Reborn as a police officer in South Africa
Chapter 2549 I really think everyone is a fool
When Joseph was young, he joined the Austro-Hungarian army to fight against Russia. He was injured and captured. He was influenced by Russian ideas in a prisoner of war camp, and then joined Red Russia and fought against White Russia. According to medical judgment, this experience was a definite Stockholm Syndrome patient.
In reality, Joseph also actively moved closer to Russia. When the people's guerrillas were in the most difficult times, they immediately turned to Russia for help.
But at that time, Russia was also in the most difficult period of the Russo-German War. It was unable to protect itself and was unable to provide more help to Joseph, so Joseph was forced to embark on the path of self-reliance.
What does this story illustrate?
It is better to rely on yourself than to rely on anyone!
Although Joseph's relationship with Russia is very close now, this relationship is not monolithic, otherwise Randolph would not have a chance to appear here.
Speaking of Randolph, we have to start with the Yugoslav government-in-exile established in London.
In 1943, the People's Committee led by Joseph decided to establish a provisional government and deprive the London government-in-exile of the powers it had as the Yugoslav government. This embarrassed the government-in-exile.
Why did Britain host the provisional governments of so many countries?
The purpose was to continue to maintain Britain's influence around the world after the war.
The current situation is completely beyond the expectations of the British government.
Countries closer to Russia, such as Poland, Romania, Austria and other Eastern and Northern European countries, have now become Russia's sphere of influence, and the UK cannot intervene.
From the Casablanca Conference to the St. Petersburg Conference, the British have been trying to solve this problem, but because of the stubbornness of the bearded man, the British have never been able to do so.
As time went by, the Germans were retreating steadily on the battlefield, and the Russians occupied more and more land. Britain gradually realized that the governments-in-exile in London seemed to be playing an increasingly smaller role and were useless.
If those governments-in-exile cannot regain their rights after the war is over, then what use are they?
At the St. Petersburg Conference, the Bearded Man clearly refused to return Poland to the government-in-exile in London, which sounded the alarm for the British.
To avoid ending up with nothing after the war, the British government began to change its approach.
The British government was very tough in the past. When de Gaulle established the Free France in North Africa, Britain resisted pressure from southern Africa and refused to recognize it for more than two years.
France has been Britain's close ally since the Franco-Prussian War. Britain can be so tough. If it were Yugoslavia, it can be said that 45 years ago, Britain would not even consider compromise.
There is no point in not compromising now.
Therefore, after the People's Committee established the provisional government, the British government tried to change the predicament. In order to show goodwill, Winston even forced the Yugoslav government-in-exile to dissolve the cabinet and invited back the representative of the bourgeois moderate Ivan Shubasic from the United States.
Let him form a cabinet and start negotiations with the interim government.
In October last year, under the mediation of the British government, the Yugoslav interim government and the exile government held the first round of negotiations in Italy. The two parties reached an agreement. The exile government led by Shubasic recognized the status of the Yugoslav interim government and expressed its willingness to undertake domestic support.
The obligations of the army and people, and the exile government promised to mobilize all Yugoslav patriotic forces abroad to participate in support of the war.
The interim government stated that it was willing to cooperate with the Shubasic government, but at the same time stated that it would not discuss the issue of Yugoslavia's national government until the end of the war.
Winston was not satisfied with this agreement, because this agreement did not confirm the power of the royal family. If the provisional government turns its back after the war, the government-in-exile will be worthless.
This is why Randolph went to Yugoslavia. The British government hoped that Joseph would have a clearer statement on the status of the royal family after the war.
"The Yugoslavs are very cunning. When it comes to aid, they speak loudly. When it comes to obligations, they don't make any promises. Shubasic's ability is limited and he cannot fight for more benefits for us." Randolph said about Shubasic.
, seemed unaware that he had not obtained better conditions for the British Empire.
"We failed to provide any help when the Yugoslavs needed it most, and now time is not on our side." Arthur also did not expect that Yugoslavia would have a fierce man like Joseph.
Georges Pidour was brave enough. After France stopped resisting, he stayed in France and led the French resistance movement.
