In the quiet offshore of Denmark, a warship appeared at sea level, followed by the second and third. The German Navy's high seas fleet's first large-scale support operation was to protect the army and landing forces from all over Denmark.

With a command, 40 carrier-based Stuka bombers taken off from four German aircraft carriers took off one after another, formed into formation in the sky, and flew quickly towards the pre-selected target.

On the bridge of the Imperial aircraft carrier, Lütjens, his chief of staff and adjutant stared at the charts to analyze the subsequent progress of the battle. In order to seize Denmark, the two German outlets were connected together. This offensive plan has been carefully studied by the German side for a long time.

"This batch of aircraft will destroy anti-aircraft guns arranged on the shore, as well as the Danish Air Force Airport near Copenhagen. We have paratroopers airborne here and here, so our planes need to support these areas and destroy the resistance of the Danish defenders." The chief of staff pointed to the map and said, "We will cruise the second batch of aircraft here to cover the air force to bomb Copenhagen and force the Danish defenders to surrender."

"What about coast guard? I think everyone knows why we are here." Lütjens pointed to the periphery of his fleet and drew a sea area with his hands. "We analyze that the British Navy will come out this time and fight us in a decisive battle here. That's why our fleet was sent here, with the main purpose of imitating the British Navy and Denmark joining forces."

"General." The Chief of Staff pointed to several red dots on the map and introduced: "According to your instructions, at 4:21 am today, we sent out four destroyers equipped with new radars. Here, here, here and here and here, there were also here and here."

The carrier-based aircraft liaison officer on the side also pointed to some areas on the map and said to Lütjens: "General, the air force is patrolling these areas, and the periphery is almost foolproof. If the British Navy appears, we have at least 100 nautical miles of distance and more than half an hour to respond."

"Send a signal to the surrounding destroyers and cruisers to pay attention to sonar monitoring. I don't want the British to take advantage of the loopholes." Lütjens nodded at last and ordered.

Lütjens was really very cautious. He could say that he cherished the opportunity to lead the troops alone to carry out the mission. Commander Raider performed averagely in several naval battles and was arranged by Akado to be the "Naval Staff Chief" in Berlin with no real power, while he commanded the high seas fleet as the fleet commander to Denmark.

This was Akado's reward for him to command the battle off the Netherlands, and a bold attempt to find a qualified aircraft carrier fleet commander. Lütjens could only carefully complete his established mission and dare not make any mistakes. Because if he was wrong, there would be no chance to go back to Berlin to become a staff officer.

The main force of the German attack this time was part of the H-Corp. The total force was about 7 divisions. Although these troops were newly formed, most of their skeletons were veterans who had participated in the National Defense Forces, so their combat capabilities should be much stronger than those of Denmark.

However, compared with the main German troops in France, this unit still lacks heavy weapons and equipment - most of them are light infantry divisions, and only a small number of regiment artillery equipped with No. 3 assault guns. However, this unit is used to deal with the Danish defenders, which is already considered a terrifying killer.

The responsible persons to cooperate with this force are all the main forces of the Navy's High Seas Fleet, as well as the Air Force's 200 fighter jets and 110 bombers. Of course, these troops are not prepared to deal with Denmark, but are guarding against the interference of the British Navy while preparing for the war to invade Norway.

Akado and many German generals and merchants were attracted by Norway's high-quality iron ore. Akado hoped to obtain these iron ore by invading Norway to form his armored forces cheaper and more efficiently. On the other hand, his air force and navy were looking forward to the increase in the output of weapons brought by Norway's metal. At least Redel was coveting the expansion of the naval fleet to eight aircraft carriers.

Taking Denmark is only the first step to capture Norway and also the first step to expand the navy. Taking Denmark, the German Navy's Kiel Military Port can echo William's port without restrictions and obtain a safe outlet for the entire Baltic Sea.

If Norway is further captured, a good situation can be formed where naval ports are connected. Norway has many ports facing the Atlantic Ocean and difficult to blockade by the UK, and there are long coastlines for the navy to attack in covertly, which is enough to threaten more than half of the UK's local transportation lines.

Strategically, Denmark is not that important. Apart from being a gathering area for combat against Norway, it only has the purpose of the estuary of the German Baltic port.

