Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 382: ****** Hometown (Part 1)

Actually, when I was allowed to enter Serbia at the beginning, I refused, because I can’t say that you let me in and I will enter immediately. The first time I have to investigate, because I don’t want to enter Serbia and add some false propaganda. Like Yugoslavia [duang], it became stable at once, so everyone would think it was fake. There is no such country.

Later, I also confirmed that they were serious. We investigated for about a month and felt pretty good. So when we actually entered there later, Goebbels did not make any special publicity. , Our soldiers took a lot of photos? ---- Excerpt from the British Broadcasting Corporation (bbc) on February 19, 1941, the head of the Empire Reinhard von Stein German interview.

In fact, things are not as simple as Xu Jun said, but one thing is true. He was really very, very resistant to intervening in Yugoslavia affairs at first.

The Yugoslavia region was the worst, most chaotic, and most disgusting theater in the entire World War II history in time and space, so that later generations of World War II war history and even the battle atlas excluded him from the European battlefield. outer.

In addition to the fact that all the local forces played less glorious roles in World War II, but also because during most of the war, the various ethnic groups in Yugoslavia were not resisting German aggression, but full of expressions. Enthusiasm fought a civil war with each other.

The history of World War II in Yugoslavia is full of conspiracy, betrayal, betrayal, enslavement and oppression, as well as **** massacres everywhere. Looking at the entire Balkans, there is no country more chaotic than him.

This is a big dungpit. Xu Jun once bluntly said to the generals of the command that he would rather move his troops to the Arctic Circle, and would not let his soldiers approach this evil land.

Maybe most Chinese people don’t know how scumbag this country is, because they belonged to the same camp back then. Of course, I am embarrassed to expose the trump card of this friendly ally.

Hitler hated Yugoslavia extremely, because he also belonged to a "shameless Versailles country." The Treaty of Versailles ceded part of the territory of the Austro-Hungarian Empire to Serbia. On the basis of these newly added territories, the [Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenias] was established. Simple and clear, the main body of this country can be seen from the name. The nation is formed.

But if you think that putting the names together, all nations will live in harmony, then you are too naive.

The newly born [Serbian, Croatian, and Slovenian Kingdom] (the Yugoslavian at the time must have collapsed when filling in the nationality column) in the early stage planted the hidden danger of civil strife, and the problem still lies with the Serbs In fact, this ethnic group with an illiteracy rate of as high as 80% occupied the dominant position in the political arena of this country. At the same time, most of the high-level positions in the military, police, and legal system were also in the hands of the Serbs.

Serbian nationalists also divided the various ethnic groups in the country into three levels. The Serbs who originally lived on Serbian soil belonged to the first class, and the Macedonians and Montenegrin people were regarded as the second class because of their language and blood relationship. Other Serbs, while Croatian and Bosnian are regarded as the third class, belonging to "Serbs waiting to be assimilated."

Albanians, Austrians, Hungarian Magyars and Romanians who live in this territory at the same time have been suppressed and persecuted to varying degrees due to their inability to assimilate. Many people have been forced to flee the country, although they will All his property was confiscated by the government, but his life was finally saved.

Under such a bad social environment, how could the antagonism among nations not arise.

Serbian bureaucrats’ political naive thoughts promoted nationalist activities in the country, which eventually triggered World War I. Instead of being punished, Serbia survived the catastrophe, on the contrary, it got rich oil and water. Why don't these short-sighted national fanatics just know their tastes?

Throughout the 1920s, Serbian politicians spared no effort to incite nationalist sentiments, and at this time the ideas in their minds were even more arrogant. They tried to build a large Serbia equivalent to a quarter of Europe, claiming All places where Serbs live should be included in this country. This sounded like a fantasy plan, but it has won a lot of market among the Serbs.

The relationship between Germany and this country, if historically speaking, is quite complicated, but in recent times the relationship between the two countries is still quite harmonious. As early as the Weimar Republic, Germany and the Kingdom of Yugoslavia signed a series of trade contracts.

At that time [Serbian, Croat and Slovenian Kingdoms] had been renamed the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, ostensibly because the then King Alexander I expressed concern about ethnic opposition in the country. In order to avoid ethnic divisions, the latest decrees were issued. Deliberately remove the names of all ethnic groups in the nation to show that all ethnic groups are treated equally. In fact, the government still has new wine in old bottles and the old shirt under the gorgeous coat. In this royal-led national reform, apart from the concentration of royal power, other issues have not received any positive changes.

