaxed and joked wantonly.
Some of these officers were generals who had previously been classified as the "Alfred faction", while others were close associates of the "Marvin faction". Before today, they didn't like each other, and no one was convinced by the other.
But now, as the two central figures have settled their differences, the two groups have quickly become one, making jokes about Battalion Commander Alfred.
Listening to everyone's jokes, Alfred also laughed happily and said: "You have such a rich imagination!"
"Seriously," after laughing, Alfred walked up to Marvin, put his hand on his shoulder and said seriously: "The biggest gain from my trip is only one, and that is to realize a different person."
Marvin!"
"I apologize to you for my previous prejudice." Alfred lowered his head and admitted his mistake to Marvin from the bottom of his heart: "As you once said, everything you do is also considering Norway."
Although the methods are different, you are equally worthy of respect!"
