Tito is not a soft persimmon. Look at the rise of this route, it is easy to go from an ordinary prisoner of war to a head of state? There is no worries or means to sit in that position.

Back then, this guy took advantage of the support of the Soviet Union and the Communist International to strongly clean up the domestic factions of the Southern Communist Party and turned a loose South Communist Party into a powerful combat machine led by him. Speaking of which, this guy's level in this regard is not lower than that of Taizu.

After Yugoslavia's liberation, this person was also quite courageous on the international political stage. He said he would turn against the Soviet Union. Please note that the boss of the Soviet Union was S. Dalin, who disgusted S. Dalin, who was still able to lively in the communist camp, could be lower.

Look at the series of methods Tito used to resist the Soviet interference with the British and American forces. Not only did he receive British and American aid (more than 100 million US dollars) but he did not offend the Soviet Union to death in the end, but he restored his relations with the Soviet Union.

Can Sverdlov really control him with such a super-strong wrist? So how is Sverdlov planning to deal with the Yugoslavia issue now? According to Xiao S's idea, Yugoslavia is an unstable factor in Southern Europe, otherwise Tito can be so awesome? The best way to calm Yugoslavia is to break up the Yugoslavia Federation. When Yugoslavia has become a series of small countries, can it still challenge the Soviet Union?

So the next key question is, does Yugoslavia have a foundation for division? This is true. If this part of history was not guarded by the Holy Roman Empire and its direct descendants, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, it would have been a big platter that was divided. In fact, during the rule of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the tendency of ethnic separation in this part was very obvious.

Of course, we must talk about history at this time. From the perspective of the education Li Xiaofeng received back then, the Celestial Empire believed that the Austro-Hungarian Empire was evil, and those national separatists deserved sympathy. This is very consistent with the anti-colonial and anti-imperialist tone that the Celestial Empire has always insisted on. However, to be honest, the Austro-Hungarian Empire was probably not that evil back then, such as the well-known warfare that the Sousanarjevo assassination occurred. According to the Celestial Empire, this was the provocation of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and the dead Grand Duke Ferdinand was an absolute war dealer.

But is this true? In fact, if you look closely, you will know that this Grand Duke Ferdinand was not a hawk in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. On the contrary, this person has always been the best. He has always suppressed the anti-Serbian forces within the Austro-Hungarian Empire and advocated a peaceful solution to the problem.

Of course, this is not to defend the Grand Duke Ferdinand. His **** is also a relative ****. The fundamental reason why he does not advocate solving problems with force is that he advocates that the Serbs, Slovenians, and Croats who are included in the empire's territory with cultural evolution and other policies of polity, become obedient people of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. And he did a pretty good job in this regard!

Why do you say so? Because it was his approach that was quite successful, which made Serbia, which had just killed the previous king and queen, feel a great threat. The previous chapters have said that before and after World War I, Serbia was in a high national mood, strongly opposed the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and was preparing to rescue Serb compatriots from Slovenia, Croatia and other places. The Russians behind this continued to operate behind their backs, resulting in unprecedented tension between Serbia and the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

So don't think Serbia is so innocent. They are not passively dealing with the Austro-Hungarian Empire's invasion. In fact, these guys are constantly looking for trouble with the Austro-Hungarian Empire with the support of Tsarist Russia.

Comrades, you can think about how embarrassing the situation of the Grand Duke Ferdinand was at that time. As mentioned earlier, he was a **** in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and did not advocate the use of force to have direct conflicts with Serbia, hoping to stabilize the territory with a policy of mercy. This inevitably led to him being attacked by hawks represented by the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and a group of idiots outside pointed the finger at this ****, saying that he was an invader.

Let me put it this way, after the Sarajevo incident, the tragedy only belonged to the Grand Duke Ferdinand and his wife, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Serbians were very happy about it, and they all thought it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Everyone knows what happened next. After World War I, the Austro-Hungarian Empire was divided and ethnic minorities were liberated. Liberal democratic factions such as Masarik led the independence and liberation of the country. It seemed that everything was so beautiful, but is this true?

Unfortunately, these are nonsense. After the disintegration of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the countries that split out, especially the Czechoslovakia, clearly felt that their living standards had declined a lot. These funny people even changed their minds and began to miss the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which was like a dragon. The only benefit of this is probably the so-called national liberators such as Masarik.

