After Tito's second pressure, the Soviet Union reacted quickly, and soon Tito found that the aid promised to him by the Soviet Union had been abruptly interrupted, of course, the official reason given was the shortage of supplies and transportation difficulties. But Tito was well aware that this was what the Soviet Union warned him.

It's nothing more than saying, "Didn't you kid say that British and American assistance is enough?" That's simple, our Soviet supplies are also very limited and tight, since you have enough on your side, then there is no hurry. Why don't you pay it back if you're not in a hurry! ”

This made Tito speechless, and he had to accuse the Soviet Union of deliberately making things difficult for him, but they did it perfectly and gave a reasonable excuse. But if you want to say that there really isn't any other factor at work, there is no such coincidence in the world. The material shortage in the Soviet Union is not a matter of one or two days, why didn't you say that you would stop supporting Yugoslavia before, why didn't you say that it was difficult to transport, but after Tito said that, the material shortage and transportation difficulties were decisive, who would believe it if you didn't beat Tito!

In any case, Tito knew what was going on, and in a fit of rage, he urgently sent a telegram to the Comintern, repeatedly emphasizing how difficult it was for the Yugoslav Communist Party and the partisans, how important the struggle was, and urging the Soviet Union to provide aid as soon as possible.

He even wrote personal letters to Lenin and Trotsky, playing the sad card and making small reports. But it didn't work, ****** had already made a decision, first Bulgaria, then Greece, and then Yugoslavia. This is the established policy, and Tito's speech before did make the bigwigs a little annoyed, which side are you? Eat Soviet food and do British and American things, Erwuzai, right!

Therefore, Trotsky only wrote to Tito in a painless letter: "The economy of the Soviet Union is very tight, and most of the supplies have to meet the fighting in Ukraine, Belarus and Romania, and Turkey in the south still has hidden dangers, and its capacity is really limited." I ask the Yugoslav comrades to persevere as much as possible, and they will be relieved after this difficulty! ”

This letter disappointed Tito immensely. Trotsky made it clear that he was prevaricating and asking Yugoslavia to insist, but he did not say how long he would hold out, and after surviving the difficulties, it was only relief.

Naturally, Tito was so angry that it seemed that the only way was to relent. Abandonment of the Balkan Federation was the only way to obtain the understanding of the Soviet Union. But Tito is a strong man, and the more you oppress him, the more he will rebel and bounce.

So soon he ordered the representatives of the Yugoslav Communist Party to formally put forward the idea of a Balkan federation at the Comintern, which was not yet an ordinary grand federation that included Yugoslavia, Romania, Bulgaria, Greece, Albania, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, and Hungary. Let's just say that the territory of the Holy Roman Empire in its heyday was nothing more than that. If such a federation is really established, it will definitely become a huge power in the world after the United States, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, and France.

Tito's idea, which received strong support from Dimitrov, looked imposing, but no one expected it. The support they received from the Comintern Executive Committee was pitiful, or rather the representatives of no country agreed with Tito and Dimitrov. In particular, the representatives of Romania and Albania were strongly opposed, almost-for-tat, following Tito and Dimitrov in the streets.

This result once again surprised Tito and Dimitrov, who seemed to be the only ones who should be resolutely opposed, and other countries were probably more willing to remain neutral, such as Romania and George. Black. Dezhi should still express limited consent, why did the Romanians suddenly side with the Soviet Union?

George. Black. Tokuji did what Tito thought at first. It was happy to see the big guys in the region huddle together to resist the Soviet Union, but three realities made him change his mind. First. It is the current situation in Romania, the German army in the territory has not been completely driven away, and the Romanian Communist Party alone will not be able to do anything to the Germans and Antonescu, what if it is now openly contradicting the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union directly drives him down and supports a puppet?

This possibility is not impossible, look at the Bulgarian Workers' Party. No sooner had Dimitrov been stabbed than the Soviet Union replaced it with an Orthodox Patriotic Party, which was still a capitalist party. It can be seen that on this kind of issue, the Soviet Union has no discipline at all.

If you really mix with Tito and Dimitrov, I'm afraid that not only the Balkan Federation will not be able to do it. Romania will also become a puppet of the Soviet Union, completely losing its autonomy, which is really too much to do.

As for the second reason, the idea of the Balkan federation itself is problematic. What's the problem? That is the subject of the state? From the perspective of posterity, we consider Yugoslavia and Romania to be equal sovereign States or entities. There should be equal powers between the two.

But in the case of the Balkan federation it is not so simple!

Why? The problem lies with Yugoslavia. As mentioned earlier, this country is a big platter, an entity formed by Serbia, Croatia, Montenegro, Herzegovina, Bosnia, Macedonia and other countries. Some of these entities were once independent kingdoms, some were semi-independent principalities, and in short, the small states that made up the Yugoslav entity were independent and sovereign. Let's put it this way, Yugoslavia is actually very similar to the Soviet Union, a collection of countries.

And now that Yugoslavia wants to form a federation with Romania and other countries, there is an unavoidable question: what is the status of these entity states that make up Yugoslavia in the Balkan Federation?