Compared with Joseph, George Pidour pales in comparison, because George Pidour never dared to appear in public and only dared to carry out underground resistance movements, with limited achievements.
Joseph openly raised the banner of resistance against Germany and led the People's Guerrillas to fight the Germans head-on. With almost no external support, the fight became stronger and stronger. Before the Allies invaded Yugoslavia, the People's Guerrillas led by Joseph
It has grown to 800,000 people.
These 800,000 people are not the kind of servant army with undisciplined and low combat effectiveness, but heroic warriors who have experienced several years of bloody battles and experienced hundreds of battles.
Therefore, Joseph now has the confidence to raise conditions. Even without the help of Britain and southern Africa, Joseph is confident that he will drive the invaders out of Yugoslavia.
After the outbreak of World War II, Germany invaded so many countries, but there was only one person like Joseph.
"The key is the Russians. Without Russia's assistance, we can definitely win Joseph over." Randolph had been fighting with Joseph for so long, but still couldn't find the right way.
Even without Russia's help, Joseph would not have completely surrendered to the British Empire.
The war is not over yet, and the conditions proposed by the government-in-exile are extremely attractive, so the interim government will reach an agreement with the government-in-exile.
After the war is over, the provisional government no longer poses the biggest threat, and Joseph will not have any form of contact with the government-in-exile. As for the benefits provided by the British -
No one will refuse benefits, and no one will want them if they are given to them for free.
But if Winston thinks that he can win over Joseph by giving him a small profit, that is also wishful thinking.
An independent thinking person like Joseph will not surrender to anyone.
So Arthur had no intention of winning over Joseph completely.
It is not impossible to strive for it. Give Yugoslavia enough benefits to ensure that every Yugoslav can live the same life as a southern African. I believe Joseph will definitely join the southern African camp.
The key is whether the effort and reward are directly proportional.
After understanding Joseph's thinking, Arthur's purpose was adjusted to just ensure that Joseph did not completely fall to Russia.
In this kind of thing, it is impossible to determine the winner in a short time. Just take your time. Russia is now starting to engage in foreign aid, which will determine how long Russia can last.
"Let's get in touch first. At least there are no Americans here." Arthur was optimistic. It would be great fun if the Americans would also join in.
"You don't want to be an American. If you want to intervene, you have to have the ability -" Randolph seemed not to understand the current international situation that Britain was facing.
That’s right, I’m always optimistic when the sand of the times doesn’t hit me on the head.
Arthur was not in a hurry, and did not start contacting Joseph until the second day after arriving in Legion City.
Legion City is not big, with a population of just over 10,000, but it occupies a large area. It surrounds Legion Bay and covers an area of about 20 to 30 square kilometers. It is similar to most southern African cities. Almost every household has a front lawn and a garden behind.
The big house makes you feel comfortable just looking at it.
By European standards, Legion City can be called a seaside garden city, perfect for entertaining friends.
Arthur was also well prepared. He started to contact Joseph after a day of rest. According to traditional custom, a welcome dinner was prepared for Joseph and Milovich at the mayor's residence in Velarde the next night.
Joseph and Milovich readily accepted the appointment.
The 53-year-old Joseph, whose father is Croatian and mother is Slovenian, was born in a peasant family in the Kingdom of Croatia-Slavonia. He is not tall, but strong and powerful, especially as sharp as a pair of eagles.
The eyes are impressive.
Milovic has a standard Slavic beard, a bald head, wears glasses, likes to smoke a pipe, and looks at people with a fixed stare, which is not very polite.
Arthur didn't care.
Although Southern Africa and Russia are allies, in fact both sides know very well that the current cooperation is just a helpless choice based on war conditions. After the war is over, it will be a blessing not to start three wars immediately.
Joseph had the ability to cater to the two major forces, and his attitude was impeccable. When shaking hands with Arthur, he warmly expressed his gratitude for the aid in southern Africa and asked about Roark's health.
