In the early morning of the 5th, German bombers suddenly appeared over Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark, and at the same time, the German troops concentrated on the German-Danish border suddenly launched an attack on Denmark. The German landing force also landed at strategic points such as Zealand, and the Danish king accepted the German ultimatum to lay down his arms, and four hours later, Denmark was occupied by the Germans.

A small country has no depth, no larger population, no strong military, then equal peace can only be a Danish fairy tale.

At the same time, the Germans were also attacking Norway.

Norway's long and narrow territory, dense harbors, in the harsh winter, when the Baltic Sea is frozen and unnavigable, the northern ice-free port of Narvis, which is affected by the warm Atlantic Current, can still transfer Swedish iron ore by rail, and Swedish iron ore is the lifeblood of the Germans, and the Germans' artillery and tanks are counting on this. The British also saw this, so they have been courting Norway.

King Haakon VII of Norway was brother to the good-natured, optimistic King Crean X of Denmark. Norway also belonged to Denmark for more than 400 years, and then it was assigned to Sweden for more than 100 years, and it was not until 05 that it gained full independence. Europe in different cultural contexts has always been in turmoil between unity and division. And this turmoil has also brought about a rapid convergence of civilizations. Therefore, even if Europe is a small country, it can keep up with the pace of the times, which should not be underestimated. Finland is a good example of this.

Although Norway is not very strong, with only an army of more than 10,000 people, no tanks, and only 70 old aircraft, they have many harbors, a long coastline, and a lot of shore artillery. More crucially, the Vikings have always had a spirit of stubborn resistance boiling in their blood.

The German task force, which directly attacked the seaport near the Norwegian capital Oslo, suffered the tragic fate of almost total annihilation, as in the previous history. Shore artillery plus torpedoes fired from the shore by Norwegian soldiers, the flagship "Blucher" was sunk, and the commander of the fleet, Konmotz, was again captured alive. However, Meng Xiang, who didn't know the details, was surprised for most of the day, which was completely inconsistent with the image of the invincible German ** team in his mind.

Originally, he had already sold a lot of warships to the Germans, but the Germans obviously still despised Norway a little, and the Germans sent five fleets to land in five places in one go, which also made the fleet attacking Oslo similar to the original history. But on the other hand, Norway bought a dozen more shore guns of more than 280 mm caliber from the umbrella. Meng Xiang kindly reminded both sides, and the result was that history under multiple interferences came again unswervingly.

For all this, Meng Xiang thought that his own interference had played a role. But he didn't really care. After all, this is not a nerve-wracking thing for the Germans. Although they lost thousands of navies, the Germans still had a lot of talent, and the Germans lost ships, which increased his trade. For Meng Xiang, no matter which side it is, if the warship sinks, his business will be more prosperous. However, the news turned out to be terrible for the Germans.

"Teach them a lesson with our megaship!" Hitler, who received the news that day, was furious, and took the opportunity to adjust the interior of the navy, waving his arms and shouting at the golden stars of the navy.

With this order, the Hindenburg, a Yamato-class battleship, slowly sailed past Denmark, which was controlled by the Germans. The Germans needed this supership to deter others. This Yamato-class battleship has no rivals in Europe to this day.

The arrogant British refused to buy from copycat companies, choosing instead to make their own. At this time, the design of the new super battleship had just been approved, and the spearhead was directed at the Hindenburg. But the British Empire had fallen, and the high cost of the Empire had led to constant disputes in Parliament. The intricate relationships of the old empire have been drained from within. The old aristocracy fell, the new nobles rose up in three generations, and the British were only glorious for more than two hundred years, and they were already in their twilight years.

The British's new superbattleship Elizabeth is still on the drawings, but the Germans Hindenburg have already begun to push Austburg.

"Oh God! It's the ship! "The Norwegians were already depressed when they saw the Hindenburg. Last year, the megaship has been circulating in Europe. But it wasn't until I saw it with my own eyes that I was shocked, and despite the rumbling of cannons, it was like a mountain peak emerging from the smoke of gunpowder at sea level. And above the mountain peak, the flames that rose and the evaporated sea water distorted the vision in the distance, making it more and more hideous as a giant ship.

"Boom, boom!" The roar of the triple Type 94 45 460 mm caliber naval guns immediately suppressed the resistance of the shore guns. Although it is said that warships often suffer losses from shore guns, if there is a big difference in performance, the probability of shore guns being used as targets is also greater. Obviously, of all the Norwegian shore guns, not a single one can compete with the strongest naval guns of the moment.

