Uninvited Visitors

Some summer in 1938
Arthur's POV

"Mr. Kirkland. There has been reports of the Germans being in friendly
terms with the Icelandic. Commercial trade between them has increased,
and there has been friendly competition between their soccer teams."

"Hmm."  Arthur stops writing.

"And that's not all.  The Germans are giving them free instructions in
glidering."

"I see."  Arthur is pacing across the room.  "It's perfect for discovering
suitable landing grounds. Not to mention for compiling maps."

****************************************************************************

May 9, 1940

Arthur sighs as he picks up the phone.  He dials the phone number and after
a few rings, someone finally answers.

"Hello?"

"We would like to offer assistance.  We seek cooperation from you and the
people of Iceland 'as a belligerent and an ally' in return."

"No. We have chosen to stay neutral."

"Hey now- Damn it! He hunged up on me."

Arthur started pacing back and forth again.  This was bad. What if the Germans
that were already in Iceland started a coup?  Or what if there was an invasion
by sea or air?  What if the trade between Britain and USA was halted!?  A British
presence on Iceland must be established at once!

***********************************************************************************
"Sir? We're actually going to go through with the plan?"

Arthur nodded at the British soldier.  "Churchill said to land first, and
talk later."

Ch.2: [link]

I was talking with a friend online, and after a conversation of APH Iceland, I wanted to find out more
on the history. And this is the result XD

Thanks for reading!
I wrote this story based on research available to me. Though, I'm not sure how reliable the
sources I came across are, so sorry if there are mistakes ^-^;
In one of the sources, it mentions that German interest in Iceland grew during the 1930's.
When Uk found out, they were "unable or unwilling to take it's own steps to increase or
influence and friendships in Iceland." (According to another source.)
When they finally contacted Iceland for permission, Iceland refused since they decided
to stay neutral in WWII.
