Tito is not a soft persimmon, look at the route of this rise, from an ordinary prisoner of war to a head of state, this is an easy task? There is no wrist or means to sit in that position. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

At that time, this goods borrowed from the Soviet Union and the Communist Party. The support of the International Industry has strongly purged the domestic faction of the South Korean Communist Party, turning the scattered South Communist Party into a powerful fighting machine headed by him, and the level of this product in this regard is not lower than that of Taizu.

Looking at the liberation of Yugoslavia, in the international political arena, this is also quite bold, saying that he will turn his face with the Soviet Union. Dalin, disgusted. Dalin can still be in the total. The people who are alive and kicking in the camp of industryism can be very low.

Looking at Tito's series of methods back then, with the help of British and American forces to resist the intervention of the Soviet Union, not only did he obtain British and American aid (more than 100 million US dollars), but in the end, he did not offend the Soviet Union to death, but he got off the donkey and resumed relations with the Soviet Union.

With such a super strong wrist, can Sverdlov really pinch him casually? So what exactly is Sverdlov going to do with the Yugoslav problem now? According to Xiao Si's idea, Yugoslavia as a whole is really an unstable factor in southern Europe, otherwise Tito could be so awesome and coaxing? The best way to bring Yugoslavia to a halt is to dismantle the Yugoslav federation. When Yugoslavia became a series of small countries, could it still compete with the Soviet Union?

So the next key question, did Yugoslavia have a basis for secession? This one really exists, and if it weren't for the Holy Roman Empire and its direct descendant, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which had been guarding it, it would have been a big platter of fragments. In fact, even during the reign of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the tendency towards national separation in this area was very obvious.

Of course, at this time, we must pull a bit about history, and from the perspective of Li Xiaofeng's education back then, the Celestial Empire considered Austria-Hungary to be evil, and those national separatists were worthy of sympathy. This is very much in line with the anti-colonial and anti-imperialist tone that the Celestial Empire has always adhered to. However, to be honest, the Austro-Hungarian Empire was probably not so evil back then, such as the well-known assassination in Sosana Jevo, the trigger of World War I. According to the Celestial Empire, this was an initiative of Austria-Hungary to provoke, and the dead Archduke Ferdinand was an out-and-out warmonger.

But is that really the case? In fact, if you take a closer look, you will know that this Archduke Ferdinand was not a hawk in the Austro-Hungarian Empire back then, on the contrary, he has always been ****. He had always suppressed the anti-Serbian forces within the Austro-Hungarian Empire and advocated a peaceful solution to the problem.

Of course, this is not to defend the Archduke Ferdinand, his **** is also relative, the fundamental reason why he does not advocate the use of force to solve the problem is that he advocates the use of cultural evolution and other soft policies to turn the Serbs, Slovenes, and Croats included in the empire into obedient citizens of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. And he's pretty good at it!

Why? Because it was his approach that was so successful that it made Serbia, which had just taken out the previous king and queen and became radical as a whole, feel a great threat. As mentioned in the previous chapter, Serbia before and after World War I was in high national sentiment, strongly opposed Austria-Hungary, and was ready to rescue the Serb compatriots in Slovenia, Croatia and other places, and behind this the Russians continued to operate behind the scenes, resulting in unprecedented tension between Serbia and Austria-Hungary.

So don't think that Serbia is so innocent, they are not passively dealing with the aggression of Austria-Hungary, in fact, these people are relying on the support of Tsarist Russia, constantly finding fault with Austria-Hungary.

Comrades can imagine how awkward the situation of Archduke Ferdinand was at that time. As mentioned earlier, within the Austro-Hungarian Empire, he was ****, did not advocate the use of force to have a direct conflict with Serbia, and hoped to stabilize the territory with a policy of softness. This inevitably led to him being attacked by the hawks represented by the Austro-Hungarian military, and externally, a bunch of stupid Serbs pointed the finger at this ****, saying that he was the aggressor.

Let's just say that after the events in Sarajevo, the tragedy belonged only to Archduke Ferdinand and his wife, and both the Austro-Hungarians and the Serbs were overjoyed and saw it as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

The rest is known to everyone, after the First World War, the Austro-Crarian Empire was torn apart, the minorities were liberated, and free people such as Masaryk were liberated. The main faction led the independence and liberation of the country. It seems that everything is so good, but is it true?

