In fact, Li Xiaofeng had no interest in liberating Albania at first, and Yugoslavia meant little to him, let alone Albania, which had a big nose. Li Xiaofeng was not the Taizu of the sixties, and he needed a so-called socialist beacon to help him speak in the Sino-Soviet polemic.

However, when the Albanians took the initiative to hand over the olive branch, Li Xiaofeng's attitude changed, and the Albanians and Yugoslavia were not very harmonious, or Tito and Hoxha could not pee together. The former sought the establishment of a Greater Yugoslav State, while the latter strongly insisted on the independence and autonomy of Albania in order to preserve its own status.

From Li Xiaofeng's point of view, neither Tito nor Hoxha did he like it, because these two refused to follow the baton of the Soviet Union, they were always tossing there, and they were so poor that they could not bring much benefit to the Soviet Union. What is the use of such a so-called partner?

However, the situation is a little different now, as mentioned earlier, Dimitrov is a ******** contrarian on the Bulgarian issue, and he has also joined Tito to make a fuss. Although this kind of noisy power is like that, but all in all, it's annoying, isn't it?

Especially Tito, he still has a certain international status, and now he is still the object of British and American wooing, so it seems to be a bit of a tail. Anyway, some of his public remarks were directly directed at a certain immortal, which made a certain immortal quite unhappy.

In Li Xiaofeng's view, if Lao Tzu doesn't go to the Yugoslav issue to make trouble, it will give you Tito's face, don't you say thank you, at least you can't openly sing the opposite tone of the Soviet Union, and there will be endless on the Bulgarian issue, right?

Li Xiaofeng felt that Tito was a little flustered, and he was really ready to establish a Greater Balkan Federation. Since you Tito don't know each other, he doesn't mind teaching Tito a lesson. Aren't you trying to create a Balkan federation that includes Yugoslavia, Greece, Romania, and Bulgaria? Then Lao Tzu will tell you every minute - no play!

Albania, or Hoxha, had no interest in joining the Balkan Federation, which was destined to make him his younger brother. So even if you haven't been able to fight for national independence. He also realized that if he wanted to be the boss of Albania in the future, he could not follow the rhythm of Yugoslavia and Tito, but had to find a fat thigh to hug tightly, and this thigh should also be able to oppose Tito's claims.

Soon Hoxha found the thigh, and the news that Dimitrov had hit a nail in the nail with Li Xiaofeng and Li Xiaofeng's opposition to the creation of a Balkan federation made the white-eyed wolf ecstatic. In his opinion, as long as the USSR was unequivocally opposed. This Balkan federation could not be created. So when the Red Army occupied Bulgaria, especially after hearing that a certain immortal had arrived in Sofia, Hoxha couldn't sit still and hurried to hug his thigh.

"Thank you to the big brother of the Soviet Union for coming to expel Nazi Germany, the Albanian people and the Bulgarian people have been looking forward to this for a long time, and sincerely hope that the day of liberation will come sooner!"

I have to say that Hoxha was very shameless when he got up, anyway, he was touting Li Xiaofeng, and he was almost compared to a big savior and a living bodhisattva by the big brother of the Soviet Union. Anyway, at first glance, I really thought that this was a loyal dog of the Soviet Union.

But Li Xiaofeng knew. Hoxha's product is by no means a loyal dog, but a full white-eyed wolf, who really has milk and is a mother, that is the best to raise chopsticks to eat meat and put down chopsticks and scold his mother. At that time, once Huaxia terminated its aid to it, this person immediately turned his face and denied it, and the loss was that he was 108,000 miles away from Huaxia, otherwise it could not be ruled out that it would be the second Vietnam.

Therefore, Li Xiaofeng didn't take this sycophant seriously at all. Of course. He wasn't particularly cold either, because he needed a-stirring stick like Hoxha for the time being.

Li Xiaofeng immediately stated that the liberation of Albania was on the agenda of the Red Army. Although for the time being the Red Army is not yet able to carry out this operation immediately, in the future it will certainly give priority to solving the Albanian problem.

