"Thermopylae has been lost and the Romanians are coming!"
This shocking news spread in the city of Athens in the early morning of the 13th, which caused a commotion among the already frightened citizens of Athens.
Many daring people even do evil in the city.
Several disgusted villains walked out of a house carrying some exquisite and valuable items and quickly disappeared into the street.
The grieving hostess in the house cried bitterly on the fallen male host. There were no valuable items left in the messy room, as if she was recounting everything she had just encountered.
Situations like this can be seen everywhere in the city of Athens, and everyone is planning for themselves. Now the city of Athens is almost falling into chaos, but no one is taking care of it now, and everyone is making plans and plans for themselves.
There are many ships gathered in Moshatto Port in Athens. Outside the port, Greek warships are on guard. They need to perform a very important task today.
The port was crowded with panicked dignitaries. Their servants followed them carrying large and small bags and boarded the ship together. People without tickets also crowded at the port, trying to get one.
Tickets for the ship. They crowded the port. If it weren't for the military and police to maintain order, everything would be in chaos here.
On the other side of the crowded port area, military and police security was even tighter, and several empty fast cruise ships were docked here. Compared with the chaotic scene next door, it was a huge difference.
At this moment, a large group of vehicles drove over.
It can be seen from the security measures and the people coming out of the vehicle that these are high-level officials of the Greek government.
As an old man walked out, Rear Admiral Londrit, who was in charge of the transportation mission, immediately came over. "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, Rear Admiral Londrit reports to you that the fleet is now ready and can be boarded at any time.
.”
This person was Metaxas, the Prime Minister of Greece. He looked back at Athens and said with an incomprehensible emotion. "I know. It's a pity that the Greek people have suffered. It's such a small step, which makes me satisfied."
All bets are lost.”
Perhaps thinking that it was too pessimistic to say this now, he asked another official in charge of statistics on the side. "Is everyone here now?"
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, not yet."
"Who else hasn't come?"
"Minister of Commerce and Trade Tasamotos, Undersecretary of Foreign Affairs Serratok, Chairman of the Republican Party Aled..."
As the official read out the names on the list, Metaxas looked very ugly. Because these people who hadn't arrived were basically people who had previously opposed him, or had been opposing him.
"Okay, don't read it anymore."
Metaxas waved his hand to stop the officials who wanted to continue reading, and turned to Major General Londerit and said, "Let His Majesty and his family board the ship first."
Following Metaxas' words, someone immediately guided King George II and his family onto the cruise ship.
Speaking of which, George II is also pitiful. He was the king who took over after his brother Alexander I was bitten by a monkey. But compared to his brother, George II was completely a puppet of the government and was deposed in 1924.
.And it was not until 1936 that he was proclaimed king again.
Only this time, he left Athens again due to the war, but he didn't know when he would be able to come back again.
After the king and his family all boarded the ship, other officials also boarded the ship. The last person to board the ship was Prime Minister Metaxas. This prime minister, who had ruled Greece as a dictator for three years, looked at Athens behind him in silence for a long time.
But the nostalgia in his eyes couldn't be hidden at all.
While the Prime Minister and other government and royal families left, those who were not on the list to board the ship gathered at Tasamotos' home.
Everyone listened with serious expressions. They did not dare to relax at the words of the Minister of Commerce and Trade, because this was related to the fate of Greece.
"The condition of the Italians and Romanians is that our country must assign the Ionian Islands and Epirus to Italy."
Tasamotos paused after telling Italy's conditions, and then said Romania's conditions. "And Romania's request is that our country will add Macedonia and Thessaly to its possessions."
When Tasamotus said this, some people immediately couldn't understand it. "Isn't this returning our country's territory to the time of independence? We should not agree to such conditions."
When someone raised objections, Tasamotus immediately replied coldly. "If you don't agree, what should you do? Mobilize everyone to resist, and then let the blood of Greeks stain the earth red? Do you think we will die?"
There are not many people there!”
Tasamotus asked, and the person who spoke stopped talking. Since they stayed, they naturally had their own reasons, but among them, making Greece suffer less was definitely one of them, and it was the most justified.
Reasons. Of course, there is also a little selfishness in it. After all, no one is a saint.
After seeing that there was no objection, Tasamotos continued. "In addition, Romania also requested that we transfer the Cyclades Islands and the Northern Sporades Islands to its ownership, as well as the islands of Lemnos and Leisvos.
Islands near Turkey, such as Chios and Chios, also need to be owned by it. In addition, Crete will be leased by Romania for thirty years with an annual rent of 10 million lei. After the expiration, the residents of the island will decide on the ownership.
"
After Tasamotus finished talking about the conditions for the two countries, no one spoke. Because the conditions were too harsh, half of the Greek land would be cut off, and 46% of the population would be cut off. The Greek population will also be cut off from more than 6 million.
It dropped to more than 3 million, which can be described as a heavy loss.
Just because they don't speak doesn't mean that this condition can be negotiated.
Tasamotus sighed and then continued, "This is the final condition between the two countries, and there is no room for us to negotiate."
And his words made people cry. Knowing that everyone felt uncomfortable, Tasamotos could only comfort him. "We have no right to refuse. Think about it on the other hand, at least we can keep half of Greece."
The territory will be much stronger than the direct rule of the two countries by then."
His words attracted the approval of Serratok, the Undersecretary of Foreign Affairs. "Your Excellency Tasamotos is right. We must stand up to prevent more Greeks from suffering. Although they may not understand us, we only
Just have a clear conscience."
"Yes, we cannot give up because of this. In history, the Greek people also suffered from slavery, but they all stood up in the end. Besides, we have not yet subjugated our country, so we may not have no chance in the future."
Republican Party Chairman Aled also stood up for encouragement.
With the encouragement of these three people, everyone finally calmed down. Judging from the reactions at the scene, the three people definitely knew the news.
Because Italy and Romania have agreed that the future Greek government will be dominated by them. Among them, Tasamotos will be the head of the government, Seratok will be the prime minister, and Aled will be the speaker. Well, the government power has been
It was divided cleanly among three people.
On the afternoon of the 14th, Hoffman's armored army finally arrived outside the city of Athens. The remaining few military police surrendered under the persuasion of three people, and Hoffman conquered Athens without any bloodshed. Since Athens was defeated, the Peloponnese
It will not be a problem because the peninsula is already panicked.
In order to reflect their own value, the three people stopped Hoffman from continuing to advance and chose to persuade him. However, the three people were still capable. Under the persuasion of the three people, the defenders of the Peloponnese Peninsula chose
They surrendered. Of course, this had a lot to do with the strength of the troops. There were only a little over 10,000 troops in the peninsula.
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 region to Italy. Macedonia and Thessaly region, as well as Lemno
The islands of the Aegean Sea, including Lesbos, Chios, Cyclades and Northern Sporades, were ceded to Romania.
In addition, the island of Crete will be leased by Romania for thirty years, with an annual rent of 10 million lei. After the expiration of the period, the island's residents will execute the decision to own the island, which has also been confirmed.
At this point, the Greek war has been basically completed, but Romania still needs to take action on its own to take the Cyclades and Crete. Romania has no doubts about whether it can execute this.
