Chapter 534: Infiltration
Denmark is a small country with an area of 40,000 square kilometers, but it has a colony of 60,000 square kilometers, which is a miracle.
This colony is Greenland.
Greenland, in Danish, means green land. But Greenland is close to the North Pole, with ice and snow all year round. What it lacks most is green. The reason why it is called Greenland is that more than a thousand years ago, a Norwegian pirate named Eric sailed far away and happened to encounter the only place suitable for human survival at the southern end of Greenland. He was blinded by the fact that there were polar bears on the island, so the pirate called it Greenland, and it was spread by word of mouth.
Norway occupied Greenland from 982 to 1261 AD. It was not until 1380 AD that Denmark and Norway formed a pair of assistance. The territory of the big brother Norway was naturally the territory of Denmark. But who would have thought that the Danish mouse ate the elephant. In 1841, Denmark ate Norway instead, and Greenland naturally became the territory of Denmark. After Norway became independent, of course it was not convinced. I have played for hundreds of years, and you have only played for a few years? But Norway went to international court in 1933 and lost. Denmark was content to take over and became the ruler of Greenland.
Germany occupied Denmark and Greenland with almost no effort.
If you only look at the distance on the map, you will find that Greenland is a very good frontier base. As long as an airport is built here, large cities such as New York and Washington in the northeastern United States are within the combat radius of German long-range bombers. In order to avoid irritating the United States, no military bases were built in Greenland before, and only a few weather stations were built on several coastlines. Now that they have fallen out with the United States, there is nothing to be polite about, and the German army has started construction here.
However, it is not easy to build a base here. Almost most of Greenland is within the Arctic Circle. The whole island is extremely cold all year round. It is a typical cold climate. The summer temperature in coastal areas can reach above zero degrees, and the inland part is frozen all year round. This is a completely ice and snow world, which is simply not something that ordinary people can bear.
Fortunately, there is a country whose people are quite cold-resistant. They can roll around naked in the snow, take a hot sauna and then go for an ice swim... This country is Finland.
In the Finnish War, if it hadn't been for Germany's strong support, Finland would have been flattened by the Soviet Union long ago. The Finnish people are very grateful to Germany. The resolution to join the European Union was passed by a high vote in a referendum not long ago. And with Yannick's words, Finland immediately allocated a division of troops to Greenland to participate in construction and defense.
That evening, a small plane took off from Canada and was approaching Greenland. Fearing that the German army had deployed radar in Greenland, the plane flew very low, almost close to the sea surface. The crew in the cabin could even see schools of fish swimming on the sea surface.
"Five minutes to prepare!"
The pilot had already seen the land in the distance and reminded loudly.
Davis, who was dozing off, suddenly opened his eyes and began to check the parachute bag on his body.
Although the plane took off from Canada, they were authentic Americans. The mission of this trip was to sneak into Greenland secretly and scout the deployment of the Germans.
To avoid being discovered, they deliberately chose a small plane, which was so small that it could barely accommodate the five of them and their supplies. They had no support on the island, so they had to prepare all the food and drinks themselves. Davis felt a little overwhelmed when he thought of this. He didn't know which idiot had made this plan, and there was not even a support person. Could it be that they were left to be wild people in the mountains?
Just as he was complaining in his heart, the pilot pushed the joystick, and the small plane flexibly drilled into the mountainous area.
"Prepare for parachuting!" Davis yelled. After all, he was here, and he couldn't sit back shamelessly. Even if he sat back, he would have to go to military court.
Pulling the door open, the icy cold wind instantly filled the entire cabin, making people shiver. This time was not a normal high-altitude parachuting. In order to reduce the weight of the parachute, they didn't even wear winter coats, but only leather jackets. The cold wind poured in from the collar, freezing him and giving him goose bumps all over his body.
Davis gritted his teeth and pushed several supply boxes out of the cabin first, and then several people jumped out of the cabin one after another.
After landing on the ground in a somewhat embarrassing manner, Davis quickly folded up the parachute and buried it in the snow. There may be a German patrol here. If the parachute is discovered, it will definitely be known that someone has infiltrated and a large-scale search will be launched.
After burying the parachute, James went to search for others. Fortunately, the other four people were unharmed.
Next, they had to find the supply boxes that were dropped. Food, drink, clothing and daily necessities were all in those supply boxes. If they couldn't find them, they wouldn't even make it tonight.
Fortunately, they were lucky. After searching for more than 20 minutes, they finally found a supply box. Several people ran to the supply box. Just as they were about to take out the winter coat inside, several snow piles around them suddenly jumped up, and several black guns were pointed at them.
"Don't move!" These people were all wearing white combat uniforms, snow-white from head to toe, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed. It almost blended into the surrounding snowy environment, no wonder Davis and his team noticed something strange.
Facing the muzzle of the gun, several people naturally did not dare to move, but looked at each other in confusion. These people did not speak German or Danish. Davis asked carefully. "Who are you?" But he also noticed that these people were holding German weapons. No matter who they were, they were obviously from the German side.
One of them replied in broken English. "We are Finns." They were patrolling nearby when they suddenly saw a plane flying overhead. From the direction the plane came from, they knew it was not German. They immediately reported the situation to the base and chased in the direction the plane flew.
People naturally couldn't catch up with the plane, but after a while they saw several large boxes on the ground.
The patrol leader immediately decided to ambush here and let those people fall into the trap.
"What did I say? These idiots must come to find these equipment, otherwise they will freeze to death in the mountains." The patrol leader, who was showing off his wisdom to the rest of the team members, suddenly pulled the trigger without warning.
"Bang, bang, bang!" Davis, who was holding a pistol in his hand, had more than a dozen blood holes on his chest and fell down weakly. The patrol leader had killed three Soviet soldiers in the Soviet-Finnish War, and shooting and killing people was a piece of cake for him.
"Don't move!" He shouted a few words in broken English, but these few shots were obviously more effective than any order, and the remaining four people raised their hands tremblingly.