Therefore, no matter when and where, it is best not to listen to the leader’s words, as it is really a waste of life.

Back to the topic, in Central and Eastern Europe, especially in Yugoslavia, it can be said that the Yugoslavia platter was a gift from the Allies to the Serbs after World War I commended them, and they naturally assigned many territories that were not entirely Serbs to them. For example, Croatia, Montenegro, Bosnia, Herzegovina, and Macedonia. This piece is a multi-ethnic platter, that is, a Hitra was produced in World War II, which brought all the hatred of these nations firmly, which gave Tito a chance to perform.

Let’s look at how Tito did ethnic policy after he came to power? In today’s terms, it is to de-nationalize. One is to use class struggle to replace internal conflicts between nations, and the other is to use Yugoslav nation to replace the Serbs, Croatians, and Albanians. To put it bluntly, this is a process of great unification, and why did Tito do this? It’s just that this ghost place and the conflict are too intense and too long. If you don’t do this, you can’t form a whole.

Later we also saw that once Tito died, there was a problem within Yugoslavia. After only ten years, the alliance was completely divided, which led to the demise of Yugoslavia created by Tito.

Objectively speaking, Sverdlov is really possible to split Yugoslavia, and he also made a start and stripped Slovenia out. Next, just do the same and peel off a few more centrifugal nations.

So, are there such a nation? Yes, Albanians. Some comrades may wonder what race is Albanians? In fact, Albanians are Albanians. To put it bluntly, they are Albanians who believe in the ysl religion in Yugoslavia. We all know that after the fall of Constantinople in 1453, this area was once the Ottoman Turkey. With the rule of Turkey, the number of ******* in the Balkans was quite large. In Yugoslavia, the largest **** settlement in Kosovo.

Why are there many Albanians in Kosovo? The reason is very simple, and it has to do with the terrain. Kosovo is a rare plain terrain in Yugoslavia. It is surrounded by mountains. When Turkey came here, it was difficult to attack westward. It relied on the cover of the mountains to withstand Turkey's fierce attack. Therefore, most Albanians in this plain area. Let's put it this way, Kosovo is the gateway to the Christian world against the **********.

Later, Kosovo became part of Serbia, and the two natural enemies of Albania and Serb had to live together. Naturally, the contradiction was quite large. We all know that the Albania demanded independence later, which gave NATO the excuse to break up the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. But what many comrades don’t know is that Kosovo is not just asking for independence. In fact, Kosovo’s real requirement is to be independent from the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and Serbia and then merge with Albania.

Why? Because Albania is also a country with **** as the main body, and Kosovo believes that it is also an Albanian nation!

In this way, the Serbs were not very friendly to ****, and both sides often beat the house for the little things. Naturally, the Kosovo people did not have much identification with Serbia or the Great Yugoslavia dominated by Tito. Tito could suppress it when he was alive, and it was naturally a flood that would be flooded when he died.

Sverdlov, who had studied Yugoslavia's history and **********, quickly found this attack point, but he did not take action immediately. The politicians also wanted to talk about some behaviors. After Slovenia had just finished making trouble in Kosovo, this face was really bad. Although Xiao S wanted to let the communist camps see the tragic end of challenging him, the methods were too fierce and would scare the flowers and plants.

So, Sverdlov was about to slow down first, let Tito go through some channels, and scare that guy. If he still didn't give in and bow his head, it wouldn't be too late to operate Kosovo.

But what Sverdlov didn't expect was that Tito was not a good person. He did not think that he had to bow to the Soviet Union, but instead believed that he had the power to fight. Almost just when Sverdlov was looking at the wind, he suddenly announced: "Yuldrov will accept the economic aid provided by Britain and the United States. The Yugoslavian government and people are also grateful from the bottom of their hearts for Britain and the United States to help in this difficult time!"

It seemed that Tito was just talking about the matter, but this actually swept away the Soviet Union or Sverdlov's face. After the Nazi surrendered, Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union could not go to the same place on the issue of war reparations and reconstruction of Europe. Although Britain, the United States could not fundamentally change the reality that the Soviet Union occupied most of Europe, it did not prevent them from using their soft power to win over the Soviet brothers.

