Chapter 236
Early in the morning on August 19, 1939 AD, Bornin, the ambassador of the Third Reich to the Fairy Tale Kingdom, met with King Christian X and Prime Minister Thorvald Stauning.
King Christian X is almost seventy years old. He has long since lost the courage to fight against powerful enemies. In addition, the Fairy Tale Kingdom was originally a weak country, so it did not dare to offend the now-powerful Third Reich.
Prime Minister Thorvald Stauning has been prime minister for ten years. In this country, it has great influence. But equally, perhaps having been in a high position for a long time has made him less ambitious than he was in his youth.
This made King Christian X and Prime Minister Thorvald Stauning face the persecution of the Third Reich ambassador. Their sibling positions were more begging the Third Reich to let them go. They did not want to get involved in the war.
But, does this work?
It's of no use at all. It is simply impossible for a weak country to ensure its own security and status in this war-torn era. In addition to fighting to the end until they are destroyed, they can only seek refuge with powerful countries and act as minions. Apart from this, there is no other way
"Your Majesty the King, Your Excellency the Prime Minister, on behalf of Your Majesty the Imperial Governor, I formally issue an ultimatum to your country. Life or death in the fairy tale kingdom is under your control. If you surrender to the Third Reich and join the Iron Alliance, the Fairy Tale Kingdom will become an ally of the empire. Once the Empire wins this war, the Fairy Tale Kingdom will also gain countless benefits from it. If the Fairy Tale Kingdom refuses to join the Iron Alliance, it will be an enemy of the Empire. The empire will use all means to defend the interests of the empire!"Ambassador Bornin held his head high.
Even though he was facing the king and prime minister of the fairy tale kingdom, he was just a diplomat. However, he also straightened his waist and held his head high.
King Christian X and Prime Minister Thorvald Stauning looked very ugly.
"Your Excellency, the Fairy Tale Kingdom has no intention of getting involved in this war. We can swear that we will remain neutral in the war and will not take sides. I beg the Third Reich to give us such a chance!"Christian X's posture was very low, almost groveling.
"Yes, Your Excellency Ambassador. The Fairy Tale Kingdom is just a weak country with a sparse population and underdeveloped industry. Our people love peace and do not want to get involved in war. So, please let the Third Reich let us go!"Prime Minister Thorvald Stauning also begged.
Ambassador Bornin shook his head:"Your Majesty the King, Your Excellency the Prime Minister, I am very sorry. This is a decision made by the Imperial Governor. I cannot change it and can only convey it to you. And you have no other choice. Either accept the empire's goodwill and become its ally. Or, become an enemy of the empire!"
King Christian X and Prime Minister Thorvald Stauning felt bitter in their hearts.
The Third Reich was clearly pressing on him step by step, leaving no room for them!
"Okay, Your Majesty the King, Your Excellency the Prime Minister. You have four hours to make your choice. After that, if you still refuse to accept the empire's goodwill. Then, he is an enemy of the empire."After the envoy finished speaking, he bowed slightly to the two of them and then left the palace.
"Prime Minister, what should we do now? asked King Christian X
"Your Majesty, now we only have the choice of surrendering to the Third Reich or going to war! Prime Minister Thorvald Stauning said
"War? Can we withstand the Third Reich? That's simply impossible! Even if we try our best to mobilize, we will be easily defeated by them. Our land will be reduced to ruins. Our citizens will die in the war."King Christian X had a look of fear on his face when he talked about this.
"Then Your Majesty, do we have no choice but to surrender to the Third Reich?" said Prime Minister Stauning of Solvay
"yield? But if we join the Iron Alliance, if the Iron Alliance loses, we will also be unlucky! The Third Reich now seems extremely powerful. But in fact, the foundation is shallow and the shortcomings are obvious. I dare to say that they will definitely fail in this war! If you are tied into a chariot by them, you are going to die!"King Christian X obviously had a very negative opinion of the Third Reich.
"So, Your Majesty, what should we do now? Prime Minister Thorvald Stauning was also troubled.

They will land in Copenhagen on time after the ultimatum time has passed.
At the airport in the north of the Third Reich, a group of BF-109 fighters, a group of JU-87 dive bombers and a group of The JU-8 medium bomber is ready to take off.
Copenhagen is not far from the northern airport of the Imperial Air Force and can be reached soon. They only need to fly there when the Marine Corps lands.
And in the Fairy Tale Kingdom On the border with the Third Reich, one armored division and two infantry divisions have completed their assembly. Chen Bing is there, ready to cross the border and enter the fairy tale kingdom.
Four hours have passed, but King Christian X still has not been able to Make a choice.
And the Third Reich's attack has already begun.
A battalion of the Third Reich Marine Corps, under the cover of the fleet, landed in Copenhagen.
During this period, they did not encounter any obstruction.
Until after the landing, They were blocked by the Royal Guards.
The two sides only fired a few shots at each other.
At this time, a large group of Third Reich fighter planes flew over Copenhagen in the sky.
Although these fighter planes did not drop bombs, when they flew over at low altitude At that time, the bombs hanging under the belly and wings were so conspicuous.
As long as these fighters were willing, Copenhagen would turn into a sea of fire.
This made the royal guards who were originally preparing to resist give up their resistance.
And Christian X The king finally lowered his head and chose to compromise._To read the underlined version of the novel, please download Feilu Novel A
