Chapter 52 Secret Meeting

"On the surface, it is still under control. We have mobilized all the staff here, persuaded the Yugoslavs, and gathered all the armed personnel to defend the border." George, a diplomat from Carinthia, answered hastily, Follow Alan Wilson who just got off the car.

"On the surface? Concentrated all the armed personnel? Ah!" Alan Wilson's body paused slightly, and he opened his mouth to face the northwest direction, as if he wanted the northwest to calm down his somewhat chaotic mind. After a while, he said , "Let's explain the actual situation directly."

With this kind of phrasing, it is basically concluded that the situation is more serious than it appears. As for concentrating all armed personnel on guard against the border? It depends on how many British troops there are in the British-occupied area. According to Alan Wilson's knowledge and the actual situation in Austria, there are currently only two battalions of the British army in the British-occupied area of ​​Austria.

Otherwise, how could he say that the combined occupying forces of the three countries would be the same as none in front of the Soviet occupying forces stationed in Austria.

"Because there are some Slovenians living in southern Carinthia itself, the Austrian government has been paralyzed, we don't know how many of these Slovenians are, there may be many refugees from Yugoslavia, we don't know about them, Austria is now in a In the state of occupation, we cannot organize the troops of the former Austrian government to do things, but fortunately, there are no signs of a large number of refugees crossing the border." George explained the actual situation and looked at Alan Wilson cautiously.

It is said that there are many skills and specialties. Regardless of Alan Wilson's unexpected age, he is currently the British liaison officer in Europe. If he wants to, he can definitely include George's work on refugee issues in the report, saying It's a mess.

But Alan Wilson is obviously in a good mood. There is no large number of refugees crossing the border now. , It seems that the situation has been stabilized, let's work together to see how to solve this problem, by the way, prepare a map for me."

After that, he entered the British residence of the richest man in Klagenford. Klagenfurt is a big city in southern Austria, but a big city by European standards is not the same concept as a big city in the East. In fact, there are only tens of thousands of residents here.

This place is 30 kilometers away from the Yugoslav border and 60 kilometers away from Italy. It is a standard border city.

Holding the map of Carinthia, I was not planning to do anything to Yugoslavia or Italy, but to plan whether these refugees could avoid the attention of the Soviet Red Army and reach southern Germany where General Patton was the administrator.

On the surface, it can be done. The north of the British-occupied area of ​​Austria is the American-occupied area, and the American-occupied area of ​​Austria is connected to the American-occupied area of ​​Germany. However, in consideration of the success rate, it is better not to take a road. Western Austria is the French-occupied area, and the success rate is the highest from there, but the road may be farther.

After a bit of geography knowledge, Alan Wilson appeared again at dinner time and said to the local British diplomats, "We must talk to the leaders of these Yugoslavs, not just the leaders of the Homeland Army. It is better to talk to people, and to talk to Tito’s people, it’s best to eliminate the hostility between everyone, I don’t think this is a problem, after all, we have contacts before.”

The relationship between Britain and Tito is not bad. Before that, Britain supported Tito to replace the Yugoslav Fatherland Army as the power representing Yugoslavia, and few people know that the liaison officer beside Tito before was called Randolph Churchill, the son of Churchill, Prime Minister of the British Empire. .

Alan Wilson, who has inherited the British Empire's tradition of stepping on two boats, is not prepared to only talk to these Tito opponents, if these Tito opponents cannot cooperate in accordance with his planned future. Nor could he rule out the possibility of selling the Yugoslav Fatherland Army again.

After Alan Wilson discussed with George,

Let George contact Tito, and prepare to meet with the Yugoslav Fatherland Army and the leaders of various organizations mixed in it.

The leader of the Yugoslav Fatherland Army, Draca Mikhailovich, served as the deputy chief of staff of the Second Army when the German army invaded. anti-German struggle. Supported by King Peter II of England and in London.

Of course, Britain turned to support Tito later, the evolution of which is more complicated, and now Germany has been defeated, and Mikhailovich, who was forced by Tito and had nowhere to go, thought of the British Empire, led the remnants of the Yugoslav Fatherland Army, and other Titos Opponents came to the Austrian border, hoping for a certain way out.

After learning that the new liaison officer was going to meet him under secret conditions, Mikhailovich felt a glimmer of hope. Given his current situation, even if World War III broke out, it would be a good thing.

Mikhailovich came, and crossed the border to the meeting place prepared by Allen Wilson. It was just an ordinary small house, not only lacking in grandeur, but even a bit shabby.

Alan Wilson wasn't even ready to translate, he had heard that Mikhailovich knew some English. The door was pushed open, and Mikhailovich, who was also alone, came in. Their eyes met, and both of them were surprised.

Mikhailovich was shocked by Alan Wilson's age, but he was relieved immediately. The liaison officer who was with him at the time, Randolph Churchill, was actually less than thirty years old.

Alan Wilson was surprised by Mikhailovich's attire. The other party's attire was exactly that of an Imperial Russian Cossack veteran, with a beard on his face, which looked more like it.

"Mr. Mikhailovich, please sit down." Allen Wilson stood up and motioned, "I came to you today about the future of the hundreds of thousands of people in the current border area. Please forgive the poor conditions here. Out of some Reason, we can only meet under this condition."

Mikhailovich pulled out a chair, sat down and said in half-baked English, "When will the liaison officer of the British Empire have to talk to the recipient on this occasion, but I agree with one thing, this The lives of hundreds of thousands of people were involved. In fact, my purpose is to save the lives of these subordinates, so I came here to surrender to the British Empire. We abandoned people just want to survive."

"Yes, this is our common goal." Alan Wilson lowered his voice, "But this matter is still difficult and requires our joint efforts, Mr. Mikhailovich, I believe you are also aware of the current situation. I understand that almost the entire territory of Yugoslavia has been controlled by Tito, and this situation makes London very embarrassed."
