Time flies and seventy years have passed - it's strange.
In fact, only seven months passed, reaching the beginning of 1946.
In the past more than half a year, with the surrender of the chicken, it can be said that the world has been the most stable half year since World War II. The war that lasted for more than ten years has plunged all countries in the world into a period of exhaustion and urgent need for self-cultivation and recuperation.
.
But it was only stable for half a year.
As various countries have calmed down a bit, some parts of the world have begun to become restless again.
The struggle between the red and blue camps also began to gradually ignite.
However, it was not the only ancient civilization in the East that bore the brunt, but the Greek Civil War.
Since Greece has always been an important ally of Britain, in exchange for benefits just after World War II, Britain sold out the exile governments of Poland and Yugoslavia in exchange for Mao Xiong not intervening in Greece.
As a result, the Greek royal family and the government-in-exile were able to return to Greece under the escort of the British army and suppressed the red camp that had already taken control of the country.
But obviously, even without the intervention of Mao Xiong, the Greek red camp would not admit defeat so easily.
At first, because of the help of the British army, the red camp could not defeat the blue camp of Greece. But then something happened, which made Britain no longer able to deal with the situation in Greece, which was its most important colony. India was seeking independence.
Already.
As the largest resource supply colony in the country, India's independence would have a huge economic impact on Britain.
However, Britain itself is no longer able to maintain sufficient military power to continue to control India, so Britain has now agreed to India's independence after planning to finally make a profit from India.
Under this situation, the Greek red camp, which had been severely hit, saw an opportunity, so it tried to regain power and organized an army to start a civil war.
Under this situation, Josie could not continue to enjoy life leisurely at home and had to set foot on the European continent again.
Wait, what does the civil war in Greece have to do with Josie?
Well, it does matter.
Because the Greek Democratic Army did not start this civil war unprepared.
Mao Xiong was right to promise Britain not to interfere in Greece.
But this does not mean that other countries will not interfere.
This country is the Federation of Yugoslavia.
The Democratic Army of Greece only dared to start this war after receiving military assistance from the Yugoslav Federation, the little overlord of Eastern Europe.
But that's not the point.
The real point is that after Greece fell into civil war, it represented the only threat behind the Yugoslav Federation and was eliminated.
His only opponents were the Kingdom of Yugoslavia to the northwest and Austria, which stood behind the Kingdom of Yugoslavia.
Although a secret agreement was signed between Austria and Bear, Bear recognized the existence of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia and promised not to interfere with Austria's control of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia.
But the Iron Emperor of the Yugoslav Federation would not recognize the existence of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. He always wanted to destroy the Kingdom of Yugoslavia and complete the great unification.
Moreover, the secret agreement itself meant that it could not be made public, so although Mao Xiong promised not to interfere, he could not prevent the Yugoslav Federation from intervening.
What's more, even if Mao Xiong wants to stop the Yugoslav Federation, others may not listen - the Yugoslav Federation's name as the Little Overlord of Eastern Europe is not for nothing, and their army's combat effectiveness is not much weaker than Mao Xiong's.
Especially now that the relationship between the Yugoslav Federation and the Bear is still in the honeymoon period, the Yugoslav Federation’s military is almost exclusively armed with the Bear standard.
During World War II, when the German army and the Hydra Corps were strong, the Yugoslav Federation's army could get stronger and stronger without enough heavy weapons and equipment, not to mention the current equipment that is all made of woolly bears?
In addition, their leader, Emperor Tie, was a powerful figure who dared to openly challenge the bearded man.
Under this combination, Iron Emperor was full of courage.
So from the beginning of the Greek Civil War, the Yugoslav Federation's army began to repeatedly cause trouble in the border areas of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia.
If they hadn't been wary of the U.S. troops stationed in Austria, they would have been pushed northward long ago.
As for the Austrian army? The Iron Emperor really didn't take it seriously. When they were at their lowest, they were not afraid of the German army and the Hydra Legion at their peak. Now they are afraid of Austria, which only relies on the talents of the United States?
At least on the surface, in the eyes of other countries around the world, Austria is now a country that is lucky enough to be in the lap of the United States.
Therefore, due to the various actions of the Yugoslav Federation, the current Balkan region smells like the Balkan powder keg during World War I.
It was at this time that Josie arrived in Vienna by plane overnight, and rushed to the presidential palace without stopping, where he met President Karl Renner and many senior generals of the Austrian military.
In addition, there was a rather special person present.
That is the contemporary king of Yugoslavia, Peter II, a young monarch who is only twenty-three years old.
"Josie, you're finally here!" In the president's office, Carl Renner, who was still looking solemn at first, showed a relaxed look after seeing Josie's arrival. "I hope what you brought is good news."
However, compared to the last time we met, Carl Renner looks older now.
Obviously this 70-year-old man has spent too much effort on this country.
"It's neither good nor bad. The United States will not send troops directly, but it is willing to provide us with 300 million US dollars in financial assistance and a large amount of weapons and equipment. Of course, this is conditional, which is to defeat the Iron Emperor's military
After the intention, we have to help Greece!" Josie said, "But this is exactly what we need, isn't it?"
Although Qiao Xi and the Austrian government are actually not short of money, who would object to it now that they can get money and equipment?
Anyway, whether it is defeating the Yugoslav Federation or helping Greece, it is in Austria's interest.
"What do you mean?" Hearing Josie's words, Carl Renner showed a smile on his face, and Peter II's eyes sparkled even more.
"That's right, this time, I decided to officially use those new equipment to show off the arrogant Iron Emperor. At the same time, it's also time to show a little bit of our strength. We can't always let the outside world think that we are just lucky.
We have embraced the lap of the United States, otherwise over time, even Americans will feel that we are worthless!" Qiao Xi also smiled and nodded.
The new equipment that Qiao Xi mentioned was actually none other than some of the more basic weapons and equipment in the Red Alert world obtained through transactions with Yuri in the past two years.
For example, fa-mas automatic rifles, aat-52 general-purpose machine guns, amx-30 main battle tanks, sa330 puma medium-sized helicopters, sa341/342 gazelle armed helicopters, Mirage 3 second-generation jet fighters, etc.
Do you feel like these weapons have never appeared in Red Alert?
It's normal, because these equipments are backward products from the 1950s and 1960s, before the Red Alert War broke out.
There is nothing wrong with Qiao Xi wanting Austria to show its power, but he cannot show too much power, otherwise he will easily become the target of public criticism from the red and blue camps. After all, Austria's current economic situation is only a little stronger than that of other European countries.
Xiaoliwei.
Therefore, these equipments are early Cold War equipment that Qiao Xi requested, and Yuri provided the technology, and Austria's existing industrial capabilities can easily mass-produce them.
And these equipments also have a common feature.
That is, these equipments were originally the first generation of post-World War II weapons and equipment developed by France in the 1950s and 1960s.
That's right, Josie is persecuting the French again.
Alas, there is no other way. The sages have said: A gentleman takes revenge from morning to night.
Qiao Xi was just following the guidance of the sages.