The Norwegians were careless, did not set up a large number of mine blockades in the harbor, and did not have submarines worth threatening, relying only on shore guns and torpedoes placed on the shore, they could not withstand the thick armor protection of Yamato-class battleships that could resist their own artillery. In the smoke of gunpowder, the Germans relied on the Yamato-class battleships to capture the harbor of Augsburg, and finally did not repeat history, and the British and French forces were one step away from destroying the remnants of the task force. And the Yamato-class battleship also showed the world its mighty might.

However, in this war, it was the German paratroopers who made a big show. While the navy was still dodging by the Norwegians' shore artillery, the paratroopers had already landed everywhere, and on the 5th they took control of the five important ports and major airfields of the Norwegians, and even Oslo was the first to be attacked by the airborne troops on the 6th. And this time, because of the merits of the Yamato-class battleships, the navy finally did not play soy sauce once, saving a little face.

For the first time in human history, the Norwegians were subjected to a coordinated attack by the army, navy and air force. The Vanguard was also demonstrated, but the navy was small and mainly defensive. It is either land and air, or sea and air, and it is not enough to get together and fight together with the three armed forces.

In the face of such a strong attack, the Norwegians, although they resisted valiantly, were still not strong after all, and Haakon VII on the 6th fled from the capital. However, although the capital fell, the resistance of the Norwegians did not stop. Even though the German-backed Quisling led his fifth column to break up part of the Norwegian resistance, the Norwegians regarded him as a traitor and refused to recognize his puppet government, choosing to continue the resistance.

By the 10th, the Anglo-French forces had finally sent reinforcements. But in the face of all-round attacks from the Germans, it was no longer helpful. Just one Yamato-class battleship left them helpless, and they could only drag soy sauce bottles to fight the Germans in a few ports on a small scale, but they never gave a decent threat to the Germans who were advancing in Norway.

The main threat to the Germans was only Norway's mountainous terrain and inconvenient communication conditions, which forced them to slow down. At the beginning, the Danes chose to surrender because the terrain was gentle, and they could not stop the gallop of German tanks. However, Norway's newly appointed Supreme Commander, Lieutenant General Rugay, rejected all surrenders and ordered the Norwegians to surround and infiltrate German-controlled Oslo and other coastal cities, temporarily resisting the German offensive in northern Norway. In late April, the Norwegians withdrew to Tronem in the Arctic Circle and formed a provisional government to continue the resistance.

The German offensive was sluggish, and they also tasted the might of Somi and the elephants. Originally, the Norwegians were relatively backward in weapons, but after purchasing a batch of somi and elephants, they actually posed a considerable threat to the Germans, especially in the street battles in the city, their power was not inferior to that of the well-armed Germans. Elephant anti-tank guns often destroyed German tanks. This gave the Germans a headache.

"I hope your company's deal will take care of our situation." The Germans are still very polite to copycat companies, after all, they still need the arms deal of copycat companies at this time. They just hope that copycat companies will stop supplying weapons and ammunition to Norway. In return, these weapons, the Germans could buy at an equivalent or even a slightly higher price.

"We naturally take into account the mood of old friends. But I'm sorry, but this is what our old adversary, Umbrella Corporation, did, and they have these weapons too. When 51 said this, there was no trace of shame on his face for lying, in fact, he only knew that copycats and umbrellas sometimes cooperated, but most of them were indeed opponents. Just like Suomi and the elephant, the umbrella is also unceremoniously used directly and actively marketed.

The Germans also inquired through their relations in South America. After being carried forward in the hands of the Finnish battlefield and the vanguard army, Suomi also began to be sold by the umbrella company in South America and other places. It's a pity that the price of Suomi is still too high, so the sales are not very good. But they did not yet know that the Norwegians had taken their weapons from the Umbrella Company, which had begun to sell to the Europeans.

The Germans went through only two deals with Nagato-class battleships with the Umbrella. It's not very familiar, and it's definitely inappropriate to warn people not to do business with Norway. The Germans had already decided to deal with Norway, but it was just a little troublesome, and this was not enough for the Germans to offend a large arms company that was also unclear. A company with a dozen Nagato-class battleships in one shake is definitely not to be underestimated.

"May we have a happy cooperation in the future!" The Germans had no choice but to leave it alone.