Of course, it is impossible to defeat Hoxha with such empty words, let alone let Hoxha help wave the flag. This is the master who doesn't see the rabbit and doesn't scatter the eagle, and the benefits still have to be given.

"I heard that the revolutionary brothers in Albania are in economic difficulty, is there such a thing?" Li Xiaofeng asked very "kindly".

Hoxha nodded busily and replied, "Yes! Of course! ”

Let's be honest. Li Xiaofeng is really disgusted with Hoxha's dead appearance, it is really as funny as the **** competing for places in poor counties in later generations, and his face is really no different from a local dog, it is full of greed.

However, who let a certain immortal still need to use Hoxha for the time being, he could only endure his nausea and continued: "The Soviet government is willing to give the Albanian Labor Party certain material and economic assistance. and to help you strengthen your armed forces......"

Hoxha was really happy, the aid given by the Soviet Union was a bit beyond his imagination, if all this was implemented, then why did Albania follow Yugoslavia to beg for food? Lose your marbles?

Just when Hoxha was full of joy, Li Xiaofeng added: "In the future, the Soviet government believes that an independent Albania is in the interests of the region, and also believes that the Albanian Labor Party led by you, Comrade Hoxha, will be able to lead Albania on the road to independence, freedom, prosperity and strength......

These words are pure nonsense, Hoxha has been in power for more than forty years, is Albania rich and strong? It's still so poor that it clangs. However, Li Xiaofeng's meaning was not about wealth and strength, but about independence and freedom, and he believed that Hoxha would understand what he meant.

Of course, Hoxha understood, although he was a white-eyed wolf, but there was no lack of political wisdom, and it was obvious that Big Brother deliberately emphasized independence and autonomy twice, that is, to ask him to stand up against Tito and Dimitrov.

In this regard, Hoxha has no pressure at all, this little advantage is to take the money and do things, the benefit of receiving **** back then, is to attack Yugoslavia and the Soviet Union with his life, and he spares no effort to support the restoration of the ****'s legal seat in the United Nations, which is a little more disciplined than many corrupt officials in China who took money and did not do anything in later generations.

Hoxha immediately said: "I fully agree with the Soviet Union's vision for the future of the Balkans, that the interests of all nationalities should be fully respected, and that each nation should handle its own affairs independently." Reluctantly bringing the various ethnic groups together will highlight contradictions and be detrimental to the future work of revolutionary construction. ”

Li Xiaofeng nodded and said with satisfaction: "In this way, you can also express more opinions and comments on this issue." It's also good to have an open discussion and brainstorm! ”

Hoxha immediately nodded in agreement. And immediately after receiving the first aid from a certain immortal, he openly criticized Tito and Dimitrov in the Comintern, strongly opposed the creation of a Balkan federation, and vowed to ensure the independence and autonomy of Albania even at the cost of his life.

This statement embarrassed Dimitrov, who had broken his leg for the Balkan Federation. Constantly do the Romanian Workers' Party and George. Black. The work of Virtue Rule, hoping that the Romanian Workers' Party would also be on his side.

But George. Black. Dezhi seemed a little ambiguous, and never gave an accurate statement, and at this time, Hoxha actually jumped out, and made a big statement and a big disobedience, making it clear that Albania would not join the Balkan Federation, which was tantamount to a blatant dismantling.

Dimitrov immediately realized that the problem was serious, and it was obvious that the Soviet Union had bribed Hoxha and deliberately let him stir up the situation. In desperation. He could only go and interview Hoxha in person, hoping to convince Hoxha that a Balkan federation would weaken the influence and control of the Soviet Union, which would be more beneficial to all countries.

It's just that Dimitrov really doesn't know Hoxha too well, this thing is first of all dead money, and if you don't have money, you don't want to impress him at all, and Dimitrov is obviously a poor bastard, and Bulgaria still has to eat Soviet aid. How can you have spare money to support Hoxha?