For Britain and the United States, if you have a high pressure control of Central and Eastern European countries, it depends on how long you can control it. Anyway, we will not be interested in the country like Central and Eastern Europe for the time being, just spend money to buy a favorable impression. Once you can't control the situation, the favorable impression I bought with money will come in handy.

Therefore, the Americans were particularly enthusiastic and enthusiastic about the Soviets' younger brothers on the issue of post-war reconstruction. They were eager to stuff the money into their pockets, just because they were afraid that these guys would not dare to ask for it. To be honest, this was a disguised provocation, which was almost equivalent to greeting the Soviet Union directly. The Soviet Union definitely did not have that much money to win people's hearts. If they ordered these younger brothers not to take American money as toughly as in history, the final result would be that they would be unfaithful and unhappy with both sides.

In fact, not to mention history, just now, Sverdlov thinks that the British and American approach is a serious provocation, and that he uses money to corrupt those newly born socialist brothers when force cannot threaten the Soviet Union's concessions. This is to openly slap him, the core of the Soviet leadership, in the face, which is absolutely unacceptable!

Anyway, Sverdlov was furious about this. Although the Political Bureau did not make any decision on this, Xiao Si believed that preventing his younger brothers from accepting American aid was a political attitude and that there was no way to make any mistakes.

Now Tito, a bastard, dared to be the first to openly accept the aid from Britain and the United States. Isn’t this clearly challenging him? This is a pure provocation, which is tolerated. So Sverdlov did not hesitate at all and began to firmly support the Kosovo Albanian right to national self-determination.

Of course, Sverdlov would not be foolish to announce that the Soviet Union supports the power naturally enjoyed by the Kosovo people, and supports them to gain independence and liberation. This is too naive and too low-level, and the result may not be ideal and cannot show his political means. Especially after a fairy showed super high skills on Silesia and Pomerania before, Sverdlov felt that he should not behave worse than someone.

So, Sverdlov was determined to play skills. What skills? First, he found Hoscha, the leader of the Albanian Communist Party. Didn’t he say that before, Albania is an Albanian nationality, and Kosovo is also an Albanian nationality, and the centripetal force of both sides is very strong. In other words, Tito performed too awesome, so Hoscha did not have the courage to provoke and cause trouble in Kosovo. Now the big brother of the Soviet Union has expressed his support for Kosovo’s independence and merger with Albania. What are you waiting for?

Hoscha soon contacted his fellow Kosovo and, with his secret support, became a Kosovo National Liberation Committee. After some operation, the committee officially announced to the world: "The Albanians in Kosovo have been oppressed and enslaved by the Serbs. In order to resist this inequality, we formally demand that Kosovo be self-governed!"

Of course, autonomy is just the first step. This is the inevitable line to play with this set of inevitable lines. First of all, you have to demand autonomy. After autonomy, you will find the right time to declare independence. After independence, you will naturally do whatever you want.

Of course, Tito is quite clear about this trick. Once he retreats to Kosovo's autonomy, the next step is the domino effect, and the entire Yugoslavia will collapse. The best and most practical way to stop this is to speak with your fists and directly kill the rude demands of the Kosovo Albanians in its infancy.

Therefore, after learning of the so-called Kosovo National Liberation Commission's autonomy requirements, Tito immediately sent his troops to Kosovo on the grounds of maintaining peace and fighting the separatist insurgents.

It should be said that this reaction was very timely and quickly, reflecting the qualities that a political strongman should have. However, there is a problem with this matter, because Sverdlov was also aware of Tito's every move, and Xiao Si wanted Tito to make some tricks in Kosovo.

Soon, the local Albanians in Kosovo clashed with Tito's troops. Think about it, the two families had disliked each other for hundreds of years, but now they met again for such a thing, and then they would be in a daze.

Generally speaking, such local regional conflicts are difficult to attract widespread attention after World War II, but whoever makes the conflicts represent not only themselves, Sverdlov is holding on to use his big moves to make things bigger and he can directly intervene. So soon the Kosovo incident occupied the front pages of several major Soviet newspapers for a long time.

With Sverdlov's suggestion, the bias of these newspapers is naturally self-evident. The Albanians became a lovely little pitiful little, while Tito became an unforgivable demon king.