Of course, as a country bordering Germany, Akado still feels that Denmark must be under some control. On the other hand, Denmark's territory is small and relatively flat, and is an ideal location for the German army to fight. Compared with the huge German army, Denmark's weak army does not have much possibility of successfully resisting.

In fact, it was indeed as Akado expected. The German army launched an attack on the Danish army in the morning. Only some Danish troops fought with the German army on the border, and the rest chose to surrender. After fierce fighting, the Danish defenders died 77 people, while the German army lost only 19 soldiers. Then the German army crossed the border and entered Danish territory.

Under the cover of German destroyers, 1,000 German troops landed directly from the port of Copenhagen. A Danish King Royal Guard stationed in the port started fighting with the landing German troops. The Danish defenders had already controlled the situation, but they did not expect that the German support could come so quickly.

After more than ten minutes of the battle, 20 D0-217 bombers of the Luftwaffe roared across the sky. Faced with the threat of the Luftwaffe's obvious intention to bomb Copenhagen civilians, the elderly king surrendered almost immediately and accepted all the conditions Akado gave him, including Germany's right to manage domestic affairs in Denmark.

Just a few minutes after the Danish king surrendered, the bombers that took off from the Navy flew to their attack position. As a result, before they even started dropping bombs, they were called back by the instructions sent from the aircraft carrier.

"What? Surrender?" Lütjens was a little unbelievable that Denmark would surrender so simply. He felt that at least some local war would lead to the end of the entire Denmark. However, he did receive a call from Weix, the commander of the H Group Army, claiming that Denmark had surrendered.

Nearly 30,000 soldiers were waiting to enter Denmark. They thought it would be another great battle, but it turned out to be a reception ceremony. Paratrooper Lieutenant Platoon Leader Borol was airdropped to the edge of a Denmark airport. He gathered his own troops and rushed into the airport to fight. When he found that there was a white flag hanging at the gate of the defenders, and the Denmark defenders were actually drinking tea in the barracks...

The scene was very strange. Borole was holding an mp-44 assault rifle. Baru, behind him, held a grenade in his hand. The two of them stood at the door, frightened by the scene in the room and didn't know what to do.

The Danish officers in the room were holding coffee cups, and the strong tea inside was still steaming. Some of the other soldiers were lying on the bed reading, while others were gathering together to feed their pet dogs.

The awkward atmosphere lasted for a long time until the Danish officer spoke. The officer walked to the door, handed the coffee cup in his hand to Borol, and said with a smile: "We have surrendered. If you think you can, have a cup of tea together?"

The German army carefully prepared the invasion, which happened to collide with Denmark's complete surrender, so Germany took Denmark with little blood, creating a war myth that destroyed a country in one day. Of course, the main reason for Denmark's surrender without hesitation was that the British Royal Navy temporarily lost control of the sea, and Denmark itself could not resist the German attack independently.

It's like hitting a cotton punch. It's like practicing martial arts for ten years and then finding out that his enemy is old. After seeing the report of Denmark's surrender, Akado was so amused that he wanted to say a popular Internet saying in another time and space: "I even took off my pants, so you can show me this?"

Next, the German northern legion, which is the main mountain divisions of the H-Group Army, set their attack targets on Norway. Of course, this plan to invade Norway this time is no different from that in another time and space. They were all attacked by naval transport troops and occupied this iron ore producer in one breath.

However, unlike Hitler in another time and space, Akado has more aces in his hands this time, so there would be no devastating defeat in the Battle of Nalvik that year. Historically, the British Royal Navy launched fierce attacks on the German destroyer fleet in Nalvik and achieved amazing results.

In another space-time, five British destroyers sank two German destroyers here in one breath and sent almost all German transport ships to the bottom of the water. But now these British Royal Navy fleets, which were supposed to make contributions, are not in the Norwegian waters, but are chasing German submarines in the North Atlantic.

Of course, the German heavy cruiser Blüchel, which was sunk here, does not exist in the Naval Sequence of Arcador, and another sunken cruiser, the USS Konisberg, is now sailing with the Imperial aircraft carrier and cannot be sunk offshore.

Therefore, this Naval Battle of Narvik, which caused Germany to lose half of its fleet, would not happen. Akado's aircraft carrier fleet rushed in the waters of Denmark and Norway, and those shore artillery units could not achieve any decent results in the face of German aircraft carrier-based aircraft aircraft.
