Chapter 43 The Balkan Savior

"Oh, Alan, you are looking at the documents. The military has prepared food." Eifel pushed in, just in time to see Alan Wilson reading the documents. He took a closer look at the report from the Balkan Peninsula, and sighed, " When did you really become so energetic, are all civil servants in British India like this?"

"That's not true!" Alan Wilson chuckled, flipped through the Balkan report and shook his head slightly, "I should have read it in Paris, but it was delayed because I came to Berlin. This is very troublesome. How are these armed forces treated? Some foreign ministries in London have a headache, this is not a small force."

While speaking, Alan Wilson unconsciously pulled the file bag with one hand. This force is one of the sequelae of the war.

To say that the composition of the Yugoslav Fatherland Army is actually quite complicated, and it has 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 to compete with Germany.

Britain and France, as vested interests, and at the same time because of World War I and Germany's bloodshed, although they were still able to overwhelm the United States after the war, they already knew in their hearts that both countries needed time to recover.

But Germany didn't give it a chance at all. When facing the threat of war, Britain and France inevitably looked forward and backward. On the one hand, they built an encirclement network against Germany, hoping to deter the Germans.

Before the meeting on the battlefield, the battle between Britain and Germany unfolded at the diplomatic level, and the war broke out. The ruling Prince Paul of Yugoslavia feared that the Axis powers would attack Yugoslavia, so he signed the Triple Pact and promised to cooperate with Germany and Italy.

As a result, large-scale demonstrations took place in the capital Belgrade. Two days later, King Peter II, supported by Britain, launched a military coup to overthrow the Prince's regime. General Dusan Simovic became prime minister.

At this time, Yugoslavia's status was very embarrassing. In fact, it no longer supported the Axis powers, but it did not formally withdraw from the Triple Pact. The new government opposed Germany, but feared that Britain would not be able to help it if invaded, and eventually the Axis powers began to invade.

The Yugoslav Fatherland Army is mainly composed of Serbs and Montenegrins. It is loyal to the Yugoslav royal family and has repeatedly resisted Italian rule in Montenegro. However, they were all suppressed by the Italian army. Therefore, they were supported by the United Kingdom and were regarded as troops of the Allies.

Yugoslav King Paul II is now in exile in London. It stands to reason that the Yugoslav Fatherland Army, like many anti-German forces in European countries before the war, is a pro-British force.

But this is not the case. In addition to the Yugoslav Homeland Army, there are other forces in Yugoslavia, because Yugoslavia is the victorious country that defeated the Allied Powers after World War I, and the Serbs occupied the land of other nations.

In today's Yugoslavia, Serbs are only a little over 40%, and they are not a dominant nation. Some people in later generations attributed the disintegration of Yugoslavia to the result of suppressing the main ethnic group of Serbia. In fact, this is not the case. Serbs have never been the majority population of this country.

Croats and Slovenians are pro-German, and they and the Yugoslav Fatherland Army constitute Tito's opposition. The Yugoslav Fatherland Army, which is now gathering pro-German and British factions, has withdrawn from Yugoslavia and headed for the Allied occupation area.

"In fact, we can imagine that the final decision that London may make is to abandon them." Eifel looked at Alan Wilson at a loss, guessing London's final decision, "Maybe the decision will not be so fast, after all, it is mainly Germany now. Surrender ceremony."

"It's like we exchanged the security of Greece, let the Polish government-in-exile in London get out, and handed over Poland to the Soviet Union?" Alan Wilson laughed and laughed at himself, "It is understandable to make such an exchange at the Yalta Conference Yes, the Prime Minister has tried his best to maintain the British presence in Europe. Both the United States and the Soviet Union are powerful negotiating opponents. Intellectually we cannot keep Poland,

It is better to exchange for the safety of Greece. "

"I'm sure that if this still-expanding royalist force falls into Tito's hands, they will all be killed!" Alan Wilson looked at Eifel with a heavy heart, and gave his own assertion , "According to the thinking of the Soviets, this is a class enemy, which is a terrible definition."

The most important thing is that Alan Wilson does not want to do things that sell other countries, Britain, and the interests are occupied by the United States. Britain sold Poland and spared no effort to save Greece. The opposition is still pro-Soviet, and the government will become pro-American. There is nothing wrong with Britain.

If, on the other hand, Britain gets moral praise, it's not bad for the Americans to handle it.

Although the betrayal of Poland was done by Britain, it had nothing to do with Alan Wilson after all, and the report from the Balkans was in his hand. He knew that if he pretended not to see it, he would directly report it to London. It 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 Allen Wilson.

"Alan, in fact, we are beyond our reach. According to the opinion of the Yalta Conference, the British occupied area is in the northwest of Germany, including southern Germany including Bavaria, and the US-occupied area from the French border to Austria. There are British diplomats nearby. But there are no British troops stationed there." Eifel shrugged helplessly, "This is a fact."

"Occupying the coastline of northwestern Germany, including the Ruhr area, is a victory in the diplomatic field. Americans have always been dissatisfied." Alan Wilson smiled indifferently, "I don't know who the chief executive of Bavaria is now."

"I know that. It's a general named Patton." Eifel said relaxedly, and then he was taken aback. Why was this colleague so startled and when did he jump up?

Alan Wilson's face became very exciting, and his thoughts changed sharply, "Oh, it's General Patton!"

"Alan, what's wrong with you?" Eifel 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."

"That's right, I agree." Alan Wilson agreed as soon as he accepted the document. He decided not to hand over the Balkan report to London.

Alan Wilson has seen the dawn of solving these World War II Forgotten problems, although there is no guarantee of success. But he felt that he tried his best, and it would never be worse than history. If the chief executive of Bavaria was not Patton, this matter would be really difficult, and there was no hope at all.
