In this vigorous world war, no country can survive.

Those powerful countries naturally want to obtain more land and more benefits, while weak countries cannot stay out of the matter even if they make a neutral attitude.

This is especially true for some countries that are located in strategic locations and are sparsely populated.

For example, Iceland.

Iceland was originally a quiet and peaceful country. As a vassal state of Denmark, Icelanders lived here for generations and made a living by hunting. The population of the entire Iceland is only 20,000.

They were originally out of the matter. After Denmark was occupied by Germany, Iceland declared independence and neutrality. However, the British were afraid that Iceland would turn to Germany, so Britain launched a "harpoon" operation and forcibly occupied Iceland.

This made the Icelanders very angry, but they had no choice. The British continued to increase their troops, and later Americans. So far, there were a total of 40,000 American troops stationed in Iceland.

Under the pressure of the Americans, the Icelandic government even had to sign a joint defense agreement that was humiliating. Iceland's own security police force had only 70 people, but the Americans used 40,000 troops!

When Britain fell, Iceland became a springboard. If the United States wanted to counterattack Europe, it could 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, with a wide Vatna Icefield to the east, the capital of Iceland, located in Reykjavik in the western part of Iceland, in the Fahsa Bay, which is also the main port city in Iceland.

The British landed in the first place, which started with the occupation of Reykjavik. After the United States changed its weapons exchange agreement with the United Kingdom to defend against Iceland, its main force was also stationed in Reykjavik.

Now, Reykjavikri is full of American soldiers.

In the western part of Reykjavik, Cape Reych Peninsula and Keflavik have a major naval aviation base, and the US aviation forces stationed here are mainly distributed here.

In later generations, Reykjavik and Keflavik owned the only two international airports in Iceland, which were built by Britain and the United States during World War II. Now, these bases are still the most primitive earth runways and were also hastily built.

With the tightening of the Pacific combat, the United States' deployment in Iceland was not strong, with only one squadron of P-40 fighters and some water patrol aircraft of the Law-owned Navy.

Now, the direction of Iceland is not tight. Although the German naval strength is getting stronger and stronger, it has become a heavy pressure from the United States on the Atlantic Ocean, Germany is now engaged in a land war with the Soviet Union, and Germany has mobilized the whole country.

Before destroying the Soviet Union, the Germans would definitely not go to war with the United States. Taking advantage of this period, the United States will first defeat the island country, which is almost everyone's consensus.

At this time, at the Keflavik base, a twin-engine Martin PB Sailor Water Patrol/bomber was preparing to take off. It was designed to complement the lack of construction of the joint PBY "Catrina", that is, it is an alternative second-tier aircraft.

Every morning, it will take off and fly back at night to investigate the waters in eastern Iceland and monitor the operations of the German Navy. Once the German Navy appears in eastern Iceland, they will be on high alert.

The German Navy is really too perverted. Landing ships are built one after another, so they must be vigilant. Maybe the German Navy will come up at any time.

This huge seaplane requires nine people to operate. Now, they line up to walk towards the seaplane. Captain Marin walked in the front, and his eyes looked into the sky in the distance and murmured: "Today is a good weather for flying."

The sky is clear and cloudless. The cold current from the Arctic has become much weaker recently. There is no strong wind. This day looks good

Not far away, the base's long-range air alert radar was spinning, and Marin looked at the sky in the east and there was nothing.

This has almost become a habitual action. I have to look at the east side every day. If there are bombers everywhere in the sky, it will be their doomsday.

Can Iceland be defended?

It is hard to say in the face of the strong military strength of the Germans!

"Have the spare parts we need arrived?" asked Marin.

Iceland is very cold. Under such climatic conditions, our planes are unfit, and the engines occasionally fail, which has caused several seaplanes to fall into bed. Now they are anxiously waiting for spare parts.

There are only two or three more aircraft that can be dispatched.

"It is said that spare parts will arrive today." said the ground officer.

Hopefully, they usually only take off one aircraft and search and fly on the sea. However, if they encounter emergencies, they may need to strengthen their search in all directions, so they need to dispatch them. At this time, the disadvantage of insufficient number of aircraft will be revealed.

He stepped on the gangway and was about to enter the cockpit. At this moment, a low black spot appeared on the sea in the distance.

What is that?

Almost as he discovered it, the sentries of the base also discovered it. Just as the lookout was about to issue an alarm, he couldn't help but shake his head, he was so shocked.

This is not a German bomber, it is just an ordinary Pan American airliner.

This passenger aircraft is a passenger aircraft produced by Xius Aircraft Company for intercontinental flights. It is very similar to the German Junker-290 bomber, but the fuselage is painted to show that it is the most familiar passenger aircraft.

After entering a state of war with Germany, Sius was unable to obtain German engines, so the number of such specialized intercontinental passenger aircraft in the United States was a certain number, and later all of them were requisitioned by the United States.

It is said that the latest bomber in the United States is almost a surveying and mapping imitating this passenger aircraft.

This passenger plane took almost three days to travel back and forth. The transportation base urgently needed supplies and a large amount of supplies were transported by ships, such as supplies needed by 40,000 US troops, weapons and ammunition, etc. The urgently needed supplies were transported by airplanes. It seems that the spare parts needed by our side are also in this passenger plane.

"Start the engine." After entering the cockpit, Marin said that at this time, they were still in the apron. After starting, they would slide to the runway. Now, while waiting, the passenger plane has entered the landing route.

The engines on both sides were rumbled. After a few minutes of slow train and waiting to slide to the runway, the passenger plane had already landed. The elegant and majestic posture made people look very spectacular.
