    The establishment of the "Italian Socialist Republic" was proclaimed, 45,000 League of Nations peacekeeping troops were stationed in Italy, and the Apennine Peninsula immediately became a mess.  If the chaos in Italy only upset the leaders of the Western Allies, then the sudden changes in Estonia really stung their nerves and made them restless: in the early autumn of 1958, Estonian revolutionaries launched an armed uprising.  , almost overnight seized control of the capital Tallinn and strategic locations across the country. Members of the royal family and government officials fled in a hurry, and bright red flags appeared in various towns Although there is no evidence of cross-border operations by Soviet Russian troops,  However, the revolutionaries were able to sweep away the government forces with the force of the autumn wind. This was impossible without careful and adequate preparations and strong external support.  Just as the Western Allies, led by Germany, were preparing to carry out armed intervention in the name of the League of Nations peacekeeping forces, Soviet Russia suddenly issued a "threat": In view of the great impact of Estonia's stable situation on neighboring countries, as long as the League of Nations announced a peacekeeping operation against Estonia, Soviet Russia  We will immediately respond to the League of Nations resolution and send 400,000 well-trained and disciplined troops to Estonia. We believe that the situation in the country can be stabilized in the shortest possible time.  With the current military strength and military deployment of Soviet Russia, the Western Allies have no doubt that they can dispatch to Estonia within a day or two a large number of regular troops that can overwhelm the Western peacekeeping forces. Considering that the Soviet Union has already sent a considerable number of troops to Estonia.  The military personnel have a better grasp of the country's geography and even its humanities than the Estonian government. After urgently consulting with the Allied countries, the Germans decided to postpone sending troops to Estonia in the name of League of Nations peacekeeping and instead launched a "proxy war."  As early as the 1940s, the Germans followed the example of the Irish Foreign Legion and formed their mercenary force, euphemistically called the "Knights of the Cross."  The equipment and training of this unit are first-class. Its size has expanded from the original 800 people to more than 40,000 people. It has participated in a series of military operations that have taken place around the world, but its reputation and influence have never been as good as that of the United States.  Irish Foreign Legion - Through the observation and analysis of the Italian War, the Scottish War and the Middle East War, the German General Staff also clearly realized this.  Therefore, in their proposed "proxy war" plan for Estonia, foreign corps and volunteers from various countries were used to form a "joint column" to assist the weak Estonian government forces in turning the tide of the war and driving out the Estonian revolutionary armed forces.  The participating countries not only gained sufficient experience in the Italian War and the Scottish War, but also earned a large amount of political and economic benefits. With such an example, the indirect intervention plan of the German General Staff was naturally approved at the joint military conference of the Western Allies.  In response, most countries including Austria-Hungary, Spain, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, and even Norway and Denmark expressed their willingness to send troops.  Among them, Austria-Hungary, Spain, and Belgium will all send their foreign corps to participate in the war, and the remaining countries will organize "volunteer corps" from active military personnel. In this way, combatants can go to Estonia without undergoing long-term training.  .  What surprised the Germans a little was that this time, their die-hard allies were very negative - or pessimistic.  The Chief of Staff of the new United Kingdom who attended the meeting said that the Slavs and Turks in the Irish Foreign Legion hated Red Soviet Russia. This hatred would seriously affect their tactical discipline and even lead to the occurrence of some unpredictable vicious events.  , so they would not send Slavs and Turks to Estonia.  Since the new United Kingdom has already dispatched more than 10,000 soldiers to participate in Italian peacekeeping, they can only send about 4,000 Foreign Legion soldiers including Europeans, Asians, and Africans to join the so-called "Estonian International Joint Volunteer Force."  At the meeting, the chief of staff also warned his disapproving colleagues that the Russian army has never been easy to deal with. The fighting will and tenacity of Soviet soldiers blessed by red ideology should be estimated to be two to three times that of the old Tsarist Russian army.  .  For about ten months from the autumn of 1958 to the summer of 1959, the United Volunteer Army organized by the Western Allies fought fiercely with the Estonian National Army supported by Soviet Russia. The final result of this proxy war surprised most people.  Unexpected: Although the well-equipped and experienced United Volunteers had advantages in all technical indicators, they were repeatedly beaten to the ground by the Estonian National Army using World War II weapons. That long and cold winter became the Western "Volunteers"  An unbearable nightmare, a large number of soldiers were disabled due to injuries, and many people suffered from war phobia. The Estonian government forces supported by the Western Allies also became weaker and weaker. Often, after a battle, more than half of the people defected to the other side.  At the border, their area of ??control continued to shrink. In the most difficult time, they could only control a few islands along the coast Once the Estonian revolutionary regime was consolidated, this Baltic country would fall into the Soviet camp and blockade Soviet Russia's east coast.  ?A big gap will open in the defense line. The Western Allies camp led by Germany certainly does not want to see this happen.  The lesser of two evils, they decided to put aside the Italian shit and focus on solving the Estonian problem.  While continuously strengthening frontal investment, the German General Staff changed its past style and carried out precise air strikes against the leaders of the Estonian revolutionary armed forces many times, achieving certain results.  In order to capture or kill the spiritual leader of the Estonian Revolutionary Armed Forces, they deployed the most elite special operations forces and almost succeeded.  Since the target person fled across the border into Soviet Russia at the last moment, the Western Allied nationalities challenged the Soviet Russian government and asked them to detain and hand over "Estonia's number one traitor", but was rejected as expected.  