As mentioned earlier, King Alexander was eventually assassinated in Paris, and the name given to him in Serbian history basically did not end well.

Actually, it doesn't matter, in the original history, the Kingdom of Yugoslavia ended after his son succeeded to the throne, and there would be no king named Alexander. However, now that there is Xu Jun, this question is a little uncertain.

Now let's talk about this Prince Paul, this man can be regarded as a wonderful flower in the history of Yugoslavia. Paul. Karageovich's father was King Peter I's younger brother Arsen, and from the moment he was born the prince had no hope of succession, and his uncle Peter I had two sons in succession, even if one died in infancy, the other could have a backup.

Although the prince Paul did not have the opportunity to inherit the throne, he still had the conditions to receive a royal education. When he was in his twenties, he traveled thousands of miles to study in Oxford, England, and in addition to appreciating the prosperity and development of the United Kingdom, it was also an opportunity to get acquainted with the traditional British aristocracy.

Since the Berlin Conference, the Serbs, who felt the "goodwill" of the British, have become pro-British, and the fierce Serbs by nature worship the powerful men of the world, and they are willing to believe that the British Empire will help them resist all powerful enemies.

Prince Paul's study was indeed a worthwhile trip, not only did he learn scientific knowledge in Oxford, but also learned the British people from the mode of thinking, attitude to political ideas, and even living habits and daily hobbies.

The British education system is indeed very strong, and it is hard to educate a Yugoslav prince as a standard British [gentleman], in every sense.

The Prince Paul befriended a group of British aristocratic friends, two of whom had the greatest influence on him, one was George VI's younger brother, George of England. Edwood. Alexander. Prince Edmund, His Royal Highness the Duke of Kent, and a friend of the Prince's Henry. Sir Canon.

Induced by a group of aristocratic friends, the Serbian prince soon became famous in England, and all over Oxford talked about how the prince spent a lot of money on lavish banquets and balls in the notorious Brinton clubs.

In addition, there is more talk about the prince's choice of mate, because there is evidence that he has been bent by two friends, and has become a bisexual like the two nobles, but it is not known which side he is attacking.

However, this is the prince's personal privacy, and there is no need to investigate it very clearly, anyway, this situation was very common in the aristocratic circles of Europe at that time, and it was not to the extent that it was later talked about.

As for the prince's orientation, Xu Jun currently does not know whether Hitler knew anything, but with the intelligence gathering capabilities of the German intelligence services at that time, it is very likely that Hitler was unaware. Hitler's mental cleanliness and very tough attitude on this issue, coupled with the traditional conservative ideas held by the Germans, the death rate in the Pink Triangle in the concentration camps was more than 60 percent, and even more than the Jews before the Wannsee Conference.

Now turning the topic back, all kinds of information show that this Prince Paul is actually an Englishman dressed as a Serb, which can be seen from a series of political reforms he made after serving as regent, his ruling was deeply influenced by the British government, and the British also knew the prince's tendencies, so they have been sparing no effort to try to win him over, and even awarded him the Knight of the Order of the Garter, which is the highest honor that the British royal family can give to foreign leaders, In recognition of his long-standing friendship with the British royal family.

But in the end, this Prince Paul was not carried away, remembered that he was a Serb, and did not follow the British stupidly, otherwise Yugoslavia would have perished long ago.

Prince Paul was one of the few Serbs with a big-picture vision, who did not look at the small Balkans, but on the situation in Europe as a whole. He saw the crisis that the Kingdom of Yugoslavia was facing, so he chose to reconcile with the Croats, even at the expense of infringing on the interests of the Serbian people, which was indeed very remarkable in Xu Jun's opinion.

However, because of this, he was regarded as a traitor and a coward by the Serbs, especially in the Serbian army, which had always held ultra-conservative ideas, and many officers were already dissatisfied with the regent's performance in power.

Prince Paul abolished many of his cousin's decrees, many of which were directly related to the centralization of royal power, after all, his educational experience led him to be very keen on the British constitutional monarchy, and in his opinion, the royal dictatorship that his cousin had built with great difficulty was very anachronistic, and some power should be returned to Parliament and the people.

The problem is that you just give power back to the Serbs, how can you even treat the Croats equally. Besides, the loser will be defeated, but he will defeat himself, but now what he has abolished is all the power that should belong to his nephew.

Many people began to wonder if the prince's intentions were for another purpose, to buy people's hearts, in order to depose Peter II and make him the master.

It is not impossible to say that after all these years of regency, how could this prince not have personal ambitions, especially his Greek princess wife, who is said to be bent on making her two sons the heir to the throne.

Although this should be the internal affair of the Yugoslavs, once Prince Paul succeeds to the throne, it will inevitably cause a chain reaction among the Balkan countries.

It is still difficult to say that Romania, Bulgaria, and Austria would not act rashly without Germany's approval, but Hungary and Italy will certainly take this as an opportunity to pick quarrels and provoke trouble, and even directly send troops to interfere with the Yugoslav succession, which has a lot of precedents to follow in Europe.

According to the personal speculation of the governor of Vienna, the prince was very concerned about the current military movements of Germany, so this visit should be related to the rapid reaction cluster of German troops that is now gathering along the Austrian border.

At this time, Xu Jun didn't want to guess too much, and when he met people, everything would become clear, and his headache was how to solve a series of troubles caused by Yugoslavia once it wanted to fall to Germany. A stable and unified Yugoslav kingdom is more in line with Germany's current interests than a bunch of fragmented and mutually attacking Yugoslavia.

