Chapter 78 Joint Military Parade

At midnight on June 23, the Austrian border, which had been silent for a long time, boiled like a volcano. Soldiers of the Yugoslav Fatherland Army and their families rushed to the road to freedom under the shady curtain of being invisible.

The future is uncertain, and I feel anxious. Amidst the yelling of the men, the women and children got on the cart, or walked northward directly. The British did not know such a big movement, but the Croats who were close to the Serb camp, Slovenia It is impossible for people not to know.

Soon the news spread, and the Croats and Slovenians were moved after hearing the news. Although they didn't know the specific situation, their instincts drove them to follow the actions of the Serbs.

This has to mention the history of Yugoslavia. The modern history of Yugoslavia can be summarized as the history that Serbia established Greater Yugoslavia to annex and integrate other nations but failed.

In Yugoslavia, the Serbian population is only a majority among individual ethnic groups, but it is far from reaching half. The name "Serbian-Croatian-Slovenian Kingdom" when the first Yugoslavia was established shows the attributes of this country. It is a country formed by different Yugoslav nations. In addition to the population of Serbia, the number of ethnic groups in other districts is far greater than that of Serbia.

Although the Serbs are not the main ethnic group, in the short history of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, the Serbs did occupy a dominant position and have the ability to influence other ethnic groups. This ability is subtle.

Regardless of whether it is a Croatian or a Slovenian, although they are hostile to the Serbs, they subconsciously act according to the Serbs. At midnight on this day, this psychological expression was vividly displayed.

There was such a big movement in the Serbian camp that it was known to the neighboring Croats. Although they didn’t know what the Serbs’ purpose was, under Tito’s high pressure, the Croats and the Serb-dominated Homeland Army were at odds. Report a group to keep warm in an environment.

As for this kind of psychology, seeing the Serbs heading north, the Croats instinctively followed, and then the Slovenians, and the domino effect appeared.

At midnight, the Austrian border was bustling, as noisy as a downtown, with torches and people intertwined, moving towards the north.

If someone can open the perspective of God and notice the details of this movement, they will be very surprised to find that the movement involving 200,000 people has perfectly avoided the camp where the occupying army is located.

Of course, this is also reasonable. After all, the situation in Austria is special now. The British army has only two battalions in the British-occupied area of ​​Austria, and the occupied areas of the United States and France are similar. Austria is actually under the control of the Soviet army. In the overall situation, the Soviet Red Army was in the Soviet-occupied area, giving courtesy to the United States, Britain and France.

This loophole, which even the parties involved would not notice, has become a fatal negligence at this time, and it has become a footnote to this escape that shocked the world.

The fugitives who moved north were full of strength, the way of life was ahead, and all the fatigue and anxiety disappeared. Going north and north and then north is their only purpose now.

At this time, there are no Serbs, no Croats, no Slovenians, they are all one kind of people, people who avoid being deported back to Tito to liquidate.

Under the night, a long army of people composed of torches awakened Austria from its tranquility, but for Europe, which has gone through many years of war, this little noise is actually nothing.

Berlin, hundreds of kilometers away, is holding a victory celebration. Unlike history, this time the victory parade was three months earlier, and the friendship that just defeated Germany is still there, and the expected Potsdam Conference is a few days away It will also be held, and the United States, the Soviet Union, Britain and France are all trying their best to create an atmosphere of unity.

Everyone knows that the war is not over yet,

Japan is still dying, and the British and American troops on the front line in the Pacific are still fighting fiercely with the Japanese army. At this time, it is very important to persuade the Soviet Union to join the war against Japan.

Before the meeting started, in fact, everything can only be regarded as unknown. As far as Alan Wilson knew, there were already some signs of emergency medical treatment on the eve of Japan's defeat, and even put hope on the Soviet Union.

Counting on the mediation of the Soviet Union, the United States, which is pressing on every step of the way, withdraws from the war conditionally. This is not incomprehensible. In fact, just like the Germans hoped to surrender to the Western Front, the Germans knew very well what immoral things they had done on the Eastern Front, so they avoided falling into the hands of the Soviets.

The psychology of the Japanese is just the opposite. When choosing between the Soviet Union and the Americans, it is very normal for the Japanese to pin their hopes on the Soviet Union and avoid being dealt with by the Americans.

At 8 o'clock in the morning, at the Berlin military parade site, the soldiers from the United States, the Soviet Union, Britain and France have already prepared for the military parade. At the same time, the Soviet victory parade followed the same steps on the Red Square in Moscow. Marshal Rokossovsky served as the commander-in-chief of the parade on Red Square, while Marshal Zhukov served as the commander-in-chief of the joint parade in Berlin.

Rokossovsky appeared on Red Square with the bell of the Kremlin bell tower. After the command "Stand at attention, the military parade begins", the bell rang ten times, and the military band played Glinka's famous song "Glory-Russia People", Marshal Rokossovsky rode a white horse through the Spassky Gate into Red Square, the commander-in-chief of the military parade Marshal Rokossovsky reported to Stalin: "Comrade Stalin, active troops, naval forces and Moscow garrison The team to participate in the military parade has been formed, please review!"

"Ulla..." Alan Wilson naturally couldn't hear Moscow's angry cheers, but at the joint military parade in Berlin, Soviet soldiers shouted Ulla to Marshal Zhukov, which also made participants from other countries look sideways.

Even Eisenhower and Marshal Montgomery recognized the mental state displayed by the Soviet soldiers under review.

"What I see are the brave faces of the soldiers who have been honed by the fire of war and the joyful eyes; it is the newly-made military uniforms worn by the soldiers, and the medals and medals are shining on the military uniforms." Marshal Zhukov said to the soldiers who were reviewed. In his speech, "People who cherish peace all over the world are grateful for the contributions of brave soldiers. This gratitude includes the Soviet Union, as well as its great allies, the United States, Britain, France and other allies. Today, in this grand celebration On the celebration day, we would like to express our great and lofty respect to them, and the glory belongs to all the heroes who died for this war."

"Ulla!" Zhukov's speech finished, and the Soviet soldiers at the joint military parade shouted again.

General Eisenhower glanced at Marshal Montgomery with inexplicable eyes, and he felt that he should talk to the British.
