Chapter 2550

No matter how powerful they are, how big things can be done, when the sun never sets on the British Empire, Continental Equilibrium is extremely proficient, and Germany and France have to endure no matter how dissatisfied they are.

Now the British Empire is the United Kingdom, and the Commonwealth is almost unsustainable, and it is still balanced across this continent.

The agreement reached between the Provisional Government of Yugoslavia and the government-in-exile, according to the standards of southern Africa, is purely foolish, demanding a lot, and not giving any promises. Does Britain still dare to make decisions for the government-in-exile?
Don't be kidding, at this critical time, the British are calm and will definitely not be passionate.

Southern Africa is different.

Joseph can play tricks on the British Empire, but he must not do anything to southern Africa, otherwise Yugoslavia will completely fall to Russia, which is what Joseph does not want to see.

In the final analysis, he is still wandering between the two major forces to profit from it. Joseph is a man who has been imprisoned in Russia. Joseph is very clear about his bearded personality. If he really wants to completely fall to Russia, the interests of Yugoslavia will not be able to get the real meaning on maintenance.

So Joseph just laughed and watched Milovich and Randolph fight each other without saying a word.

"When are you going to start the second round of negotiations with the royal government?" Arthur didn't let Joseph go, testing Joseph's attitude.

"That's not important—" Joseph's words fully proved his attitude towards the Yugoslav royal family.

When Joseph and Shubasic were negotiating in Italy, Winston told Joseph through Shubasic that the British government hoped that Yugoslavia would establish a constitutional monarchy system similar to that of the United Kingdom after the war, on the grounds that a constitutional monarchy would be more conducive to the consolidation of Yugoslavia international status.

The meaning of this is also obvious. The subtext is that if Yugoslavia adopts a republic, it will be rejected by the international community just like Russia after the end of the last world war.

What should I say about Winston's suggestion? It's a little naive!

After the end of the last world war, Russia was the only country in the world that was led by the working class. At that time, Russia was not strong enough. Britain and France joined forces to build the Versailles system, which naturally could exclude Russia from the League of Nations.

Now that the strength of the United Kingdom is greatly weakened, France is overwhelmed, and the Versailles system is completely bankrupt. This does not mean that the United Kingdom is still capable of dealing with Yugoslavia.

Looking at the current situation, more and more countries will join forces with Yugoslavia and Russia to keep warm.

"Our most important task now is to defeat the Axis countries. We will discuss the matter after the war ends. If some factors affect our battle with the Axis countries now, it will be all ours." People's dereliction of duty." Joseph was full of confidence, and the government-in-exile did not have 80 troops.

"Marshal, some problems cannot be solved until the end of the war." Arthur gently reminded that if you step on a wire, the car will overturn if you are not careful.

Joseph did have strength and ideals, but what he faced was not a united Yugoslavia, but a divided Yugoslavia. If Joseph completely rejected the request of the government-in-exile, then Britain would not have no chance.

The Balkans have long been considered the powder keg of Europe.

As the core country in the Balkans, the situation in Yugoslavia is very complicated and there are great hidden dangers. Now it is because of the common enemy Germany that Yugoslavia is forced to unite. If this enemy disappears, the situation will change.

"Lord Cyprus, southern Africa was once a British overseas colony, and you have also suffered from colonization, so I think to a certain extent, our two countries have similar demands. In any case, the kingdom will not be restored in Yugoslavia. "Joseph reiterated his appeal, which is where the biggest differences lie.

Britain wants Yugoslavia to retain its royal family and become a constitutional monarchy.

When Joseph was negotiating with Shubasic, he agreed to form a coalition government including the bourgeoisie, but at the same time asked King Petar II to abdicate on his own initiative.

On this point, Randolph and Joseph had an in-depth exchange in Belgrade. Randolph hoped that Joseph would agree to Petar II's return to Yugoslavia. If Joseph agreed, Petar II could even join the war against Germany as a pilot. war.

