Chapter 203: Dutch Surrender

After much hesitation, King Harald finally accepted the agreement.

"His Majesty the King has made a wise decision, and the Norwegian people will be grateful for your decision." The German envoy flattered and took back the agreement signed by King Harald. "Now please move your Majesty, our Highness has prepared a small performance feast for Your Majesty."

"..." Although he didn't know what medicine the German envoy was selling in his gourd, King Harald still followed his request and led a group of high-level officials to the top of a mountain outside Oslo. On the other side of the mountain was a desolate no-man's land.

At this time, the huge fleet of aircraft had been divided into several flight formations and flew to the designated landing site. There are still more than a hundred aircraft circling in the sky in the distance.

The German envoy looked at the Norwegian senior officials with different expressions around him and gave instructions to his subordinates. "Tell them the audience is seated and the show can begin."

"Yes." The man returned to the car and started tinkering with the radio.

After a while, I saw a four-engine aircraft break away from the formation, fly towards this side, and drop a bomb more than ten kilometers away from them. Everyone saw that after the bomb was dropped, the plane suddenly jumped upwards visible to the naked eye. It seemed that the weight of the bomb was not light.

Sure enough, the size of the bomb that fell was a bit scary. The length of the bomb seemed to be at least seven or eight meters, and the diameter of the bomb was unheard of. Under the horrified eyes of everyone, the bomb that fell hit the ground hard and disappeared.

It was indeed "smashed" in. This bomb was a replica of the British "Grand Slam" super bomb. The projectile weighs 10 tons, has a height of 08 meters and a diameter of 17 meters.

In 1942, British engineer Barnes Wallis accepted the request of the Royal Air Force and successfully developed the 6-ton "Tallboy Bomb". The bomb was extremely powerful in actual combat, especially playing a decisive role in sinking the battleship Tirpitz. On this basis, Wallis began the development of a 10-ton bomb, and the new bomb was named the "grand slam bomb" (also known as the Big Bang).

Its interior was filled with 4,144 kilograms of aluminum powder mixed with D1 high explosive. The Grand Slam bomb has an armor-piercing core in its head, with a penetration depth of 40 meters into soil and up to 6 meters into concrete. It is the largest explosive ever produced by mankind before the advent of nuclear weapons, and it is also the largest explosive ever used in actual combat.

It’s just that the Grand Slam’s excessive size is not convenient for assembly line production. In order to meet the high precision of casting and machining, most parts are hand-carved by experienced workers. For example, in order to improve penetration, the Grand Slam warhead casing is made of high-strength steel that has been specially hardened. The warhead requires a high degree of symmetry during the machining stage to ensure optimal aerodynamics.

"..." Just when everyone was looking at each other, there was a muffled sound of "Boom--" and the entire earth began to tremble violently. As if an earthquake was coming, some loose stones on the mountain tumbled down. Several people couldn't stand still and fell to the ground.

I saw a big lump suddenly bulging out from the ground where the giant bomb had just penetrated, and countless flames shot out from the cracks everywhere. A few seconds later, the bulging ground suddenly collapsed, and a huge pit appeared. It was too far away to see how deep it was, but it was shockingly large.

The German envoy looked at the pale-faced people and smiled slightly. "Then I'll take my leave, everyone. I wish you all a pleasant afternoon." After saying that, he bowed, got into the car and drove away.

"Oh God!" After a long time, King Harald sighed feebly and asked the attendant who was supporting him. "Do you think the palace's air-raid shelter can stop such a bomb?"

The attendant turned pale and said tremblingly. "Your Majesty, I'm afraid I can't."

When everyone heard His Majesty the King's words, their originally ugly faces became even more ugly. The higher-ups like them all have special air-raid shelters, but no one's air-raid shelter can protect against such a terrifying bomb.

At this moment, there was only one thought in everyone's mind. They must not offend the Germans. Otherwise, if they were attacked by such a super bomb, not even the scum would be left?

As for why Yannick came out to do this, it is entirely because of the nature of Norwegians.

Norway is close to the ocean and is densely covered with islands. It is known as the country of ten thousand islands. The territory is dotted with mountains, glaciers, and lakes, and the scenery is beautiful. However, its winters are long and the climate is cold; this climate has created the strong perseverance of Norwegians.

