Chapter 1502： Iceland is liberated

Up to now, there has been no scandal about the abuse of prisoners of war by the Germans. Although the Germans rushed the prisoners of war into the mines to mine and carry out heavy manual labor, at least life can be guaranteed, and the Germans have not done so.

In this case, surrender seems to be the best way.

"No, we can't surrender, we can't set this bad precedent." At this moment, Major General Sledge suddenly shouted: "We still have the Prime Minister of Iceland and the leader of their police force. Let's push them out. Tell the people outside, if we don't disperse, we will kill them!"

"No, Sledge, this will cause a terrible chain reaction." Lieutenant General Alexander shouted: "As a lieutenant general, as the highest commander in Iceland, I order you. You can't do that!"

In the United States, senior military commanders must have a certain degree of political acumen. Take the most basic aircraft carrier captain as an example. When going out, he represents the United States and needs political considerations.

And now as the commander of the garrison stationed in a country, it is even more necessary.

They took Hermann and Anadez to the headquarters and forced them to speak to the whole country. They had already taken a big risk, and they failed. Hermann actually smashed them.

If they push them out again as hostages, what is that? The United States can no longer occupy the height of morality. How should the US military stationed in other countries deal with the relationship with the local area? It will be shown off by the German propaganda department everywhere, as a strong evidence of attacking oneself.

We can’t do that. Doing that will make the United States more isolated and make more countries lean toward Germany! For the United States, this is the worst-case scenario.

Therefore, he did not hesitate to use his identity to suppress the generals under him, and he must not make such a terrible mistake.

Hearing what Alexander said, Sledge sat weakly on the chair. This battle was too useless, right?

Although the two can guess the final outcome from the beginning, they still have hope that even if their side fails in the end, it will be defeated vigorously, allowing the world to see the fighting will of the US military.

And now, it has become a complete joke, yes, just a joke! They surrendered directly.

This change in the situation, even Germany did not expect that the Americans would directly surrender? Will there be fraud?

What's the matter? Just let the American soldiers walk out of the barracks empty-handed. What can they do when they are escorted to the cargo ship?

"Please treat us in accordance with the Geneva agreement." This was the last request of Lieutenant General Alexander, and to such a request, the German commander on the opposite side immediately agreed.

On the Soviet-German battlefield, any prisoner of war could be dealt with, because the Soviet Union did not sign the Geneva Agreement. As for American prisoners of war, it is natural to be treated accordingly.

This is also a propaganda. If you win, you will fight, and if you fail to win, you will surrender. Germany will not treat you badly.

When Herman came out, he was warmly welcomed by the Icelandic people. For Icelanders, Herman was an Icelandic hero. After being controlled by the US army, Hellman remained resourceful and brave and took advantage of the opportunity of broadcasting. Cleverly called on the people of Iceland, and finally out of danger.

Standing on the high stage, Herman gave a passionate speech, and then returned to the Prime Minister's Office. For him, there was more important thing to do.

The Americans surrendered, but the Germans are here again. Then, how should Iceland adjust its relations with the Germans?

This is the question facing Hermann, especially since the Germans shouted so many slogans when they came in, can it be realized?

Fortunately, he didn't make him hesitate for long. Just when the sky just turned on, German Foreign Minister Ribbentrop took a special plane to Reykjavik.

Faced with Ribbentrop's arrival, Hermann expressed a warm welcome, just like welcoming the head of state. After the two sides settled down, the conversation began.

Hermann, Anadez and others all had dark circles under their eyes, bloodshot inside. They hadn't closed their eyes for 24 hours.

And now, the two men forced their spirits up and looked at Ribbentrop.

"First of all, to your liberation, we express our warm welcome and condolences." Ribbentrop said: "First, the United Kingdom, and then the United States. They all forcibly stationed troops in Iceland. This is illegal. Congratulations. You guys."

Liberated? This is not necessarily true. The Americans are gone and the Germans are here.

"Next, let's talk about constructive ways to completely improve the economic level of Iceland." Ribbentrop said: "As long as you agree, we can start construction immediately to build Reykjavik and Keflavík. The international airport is expected to drive more than 2,000 jobs."

For a country with a total population of only a few hundred thousand people, stimulating the employment of two thousand people means that there will be a family of ten thousand people with a stable income.

The Germans do what they say.

The current airport is too small, and it is still earthy. It cannot meet the needs at all. It must be a hardened large airport. It is an international airport at ordinary times and can take off and land bombers during war. If the German fleet takes off from Iceland to bomb the United States, it will be enough. It can save half of the fuel.

Even if Germany doesn't care about fuel consumption at least the voyage is short and the response is faster.

"But, I'm afraid that the Americans will bomb it!" Anades said.

They all know what's going on in the construction of the airport. I'm afraid they are still serving the Germans. As long as the ownership goes to Iceland and the employment in Iceland is also promoted, it is still good for them. They are afraid that they will attract the jealousy of the Americans and continue to bombard. Who can stand it?

"We can protect the safety of Iceland." Ribbentrop said: "If the Americans dare to come, let them come back."

Germany is domineering and has domineering capital. Just saying this by Ribbentrop means that the Germans are going to garrison! Although I know that the Germans must be stationed, they are reluctant after all.

"At the same time, we will also help Iceland build aquatic product processing plants. Iceland has abundant fishery resources, but Iceland does not have very good processing plants. The fished aquatic products are processed in the processing plants and exported to the world. What do you think?" Ribbentrop finished speaking, looked at the two, and continued to say his most important words: "At the same time, we will formulate rules in Europe to divide fishing areas."
