Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

Walter Model sat upright in his seat and looked at the scenery outside the window.

Otto Moritz Walter Model was a German field marshal who was known as the "defensive master" and "fireman" because of his excellent defensive abilities. Field Marshal Model was a rising star among the German field marshals. Especially when he switched to a defensive posture in the later period, his excellent commanding skills allowed the German army to maintain a stable defense on the long defense line and hold on against the powerful Soviet offensive for 5 years. For a long time, even the retreat is an orderly retreat, rather than a disintegrating army that collapses thousands of miles. You must know that with the strength of the German army at that time, it was almost impossible to establish a defense line on such a long defense line, and the defense line was curved rather than straight, which required the deployment of more troops. Model almost completed the impossible task , so the name "Defense Master" is well deserved.

Therefore, Yannick sent him to Finland as an advisor to help block the Soviet army.

Although he is a serving soldier, he is not wearing a military uniform at the moment, but a decent suit. All persons and belongings traveling to Finland this time must not bear German labels.

Even the logo on the plane was changed to that of Finland.

Model deeply believed in this approach. Although the Soviet Union and Germany had several conflicts during the Spanish Civil War, this did not seem to affect the cooperative relationship between the two countries. There are also two Soviet aircraft carriers nearing completion in German shipyards. And now that it is about to attack Britain, it does not seem good to openly support Finland in fighting the Soviet Union.

But he vaguely felt that these two aircraft carriers would never have a chance to return to the Soviet Union in this life.

If that's the case, wouldn't Germany have eight large aircraft carriers in the near future?

After thinking for a while, he secretly glanced at the girl opposite. This girl named Sofia looks to be in her mid-twenties, and she is definitely top-notch in terms of appearance and figure. But based on his soldier's intuition, this beautiful girl had definitely killed someone before, and she probably had more than one or two lives in her hands.

He didn't know why His Highness Yannick personally arranged for this girl to go to Finland with him as a secretary. His Highness Yannick only said that she had a "special mission."

Just as his mind was filled with random thoughts, the plane had already landed at a military airport in Finland. The person who came to greet him was Marshal Mannerheim, Commander-in-Chief of the Finnish Armed Forces.

Carl Gustav Mannerheim was a Finnish military and political figure who held the title of baron. He served as the leader of the White Army in the Finnish Civil War and as the Commander-in-Chief of the Finnish Defense Forces in World War II. Mannerheim was the highest-ranking soldier in Finland's military history. His final military rank was "Marshal of Finland". He also served as the country's regent (1918 to 1919) and the 6th president (1944 to 1946).

Model, who stepped off the plane, suppressed the urge to salute and stretched out his hand with a smile. "It's an honor to have Marshal Lao personally come to greet us. But didn't we agree before that our trip would be a secret?" It's good that the Marshal came to pick him up in person. What kind of secret is this?

Mannerheim shook Model's hand enthusiastically. "Thank you for your country's helping hand in our time of crisis. I just came to express my gratitude."

After exchanging pleasantries, the two got into the car, and Mannerheim asked straight to the point. "Your Excellency General Model, what do you think of the war that is about to break out this time?"

"Your country's chance of winning is zero." Model glanced at him and said bluntly. "His Royal Highness Yannick sent me here this time with no intention of fighting off the invaders. He just wanted to inflict heavy damage on them as much as possible, and then when your country wins, you will take the initiative to show weakness, cede some land, sign an armistice agreement, etc. to delay it for a while. . Wait until the time is right to counterattack and regain the lost land."

Mannerheim opened his mouth and asked after a long time. "Then when will the time be ripe?"

Model gave very clear figures. "Three years. His Highness promises that within three years you will get back your lost territory. During this period, your country can re-equip its military and strengthen its training."

"Three years..." Mannerheim looked out the window, lost in thought.

Model didn't say anything else. If the Marshal was not a fool, he would understand the gap between the Soviet Union and Finland. At this time, Finland's population was at most 3.7 million, and the Soviet Union could mobilize more than 3 million troops. If this can be won, it will be unless every Finnish soldier is a superman.

Thinking of Superman, Model couldn't help but sigh. When he comes here, I'm afraid he will have to miss several issues of Superman comics.

The motorcade soon drove into the city and arrived at the Presidential Palace. Model looked out the window and couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. These Finns were quite satisfied and did not hold a grand welcome ceremony with great fanfare. The motorcade went around the back door and quietly entered the presidential palace.

"Welcome friends from Germany." President Kayander did not say much. After all, no one was in the mood to waste time on pleasantries at this time. "Your Excellency, the general, must have known that the Soviets are gathering troops. This war could start at any time. I wonder what kind of help your country can provide us? We need as much support as possible!"

Model didn't hide it, and spoke out the list of assistance in one breath. "The weapons and equipment I brought this time include 50 anti-tank guns, 100 anti-tank guns, and 50 field guns. There are also 50,000 submachine guns, and a large number of other weapons and ammunition."

"That's great!!" Kayander and Mannerheim suddenly became excited after hearing about Germany's aid supplies. What they need most now is these equipment!

But Model's words were obviously not finished yet. "We can also provide flying troops. Considering that your country does not have time to train pilots, we will also provide pilots and ground crews. The number of aircraft is about a hundred. And if the war situation is not optimistic, we will dispatch three to four mountain divisions Enter Finland to fight. But on the surface, these supports are from Spain and have nothing to do with us in Germany." Most of Finland's terrain is mountainous, and sending mountain divisions can also provide them with actual combat training.

President Kayandre excitedly shook Model's hand and thanked him. "Germany is really Finland's good friend. Only your country can lend a helping hand to us in times of crisis." Finland only has 114 old-fashioned aircraft. Now that the number of aircraft has suddenly doubled, how can he not Excited?

Have you said all that needs to be said? Model thought for a moment and remembered one more thing. "Also coming this time is Simon Haye from your country."

"Simon Heyer? Who is it?" The Finnish president looked at the commander-in-chief on the side with confusion, only to find that the commander-in-chief also had the same puzzled look on his face.

Seeing their confused faces, Model could only explain to them. But if it weren’t for His Highness Yannick, he himself wouldn’t know who Simon Haye is. "Simon Haye is a soldier of your army. He went to Germany to participate in a shooting competition a few years ago. His Highness Yannick took a fancy to him and asked him to stay as a shooting instructor. At that time, His Highness Yannick also reported to the Commander-in-Chief of your army through the embassy. I have asked for leave for him."

After his explanation, the commander-in-chief suddenly said. "Oh, I seem to have some impression. I was still serving as the chief of staff at the time, and this is indeed the case. It has been almost ten years, and I almost forgot about it."

"..." After all, in a high position and with so many official duties to deal with every day, who would have the time to remember an insignificant soldier. "He is now an instructor at the German Guards Sniper Academy. There are three teams of snipers coming with him this time, a total of 150 people."

"Great!" Mannerheim was overjoyed. He knew how terrifying the German snipers were in the last war. Now that 150 snipers have arrived, they will definitely deal a heavy blow to the Soviet Union.