And Suomi and the elephants inflicted a lot of damage on both the Russians and the Germans, which led to a significant increase in the sales of these weapons. The Swedes even asked for an order of 10,000 somi in one go. Sweden, sandwiched between Finland and Norway, has long hooked up with the Germans. But he also deeply understands that a strong army is the basis for avoiding the coveting of jackals.

Even the British and French imported a batch for testing.

Meng Xiang calculated that he didn't have much of a crisis for the time being, so he also had a limited supply here. Compared to the scale of the vanguard army, which needs to equip more than one million troops, these are just small fights. This was not too much of a problem for the Germans, who were debating whether to equip them with a few more Panther tanks. The three Panther D tanks supplied by the copycat company completely attracted the attention of the Germans.

"Give me a thousand of these tanks, and I can sweep through France." Guderian couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, this was his ideal tank. The firepower is strong, flexible and mobile, and the most important thing is that it is not easy to have problems at every turn. During the attack on Poland, some tanks were destroyed by the Poles because of mechanical problems.

The armament of the Germans was shifting to tanks and armor, and the Elephant anti-tank guns, although good, were still deflated against the Panthers. At this time, the Germans were still snickering, and Britain and France were constantly studying elephants and preparing to imitate them.

Meng Xiang ignored these, originally he was also from a copycat, and he could sell it at this time. In the shadow of the fallen country, not many people pick on these weapons, even if they are expensive, they care about the performance of the weapons, and Suomi reassures them. A small number of people can form a network of fire, comparable to a light machine gun. At this time, they will all shell out real money to buy on a large scale.

In times of war, only gold and silver are more suitable as international currency. When they buy weapons, they do not forget to transfer the gold and silver from the treasury. Of course, Meng Xiang will not forget.

The Poles were the first to act, and they quickly moved the gold from the treasury. Although Meng Xiang knew that he also had the intention of taking advantage of the fire to rob, there were not many operators in Europe, and even a special team of more than 30 people specially sent to the past could not face the escorted army at all, let alone find many loopholes, so he could only watch them sent into Romania. Eventually, however, the gold was cheaper for the Germans, as Romania soon joined the Axis powers.

The Norwegians also entrusted the British with the advance of the shipment of gold from their central bank to England. But the convoy of transports was attacked by submarines.

"The Germans did it!" Everyone pointed the finger at the Germans, who were in the spotlight at this time, but the Germans were also wondering, who was planting the blame?

"The British, these pirates, are the best at this!" At this time, they guessed that the British were guarding and stealing the gold. Because the survivors leaked the news that some of the submarines looked like British.

When they were fighting, Meng Xiang was secretly happy. After learning the more accurate information through the spies who had been paying attention to this matter, Meng Xiang began to arrange. In order to confuse the ears and eyes, he specially used the British S-class submarines, which with an underwater displacement of 927 tons proved to be one of the best submarines of World War II, especially suitable for operations in Northern Europe and the Mediterranean.

This time, though, they were used to loot. Blocked those three target destroyers. Six submarines ambushed and damaged two destroyers at the outset, and the other escaped the pursuit with speed. The two remaining destroyers, both carrying gold, were transferred to submarines before sinking. The surviving crew members were thrown onto the lifeboats and awaited rescue.

All they saw was a group of heavily wrapped soldiers carrying gold, with the occasional few exposed skins showing that they were white. The armament was a German submachine gun, but the disguised submarines were recognized as British. Everyone broke their heads, and they would not have thought that it was the vanguard army who came to Europe to commit crimes. This time the operation is all about cloning. Meng Xiang was also worried about the revelation at this time, and the clone was the best secret.

Although Meng Xiang had already made arrangements, he was still worried for more than ten days, and finally received the news that the operation was successful and he got 56 tons of gold and other treasures, Meng Xiang was also very happy. In one operation, tens of millions of dollars will be in hand, which is not bad. The most important thing is that gold can be used as a reserve to issue credit money.

After many arms and medicine transactions, Meng Xiang has also accumulated nearly 1,000 tons of gold in his hands. However, on the basis of no more than 100,000 tons of gold that people can mine on the earth, Meng Xiang has never been too little gold.

Such a blow while the fire is blowing, Meng Xiang is also unceremoniously. However, this time it was just an appetizer, and soon the French would also ship more than two thousand tons of gold. This is the real feast.

However, the occurrence of robbery at sea really worries some small countries, and it is similar to history, and as soon as they hesitate, they will have no chance. It will end up in the hands of the Germans. The vanguard army was not strong in Europe, and it was difficult to fish in troubled waters. Meng Xiang didn't care very much, sooner or later he would use munitions to pull the gold out of the hands of the Germans.

