Through Yugoslavia's military operations, the Albanian government also realized that it could not withstand Yugoslavia's strong military power, and could only begin to turn to the European Union, the United States, and the United Nations, hoping that they could help Albania mediate.
European and American countries have spoken out to condemn Yugoslavia, but no one has said that they will launch another military strike. And it seems that after a good fight, Yugoslavia also stopped air strikes and shelling, and unilaterally withdrew from military operations. In fact, Yugoslavia's unilateral ceasefire is equivalent to cooling down the conflict, because with the extent of Albania's damage, it is difficult to launch any offensive that can threaten Yugoslavia. The most unstable Albanian armed forces also suffered huge losses in the process. Even if they want to retaliate against Yugoslavia, it is not an easy task.
Although Yugoslavia and Albania have not signed a ceasefire agreement, a substantial ceasefire has been reached. Yugoslavia has no intention of further attacking Albania, and Albania is unable to fight back against Yugoslavia. But using this excuse, the United States found another good helper. In response to the military pressure from Yugoslavia, Albania urgently needed assistance from the outside world, especially military assistance. The White House decisively provided a sum of military aid to Albania. Although it was insignificant compared to China's military aid to the SCO countries, it also gave Albania considerable peace of mind.
In addition, the United States also hopes to station troops in Albania or Greece to contain the Chinese troops stationed in Europe on the Balkan Peninsula. At the same time, it will cooperate with its NATO allies to form a trend of encirclement of the SCO countries.
Yugoslavia is actually in more trouble than this. After Albania was suppressed by force from Yugoslavia, many Islamic countries condemned Yugoslavia's actions and expressed solidarity with Albania out of the standpoint of Islamic countries. Not only these Islamic countries, but even some extremist organizations have put Albania and the Balkans in their sights, believing that this is also an important battlefield for jihad.
Hasin Thaci, the founder of the former Kosovo Liberation Army, met with Zarqawi, the third-largest figure in Al Qaeda, in the Albanian capital of Tirana. Thaci's previous efforts had all been ruined, and then the Yugoslav People's Army launched a cross-border attack. The Albanian armed forces have dealt a devastating blow to the already weak Albanian armed forces. Thaqi almost turned gray with worry. He had no better way. When al-Qaeda personnel approached him and told him that there was a possibility of cooperation between the two parties, even though Thaqi knew from the beginning that they were a group of terrorists, he I don't want to give up either.
In appearance, Zarqawi and Thaqi are very different. The Albanians are Muslim Europeans, while Zarqawi, who was born in Jordan, is a standard Arab. However, they have a common topic, punishing the enemies of Muslims.
"Mr. Thaqi, you must know that security and victory cannot be had at the same time, and for the light of God and the well-being of fellow Muslims, we martyrs must stand up and let the infidels know that after they have insulted Muslims, After blaspheming the glory of God, you will never be able to live in peace, and with our call, victory will finally come!" Zarqawi waved his arms to Thaqi and spoke eloquently.
It's just that Thaqi is a figure with a higher education in Europe, and he is not interested in Zarqawi's trick of deceiving ordinary Muslims. Faith is not an irreplaceable thing in his eyes. What he cherishes is power, and now he is far away from power. Come farther and farther. So Thaqi's nature is not too high at the moment. There has been a kind of self-destruction since he contacted Zarqawi.
"Mr. Zarqawi, thank you and your comrades for your support. Now the Albanians in Kosovo need assistance from any friends who are willing to help us, and as heroic warriors of Allah, we will never give up resistance, either or another¡¡"
Zarqawi also saw that Thaqi was not so enthusiastic, but he did not care about this. What he needed was to shock the world with the holy warriors and let the world know how powerful Al Qaeda was. But for this, Zarqawi and bin Laden need more holy warriors, and the Kosovo Albanian armed forces, which are obviously almost finished, are a good supplement.
Zarqawi said: "Mr. Taqi, please rest assured. As long as you lend us the warriors in your hands, we will be able to provide you with a group of the most capable holy warriors in a short time. They are not afraid of any enemy and have the courage to do so." Sacrifice yourself and accomplish the great deeds of Allah, and those lowly infidels will pay the price for what they have done.¡±
Thaci also understood that Zarqawi was looking for him just to poach people, but the Albanian government was obviously no longer willing to support his Albanian armed forces. The focus of Americans' training has also become Albanian officials, and even many Albanians resent those from Kosovo. They brought the flames of war to their own land and were quite repulsive to them. In Albania, they have no way out.
"Maybe I can only become a terrorist?" Thaqi was helpless, but thinking about it, the things he had done before were not much better than terrorists, so he nodded and agreed to Zarqawi's request.
At this point, the Albanian armed forces slowly transformed from a rebel force to terrorists. After a group of Albanian armed forces received training from Americans and became guerrillas, they began to receive training from Al Qaeda and became terrorists. They secretly left Albania and entered the Middle East, received training on suicide bombing, and finally followed different routes into Yugoslavia. Their goal was very clear, which was to cause terrorist attacks in Yugoslavia. In order to show his sincerity, Zarqawi first used Al Qaeda to organize his own people and entered Yugoslavia to carry out terrorist attacks. In a square in Sarajevo, due to a lack of security, two terrorists detonated a car bomb, injuring hundreds of people in the square and killing 11 people. Prime Minister Novakovic immediately declared a state of martial law across the country, and security forces and intelligence agencies were dispatched to conduct investigations. In the end, al-Qaeda's tail was finally caught. A terrorist organization that shocked the world revealed its terrifying face for the first time, but the world still didn't know that this terrorist organization would carry out an even more terrifying attack.
