From to 1935 2020

Although this military government is a dictatorship, it is firmly opposed to the Soviet Union and the Axis powers, and is supported by Britain and the United States.During World War II, Ioannis Metaxas died of illness, which made the military government unsustainable.

In the eyes of the Greeks, George II was only an honorary king and had not made any contribution to Greece.

He left Greece as early as 1923 due to political struggles and lived abroad until 1935, when he returned.

After George II came back, he was only a leader in name and had no actual power.

During the resistance to the Nazi occupation, Greece saw many resistance forces.The most powerful is the Greek People's Liberation Army formed by the Greek Communist Party, with about 5 people.

The mountainous terrain of Greece is an excellent place for guerrilla warfare.Until 1943, the German army and the Greek puppet government only controlled the country's large towns and highways, and the mountainous areas were basically controlled by guerrillas.

In late 1944, Nazi Germany retreated steadily and was unable to occupy Greece, so they all evacuated the country in October.

As a result, the British army quickly entered Greece, and George II's government-in-exile also entered.

The Greek People's Liberation Army is strong and already controls most of the country.And George II's government-in-exile has little strength.

If the People's Liberation Army takes over the country by force and forms a government on its own, the British army may not exchange fire with them.

As a subordinate political party of the Soviet Union, the Greek Communist Party cannot violate the order "not to be an enemy of Britain casually, causing the allies to split".

In fact, according to the agreement between Stalin and the allies, Eastern Europe is the future territory of the Soviet Union, and Greece is still under the control of the United Kingdom and the United States.

Therefore, in December 1944, the British army asked the Greek People's Liberation Army to lay down its arms and disband on its own.

Of course, the Greek People's Liberation Army would not agree, and the people who supported him began to march around, and then there were armed conflicts with the Greek government forces and the British army.

British troops surrounded more than 1 Communist Party sympathizers, accused them of premeditating an armed rebellion, and exiled half of them to the Middle East.

The Greek Communist Party is not to be trifled with either.They took thousands of bourgeois hostages in Athens and Thessaloniki and forced them to march through the snow and ice into the mountains.

Hundreds of these "reactionaries" were executed and buried in mass graves.

World War II was not over yet. Britain was afraid of the huge impact of internal strife among its allies, so it hurriedly stepped forward to mediate, and the Soviet Union also intervened diplomatically.

In 1945, the Greek People's Liberation Army and the government army reached the "Varkiza Agreement". After the PLA handed over its weapons, it disbanded, and then the Greek Communist Party participated in the general election.

Only part of the Greek People's Liberation Army was disbanded, and the main force remained.

At this time, the prestige of the PLA is actually very high.During the German occupation, the Liberation Army played an important role and was the spiritual support of the Greek people: in times of famine, they organized land reforms and even distributed food.They re-established the popular "people's courts" in villages rather than provincial towns and where local juries were heard instead of costly lawyers and judges.They founded thousands of rural cultural groups throughout Greece, created dozens of touring groups, and published newspapers that were read throughout the country.

They opened countless schools and kindergartens, providing education to people who had never had the opportunity to receive education before.They encouraged the formation of youth groups while encouraging women's emancipation.They built bridges and paved roads, creating an unprecedented transportation network.These achievements are particularly notable in the remote mountainous regions of Greece.

According to Chris Woodhouse, a British secret agent stationed in Greece during the war: "The National Liberation Front and the Greek People's Liberation Army created an achievement that the Greek government ignored: the organized state of the Greek mountains." It was national liberation. Thanks to the efforts of the Front, "the benefits of civilization and culture were introduced to the mountains for the first time".

If there is a general election at this time, there is no doubt that the KKE will win.

Subsequently, the Greek Communist Party has many tricks.

When they retreated from Athens and other places, they executed more than 8000 people, some of whom were indeed cooperating with the Axis powers, and more were political enemies of the Communist Party.

Many village heads, village doctors, merchants, and other gentry were killed because they opposed the Communist Party's policies.

The move aroused dissatisfaction from all walks of life in Greek society.

At the same time, they also forcibly took away 2 hostages, which led to a rapid decline in public support.

As a result, by the time of the 1946 general election, nearly 7% of the Greek people supported King George II's restoration of power.

In fact, the government was also rampantly attacking the KKE at this time: according to official statistics, right-wing militants murdered 1192 people and wounded 6413, although the real number is undoubtedly much higher.In some areas, notably in northern Greece and the Peloponnese, police began extensive manhunts for anyone suspected of ties to the KKE. In September 1945, according to official figures, the ratio of imprisoned leftists to imprisoned collaborators was roughly more than seven to one.The proportion of executions was even more disparate.