Not only the Germans, but also the British and the French have accumulated wealth for hundreds of years, and they are also shining in Meng Xiang's eyes. He only hopes that the drums of war in Europe will beat more violently, and that he will have more opportunities.

Without his push, the ambitions of the Germans began to explode in the waving arms of the mustache.

"That's it!" Hitler finally decided on the next step of a larger-scale operation. This plan, proposed by Manstein, who was not too high-ranking in the position, was opposed by many people at first. But Brother Beard also received reminders and suggestions from the copycat company, and after reasoning that was completely feasible, the adventurous Brother Beard immediately made a plan.

The staff officer Manstein was also promoted by this, because the same opinion was promoted with him by a logistics staff officer with a lower rank, and the joy of promotion was not engraved on his face, but when no one was around, he sent a telegram and continued to run according to the usual old-fashioned rhythm of life.

When Europe is noisy, the country is not quiet either.

The actions of the Japanese in February all saved face. Although the Japanese in Wuhan were repulsed, the Japanese occupied Nanchang. Fangcheng, Qinzhou, Beihai and other places on the Guangxi side were also occupied by the Japanese. The French only weakly protested, and there was no movement, and their attention was now focused on Europe. This encouraged the Japanese, and a plan of action for going south was constantly being prepared.

Of course, they will not forget the vanguard army, and at the junction with the vanguard army, they have carried out the construction of larger-scale military fortresses and fortifications, which cost so much that Meng Xiang feels distressed.

Many materials in China are insufficient, such as reinforced concrete, and the Japanese can only transport them from China. Although they consumed some of their strength, they oppressed the people in the occupied areas even more. Wang Jingwei, the accomplice, had already stepped on the thief ship at this time, and he also accepted his fate. Began to actively organize manpower to deal with the Vanguard Army and the Central Army.

There will be scum at any time, and there will be brave men under the heavy reward. Although these traitors are not strong in combat, they are all masters of scourging. The territory of the vanguard army has become larger, and in some places where the management department is in place, some incidents instigated by traitors have occurred. These pure Chinese people are naturally difficult to distinguish. If it weren't for the fact that the vanguard army had joined a group of clones under the supervision of the newly added group of clones, the policies implemented were more in-depth and won the approval of the people, I am afraid that there would be some big chaos.

"It seems that I'm still a little too soft!" Meng Xiang was cold to him and launched a larger hoeing operation.

"Phew!" After a gunshot, the crowd in front of the Dabao'en Temple in Nanjing was in chaos and fled one after another.

"Catch the assassin!" More than a dozen black-clothed men ran around dazedly and shouted, but the corpse behind them was already lying helplessly on the ground, and half of its head was missing.

There are also many traitors who feel panicked and helpless. In three days, more than 100 traitor leaders in Nanjing, Shanghai and other places were sniped to death, and two traitors were killed in their offices, homes, streets, hotels, restaurants, and even in the general headquarters of the devils. And whether it is a devil or a puppet army, they haven't even caught a single hair of other snipers.

Although they captured some scapegoats for the people, the traitors who knew the truth knew the power of the vanguard army. The Vanguard's previous warnings definitely have weight. I also understand that it does not matter if each fights for his own lord, and that he should not be a scourge.

For a while, the traitors were also rumored and much more honest. If you have money, you need to spend it.

Lao Chiang also used the methods of these traitor ambassadors, and the network of national and military commanders was very extensive, and it was even more solid than the intelligence network of the vanguard army. They will also take advantage of these traitors directly. Anyway, as long as there are benefits, who is not selling your life to it?

Many places in the Kuomintang area have already been eroded without the scourge of traitors, and Lao Jiang is too many lice to worry about biting, so he has long been out of his mind.

At this time, he was most worried about the vanguard army.

Lao Jiang lost face after being taken to another city by the Japanese army. At this time, he didn't care about the trouble of the vanguard army, and was sorting out the central government, which was a little messy. The central government had been divided into two opposing factions, one of which had raised a banner in support of the vanguard and took advantage of the noise to remove Lao Chiang from power. There are all kinds of minds in this faction, and not all of them are for the good of the vanguard.

Meng Xiang watched coldly, lowered his head and continued to farm. Developing the economy and expanding the armed forces is fundamental. Before you know it, the regular army of the vanguard army has expanded to two million.
