As the two rogues gradually came to an agreement, the Yugoslav question had a chance to be resolved, with the Soviets paying the price of not expanding aid to the Viet Cong and the United States promising not to cross the 17th parallel. Although www.biquge.info does not say that Vietnam will be divided into two for the time being, this result may be unavoidable.

Of course, Vietnam did not know all this, and Ho Chi Minh was still trying to reunify the whole country by all means, and even did not hesitate to swear that he would not marry until Vietnam was liberated and reunified.

Li Xiaofeng, the initiator of this, has no feelings, he hates Vietnam and the Vietnamese, and Vietnam's geopolitical value is not large, it is absolutely impossible to expect him to raise this group of white-eyed wolves like Benezilev in history. A divided Vietnam is more beneficial to the Soviet Union, then let Vietnam be divided.

After basically agreeing with the Americans, Li Xiaofeng's focus can finally turn back to Europe. Because the current Europe is really not peaceful, in fact, it is also the time when the problems accumulated after World War II have come to an outbreak.

What's the problem? The main thing is the economy, or survival. Since 1945, the climate has become very abnormal, the drought caused by the Xiaoice period has caused large-scale agricultural failures throughout Europe, and major food-producing regions, such as Ukraine, Romania and other Central and Eastern European countries, used to export agricultural products in exchange for foreign exchange to buy industrial products from Western Europe. But at this time, they did not want to talk about exporting food, and with the full support of the Soviet Union and the United States, they could only maintain a state of starvation.

As far as Western European countries are concerned, they are generally not self-sufficient in grain and must rely on imports, and in recent years, Central and Eastern Europe has basically no grain exports, so they can only go to South America to buy grain. But the problem is that the Soviet Union also purchased grain on a large scale in this region, which directly led to high food prices. As mentioned earlier, the economies of Western European countries, including France and the United Kingdom, have been hit hard, their gold and foreign exchange reserves are extremely low, and most of the market share in barter South America is the United States, which makes it difficult for Western European countries to obtain grain from the international market. It can almost be said that it is completely dependent on the support of the United States.

However, as I said before, the Americans are not living Lei Feng, and the relief he gives is conditional, and the Americans want to occupy the European market once and for all, especially the Western European market. Therefore, in the past few years, the conditions for their economic aid to Britain, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Italy have been quite harsh, and the United States will resolutely refuse to provide aid if the United States does not open its market.

In contrast, the United States has easier conditions for the rescue of Central and Eastern Europe. Of course, the reason for this is understandable. As far as the Americans are concerned, Western Europe is facing a direct threat from the Soviet Union, and without the protection of the United States, it is nothing and naturally they are not worried that Western Europe will turn against the water and turn to the Soviet Union, so they naturally have to be ruthless. And Central and Eastern Europe is the chassis of the Soviet Union, and if you want to pull Central and Eastern Europe to the United States, you naturally have to give more sweet dates.

So by the time the disaster reached the spring of 1948, the situation in Western Europe was already precarious. The French market has almost completely fallen because it is open to the United States, and the cheap American goods have made it impossible for French domestic goods to hold their heads up, and most of the French companies that have endured the devastation of World War II are not competitive. The purchasing power of the French is deteriorating day by day, and if this trend continues, it is only a matter of time before France goes bankrupt.

Life was not easy in France, and the British were miserable, when the British middle class could no longer eat bread and could only live on potatoes, and what was worse was that the climate was not ideal, and the production of potatoes was plummeting. Moreover, the Americans have long coveted the financial hegemony of the United Kingdom, and they are playing with their lives to short the pound. As the pound depreciates day by day, it further depresses the purchasing power of the British, and the vast majority of the British people are struggling to make ends meet.

This is even worse in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Belgium, which experienced four desperate winters in a row from 1945, when the average calorie intake of most residents was as low as 900 calories, and about 500,000 people (mostly elderly and children) died of hunger and malnutrition in four years.

And that's not even the worst of all, as the official food ration in Germany is only 800 calories a day for a person. Italy is about the same, while Yugoslavia even has only 500 calories.

