In fact, at the beginning of letting me enter Serbia, I refused, because I can't say that if you let me in, I will enter immediately, the first time I want to investigate, because I don't want to enter and add some false propaganda in the future, just like Yugoslavia [DUANG] has become stable at once, so everyone will definitely feel very fake, there is no such country at all.

Later I also confirmed that they were serious, and we investigated it for about a month, and it felt pretty good, so when we actually got there, Goebbels didn't bother to do any propaganda at all, and our soldiers did take a lot of pictures. Feng. Interview with Stadler.

In fact, things are as simple as Xu Jun said, but one thing is true, he was very, very resistant to interfering in Yugoslav affairs at first.

Yugoslavia was the worst, most chaotic and disgusting theater in the entire course of World War II in the original time and space, so much so that later generations of World War II war histories and even campaign atlases invariably excluded him from the European theater.

In addition to the fact that the roles played by the local forces in World War II were not all glamorous, but also because for most of the war, the Yugoslav ethnic groups did not defend themselves against German aggression, but fought each other in a civil war with enthusiasm.

Yugoslavia's history of World War II is full of conspiracy, betrayal, betrayal, enslavement and oppression, and the ubiquitous bloody massacres, and there is no more chaotic country in the Balkans.

This is a big dung pit, Xu Jun once bluntly said to the generals of the headquarters that he would rather transfer all his troops to the Arctic Circle, and would not let his soldiers get close to this evil land.

How scummy this country is, perhaps most Chinese will not know, because they belonged to the same camp back then, and of course they were embarrassed to expose the hole cards of this friendly ally.

Hitler hated Yugoslavia in the extreme, because he also belonged to a "shameless Versailles state". The Treaty of Versailles ceded part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire to Serbia, and on the basis of these new territories, the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes was established.

But if you think that if you put the names together, all the peoples will live in harmony, then you are naïve.

The nascent kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (the Yugoslavs at that time must have had a psychological breakdown when filling in the nationality column) was buried in the early days of civil strife, and the problem was still with the Serbs, who at that time dominated the political scene with an illiteracy rate of 80 percent, and most of the top positions in the army, police, and legal system were in the hands of Serbs.

Serbian nationalists also divided the various ethnic groups within the country into three classes, with Serbs who originally inhabited Serbian soil being of the first class, Macedonians and Montenegrins being considered second-class Serbs because of their language and kinship, and Croats and Bosnians being considered third-class and "Serbs awaiting assimilation".

The Albanians, Austrians, Hungarian Magyars, and Romanians who lived in this territory at the same time were suppressed and persecuted to varying degrees because they could not be assimilated, and many were forced to flee the country, although all their property was confiscated by the government, but their lives were saved.

In such a bad social environment, how could antagonistic feelings between ethnic groups not arise?

The political naivety of the Serbian bureaucracy, which promoted nationalist activities in the country, which eventually led to the First World War, did not allow these short-sighted national fanatics to be saved.

Throughout the twenties, Serbian politicians spared no effort to stir up nationalist sentiments, and at this time the idea in their minds was even more arrogant, and they sought to create a Greater Serbia the size of a quarter of Europe, claiming that all places inhabited by Serbs should be included in this country. This plan, which sounded like a fantasy, actually gained a considerable market among Serbs.

Historically, the relationship between Germany and this country has been quite complicated, but in recent times the relationship between the two countries has been quite harmonious. As early as the Weimar Republic, Germany signed a series of trade contracts with the Kingdom of Yugoslavia.

At that time, the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes had been renamed the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, ostensibly because the then King Alexander I was concerned about the ethnic antagonism in the country, and in order to avoid ethnic division, he issued the latest decree, deliberately removing the names of all ethnic groups from the national population, in order to show that all ethnic groups were treated equally. In fact, the government is still old bottles of new wine, and the old shirt is still under the gorgeous coat, and in this royal reform, except for the centralization of royal power, other issues have not been changed positively.

Yugoslavia had been hit hard by the world financial crisis, and they had finally tasted the bitter wine they had brewed, because they had offended all the countries and nations around them in the past ten years.

