Chapter 142 Time to show a little strength

  Time flies, time flies.

   Time flies, and seventy years have passed—no wonder.

   In fact, only seven months have passed, and it has come to the beginning of 1946.

In the past half a year, with the surrender of the foot pot chicken, it can be said that since World War II, the world has been the most stable half a year. The war that lasted for more than ten years has caused all countries in the world to fall into a period of exhaustion and urgently need to recuperate. .

   However, it has only been stable for half a year.

  As various countries eased up a little bit, some parts of the world began to become agitated again.

  The struggle between the red and blue camps has also begun to gradually ignite.

  But the first to bear the brunt was not the only ancient civilization in the East, but the Greek Civil War.

  Since Greece has always been an important ally of Britain, at the end of World War II, as an exchange of interests, Britain sold out the governments-in-exile of Poland and Yugoslavia in exchange for Mao Xiong not to interfere with Greece.

  So the Greek royal family and the government-in-exile were able to return to Greece under the **** of the British army, suppressing the red camp that had already controlled the country.

   But obviously, even without Mao Xiong's interference, the red camp in Greece would not admit defeat so easily.

At the beginning, because of the help of the British army, the red camp could not beat the blue camp in Greece, but then something happened, which made Britain unable to deal with the situation in Greece, which was its most important colony, and India became independent up.

  As the largest resource supply colony in the country, India's independence will deal a huge blow to the British economy.

  But Britain itself is unable to maintain enough military power to continue to control India, so Britain has now agreed to India's independence after planning to finally make a fortune from India.

  Under such circumstances, the Greek red camp, which had been severely hit, saw an opportunity, so they tried to regain power, organized an army and started a civil war.

  In this case, Josie could not continue to enjoy life at home leisurely, 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 agreed to Britain, and it was right not to interfere with Greece.

  But it does not mean that other countries will not interfere.

   This country is the Federation of Yugoslavia.

  The Greek Democratic Army dared to start this war only 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 a civil war, it represented the only threat behind the Yugoslav Federation and was removed.

  His opponents are the Kingdom of Yugoslavia in the northwest and Austria standing behind the Kingdom of Yugoslavia.

  Although Austria and Mao Xiong signed a secret agreement, Mao Xiong 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 means that it cannot be made public, so although Mao Xiong promised not to interfere, there is no way to prevent the Yugoslav Federation from interfering.

   What's more, even if Mao Xiong wants to stop the Yugoslav Federation, people may not listen to it-the Yugoslav Federation is not called the little bully of Eastern Europe 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 Mao Xiong is still in the honeymoon period, the army of the Yugoslav Federation is almost all armed with Mao Xiong.

  When the German army and the Hydra Legion were strong during World War II, there were not enough heavy weapons and equipment. The Yugoslav Federation army could fight stronger and stronger, not to mention the current uniform bear equipment?

   Coupled with their leader Tie Dadi, he is a powerful person who dares to openly challenge the bearded man.

  Under this combination, Iron Emperor is full of courage.

  So from the beginning of the Greek Civil War, the army of the Yugoslav Federation began to repeatedly create troubles in the border areas of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia.

  If it wasn't for the scruples about the U.S. troops stationed in Austria, I'm afraid it would have been pushed to the north long ago.

   As for the Austrian army? The Iron Emperor really didn't take it seriously. When they were at their worst, they were not afraid of the German army and the Hydra Legion at their peak. Now they are afraid of Austria, which relies on the United States?

  At least on the surface, in the eyes of all countries in the world, Austria is now lucky to be on the lap of the United States.

  So under the various actions of the Yugoslav Federation, the current Balkans are quite like the powder kegs of the Balkans during World War II.

   It was also at this time that Josie arrived in Vienna overnight by plane, and arrived at the presidential palace non-stop, 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 23 years old.

   "Josie, you are finally here!" In the presidential office, Karl Renner, who was still serious, showed a relaxed look after seeing Josie's arrival, "I hope you brought good news."

   But compared to the last time we met, Karl Renner looks older now.

   Obviously, this old man in his seventies has spent too much energy for this country.

"It's neither good nor bad. The United States will not directly send troops, but it is willing to provide us with 300 million U.S. dollars in financial assistance and a large number of weapons and equipment. Of course, this is conditional, and that is to defeat the Iron Emperor. After the intention, we have to help Greece!" Josie said, "But this is exactly what we need, isn't it?"

  Although Josie and the Austrian government are not short of money, since they can get money and equipment, who would dislike it?

  Anyway, whether it is defeating the Yugoslav Federation or helping Greece, it is also in the interests of Austria.

   "Then what do you mean?" Hearing Josie's words, Karl Renner showed a smile on his face, and Peter II's eyes lit up.

"That's right, this time, I decided to formally use those new equipments to give that incomparable Iron Emperor a little color, and at the same time, it's time to show our strength. We can't always let the outside world think that we are just lucky Hug the thigh of the United States, otherwise, after a long time, even the Americans will think that we are worthless!" Josie also nodded with a smile and said.

   The new equipment that Josie is talking about is actually nothing else. In the past two years, he has obtained some relatively basic weapons and equipment in the Red Alert world through the transaction with Yuri.

   Such as FA-MAS automatic rifle, AAT-52 general-purpose machine gun, AMX-30 main battle tank, SA330PUMA Puma medium helicopter, SA341/342 Gazelle gunship, Mirage 3 second-generation jet fighter, etc.

   Do you feel that these weapons have never appeared in Red Alert?

  It’s normal, because these equipment are all backward products of the 50s and 60s, when the Red Alert war had not yet broken out.

It is not wrong for Josie to let Austria show its power, but it cannot show too much power, otherwise it will easily become the target of the red and blue camps. After all, the current economic situation of Austria is only a little bit stronger than that of European countries. Little force.

  So these equipments are the early Cold War equipment that Josie requested, and then Mr. Yuri provided the technology, and Austria’s existing industrial capabilities can be mass-produced relatively easily.

   And these equipments also have a common feature.

  That is these equipments, all of which were originally developed by France in the 1950s and 1960s. The first-generation weapons and equipment after World War II.

   Yes, Josie is persecuting the French again.

   Alas, there is no way, the sages have said: A gentleman takes revenge from morning to night.

  Josie is just following the guidance of the sages.

What? Which sage? Um... maybe Lu Xun?
