After all, over the years, challengers have emerged in Europe one after another, but no one has ever been able to defeat the navy of the Sun Never Sets in a naval battle.

Even Hans himself has never done it!

So when the Sun Never Sets started the propaganda machine to carry out public opinion propaganda, the people of European countries began to doubt, and based on the inherent impression in their hearts, they were more inclined to believe the propaganda of the Sun Never Sets!

After all, from the perspective of paper strength, the navy of the Sun Never Sets is indeed stronger.

And the record promoted by the German army is more like a fake.

How is it possible that in a naval battle, without losing any warships, the enemy can still sink four battleships and capture one battleship?

Normally, shouldn’t the naval battles of various countries be fought at sea with the main guns, and each other beaten black and blue, and then see who has more firepower and stronger ability to take a beating!

Generally speaking, whoever can hold on to the end will win!

With this traditional naval battle experience, if the German propaganda is true, then even if they really defeated the British fleet and sank and captured five British battleships, they would have to pay the price of at least two or three battleships sunk and two or three battleships damaged, right?

How could there be no cost at all?

So everyone felt that the credibility of the German intelligence was very low, because they did not believe that the Germans could achieve such a brilliant record, nor did they believe that the German losses were so small!

“Führer, Norway’s attitude is still tough. It ignored our diplomatic note and rejected our condition of sending the army to take over their homeland defense!”

Foreign Minister Ribbentrop was frustrated and looked unhappy.

It’s no wonder that a small Norway with a population of only a few million has repeatedly rejected Hans’s request and does not allow Hans’ army to enter Norway to take over their national defense. This is a huge provocation for Hans!

Although from Norway’s perspective, Hans’s request is equivalent to turning them into their own colonies. Such a request is no different from a military invasion, and they are naturally unwilling to accept it.

However, from Hans’ perspective, Hans’s trend of integrating the whole of Europe is becoming more and more obvious. With Hans’ army invincible in Europe, all European countries are trembling under Hans’ iron hoof.

Almost all countries have unconditionally accepted Hans’ orders. Allow Hans’s army to enter their country, take over their national defense, and become their de facto protectorate!

Although allowing Hans’s army to enter their country will cause them to lose part of their sovereignty and dignity, they can also get a lot of benefits.

The biggest benefit is that they can ensure themselves, ensure that they will not become Hans’s prey, and will not be attacked by millions of German troops!

After witnessing the tragic battles in the Benelux countries and Gaul, all countries were deeply impressed by this war!

World War II is completely different from World War I!

Because of the service of tanks, armored vehicles and mechanized troops, coupled with the rapid rise of the air force, the war began to become three-dimensional.

And with the rapid rise of armored forces, the scope of the battlefield has further expanded, taking this Gallic Campaign as an example.

Double The area of the battle stretched from Strasbourg in the east of the Maginot Line to Groningen in the north of the Windmill Country. The width of the battlefield has exceeded 1,000 kilometers, and the depth has changed from the flat battle of World War I to a deep battle.

The warring parties not only exchanged fire everywhere in front of the battle line, but also fell into a melee behind the battle line!

In the entire battle area, the boundaries of the battlefield have been completely blurred, and there is almost no distinction between the front and the rear. The battle area is full of fronts, and extremely fierce wars have broken out everywhere!

Under the intensive artillery fire and fierce bombing of aerial bombers, the firepower of the battlefield has increased exponentially. While causing huge casualties to the enemy, it has also caused comprehensive damage to the industry, agriculture, people’s livelihood economy and other fields in the battle area!

After a war, several The wealth accumulated by generations for hundreds of years may all turn to ashes in one day!

This terrible destructive power makes all the leaders of various countries who have visited the battlefield tremble with fear!

They dare not imagine what their country will become if the war spreads to their own land?

With such a huge fear, they had no choice but to join Hans’s camp and completely turn to Hans!

Because only in this way can they be free from the invasion of war, countless civilians will not be killed and injured, and the wealth accumulated for decades will not be burned.

After joining Hans, they no longer have such security threats. As a protectorate of Hans, Hans will naturally send troops to protect their safety. Not only will he not send troops to attack them, but he will also protect them from invasion by other countries.

This is a very good security guarantee for those countries on the edge of Europe that have territorial disputes with some outside the region. It allows them to have enough confidence to negotiate with the other party on territorial issues when facing some powerful powers!

Moreover, joining the European Union led by Hans has another benefit, that is, the economies of various countries have achieved complementarity, tariffs have been reduced, trade has been increased, and the economic vitality of various countries has been activated at once. Each country can find its own way out by taking what it needs, which has reduced the impact of the economic crisis on them after joining the European Union!

Some countries can even completely get rid of the impact of the economic crisis and achieve economic take-off by relying on the vast market of the European Union!

The security and economic benefits make the European Union led by Hans more and more attractive to European countries!

At this time, the general willingness of European countries is to join Hans’ European Union.

And in such mainstream public opinion, it is really rare to have a loyal lackey like Norwegian!

“The Norwegians were simply deceived by the fake news of the British Empire. Christopher was supported by the British Empire, so it is normal for him to stand on the side of the British Empire!”

Mainz was not surprised by the Norwegian’s repeated jumps. Sometimes, some lackeys are even crazier than their owners.

This kind of thing has never been uncommon throughout the ages. For example, the current Norwegian Empire and the later Australia are all such people.

For such lackeys, if they are not taught a lesson, they will not know how powerful they are!

“Führer, what should we do now?”

Ribbentrop was relieved to see Mainz’s confident look.

“This is easy. Since the British want to fight a war of public opinion, let’s let them get what they want!”

Mainz smiled and said,”Didn’t Lütjens capture the Royal Oak battleship? Then we can hold a public exhibition in Kiel Harbor to let the world see what the battleship looks like. Oh no, let everyone see what the captured battleship looks like!”