If Yugoslavia and Romania were equal, then these small countries did not enjoy independent status and could not enjoy the same powers as Romania in the Federation. If the future federation is this model, then George. Black. Dezhi has no opinions, and thinks it is fair and reasonable.

But now George. Black. The problem with Dezhi was that Tito's attempt to give the small states that made up Yugoslavia the same status and power as Romania meant that it was not Yugoslavia that joined the Bal Federation, but a bunch of small states.

This makes George. Black. The rule of virtue is unacceptable, this is equivalent to Romania being a head lower than Yugoslavia, it is simply Yugoslavia annexed Romania, how can this be accepted? Anyway, he was vehemently opposed to this approach.

Actually, it's not just George. Black. Virtue rule is against it, and the Bulgarian Workers' Party is not entirely in agreement. They also believed that this was Tito's attempt to make Greater Yugoslavia under the guise of the Bal Federation, which was completely harboring evil intentions. It's just that Dimitrov's prestige in the Bulgarian Workers' Party is too high, and he can temporarily suppress the opposition.

Jean George. Black. The third reason for Dezhi's opposition to Tito and Dimitrov's proposal was that Li Xiaofeng fired a George. Black. A price that Tokuji couldn't refuse at all - Bessarabia!

Bessarabia is actually the Moldova of later generations, and it has been divided and combined countless times in history. After the end of World War I, Bessarabia took advantage of the end of Tsarist Russia and declared independence in 1918. Then after three months, he defected to Romania. In 1940, because of the growth of the Soviet Union, this piece was forcibly snatched back from Romania again.

And now in this period of history, because of the fall of Stalin in 1940, there is naturally no time to grab Bessarabia. But after the outbreak of World War II, with the full-scale counteroffensive of the Red Army, Bessarabia was liberated by the Russians. After that, there has been a voice for Bessarabia to become a union republic of the USSR and annex it to the USSR.

The call is so strong. So much so that George. Black. He tried the Soviet Union's tone several times, but the results were not particularly good, as if the Soviet Union really had the idea of annexing Bessarabia.

This made George. Black. There was a deep sense of crisis in the rule of virtue, and if today the Soviet Union could annex Bessarabia as a member country, would Romania follow in the footsteps of the Soviet Union tomorrow?

Just in George. Black. When Tokuji became more and more worried, a certain immortal suddenly found him: "Comrade Tokuji, it's time to discuss the issue of Bessarabia......"

George. Black. Tokuji wants to say that he is not nervous, that is false. If it was Trotsky or Sverdlov who had come to talk to him about the Bessarabian question, he would have felt a little more relaxed. Those two will at least give some face to the fraternal parties and the old revolution. Also willing to follow tradition. To put it bluntly, it's easy to talk, but what kind of virtue is a certain immortal?

That was the master of even the big British and American hooligans who said that they were pitting, and they had not talked very pleasantly with Dimitrov before, and immediately turned around and gave the Bulgarian Workers' Party a pit. If the talks with him this time are not ideal, will Bessarabia declare independence tomorrow and its annexation to the Soviet Union the day after tomorrow?

For a time George. Black. Virtue rule is the atmosphere does not dare to breathe. Staring straight at a certain immortal, his brain was running at full speed and praying that the Russians would not be too greedy.

Li Xiaofeng also sensed the nervousness of the Romanians, but he really didn't come to pit the Romanians, he came to make a deal. What a deal, naturally, is to return Bessarabia to the Romanians. In exchange for the support of the Romanians in the Balkan Confederation and other issues.

This big pie smashed George. Black. Tokuji was a little dazed, he didn't expect a certain immortal to be so easy to talk to, anyway, he was not very interested in the so-called Balkan Federation, and there was no pressure at all to give the Soviet Union a face.

But George. Black. Dezhi underestimated Li Xiaofeng a little, the intention of a certain immortal is definitely not so simple, Romania is the most important link for the Soviet Union to go out of the Black Sea, and ensuring that Romania follows the baton of the Soviet Union is his ultimate goal.

"The Soviet Union is willing to develop long-term friendly relations with Romania, the two parties are fraternal parties, and the two countries are fraternal countries. In order to resolve the long-standing historical problems of Romania and the Soviet Union, the Soviet Government was willing to negotiate a more peaceful and egalitarian settlement with Romania, and Bessarabia was only the beginning. I believe that after the two countries have resolved the problems left over from history, the relations between the two countries will develop in depth. ”

This paragraph is actually empty words, but it is very important for George. Black. It is also good news for the rule of virtue, if all the problems left over from history can be solved in one go, then there will no longer be any troubles and disputes between Romania and the Soviet Union, and Romania will not have to worry about the Soviet Union coming to the door all the time.

"I am happy to play a role in these issues, and I also appreciate the attitude of the Soviet government in dealing with the problems left over from history on a truly equal and peaceful basis. I believe that after resolving the problems left over from history, the relationship between the two countries will be closer and will go hand in hand! ”

Li Xiaofeng vs. George. Black. Dezhi's statement is also quite satisfied, even if this is empty talk.

