Phillips didn't feel much when the bullet swept through a row of people lying behind the stone. This brisk sweeping of the ground stimulates every cell of him. He knows it's fun, but that's all.

He did not know that his machine gun bullets swept away an American major general and killed the commander of the first marine division.

Reykjavik.

The sun had set and the whole Reykjavik was in darkness.

United States command in Iceland.

Lieutenant General Alexander had a lot of blood in his eyes. He kept smoking, and the whole room became smoky.

"In other words, in one day, the Germans successfully landed in Iceland. They wiped out our entire 1st Marine Division. At the same time, they also approached our Icelandic capital."

Just one day, from morning to night, has passed. Who could have thought that the situation on this day has deteriorated so seriously!

This is the first battle between the United States and Germany, and the United States has been defeated.

"We must reinforce. If we want to hold the city and drive the Germans out of the sea, it is absolutely not enough to have our third Marine Division alone." Next to him, major general slich, the commander of the 3rd Marine Division, said.

During the day, after receiving the news that the 1st Marine Division was surrounded, they wanted to go out to rescue, but they didn't take action.

If the 1st Marine Division can't break out by relying on its own ability, their rescue will be of no use. It will only consume their troops in vain. Now, they have to defend the city of Reykjavik. They have to rely on the city to carry out street Warfare!

Unfortunately, the strength of only one division is absolutely not enough. They have no heavy weapons and effective anti tank weapons. For them, fighting is death.

They need reinforcements.

Hearing his words, Lieutenant General Alexander stamped uneasily: "so far, the White House has not replied to us."

Lieutenant General Alexander had vaguely guessed something.

There can be no reinforcements.

The reason is also very simple. The United States is now using its main forces to deal with island countries and is not ready to fight with the Germans at all.

If there are too few reinforcements and air transportation, the transport fleet must be used. In this way, it will inevitably be intercepted by the German Navy. During the blank period when a large number of ships of the US Navy are still under construction and are not in service, the United States is hard pressed to deal with island countries and has no ability to deal with the Germans at all.

In this way, if the United States sends a transport ship, it will only be sunk by Germany. If the United States transfers the main force of the Navy, what about the Pacific?

In fact, even if the United States wants to transfer now, it is too late, because ships have to come as soon as three or five days. If they come from the distant United States, one week is not enough. During this period, the whole Iceland will be planted with the German ten thousand character flag, which is too late.

What's more, without Iceland, the United States still owns Greenland.

After Denmark was conquered by Germany, the United States immediately occupied Greenland and entrusted Greenland. Compared with the vast land of Greenland, Iceland is too small. After weighing the pros and cons, the White House may have given up its plan to save Iceland.

The white house gave up, but they couldn't say it, so they simply didn't reply and watched Iceland fall into the hands of the Germans?

"No, we can't just give up." Major general slich said, "we can mobilize the citizens of Reykjavik to resist the German invasion with us. Yes, we'll go to the Prime Minister of Iceland and ask him to mobilize the people."

Lieutenant General Alexander only smiled bitterly when he heard what major general slech said.

Ask the Icelandic Prime Minister for help? Think about how your side came here. At the beginning, the Icelandic prime minister was like being strengthened. At this time, maybe people are cheering and waiting for the Germans to come!

The prime minister's office.

"The Germans have hit the suburbs." The head of the Icelandic National Police Force, ayna anades, told Icelandic Prime Minister Herman Jonathan: "the powerful American 1st Marine Division has been completely destroyed in just one day."

"In other words, Iceland has fallen under the rule of Germany and can no longer be changed." Herman said, "tonight, maybe there will be a big disaster in our capital."

Indeed, immortals fight and bring disaster to all the people. Iceland has no army, only the police force. Now there are only 70 people. The total population of Iceland is only 120000. It is definitely the most cowardly role.

The British came and Iceland had to be occupied by the British. It was a shame for Iceland.

After all, from Iceland's history, the British played the role of aggressors.

Iceland has a cold climate, but the surrounding waters are rich in fish resources, low fishing costs, but rich in protein, which is almost an important economic source for Iceland.

Due to its geographical location, the British often came to Iceland to fish. Even in later generations, Iceland also fought the "cod war" with the British for more than 20 years after the end of World War II.

Although it is only a small-scale conflict, it also shows the hatred between Iceland and the British.

Now, Iceland is reluctant to be controlled by the British and has no good feelings for the Americans who succeed Britain. In later generations, when Germany announced its surrender, the rest of Europe was jubilant, but there was a conflict between the local people and the British sailors in Iceland. British and American soldiers have made no contribution to Iceland except leaving a large number of illegitimate children.

But what good would Iceland do if it fell under German rule?

It doesn't seem to do any good.

Just then, there was a noise outside.

"No, you can't go in. The prime minister has rested." Outside came the voice of Captain Wei, and then the sound of the bolt pulling.

They looked at each other, looked at the door, and saw an American major general who opened the door and came in.

"Mr. prime minister, I'm here to ask you for help." Major general slech said: "Iceland is in the most dangerous time. Icelandic men must be mobilized to resist the German invasion."

He said he came to seek help, but his attitude was definitely an order tone. A major general could yell at the Icelandic prime minister.

When he heard slich's words, Herman immediately stiffened his face.

You garrison troops in Iceland, forget it. Now, why should Iceland participate in your war? Icelanders will never bleed for this war. It has nothing to do with Iceland!