The people have left a bad idea of ​​the Greek Communist Party, and the above-mentioned atrocities cannot be reversed.

The Greek Communist Party, knowing that it was impossible to win, refused to participate.

This led to the victory of the Royalist United Patriotic Party (IPE), allowing George II to form a government.

At this time, Yugoslavia decided to support the Greek Communist Party.Tito tried to make Yugoslavia a regional power and to use the Greek civil war to enhance his international status.

Thus, with the support of Yugoslavia, the Greek Communist Party quickly rebuilt the Greek Democratic Army and began to seize power by force.

The civil war broke out in full force in 1946.

At the beginning of the war, the Greek Democratic Army with rich experience in World War II defeated the Greek government forces effortlessly and quickly controlled most of the country's territory.

The Greek government army couldn't stand it, so they could only ask Britain for help.With British support, the Greek government army expanded to 13.However, at this time, Britain fell into the post-war economic trough, unable to take care of itself, and the British army withdrew from Greece.

If this continues, by early 1947 the KKE will control the whole of Greece.

At this time, the United States believed that "the Communist Party cannot be allowed to expand in Europe", announced its intervention in the civil war, and provided a large amount of military assistance.

With the support of the United States, the Greek government forces gradually recovered their disadvantages.

The two sides fought until 1948, when the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia broke completely.Now the Greek Democratic Army is in an embarrassing situation, they must choose a backstage.

The Soviet Union did not provide any help to the Greek Democratic Army. After all, the Soviet Union was far stronger than Yugoslavia.At this time, Yugoslavia was still seeking international assistance.

As a result, the pro-Soviet faction of the Greek Communist Party took advantage, announced to keep a distance from Yugoslavia, and carried out a major purge of the pro-Southern faction in the party.

This move caused chaos within the Greek Communist Party, and Yugoslavia angrily announced the closure of the border between the two countries and cut off all material assistance.

At this time, the Greek Democratic Army still had a military advantage, and the protracted war nearly collapsed the government army.

At the critical moment when Yugoslavia announced the suspension of aid and the Soviet Union was unwilling to provide aid, the Greek Communist Party made a huge mistake, and they put all their eggs in one basket for a decisive battle.

The Greek Democratic Army began to attack the big cities in an all-round way, and was continuously defeated by the government troops who were waiting for work, losing more than half of their troops.

Under the guidance of American advisers, the Greek government forces launched a strategic offensive starting in January 1949.

By the end of the year, the Greek Democratic Army was depleted and the liberated areas were occupied.

The main force of the Greek Democratic Army retreated into Albania, and some remained in the country to fight guerrillas.

Albania is unwilling to be an enemy of Greece, and announced that it can only accommodate the Greek Democratic Army, but cannot support their counterattack.

In desperation, in October 1949, the Greek Communist Party finally published a "Message to the People" on the radio in Albania, acknowledging the failure of the civil war and declaring a ceasefire.

The scale of the civil war this time is still very large, causing serious domestic damage in Greece, and the economy is much worse than in 1945 when World War II ended.

The civil war caused a total of 15.8 deaths and 80 refugees.

Due to the civil war, the Greek people supported the left wing and the right wing respectively, and the people also split.

In the ensuing decades, the political situation in Greece was turbulent, and the right-wing parties collapsed because they could not deal with the left-wing parties, and the far-right parties took power.The radical right-wing parties were responsible for the 1963 assassination of left-wing politician Gregorios Lambrakis and the 1967 military coup.

It is ridiculous that George Papadopoulos, the leader of the extreme right-wing party, was a traitor who cooperated with the Nazis during World War II and established a fascist organization.

He formed a military government after a coup and ruled Greece from 1967 to 1974.

Such counter-trend coups were extremely rare among European democracies at the time.The KKE, which did not regain legal status until the fall of the military junta in 1974, is also now quite powerful in the country.

In fact, it's just one sentence: anything can be wrong, don't follow the wrong big brother!

Chapter 307

The Communist International Conference held in Moscow in 1939, a few days ago, was discussing the topic of how to use the good opportunity of fascism to launch a world war and how to set off a climax of world revolution.From the fifth day onwards, the protagonist was replaced by Li Runshi.

Standing in front of the stage, he began to describe various things that happened in the 1921 years from 1939 to 18, from the establishment of the CCP to its seizure of power, from the representatives of the Communist Party of the world.

