In this magnificent world war, no country can be spared.
Those powerful countries naturally want more land and more interests, while the weak countries, even if they make a neutral attitude, can not stay out of it.
This is especially true in some strategically important and sparsely populated countries.
Like Iceland.
Iceland was originally a quiet and peaceful country. As a subsidiary of Denmark, Icelanders have lived here for generations and made a living by hunting. The population of Iceland is only 120000.
They had stayed out. After Denmark was occupied by Germany, Iceland declared independence and neutrality, but the British were afraid that Iceland would fall to Germany, so Britain launched the "harpoon" operation and forcibly occupied Iceland.
This makes Icelanders very angry, but they have no way at all. The British continue to increase troops, and later the Americans. So far, there are 40000 US troops stationed in Iceland.
Under the pressure of the Americans, the Icelandic government even had to sign a joint defense agreement to lose power and humiliate the country. Iceland's own security police force has only 70 people, while the Americans have used 40000 troops!
When Britain fell, Iceland became a springboard. In the future, if the United States wants to counter attack Europe, it can only start from Iceland, seize the British Peninsula, and then use Britain as a springboard to enter the mainland.
The United States attaches great importance to Iceland.
From the map, most of Iceland is mountainous. There is a wide watna ice field in the East. The capital of Iceland is Reykjavik in the west of Iceland and fahsa Bay. It is also the main port city of Iceland.
At the beginning, the British landing began with the occupation of Reykjavik, and the main force was stationed in Reykjavik after the United States changed its defense against Iceland according to the base for arms agreement with Britain.
Now, reykjavikri is crowded with American soldiers everywhere.
In the west of Reykjavik, Cape Lecha Peninsula and kevlavik, there is a major naval aviation base, and the American aviation forces stationed here are mainly distributed here.
In later generations, Reykjavik and kevlavik have the only two international airports in Iceland, which were built by Britain and the United States in World War II. Now, these bases are still the most primitive soil runways, which were built in a hurry.
With the tight battle in the Pacific, the deployment of the United States in Iceland is not strong. There is only a squadron of P-40 fighters and some water patrol aircraft belonging to the Navy.
At present, the direction of Iceland is not tight. Although the German Navy is becoming stronger and stronger, which has become a heavy pressure on the United States in the Atlantic, Germany is now engaged in a land war with the Soviet Union, and Germany has mobilized the whole country.
Before the destruction of the Soviet Union, the Germans will certainly not go to war with the United States. During this period, the United States will defeat the island countries first, which is almost everyone's consensus.
At this time, at kevlavik base, a twin engine Martin PBM "sailor" water Patrol / bomber was preparing to take off. It is designed to supplement the insufficient number of joint PBY "Katrina", that is, it is an alternative second-line aircraft.
Every morning, it will take off and fly back at night to investigate the waters in Eastern Iceland and monitor the actions of the German Navy. Once the German Navy appears in Eastern Iceland, they will be on high alert.
Now the German Navy is too abnormal. Landing ships are built one by one, so they must be vigilant. Maybe the German Navy will come up at any time.
This huge seaplane needs nine people to operate. Now, they lined up and walked towards the seaplane. Captain Marin walked in the front. His eyes looked at the distant sky and murmured, "today is a good day to fly."
The sky is clear and cloudless. The cold current from the Arctic has weakened a lot recently. There is no strong wind. It looks very good this day.
Not far away, the base's long-range air surveillance radar was rotating. Marin looked at the eastern sky and found nothing.
This has almost become a habitual action. We should look to the east every day. If there are bombers all over the sky, it will be their doomsday.
Can Iceland hold?
In front of the strong military strength of the Germans, it's hard to say!
"Has the spare parts we need arrived?" Marlin asked.
It's very cold in Iceland. Under this climate condition, our aircraft does not adapt, and the engine occasionally breaks down, which leads to several seaplanes lying down. Now they are anxiously waiting for spare parts.
It's ready. There are only two or three.
"It is said that the spare parts will arrive today." Said the ground crew.
I hope. Usually, they only take off one aircraft and search and fly at sea. However, in case of an emergency, they may need to strengthen the search in all directions, so they need to go out. At this time, the disadvantage of insufficient number of aircraft will be shown.
He stepped on the gangway and was ready to enter the cockpit. At this time, there were black spots flying low on the sea in the distance.
What's that?
Almost at the same time as he found it, the sentry of the base also found it. Just when the lookout wanted to give an alarm, he couldn't help shaking his head. He was too surprised.
This is not a German bomber, but an ordinary Pan American airliner.
This airliner is a cross continental airliner produced by Hughes Aircraft Company. It is very similar to the German junker-290 bomber, but the coating of the fuselage shows that it is the most familiar airliner.
After entering a state of war with Germany, Hughes could not obtain German engines. Therefore, the number of such special intercontinental airliners in the United States was certain. Later, all of them were requisitioned by the United States.
It is said that the latest bomber in the United States almost imitates this airliner.
This airliner takes almost three days to make a round trip. A large number of supplies urgently needed by the transportation base are transported by ships, such as supplies, weapons and ammunition needed by 40000 U.S. troops, and the urgently needed supplies are transported by aircraft. It seems that the spare parts needed by our side are also in this airliner.
"Start the engine." After entering the cockpit, Marin said that at this time, they are still in the apron. After starting, they will slide to the runway. Now, while waiting, the passenger plane has entered the landing route.
The engines on both sides were rumbling. After a few minutes of slow train and waiting to slide to the runway, the passenger plane had landed. The natural and unrestrained majestic posture makes people look very spectacular.
The plane landed accurately and taxied forward.