Joseph refused very simply, and did not agree to Petar II's entry at all.

When Germany invaded the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, Petar II abandoned the Yugoslavs and went to London to set up a government-in-exile.

Now the People's Guerrillas are about to drive the German army out of Yugoslavia, and the king wants to come back to grab the fruits of victory. How can there be such a good thing.

Arthur can now be sure that Joseph's attitude will not change in a short time.

Let's not talk about it then.

Joseph's greatest confidence comes from Russia. As long as he has Russia's full support, then Joseph has the confidence to reject southern Africa and the United Kingdom.

So the key factor is Milovic.

Milovich is in a good mood. The development of the Yugoslav People's Guerrillas to where they are today with almost no external aid is a pleasant surprise for the Russians.

The situation in Yugoslavia is very good now. As long as Joseph is determined, Yugoslavia will be a loyal ally of Russia, which is a great expansion of Russia's influence.

Yugoslavia is not a landlocked country, and it is next to the Adriatic Sea. If Yugoslavia becomes an ally of Russia, then Russia will bypass the blockade of the Bosporus Strait and radiate its influence to the Mediterranean Sea.

From Joseph's attitude, it is not difficult to see that his dislike for the royal family is from the heart. If the demands of southern Africa and the United Kingdom are rejected, then Yugoslavia can only rely on Russia.

"When is Marshal Malinovsky planning to launch an attack on Vienna?" Arthur took the initiative to approach Milovich to see if he could make a breakthrough with the Russians.

"It's about to start—or it's already started!" Milovich was in a good mood. The Russians no longer needed the ground cooperation of the Southern African Expeditionary Force.

As for air support—

It would be nice to have air support from the Southern African Expeditionary Force.

If not, it doesn't really matter, it's nothing more than the ground troops paying a higher price.

Russia's greatest confidence lies in its seemingly unlimited war potential.

It seems to be focused.

"So this time, how much is Marshal Malinovsky going to pay? 30, or 50?" Arthur directly exposed the scars. In the Battle of Budapest, Russia lost 32 people.

"You don't have to worry about this, even if it's 100 million, Russia can afford it!" Milovich dismissed it. When the number 100 million came out of his mouth, it felt like 100 million rand.

Arthur frowned, he really couldn't accept the attitude of the Russians towards life.

Southern Africa has always been a problem that can be solved with firepower, so ground troops will not be sent to consume it.

Russia's method is completely different from that of southern Africa. Killing eight hundred enemies and losing one thousand feels like earning money.

"But how many times can Russia bear this kind of consumption?" Arthur sprinkled salt on the wound.

The loss of hundreds of thousands or millions in one battle, do you really think the Russians don't feel bad?
In the extreme environment of ice and snow in Russia, the neonatal mortality rate is surprisingly high, and the infant mortality rate is also high. Therefore, to ensure that a family has enough children to grow up, it is necessary to have as many children as possible.

Last July, in order to encourage higher fertility rates, Russia established the title of "Hero Mother", the highest award given to mothers who give birth and raise 10 or more children.

From this title, we can see how much pressure Russia is now under.

On August 2022, 8, Russia will restart this title.

"No matter how many times, we can't stop the determination of the Russians. We have the confidence to fight against any difficulties. The Russians never give in—" Milovich smiled slightly mockingly, as if Arthur didn't understand the Russians' attitude towards life. Like the attitude, Milovic also dislikes the ways of southern Africa.

In Milovich's view, the Federal Government of Southern Africa is no different from the United Kingdom.

Southern Africa treats its own people really well.

But the treatment of servant soldiers and other allied troops is not so good.

This involves a matter of principle. Southern Africans are human beings, so aren't Russians?

