Chapter 44 Germany Surrenders
Under the current circumstances, neither the United States nor the United Kingdom is willing to provoke the forces of the Soviet Union at this time. Tito in Yugoslavia happened to be what the two countries considered a subsidiary force of the Soviet Union.
It is definitely not accidental that the Yugoslav Fatherland Army supported by the United Kingdom was abandoned. After all, this is not the first time for the United Kingdom. The Polish government-in-exile in London has already been sold once, and it is no big deal to sell the Yugoslav Fatherland Army again.
But for Alan Wilson, after all, this is hundreds of thousands of lives. After the repatriation of these Yugoslav fatherland troops, as many as 100,000 people were purged. For these fringe groups in World War II, the future fate is too much cruel.
The direct reason is that the British Empire did not do things properly. Knowing what the fate of these people was, and because it was the British who were at fault, Alan Wilson was really thinking of a way to see if there was any way to save these people.
Hearing that the chief executive of Bavaria is Barton, Alan Wilson suddenly felt that there was no escaping road.
Four-star general Patton, this name is well-known in later generations. For Patton, the best war will never end. Like Churchill, Patton's hostility to the Soviet Union is also very obvious. The difference is that Churchill stole it. And Patton has even begun to prepare for war with the Soviet Union.
The end of the world war means that Patton's path to realizing the value of life is coming to an end. If the Soviet-American war breaks out, then continue to command the US military to march eastward, gain higher honors, and step into the pinnacle of his military career. All of this will be logical Rather than saying that he is thinking about the two countries, the two nations, and the two political systems, it is better to say that he is thinking about himself.
If there is a way to connect the Yugoslavian Fatherland Army with Patton, who is currently in charge of Bavaria, Alan Wilson believes that Patton may agree with these Tito opponents to stay in Bavaria temporarily. Because Patton himself can make such a decision with his purely military thinking.
All that was needed was someone in the middle to arrange a meeting between the leader of the Yugoslav Fatherland Army and General Patton.
As the evening approached, diplomats like Alan Wilson changed their place of residence to a peaceful place and spent the night preparing for the second surrender ceremony the next day. They had already received news that Field Marshal Montgomery and American five-star general Eisenhower will be present.
The British diplomats who prepared the documents for the official surrender complained very much about the Soviet Union’s overstaffed behavior, “Didn’t the Germans surrender once, and the Soviets will make them surrender a second time.”
"According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Kremlin was dissatisfied with the last surrender." Alan Wilson said helplessly while flipping through the documents, "The Soviets and the Germans fought bloody battles for several years, and the surrender was ignored, so it is only natural to protest As it should be."
In Reims, a small city in northeastern France, a signing ceremony for Germany's unconditional surrender had already been held. At that time, the German government sent Admiral Jodl as a signing representative.
Under the protest of the Soviet Union, in order to maintain the unity among the Allies in World War II and avoid the embarrassment of tearing up the face just after defeating Germany, and also counted on the Soviet Red Army to help the United States solve Japan, the Anglo-American Allies and the Soviet Union reached an agreement and decided to be in the next day. In Berlin, another surrender ceremony was held under the auspices of the Soviet Union. The surrender ceremony was indeed much more grand, and both sides sent officials of almost the highest level to attend.
"All the documents have been prepared, and we are waiting for the surrender ceremony tomorrow. It will definitely be very lively. The Soviets will definitely make the scene grand." Alan Wilson stretched his waist and yawned.
"It's as if you know the Soviet Union very well." Eifel smiled dismissively, "You should be checked by MI6."
"This joke is not funny." Alan Wilson said solemnly. Now there are indeed spies in the UK, even in MI6.
The next morning, Alan Wilson and other diplomats got up early, not to go to the Berlin market to find a German woman who could be rescued, but to meet Air Force Admiral Ted,
Admiral Ted was the representative who signed on behalf of the United Kingdom at the surrender ceremony. Although Montgomery and Eisenhower were sure to attend, they only came to express the unity among the Allies. Because they had already signed a contract before, the signer who accepted the surrender of Germany this time represented another person.
Representatives from various countries drove to Karlshorst on the outskirts of Berlin. Along the way, cars with national flags flew through the urban area of Berlin. On the corners of the streets, countless Berlin citizens secretly watched the victor's bravado, and their hearts were full of complexities.
"You see, they look pitiful now. If they were relocated, they would definitely not look like this." Alan Wilson tilted his head and said to his colleagues, "Think about how they humiliated the French a few years ago. Everything is wrong. reason."
Exercising out of the urban area, both sides of the road have been occupied by soldiers of the Soviet Red Army. Just like Alan Wilson said, how to make a scene grand, the Soviet Union does have such a talent.
The surrender site was already crowded with people and surrounded by Soviet officers and soldiers. Representatives of the surrender from the United States, Britain, and France got out of the car one after another and saluted the officers and soldiers of the Soviet Red Army.
Journalists from various countries seized the opportunity to take pictures, and the shutter sound kept recording this scene that demonstrated the unity of the Allies and safeguarded world peace.
Under the auspices of Marshal Zhukov of the Soviet Union, this time, the ceremony known as the formal acceptance of surrender began. Zhukov read out the request for unconditional surrender on behalf of the Soviet Union. When the German representative, Marshal Keitel, led the German delegation to the signing hall, he raised his hand The scepter salutes the allied representatives.
Compared with the surrender ceremony of the Allied Forces on the Western Front, the Soviets were obviously much stricter, but the French representative, General Delancey, appreciated this move very much. Five years ago, Marshal Keitel, who is now representing Germany to surrender, was the French leader at that time. The German representatives at the surrender ceremony, not to mention the famous humiliation of the Foch carriage.
Feng Shui turns, and war is a winner-takes-all game. General Delancey will represent France today, and together with the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union, will witness Germany's unconditional surrender. Air Force Admiral Ted, representing the United Kingdom, and General Delancey, representing France In the presence of Montgomery and Eisenhower, General Spazz, commander of the US Strategic Air Force, and Soviet Marshal Zhukov signed the surrender letter.
All around, countless officers and soldiers shouted loudly, shouting for the hard-won peace. Montgomery and Eisenhower stepped forward and took a group photo with Soviet Marshal Zhukov to celebrate the official surrender of Germany.
"I am also a witness of history, although I don't have a place for me." Alan Wilson looked at this scene with his waist pinched, and he was also happy with the end of the war.
