Chapter 1500 No Reinforcements

Phillips didn't feel much as the bullet swept through a row of people lying behind rocks. This kind of refreshing swipe to the ground stimulates every cell in him, he knows it is very enjoyable, but that's all.

He didn't know that his machine gun bullets swept away an American major general and killed the division commander of the 1st Marine Division.

Reykjavik.

The sun had set, and the whole of Reykjavik was plunged into darkness.

U.S. Command in Iceland.

There were a lot of bloodshot eyes in Lieutenant General Alexander's eyes, and he kept smoking, and the whole room became filled with smoke.

"In other words, in one day, the Germans successfully landed on Iceland, they annihilated our entire 1st Marine Division, and at the same time, they also approached the Icelandic capital where we are."

Just one day, from morning to night, just like this, who would have thought that the situation on this day would deteriorate so seriously!

This is the first battle between the United States and Germany, and the United States has been completely defeated.

"We must have reinforcements, to defend the city, to drive the Germans into the sea, it is absolutely not enough to have our 3rd Marine Division." Beside him, Sledge, the division commander of the 3rd Marine Division said the major.

During the day, after getting the news that the 1st Marine Division was surrounded, how much they wanted to go out to rescue, but did not act.

If the 1st Marine Division cannot break out of the siege by their own abilities, then their rescue will be of no use and will only consume their troops in vain. Now, they have to stay in Reykjavik City, they To rely on the city, carry out street fighting!

It's a pity that the strength of just one of their divisions is absolutely not enough. They have no heavy weapons and no effective anti-tank weapons. For them, fighting is death.

They need reinforcements.

Hearing his words, Lieutenant General Alexander stomped his steps uneasily: "So far, the White House has not replied to us."

Lieutenant General Alexander had already vaguely guessed something.

Reinforcements are unlikely to come.

The reason is also very simple. The United States now uses its main force to deal with island countries, and is not ready to fight the Germans at all.

If reinforcements are transported by air too little, a transport fleet must be used, which will inevitably be intercepted by the German Navy. A large number of ships in the US Navy are still under construction and have not been commissioned during this blank period. , the United States is too stretched to deal with the island countries, and has no ability to deal with the Germans at all.

In this way, if the United States sends a transport ship, it will only be sunk by Germany. If the United States mobilizes the main force of the navy, what will happen to the Pacific Ocean?

In fact, even if the United States wants to mobilize now, it is too late, because the fastest time for ships to arrive is three to five days. If they come from the distant United States, a week is not enough, and during this time, the whole Iceland will be plugged in. The swastika flag of Germany is on, and the time is too late.

What's more, without Iceland, the United States also owns Greenland.

After Denmark was conquered by Germany, the United States immediately occupied Greenland and hosted Greenland. Compared with the vast land of Greenland, Iceland is too small. After weighing the pros and cons, the White House may have given up on saving Iceland. plan.

The White House gave up, but couldn't say it, so they simply didn't reply and watched Iceland fall into German hands?

"No, we can't just give up." Major General Sledge said: "We can mobilize the citizens of Reykjavik to join us in resisting the German invasion. Yes, we will go to the Prime Minister of Iceland now and ask him to mobilize people."

Hearing Major General Sledge's words, Lieutenant General Alexander just smiled bitterly.

Looking for help from the Prime Minister of Iceland? Thinking about how we got here, the Prime Minister of Iceland looked like he had been strengthened. At this time, people might be cheering and waiting for the Germans to come!

Prime Minister's Office.

"The Germans have already reached the outskirts of the city." Aina Arnades, head of the Icelandic National Police, told Icelandic Prime Minister Herman Jonathan: "The powerful 1st Marine Division of the Americans, in just one day, has already The whole army was wiped out."

"In other words, it is irreversible that Iceland falls under German rule," Hermann said. "Tonight, maybe there will be a catastrophe in our capital."

This is indeed the case, the gods fight and bring disaster to the people. Iceland has no army, only a police force, and now there are only 70 people. The entire population of Iceland is only 120,000. It is definitely the most cowardly role.

The British came and Iceland had to be occupied by the British, which was a shame for Iceland.

After all, from the history of Iceland, the British played the role of invaders.

Iceland has a cold climate, but the surrounding waters are rich in fish resources. The cost of fishing is low, but it is rich in protein, which is almost an important source of income for Iceland.

Due to the geographical location, the British often came to Iceland to fish. Even in later generations, after the end of World War II, Iceland fought the "Cod War" with the British for more than 20 years.

Although only a small-scale conflict, it also illustrates the feud between Iceland and the British.

Now, Iceland is reluctant to be controlled by the British, and it does not feel good about the Americans who will replace the British. In later generations, when Germany announced its surrender, while the rest of Europe rejoiced, Iceland saw clashes between local people and British sailors. The British and American soldiers had nothing to contribute to Iceland other than leaving a large number of bastard children.

But what good would it be for Iceland to fall under German rule?

There doesn't seem to be any benefit.

Just then, there was a commotion outside.

"No, you can't go in, the Prime Minister has already rested." The voice of the captain of the guard came from outside, followed by the sound of the bolt being pulled.

The two looked at each other, looked at the door, and saw an American major general who pushed open the door and walked in.

"Mr. Prime Minister, I came to you for help." Major General Sledge said, "Iceland is at its most dangerous time, and the men of Iceland must be mobilized to resist the German invasion."

He said he came to seek help, but his attitude was definitely an ordering tone. A major general could yell at the Prime Minister of Iceland.

Hearing Sledge's words, Herman's face suddenly became serious.

You are stationed in Iceland, then forget it. Now, you actually want Icelanders to participate in your war. Why is this? Icelanders will never bleed for this war, it has nothing to do with Iceland!
