Chapter 1715 Sleigh Patrol

The capital of Greenland, the Governor's Palace.

Governor Eske Bren, 36, was quietly listening to the analysis of a US intelligence officer.

Back then, the rich and weak Denmark, under the attack of the Germans, surrendered on the same day.

Under the windows of Amalienborg Palace, soldiers of the Royal Danish Guard made several exchanges of fire with the Germans with rifles, almost the only resistance. Greenland is a Danish territory.

Just after the fall of Denmark, Greenland faced a choice of its own.

After Denmark surrendered, the British quickly occupied Iceland and the Faroe Islands to avoid being taken advantage of by the Germans, but Greenland was different.

Greenland is the largest island in the world. Now, there are 22,000 local residents on it. There are only limited self-defense forces. In the beginning, Greenland was almost undefended.

Later, when Germany swept across the continent, even Britain itself faced a serious threat of invasion. After consultation with the Lieutenant Governor, Bren decided to turn to the protection of the United States.

So, at the appeal of Henrik Kaufman, the Danish minister to the United States, the U.S. government declared that the principles of the Monroe Doctrine were applicable to Greenland. The United States decided to open a consulate in Gotthob, the capital of Greenland, and in this way, Greenland was under the protection of the United States.

The war is still going on, and the situation is getting worse and worse for the United States. The United States has deployed a certain amount of military forces in Greenland, especially aviation, and used Greenland as a springboard to attack Europe.

It is a pity that these actions did not stop the deterioration of the situation. For now, Greenland has reached the most dangerous time. Everyone knows that the next military action of the Germans is to invade Greenland.

"We found suspicious radio signals in the northern part of Greenland," U.S. intelligence officer Hertz said. "We suspect that the Germans have dispatched part of the weather personnel into the northern part of Greenland."

Most of Greenland is covered with ice sheets, which are not suitable for human activities at all. The temperature is low, the wind is strong, and radio signals appear in the desolate places.

"The Germans have started to collect our weather information, which means that this war is at hand," said Penfield, the U.S. consul in Greenland. "Now, we can no longer hesitate. We must mobilize the men of Greenland to help Fight to defend Greenland."

Is it like Iceland, ruled by Germany, or continue to hold high the banner of freedom and fight for a free world? Residents of Greenland will definitely make the right choice.

When the radio signal was discovered, the United States attached great importance to it, and sent reconnaissance planes frequently to conduct reconnaissance flights in the northern region. However, due to the special weather conditions in the polar regions, it was quite laborious to observe the ground in the air, and they simply could not quickly Find the target.

It is also necessary to rely on the help of the residents who were born and raised here.

"What are we going to do?" Governor Bullen asked.

"We hope to mobilize all the adult men in Greenland. Form a sleigh patrol, patrol the whole of Greenland, and search the German weather force." Penfield said.

It is not easy to find in the air, so it has to rely on the ground. Although the environmental conditions here are quite harsh, people who are born and raised here can adapt. If they are fully prepared, they will search thousands of kilometers on the ice sheet of Greenland. no problem.

Use sleigh patrols to search the ice caps, find targets, and clear them.

The Germans are cautious, if the weather conditions in Greenland are not perfectly grasped, it is impossible to launch an attack on Greenland, and the United States will get more buffer time.

Governor Bren did not hesitate: "Okay, then, as the governor, I will immediately issue a notice to the adult men on the entire island, hoping that they can stand up consciously."

There are only 9,000 adult men on the entire island, but they are definitely not ambiguous.

(The hero of East China seems to have discovered a pattern. All men in these cold regions are addicted to alcohol and aggressive. I don’t know if it’s right.)

Northeastern Greenland, Scoresby Strait settlement.

"There are Germans on our island. Now, we need to find them!" Nils, the head of the settlement, shouted.

He doesn't need to use a trumpet or do any other work. There are only 27 people in this small settlement, 26 of whom are hunters, plus a woman who cooks for them.

Niels raised his voice, and suddenly, from the wooden house in the settlement, the hunters in twos and threes came out carrying their own harpoons: "Are the Germans coming up?"

They are of different ages, the old ones are in their fifties and the young ones are less than twenty years old. The polar sunlight has made their skin a little dark, and although it is cold, they are still naked on their faces. , not at all afraid of frostbite.

They are one of the ancient peoples here, the Inuit. Their settlement is thousands of miles away from Nuuk, the capital of Greenland. Kayak, harpoon in hand, hunt narwhals in summer, and dog sledding in winter.

Kong Wu's strong arms were holding the harpoon, and their faces were full of anger: "Those guys, dare to come here? Let's find them out!"

"Come here, sign up here, we will be divided into three groups and search according to different areas." Nils said: "We still need a few people in charge of weather forecasting, and some Americans will come to be radio transmitters."

A strip of huskies ran out excitedly wagging their tails, the hunters got on their sleds and soon disappeared into the white field.

This is their home. They are familiar with every inch of the land here. On their sleds, they are pulling the fresh seal meat they had just hunted a few days ago. Even if they run out halfway, they can still hunt on the spot and get a polar bear to taste. .

Although their weapon is the harpoon, no one dares to underestimate their combat effectiveness. In this cold area, the cold will turn the strongest enemy into a sheep. In cold weather, all kinds of modern weapons will experience failure, the bolt will freeze, only the harpoon is the most effective weapon.

Find the German weather team, scoop them out, and bring them back!

Such scenes are being staged everywhere in Greenland. At this time, Greenland has not yet had the pace of urbanization in later generations, nor has the life of hunters been difficult because of melting glaciers. The men in Greenland are almost all hunters. .