Unfortunately, this is. After the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the common people of the countries that broke away, especially the independent Czechoslovakia, felt that the standard of living had dropped considerably. These teases turned their tune and began to miss the dragon-like Austro-Crènate again. And the only people who benefit from this are the so-called national liberators such as Masaryk.

Therefore, no matter when and where, it is best not to listen to the words of the leading party, and it is really not worth paying for one's life.

To get back to the point, Central and Eastern Europe, and especially Yugoslavia, can be said to be a gift from the Entente to the Serbs after the First World War - in recognition of their detonation of the First World War, many territories that did not belong exclusively to the Serbs were naturally allocated to them. For example, Croatia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia. This piece is completely a multi-ethnic platter, that is, World War II produced a Hitla, and all the hatred of these nationalities was firmly pulled, which gave Tito a chance to perform.

And look at what Tito did in terms of ethnic policy after he came to power? In today's terms, it is denationalization, one is to replace the internal contradictions between nationalities with class struggle, and the other is to replace the Serbs, Croats, and Albanians with the Yugoslav nation. To put it bluntly, this is a process of unification, and why did Tito do this? It's nothing more than that the ******** and conflicts in this ghost place are too intense and long-standing, and if you don't do this, the country will not be able to form a whole.

Later, we also saw that as soon as Tito died, there was a problem within Yugoslavia, and after only ten years, the alliance was completely divided, and finally directly led to the demise of Yugoslavia, which Tito single-handedly created.

Objectively speaking, it is really possible for Sverdlov to divide Yugoslavia, and he also made a start, spinning Slovenia out. Next, as long as it is concocted in the same way, it is enough to strip away a few more centrifugal ethnic groups.

So, is there such a nation? Yes, Albanians. Some comrades may wonder, what kind of race is the Albanians? In fact, the Albanians are Albanians, and to put it bluntly, they are Albanians who believe in YSL religion in Yugoslavia. As we all know, after the fall of Constantinople in 1453, this piece was once under the control of the Ottoman Turks, and with the Turkish rule, the number of ****** ethnic groups in the Balkans was quite large. The largest ****** settlement in Yugoslavia is Kosovo.

Why are there so many Albanians here in Kosovo? The reason is also very simple, it has something to do with the terrain, Kosovo is a rare plain terrain in Yugoslavia, surrounded by a piece of mountainous land, when Turkey hit here, it was more difficult to attack westward, relying on the cover of the mountains The Holy Roman Empire withstood the Turkish onslaught. Therefore, in this plain area, there are many Albanians. Let's put it this way, Kosovo is the gateway of Christendom against the ********** world.

Later, Kosovo became part of Serbia, and the two natural enemies, Albanians and Serbs, had to live together. We all know that later the Albanians demanded independence, giving NATO an excuse to break up the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. However, what many comrades do not know is that Kosovo is not just asking for independence, but in fact what Kosovo really wants is independence from the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and Serbia and then its integration with Albania.

Why? Because Albania is also a country with ****** as the main body, and Kosovo considers itself an Albanian nation!

As a result, coupled with the fact that the Serbs were not very friendly to ****** in the first place, and the two sides often fought over the little thing about the homestead, it was natural that the Kosovars did not have much sense of identity with Serbia or the Great Yugoslavia dominated by Tito. A strongman like Tito can be suppressed when he is alive, and when he dies, it will naturally be a flood.

Sverdlov, who had studied Yugoslav history and ********, quickly found this point of attack, but he did not take action immediately, and politicians also wanted to talk about eating things. The protarian camp has seen the tragic end of daring to argue with him, but if the means are too drastic, they will also frighten the flowers and plants.

Therefore, Sverdlov is ready to slow down first, let Tito go first through certain channels, scare and scare that guy, and if he still refuses to give in and bow his head, then it is not too late to operate Kosovo.

But what Sverdlov didn't expect was that Tito was not a good man, and he didn't think he had to bow to the Soviet Union, but instead thought he had the strength to fight. Almost as Sverdlov was looking at the wind, he suddenly announced: "Yugoslavia will accept economic assistance from Britain and the United States, and the Yugoslav government and people are also grateful from the bottom of their hearts to Britain and the United States for their help in this difficult moment!" ”

It seems that Tito is just talking about things, but this is actually a slap in the face of the Soviet Union or Sverdlov. After the surrender of the Nazis, Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union were completely unable to cope with the issue of war reparations and the reconstruction of Europe. Although Britain and the United States have not been able to fundamentally change the reality that the Soviet Union occupied most of Europe, it does not prevent them from using soft power to win over those younger brothers of the Soviet Union.

