Lieutenant General Julius Rommel of Poland arrived in Berlin one day earlier than Molotov. He is now the deputy chief of staff of the Polish Army and the chief aide to Rez-Shimigvi. Like the Germans, British, Soviets and French, the Poles' wishful thinking was not successful.

Originally, Rez-Shimigvi was just planning to hold up the flag of anti-Soviet in Brest Fortress to calm the emotions of nationalists in Poland.

In his opinion, there should be no difficulty in this matter. 99% of Western Belarus gave it to the Soviet Union, and this 1% cannot be occupied by the Poles? Moreover, the Brest Fortress is the last fortress of the Pisusky defense line. It has been continuously expanded and strengthened since the Soviet-Polish war (because it swallowed Ukraine on the right bank, the Poles could not imagine maintaining peace with the Soviet Union for a long time, so they made sufficient defensive equipment). Now, a defense system has been formed that combines the fortification of the defensive zone and the fortress. If the Soviets want to attack with a strong force, they will definitely suffer heavy losses.

But he did not expect that Comrade Stalin was not afraid of losses at all! Starting from October 5, the Soviet Red Army began to attack Brest's periphery for 10 days in a row. Although he paid a considerable price, he did not make a decisive breakthrough.

But it also cost the Poles a considerable price. More than 6,000 casualties were missing, and more than 80 7TP tanks were completely destroyed and unable to be repaired. In addition, hundreds of cannons were destroyed in artillery battles and bombing of Soviet aircraft.

The losses of personnel were not enough to supplement. After all, the Polish nation has more than 20 million people, and the Germans have successively released most of the prisoners. Rez-Shimigvi has enough lives to consume. However, the loss of weapons and equipment made the Polish marshal helpless.

Although Poland also has a certain industrial foundation, it cannot be compared with the Soviet Union after all. And now Poland has lost the developed areas in the west, Lviv's coal mine (which became the raw material collection site for Germany) and the supply of parts from Britain and France. The output of various weapons and equipment cannot meet the consumption of the Brest front line at all. It is not a problem to fight for ten days and half a month. If it is sold for a few months, Poland's weapons and ammunition inventory will be exhausted.

In addition, the Polish Air Force had long been swept away by Germany. Now the air on both sides of the Bug River is completely dominated by Soviet aircraft. Although the ground forces of the Soviet Red Army did not cross the river, their aircraft did not have this restriction. As long as the weather is in good condition, Soviet aircraft would bombard the targets west of the Bug River!

Faced with such a dilemma, Polish Marshal Rez Himigvi had to turn to his original arch-rival Germany.

"Lt. General Rommel," said Hessmann to the visiting Polish lieutenant general in the reception room of the General Staff, "Natalie has long told me about your request. But we cannot provide you with our own weapons and equipment, because we have special relationships with the Soviet Union."

In fact, Hessmann had no "specific position" in the battle situation east of the Bug River. If Poland could persist on its own, then Germany could not occupy Poland because Poland showed its value as a meat shield! If the Polish people were not good, then the German army would enter peacefully under the welcome of the Polish people!

In either case, it is good, and Germany does not need to support Poland's resistance too much.

"But we can support you in producing weapons and ammunition to resist the Soviet Union," Hessman smiled and said, "I have told you this opinion through Natalie before. If Poland handed over the arsenal, aircraft manufacturing plant and tank plant to our people for management... it is not our General Administration of Arms, but a German company. Then I promise that production will definitely increase in the short term."

Lieutenant General Rommel of Poland knew that the Germans wanted to take this opportunity to completely control Poland's industry and turn Poland into a vassal of the German economy.

But Rez-Shimigvi and the Polish government are now in a difficult situation, and the banner of "resisting Russia and saving the country" has been raised. If the impoverished Brest is abandoned, how can the Polish government and Rez-Shimigvi step down?

Moreover, even if Brest is abandoned, it does not mean that the war can end. No one dares to sign the treaty between Western Belarus and Ukraine on the right bank. In this way, the war must continue... or the Polish government "requests" Germany for protection!

"We can let the German company take over the arsenal," Lieutenant General Julius Rommel was silent. "But we have no aircraft that can be used to fight against the Soviet Union. Now what we lack the most is fighter jets..."

