Chapter 51: A New Prelude
Drogba was driving a small yacht transformed from a torpedo speedboat retired during World War I. It was not very fast moving forward on the Danube. At this time, Reinhardt seemed to be still immersed in thinking about some problems.
Drogba looked a little bored. No matter what, he was a soldier, his favorite and most adaptable place, and in fact he was the front line of the battlefield. If Reinhardt hadn't forced him to leave with him, he would have really been unwilling to leave France.
But even though that is the case, Drogba was still very grateful to Reinhardt, on the one hand because Reinhardt gave him extraordinary power, and on the other hand, Reinhardt helped him place his family.
The Drogba family’s situation in Paris is not very good, and it is not just Paris. The black people are not in a very good situation in every part of the European continent, especially in international metropolis like Paris. The more people they come into contact with, the more severe the oppression they will be.
So even though Drogba has become a super soldier now, Reinhardt did not place them in Paris, because no one in the world knows better the end of World War II than him.
In this case, it is better to place Drogba's family more properly than to wait for the liquidation after World War II.
Reinhardt had quite ambitions when it came to Drogba's use, especially after passing the battle in Arden Canyon, Reinhardt realized more that as a magician, the least thing he should do is to appear at the front line of the battlefield and fight the enemy with life and death at a close range. This is definitely not a qualified magic but a behavior that should be done, but the problem is that even if there is, the power of those magic is not as powerful as a heavy machine gun.
So for Reinhardt, he needed a powerful warrior who could be controlled, blocked in front of him and helped him to distance himself from the enemy, just like Skolchi beside the witch Amora, who needed to erect a shield in front of him, and sometimes it would become a sharp sword for killing.
This idea did not come out on the first day. In fact, the witch Amora has been teaching Reinhardt this idea intentionally or unintentionally. Now it is obvious that this idea is very effective. Otherwise, Reinhardt would have been killed long ago in the battle of Arden Canyon.
It is precisely because of this that he has become more determined to cultivate Drogba. Even from a certain perspective, Drogba is also a good experimental subject. It is precisely for this reason that in order to allow Drogba to better serve him, he has to settle his family better.
After the final selection, Reinhardt chose the place where he was placed in Norway. Compared with France at the forefront of the battlefield, whether it is the current air battle in the English Channel or the comprehensive counterattack after the landing in Normandy in the future, it shows that it is definitely not a good place to settle, especially many people have learned that Drogba joined the Germanic army and became a super soldier.
People like him will definitely be strictly liquidated after the war.
It was not suitable for the empire. After the end of World War II, the empire not only needed to compensate large amounts of war reparations, but even suffered severe restrictions from the Allies in all respects. Life at that time would not be good at all, let alone they were black people.
Austria is too close to the empire, and their position on World War II is enough to make the Allies treat them equally harshly. As for Poland and some other countries occupied by the empire, the people of these local countries are too resentful. At that time, as long as they are not their own people, people from these countries will do nothing. It is not impossible for neutral countries like Switzerland, but they will be separated from the protection of the empire, and no one can help them if something happens.
After all the final choices, the only choices are Norway. The weather and environment of some coastal cities in Norway are quite good. In addition, they are located in ports and have very rich supplies. Moreover, the Norwegians are not as hostile as the French and Poles, and they are not so repulsive to black people.
They are more likely to accept the Drogba family with unknown identity, especially when Reinhardt asks local imperial officers not to disclose any information about Drogba, and to settle them in, they will be more likely to integrate into the local environment.
Even if the empire is powerful, there are only three or five years left. Compared with the decades that follow, these three or five years are not worth mentioning at all. Compared with the enjoyment in front of you and the peace and stability in the decades that follow, the latter is more acceptable.
Reinhardt did not want Drogba to be used for only a few short years. He hoped to cultivate him from his side. Only in this way can he become the person he trusted most, his most capable assistant, and his closest comrade-in-arms on the battlefield.
The speedboat soon arrived on the head of a pony outside the villa next to the Danube. Drogba let go of the steering wheel in his hand, glanced at the heavy machine gun hanging beside him, and shook his head helplessly. Although he forced to leave a heavy machine gun when the old torpedo speedboat was transformed, hoping to be useful in the future, in fact, they could not encounter any enemies in this place in Austria.
After getting off the boat and tied the rope, Drogba couldn't help but complain to Reinhardt, who had come to his senses, and said, "Since we don't stay in Paris, why can't we go to Yugoslavia? At least there is more lively."
In Yugoslavia, the current Balkans battle is in full swing.
The strategic location of the Balkan Peninsula is very important. It is located in the southeast of Europe and the confluence of the three continents of Europe, Asia and Africa. It controls not only the gateway to the Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea, but also the route to the Indian Ocean, and has rich natural resources.
The purpose of the Empire launching the Balkans is to establish a strategic base in the southern attack on the polar bears and to ensure the implementation of the campaign in the Mediterranean region.
As early as the end of 1940, after the Italian army failed in Greece's war, the empire had already formulated a plan to seize Greece.
The real fuse was in Yugoslavia. At the end of March, a state coup occurred in Yugoslavia. The new government refused to form an alliance with the empire under pressure from the people. In early April, a friendly and non-aggression treaty was signed with the polar bears, which meant that the polar bears could attack from the Balkans at any time.
The east side of the Balkans is the Black Sea, and Ukraine is in the Black Sea. As long as it passes through the Balkans, it can reach Ukraine directly. In contrast, it is the same. As long as it sends troops from Ukraine, it can attack Austria as long as it passes through the Balkans, and now Austria is already a part of the empire.
Therefore, for the sake of its own security and for the smooth implementation of the entire Barbarossa plan, the Supreme Command issued a plan to destroy Yugoslavia and occupy Greece, including allies including Italy, Hungary and other countries, and also sent troops to the Balkans.
Before the empire and polar bears completely broke up, even if the polar bears would send combatants into Greece and Yugoslavia, they would only enter as volunteers at most, which means that their number would not be too large, and a large number of the most advanced heavy weapons could not be transported to the front line, which was destined to capture the Balkans. After all, the Balkans did not have the extreme weather like Finland.
Reinhardt couldn't help but shake his head for Drogba's desire for war, and then smiled helplessly, "Even if we go, what's the effect? You don't really think that the Yugoslavia and the Greek army have much combat capability, right?"
Hearing Reinhardt say this, Drogba couldn't help but choke slightly. This was indeed the case. If they arrived at the front line, they would not be able to intervene in the specific battle. They were neither air force nor armored soldiers, and they could not catch up with the advancement speed of the imperial front line army.