Because of the serious existential crisis, the whole of Western Europe is in turmoil, the discontent of the people is accumulating, and all that is needed is a spark. Western Europe is miserable, and Eastern Europe is not necessarily much better, after all, the capabilities of the Soviet Union are also limited, and although the Americans also helped, it was impossible to open up supplies. Let's put it this way, the per capita daily calorie intake in Eastern Europe is only 200 higher than that of Germany and the Netherlands, and the per capita calorie level is about 1,000 calories.

And this level is almost only two-thirds or one-half of the pre-war level in Eastern Europe, in fact, it is just starvation. If you think about it, you've been half-fed every day for three years in a row, and you may have no house to live in (destroyed), no clean drinking water (the pipes have blown up), an epidemic of infectious diseases, and even more work. Who can stand such a state?

To make matters worse, World War II did not fundamentally solve the national problem in Central and Eastern Europe, and even with the victory of the war, this problem became even more prominent. Beginning in 1941, the Nazis expelled some 750,000 peasants from western Poland eastward, offering vacated land to German citizens. Similar situations continue to play out in Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, Hungary and other places. With the victory of the war, the situation was completely reversed, and these "Germanic peoples" were once again driven away, along with the Germanic peoples who had lived in the area for generations.

Most of these Germanic people were driven back to Germany and Austria, and it was not only the Germanic people who were driven out of Central and Eastern Europe, but also about 100,000 Croats, who were in Ante. After the fall of Pavalik's wartime fascist regime, he fled with the Germans in order to escape the reprisals of Tito's partisans (the wretched creatures turned out to be miserable, as the Anglo-American troops stationed in Austria repatriated them to Yugoslavia, where about 40,000 of them were executed).

In Germany and Austria, it is not only the above-mentioned races that need to be repatriated, but also many non-Germans who have fought with the Wehrmacht along with the Allied forces, including the captured renegade of the Red Army, the Western Ukrainian Great Tease, Andrei. anti-Soviet soldiers under the command of General Vlasov; Norwegian SA volunteers, Dutch, Belgian, French; Liberally recruited from Latvia, Ukraine, Croatia, two devils, concentration camp guards, etc.

In addition, there were millions of laborers who had been coerced and forcibly recruited by the Nazis, who came to work in factories and farms in Germany all over Europe. All this has brought about a large number of ethnic problems that need to be resolved. In the past, whether it was the Soviet Union or the United States, or the United Kingdom and France, the officials responsible for solving these problems were too arbitrary and sloppy to tell the truth, and they almost solved the problem in a one-size-fits-all way.

For example, on May 19, 1945, the President of Czechoslovakia, Eduard Edward. Benes decreed: "We have decided to settle the Germanic question once and for all in the Republic." "The method was simple: the property of the Germanic people (as well as the Hungarians and other traitors) would be nationalized in its entirety (including land and other immovable property), and the Czechoslovak citizenship of these people would be revoked. This resulted in the expulsion of three million Germanic people over the course of a year and a half, and about 300,000 people died in the process of deportation. As a direct result of this, the Germanic population of Bohemia and Moravia decreased from 29% to 1%.

Not only Czechoslovakia did this, but Hungary also expelled more than 600,000 Germans, Romania 800,000, Yugoslavia 500,000, and Poland 1.3 million.

These forced expulsions are certainly not peaceful means, and bloodshed will inevitably erupt, and with them will naturally be accompanied by more hatred. As this type of expulsion became more common and frequent, the Germanic people began to take it anymore. They had been taught racist by the Führer before, believing that they were naturally superior. So when they went to their homes and relatives, this emotion exploded even more violently.

Especially in areas inhabited by Germanic peoples, such as western Poland, violent clashes were frequent, and even the Germanic people engaged in guerrilla warfare with weapons, and their behavior was quickly learned by the non-Germanic peoples. They feel that the reason why life is difficult and precarious is because of the damn rationing system, and who brought them the rationing system? The spearhead was directed at the Soviet Union.

From November 1947 onwards, anti-Soviet sentiment began to rise throughout Central and Eastern Europe, and most of the ordinary people who were dissatisfied with their lives did not care how much aid the Soviet Union had given, they only knew that life was not as good as it was during the war. They think that if they want to change their state of existence, they can only stand up and revolutionize!

