Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

Chapter 201 Occupation of Denmark

During World War II, the Allies formulated many plans, some of which were not implemented before the Germans took advantage of them. Other plans were contingency plans that were abandoned because the emergency did not materialize. In addition, there were plans that were made purely to confuse the enemy.

For example, in the "R4" plan, the British are still boarding the ship, and the German envoy has arrived at the Amalienborg Palace in Copenhagen.

I just waited for an hour but didn’t see the old Danish King Christian X. "When will His Majesty the King come over?" This was the third time he asked the attendant who came to serve him tea.

"Please wait a moment, His Majesty the King will be here soon." The attendant also said the same thing three times.

The German envoy shook his head, looked at the time, and showed an unpredictable smile on his face. "May I have your name?"

The waiter said respectfully. "Gitson, sir."

The envoy nodded. "Gitson, how about we make a bet? Your king will come running to see me in five minutes."

Ignoring the confused expression on the waiter's face, the envoy picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea. "Actually, I don't like drinking tea very much. Just bring me another drink next time."

One point, two points, three points, four points... There was a rush of footsteps outside the door. The old King Christian X almost jogged to the living room with a look of fear on his face.

The German envoy smiled at the shocked waiter and stood up to greet the old king. "Your Majesty Christian, I'm so sorry. It seems that I came at the wrong time. Did I disturb you?"

"Mr. Special Envoy, what do you mean by this?" The old king didn't care about diplomatic etiquette and went straight to the topic angrily.

Just a few minutes ago, he received an emergency report that an overwhelming number of German aircraft had flown over the border between the two countries and were heading straight for Copenhagen. "Is this your country's undeclared war? Denmark is a neutral country!!"

The German envoy spread his hands with an innocent face. "Your Majesty Christian, this is not an undeclared war. I arrived here an hour ago, which means that our country declared war on your country an hour ago." At this point, his face suddenly darkened. "As for a neutral country? Your country has the nerve to say that it is a neutral country? Don't think we don't know that your country is wearing the cloak of a neutral country and flirting with Britain and France secretly? Is this the behavior that a neutral country should do?"

"I..." The old king was about to say something, but was interrupted by the special envoy. "Your Majesty Christian, our intelligence capabilities in Germany are not just children's play; if Your Majesty wants concrete evidence, I can provide it, but then we will be at odds with each other and there will be no room for maneuver."

The muscles on the old king's face trembled a few times, and his expression changed several times. After a long while, he slowly asked. "What room does the special envoy have for you to say?"

The German envoy smiled slightly and his tone softened a lot. "Our Highness has said that as long as your country gives up resistance, you will still be the king and the cabinet will not be dismissed."

At this time, there were faint roars outside. Through the window, the old king saw a black dot appear in the distant sky. Just a moment later, another black dot appeared; the black dot became bigger and bigger, like a crescent moon. Approach slowly.

A shrill air raid siren sounded over Copenhagen. Residents in the city first heard a dense buzzing sound, and then were horrified to find an overwhelming swarm of aircraft flying from the sky not far away. Some of you with a good eye have already seen the eye-catching Iron Cross logo spray-painted on the fuselage and wings of those aircraft. "Oh my God, it's a German plane!"

This huge fleet is roughly estimated to have at least 400 to 500 aircraft. These aircraft types include BF-109 fighters, mosquito bombers, Stuka bombers, IL bombers and JU-52 transport aircraft. These fighter jets and bombers flew by in neat combat echelons, and the visual effect was quite shocking.

"Why did the German planes appear here?! Did a war break out?" Looking at the dense fleet of planes above their heads, the residents of the city almost jumped out of their eye sockets with horror, their mouths opened so wide that their jaws almost dropped to the ground. .

But before they could reach the air-raid shelter, the voice of the old King Christian X came from radios and loudspeakers everywhere. On the radio, the old king announced that "Denmark has accepted German protection and the Danish people must not resist."

The people on the street couldn't help but look at each other. Isn't this surrender?

But Danes are still very self-aware. After all, Denmark's total population was only over 3 million at this time, while Germany's total military strength exceeded 3 million. Denmark has not fought a war since 1868. It has always pursued a policy of neutrality. Its armament construction is limited to a scale that can maintain domestic stability. It currently only has a total strength of 20,000 people, and its equipment level is very backward.

It can be said that Denmark has no intention of building a strong army at all, because no matter how hard it tries to strengthen its army, it is not worth mentioning to neighboring big countries like Germany. So for the Danish defense at this time, it makes no difference whether there is an army or not.

So the people on the street returned to normal after a brief period of shock, shrugged their shoulders, and started pointing and talking about the planes in the sky.

A dozen of the transport planes were seen breaking away from the formation and flying towards the Amalienborg Palace. Soon, white umbrella flowers bloomed in the sky. The paratroopers who jumped down probably numbered a company, and they soon landed around the Amalienborg Palace.

As soon as they landed, everyone gathered at the entrance of the palace. Since the old king personally gave the order, the palace guards did not dare to stop them and allowed these German paratroopers to enter the palace and establish a defense line at the commanding heights.

A captain led a squad of soldiers to the conference room where the old king was. "Excuse me, everyone."

Gathered in this conference room were senior members of the Danish military and political circles. The German captain glanced at them and walked straight to a middle-aged man. "Your Excellency, Commander Hersogen, please." This middle-aged man is the Danish Navy Commander, Admiral Hersogen Vedel.

In the original time and space, the German army occupied Denmark and prepared to receive ships from the Royal Danish Navy. However, the Danish Navy Commander, Admiral Hersogen Vedel, was unwilling to let these ships fall into the hands of the Germans, so he ordered the navy to destroy the Danish Navy ships. All naval ships anchored in the port of Copenhagen sank or were seriously damaged.

Several ships managed to leave the port at the same time, one of which was the coastal defense ship Nils Uuel. At that time, the destination of the officers and soldiers on the ship was to sail to Sweden, but the ship was attacked by the Luftwaffe at sea. During the battle, the ship's anti-aircraft gunners destroyed a Luftwaffe aircraft. However, the battle with the Germans was obviously unequal. With no way to escape, the ship was scuttled by the crew in the waters near Zealand.

Of the 54 battleships of the Danish Navy, 32 sank to the bottom of the sea, another 4 managed to go to Sweden, and 2 went to Greenland. It was these ships that formed the Royal Danish Navy fleet in exile.

Adhering to the principle that mosquito legs are also meat, Yannick ordered the arrest of most of the Danish naval officers, including Commander Hersogen.