In the agreement reached between the interim government and the government-in-exile, in addition to providing more material and financial assistance to the interim government, the Allied Forces also had to open some resources to the people's guerrillas, including accepting wounded people from the people's guerrillas.
Receive treatment in an Allied hospital.
The medical level of the Allied forces is undoubtedly the highest in Southern Africa, so the task of taking over the injured people's guerrillas is mostly handled by Southern African hospitals. Joseph specifically expressed his gratitude to Arthur for this.
Arthur doesn't take credit and is more enthusiastic than Joseph. At least this is a good start.
"We are allies, and this is what we should do. From 1941 to now, the People's Guerrillas have fought hard and arduously against the German invaders. You deserve to be respected." Arthur was not entirely polite. He was replaced by Joseph.
, Arthur thought he couldn't do it.
Not necessarily, people always have to push hard to unleash their full potential.
Arthur is backed by the federal government of Southern Africa and has never been in Joseph's situation, so he doesn't know how much potential he has.
"Thank you for your understanding. Not everyone can understand how much we have paid to fight against the invaders -" Joseph's words did not kill many birds with one stone. Anyway, Randolph's expression was a bit ugly.
When Germany invaded Yugoslavia, Russia was unable to protect itself and was unable to provide much support to Yugoslavia. Southern Africa was different from the British side.
Not to mention, the Ottoman Republic has been under the control of the League of Nations troops since the end of the last world war. After the outbreak of World War II, the German army was very restrained in the areas controlled by the League of Nations troops and has not launched large-scale attacks.
In other words, Southern Africa and Britain at that time were capable of providing help to Yugoslavia.
"Don't be disappointed Joseph, war is a whole, we can't just think about ourselves, all battles are to serve the whole." Randolph is not weak either, he will fight back when it is time to fight back.
In 1941, the North African campaign also entered a critical period. The British army and Rommel were engaged in a cruel tug-of-war. The Suez Canal was once under the threat of the German army. In order to divert the disaster to the north, the British were forced to give up even Greece. Who was Yugoslavia?
.
To say the least, no one could believe at that time that Yugoslavia still had the ability to resist under such circumstances. If Britain had invested all its bets on Joseph, then Winston would no longer be Winston.
"Yes, that's right, all parts serve the whole, so you are standing still on the Eastern Front, hiding in the trenches and happily eating turkey, and watching us gradually consume the German troops -" Milovich was not polite,
Why are you, a little kid, pretending to be a big-tailed wolf here?
Randolph was in his thirties, and he was indeed a child among a group of old men in their fifties and sixties.
If you look at it this way, Arthur is actually not that big.
But who gives Arthur a deep background?
At least he has a deeper background than Randolph.
Arthur doesn't blame Milovic for being weird.
Because every Russian has the right to be angry.
The private contact between the Russians and the Germans after the outbreak of World War II, although not authentic from the perspective of the allies, was definitely in Russia's interests.
If it were not for the British appeasement policy, Mustache's ambitions would not have expanded to the extent they did later.
Starting from Poland, the sinister intentions of Britain and France are known to everyone, and Russia has reason to be angry.
There is no need to emphasize the character of the Russians here. It is useless to emphasize it, because Russians never reflect on themselves.
"War is not a child's play. Every plan must be as detailed as possible. Since last winter, we have been planning a new attack. Throughout the winter, we have been preparing." Arthur had to speak. Milovic not only blamed the British
, Southern Africa is also within Milovic's attack range.
When it comes to responsibility, Southern Africa is not a small one.
It is said that the United Kingdom and France have a great responsibility, and the responsibility of Southern Africa is not small at all compared to the United Kingdom and France.
Because Southern Africa is so powerful now, Milovic does not dare to go too far, otherwise he may fall out directly.
After all, Russia still needs assistance from southern Africa.
Here it depends on who has more confidence.
The Russians dare to fall out, but does Randolph dare?
I dare not give Randolph the courage, otherwise the British government would not have forced the Yugoslav government-in-exile to dissolve the cabinet.
This is where Britain's dilemma lies.
We have already reached this point, and we are still trying to play a balance game. I really think everyone is a fool.
