"On the surface, it's manageable. We have mobilized all the staff here, persuaded the Yugoslavs, concentrated all the armed men to defend the borders. Carinthia diplomat George replied busily, following Alan Wilson, who had just gotten out of the car.

"On the surface? Concentrated all the armed men? Yes! Alan Wilson's body paused slightly, and his mouth was facing the northwest direction, as if he wanted Northwest to calm down his somewhat chaotic brain, and after a while, he said, "Let's explain the actual situation directly." ”

Using this modifying wording, it can basically be concluded that the situation is more serious than it seems. As for concentrating all the armed men to guard the border? It depends on how many British troops there are in the British-occupied zone. According to Alan Wilson's knowledge, as well as the actual situation in Austria, the British army in the British-occupied zone of Austria currently has only two battalions.

Otherwise, how could he say that the occupation forces of the three countries together would be the same in front of the Soviet occupation forces in Austria.

"Because the southern part of Carinthia itself is inhabited by some Slovenes, the Austrian government has been paralyzed, we don't know how many Slovenians there are, there may be a lot of refugees from Yugoslavia, hidden in the local we don't know, now Austria is under occupation, we can't organize the army of the former Austrian government to do things, fortunately, there is no sign of a large number of refugees crossing the border." George explained the situation, looking at Alan Wilson cautiously.

I heard that there were successive occupations and specializations, not to mention Alan Wilson's unexpected age, but he was the current British liaison officer in Europe, and if he wanted to, he could have said in the report that George's work on refugee issues was a mess.

But apparently Alan Wilson is in a good mood, there is no large number of refugees crossing the border now, it does not mean that there will be no future, and he praised without hesitation, "In the face of so many refugees, the work of the Carinthia State Special Operations Service is satisfactory, it seems that the situation has been stabilized, we will 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 Klagenfurt, which is a big city in southern Austria, but the big city of Europe and the big city of the East are not the same concept, and there are actually only tens of thousands of inhabitants here.

It is a standard border city thirty kilometers from the border with Yugoslavia and sixty kilometers from Italy.

With a map of Carinthia Oblast, it was not so much about Yugoslavia or Italy as to plan whether the 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, but the British occupation zone of Austria is bordered by the American occupation zone to the north, and the American occupation zone of Austria is connected to the American occupation zone of Germany. However, for the sake of the success rate, it is better not to take a road, western Austria is a French-occupied area, and from there the success rate is the greatest, but the road may be farther.

After making up for the geography, Alan Wilson reappeared at dinner time and said to the local British diplomats, "We must talk to these Yugoslav leaders, not only with these people from the Fatherland Army, but also with Tito's people, and it is better to eliminate the hostility between everyone, I don't think this is a problem, after all, we have been in contact before." ”

Britain and Tito had a good relationship, Britain had previously supported Tito to replace the Yugoslav Fatherland Army as the force representing Yugoslavia, and few people knew that the liaison officer who was by Tito's side was called Randolph Churchill, the son of Churchill, the prime minister of the British Empire.

Alan Wilson, who inherited the British Empire's tradition of stepping on two boats, was not prepared to talk only to these opponents of Tito, if these opponents of Tito could not cooperate with the future he had planned. Nor could he rule out the possibility of selling the Yugoslav Fatherland Army one more time.

Alan Wilson consulted with George and asked George to liaise with Tito, while he prepared to meet with the leaders of the Yugoslav Fatherland Army and the various organizations involved in it.

The head of the Yugoslav Fatherland Army, Dracha Mikhailovich, served as the deputy chief of staff of the Second Army when the German invasion was disbanded, and after the collapse of the headquarters, the Yugoslav Fatherland Army was formed in the Ravnagora Mountains, and Mikhailovichk carried out the anti-German struggle. Supported by England and King Peter II in London.

Of course, later Britain turned to support Tito, and the evolution of this was more complicated, and now that Germany had been defeated and Tito forced Mikhailovich, who had been cornered, thought of the British Empire, and led the remnants of the Yugoslav Fatherland Army, as well as other opponents of Tito, to the Austrian border, hoping for a way out.

Upon learning that the new liaison officer was going to meet him in secret, a glimmer of hope rose in Mikhailovich's heart. With his current situation, even if the third world war breaks out, it is a good thing.

Mikhailovich came, crossed the border and came to the meeting site prepared by Alan Wilson, which was an ordinary small room, not only did not have any grandeur, but could even be said to be a little rudimentary.

Alan Wilson did not even prepare a translator, he heard that Mikhailovich knew some English. The door was pushed open, and Mikhailovich, who was also alone, entered, looking at each other in surprise.

Mikhailovich was shocked by Alan Wilson's age, but was immediately relieved that Randolph Churchill, the liaison officer at his side, was not yet thirty years old.

Alan Wilson was very surprised by Mikhailovich's outfit, the other party's outfit was completely a Revitory Cossack veteran, with a beard on his face, more like.

"Mr. Mikhailovich, you may be seated." Alan Wilson stood up and gestured, "I came to you today to talk about the future of the hundreds of thousands of people in the current border area, please forgive me for the poor conditions here." For some reason, we can only meet under such conditions. ”

Mikhailovich pulled out a chair and sat down in half-baked English and said, "When is the liaison officer of the British Empire already going to talk to someone on such an occasion, but one thing I agree with is that the lives of more than a hundred thousand people are involved." In fact, my purpose is to save the lives of these subordinates, so I came here to surrender to the British Empire, and we abandoned people just want to live. ”

"Yes, that's our common purpose." Alan Wilson lowered his voice and said, "But this matter is still difficult, and it requires our joint efforts, Mr. Mihailovich, I believe you also have some understanding of the current situation, almost the entire territory of Yugoslavia has been controlled by Tito, and this situation makes London very difficult." ”
