"Oh, Alan, you are reading a document. The military has prepared food." Alful pushed in and happened to see Alan Wilson reading a document. He looked closer and saw that it was a report on the Balkans, and sighed, "
When have you really been so energetic? Are all civil servants in British India like this?"
"That's not true!" Alan Wilson chuckled, flipping through the Balkan report and shaking his head slightly, "I was supposed to read it in Paris, but it was delayed because I came to Berlin. This is quite troublesome. How are these armed forces going to be treated?
Some foreign ministries in London have a headache, this is quite a force."
While speaking, Alan Wilson unconsciously pulled the document bag with one hand. This force is one of the sequelae of the war.
The composition of the Yugoslav Motherland Army is actually quite complex, with different tendencies at different stages. Before the official outbreak of the World War, Britain and France certainly did not blindly appease. In many European countries, there were forces supported by Britain and France that were fighting against Germany.
Competition.
As vested interests, Britain and France also fought hard against Germany in World War I. Although they were still able to hold down the United States after the war, they already understood in their hearts that both countries needed time to recover.
But Germany didn't give them a chance at all. When facing the threat of war, Britain and France inevitably looked forward and backward. On the one hand, they built a network to encircle Germany, hoping to deter the Germans. They didn't want to see a red-hot bayonet like in World War I.
Before meeting on the battlefield, the battle between Britain and Germany started at the diplomatic level. The war broke out. Prince Paul of Yugoslavia was afraid that the Axis powers would attack Yugoslavia, so he signed the Three Kingdoms Convention and promised to cooperate with Germany and Italy.
As a result, large-scale demonstrations broke out in the capital, Belgrade. Two days later, King Peter II received support from Britain and launched a military coup to overthrow the prince's regime. General Dusan Simović became prime minister.
At this time, Yugoslavia was in a very awkward position. It actually no longer supported the Axis Powers, but it did not formally withdraw from the Three-Power Pact. The new government opposed Germany, but was afraid that Britain would not be able to help if it was invaded. Eventually, the Axis Powers began to invade.
The Yugoslav Motherland Army is mainly composed of Serbs and Montenegrins. It is loyal to the Yugoslav royal family. It has resisted Italian rule in Montenegro many times, but was suppressed by the Italian army. Therefore, it is supported by the United Kingdom and is regarded as an Allied force.
King Paul II of Yugoslavia is now in exile in London. Logically speaking, the Yugoslav Fatherland Army is the same anti-German force in many European countries before the war, a pro-British force.
But that's not the case. In addition to the Yugoslav Motherland Army, there are other forces in Yugoslavia, because Yugoslavia was a victorious country after World War I because it defeated the Allied Powers group, and the Serbs occupied the lands of other ethnic groups.
In today's Yugoslavia, only a little over 40% are Serbian, and they are not a dominant ethnic group. Some people in later generations attributed the disintegration of Yugoslavia to the suppression of the dominant ethnic group of Serbia. In fact, this is not the case. Serbs have never been the majority of the country's population.
The Croats and Slovenes are pro-Germany, and they and the Yugoslav Fatherland Army form Tito's opposition. The Yugoslav Fatherland Army, which now gathers pro-German and pro-British factions, has withdrawn from Yugoslavia and headed for the Allied-occupied areas.
"Actually, we can imagine that the final decision London may make is to abandon them." Aiful looked at Alan Wilson and speculated on London's final decision. "Maybe the decision will not be so quick. After all, it is mainly Germany now."
Surrender ceremony.”
"Is it just like us exchanging the security of Greece to get rid of the Polish government in exile in London and handing Poland over to the Soviet Union?" Alan Wilson chuckled and laughed at himself, "It is understandable for the Yalta Conference to make such exchange conditions.
Yes, the Prime Minister has tried his best to maintain Britain's presence in Europe. Both the United States and the Soviet Union are powerful negotiating opponents. Intellectually, we cannot keep Poland, so it is better to exchange for the security of Greece."
"I dare to conclude that once this growing royalist force falls into Tito's hands, they will all be killed!" Alan Wilson looked at Aiful with a heavy heart and gave his own assertion.
, "According to Soviet thinking, this is considered a class enemy, which is a very scary definition."
The most important thing is that Alan Wilson did not want to betray other countries, such as Britain, and have its interests occupied by the United States. Britain betrayed Poland and worked hard to protect Greece. The opposition will still be pro-Soviet, and the government will become pro-American.
It has nothing to do with Britain at all.
If it were the other way around, and Britain received moral praise, it would be enough to let the Americans handle it.
Although the betrayal of Poland was done by the British, it had nothing to do with Alan Wilson after all, and the Balkans report was in his hands. He knew that if he pretended not to have seen it, he would directly report it to London, where the Yugoslav Motherland Army had gathered in the Allied-occupied areas.
They will inevitably be liquidated by Tito, and the number of deaths is calculated in hundreds of thousands.
Now the lives of these Yugoslav royalists, Croats, and Slovenes are in the hands of Alan Wilson.
"Alan, actually we are beyond our reach. According to the opinions of the Yalta Conference, the British-occupied area is in the northwest of Germany, including southern Germany including Bavaria. It is the American-occupied area from the French border to Austria. There are British diplomats nearby,
But there are no British troops stationed there." Alful shrugged helplessly, "This is a fact."
"Occupying the northwestern coastline of Germany, including the Ruhr area, is a victory in the diplomatic field. Aren't Americans always dissatisfied?" Alan Wilson smiled indifferently, "I wonder who the chief executive of Bavaria is now."
"I do know that he is a general named Patton." Alful said easily, and then he was startled. Why did this colleague jump in surprise and when did he jump up.
Alan Wilson's expression became very exciting, and his mind quickly changed, "Oh, it's General Patton!"
"Alan, what's wrong with you?" Aiful asked, pointing to the Balkan report in Alan Wilson's hand. "Actually, there is no need to be too impatient. The biggest thing now is the surrender ceremony."
"Yes, I agree." Alan Wilson said as soon as he collected the documents. He would not send this Balkan report to London yet, and that was it.
Alan Wilson has already seen the dawn of solving the problem of these forgotten people of World War II. Although he cannot guarantee success. But he feels that he has tried his best and it will not be worse than history. If the administrator of Bavaria was not Patton, this matter would
It’s really difficult to handle, and there is no hope at all.