For Britain and the United States, there is a kind of high-pressure control over Central and Eastern European countries by the Soviet Union, depending on how long you can control it. Anyway, we don't want to ignore the vote of Central and Eastern Europe for the time being, just spend money to buy a good feeling. Once you can't control the situation, the favor that Lao Tzu bought with money can come in handy.

Therefore, the Americans were particularly enthusiastic and enthusiastic about the Soviet Union on the issue of post-war reconstruction, and they were eager to put money in their pockets, just because they were afraid that these goods would not dare to ask for it. To be honest, this was a provocation in disguise, almost equivalent to a direct greeting to the face of the USSR. The Soviet Union certainly did not have that much money to buy people's hearts, and if these little brothers were ordered not to take the money of the Americans, as in history, the final result would be that no one on either side of the country was satisfied.

In fact, not to mention history, but to talk about the present, Sverdlov felt that this method of Britain and the United States was a serious provocation, that is, to use money to corrupt those newborn socialist brothers when there was no way to threaten the Soviet Union with force. This is a blatant slap in the face to him, the core of the Soviet leadership, which is absolutely unacceptable!

Anyway, Sverdlov is angry about this, although the political . The governance bureau did not make any decision on this, but Xiao Si believes that preventing the younger brothers from accepting American aid is a political attitude, and there is no room for the slightest mistake

And now Tito, a bastard, dares to be the first to openly accept the aid of Britain and the United States, isn't this a clear argument against him? This was a provocation by Chiguoguo, which could not be tolerated, and Sverdlov did not hesitate to firmly support the right of the Kosovo Albanians to national self-determination.

Of course, Sverdlov would not be foolish enough to declare first that the Soviet Union supported the natural rights of the people of Kosovo and supported their independence and liberation. This is too red and low-level, and the results may not be ideal, and it does not show his political means. Especially after a certain immortal had shown great skill in the matter of Silesia and Pomerania, Sverdlov felt that he should not behave worse than someone else.

So, Sverdlov decided to play tricks, what kind of tricks? First, he found Hoxha, the boss of the Albanian Communist Party. Didn't you say earlier, Albania is an Albanian, and Kosovo is also an Albanian, and the centripetal force between the two sides is very strong. That is, Tito behaved too badly, so that Hoxha did not have the courage to provoke and make trouble in Kosovo. And now that the big brother of the Soviet Union has expressed his support for Kosovo's independence and integration with Albania, what are you waiting for?

Hoxha soon contacted his compatriots in Kosovo and with his covert support became a Kosovo National Liberation Council. After some operation, the committee officially announced to the world: "Kosovo's Albanians have always been oppressed and enslaved by the Serbs, and in order to fight against this inequality, we formally demand that Kosovo be self-governing!" ”

Of course, autonomy is only the first step, this is the inevitable line to play this set, first you have to ask for autonomy, and then find the right time to declare independence, and after independence, you can naturally do whatever you want.

Of course, Tito is also quite aware of this trick, once he recedes the power of self-government in Kosovo, the next domino effect will be and the whole of Yugoslavia will collapse. And the best and most practical way to stop all this is to speak with your fists and nip in the bud the impudent demands of the Kosovo Albanians.

Therefore, upon learning of the so-called autonomy demands of the Kosovo National Liberation Council, Tito immediately sent his troops to Kosovo on the grounds that peace would be maintained against the separatist rebels.

It should be said that this response was very timely and swift, and it reflected the qualities that he should have as a political strongman. However, this matter is also problematic, because Sverdlov is also well aware of Tito's every move, and Xiao Si is eager for Tito to do some tricks in Kosovo.

Soon, the local Albanians in Kosovo clashed with Tito's troops, and if you think about it, the two families have been disagreeing with each other for hundreds of years, and now they are coming together for such a thing, and it doesn't happen instantly.

Generally speaking, it is difficult for such local conflicts to attract widespread attention after World War II, but whoever makes both sides of the conflict more than just represent themselves, Sverdlov's side can only directly intervene if he is holding back his magnification tricks to make things bigger. So soon the Kosovo affair dominated the front pages of several major Soviet newspapers for a long time.

With Sverdlov's hints, the bias of these newspapers is self-evident, the Albanians have become endearing little pitifuls, and Tito has become the heinous demon king.

