Chapter 821: Determined

What happened in the Far East was sent back to S.H.I.E.L.D. as soon as possible.

Rush was attacked in the International Settlement, four bodyguards were killed on the spot, and his whereabouts are currently unknown.

At this time, the Germans launched the "White Lightning" offensive and attacked Denmark and Norway on April 9, announcing that they would protect the neutrality of the two countries.

In fact, when Britain and France asked to use the channel to support Finland, Germany had already decided on the next attack target, Norway.

A new member of the newly formed war cabinet, Churchill proposed at the beginning of the year that in order to limit the development and manufacturing of German industry, it should be blocked by sea.

German industry relies heavily on iron ore from Sweden, which is shipped via the Norwegian port of Narvik and Sweden's Luleå.

Among them, the port of Narvik will not be iced in winter, which can ensure a year-round supply.

Churchill has repeatedly proposed the deployment of minefields in the Norwegian waters, which can force transport ships to infiltrate into the North Sea, making it easier for the Royal Navy to intercept them.

But Chamberlain vetoed his proposal, fearing negative comments from neutral countries.

When the "Winter War" broke out, Churchill once again put forward the mine-laying proposal, which was again rejected by Chamberlain.

When Britain and France finally made up their minds to save Finland, Churchill's concerns were also taken seriously. The Allied forces planned to land in Norway. After laying out minefields, the troops crossed Sweden and entered Finland, just enough to cut off the iron mines that Sweden supplied to the Germans along the way.

The purpose of Britain and France did not escape the eyes of the little dwarf, so he threatened the two countries and would launch an armed invasion once they were released.

Britain and France also wanted to put pressure on Norway and Sweden to agree to their plan, but Finland's summation made them lose their reason.

Sensed by Britain and France's plot to cut off the ore supply, the little man, who hadn't paid much attention to it before, had to turn his eyes to the side again.

If the attack on Norway was due to its importance, then Denmark suffered completely out of nowhere.

In fact, its existence is equivalent to "chicken ribs", which are tasteless to eat and a pity to discard.

However, as a gateway to Sweden, Germany still "reluctantly" included it in its territory, claiming that it took only 4 hours in one day.

When the German army landed from the port of Copenhagen, before the king's royal guard fired a few shots, several bombing formations roared in the sky.

Facing the strategic decision of the Luftwaffe with the obvious intention of bombing civilians and causing panic, the old old king immediately announced his surrender in exchange for autonomy in domestic affairs.

The witty old king was appreciated by the little dwarf. In order to commend the old king for his understanding of current affairs, the little dwarf agreed to his request and treated Denmark extraordinarily gently.

Even the arrest of the Danish Jews was postponed. From the standpoint of Denmark, the old king is undoubtedly wise.

With Denmark's national strength, even if it fights to the death with the Germans, more people will only die in the end.

Norway is the next stark example, and after it, the French will pay for their ignorance.

"From another standpoint, there is nothing wrong with Chamberlain's policy. Appeasement can keep Britain out of the war.

Let Germany grow stronger and can effectively fight against the Soviet Union. If the little head of state has no problem here, he will not cross the strait and start a war with Britain. "

In the think tank office, Ben pointed to the brain and said with a smile.

Recently, he has been in a good mood. The war in Europe has made everyone busy, and the company under Li Zitao's name is also very busy.

What is more worthy of celebration is that he heard some news from the Far East.

Although he was sad about his kidnapping and disappearance, thinking about how he treated him made Ben feel a deep anger in his heart.

"I pulled you out of hell and what did you do to me, fuck my wife, you bastard."

Ben really wanted to tell him these words before he died if he could, but I'm afraid there will never be another chance.

"These are just speculations,

What if Germany chooses to go to war with Britain after occupying Europe? "Someone questioned.

"Then he is a sinner through the ages, and once Germany turns its direction and invades the East, he will be the hero of Britain." Ben said affirmatively.

"It's pointless to say that now, Britain is tied to the war chariot, and there is no way out of it anyway,

Besides, there was the new cabinet minister who was pompous and thought he was born to be a big shot. "

Li Zitao sat on the red velvet high-backed chair at the top, and said with a blank expression.

Among the nine present, he was probably the one with the most complicated mood.

Regarding Rush's question, Li Zitao has been thinking about how to communicate with Ben. Although he did something wrong, Ben's way of coping also made him feel dissatisfied.

The Brain Nine has always been the core brain in his industry, holding too many secrets about the company under his name.

If Ben hadn't been able to deal with it and killed him with a sniper on the night he was taken away, Li Zitao would have had to ask someone he arranged to do it himself.

What annoyed him even more was that Joanna was the woman who made his two most powerful think tanks dirty.

Can't you find someone to cheat on, or just choose to have sex after divorce?

Based on Li Zitao's understanding of Ben, if Joanna chooses to divorce, although he will be emotionally depressed for a while, he will recover soon and resolve the matter thoroughly.

Even if the result is worse, Joanna and Rush open their relationship and choose to remarry, Ben will choose to respect, and at most they will treat each other as transparent when they work together.

But the current situation is that she is like a powder keg, and she doesn't know when it will ignite the emotions in Ben's heart again.

"The French put all their bets on the Maginot Line, but here... the Ardennes, the Ardennes Forest on the border between Luxembourg, Belgium and France, they don't seem to have any plans?"

The discussion about the war situation in Europe is still going on, Li Zitao's heart moved when he heard this, and he calmly said: "Maybe the Germans will choose to attack from there."

Everyone gathered face to face, shaking their heads in thought: "It's unlikely, the advantage of the Germans lies in the popularity of mechanization, and those tanks can't go through the complex forest."

"I think the situation is as everyone guesses, the Germans will still choose to attack by bypassing Belgium as they did in World War I."

"A plan that everyone can guess, would the Germans really choose such a stupid plan?" Li Zitao pointed his hand at the Arden Forest on the map where the Three Kingdoms were connected.

"Here...maybe the key to the war." Li Zitao said firmly.

After 20 minutes, the meeting ended, and a condensed version of the meeting discussion was passed to Hans's office in SHIELD.

After reading the contents of the briefing, Hans immediately ordered the secretary to prepare the car, and he was going to Washington for a meeting immediately.