The people of Norway who were occupied in the original time and space did not give up their resistance. In the country, guerrilla groups of various sizes were formed. Abroad, namely in Britain, a government-in-exile was formed to call on the people to resist. At the same time, an air force was formed and participated in the Battle of Britain. A large fleet was mobilized to provide support to the Allied forces. Winter was the Soviet Union's savior against the German army. The Soviet Union used winter to block and counterattack Germany. At the same time, the Norwegian people also used the white snow to carry out constant resistance against the German army. Back then, a young Norwegian man endured for several days alone in the ice and snow, crossing the Scandinavian mountains to deliver intelligence to the Allies.

That's why Yannick gave Norway such generous conditions, and he didn't hesitate to use precious super bombs to scare them, which was regarded as coercion and inducement; he hoped to alleviate the hostility of the Norwegians, let them stay well, and cause less trouble for the German army.

More than a hundred planes in the sky began to return, but they did not return directly to Germany, but took a detour through the Netherlands.

William II's father was Frederick III, and his mother, Princess Victoria Adelaide Marie Louise, was the eldest daughter of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert of the United Kingdom.

Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands is the daughter of William III and Princess Emma. Princess Emma is a sister of one of the daughters-in-law of Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom. That is, Queen Victoria's daughter-in-law is also a princess of the Waldeck Pyrmont family.

In short, the sister of the wife of William II's mother's younger brother is Wilhelmina's mother. In other words, Wilhelmina is the niece of William II's uncle. According to the Chinese kinship name, Wilhelmina is William II's cousin.

After the defeat of World War I in the original time and space, William went into exile in the Netherlands. Article 227 of the Treaty of Versailles clearly stipulates that William II will be designated as a war criminal, indicating that the crimes he committed violated international morality and the sanctity of treaties (such as Germany's invasion of permanently neutral Belgium). But Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands refused to extradite him for trial and ignored the appeal of the Allied Powers. William II got a small castle in Doorn, Huis Doorn, because of his relationship with the queen, and lived out the rest of his life there.

So when the German envoy told Wilhelmina that the purpose of this trip was to "persuade surrender", the queen was stunned for a while, and it took a long time for her to recover, with a look of anger on her face. "We in the Netherlands have always remained neutral. I don't understand why Crown Prince Yannick would do something that disregards international morality, such as declaring war on a neutral country? Doesn't he know that attacking a neutral country is an extremely bad act, and declaring war on a neutral country is equivalent to declaring war on the whole world? His Majesty William II would not agree to do this!"

Listening to the queen's series of questions, the German envoy couldn't help but curl his lips in his heart.

Neutrality?

You are so shameless to say it. The Netherlands and Britain and Germany are all relatives. Didn't they do business with both sides in the last war? British brother! Do you want me to help you build ships to kill the Germans? German brother! Do you want me to help you build ships to kill the British?

But he still responded to the Queen politely. "Your Majesty, you must know that the Red Empire in the East is becoming increasingly powerful, eyeing Europe covetously, and invading Europe is a matter of time. And our European countries are still scheming for their own tiny interests all day long, and do not know how to unite and cooperate. For this reason, Your Highness decided to integrate the power of the whole of Europe to counter future crises and save the European people from the ravages of the Red Empire. For this reason, Your Highness even did not hesitate to bear the stigma of attacking neutral countries. What a great sense of justice and noble integrity. Looking at the world today, who can compare with it?"

This envoy is obviously also a brainwashed fan, and he is talking about the greatness of Yannick, and he is so moved that he almost sheds tears.

He took a deep breath, tried to calm down his excited emotions, and ignored Wilhelmina who was stunned by this "shameless robber theory", and continued. "As for our King William II, he entrusted the whole of Germany to His Highness Yannick a few years ago. Even if you call His Highness William now, it will not change his decision at all. Moreover," the envoy took out his pocket watch and looked at it. "In 20 minutes, all the major cities in the Netherlands will become a sea of ​​fire."

"What do you mean by this? Are you threatening me?" Wilhelmina felt that something bad was going to happen, and a deep sense of uneasiness filled her heart.

The German envoy smiled. "This is not a threat! I am just stating a fact that is about to happen. In 20 minutes, thousands of bombers will visit major cities in the Netherlands."

"What?! There are civilians in the city!" Wilhelmina said angrily. "You just kept saying that Crown Prince Yannick wanted to save the European people from being ravaged, but you want to massacre our people?"

The German envoy responded coldly. "Your Majesty! All great achievements throughout history require sacrifice. The sacrifice of a few people today is for the happiness of the majority in the future. And with just one word from you, even these few people don't have to die."

A secretary ran into the reception room in panic. "Your Majesty, a large number of aircraft are approaching the border."

"Oh my God! Are you really crazy?!" Wilhelmina screamed. "I agree! I agree to surrender! Stop your actions immediately! I agree to any conditions you have!"
