"On the surface, it's still under control. We have mobilized all the staff here, persuaded the Yugoslavs, and concentrated all armed personnel to defend the border." George, a diplomat from Carinthia, replied hurriedly,
Followed by Alan Wilson who had just gotten off the car.
"On the surface? All the armed personnel have been gathered together? Ah!" Alan Wilson paused slightly and opened his mouth to face the northwest, as if he wanted the northwest to calm down his somewhat confused mind. After a while, he said
, “Let’s just explain the actual situation.”
Using this modified wording, you can basically conclude that the situation is more serious than it appears. As for concentrating all armed personnel to defend the border? It depends on how many British troops there are in the British-occupied area. According to Alan Wilson's understanding of the situation, and
The actual situation in Austria is that there are currently only two battalions of British troops in the British-occupied areas of Austria.
Otherwise, how could he say that the occupying forces of the three countries combined would be nothing compared to the Soviet occupying forces in Austria.
"Because there are some Slovenians living in southern Carinthia itself, and the Austrian government has been paralyzed, we don't know how many Slovenians there are. There may be many refugees from Yugoslavia who are hiding there. We don't know. Now Austria is in a
In the occupied state, we cannot organize the troops of the former Austrian government to do things. Fortunately, there are no signs of large numbers of refugees crossing the border." George explained the actual situation and looked at Alan Wilson carefully.
Wen Dao has different professions and specializations. Despite Alan Wilson's unexpected age, he is currently the British liaison officer in Europe. If he wanted to, he could mention George's work in handling the refugee issue in his report.
It's a complete mess.
But Alan Wilson is obviously in a good mood. There are not a large number of refugees crossing the border now, which does not mean that there will not be in the future. He praised without hesitation, "Faced with so many refugees, the work of the Carinthia Special Operations Office is satisfactory."
, it seems that the situation has been stabilized, let’s work together to see how to solve this problem, by the way, prepare a map for me.”
After that, he entered the British residence of the richest man in Klagenfurt. Klagenfurt is a large city in southern Austria, but a large city by European standards and a large city in the East are not the same concept. In fact, there are only tens of thousands of residents here.
This place is 30 kilometers away from the Yugoslav border and 60 kilometers away from Italy. It is a standard border city.
Holding the map of Carinthia, I was not planning what to do to Yugoslavia or Italy, but planning whether these refugees could avoid the attention of the Soviet Red Army and reach southern Germany where General Patton was the administrator.
On the surface, it can be done. The British-occupied area in Austria is to the north of the American-occupied area, and the American-occupied area in Austria is connected to the American-occupied area in Germany. However, for the sake of success rate, it is best not to take the road to the west of Austria.
It is the French-occupied area, and the success rate is highest from there, but the journey may be longer.
After some supplementary knowledge of geography, Alan Wilson appeared again during dinner and said to the local British diplomats, "We must talk to the leaders of these Yugoslavs, not just to the leaders of the Motherland Army."
It is best to talk to people, including Tito's people, to eliminate the hostility between everyone. I think this is not a problem, after all, we have been in contact before."
The relationship between Britain and Tito is not bad. Britain previously supported Tito to replace the Yugoslav Motherland Army as the force representing Yugoslavia. And few people know that the liaison officer who worked beside Tito was Randolph Churchill, the son of British Prime Minister Churchill.
.
Alan Wilson, who has inherited the British Empire's tradition of treading two boats, is not prepared to talk only to these opponents of Tito. If these opponents of Tito cannot cooperate according to his planned future, he cannot rule out selling again.
The possibility of defeating the Yugoslav Motherland Army once.
After discussing with George, Alan Wilson asked George to contact Tito, while he prepared to meet with the leaders of the Yugoslav Motherland Army and various organizations involved in it.
Drača Mikhailovich, the leader of the Yugoslav Motherland Army, served as deputy chief of staff of the Second Army when the Germans invaded. After the army collapsed, he established the Yugoslav Fatherland Army in the Lavna Gora Mountains. Mikhailovich conducted the
The anti-German struggle received support from Britain and King Peter II in London.
Of course, Britain later turned to support Tito, and the evolution was more complicated. Now that Germany has been defeated, Mikhailovich, who was forced to despair by Tito, thought of the British Empire again, led the remnants of the Yugoslav Motherland Army, and other Tito
Opponents came to the Austrian border, hoping for a way out.
After learning that the new liaison officer was going to meet with him under secret conditions, Mikhailovich felt a glimmer of hope. With his current situation, even if World War III broke out, it would be a good thing.
Mikhailovich came and crossed the border to the meeting place prepared by Alan Wilson. It was an ordinary small house. Not only did it lack any grandeur, it could even be said to be a bit shabby.
Alan Wilson didn't even prepare to translate. He heard that Mihajlovic knew some English. The door was pushed open, and Mihajlovic, who was also alone, came in. Their eyes met, and both of them looked surprised.
.
Mikhailovich was shocked by Alan Wilson's age, but he was immediately relieved. The liaison officer beside him at the time, Randolph Churchill, was actually less than thirty years old.
Alan Wilson was surprised by Mikhailovich's attire. He was dressed exactly like a Russian Cossack veteran, with a full beard, which made him look more like one.
"Mr. Mihajlovic, please sit down." Alan Wilson stood up and gestured, "Today I come to you about the future of the hundreds of thousands of people in the border area. Please forgive the rudimentary conditions here. Due to some
Reason, we can only meet under these conditions."
Mikhailovich pulled up a chair, sat down and said in half-baked English, "When will the liaison officer of the British Empire have to talk to someone on such an occasion? But I agree with one thing.
The lives of hundreds of thousands of people were involved. In fact, this is my purpose. I hope to save the lives of these subordinates, so I came here to surrender to the British Empire. We abandoned people just want to survive."
"Yes, this is our common purpose." Alan Wilson lowered his voice, "But this matter is still difficult and requires our joint efforts. Mr. Mihajlovic, I believe you are also aware of the current situation.
It is understood that almost all of Yugoslavia has been controlled by Tito, and this situation puts London in a very difficult position."