These old and new grudges are accumulating. Among the top German leaders, the voice calling for a nuclear strike against Russia is unprecedentedly high. In view of the fact that the Soviet Union has made key progress in the field of nuclear weapons research, the German military also hopes to use a large-scale  A nuclear strike destroyed the Russian nuclear research facilities and fundamentally curbed Soviet Russia's strategic deterrence.  After receiving the consent of Kaiser Wilhelm, the German General Staff immediately launched a nuclear war plan and sent additional heavy long-range bombers and nuclear rocket forces to Eastern Europe.  Faced with the nuclear threat from the West, the Russians did not compromise. On the surface, they issued a nationwide evacuation mobilization order to evacuate residents and military personnel in large and medium-sized cities, and announced that the validity period of the Russian-Japanese non-aggression treaty would be extended to  twenty years, and accelerated the establishment of a new industrial city on the shores of Lake Baikal.  Secretly, they issued instructions to underground revolutionary organizations in Belarus, Ukraine, Poland and even Latvia, asking them to attack military trains and military vehicles of the Western Allied forces, and use rockets to attack military bases and military airports, which greatly disrupted the Western Allied forces' operations in Eastern Europe.  offensive deployment.  In Bobruisk in central-eastern Belarus, a rocket fired by an attacker hit a German heavy long-range bomber parked at a military airport and almost detonated two atomic bombs with a nuclear yield of 60,000 tons of TNT.  Afterwards, the German General Staff had to dispatch nine additional divisions to Eastern Europe to strengthen military security, and launched an almost frantic sweep and killing of underground resistance organizations in Eastern European countries.  Soviet Russia took this as an excuse to lodge a strong protest with the League of Nations Council and the Arbitration Commission, and to create massive public opinion through the international public.  Since the birth of Red Soviet Russia, it seems that all countries have an inherent hostility and fear towards it. However, in the face of national interests and the political needs of vertical and horizontal alliances and strategic balance, ideological opposition can also be  Put aside temporarily.  As the turmoil in Eastern Europe intensified, the Western Allied countries basically cut off contact with the Soviet Union. The League of Nations Council and the League of Nations General Assembly successively passed sanctions against Russia, but many countries still refused to join the blockade, and the United States was one of them.  The most powerful.  Ministerial officials from both sides met in Alaska and reached an agreement that the United States would provide Soviet Russia with materials and technology worth hundreds of millions of dollars in the form of loans and barter, including high-quality steel, alloys, heavy-duty trucks, transport aircraft, etc.  Civilian products for military purposes, as well as electrical technology and mechanical computer technology at the world's cutting-edge level.  In addition, Japan, which had fought fiercely with the Soviet Union for many years, also made the decision to adopt good-faith neutrality when most of the world besieged the Soviet Union. The two countries even carried out a series of secret cooperation in the field of military technology.  ¡°Seeing that half of Europe is in the flames of war, with countless civilians displaced and even innocently killed, and the Pan-Pacific countries are moving closer to each other under the coercion of the Western Allies, and there are gradually signs of forming two camps to confront each other.  You must know that the Americans are one of the first countries to master nuclear technology. The Soviet Union and Japan have already stood outside the nuclear threshold. Once the war in Eastern Europe escalates, it is likely to trigger a terrible nuclear war, affecting millions of people.  Bringing catastrophe to living beings.  During this critical period, King Joachim I of the new United Kingdom abandoned his historical position of unconditional support for the Western Allies and called on the leaders of Germany and Soviet Russia to put down their ideological obsessions and proceed from the overall interests of human peace and the continuation of civilization.  Respect and understand each other, stop armed hostility through active consultation, and resolve the military confrontation between the Estonian government and the anti-government in an internationally accepted way, that is, a referendum.  In order to strengthen diplomatic mediation, Joachim I subsequently announced that the armed forces of the new United Kingdom would withdraw from Eastern Europe until the disputed countries reached an agreement, and would not return to Eastern Europe as League of Nations peacekeeping forces. At the same time, the new United Kingdom would  Suspend all technical assistance and material support to Soviet Russia in the civilian and livelihood fields, and temporarily withdraw all technical and medical personnel.  Later, at the formal occasion of the League of Nations General Assembly, the legendary leader gave a speech, analyzing and describing the harm of nuclear weapons to the human living environment, advocating that nuclear-weapon states jointly sign a declaration aimed at the peaceful development and utilization of nuclear energy, and  Establish a special nuclear weapons monitoring and sanctions committee to use international force to restrict the development and production of nuclear weapons by countries, and promise that the new United Kingdom will provide countries around the world with the peaceful use of nuclear energy.??'s cutting-edge technology.  Under the strong pressure of international public opinion, the Germans, who were unwilling to see the formation and growth of hostile camps, reluctantly made concessions. Joint negotiations with Germany, Soviet Russia and Estonia as the protagonists continued intermittently until the spring of 1960. The parties finally signed a peace treaty.  Put pen to paper.  A few months later, Estonia held a referendum, with the majority agreeing to abolish the monarchy. In the subsequent popular elections, the Soviet party did not gain an overwhelming advantage as the outside world expected. Instead, under the supervision of the League of Nations, the Soviet party  Form a coalition government with the Republicans.  The war in Estonia subsided, and the various Italian factions that had been quarreling for several years were also tired. They took the initiative to sit down at the negotiation table, and the conclusion after repeated discussions was to follow the example of Estonia and hold a popular election. However, during the period, a scandal of vote tampering occurred, which almost triggered the  New armed conflicts.  During this period, the League of Nations implemented reforms at the request of the participating countries and had no time to pay attention to the farce of the Italians. Neighboring countries such as Germany, France and Spain strictly guarded their borders and did not get too involved in Italian affairs, resulting in tens of millions of Italians spending their time in loneliness.  Have some free time