Without money, Hoxha naturally does not bird Dimitrov, in fact, even Dimitrov gives money. Hoxha will not change his attitude either. The reason is simple, the formation of a Balkan federation could be advantageous for the countries of Yugoslavia, Bulgaria and Romania, which could neutralize the influence and control of the Soviet Union. But for Albania it was not so beneficial for Hoxha himself.

Albania is far from the Soviet Union, and its geographical and political significance is not as great as that of Bulgaria and Yugoslavia, and it is still poor to death. The Soviet Union had no desire to control such a country in the first place, so if Albania became independent. Hoxha and Albania were largely able to guarantee autonomy. Since there is such a guarantee, why bother with Yugoslavia and Bulgaria to keep warm? That would offend the USSR, what's the benefit?

Moreover, once the Balkan Federation is formed, as the little brother of the Federation, Albania will obviously have only a little say. And the same very poor Yugoslavia and Bulgaria will come to Albania's aid?

Obviously, it is impossible, but it is more beneficial to stand on the side of the Soviet Union and dismantle the Yugoslav and Bulgarian Taiwan, and the Soviet Union will definitely give generous tribute to Albania and will also ensure Albania's security.

So Dimitrov's trip was in vain, not only failed to persuade Hoxha to change his mind, but was half angry to death. This made him involuntarily write to Tito again, strongly criticizing the little brother of Yugoslavia (Albania had been messing with Tito before), saying that Hoxha was not enough to entrust Albania with a big responsibility.

Tito's side also wondered, when Hoxha openly opposed the Balkan Federation before, he thought that Hoxha was only opposing it from a nationalist point of view, but now that Dimitrov mentioned this, and according to the grapevine, the Soviet Union gave a lot of aid to the Albanian Labor Party, he immediately knew that something might be wrong.

However, Tito did not realize the seriousness of the problem at the time, and he believed that Hoxha was only being fooled by the Soviet Union. As long as he went and talked to the little brother in person and explained the relationship clearly, he believed that Hoxha should wake up.

Sometimes I have to say that Tito is also naïve, really thinking that in the face of absolute interests, Albania and Hoxha will still be Yugoslavia's obedient little brothers.

Of course, Tito's naivety is not only reflected in the treatment of Albania, but he is indeed a bit drifting now. Because he independently led the Yugoslav partisans and pulled up a powerful armed force against the Nazis, which made him feel that he had capital. And the deliberate co-optation of Britain and the United States in recent times has also made Tito feel quite good. He believed that since Britain and the United States wanted to win him over, then the Soviet Union should also understand his importance, and it was impossible not to take care of his feelings. As long as he made it clear that he wanted to establish a Balkan federation, the Soviet Union would not risk turning against him.

Therefore, Tito immediately called Hoxha and asked him to come to his headquarters to talk. However, what Tito did not expect was that Hoxha directly refused the meeting under the pretext that the situation of the revolutionary struggle in Albania was extremely tense.

This time. Tito was also wary that Hoxha might have something else in mind, but he remained optimistic that he could still convince Hoxha. So he instead wrote a long handwritten letter to Hoxha, in which Tito spoke bitterly in his heart, pointing out the great significance of the establishment of the Balkan Federation. Anyway, all kinds of truths are laid out in a basket.

Anyway, Tito himself felt that he had crumpled the truth and explained it thoroughly, and Hoxha should have understood his painstaking efforts. But Hoxha's reply made him half cold, in his heart Hoxha didn't care about those big truths at all, what if you broke it and crumpled it, Lao Tzu just didn't buy it. In any case, Hoxha clung to one point -- Albania has always been an independent and free sovereign state, and does not accept any initiative that hinders Albania's sovereign integrity and national independence.