According to Sverdlov's idea, the Soviet Union had already criticized public opinion, and Tito would be a little jealous of the mouse. But what Xiao Si didn't expect was that Tito was not afraid of such a verbal battle. Even this person was having a verbal battle with Xiao Si, and on the other hand, he was ruthless in dealing with the Albanian tribe. That was called killing decisively.

This round, Sverdlov was at a disadvantage, but Sir did not think he would lose. He just felt that Tito was too cold-blooded and had to find a way to deal with him well, otherwise things would be unimaginable.

Soon, Sverdlov began to provide military assistance to Albanian armed forces in Kosovo through Hoscha's relations, which was basically a routine for Albania to pay the weapons to the Soviet Union.

Some comrades may ask, why didn’t Sverdlov directly give Alizabeth aid? Anyway, the remaining materials in World War II are piled up like small hills, so it’s not for nothing if they don’t give them! In fact, Sverdlov also wanted to give them directly, or even directly send troops to interfere. But two reasons dispelled his idea: one is international public opinion. On the issue of Kosovo, although he mobilized some media to make a big splash, the response within the entire socialist camp was not positive, just because he was so shaved and had a head full of hot hair. The reason is also very simple. Who doesn’t want to be the leader? Who wants a mother-in-law to take care of himself, and what’s more, Yugoslavia’s issue also involves the issue of British and American aid. Naturally, Central and Eastern European countries cannot stand completely on the side of the Soviet Union. Everyone doesn’t speak out, just waiting to see who loses and who wins in the end, and then make up their minds.

This is the first reason, and the second reason is that Sverdlov did not fully gain domestic support. The team led by Li Xiaofeng believed that it should not interfere too much in Yugoslavia's internal affairs. Although this country is disgusting, it does not completely turn against the Soviet Union. Excessive use of strength will make Tito completely turn to Britain and the United States. What's more, Li Xiaofeng always felt that the little troubles in Yugoslavia was not important at all. Tito would let him do whatever he wanted to do. At worst, he would ignore him. Fan did not provoke such a lunatic. Even Lenin and Trotsky felt that Sverdlov's actions were not good, so he was a little relaxed.

These two reasons determine that Sverdlov has no way to directly interfere in the Kosovo issue, and even the Political Bureau has also denied the suggestion of providing arms to Kosovo Albanian armed forces. So much so that Sverdlov must circle around Albania to give Albanian aid in the name of economic aid to Albania in exchange for Albania's provision of weapons to Kosovo Albanians.

With such a circle around, Kosovo's Albanians naturally cannot gain advantage and can only deal with Tito's troops in guerrilla warfare. That is, the Albanians occupy the vast majority in Kosovo and have a mass base, so they can barely support them.

Li Xiaofeng also knew this result. It is normal for Albanians or **** to be not good at fighting. Anyway, they have performed in various battlefields since modern times. They have been beaten up several times in the Middle East wars, and even in internal strife (judging the performance of Saudi princes in Yemen, it fully proves how ridiculous weapons theory is). In fact, Albanians did not perform well in the later Kosovo War, otherwise they would not have to disturb the American father and NATO to interfere directly.

Anyway, when Li Xiaofeng first heard that Sverdlov was preparing to bet on the Albanians in Kosovo, he directly told Ruzutak and Gubishev: "Yakov chose a pig teammate. I'm afraid we will suffer a loss on the Yugoslavia issue."

Now, this prophecy has been basically confirmed. The Political Bureau feels that Li Xiaofeng's judgment and analysis ability is higher than that of Xiao Si, which makes Xiao Si angry, and makes Xiao Si impose the Political Bureau again, although it failed to pass the resolution of direct interference, it still agreed to give a batch of humanitarian aid supplies to the Kosovo Albanians. In fact, the main thing is arms.

Sverdlov is trying to make a comeback, while Li Xiaofeng is not as optimistic as Xiaosi. Because of the Yugoslavia problem, there is a trend of instability within the entire socialist camp of Central and Eastern Europe. The younger brothers who have just been subdued are all on the fence and preparing to make jokes, especially after Britain and the United States once again handed out an olive branch to the less determined Soviet brother that they could provide financial aid, the situation is even more complicated.

Li Xiaofeng felt that he had to go to these places. One was to stabilize people's hearts and the other was to warn him. Of course, the most important task of his trip was to find a way to solve the problems caused by the sugar-coated shell of British and American economic aid... (To be continued.)
