The most powerful thing about Joseph is that he did not rely on southern Africa or Russia, he established the People's Guerrilla from scratch, and then drove the German army out of Yugoslavia by himself.

By the time the high-level Allied Forces noticed, the People's Guerrilla Army was already full-fledged, and Joseph already had 80 people under his command, so in essence, southern Africa and Russia had limited influence on Yugoslavia.

After all, the Provisional Government of Yugoslavia was established by the Yugoslav Communist Party, and it was from the same division as the Communist International, so it is understandable that Joseph has a better relationship with Russia.

A good relationship does not mean copying the Russian model.

During the negotiations with Shubasic, Joseph had already decided to form a coalition government. The only dispute now is the distribution of power between the interim government and the government-in-exile.

Compared with the coalition government, the interim government and the government-in-exile are grassroots teams. Under normal circumstances, the coalition government has at least [-] to [-] departments. There are also great differences between departments. Compared with the Minister of Finance, it is nothing.

Joseph asked the people's guerrillas to occupy at least 90.00% of the ministerial posts, and cover all important departments, leaving the government-in-exile only the unimportant Ministry, Ministry of Reclamation, Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications, Ministry of Information, etc. department.

Although Shubasic has little political ambitions, he cannot accept such an arrangement.

No matter what the name implies, it means nothing, no rights at all, purely for display.

The Ministry of Reclamation is in charge of opening up wasteland and farming. If you let the princes and nobles of Yugoslavia who used to be aloof to do this job, who is so poor!
The Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications and the Ministry of Information are similar in nature, one is responsible for delivering letters, and the other is responsible for writing articles to tout, not to say that these two are not important, but compared with the departments of national defense, industry, and foreign affairs, their importance plummets.

Shubasic hopes that in the coalition government, the power of the government-in-exile will be split [-]-[-] with the provisional government.

This condition seemed fair, but Joseph could not accept it.

When the German army invaded, the king and princes and nobles all ran away, leaving a group of mud-legged people in Yugoslavia, who went into the valley to fight against the German army. It took four full years to drive the German army out of Yugoslavia.

Now the nobles will be [-]-[-] as soon as they come back, with whom?

The reason why Arthur made this suggestion was to hope that Russia could put some pressure on Joseph to force Joseph to accept Arthur's plan.

For Russia, Yugoslavia was a complete surprise.

Hungary, however, is bound to win for Russia.

The situation in Hungary is a bit complicated now. Malinovsky drove the wolf away and successfully drove the Germans away.

Southern Africa is an ally of Russia. Although in terms of military strength, the Russian army in Hungary is tens of thousands more than that in Southern Africa, the bearded man cannot directly fight with Southern Africa. This task can only be temporarily established by Russia with the help of Hungary. The government is done.

So here comes the problem.

In the Battle of Hungary, the resistance encountered by the Russian army was much stronger than that of the Southern African Expeditionary Force.

Although the Russian army is invincible, the price paid is still a bit high, and the losses caused are higher. Therefore, the degree of damage in the area controlled by the Russian army is much greater than that controlled by the Southern African Expeditionary Force.

Russia's support for the Hungarian interim government is not comparable to that of southern Africa.

Southern Africa is powerful, and the Hungarian servant army has everything they want, including weapons and equipment. The training instructors are all senior veterans hired from the umbrella company. In addition, the control area has not suffered much damage, and it is easier to recruit soldiers. It now appears that the strength of the servant army far exceeds that of the provisional government.

Russia has a way too.

If the strength is not enough, foreign aid will come in. The Hungarians and Russians are actually similar in appearance. Pick out three or five divisions and change their clothes, and they will directly become the provisional government army.

So both sides are now gearing up for a civil war.

Of course it is best not to fight.

Arthur has shown his attitude now. If Yugoslavia is willing to make a concession, Arthur can also exchange part of Hungary's interests with Russia.

Milovich is still very tempted by this plan.

Compared with Yugoslavia, Hungary is closer to Russia, and it is very suitable to describe it as elbow and armpit disease and mange.

Don't say it's just an exchange of part of the benefits.

