"Stand upright." An SS captain recognized Chen Dao's rank of colonel and immediately shouted loudly.

All the SS soldiers present stood up straight, and a crisp sound of heel collision reached Chen Dao's ears.

Hastily bowed, but it could ensure that the movements were uniform, and more than a dozen people only made a sound of hitting their heels, which showed that these people were definitely highly trained, and Chen Dao drew a conclusion from a simple upright action. "Take a break." Chen Dao said.

The SS officers and soldiers relaxed and looked at Chen Dao together.

"I am Colonel Heinz von Rosen, commander of the Hermann Goering Motorized Rifle Regiment of the Luftwaffe, and I am a shipmate who is in the same boat as you." Chen Dao looked at the SS major with a smile, and then asked, "Major, aren't you going to introduce yourself to me?" ”

"I'm Major Wackler, commander of the 3rd Battalion of the Führer Regiment of the Waffen-SS Special Mobile Division, and it's a pleasure to meet you, Colonel Rosen." Major Wackler said.

"Nice to meet you, Major Wackler." Chen Dao took out a box of Cosmic brand cigarettes from his left breast pocket, gave one to Major Wackler, and smoked one himself, then stuffed the cigarette case to an SS captain and motioned for him to distribute cigarettes to the SS soldiers present.

Major Wackerer took out a lighter and lit a cigarette for Chen Dao, and at the same time secretly looked at Chen Dao, thinking that this Colonel Rosen looked less than thirty years old, which was a bit too young.

Since the regiment was named after the commander of the Air Force, Field Marshal Goering, the regimental commander would not be incompetent, and this Colonel Rosen must have his own uniqueness.

As he lit his cigarette, Major Wackler's gaze swept over the No. 4 G tank and No. 4 assault gun, and he said that he had dealt with the army a lot, including the armored division, and the army definitely did not have these two types of equipment.

Are they the secret weapon of the Air Force? If you can get the support of these powerful weapons in the battle in Norway, your own men will definitely reduce many casualties. It seems that it is necessary for me to get close to this Colonel Rosen and find out where he is.

Coincidentally, Chen Dao was also full of thoughts at this time.

It's too late to change your outfit now, and you have to wait until after the French campaign to put the plan for changing camouflage uniforms on the agenda.

Camouflage uniforms look easy but are actually very complicated, requiring the adjustment of the pattern and color of the clothes according to different seasons and different combat environments, this problem is not something that can be solved by one's own head, but requires real experts to solve.

Since the Waffen-SS dared to use camouflage uniforms, they must have done sufficient research and research, and there was definitely a team of experts behind them. If we can get their help, we should be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort in the future refitting work of the Herman Goring Regiment.

Chen Dao also thought of his plan for the great unity of Germany's three and a half services, and now with himself as a link, the unity of the Luftwaffe and the German Navy was just around the corner.

Why don't you take this opportunity today to use this Major Wagler as a starting point to infiltrate the SS and strive to unite the SS at an early date?

After making their own decisions, Chen Dao and Major Wagler had one intention and the other intention, and they fought fiercely without a single cigarette.

Chen Dao learned from Major Wagler that the commander of the Waffen-SS Special Mobile Division was Lieutenant General Paul Hauser, and that the division was originally tasked with attacking the Netherlands. After the Dutch campaign was canceled, they were transferred to Hamburg to prepare for the Norwegian campaign.

Compared with Chen Dao, the excitement on Major Wagler's face was even stronger. After questioning Chen Dao, Major Wagler finally learned the official names of the Type 4G tank and the No. 4 assault gun, and confirmed that they were indeed the secret weapons of the Luftwaffe.

Chen Dao also revealed a news that surprised Major Wagler unusually much, the field investigation team led by Chen Dao did not have a fixed investigation location, and wherever there was fighting, they could appear there, and all actions were arranged by the Colonel Rosen in front of him, and they were completely unrestrained by the Norwegian Campaign Command.