A harmonious and stable Balkan Peninsula would provide Germany with a strong flank barrier and reduce the pressure on the German army's flank defenses. The general state of traffic roads in these countries is maddening, and there is no need to worry about some cluster of heavy armor crossing the mountains and suddenly appearing in front of the Germans.

Although many Balkans do not like Germany, what they hate even more deeply is the giant red bear opposite.

When Germany defeated Britain and France and became the new hegemon of Europe, there was a clear change in their attitude towards Germany. An example of this is the Bulgarian Tsar, who had always been reluctant to see an alliance with Germany, and although he had good relations with Germany during Hitler's rule, he also maintained good relations with Britain and France.

It was only when the three Baltic states were annexed by Russia that the tsar realized that he might be the next victim, and he was prepared to form an alliance with Germany. When the news of the surrender of Britain and France came, the determination of the tsar was strengthened, especially when the Soviet Union suddenly sent envoys to try to sign a mutual assistance treaty with Bulgaria, the king was immediately frightened into a cold sweat. So Bulgaria immediately turned to Germany in an all-round way, asking Germany for protection, this tsar in order to keep his country, has completely abandoned moderation, the originally reserved mess of Bulgaria, in the blink of an eye has become a loyal dog of Germany.

Unlike history, Germany's victory came a few months later than in history, because of Hitler's death and the second Vienna arbitration in history. Xu Jun was not as eager for quick success as Hitler, and did not hesitate to betray the interests of other allies in order to buy Hungary.

Perhaps because of the different times in which he lived, the flow of information and various theories of globalization in later generations, Xu Jun's vision was far broader than that of most national leaders at that time.

Hitler was confined to his education and long-established worldview, and his vision could not be long-term, and his foreign policy has been criticized by later historians, and this is actually the reason for this.

Hitler was just an ordinary man from the lower classes of Austria, he had no higher education, his ideas came from various tabloids and fantasies, he did not even leave Germany before the war, and many ideas and theories were cobbled together from history books.

As a result, his diplomatic thinking was full of errors and fallacies, and he often substituted the German and Austrian thinking patterns for countries he did not understand, which also led to his frequent misestimation of the strength of his allies and opponents.

Now on Xu Jun, these problems do not exist, and there are few people in this world who know the truth about the countries of World War II better than him.

Yugoslavia was listed by Xu Jun as a region that must not be intervened in, because he knew that this ghost place was simply the Afghanistan of Europe, even more chaotic than Afghanistan.

The Croats were close to the Germans, because they had been loyal Habsburg subjects, and in fact they did not want to be independent at all, but only wanted to be a good people under the protection of Austria, and it was the League of Nations who forcibly divided the areas they lived in to the Serbs.

Now that Austria has been annexed by Germany, in the eyes of the Croats, Germany is the heir to the Habsburgs, so there is a general affection for the Croatian common people towards Germany.

Now if the unity of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia is to be maintained, then the Croats will become an unavoidable problem, and how Germany should deal with the contradictions between these peoples is the key question for maintaining the stability of the country. Or simply supporting the Croats as they did historically, and then leaving the mess to them to deal with, is obviously not feasible, and Xu Jun believes that he will not be at peace on his conscience just by sitting back and watching several ethnic groups slaughter civilians against each other.

Only after Prince Paul arrives can Xu Jun make a corresponding decision according to the other party's attitude and opinions.

The FW200 plane carrying Prince Paul arrived safely in Berlin, and in order to avoid people's eyes, Xu Jun did not go to the airport to welcome him personally, and he did not even dispatch the luxury convoy of the Chancellery. Germany only used a fleet of Mercedes-Benz cars from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to secretly send the prince to the Chancellery, and without going through the main gate, they sent people directly into the underground garage through the side door, so that Prince Paul and his party almost thought that the Germans were going to kidnap them.

After careful security screening by the officers of the Flag Guard, the Yugoslav Mission, which had surrendered all its weapons, was ushered into the upper Chancellery. The Yugoslavs breathed a sigh of relief as they walked along the fabled gallery, at the glittering ornaments around them, at the guards standing on either side with their chests high and without squinting, and on the glamorous marble floor beneath their feet.

Under the guidance of Tysenhofen, Prince Paul walked alone and cautiously into the office of the head of the Reich. This is the second time he has come to this place, but things are different, and this spacious and gorgeous office has changed owners.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, His Royal Highness Prince Paul. Xu Jun was already standing in the middle of the office waiting, and when he saw Paul enter, the head of the empire stepped forward and enthusiastically stretched out his hand to the other party.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Your Excellency the Führer." Prince Paul hurriedly shook hands with Xu Jun and bowed slightly.

Diplomacy is a contest of strength between two countries, and although the Prince of Yugoslavia may sound like a noble position, he is not in the same weight class at all compared to the powerful Führer of the Greater German Empire.

The two sides exchanged polite exchanges, and then Tysenhaven led the Prince of Yugoslavia to the meeting area on the north side of the office and took a seat. Tea and refreshments were already on the table, mostly according to Serbian tastes.

"Your Excellency, please save Yugoslavia." Regardless of the fact that Xu Jun's adjutant had not left, Prince Paul directly put on a sad expression, lowered his head and pleaded with Xu Jun.

Such a straightforward and explicit approach surprised the head of the empire who had been mentally prepared for a long time, and it was rare for Xu Jun to lose his square inch in front of his subordinates.