Even if Arthur proposed to exchange Hungary with Yugoslavia, the bearded man would seriously consider it.

Arthur threw the bait out and didn't care. Some things need to be fermented, and it's useless to worry.

Joseph was not in a hurry. He went to Russia at the end of last year and got a promise from Moscow that Russia would fully support it. That's why Joseph had the confidence to refuse the British request.

When Milovich urgently contacted Russia, Arthur was not idle.

The opinion put forward by Willard is not his own meaning, but the wish of all Garibaldi people.

If the people living in the Garibaldi peninsula were Ottomans, Arthur could ignore them.

But now most of the people living in the Garibaldi Peninsula are family members of former League of Nations officers and soldiers, and a large part of them are Chinese, so Arthur has to seriously consider this issue.

The Garibaldi Peninsula is the gateway to the Ottoman Republic. If you want to be self-governing, you must first obtain the consent of the Ottoman Republic.

The president of the Ottoman Republic, Anatolia, is now also in Legion City.

Although Arthur did not hold any position in the Ottoman Republic, his power was about the same as that of the governor. This time Arthur chose Legion City to meet Joseph, and the Ottoman Republic still attached great importance to it.

"Self-government—" Anatolia was confused.

Self-government is no small matter, and the next step may be independence.

It’s fine if it’s just the Garibaldi Peninsula. What Anatolia is worried about is that after the Garibaldi Peninsula is autonomous, other regions will follow suit and demand autonomy. At that time, the president of Anatolia may not be in power for a few days. .

"I can assure you that autonomy is the end, and the Garibaldi people will not make more excessive demands. We just hope that we will not be disturbed by the outside world and live freely in Garibaldi—" Willard said, Anatolia doesn't believe a word of it.

Don't listen to what Willard is saying now, no one can guarantee what will happen in the future.

Southern Africa is a good example.

When Ade was in office, Southern Africa did not show any ambitions. He honestly opened up wasteland and mines, and transfused blood to the UK. He was a first-class citizen.

After Philip took office, the ambitions of southern Africa swelled, and the offerings to the United Kingdom became less and less, and the expenses required increased. In the end, the United Kingdom was overwhelmed and southern Africa became independent.

Arriving at Roque, Southern Africa has become full-fledged. It not only competes with the British Empire, but also blatantly digs into the corners of the British Empire, digging holes in the once never-setting sun. A teacher who never forgets the future.

So even if Villard established written evidence, Anatolia would not believe it.

In the past few years since the outbreak of World War II, there have been too many breaches of contracts between countries. The spirit of contract that European and American countries have always touted has disappeared. Whoever believes in the binding force of black and white is a fool.

"Lord, do you think so too?" Anatolia hoped to get fair treatment from Arthur.

Arthur called both Anatolia and Willard over, not to force Anatolia to agree to Willard's request, but to discuss what should be done about this matter.

Willard is a southern African, and Anatolia is also the president of the Ottoman Republic chosen by Arthur himself.

Even if Arthur wanted to take care of the southern Africans, he couldn't chill Anatolia's heart.

Not to mention that a bowl of water is flat, at least face-worthy.

If Anatolia does not win any benefits for the Ottoman Republic and agrees to the autonomy of the Garibaldi Peninsula, then Anatolia will become a sinner of the Ottoman Republic.

The unforgivable kind.

"Rights and obligations are equal. If you want to get more benefits, you have to make greater sacrifices. How are you going to compensate Constantinople?" Arthur didn't say that the palms of his hands and the backs of his hands were full of flesh. , the five fingers are not even.

Compared with the Ottoman Republic, Arthur must have taken more care of the feelings of the southern Africans.

As for whether it harms the interests of the Ottoman Republic——

Sorry, Arthur is not the President of the Ottoman Republic.

Of course, Arthur will not be too obvious. Anatolia's performance as the president of the Ottoman Republic is quite good, and she is very obedient.

It is important to be obedient.

The head is determined by the butt, and with the improvement of status, thoughts will also change. When the Bavarian corporal joined the army, he certainly never thought that one day he would trigger a world war with his own hands.