Now Tito understands that the little brother has "rebelled" and has given birth to two hearts, and it is no longer something that he can settle with a word. Realizing the seriousness of the problem, Tito immediately took targeted measures and began to look for friends within the Albanian Workers' Party who opposed Hoxha. Ready to oust the disobedient Hoxha through "democratic" means, it also suspended funding for the Albanian Workers' Party in an attempt to force the Albanian Workers' Party to comply, both soft and hard.

It's a pity that Tito's chess is a bad move, although Hoxha is a little white-eyed, but his political skills are quite powerful, and he has long been obedient to the internal training of the Albanian Labor Party, and he has been determined to defect to the Soviet Union from the beginning. He began a round of purge within the party, preempting the pro-Yugoslav No. 2 figure in the party, Kocci. George and his henchmen took control. and put to death immediately. As a result, Tito could not exert any force. More importantly, Yugoslavia had too few resources at its disposal, and with the assistance of the Soviet Union, Hoxha completely disdained Tito's alms, and with the Soviet Union's military guarantee, he was not afraid to turn against Tito.

Soon Tito learned about Kochi. George, Pandey. News of the purge and execution of pro-Yugoslav factions such as Chris. This undoubtedly made him furious, and immediately launched a strong condemnation of Hoxha. Accusing the Albanian Workers' Party of not being a genuine communist party, demanding that Hoxha be removed from his post as general secretary, and also arguing that the Albanian Workers' Party had carried out the wrong line and that there were sectarian activities, and that Hoxha was the main culprit of the wrong line.

All in all. In Tito's mouth, Hoxha is a traitor and an enemy, but he alone does not count, even Dimitrov immediately followed up and made similar opinions, but with the support of Li Xiaofeng, the Soviet Union was on Hoxha's side, and any attack on him had no practical significance. On the contrary, the CPSU extended a warm welcome to Hoxha and declared that it was very optimistic about Hoxha's prospects for leading the Albanian Workers' Party to victory in the revolution.

This undoubtedly greatly boosted Hoxha's arrogance, and soon he carried out a comprehensive purge of the Albanian Workers' Party. The Georgians were arrested and executed, and for a time the pro-Yugoslav faction in Albania was swept away.

It would be false to say that Tito was not angry about such a situation, but he had nothing to do with Hoxha, and with the support of the Soviet Union, he could not move Hoxha in the slightest, and the situation facing the Yugoslav Communist Party was not very good. Although the Soviet Red Army made great progress in Belarus, Ukraine, and Romania, the Red Army did not enter Yugoslavia, which made it impossible for Tito's partisans to confront the Germans head-on. In the face of the encirclement and suppression of the German army, it was impossible for him to be distracted to repair Hoxha.

Of course, Tito was not the master who could not fight back, he was a nationalist from beginning to end, and it was his lifelong dream to build a Great Yugoslavia, and even to build a Balkan Federation. To achieve this, he will use everything in his favor. For example, the use of Britain and the United States to put pressure on the Soviet Union.

Soon Tito made a pro-British and American speech to the American reporters of Time magazine, and although the wording was very euphemistic, the ambiguous meaning could be seen by everyone. Tito just wanted to tell the Soviet Union: "Don't think that only you can support me, I also have friends in the West, and I will vote for Lao Tzu!" ”

In Tito's view, after he published such an article, the Soviet Union should be under pressure, not to mention immediately relenting, at least it will not openly use Albania to stir up trouble, and it should soften and win him over. It's just that what Tito didn't expect at all was that after learning the news, several bigwigs in the Soviet Union did not say anything, and even owed courtesy and comfort, and almost ignored Yugoslavia.

This made Tito stunned, wondering why it had become like this, did the USSR really not care about Yugoslavia?

Tito carried out a second round of temptation in desperation, and he began to publicly praise the British and American aid to him (airdropped a lot of supplies to him), anyway, the implication was that the British and American support was very strong and made him very satisfied, as if as long as there was British and American support, the Yugoslav Communist Party could single out the German army.

This was nothing more than another pressure on Tito, but the consequences of this pressure were completely unexpected...... (To be continued.) )
