The second update is complete, and I wish you all a happy new year

Just as Victor's nickname was "Merchant of Death", Victor had just left the Republika Srpska in Bosnia and Herzegovina on the front foot, and Karadzic was the president of the Republika Srpska in Bosnia and Herzegovina on the back foot.

Serbia first seized the areas where the majority of its own population lived, and Serbia and the Muslims fought for territory not only on the Serbian-Bosnian border in the east, in the northwest, and the capital Sarajevo, but also with Croatia in the north near the Croatian border. The armed forces of various factions continued to open up new battlefields, and the flames of war quickly spread across two-thirds of the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and almost 200,000 people were swept into the largest local war in Europe since World War II.

Thanks to the military assistance they received from Serbia and the Soviet Union, the Bosnian Serb army, which was stronger than the historical one, gained a strategic advantage almost overnight, and the Croatian units, which were mainly lightly armed and even had only a small number of tanks and armored vehicles, were completely no match for the Bosnian Serb forces equipped with Shilka River, T54 tanks and a small number of Hind helicopters.

Like a burning flame that swept across Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Bosnian Serb forces soon basically controlled Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the Muslim forces that clashed with the Serbian army on the border with Bosnia and Herzegovina were also defeated repeatedly, and soon the Serbs captured most of the important cities. From the beginning of the war to full control, it took less than a week. The rapid advance of ethnic Serb forces also relied heavily on intelligence provided by the Soviet Union.

The expansion of the results of the battle naturally led to the dispersion of forces, and when the Serb forces were unable to concentrate their forces to continue the offensive, the weaker side became apparent. Croatian partisan forces and regular armies also began to counterattack.

Because of Yanayev's warning before. So the Serbs did not dare to do too much in this aspect of genocide. Karadzic also repeatedly stressed that troops should not be allowed to point their guns at civilians. So there are only sporadic killings of civilians circulating in war zones.

The turmoil in Bosnia and Herzegovina has naturally caused unease in European countries. Especially the Western world, led by NATO. The war in Bosnia-Herzegovina was marked by a looming wave of refugees, whose families had been displaced by war and ethnic persecution, and who did not yearn for the former socialist countries of Hungary, Bulgaria and Romania. Instead, they went straight to Greece, and even used Italy as a springboard to flee directly to welfare states such as France and Germany.

German Chancellor Helmut? Cole spoke to French President François about the matter? Mitterrand, and John? Major held urgent consultations and meetings, and they believed that the conflict in Bosnia and Herzegovina would trigger a series of turmoil and unrest in European society, and even the European Union might be divided because of this incident.

Mitterrand scoffed at this view. He said that as long as the country's economy and society are in a stable state, external turmoil will not affect the foundation of a country's governance. And he stressed that Britain, France and Germany do not have any direct economic relations with Bosnia and Herzegovina.

"Sanctioning Bosnia and Herzegovina and forcing them to lay down their arms and go to the negotiating table is easier than eating and drinking." Mitterrand said disdainfully, "Yugoslavia has disintegrated, and there is a Serbian Republic and a Bosnian Republika Srpska that want to recreate the glory of Tito?" Did Milosevic really think he was the savior of the Serb race? In my opinion, the current war in Bosnia and Herzegovina, with its economic blockade, military sanctions and NATO military air strikes, can completely force them to the negotiating table. ”

"I agree with you that Croatia and Muslims want to come to the negotiating table, but the Serbs don't think so. Now they have an absolute advantage in their weapons, if they don't take advantage of this time to regain the vast majority of their territory. Then after the agreement was signed, they would never have a chance to regain their lost territory in the hands of the Croats. ”

Major, the British spokesman for Europe's-stirring sticks, could have hoped that this wave of refugees would affect France and Germany, and then cross the English Channel for him to profit.

"Peace talks are likely to be a long and arduous affair. Before that, let's talk about how to accommodate the sudden influx of refugees into Western Europe. Major asked.

"Isn't the end of war the same as the end of the refugee flow?" German Chancellor Kohl, who had long seen what Major was thinking, asked rhetorically, "When the situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina settles down, these people will be immediately repatriated to Bosnia and Herzegovina, and we will record every refugee who enters Germany." Let's sit down and talk about how to bring the Serbs to their knees. ”

Cole smiled slyly at the British Prime Minister, signaling that now was not the time for the other party to play with his eyes, and Major, who was seen through his careful thinking, just smiled slightly, not caring at all.

"I still talk about the integration of air strikes, economic blockades, and military strikes, and even if Serbia has a torrent of steel comparable to that of the Soviet Union, it cannot escape the power of aerial bombs."

"But the two of you here, did you think of one thing?" German Chancellor Kohl suddenly said such a sentence for no reason.

"What's the matter?" Major and Mitterrand asked in unison.

"That's the Soviet Union's statement on this matter, and even the White House is concerned about such a big thing in the news, but why hasn't the Soviet Union moved at all?" Kohl asked with some confusion, as long as the Soviet Union expressed a violation of the norm, it meant that the Soviet Union and the West had different ideas.

Cole's words made Mojie and Mitterrand's hearts sink, and at the same time, an ominous premonition welled up in their hearts.

"I'm wondering, could it be that in this civil war, there is also the shadow of the Soviet Union behind the Serbian army?" Cole whispered.

……

The CIA's Office, Robert? Gates was holding a piece of information from Europe that showed that before the war, an international Russian arms dealer had been in Bosnia-Herzegovina, and that armed conflict had broken out in Bosnia-Herzegovina. And this businessman, nicknamed "death trafficker", is also on the CIA's list of special people.

"This guy is really capable, he has been to Mozambique, and then the civil war in Mozambique suddenly became white-hot, and the peace agreement that was supposed to be signed was also nullified. He has been to the jungles of Colombia, where drug cartels have even owned helicopter gunships and have become the government's most troublesome rebel group. And this time he appeared in Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, and then the civil war in Yugoslavia began. It's no wonder that this man would be called the Merchant of Death. His sales are as accurate as a wedge in the middle of a war, and I wonder how this guy does it? Gates muttered to himself.

"The body of the last INTERPOL officer who pursued evidence of his crime on the high seas of the Indian Ocean was found in the waters off Mogadishu. It is said that he was sacked by pirates, and all the materials he carried with him were stolen, hehe, this guy is really interesting. Gates flipped through the pages of the information in his hand. There is a lot to be said about this arms legend, and it is said that his friends range from drug dealers in the rainforests of South America to the Popular Armed Front in the African savannah. He was always able to match these people with money and arms. The near-perfect sales record also appealed to the old rivals of the Soviet Union, the United States, who also needed such talent to add to the country's small coffers.

"Assistant, please transfer this person's identity information to our European database, I want you to try to keep an eye on this person's whereabouts." Gates's battle-hardened eyes gradually became sharper, and he took Victor's surrender and whispered, "If I'm not mistaken, this person has the influence of a superpower behind him." ”

The Soviets naturally had their own purpose in secretly competing in this incident, so Gates must know what Victor's ultimate purpose was.

"I have a hunch that the next Europe will be turned upside down by this person." Victor whispered. (To be continued.) )
