Chapter 60 The Undercurrent of Calmness

The MI6 agents brought by Karl immediately took out the gold and gemstones stored by the Croats after learning the news that the Vatican Bank was willing to cooperate, and then directly transported them to 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 US military in Italy. Of course, Germany's four-nation occupation is more noticeable, but it does not mean that Italy, which is also a defeated country, is peaceful.

The United States, Britain and France enjoy themselves in Italy? This situation is of course impossible, and the division of Italian heritage is also tit-for-tat.

The U.S. and the U.K. have extended many loans to Italy, and the U.S. alone has lent billions of dollars to Italy. If Italy wants to pay reparations to the victorious powers, especially the Soviet Union, it can only pay with loans from the United States. Of course, the United States did not agree, saying that Italy could pay compensation to the Soviet Union, but it must not use American money to borrow flowers and offer Buddhas to benefit the Soviet Union in vain.

The Soviet Union's move to supplement its own industry while dismantling machines in Germany has aroused the vigilance of the Americans. On the issue of Italy, the United States firmly opposes compensating the Soviet Union with industrial machinery. In the end, a compromise was reached, and Italy used the product to make compensation, but it would be done after Italy recovered.

Italy also has overseas colonies. On the issue of colonies, it has become a battlefield for the confrontation between the United States, Britain and France. Italy has many colonies in Africa. Britain wants to occupy Italian Somalia, which was previously controlled by Italy, and proposes a big Somalia plan to merge Italian Somalia into British Somalia.

France did not want Britain to take too much advantage, and believed that Italy's colonies could not be easily changed. After all, Italy was not as sinful as Germany.

The attitude of the United States towards the Italian African colonies is that they should not be easily divided up, and should be entrusted to the United Nations, which is already under preparation. The United Nations headquarters will definitely be in the United States, and the United States can take advantage of this to exert favorable influence in the Italian African colonies.

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. Concerning the identities of the defeated countries of Germany and Italy, there is an extended contention. Of course this has nothing to do with Alan Wilson!

Since he was directly responsible for discovering the stolen money in Croatia, after MI6 took the treasure, Alan Wilson was told that the operation was successful, but he didn't know the value of the wealth.

But it doesn't matter, he himself has never been tempted by this money. Britain urgently needs to get money from anywhere now, no less than the possession of a thief king. When the money arrives in London, he, the liaison officer, will always be credited. 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 him looking for a contact with General Patton, the German second-level army general, the eleventh Panzer Division Commander Hermann Balck.

During the Battle of Stalin, Hermann Balck, the commander of the 11th Armored Division, once fought in the Don River, in the entire defensive zone of the German Don River Defense Line, and made continuous assaults. It was 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 voluntarily surrendered received a special courtesy from General Patton of the U.S. Third Army, which has always been known for its arrogance. Patton unexpectedly said to the commander of the armored division: "We have a tie. Your troops are capable of fighting well and are world-class troops."

Hermann Balck then came to live in Bavaria, and was considered by General Patton to be a professional soldier implementing the policies of the Third Reich. The two often talked about the current situation. The common point was that both of them were very dissatisfied with the Soviet Union.

Herman Balck fought bloody battles with the Soviet Red Army on the Eastern Front for several years, while Patton believed that the Soviet Union had become an enemy of the United States' dominance of the world order, and he must take advantage of the current opportunity to eliminate the Soviet Union.

It was at this time that Mikhailovich met Hermann Balck,

And made a tearful request, "We, the troops who fought side by side with the German soldiers, have reached the time when we have to ask you for help. On the Austrian border, the British prevent us from surrendering to Britain, and may even send us back to Yugoslavia. Once we Back in Yugoslavia, everyone will be wiped out, Admiral Hermann, you know how the Soviets behave, Tito is the same as the Soviets."

"Aren't the British former supporters of the Homeland Army?" Hermann Balck frowned and asked, "Why are they so ruthless and just gave up on you?"

"Admiral Herman, the British have always been like this." Mikhailovich has been repeatedly indoctrinated by Alan Wilson, and because he will be purged by Tito once he is repatriated, he followed Hull mercilessly Man cursed the British, "I understand that the only chance now is in Bavaria's military and political chief, General Patton. I heard that he is very tolerant of many German soldiers."

"General Herman, once the war with the Soviet Union breaks out, I believe that the Allied Forces will also need to attack Yugoslavia." Mikhailovich pleaded with grief, "Can I meet with him. "

"This?" Hermann Balck fell into deep hesitation. Of course, he, the German second-level general, was also dissatisfied with the current situation that Germany was occupied by the four countries.

Once the pattern of four-nation occupation is determined, Germany will be divided from then on, and it may never be possible to reunify. These are the reasons why a group of German soldiers did everything possible to encourage the Americans to directly join forces and attack the Soviet Union eastward.

As long as the war resumes, German soldiers in prisoner-of-war camps around the country will be released, and Germany’s independent status will be restored during the war. This kind of agitation is not ineffective. Bavaria’s military and political chief, General Patton, has become increasingly dissatisfied with the Soviet Union. That's a huge achievement.

"I'll find a private occasion for you to meet with General Patton. But I won't say anything. You can tell him yourself." After a long thought, Hermann Balck seemed to have made up his mind and agreed Create a chance for Mihajlovic.

The scenery of Bavaria's manor is always fascinating at night. Although Europe has regained its calm, the secret struggle is still going on, Germany's partition occupation, Italy's colonial division, and refugees on the Austrian border. Farther away, the armed confrontation in Greece, not to mention the resistance of Japan in the Far East.

In the first half of 1945, the whole world was far from being at peace, and some people even wanted the war to continue.

"Unless the positions of Patton and Eisenhower are reversed." Alan Wilson shook his head. It may be a coincidence. He also wondered whether it is possible for the United States to continue the war, but he still thought it was almost impossible.
