Chapter 53 points to a clear path

Seeing Mihailovich’s cold face, Alan Wilson talked again as if he was not thinking, “Mr. Mihailovich, in fact, at the same time I was meeting with you, our diplomats were also meeting with Tito’s people.”

“That’s very much in keeping with the British Empire’s style isn’t it? You were the ones who allowed Tito to take the place of the Fatherland Army’s legal rights in Yugoslavia a few years ago.” Mikhailovich couldn’t help but stand up after hearing this, but then promptly sat down again in a whirlwind of indignation, “What about now, Tito is the Soviet Union’s man, and they’re just like the Soviet Union, will there be a place for the British Empire in the future of Eastern Europe?”

Like everyone else in this era, Mikhailovich considered Tito to be a subordinate power of the Soviet Union. Back in 1945, this was a general consensus. At this time Tito and Stalin had not yet flipped.

Regarding the situation in Yugoslavia, Alan Wilson had his own realization that in fact, if the Soviet Union was safe and sound, sooner or later Yugoslavia would look at a camp position and take a position of leaning toward the Soviet Union. Only that time might come after Tito’s death, and of course Maputo wanted to commit suicide, which was nobody’s fault.

“Uh, Mr. Mikhailovich, please be quiet.” Alan Wilson took out a cigarette and handed it to the other party, and was not surprised when he was refused, “Tito had Tito’s problems, and you have your problems, don’t you? Today’s Yugoslavia appeared all kinds of problems, also have you caused the impression. In fact, I am very puzzled, a community that only accounts for 40% of Yugoslavia, to promote what big Serbianism, of course, this Croatia is not much stronger, and now you and the hostile Croats, are here to be chased by Tito, this is also the British Empire’s fault?”

The Yugoslav Fatherland Army was dominated by the Serbs and pursued Greater Serbianism. Alan Wilson didn’t know that this had anything to do with the fact that after the war Tito had to push for communal rule by all ethnic groups, but apparently the existence of the Fatherland Army was sort of a political correctness for Tito.

Still, it was fellow Croats that Tito liquidated the hardest, and to say that Tito deliberately did anything to the Serbs for the sake of his own people would be an understatement.

“I have no intention of talking to you here about who exactly should carry the moral guilt, that’s not my purpose.” Allen Wilson took his words back, he had stepped in only in passing, he could do it or not, but unlike Mihajlovic, this was the other man’s chance to live.

Mihailovich also came back to his senses, realizing that the meeting between the two was not a reciprocal negotiation, the British Empire would lose nothing if they, the men, were finished, and might even be able to make good relations with Tito as a result.

In turn Mikhailovich and now the fugitives, will be driven to extinction by Tito. A month earlier, Tito had publicly announced on Radio Belgrade that he was calling on the pro-Axis powers in his country to surrender without delay or be treated mercilessly.

How would he be treated back in Yugoslavia? Mihajlovic can guess without thinking ……

“Traitor to the state? Enemy of the people?” Just when Mihajlovic’s heart is in turmoil, Alan Wilson said in a chilling tone, “How many people on the border can survive now? Ten percent? Maybe five percent, but for Mr. Mihailovich, and the other leaders of the organization it is equal to zero.”

Mikhailovich’s face changed for a moment, and all of a sudden his heart sank to the bottom, knowing that all hope lay in the young diplomat in front of him, he opened his mouth and said, “Mr. Allen must be working on this matter if he can come out to meet with me.”

“Well!” Allen Wilson’s hands rhythmically tapping on the table, Mihajlovic returned the wrong meaning and hurriedly opened his mouth, “We also have some accumulation, in fact, this kind of thing that involves so many lives, may add a great burden to the British Empire, the belongings that we have accumulated from the several years of wars, used in exchange for the safety of life, everyone will not object. ”

The ringing stopped, Alan Wilson said in his heart, he did not mean this at all, just thinking about how to let Mihailovich run to the American-occupied areas, but since the other party back to the wrong meaning, he also borrowed the slope, pretending to be a pretext, “It is good that you can understand this, but this matter must be kept secret, you have to know that in the point of view of London is also very difficult. ”

“I do understand that Tito is not a good character to deal with.” Mikhailovich, as the leader of the rival camp to Tito, knew the opponent’s power well.

“Who said anything about Tito? I’m not talking about Tito.” Alan Wilson snorted and sneered, “I’m talking about the Soviets, today the Soviet Union ceases to exist, and the next day you can see the Allied Forces formed and killed in Yugoslavia.”

Just look at the front foot of the collapse of the Soviet Union, the back foot of Yugoslavia broke out in civil war, Germany first armed Slovenia armed still do not understand?

Mihajlovic staggered to hear Alan Wilson corrected and hurriedly apologized that it was his perspective that was too narrow.

Mihajlovic angle to not narrow, would not come to the British surrender. But this is not important, this meeting even save the interpreter, only the two of them, Allen Wilson repeated after emphasizing, “We will not accept the surrender of you and the more than 100,000 people on the surface, not only the British, in the official level of the U.S. and France will also pretend to be deaf and dumb.”

“But if there is an unstoppable resistance, we are after all a democracy and will not shoot unarmed men.” Alan Wilson revealed seemingly unintentionally, “Let’s just say that the British army in Austria only has two battalions right now, and the defense of such a large borderline is also out of reach.”

“Mr. Allen, thank you so much.” Mihailovich was overjoyed to hear this, Allen Wilson had already divulged the Austrian British army’s falsehoods, this was already more than an unintelligible hint.

“Mr. Mikhailovich, I didn’t say anything, please be at ease.” Alan Wilson waved his hand and said, “In fact, there is no solution on the official level, and out of respect for life, so we can only think of a solution in secret. The less people know about this matter, the better, on the surface we still need to do a show, this is all just the beginning, we have to be careful and complete every step, any small negligence could be met with disastrous consequences. If it fails, Mr. Mikhailovich you naturally return to Yugoslavia to await being shot, and I may become the scapegoat.”

“To the north of the British-occupied zone is the American-occupied zone, and I will provide you with a map of the junction road between the American-occupied zone and the French-occupied zone when the time comes.” Alan Wilson crossed his fingers and said, “This is the most crucial step, Mr. Mihailovich, you should bring the Bavarian administrator, General Patton, to a meeting as soon as possible.”
