Chapter 741 - The fleeing Greek government
“The hot spring pass is lost, and the Romanians are coming over!”
This amazing news spread in the city of Athens on the early morning of the 13th, which caused a commotion among the already feared citizens of Athens.
Many bold and reckless people do evil in the city.
Several disgusting evil men, holding some exquisite valuables, walked out of a house, and quickly disappeared into the street.
The sad hostess in the house fell on the fallen host and wept bitterly. There was nothing too valuable in the messy room, as if she was telling what she had just encountered.
This situation can be seen everywhere in Athens, and everyone is planning for themselves. Now the city of Athens is almost in chaos, but no one cares about it now, they are all planning and planning for themselves.
In the port of Moskhato in Athens, there are many ships gathered here. Outside the port, the Greek warships are on alert. They need to perform a very important task today.
And in the port, it was crowded with panicked dignitaries. Their servants carried large bags and small bags closely behind them and boarded the boat together. People who did not have a ticket also crowded into the port, trying to get a ticket to board the ship. They crowded the port, and if it weren’t for the military and police to maintain order, then it would be completely messed up here.
On the other side of the crowded port area, the military and police are more closely guarded, and several empty fast cruise ships are docking here. Compared with the crowded scene next door, it’s a huge difference.
At this moment, a large group of vehicles drove over.
From the security measures and the people who got off the vehicle, it can be seen that these are all high-level Greek governments.
As an old man walked out, Major General Londrit, who was in charge of this transportation task, greeted him immediately. “Your Excellency, Rear Admiral Londrit reports to you that the fleet is now ready and ready to board.”
This person is the Greek Prime Minister Metaxas, I saw him looking back at Athens, and said emotionally. “I know. It’s a pity that the Greek people have made them suffer. It’s a step away, and I lose all of them.”
It may be considered too pessimistic to say this now, he asked the other official in charge of statistics. “Is everyone here now?”
“Your Excellency, not yet.”
“Who else hasn’t come?”
“Secretary of Commerce and Trade Tasamotus, Undersecretary of Foreign Affairs Seratok, Republican Chairman Aled…”
As the officials read the names on the list, Metaxas looked ugly. Because these people who haven’t been there are basically people who have opposed themselves or have been opposed to them.
“Okay, don’t read it anymore.”
Metaxas waved his hand to stop the official who wanted to continue reading, and turned his head to speak to Major General Londrit. “Let your Majesty’s family board the ship first.”
Following Metaxus’ words, someone immediately led King George II’s family on the cruise ship.
Speaking of which George II is also poor, he succeeded the king after his brother Alexander I was killed by a monkey. Only compared to his elder brother, King George II was completely a puppet of the government, and was abolished in 1924. It was only after 1936 that he was adopted as king again.
Only this time, he left Athens again due to the war, but he didn’t know when he would come back again.
After the king’s family boarded the ship, other officials also boarded the ship. The last one was Prime Minister Metaxas. The prime minister who ruled Greece for three years, looked at Athens behind him for a long time, but the nostalgia in his eyes could not be hidden.
When the prime minister’s government and royal family left, all those on the list who were not on the ship gathered at Tasamotos’s home.
Everyone listened with a serious expression. The minister of commerce and commerce did not dare to relax a little bit, because it had something to do with the fate of Greece.
“The conditions for Italians and Romanians are that our country must assign the Ionian Islands and Epirus to Italy.”
Tasamotos paused after citing the conditions in Italy, and then citing the conditions in Romania. “The Romanian requirement is that our country assigns Macedonia and Thessaly regions to it.”
Thasamotus said that, someone immediately endured not understanding. “Isn’t this the time to return our territory to independence? We should not agree to such a condition.”
Hearing an objection, Tasamotos immediately replied coldly. “If you don’t agree, then what should I do? Mobilize everyone to resist, and then let the blood of the Greeks stain this land? Do you think we have fewer people dead!”
Thasamotus asked, so that the person who spoke would stop talking. Since they stayed, they naturally have their own reasons, but it is definitely one of them to make Greece suffer less, and it is the most justified reason. Of course, there is also a little selfishness in it, after all, no one is a saint.
Seeing that there was no objection, Tasamotos continued. “In addition, Romania also requires that we put the Cyclades and Northern Sporades under its ownership, as well as Lemnos, Risvos, Chios and other islands close to Turkey. All. In addition, the island of Crete will be leased by Romania for 30 years, with an annual rent of 10 million lei. After the expiration, the residents of the island will determine the ownership.”
After Tasamotos said the terms of the two countries, no one said anything. Because this condition was too harsh, it cut off half of the Greek land and 46% of the population. The population of Greece will drop from more than 6 million to more than 3 million, which can be described as a heavy loss.
It’s just that they don’t speak, it doesn’t mean that this condition can be negotiated.
After seeing Thasamotus sighed, he continued. “This is the final condition of the two countries, and there is no room for us to discuss.”
And his words caused crying from the audience. Knowing that everyone feels uncomfortable, but Thasamotus can only soothe it. “We don’t have the right to refuse. Think about it the other way around. At least we can keep half of Greece’s land, which is better than direct rule by the two countries.”
And his words attracted the approval of the Minister of Foreign Affairs Seratok. “Your Excellency Tasamotos is right. We must stand up to avoid more suffering for the Greeks. Although they may not understand us, we just need to have a clear conscience.”
“Yes, we can’t give up because of this. In history, the Greek people have suffered from enslavement, but they all stood up. Besides, we have not subjugated our country, and we may not have no chance in the future.
Republican Party Chairman Aled also stood up as inspiring.
With the encouragement of these three, everyone’s mood finally calmed down. Judging from the reaction on the spot, the three of them have definitely known the news~www.mtlnovel.com~ because Italy and Romania have agreed that the future Greek government will be led by them. Among them, Tasamotos is the head of government, Seratok is the prime minister, and Alled is the speaker. Well, the power of the government has been divided up by the three.
On the afternoon of the 14th, Hoffman’s armored army finally arrived outside Athens. However, the remaining few soldiers and police surrendered under the persuasion of the three, and Hoffmann’s soldiers went down to Athens without blood. Since Athens is down, the Peloponnese will not be a problem, because the peninsula is already in panic.
In order to reflect their own values, the three of them prevented Hoffman from continuing to advance and chose to persuade themselves. But not to mention, the three are still capable. Persuaded by the three, the defenders of the Peloponnese chose to surrender. Of course, this also has a lot to do with military strength. The peninsula has a total of just over 10,000 troops.
And the new government formed by the three people was also released. They quickly signed a treaty with Italy and Romania, ceding the Ionian Islands and Epirus to Italy. Ceded Macedonia and Thessaly regions, as well as Lemnos, Risvos, Chios, Cyclades and Northern Sporades to Romania.
In addition, Crete will be leased to Romania for 30 years, with an annual rent of 10 million lei. After the expiration of the period, the decision by the residents of the island will also be confirmed.
At this point, the Greek battle has been basically achieved, but Romania still needs to do it on its own to get the Cyclades and Crete in their hands. Romania is convinced of whether this can be implemented.