In the end, it was Alexander I who personally persuaded the countries to recover some of the influence, and Yugoslavia was finally able to escape a catastrophe.

It was during this period that the Nazi government established close ties with Yugoslavia, and Germany won the unanimous favor of the other side with a trade program designed specifically for Yugoslavia, and in the days that followed, transactions with Germany accounted for half of Yugoslavia's total imports and exports.

But when they were relieved, the Serbs began to revolt again, nationalism rose again, and the elite in the government, in accordance with tradition, once again fell into the arms of Britain and France.

The Serbs thought they had good reasons for choosing this way, not only because of the support and impetus of Britain and France behind the establishment of the country, but also because of the alliance between Germany and Italy, which made them lack enough trust in the steel alliance.

Italy's Mussolini had always been a Croatian regionalist, and in his opinion the land was inherently meant to be ruled by the Romans.

The Italian government had been secretly supporting Croatian nationalists for many years, and had tried to incite the Croats to stand up against Serb rule, with the ultimate goal of separating Croatia from Yugoslavia so that Italy would have a reason to intervene and annex the territory.

Yugoslavia regarded Italy as the most insidious enemy, but there was nothing to do with that big chin, and the situation in Yugoslavia was on the verge of being very dangerous, and if it was not improved, civil strife would break out sooner or later.

Because of the long-term oppression of the Serbs, Croatian ultra-nationalism has spread rapidly among the Croats, and at this moment it has accumulated a considerable strength, while the Serbian government is in a state of weakness due to perennial internal attrition, and they can no longer suppress the demands of the other side by administrative means.

It is even more unrealistic to use force to suppress, it is not that the Serbs dare not fight a civil war, you must know that if this group of people goes crazy, they will even cut their own people, just because although most of the officer class are Serbs, more than half of the soldiers who are regarded as cannon fodder below are Croats, which is equivalent to cutting off the opponent's spear with the opponent's sword, which is obviously an unreliable plan.

Yugoslavia once wanted to get political help from Britain and France, but some previous cases of ethnic persecution had already reached the international community, and the Serbs' ethnic policy had become notorious, so how could Britain and France give them public support on this sensitive issue.

When Germany annexed the Czech Republic, Yugoslavia was completely dumbfounded.

Alexander I had already died five years earlier in a botched assassination attempt, while he was on a state visit to France, and was accompanied by the French Foreign Minister. It is believed that the Italians were the ones behind the whole thing, recruited from a Bulgarian national extremist group whose political demands were to support Macedonia's independence, and the chaos and vile nature of Yugoslavia's internal problems at that time was evident.

The current monarch of Yugoslavia is Peter II, who was only eleven years old when he succeeded to the throne, and it was impossible for him to shoulder the affairs of the state, so he was given full regent by Prince Paul, the younger brother of Alexander I, and waited until Peter turned eighteen in September 41 before abdicating and returning to the country.

Germany had by this time merged with Austria and officially bordered Yugoslavia on the territory, and Hitler made no secret of his intention to meddle in the internal affairs of Yugoslavia. This was clearly influenced by the big chin, and Hitler also had a keen interest in agitating the Croats for independence, and he thought that if the Anglo-French nail into the Balkans was dismembered, the security of Germany's flank in Europe could be guaranteed.

Prince Paul was deeply disturbed by Hitler's performance, and when he saw that the situation was not good, Prince Reservation hurriedly put down his position and began to negotiate with the Croatian forces in the country, and he made a fairly good decision on this issue. Eventually, the Serbs relinquished some of their power and carved out a large area, agreeing to the autonomy of the Croats within the framework of the state, and at the same time forming a coalition government, the Yugoslav nation. The contradiction seems to have been partially alleviated.

But what the Yugoslavs never expected was that the Anglo-French alliance, which they thought was extremely strong, would suffer a crushing defeat.

Yugoslavia had completely lost its background, so the question that they would not have considered at all was once again put in front of Prince Paul and the officials of the coalition cabinet, whether the Kingdom of Yugoslavia was going to join the German side.