Upon hearing this news, Major Wagler became even more attentive and eager to kidnap Chen Dao to his battlefield.

The two were chatting passionately when Major Schumacher hurried to Chen Dao.

"The captain has just told me that they have received orders that the Munich is going to be diverted to Kristiansand."

An SS second lieutenant also approached Major Wagler and informed him of the change of landing site and combat mission.

"Colonel Rosen, I just received an order that my troops will land in Kristiansand and then go to Stavanger, would you and your subordinates be willing to go to Stavanger to conduct field investigations?" Major Wagler asked.

Facing Major Wagler's anxious eyes, Chen Dao nodded indifferently, "Yes." ”

Happiness came so easily, Major Wagler excitedly stretched out his hand to Chen Dao and said, "On behalf of the Führer Corps, on behalf of the Waffen-SS Special Mobile Division, I welcome you to join. Colonel Rosen, you will be our most honored guest. ”

Holding Major Wagler's big hand, Chen Dao said with a smile: "I remember that it is the French who occupy Stavanger, and I also ask you to assist me in completing the investigation of the French." ”

"We will do our best, please rest assured." Major Wagler said.

・・・・・・

At 11 o'clock on the night of April 12, 1940, the merchant ship Munich slowly sailed into Kristiansand, Norway's fifth-largest port city.

After lowering the gangway, Chen Dao and Major Wagler led their subordinates to disembark in turn and stepped on the solid concrete floor of the pier, Chen Dao looked at his watch, 11:20.

At the same time, in Oslo, the capital of Norway, the officers and men of the 3rd Mountain Division of the German Army were doing the same.

Their arrival announced the landing of German troops in Norway without firing a single shot, and also announced the complete success of the third step of the Thanksgiving Plan.

Chen Dao ordered Major Schubert to lead his men to cooperate with the dock workers to unload heavy equipment, and he followed Major Wagler to an office on the docks.

In his office, after being introduced by Major Wagler, Chen Dao met the head of the Führer's regiment, Lieutenant Colonel Kepler, a man with glasses with a bald head, who Chen Dao visually measured to be between 40 and 50 years old.

Lieutenant Colonel Kepler greeted Chen Dao very politely, and Major Wagler had just mentioned Chen Dao's heavy equipment to Lieutenant Colonel Kepler when the sound of metal grinding outside the window could be heard.

Glancing at the shaking glass on the office window, Lieutenant Colonel Kepler picked up his hat and fastened it on his bald head, and then walked outside with Chen Dao.

Lieutenant Colonel Kepler had a shocked look on his face at the sight of the long barrel on the Type 4G tank and the stout 105mm howitzer on the No. 4 assault gun・・・・・・

On 13 April, the field investigation team led by Chen Dao spent the day in Kristiansand while waiting for the Waffen-SS Führer to assemble.

After reporting to the Norwegian Campaign Command in Oslo, the team boarded a train at 8 a.m. on 14 April and headed for Egersund, 50 kilometres south of Stavanger. After the loss of Stavanger, the remnants of the 3rd Norwegian Infantry Brigade formed a new defensive line at Eggelsund to prevent the French from attacking Kristiansand.

At 2 p.m. on April 14, the field investigation team led by Chen Dao arrived in Egelsund.

That night, the Waffen-SS Führer regiment arrived by two trains.

At 8 o'clock in the morning on April 15, after breakfast, Chen Dao and Kepler went to the headquarters of the 3rd Infantry Brigade of Norway to attend an operational meeting.

After the pleasantries, the commander of the 3rd Brigade, Colonel Eisen, motioned for a young man in his twenties dressed in civilian clothes to introduce himself.

The young man, speaking fluent German, said: "I am Second Lieutenant Wolf of the Brandenburg Unit of the German Intelligence Bureau, and I have brought the latest information on the French army in the Stavanger area. ”