The successful experience has said a lot, but more, it is the lesson of failure.

In fact, from the fifth day onwards, Li Yunshi stood on the stage of the Communist International Congress and summed up the April [-]th Incident to communists all over the world. .

At that time, Li Yunshi looked at the representatives or leaders of the Communist Party from Greece, Poland, France and other European capitalist countries and said: "In the next few years, with the outbreak of the world war in Europe, countries will once again encounter the invasion of fascist Germany. After the victory of World War II, armaments have been relaxed for 20 years. Germany is the opposite. What is more deadly is that so far, these two countries are still clinging to the outdated victory experience of the last World War, and they are even more delusional. , to lure Nazi Germany into a war with the Soviet Union..."

"The reason for the British appeasement is because they know that the current empire on which the sun never sets is an empty shell. If there is another European war, this paper tiger will be exposed. But France is in chaos at home, with left and right taking turns in power, and the people's war weariness is even more serious. Seriously, it is impossible to fight to the end like the last World War and German fascism."

"Both Comrade Stalin and I foresee that once the Great War breaks out, Britain and France will be defeated in a very short period of time, the British will withdraw from the European continent, and France will surrender early like the Franco-Prussian War. It swept across the entire European continent in a short period of time, and in the end, except for the Soviets, only a few countries in the corner could avoid this disaster (two teeth in history).”

When Li Runshi was speaking, the translator for him was Wu Xiuquan, and Huang Ke was responsible for translating his words into Russian on the spot.

After a little bit of history spoiler, Lee Run-shik began to "predict" the development opportunities, difficulties, and possible traps that the anti-fascist forces led by the Communist Parties of various countries will get during the future German War.

Opportunities for development and difficulties faced are nothing more than copying history. What he really focused on was "the biggest trap and crisis".

"Fascism is unpopular, and Hitler's dream of the Third Reich will eventually fail. What I want to tell and remind everyone here is that on the day Hitler is completely defeated, the countries present here, especially Western or Southern Europe, especially France, Greece, Albania, you comrades who are far away from the Soviet Union, your greatest crisis and danger have just begun."

"I believe that comrades in various countries pursuing communism in the future, in the process of resisting the fascist war, your own revolutionary team will continue to grow and grow in this process. But what crisis will you encounter?"

"Contradiction is changing. After Hitler is eliminated, the capitalist forces headed by the United States will turn their faces in the first place, and even support the remaining Nazi forces in the country, unite the entire capitalist world, and do their best to wipe out all countries in the war. The communist regime that developed in

Stalin intervened here: "I would like to remind everyone that Hitler has easily restored Germany to its strength within less than five years since he came to power. Support. Four months ago, before the Munich agreement, Roosevelt pretended to ask Germany to stop encroaching on Czech interests, but he was just talking. During these months, a large amount of US military technology was still transferred to Hitler. Hitler couldn't afford those technologies, so he asked American banks to lend him money to buy them!"

Stalin once again reminded the leaders of the Communist Party of the world: "Roosevelt, a cunning warmonger, has far greater ambitions than Wilson. He wants to repeat what he did in the last European war. He will not only prompt Britain and France to China's early defeat in the war will encourage Germany to attack the Soviets in the future and launch a more tragic war."

Stalin and Lee Yun-seok cooperated and continued to spoil the future history.However, representatives of the Communist Party of various countries had already read these things in advance, and Stalin only mentioned it a little bit more, and then gave Li Runshi the right to speak.

"What Comrade Li Runshi is going to say next is the big trap and the easiest mistake to make. In fact, it was the bloody lesson that happened to the CCP 11 years ago. The April [-] counter-revolutionary incident, and in this In this matter, I, Stalin, also made great mistakes."

Standing in front of the stage, Stalin took the initiative to "admit his mistakes". As soon as he said these words, there was an uproar in a low voice.

"No one is immune to mistakes. The important thing is to learn from your mistakes."

"What China's Comrade Li Runshi is going to say next is exactly what happened to this mistake. Please listen to it, remember it, and don't repeat this mistake in the future."

Stalin and Li Runshi looked at each other in front of the stage, and then Li Runshi continued to speak.

Li Runshi told on stage that before April [-]th, when the Kuomintang and the Communist Party started to cooperate, the Chinese revolution was booming and prosperous, and then the situation in Shanghai suddenly changed, and it fell from the peak to the bottom in an instant. What happened in the middle thing.

