Chapter 53 Pointing to a Clear Path
Seeing Mikhailovich's stern face, Alan Wilson said casually, "Mr. Mikhailovich, in fact, while I was meeting with you, our diplomats were also talking to Tito's people. Meet."
"This is very in line with the style of the British Empire, isn't it? A few years ago, you let Tito replace the legitimate rights and interests of the Homeland Army in Yugoslavia." Mikhailovich couldn't help standing up after hearing this, but immediately sat down again , said indignantly, "Now, Tito is from the Soviet Union. They are the same as the Soviet Union. Will there be a place for the British Empire in Eastern Europe in the future?"
Mikhailovich, like everyone else in this era, believed that Tito was an appendage of the Soviet Union. In 1945, this was a general consensus. At this time, Tito and Stalin had not turned their faces.
Regarding the situation in Yugoslavia, Alan Wilson has his own understanding. In fact, if the Soviet Union is safe and sound, Yugoslavia will sooner or later look at the position of a camp and adopt a position closer to the Soviet Union. It's just that this time may be after Tito's death. Of course, the map leader wants to commit suicide, and no one can blame this.
"Um, Mr. Mikhailovich, please be quiet." Alan Wilson took out a cigarette and handed it to the other party, and said indifferently when he was rejected, "Tito has Tito's problem, you have your problem Isn’t it? The various problems in Yugoslavia today are also influenced by you. In fact, I really don’t understand what kind of Serbism is promoted by an ethnic group that only accounts for 40% of Yugoslavia. Of course, Croatia is not much stronger in this regard. Now You and the hostile Croats were chased by Tito here, is this also the fault of the British Empire?"
The main force of the Yugoslav Fatherland Army is the Serbs, and what they promote is Greater Serbiaism. Alan Wilson didn't know that this had something to do with Tito's insistence on promoting co-governance among all ethnic groups after the war, but it is clear that the existence of the Fatherland Army can be regarded as a political correctness for Tito.
However, it is the Croats of the same ethnic group that Tito liquidated the most ruthlessly. It is unjustifiable to say that Tito deliberately did something to the Serbs for the sake of his own nation.
"I don't intend to talk to you here. Who should bear the moral guilt? This is not my purpose." Alan Wilson took back the words. Ilovich is different, this is the opponent's chance to survive.
Mikhailovich also came back to his senses and understood that the meeting between the two was not a negotiation of equals. They are finished, and the British Empire will have nothing to lose. Maybe it can make a good relationship with Tito. .
Conversely, Mikhailovich and the current fugitives will be exterminated by Tito. As early as a month ago, Tito had publicly announced that he called on the Belgrade radio station to call on the pro-Axis powers in his country to surrender as soon as possible, otherwise he would be treated mercilessly.
How will they be treated ruthlessly when they return to Yugoslavia? Mikhailovich could guess it without thinking...
"A traitor to the country? An enemy of the people?" Just when Mikhailovich was in a state of confusion, Alan Wilson said in a chilly tone, "How many people on the border can survive now? 100% Ten? Maybe five percent, but for Mr. Mikhailovich, and the leaders of other organizations, it is zero."
Mikhailovich's face changed for a while, and his heart sank to the bottom of the valley. He knew that all hope was in the young diplomat in front of him, and he opened his mouth and said, "Mr. Worked hard."
"Well!" Alan Wilson tapped the table rhythmically in his hands. Mikhailovich answered the wrong intention and hurriedly said, "We also have some accumulations. In fact, this kind of thing that involves so many lives may It will add a great burden to the British Empire, and everyone will not object to the property accumulated in our years of war in exchange for life safety."
The sound stopped, Alan Wilson thought, he didn't mean it at all,
He was just thinking about how to get Mikhailovich to go to the US-occupied area, but since the other party replied wrongly, he took advantage of the slope to get off the donkey, and pretended to decline, "It's good if you can understand this, but this It has to be kept secret, you know, and it's very difficult from the London point of view."
"I understand that Tito is not an easy character to deal with." As the leader of the opposing camp against Tito, Mikhailovich is well aware of the strength of his opponent.
"Who said Tito? I'm not talking about Tito." Alan Wilson sneered, and said sarcastically, "I'm talking about the Soviets. Today the Soviet Union no longer exists, and the next day you can see the formation of the coalition forces and enter Yugoslavia."
Just look at the disintegration of the Soviet Union on the front foot, the civil war broke out in Yugoslavia on the back foot, Germany first armed the Slovenian armed forces, still don’t understand?
Mikhailovich listened to Alan Wilson's correction in astonishment, and quickly apologized because his perspective was too narrow.
If Mikhailovich's perspective was not narrow, he would not have come to the British to surrender. But it’s not important, this meeting didn’t even save the translation, only the two of them, Alan Wilson said after emphasizing again and again, “On the surface, we will not accept the surrender of you and these hundreds of thousands of people, not just the British , at the official level the United States and France will also play deaf and dumb."
"However, if there is an unstoppable resistance, we are a democratic country after all, and we will not shoot unarmed people." Alan Wilson revealed seemingly unintentionally, "Who made the British army in Austria only have two battalions now?" Well, defending such a large border is powerless."
"Mr. Allen, thank you very much." Mikhailovich was overjoyed when he heard that Allen Wilson had already revealed the reality of the Austrian British army, which was an incomprehensible hint.
"Mr. Mikhailovich, I didn't say anything, please stay calm." Alan Wilson waved his hand and said, "Actually, there is no solution on the official level, and out of respect for life, so I just Can secretly think of a way. The fewer people who know about this matter, the better. On the surface, we still need to make a show. This is just the beginning. We must complete every step carefully. Disastrous consequences. If it fails, Mr. Mikhailovich, you will naturally return to Yugoslavia to wait to be shot, and I may also become a scapegoat."
"To the north of the British-occupied area is the American-occupied area. I will provide you with a road map of the border between the American-occupied area and the French-occupied area." Allen Wilson crossed his fingers, "This is the most critical step, Mikhailo Mr. Vitch, you should meet the Chief Executive of Bavaria, General Patton, as soon as possible."
