Because Alan Wilson knew about the existence of the Cambridge Five, this report had long been prepared to be leaked.
For now, he thought over and over again and felt that no matter what the outcome was, it had nothing to do with the British Empire. The United Kingdom in 1945 was still qualified to say no to the United States.
In fact, it can be seen from the division of occupation of Germany at the Yalta Conference that the Soviet Union occupied more than 40% of the German land, and the Soviet-occupied area was the largest. The British-occupied area occupied the Ruhr area, the most powerful industrial area in Germany.
As well as the excellent coastline and ports in the northwest, the American-occupied area is Bavaria in southern Germany.
The area occupied by the United States is not as large as that of the Soviet Union, and it is not an industrial zone. It is not as densely populated and industrially developed as the British-occupied area. The Soviet Union occupies the largest land, and the United Kingdom occupies the best resources and population. On the contrary, the United States seems very embarrassed. It is still
Together with Britain, we should allocate part of the land to France.
The United States certainly suffered as a result of this partition. The United States had strong opinions on this plan. On the one hand, it believed that the area occupied by the Soviet Union was too large; on the other hand, the Ruhr area in which it was interested fell into British hands.
As a result, the United States formulated a new occupation plan.
Simply put, the new plan proposed by the Americans was to swap the American-occupied area and the British-occupied area. The British occupied southern Germany, and the American-occupied area became the current British-occupied area, which of course included the Ruhr area.
In the diplomatic exchanges between Britain and the United States over the exchange of occupied areas, from the Cairo Conference to the Yalta Conference, Britain never gave in. As the Soviet Red Army gained momentum, the United States had no choice but to accept reality and honestly accepted the current division.
As for the origin of the French-occupied zone, Britain pushed the United States onto the front line of confrontation with the Soviet Union. In order to win over France, Britain and France adopted a strategy to win over France with their original intention of containing the United States after the war.
During this period, the British Foreign Office and the Americans went through many wars of words, and with the help of the Soviet Red Army, the United States suffered a humiliating loss. It is not something Alan Wilson could have guessed. He was still basking in the glory of the sacred cow in British India.
among.
But this division of occupied areas brought about a problem. The British-occupied areas actually had nothing to do with the Balkans. Tito's opponents in Yugoslavia actually could no longer reach the British.
This is actually an illusion, because Austria was also occupied by partitions. Austria's partition occupation was similar to that of Germany. The Soviet Union occupies the largest area, and the United Kingdom occupies the best location and population. The British occupation area was just right, facing Tito's opposition.
By.
However, Austria is currently occupied by zones in name. However, in fact, the occupying forces of the United States, Britain and France are pitifully small, almost the same as undefended areas. The nominal occupation zone is completely restrained by the Soviet Red Army.
In the eyes of these anti-Germans from various countries who were supported by Britain before the war for the reason of fighting Germany, Britain is still the world's first colonial empire. They do not know that Britain is exhausted internally and can no longer suppress it.
Both the United States and the Soviet Union should consider joining forces with France to protect themselves.
Therefore, the Yugoslav Home Army and other organizations that opposed Tito still sought to surrender to Britain.
Two days after the German surrender ceremony, Alan Wilson was thinking about whether to use a pack of cigarettes to find a German dragoon to clean the apartment he sponsored, and by the way, rescue the fallen German women and help them solve their urgent needs.
The British representative office in Vienna sent a telegram. It was Tito's opponents gathered at the border, including the Yugoslav Motherland Army, the Croatian Ustasha, and the Slovenian Home Defense Force. There were so many people that I couldn't even name them. There might be real refugees among them. I'm afraid
Liquidated by Tito.
These organizations are very complex. Chetniks are mainly composed of Serbs who support the Royal Government of Yugoslavia. They are anti-German armed forces active in Yugoslavia during World War II. Their official name is the Yugoslav Motherland Army. The name "Chetniks" comes from the Serbian word,
Like the King of Yugoslavia, he was supported by Britain in the early days.
The Croatian Ustasha was established in Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria, with the goal of making Croatia independent from Yugoslavia. It was supported by Germany and Italy. As for the Slovenian Home Defense Force, it was another organization supported by Germany.
These anti-Tito forces now belong to different organizations, because the Yugoslav Communist Party led by Tito has taken control of Yugoslavia. Driven by the survival instinct, they began to flee Yugoslavia and went to the borders of Austria and Germany to pray for asylum.
While smoking a cigarette and resting in his room, Alan Wilson heard the footsteps outside the door and immediately picked up the telegram from Vienna with a sad face, looking very embarrassed.
"Alan, what's wrong?" As soon as Alful entered the door, he saw Alan Wilson's expression of constipation. He almost felt uncomfortable himself, so he couldn't help but ask.
"It's a matter in the Balkans. The Yugoslav Motherland Army has gathered on the Austrian border. The number has exceeded 100,000. If we don't deal with it, something may happen." Alan Wilson said worriedly, "Something may happen. We should consider persuading them immediately and let them go."
These people returned to Yugoslavia."
"One hundred thousand people?" Eiffel frowned and said, "That's a lot of people. We have almost no troops in Austria. The nominal divisional occupation is actually just the Soviet Red Army occupying eastern Austria. Except for the Soviet occupation,
Outside the area, the occupied areas of the other three Austrian countries do not have many troops and cannot be defended at all."
"Yes, if these Yugoslavs break through the border, should we let the Austrian army intercept them?" Alan Wilson, the actor, also appeared worried. A small oversight just after World War II may cause big problems.
A thousand-mile embankment collapsed in an anthill. Unlike Germany's partitioned occupation, Austria's partitioned occupation only existed in name. If these opponents of Yugoslavia were determined to cross the border at all costs, Britain, France and the United States would not actually have many troops to intercept them.
It's really quite embarrassing.
Now we just need someone to help these people make up their minds and cross the border in an organized, planned and premeditated way, rather than in a mess.
"The Austrian Representative Office has always been trying to persuade these people in good faith with the purpose of avoiding the hostility of the Soviet Union. But as the number of people increases, we still need to pay more attention." Alan Wilson said, "How about I go?
It would be the best thing to go to Vienna and observe it up close. It would be the best thing if the Vienna authorities could persuade these people to return to Yugoslavia."
"I hope so, even if it's just to coax them." Aifor nodded solemnly, agreeing with Alan Wilson's idea. As long as these Yugoslavs go back, it will be Tito's matter and has nothing to do with Britain.
"Okay! I hope everything goes well." Alan Wilson agreed, coaxing? How could such an honest person like him do that kind of thing?