"In the future, the Soviet government will strengthen its assistance to Romania to help the Romanian people rebuild their homeland and develop their economy as soon as possible...... The two countries should be more open and complementary economically, and politically there should be a high degree of mutual trust and mutual help......"

George. Black. Dezhi listened very attentively, and he was a little confused about Li Xiaofeng's intention now, because the conditions given by the Russians were really good. But the better the conditions, the more worried he became, the Russians could not be a living Lei Feng, it was impossible to just give and not take, so what did the Russians want?

Li Xiaofeng's demand is actually very simple: "In order to safeguard the peace and traditional interests of the countries bordering the Black Sea, and to promote the development of the revolutionary cause of all countries." On behalf of the Government of the Soviet Union, I would like to formally launch an initiative to your country and your party - the creation of an independent state of the Commonwealth of Independent States. ”

George. Black. Tokuji was a little stunned, and he didn't understand what the hell this independent country was in the CIS. He hurriedly asked, "What is the nature and purpose of this organization?" ”

Li Xiaofeng explained with a smile: "The CIS, an independent country, is not a state. Rather, it is an organization between countries enjoying independent, sovereign and territorial integrity. Its purpose is to safeguard the common interests of the CIS countries and to defend themselves against external threats in a bloc situation. Of course, this CIS is exclusively defensive in nature and plays a role only in the event of external aggression against member states, and active provocations are not protected......"

Anyway, Li Xiaofeng put aside what he had said to Dimitrov before, and this made George . Black. Tokuji fell into deep thought. He was well aware that the so-called independent CIS was an alliance of states, and needless to say that this was what the Russians were planning for the post-war division of power. If you join this alliance, you will inevitably stand on the opposite side of the hostility of Britain and the United States. Truth be told, the pressure is not small.

But George. Black. Toji is a little different from Tito and Dimitrov. He was neither as enthusiastic about the formation of Greater Yugoslavia as the former, nor as enthusiastic as the latter in believing that only a neutral state could survive and develop.

George. Black. Virtue was not opposed to forming an alliance, and he believed that communist countries were meant to form an alliance against capitalism, and there was no pressure on him to choose sides. And the USSR has already given very good conditions, if this is not agreed, then it is really unacquainted.

So George. Black. Toji quickly agreed in principle, but he had several doubts: "First, except for Romania. What other countries in the CIS are confirmed to join. Second, did a certain immortal also send invitations to Dimitrov and Tito? Third. Whether this CIS is really established on the basis of respect for territorial integrity and sovereign independence. ”

Li Xiaofeng answered his questions one by one: At present, in addition to Romania, Poland, Albania, and Norway have also been determined to join the CIS, and the Bulgarian Orthodox Patriotic Party, the Hungarian Communist Party, the Czechoslovak Communist Party, and the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia have expressed considerable interest in this. If in the future these countries are liberated, and these parties become the ruling parties, then there is a high probability of joining.

As for the second and third questions, Li Xiaofeng said frankly: "It is true that invitations have been sent to Tito and Dimitrov. But the former did not respond positively, and the latter explicitly objected. But the Soviet government would like to emphasize that we do not force any country to join the CIS, respect the choice of each country, and the CIS is not a black shop. If you are not satisfied, you can quit. At the same time, the Soviet Union's original intention in forming the CIS was not to engage in aggression, still less to annex the countries it joined in disguise. The Soviet Union has always stressed that the CIS is not the second Soviet Union, and it does not hinder the territorial integrity and sovereign independence of all countries, but is only a defensive institution for communist countries to live together and grow together, and it only has the principle of common defense and no common attack. ”

Li Xiaofeng's statement made George. Black. Tokuji is a lot easier, if the conditions are really like this, then there is no pressure for him to join at all. And Li Xiaofeng in order to make George. Black. Tokuji was relieved, and in particular, handed over to him the draft declaration of the CIS of an independent state proposed by the Soviet Union. It is true that there are no clauses in this draft that impede the sovereignty of the member states, and the only thing that needs attention is the so-called mutual defense clause.

In accordance with the requirements of this article, the member states will be unanimous in their external affairs and will be highly generalized and standardized in their armaments and national defense construction, and will adopt common standards and models, and the armed forces of the countries will in principle be under the command of the CIS Joint Staff under the premise that the mutual defense clause will come into effect.

This one really made George. Black. Tokuji was a little worried, but when he saw the formation model of the Joint Staff, he breathed a sigh of relief. This joint staff is composed of military representatives from various countries, the principle of equality in numbers, and the principle of democracy in military decision-making, and in peacetime it has no actual authority to command the armed forces.

These terms don't say let's George. Black. Tokuji was completely relieved, but it also made him see the sincerity of the Soviet Union, and if an alliance was formed under this framework, then the sovereignty of the member countries would indeed be guaranteed to be inviolable.

So George. Black. Tokuji had absolutely no reason to speak for Tito and Dimitrov. And when he was on the side of the Soviet Union, the opposition to the establishment of the Balkan Federation was very strong, and compared with Yugoslavia and Bulgaria, the Soviet Union, Romania, and Albania were much heavier, and naturally Tito was disappointed again......