"If you were in Russia, you would join the army, go to the front line and fight the Germans like ordinary Russian children, without any special care - I have already lost two children in the Great Patriotic War, and two more One is serving, and last year I sent a child who just met the standards to join the army, even though according to the standards of southern Africa, he is not yet an adult—” Milovich has reason to be proud, Russians in this period are definitely worthy of respect of.

Then everything is for the good of others, and children are for their own good. Tiger poison does not eat its sons. If it is not for lofty ideals, who is willing to let their son participate in a war of narrow escapes?

"My value does not lie in fighting on the frontline as an ordinary soldier, but in coordinating and preparing materials to provide better protection for the frontline troops, because there are some things that only I can do. If the war broke out in southern Africa, the enemy attacked Letoria, like all ordinary southern Africans, I will take up arms and fight the enemy to the end!" Arthur disagreed with Milovich, and the princess took a few photos, which can also play a role in publicity. Arthur did a lot better than the princess.

This is a matter of resource allocation. If Arthur's position is replaced by someone else, it may not be possible to do what Arthur does. At least the Southern African Federal Government will give much less support to Cyprus.

"Of course you would say that, because the war did not break out in southern Africa, so your assumption is not valid. Russia has paid tens of millions of lives to win the war on the battlefield. I hope you can respect them." Milovich said Arthur's antipathy was also deeply rooted.

This is also normal, any Russian will not accept the policy of appeasement and misfortune.

"Of course I respect it. That's why I came to Legion City. I don't want to see more people lose their lives." Arthur's words implied a threat.

Although Rock and Winston did not reach any agreement with Beard.

The Federal Government of Southern Africa and the United Kingdom still have a tacit understanding, that is, Russia's influence cannot expand to the Mediterranean Sea, but can only be limited to the main road, and it cannot threaten the sea lines of communication between the United Kingdom and Southern Africa.

The sea line of communication is the biggest capital to control the world.

If Yugoslavia really fell to Russia in an all-round way, then the federal government of Southern Africa would have to keep up with Britain and restart the Versailles system.

This time, of course, the decision makers will be southern Africa and the United States.

"Russia has already lost tens of millions of people in this war, and it doesn't care about losing more." Milovich has no fear, and it doesn't make much sense to threaten Russia with this kind of thing.

The people's guerrillas led by Joseph were able to use the mountains to fight guerrillas under extremely difficult conditions to drive the Germans out of Yugoslavia.

Milovic and Joseph were equally confident of winning if Southern African and British forces intervened in Yugoslavia.

After the end of World War I, Russia once faced the same situation.

The new Russian government held it up, and this is how it is today.

"Hungary, we can discuss the situation in Hungary." Arthur didn't want to fight unless he had to, especially if his opponent was Russia.

Then swap, which is what the British do best.

Now inherited by Southern Africa.

"What is there to discuss in Hungary?" Milovic seemed to have everything under control, and did not want to expand the scope.

Hungary is north of Yugoslavia.

If Yugoslavia joins the Russian camp, then Hungary will suffer from the enemy, and sooner or later it will become part of the Russian camp.

For Milovic, it's only a matter of time.

Milovic believed that the Hungarian army armed with Russian ideas would easily defeat the minion army supported by southern Africa.

"First of all, we need to make sure that Yugoslavia can form a coalition government—" Arthur just got the "kit" from Rock in Pretoria, and appropriate concessions are also possible.

Dealing with a country like Russia cannot be done overnight and requires patience.

Arthur happened to be a very patient man.

"That's right—" Milovic agreed, part of the deal between Josef and Shubasic.

Joseph agreed to form a coalition government with the government-in-exile on the condition that the king abdicate and establish a republic, which is precisely what Britain cannot accept.

Southern Africa is not interested in a constitutional monarchy. Dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes, and sons of mice can make holes?
In that case, southern Africa is still a British colony.

"Well, Hungary can also form a coalition government—" Arthur was willing to give up part of Hungary's interests in exchange for part of Yugoslavia's interests.

Milovic pondered deeply, the issue was beyond his purview.