"You have p.24," Hessman smiled, "Just have it. Leave it to Anthony Folk...I promise he can turn this plane into an eagle that can fight against Soviet aircraft. All you have to do is to re-summon the pilot."

p.24 is a derivative of p.11, with better engines (French goods), so it has stronger combat power. However, the Polish Air Force does not use it and exports it all, so the Luftwaffe did not encounter them.

...

"Marson, the next thing I want to meet is Major General Rosenberg, Vice Chairman of the Army Policy Association." Major Albert Schnez immediately entered Hessman's office after Rommel in Poland left.

"Major General Rosenberg was urgently requesting a meeting. He flew directly from Oslo," said Major General Schnez.

Alfred Rosenberg was Hessman's earliest secretary. He joined the Military Intelligence Bureau and Stacey with Hessman. He was once a superior to Hitler. However, after Hitler came to power, he did not promote him much. Now he is still following Hessman. He is the head of the Army Policy Association and is also in charge of the affairs of the National Socialist Party International. His liaison with foreign social parties is now under his charge.

"Marson," Rosenberg walked in with excitement. As soon as he entered the door, he told Hessman a great news. "Former Norwegian Defense Minister Vedkon Gisling hopes to take office with our support!"

Vedkon Gisling was the leader of the Norwegian National Unification Party. The Norwegian National Unification Party also pursued the national socialist line and was a member of the National Socialist International. Vedkon Gisling himself served as Minister of Defense from 1931 to 1933.

However, his Norwegian National Unified Party is not a major Norwegian party and it is impossible to take office through the democratic elections. Therefore, launching a coup is the most feasible way for Gisling to seize power.

"Sit down and say," Hessman showed an interesting expression, waved at Rosenberg, and asked him to sit in a high-backed armchair opposite him. "How much power does Gisling have to rely on?"

Now that the German army has peacefully entered Denmark, it is only a strait from Oslo, the capital of Norway. It is not difficult to occupy Norway by force. Moreover, because Britain's control over Iceland and the Faroe Islands has formed an "island chain", if Germany wants to break through, it must take Norway and then use Norway as a base to launch air strikes on the Shetland Islands and the Faroe Islands.

Therefore, controlling Norway is an inevitable choice. The current problem is just how to control it?

"Gisling has a stormtrooper, and he has many followers in the Norwegian army." Alfred Rosenberg seemed very excited, "Col. Conrad Sundro, the commander of the garrison in the port of Narvik, is his man."

Unfortunately, he was not the commander of Oslo's garrison. Hessman thought that Germany had indeed made no effort to occupy Norway in history. This Gislin was indeed an indelible contribution, but he himself did not have enough power to seize power.

"With these forces, it is possible that the coup will be successful?" Hessman asked with some doubt.

"Of course not," Rosenberg said, "Norwegian National Unification Party needs our help."

"Help?" Hessman asked, "How to help?"

"Brandenburg Special Forces (formerly Miuta Special Forces)!" Rosenberg said, "It can raid Oslo, control the Norwegian government and the king with the help of Gisling, and then force the Norwegian king to appoint Gisling as prime minister."

The plan was feasible, Hessman thought, but it was not a coup, but an invasion, which was not in line with Germany's current policies.

"No, don't do this for now," Hessman shook his head. "If you want to invade, it is not enough to rely on Brandenburg's special forces alone... We should try to strengthen Gisling's strength. He should be like a real national socialist, not a puppet who can only rely on foreign teams to support him."

"Admiral, you mean..."

Hessman said: "The British occupied Iceland and the Faroe Islands a few days ago... This is an invasion of Denmark! And their next target is the Norwegian northern port of Narvik, and then the Yelival iron ore in northern Sweden to cut off our iron ore supply. Now, Norway, Sweden and Denmark are all facing the possibility of British invasion, and Germany should support them in self-defense.

If Norway and Sweden do not want to rely on Germany's protection to survive like Denmark, then they should strengthen their national defense. Because neutrality without national defense cannot be maintained!"

In the past few days, Germany's propaganda and intelligence departments have been working at full speed to spread the news that Britain will soon invade Norway and Sweden. Moreover, in the country of Norway and Sweden, some people are worried that they will follow in Iceland's footsteps.
