Chapter 58 Friends of Yugoslavia

This trip to Rome has little to do with Alan Wilson. As a diplomat, he naturally has no experience in charge, but he still hopes that Karl and the others will move smoothly and successfully recover the stolen money.

Compared with the cost of the entire British Empire in World War II, the treasure hidden by a small Croatian puppet regime can be described as a drop in the bucket, and it can only be said that it is better than nothing. But for the UK now, any amount of money is very precious.

Britain during the First World War, before the Battle of Somna, it could be said that the Franco-Russian alliance was at the forefront, but it was only after seeing that its allies were no longer able to do so that it exerted all its strength.

World War II was completely different. In the face of Germany's comeback, Britain, especially Churchill, almost exerted its full strength from the beginning. Britain's distrust of the Soviet Union is true, but while distrusting the Soviet Union, it is not ambiguous at all to support the Soviet Union. As soon as the Soviet Union and Germany went to war, the United Kingdom did everything possible to support the Soviet Union with materials without saying a word.

Not only did Britain exert its strength in breastfeeding during World War II, but even the colonies under its jurisdiction were all desperate. In addition to the British mainland, Australia has a population of 7.5 million, and 950,000 people were mobilized to participate in the war. Canada, with a population of 12 million, mobilized 1.5 million people to fight.

By 1945, the per capita wealth of American citizens was twice that of British citizens. This is not the total economic volume, but the per capita. Of course, Alan Wilson cannot benefit from it at this time.

The Croatian depositor who traveled to Italy with MI6 was quickly found. Carl directly took these people on the plane and flew to Rome again.

Alan Wilson and George came to the airport to see them off. After watching the military transport plane accelerate to take off, George said, "Liaison officer, MI6 is going to Rome. I thought you would go with me."

"What am I going to do? Take a share?" Alan Wilson smiled. He was not short of money, but he couldn't explain where the money came from.

Shaking his head, Alan Wilson cautioned, "During the period of post-war reconstruction, of course there are many opportunities to make a fortune, but you are a public official, so you should be careful. We have plenty of time, and we still have to dream a little bit. "

"Liaison officer, what is your dream?" George also knew that Alan Wilson had good intentions, and he must have seen that he had received the benefits of the Croats.

"Of course I'm contributing my strength for the UK." Alan Wilson laughed and said something in neutral terms. Of course he has a dream.

At least we can't just watch, the British Empire, which was the world's first colonial empire in 1945, gradually turned into a disgrace, right? Then it was ridiculed why not give up the position of the United Nations to India?

Alan Wilson does not expect to single-handedly wipe out the strength of the United States and the Soviet Union because of his own existence. But at least it should be better than the United Kingdom in history as a follower of the Americans.

For Britain, it won the war and lost its wealth, and as a former hegemon, it is impossible for the United States to trust Britain. On the surface, Britain can get superficial respect from the United States because of the history of its former hegemon.

Alan Wilson, who did not go to Rome with MI6, continued to plan his own secret operations in the British-occupied areas of Austria. During the second meeting with Mikhailovich, he made a condition.

"Now the border areas, whether it is Serbs, Croats, or Slovenians, put down their weapons immediately. I will contact the troops in the British-occupied area and collect these weapons." Alan Wilson said to Mikhailovich, "We will Those who handed over these weapons to Tito made the appearance that the matter was settled."

"Hand over the weapons?" Mikhailovich hesitated, he felt that once the weapons were handed over, the Yugoslav Fatherland Army would no longer have any bargaining power.

"Mr. Mikhailovich, you have no right to refuse. You can only trust Britain at this point.

"While Alan Wilson was speaking, he held the written document given to him by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Although it was for the Croats, it doesn't matter to show Mikhailovich at this time.

After seeing this British written document, Mikhailovich felt relieved, nodded and agreed, "I hope London can do what it says."

"It depends on whether you can successfully meet General Patton." Allen Wilson changed his voice, "Just get some former German soldiers to help you arrange a meeting, and try it out according to what I said. I will go back to Berlin on June 24, because on June 17, the British army will hold a military parade in Berlin first. If you communicate well with General Patton, it would be best to have a parade on June 2 The day before the 14th, when the joint military parade started, we crossed the border, so that part of the high-level leaders of the United States, the Soviet Union, Britain and France will be in Berlin, which is a good opportunity."

Alan Wilson also just received the news, and asked Mikhailovich to write it down immediately.

The development he hoped for was a de-escalation on the Yugoslav border ahead of the British parade. But during the joint military parade, it suddenly took a turn for the worse. Such a joint military parade is imminent, and the leaders of the allied forces may not have time to respond.

Mikhailovich has contacts with former military groups in Germany. Now in southern Germany, because of General Patton’s undisguised hostility to the Soviet Union, some local German public opinion is singing the praises of General Patton. Why did General Patton protect the Soviet Union? The cream of Western civilization resisted the Soviet Union's ambition to enslave Germany.

I don't know if the German prisoners of war in the Rhine camp will agree with these flattering words.

But this was good for Mikhailovich's trip to Munich. In this way, Mikhailovich, the leader of the Yugoslav Homeland Army, disappeared after this meeting.

Alan Wilson collected all kinds of armed weapons from Yugoslavia in the border area, and optimistically said to the negotiators sent by Tito, "Recently, we in the UK have been persuading these people on the border, and the results are still very remarkable. I believe that as long as they If you return home and get the guarantee that your life is not in danger, the matter will be resolved soon. After all, who wants to leave their homeland?"

"Mr. Allen, we have seen your work recently. You are worthy of being a friend of the Yugoslav people." Dekovic thanked Allen Wilson while shaking his hand.

"When we collect all the weapons from everyone, we will return them to you, and then you can accept them." Alan Wilson, who has been upgraded to an old friend, said that this is what he should do. The relationship will develop more vigorously in the future and so on.

On the border between Austria and Slovenia, armed men of countless different organizations threw their weapons aside. They were downcast, and many of them were struggling. Many believed that the countdown to deportation had begun.
