Chapter 741: The fleeing Greek government

The Hot Springs Pass has fallen, and the Romanians are attacking!

This astonishing news spread in the city of Athens in the early morning of the 13th, which caused a commotion among the already trembling citizens of Athens.

Many daring people are even doing bad things in the city.

Several disgusted villains walked out of a house with some exquisite and valuable items in their arms and quickly disappeared into the street.

The sad hostess in the house lay on top of the fallen man and cried bitterly. There were no valuable items left in the messy room, as if she was telling everything she had just encountered.

This situation can be seen everywhere in the city of Athens, and everyone is planning for themselves. Now the city of Athens is almost in chaos, but no one is in charge of it now, and they are all planning and planning for themselves.

In the port of Moshato in Athens, there are many ships gathered here. Outside the port, Greek warships are on alert, and they have a very important mission today.

In the port, it was crowded with panicked dignitaries. Their servants followed him, carrying large and small bags, and boarded the boat together. And people without tickets also crowded 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, the place would be in chaos.

On the other side of the crowded port area, the military and police are more heavily guarded, and several empty fast cruise ships are docked here. Compared with the scene of the hustle and bustle next door, it is a world of difference.

At this moment, a large group of vehicles drove over.

It can be seen from the security measures and the people who came down from the vehicles that these are high-level Greek government.

I saw that as an old man came out, Major General Londrit, who was in charge of the transportation mission, immediately greeted him. Your Excellency, Rear Admiral Londrit reports to you that the fleet is now ready and ready to board.

This person is the Prime Minister of Greece Metaxas. I saw him looking back at Athens, and he said it with difficulty. I see. It's a pity for the Greek people to suffer. It was a one-step difference and I lost everything.

Perhaps considering it too pessimistic to say that now, he asked another statistics official on the side. Is everyone here now?

Your Excellency Prime Minister, not yet.

Who else didn't come?

Tassamotos, Minister of Commerce and Trade, Seratok, Undersecretary of Foreign Affairs, Aled, Chairman of the Republican Party...

Metaxas' face was a bit ugly as the officials read out the names on the list. Because these people who haven't arrived are basically people who have opposed themselves, or have been opposed to them.

Okay, stop reading.

Metaxas waved his hand to stop the officials who wanted to continue reading, and turned to Major General Londrit. Let your Majesty's family get on board first.

Following Metaxas' words, someone immediately guided King George II's family to board the cruise ship.

Speaking of which, George II is also pitiful. He took over as king after his brother Alexander I was killed by a monkey. It's just that compared to his older brother, George II was a total government puppet and was abolished in 1924. It was not until 1936 that he was proclaimed king again.

Only this time, he left Athens again due to the war, and he just doesn't know when he will be able to come back again.

And when the king's family got on board,

Other officials also boarded the ship, and the last to board was Prime Minister Metaxas. The prime minister who has ruled Greece for three years, looked at Athens behind him for a long time without saying a word, but the nostalgia in his eyes could not be hidden.

While the Prime Minister waited for the government and the royal family to leave, those who were not on the list were gathered at the Thassamotos home.

Everyone listened with a serious expression. The Minister of Commerce and Trade did not dare to relax a little, because this mattered the fate of Greece.

Italians and Romanians have the condition that our country must assign the Ionian Islands and Epirus to Italy.

Tasamotos paused after saying the Italian conditions, then the Romanian conditions. The Romanian demand is that our country assign Macedonia and Thessaly to it.

When Thasamotos said this, some people immediately endured and did not understand. Isn't this the time to return our territory to independence? We should not agree to such conditions.

Hearing that someone raised an objection, Thasamotos immediately replied coldly. If you don't agree, then what should you do? Mobilize everyone to resist, and then let the blood of the Greeks dye the land red? Do you think we are still dying?

Thassamotos questioned and asked the person who spoke to stop talking. Since they stayed, they naturally had their own reasons, but it was definitely one of them that made Greece suffer less, and it was also the most reasonable reason. Of course, there is also a little selfishness of his own, after all, no one is a saint.

Seeing that there was no objection, Thasamotos continued. In addition, Romania also requested that we assign the Cyclades Islands and the Northern Sporades Islands to it, and also the islands close to Turkey, such as Lemnos, Lesbos, Chios, etc. All. In addition, Crete will be leased by Romania for 30 years, with an annual rent of 10 million lei. After the expiration of the period, the residents of the island will decide on the ownership.”

After Thasamotos said the terms of the two countries, no one spoke. Because the conditions were too harsh, half of the Greek land was cut off, and 46% of the population was cut off. The population of Greece will also drop from more than 6 million to more than 3 million, which is a heavy loss.

It's just that they don't speak, it doesn't mean that this condition can be negotiated.

I saw Thassamotos sighed and continued to speak. This is the final condition of the two countries, and there is no room for us to discuss.

And his words made the audience cry. I know that everyone is not feeling well, but Thassamotos can only comfort him. We don't have the right to refuse. Think about it in reverse. At least we keep half of Greece's territory, which is far better than direct rule between the two countries.

And his words attracted the approval of the Undersecretary of Foreign Affairs Theratok. Your Excellency Thassamotos is right, we must stand up and prevent more Greeks from suffering. Although they may not understand us, we just need to have a clear conscience.

That's right, we can't give up because of this. Historically, the Greek people suffered from enslavement, but they all stood up in the end. Besides, we haven't lost our country yet, and we may not have a chance in the future.

Republican Chairman Alled also came out as inspiring.

With the encouragement of these three people, everyone's mood finally calmed down. Judging from the on-site reaction, the three of them definitely knew the news for a long time.

Because Italy and Romania have promised that the future Greek government will be dominated by them. Among them, Thassamotos was the head of government, Serratok was the prime minister, and Aled was the speaker. Well, the government power has been completely divided among the three.

On the afternoon of the 14th, Hoffman's Panzer Army finally arrived outside Athens. The remaining small number of military and police surrendered under the persuasion of the three, and Hoffman went to Athens without blood. Now that Athens is coming, the Peloponnese will not be a problem, because the peninsula is already panicked.

In order to reflect their own value, the three prevented Hoffman from continuing to advance, and chose to persuade themselves. However, the three are still capable. Under the persuasion of the three, the defenders of the Peloponnese chose to surrender. Of course, this also has a lot to do with the strength of the army. The peninsula has a total of just over 10,000 troops.

The new government formed by the three also came out. They quickly signed a treaty with Italy and Rome, ceding the Ionian Islands and Epirus to Italy. The Macedonia and Thessaly regions, as well as the Aegean islands of Lemnos, Raisvos, Chios, Cyclades and Northern Sporades, were ceded to Romania.

In addition, Crete will be leased by Romania for 30 years at 10 million lei per year. After the expiry of the period, the decision of attribution to be carried out by the residents of the island is also confirmed.

So far, Greece has fought and basically achieved it, but Romania still needs to do it on its own to get the Cyclades and Crete in its hands. Romania, on the other hand, has no doubts about its ability to implement this.