The success of the Chinese revolution, what happened in the past 18 years, and what happened before and after April [-]th, in fact, the leaders or representatives of the Communist Party of various countries here are more or less aware of it.But like today, it was the first time that Li Runshi, the greatest hero who led the victory of the Chinese revolution, stood in front of the stage and systematically summarized the causes and consequences of that great setback.What everyone didn't expect was that Stalin would stand up and admit that he also made mistakes at that time.

"Before April [-], we joined forces with the KMT organization to fight against the more reactionary Beiyang warlords in China. During this process, the power of our two parties flourished. Moreover, under the influence of the Communist Party, in the KMT regime at that time, the entire More than half of the members of the party organization can be called revolutionaries or close to revolutionaries. On the surface, the power of revolution has far overwhelmed the so-called rightists in the party, similar to the Menshevik forces before the October Revolution.”

Then Stalin interjected: "At that time, the Kuomintang seemed to be quite pursuing revolution, and it was also transformed into a red revolutionary party. At that time, it had developed into a party with millions of members, and more than half of the Members can be called a political group of progressive youth—the purity and progressiveness of the members of this organization at that time even looked more revolutionary and advanced than the Bolsheviks during the October Revolution.”

Li Runshi interjected: "When Shanghai was conquered, the situation of the Chinese revolution was good on the surface, but in fact it was full of crises. Behind the good prospects, it was actually a huge crisis similar to that before the October Revolution...The comrades in the Soviet Union met During this crisis, Comrade Lenin saw the danger behind him in advance. He took the counter-revolutionary forces first and kept the basic foundation of the progressive forces in his hands. Then he won the victory of the revolution four years later. On the contrary, we We were late..."

Li Runshi and Stalintai took turns to speak and speak out from their own experiences. In fact, there were two purposes. One was to warn the representatives of the European Communist Party, headed by France and Greece, who were "hard to reach" at the scene. Strong, don't give the reactionary forces any chance to come back and take root - that's how the KKE failed.If he had not given the old regime a chance to go home after their defeat in Germany, had established a regime directly, and had used the strongest attitude to expel the British army, which had only tens of thousands of people in its territory at that time, there would have been no such incidents.

Li Runshi said by himself, summing up the experience of the failure of the revolution, telling the leaders of the Communist Party of the world that in the process of the anti-fascist war, the communist forces in various countries will develop unprecedentedly, but after the war, people's minds are peaceful, and there will inevitably be breeds in the ranks to negotiate with the former reactionary forces. , Then parliamentary struggle, the "fantasy" of ruling the world together.

This, they told them, was the most stupid, suicidal act, a remnant of the Social Democratic Second International.

And Stalin admitted in public that he also made a mistake, but after he knew the history, he knew this mistake and pretended to be stupid and refused to admit it, and he would not be able to escape in the future.Simply voluntarily admitting here and then "proactively explaining" will save you a lot of trouble in the future, and you can gain the halo of "the great leader who actively admits mistakes"-after all, the victory of the Chinese revolution in this plane is different from that in history. These flaws are not enough to cover up his "great vision" and achievements of "selling liver to aid China".

After the meeting that day, Stalin felt relaxed, because after he voluntarily admitted this black spot on his body, the comrades expressed their understanding, and it will no longer be a big problem in the future.

Some special figures also came to the Congress of the Communist International in various countries in the world, especially the representatives of the Communist Parties in various Asian countries.

For example, India, such as Kim Sun who represents North Korea, Ho Chi Minh in Vietnam, and that area in Southeast Asia.

At this time, Jin Taiyang was originally affiliated to the Anti-Japanese Alliance. After the defeat of Japan last year, the Chinese and Soviet troops forcibly enclosed a piece of land in the northeast corner of North Korea. The three countries have reached a tacit agreement, and Japan agreed to give up here in exchange for a truce between the two sides. (In fact, the Japanese are unable to take it back)

Stalin and Li Runshi knew exactly who Jin Taiyang was through the time traveler: this person is a speculator pretending to be a communist. He should be a nationalist, but he is definitely not a communist.In private, Stalin took the initiative to say to Li Runshi: "This person is not a real communist, and he must be replaced in the future.

Although Li Runshi knew the history and knew that he later purged almost all his comrades-in-arms for the sake of his own family, and that later generations even made Marxism-Leninism thoughts illegal, and he was disgusted with this person in his heart.But before Kim Taeyang specifically "anti-XX", Lee Yoon-seok was against being innocent.

But in any case, the two secretly reached a consensus on this matter: a real communist fighter must be chosen as the leader in North Korea.
