After knowing the news that the Vatican Bank was willing to cooperate, the MI6 agents led by Carl immediately took out the gold and gemstones stored by the Croatians, then directly transported them onto a military transport plane and left Italy.
The whole process was not sloppy at all, of course in order not to be discovered by the Italian US military. Germany's four-nation occupation is certainly more eye-catching, but it does not mean that Italy, which is also a defeated country, is peaceful.
The United States, Britain and France are enjoying themselves happily in Italy? This situation is of course impossible, and the division of Italian heritage is equally tit-for-tat.
The United States and Britain had provided many loans to Italy. The United States alone lent Italy one billion U.S. dollars. If Italy wanted to pay reparations to the victorious countries, especially the Soviet Union, it could only pay with loans from the United States. Of course, the United States did not agree, saying that Italy could pay reparations to the Soviet Union.
, but we must not use American money to borrow flowers and offer them to Buddha, thereby benefiting the Soviet Union in vain.
The Soviet Union's move to replenish its own industry while dismantling machines in Germany has aroused the alarm of the Americans. On the issue of Italy, the United States was firmly opposed to using industrial machinery to compensate the Soviet Union. In the end, a compromise was reached, and Italy used products to compensate.
But it will be done after Italy recovers.
Italy also has overseas colonies, and colonial issues have become a battlefield for the United States, Britain and France. Italy has many colonies in Africa. The British want to occupy Italian Somalia, which was previously controlled by Italy, and proposed a Greater Somalia plan to merge Italian Somalia.
Entered British Somalia.
France did not want Britain to take too many advantages and believed that it could not easily change the Italian colonies. After all, Italy was not as sinful as Germany.
The attitude of the United States towards the Italian African colonies is not to divide them up easily, but to hand them over to the United Nations, which is already under preparation for establishment. The United Nations headquarters will definitely be in the United States, and the United States can use this to exert influence in the Italian African colonies that is beneficial to the United States.
At this stage, the United States, Britain and France are in Rome, while jointly forcing the Soviet Union to make concessions, they are also frequently firing at each other. Regarding the status of the defeated countries of Germany and Italy, the dispute arises. This naturally has nothing to do with Alan Wilson!
Because he was the person directly responsible for the discovery of the stolen money in Croatia, after MI6 took away the treasure, Alan Wilson was told that the operation was successful, but he did not know the value of the wealth.
But it doesn't matter, he himself has never been tempted by the money. Britain is now in urgent need of getting money from anywhere, no less than Possessed by the King of Thieves. When this money reaches London, he, the liaison officer, will always have to take credit.
of.
While MI6 went to Rome to uphold justice and recover the stolen money from the victimized country, Mikhailovich had also arrived in Munich and met the person he was looking for to contact General Patton, the second-level German Army General, Eleventh
Armored Division Commander Hermann Balck.
During the Battle of Stalin, the commander of the 11th Armored Division, Hermann Balck, once fought on the Don River, in the entire defensive zone of the German Don River defense line, in the north and south, making continuous assaults and using swift and violent actions to attack the Soviet troops on the move.
It dealt a heavy blow and caused huge casualties.
In May 1945, at the surrender ceremony held by the Allied Forces in Bavaria, Germany, a German armored division that surrendered voluntarily received special courtesy from General Patton of the U.S. Third Army, who was always known for his arrogance. Patton unexpectedly showed great respect for this armored division.
The division commander said: "We have a draw. Your troops can fight well and are world-class."
Hermann Balck then came to live in Bavaria and was considered by General Patton to be a professional soldier who implemented the policies of the Third Reich. The two often discussed the current situation. What they had in common was that they were both very dissatisfied with the Soviet Union.
Hermann Balck fought bloody battles with the Soviet Red Army on the Eastern Front for several years. Patton believed that the Soviet Union had become an enemy of the U.S.-dominated world order, and he must take advantage of the current opportunity to eliminate the Soviet Union.
At this time, Mikhailovich met Hermann Balck and made a tearful request, "We troops fighting side by side with the German soldiers have reached a time when we have to ask you for help. Austrian border
The British prevent us from surrendering to the British and may even send us back to Yugoslavia. Once we return to Yugoslavia, everyone will be purged. Admiral Herman, you know the Soviet style. Tito is the same as the Soviets.
.”
"Aren't the British former supporters of the Motherland Army?" Hermann Balck asked with a frown, "Why are they so ruthless and just gave up on you?"
"Admiral Hermann, the British have always been like this." Mikhailovich had been indoctrinated repeatedly by Alan Wilson, and because he would be purged by Tito once he was repatriated, he followed Herr mercilessly.
Mann cursed the British, "I understand that the only chance now is to find General Patton, the military governor of Bavaria. I heard that he is very tolerant to many German soldiers."
"Admiral Hermann, once the Soviet war breaks out, I believe that the Allies will also need the power to attack Yugoslavia." Mikhailovich begged with sadness, "Can you let me meet with him?
"
"This?" Hermann Balck fell into deep hesitation. If he was dissatisfied with the current situation in which Germany was occupied by four countries, he, a second-level German general, was certainly dissatisfied.
Once the pattern of the four-power occupation was determined, Germany would be divided from then on, and it might never be possible to unify. These were the reasons why a group of German soldiers tried every means to encourage the Americans to directly join forces and march eastward to attack the Soviet Union.
As long as the war restarts, German soldiers in prisoner-of-war camps will be released and Germany's independent status will be restored during the war. This kind of agitation is not ineffective. General Patton, the military commander of Bavaria, increasingly reveals his dissatisfaction with the Soviet Union.
That's a huge achievement.
"I'll find a private place for you to meet with General Patton. But I won't say anything. You tell him yourself." After thinking for a long time, Hermann Balck seemed to have made up his mind and agreed.
Create an opportunity for Mihajlovic.
The scenery of the manors in Bavaria is always intoxicating at night. Although Europe has regained its calm, the secret battles are still going on. Germany's partition occupation, Italy's colonial division, and the refugees on the Austrian border. Farther away, in Greece,
Armed confrontation, not to mention resistance from Japan in the Far East.
In the first half of 1945, the world could not be said to be at peace, and some people wanted the war to continue.
"Unless the positions of Patton and Eisenhower are reversed." Alan Wilson shook his head. It might be a coincidence. He was also wondering whether it was possible for the United States to continue the war, but he still thought it was almost impossible.