Yugoslavia was hit hard by the world financial crisis. They finally tasted the bitter wine they brewed, because in the past ten years, they have offended all the surrounding countries and nations.

In the end, it was Alexander I personally who relied on Alexander I to persuade countries to restore some of the influence, and Yugoslavia was finally able to escape a catastrophe.

It was during this time that the Nazi government and Yugoslavia established close ties. Germany relied on a set of trade programs designed specifically for Yugoslavia, and won the unanimous favor of the other side. Transactions accounted for half of Yugoslavia’s total import and export trade.

However, when they were relieved, the Serbs began to make strange things again. Domestic nationalism rose again. At the same time, the elites in the government once again followed the tradition and fell into the embrace of Britain and France. The attitude really made Hitler very angry.

The Serbs think they have sufficient reasons to choose this way, not only because of the support and push of Britain and France behind the establishment of the country, but also because of the alliance between Germany and Italy, which made them lack sufficient trust in the steel alliance.

Italy Mussolini has been fighting against Croatian regionalism. In his opinion, this land should be ruled by the Romans by nature.

The Italian government has been secretly supporting Croatian nationalists for many years, and it has also been trying to incite the Croats to stand up against the Serbian rule. The ultimate goal is to separate Croatia from Yugoslavia, so that Italy can have reason to intervene. Annex this territory.

Yugoslavia regards Italy as the most insidious enemy, but there is nothing to do with that big chin. The domestic situation in Yugoslavia has reached a very dangerous edge. If it is not improved, civil unrest will break out sooner or later.

Because of the long-term oppression of the Serbs, Croatian ultra-nationalism has spread rapidly among the Croats. At this moment, a considerable force has been accumulated, while the Serbian government is in weakness due to perennial internal consumption. They can no longer use administrative means to suppress each other's demands.

It’s even more unrealistic to use force to suppress. It’s not that the Serbs dared not fight a civil war. You have to know that if this group of people go crazy, they will even kill them. It’s just that although most of the officers are Serbs, they are regarded as More than half of the soldiers serving as cannon fodder are Croats, which is equivalent to cutting off the opponent's spear with the opponent's sword. This is obviously an unreliable plan.

Yugoslavia once wanted to get political help from Britain and France, but some of the previous ethnic persecution cases have caused the international community, and the Serbs’ ethnic policies have become notorious. How could Britain and France give it public on this sensitive issue? support.

After Germany annexed the Czech Republic, Yugoslavia was completely dumbfounded.

At this time, Alexander I had already died in a botched assassination five years ago. At that time, he was on a state visit to France. At the same time, he was killed and accompanied by the French Minister of Foreign Affairs~IndoMTL.com~It is believed to be manipulated behind the scenes. The black hand in the whole incident was the Italians. They were murderers recruited from a Bulgarian ethnic extremist organization. The political aspiration of this organization was to support Macedonian independence. The chaos and evil of Yugoslavia's domestic problems at that time can be seen here.

The monarch of Yugoslavia is Peter II. He was only eleven years old when he took the throne. It is impossible for him to shoulder the affairs of the state. Therefore, Prince Paul, the younger brother of Alexander I, has the full power to reign until September 2011. Only after he reached the age of eighteen did he abdicate and let Xian return to state affairs.

Germany has merged with Austria at this time and officially borders Yugoslavia on the territory. Hitler has made no secret of showing an attempt to intervene in Yugoslavia's internal affairs. This aspect was obviously affected by the big chin. Hitler also had a keen interest in provoking the independence of the Croatians. In his opinion, if this nail that Britain and France entered into the Balkans was dismembered, the safety of Germany on the European flank could be guaranteed.

Hitler's performance made Prince Paul deeply uneasy. Seeing that the situation was not good, the Prince quickly put down his position and began to negotiate with the Croatian forces in the country. On this issue, he made a pretty good decision. In the end, the Serbs gave up part of their power and demarcated a large area. They agreed to the Croats' autonomy under the framework of the country. At the same time, they established a coalition government. The ethnic conflicts in Yugoslavia seemed to have been partially alleviated.

What the Yugoslav ladies never expected was that the Anglo-French alliance, which seemed to them extremely powerful, would be defeated.

Yugoslavia completely lost its backstage, so the question that they would not have considered at all was once again placed in front of Prince Paul and the officials of the United Cabinet, whether the Kingdom of Yugoslavia would join Germany.