According to Sverdlov's thoughts, the Soviet Union has already criticized the public opinion, and Tito will be a little bit of a mouse-thrower, but what Xiao Si didn't expect is that Tito is not afraid of this kind of war of words at all, and even this one is fighting a war of words with Xiao Si on the one hand, and on the other hand, he is ruthless to clean up the Albanians, which is called killing decisively.

In this round, Sverdlov lost the upper hand, but Xiao Si didn't think he would lose, he just felt that Tito was too cold-blooded, and he had to find a way to clean him up, otherwise things would be unimaginable.

Soon, Sverdlov began to provide military assistance to the Albanian armed forces in Kosovo through Hoxha's connections, which was basically a routine for Albania to pay for weapons to the Soviet Union.

Some comrades may ask, why didn't Sverdlov directly give assistance to the Albanians? Anyway, now the surplus materials of World War II are piled up like a hill, so if you don't give it for nothing, you won't give it for nothing! In fact, Sverdlov also wanted to give it directly, and even wanted to directly send troops to intervene. However, two reasons dispelled his thoughts: One was international public opinion, and on the Kosovo issue, although he mobilized some media to make a big noise, the reaction within the entire socialist camp was not positive, and it was just that he was shaving his head and picking his head. The reason is also very simple, who doesn't want to be in charge? Who wants to have a mother-in-law in charge, not to mention that the Yugoslav issue also involves the issue of British and American aid, and the Central and Eastern European countries naturally cannot completely stand on the side of the Soviet Union, everyone is silent, just wait to see who wins and loses in the end, and then make up their minds.

This is still the first reason, and the second reason is that Sverdlov has not fully won domestic support, and the vote led by Li Xiaofeng believes that Yugoslavia should not interfere excessively in its internal affairs. Excessive use of force would have caused Tito to completely fall to Britain and the United States. What's more, Li Xiaofeng has always felt that Yugoslavia's little is not important at all, Tito is willing to toss Yugoslavia as he wants, just ignore him, Fan can't provoke such a madman. Even Lenin and Trotsky felt that Sverdlov's effect was not good, and let him take it easy.

These two reasons determine that Sverdlov has no way to directly intervene in the Kosovo issue, or even in politics. The Administration also rejected the offer to supply arms to Kosovo Albanian forces. So much so that if Sverdlov wanted to give Albanian assistance, he had to go around from the Albanian side in the name of Albanian economic aid in exchange for Albania supplying weapons to Kosovo Albanians.

After going around such a circle, the Albanians in Kosovo naturally cannot take advantage of it, and can only use guerrilla warfare to deal with Tito's troops, that is, the Albanians occupy the vast majority in Kosovo, have a popular base, and can barely support themselves.

Regarding this result, Li Xiaofeng also knows that it is too normal for the Albanians or ****** to be not good at fighting. Anyway, in modern times, they have behaved in various battlefields. Several wars in the Middle East have been beaten, and even in the midst of infighting, they have been disgraced (look at the performance of the Saudi princes in Yemen, which fully proves how ridiculous weaponism is). In fact, the Albanians did not behave very well in the subsequent Kosovo war, otherwise there would be no need to alarm the American father and NATO to directly intervene.

Anyway, when Li Xiaofeng first heard that Sverdlov was going to bet on Kosovo's Albanians, he directly said to Ruzutak and Kuibyshev: "Yakov has chosen a pig teammate." I'm afraid we're going to lose out on Yugoslavia. ”

And now, this prophecy has also been basically confirmed. The governance felt that Li Xiaofeng's judgment and analysis ability was higher than that of Xiao Si, which made Xiao Si angry, and let Xiao Si impose politics again. Although the government failed to pass a resolution on direct intervention, it still agreed to give a batch of humanitarian relief supplies to the Kosovo Albanians, but in fact, the main thing was arms.

Sverdlov's side is holding back to fight a turnaround, while Li Xiaofeng is not as optimistic as Xiao Si, because of the Yugoslav problem, there is now an unstable trend within the entire socialist camp in Central and Eastern Europe, and those little brothers who have just been subdued are riding the wall one by one to see jokes, especially after Britain and the United States once again handed an olive branch to the less determined Soviet brother and said that they could provide economic assistance, the situation is even more complicated.

Li Xiaofeng felt that he had to go to these houses, one was to stabilize people's hearts, and the other was to warn, of course, the most important task of his trip was to find a way to solve the problems caused by the sugar-coated cannonball of British and American economic aid......