The same goes for Anatolia.

Now that he became the president of the Ottoman Republic, Anatolia's thinking will also change, and Arthur is still very satisfied that he can still be "obedient" at this time.

"We are more supportive of Constantinople's decision. The Garibaldi Peninsula is an inseparable part of the Ottoman Republic forever. The loyalty of the Garibaldi people to the Ottoman Republic will never change-to show the loyalty of the Garibaldi people, Garry The Bordeaux peninsula is willing to pay higher taxes—" Villard went on and on, only the last sentence was useful.

Simply put, money buys freedom.

This condition is also good.

The Ottoman Republic can get more taxes from the Garibaldi Peninsula, so it can build a stronger army, so when the Garibaldi Peninsula makes more excessive demands, the Ottoman Republic can choose to suppress it by force.

Of course, this is only the most perfect situation. What is more likely to happen is that the tax revenue obtained by the Ottoman Republic from the Garibaldi Peninsula will disappear without knowing it, and it is not clear why.

"Lord, I need your promise—" Anatolia ignored Willard, Arthur was the key.

"As long as I can do it!" Arthur's words sounded impassioned, but in fact they hit the edge of the ball again.

It would be nice if it could be done.

What if I can't do it?
It can't be difficult for others.

"What I'm worried about is the chain reaction. Who doesn't want to have more rights—" Anatolia didn't dare to directly reject Arthur's request, and it's okay to raise conditions.

The meaning is also obvious.

The autonomy of the Garibaldi Peninsula is acceptable, but this is only one example. If other regions in the Ottoman Republic follow suit, then Arthur must give the Ottoman Republic enough help.

To put it bluntly, it is to send troops to suppress.

It's pitiful to say the least.

The dignified president of the Ottoman Republic in Anatolia doesn't even have a single soldier he can trust, because the army of the Ottoman Republic was formed by Arthur himself.

So say no!
How to refuse?

If Anatolia dared to refuse Arthur's request, something would happen to Constantinople before Anatolia returned to Constantinople, and Anatolia would most likely end up miserable.

"Don't worry about this problem. If someone dares to make a similar request, the Garibaldi will become Mr. President's most loyal soldiers without the help of the Lord." Willard is righteous and loyal, and he is not bragging. He wants to pull one The army is a matter of minutes.

Most of the people living in the Garibaldi Peninsula are Southern Africans. They received a Southern African-style education. They are no strangers to the military. They grew up from the Boy Scouts when they were young.

So despite the fact that Willard doesn't have any soldiers, there are only some policemen. If Willard needs to change clothes, he will be a soldier.

"Villard, shut up, you are the person I distrust the most right now!" Anatolia had a low profile to Arthur, but she would not be so polite to Willard.

We both work for Lord Cyprus, and neither is better than the other.

As for the most loyal soldier, in the current Ottoman Republic, Willard is the biggest traitor.

"No problem. If there are similar requests from other regions, I will help you solve this problem." Arthur also had a backdoor in his words.

Anatolia is not a president for life, but has a term of office.

When Anatolia was in office, if anyone dared to follow suit, Arthur would definitely keep his promise.

Anatolia will always step down.

"Okay, you succeeded——" Anatolia looked at Willard's triumphant face, feeling a little itchy in his hand, wishing to punch Willard in the face.

This is just thinking about it, how can you do it in front of the honorable Lord Cyprus, it is unseemly.

Joseph was unhappy, on the contrary, he was very angry.

It may be that Hungary is too tempting for Beard. After learning of Arthur's suggestion, Beard immediately sent instructions, hoping that Joseph would agree to Arthur's request and allocate more power to the London Government-in-Exile.

This request caught Joseph off guard.

What about full support?

What about the community of interests?
What about brotherhood?

The conditions offered by Arthur were not irresistible, not even good, but the bearded man was so impatient that he didn't even want to pay back the price. Could it be that the interests of the Yugoslavs were so cheap in the bearded man's heart?

Once the seed of doubt is planted, sooner or later it will grow into a towering tree.