Poland was the first to ignite the flames, and the area around Poznan was the hardest-hit area. The Germanic and precarious Poles took to the streets to take to the streets. protested and demanded that the authorities immediately resolve their practical difficulties.

At first, the wave was not violent, and these people were just trying to ask for an explanation or some benefits. But the Polish government at this time could almost entirely be described as a group of poor copycats of the Soviet model. They did not agree to the demands of the common people, but forcefully demanded that the masses immediately disband and get out. Undoubtedly, this offended the anger of the people, and the angry people rushed up and beat the police, and then flooded into the town hall, beating everyone who looked like an official or a Communist. The mayor of Poznan was blocked by the angry crowd, and after a round of beatings, the goods were beaten to death!

This was a big deal, but at first the PKR leadership did not pay attention to it, thinking that it was just a small workers' strike. Only the chairman of the Central Council of the trade unions, Kłosievic, was sent to Poznan to deal with the incident. But on Kłosievic's way to Poznan, things had already taken a turn for the worse.

Hearing the news, hundreds of thousands of people in Poznan also rushed to the occupied town hall to show solidarity with the workers and Germans of the "riot", and the violence spread further, the police were arrested and disarmed, and even some of the military and police switched camps to stand on the side of the "riot" masses, and the order of the whole Poznan was completely overturned!

This sentiment was amplified by the self-righteous Kłosiewicz, a fool who not only refused all the demands of the masses, but threatened them with the threat of sending troops to "hang" them all, so that the furious Poznań almost seized Kłosievic and hanged him on a telephone pole.

Fortunately, although Kłosievich was stupid, the level of oil on the soles of his feet was not low, and he fled under the cover of the guards when there was disagreement among the masses.

After escaping, Kłosiewicz did not dare to contact the Central Committee of the Polish Communist Party immediately, reflecting that the situation in Poznan was very serious and that it was time to take coercive measures. Of course, everyone understands what the so-called coercive measures are.

However, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Poland still did not realize the seriousness of the matter, and the opinions of the two factions within the party were completely different, and neither one who advocated tough repression nor those who advocated a peaceful settlement could convince anyone, so in the end it could only send Interior Minister Borjevic over to continue communication with the Poznan masses.

It has to be said that the Minister of the Interior is also a miracle, at the beginning at the negotiating table, he accepted the demands of the Poznan masses and promised that they would soon be fulfilled. But as soon as Boltevich left the Poznan negotiations, he broke his promise, saying to the Poznan crowd in an ordered tone: "The situation is not so bad, everyone hurry up and go to work!" Otherwise, I will have to use the law to solve the problem! ”

The masses, feeling fooled, spontaneously took to the streets again the next morning. From Dzerzhinsky Prospekt to the center of Poznan. Swim. Walkers held up signs saying "Bread and freedom" and shouted slogans such as "Go back, the Russians", "Release the prisoners" and "Down with the secret police", and more people and workers from the railway repair yards joined the tour along the way. Row of troops.

Swim. The procession towards Lenin Square had already gathered about 100,000 people. Swim. The delegates sent by the party met with the chairman of the Municipal People's Congress, Fronzkowiak, but did not meet the first secretary of the provincial party committee, Stasak. The workers generally demanded that Prime Minister Silenkewicz come to Poznan to solve the problem.

The stalemate between the two sides makes the tour. Rumors abound within the line. News circulated in the procession that the workers' representatives had been arrested. Shouting slogans, the demonstrators rushed to the Mwinska Street Prison and occupied it at 11 a.m. Swim. The walkers disarmed the prison guards, seized weapons, and released 257 prisoners. At 11:30, the crowd poured into the city police station. Authorities used high-pressure water hoses to try to disperse the show. Mighty masses while showing. The Wei people returned fire with stones.

Gunshots rang out amid pushing and scolding between the crowd and the police, with some being shot and wounded, others killed. Before the baton-wielding cops figured out who fired the gun, the enraged swim. The crowd has begun to shoot back. The enraged crowd then rushed into the police station, where Borjevic and Kłosievic, who were hiding in the chaos, were beaten to death and the other hanged from a flagpole in front of the police station......
