【1169 Olympic Diplomacy】


"Take into account the overall situation, don't have to fight-for-tat."

Emperor Hua whispered to Princess Katrina Kaf.This is exactly what Princess Katrina Kafu wanted to say to Emperor Hua, the two of them looked at each other very tacitly, nodded at the same time, slowed down, and smiled.Jiegege, Zhao Qingluo, Catherine, are all a little sour, especially Zhao Qingluo, I don't know why I have this sour feeling in my heart, what's wrong with me, am I really in love with Yuemeng, King George I of Greece nodded awkwardly to Emperor Hua, the meaning is more inclusive.Hua Huang saw a dignified king, forced to this role by a prime minister, and secretly laughed, European democracy, compared with Huaguo, I don't know whether it is advanced or backward."

Sure enough, the Prime Minister of the Empire, Mr.

Trikupis is really extraordinary."

Hua Huang smiled slightly and said in fluent English.Trikupis looked at Emperor Hua in surprise, although he had long known that Emperor Hua was a very powerful person, but he was still taken aback by Emperor Hua, where is this still a child, Emperor Hua also knew that George I was an ornament, the real power of the Greek Kingdom was in the hands of the parliament and the prime minister, but this Trikupis clearly rejected China, and he did not look down on himself as the emperor, if he wanted to get rid of Trikupis, it seemed impossible, this is indeed an unsolvable lock.However, Huahuang is not in a hurry.Regardless of whether Trikupis looked at Shanghua or not, the Greek kingdom and the Chinese state had something in common that needed to be defended, and that was the Ottoman Turkish Empire."

His Majesty the Emperor Hua has won the prize."

Trikupis can be Huahuang's grandfather, which is one of the reasons why he is a little resistant to Huahuang.From the current point of view, the age of the Chinese Emperor, the current age of nine years old, although it is no longer very scary, but it still has a little impact, the high-level of various countries, but anyone who can sit at the high-level, in addition to the direct heir of the royal family, the position of the prime minister, less than 50 years old, how to sit at least 40 years old, 40 years old, is the limit, to 40 years old, 50 years old, 60 years old, or even 70 or 80 years old A group of prime ministers to talk to the Chinese Emperor at the age of nine years old, it is indeed a little difficult.When the Emperor saw that Trikupis was willing to speak, he was so unhappy that he chatted casually, talking and laughing at will, talking about the achievements of Trikupis since he took office, and from the little achievements made by the Greek Kingdom in recent years, he specially picked out what the Greeks liked to hear, and at the same time praised Trikupis for his talent.Thousands of shots are not worn out, and people who have reached the spiritual realm of Trikupis are not exempt from vulgarity.Princess Katrina Kafu looked at Emperor Hua with joy in her heart, and Emperor Hua was her god.Mrs.

Catherine is even more so, since the time when Emperor Hua was one or two years old, Catherine has already thought so, the nine-year-old Emperor Hua is more calm and capable, and she has not seen her for a few years, which also makes Catherine more admired.The twisting coast, the blue and beautiful Aegean Sea, which has given birth to the Minoan civilization, the Mycenaean civilization, and the classical Greek civilization, is the cradle of Western civilization and evokes the romantic reverie of countless people.If you look at the map, you will find that there are many islands in the Aegean Sea, but they are basically all Greek territory, and even a series of islands off the coast of Turkey, which are close to Turkey, belong to Greece on the other side of the sea.The Aegean Sea has indeed become a sea of "cold war" between Greece and Turkey, and the two countries have sharply opposed each other on the Aegean Sea issue around their respective national interests, and even came to the brink of war for a time.In 1453, Constantinople, the capital of the Byzantine Empire, fell to the Ottoman Empire.This is an event that is also familiar to the people of the country, and the monstrous waves set off, after hundreds of years of tumbling, still continue to ripple layer by layer.In the tense situation that erupts from time to time in the "Balkan powder keg" region, the aftermath can also be felt by the Chinese country and the Chinese emperor thousands of miles away.Greece and Turkey's century-old dispute over rights and interests in the Aegean Sea has also planted a remote cause.At the end of the Byzantine Empire, the national power was declining, and the last territory was only the capital Junbao, the surrounding Eastern Thrace and part of Greece, and the capital itself was in dilapidation, with only 50,000 people and about 7,000 soldiers left before the city was broken.The city is full of ruins and broken walls, and the farmland of the village community is everywhere.After the city was destroyed, although the Turkish army also burned and plundered, thanks to the deliberate protection of the Turkish Sultan Mehmed II, he did not want to get a completely destroyed capital, and the situation was good, and soon the Greeks settled here again.Since then, the Greeks scattered throughout the Eastern Mediterranean have largely been placed under Ottoman rule.Still, the pain of national loss, religious strife, and being a second-class subject of the Sultan deeply irritated the once-proud Greeks.Since Constantinople fell on Tuesday, many Greeks still consider Tuesday to be the most ominous day of the week to this day.By the beginning of the 19th century, the aging Ottoman Empire was in decline and in danger of being divided by the great powers.In 1814, the Society of Friendship, a secret organization with the goal of liberating Greece, was founded, with plans to revolt simultaneously in the Peloponnese, the Danube principalities, and the Constantine newspaper.In 1821, the Danube principalities were the first to revolt, which was quickly suppressed by the Turks, but the Peloponnese immediately responded.After fierce fighting, by the end of March, the entire Peloponnese was under the control of the insurgents, and the Ottomans were in full swing to suppress it.At this critical moment, the Greek rebels started a civil war due to serious factional conflicts, and the Ottomans and Egyptian warlords took the opportunity to fight back violently, and at the end of 1825, recaptured most of the peninsula.Of course, the European powers, which were always ready to weaken the Ottoman Empire, naturally did not give up this golden opportunity to intervene, and the operation to free Greece began.In 1827, Britain, France, and Russia signed the Treaty of London, calling on Ottoman Turkey to allow Greeks to govern themselves while retaining suzerainty, and the three countries jointly sent fleets to Greece in an attempt to broker an armistice between Greece and Turkey.The combined fleet of the three countries destroyed the combined Ottoman and Egyptian fleets at the Battle of Navarino on October 20 of that year.In 1828, the Eighth Russo-Turkish War broke out between Russia and Turkey, and in the same year France sent troops to the Peloponnese.The Greeks took the opportunity to counterattack.In desperation, in 1832, the Ottoman Turks were forced to recognize the independence of Greece.The development of the Greek independence movement has inspired the romantic fantasies of countless European literati, and some DAPs have thrown themselves into the torrent of rescuing the "Mother of Western Civilization", such as the famous British poet Byron, who even sacrificed his life for it.In 1831, on the verge of gaining independence, Greece was plunged into a state of anarchy by the assassination of the Greek governor Ioniska Burgistias.At the London Peace Conference in 1832, the European powers appointed a foreigner as king of Greece: the 17-year-old prince Otto of Bavaria, the 21st grandson of Theodore I, the emperor of the Lascaris dynasty of the Byzantine Empire.After the establishment of the Kingdom of Greece, it experienced many battles between the Bavarian regency brought by the little king Alto and the Greek constitutionalists, and finally broke out in 1843 in the Constitutional Revolution of 93, and the Greek constitutionalists won.At this time, the young king Alto I had grown up, and in order to consolidate his position in the still turbulent political situation, Alto decided to stand at the forefront of Greek nationalism and live the "great ideal".The so-called "great ideal", to put it bluntly, is the great Greek nationalism, the great power dream of restoring the Byzantine Empire, wherever there is a settlement of our Greek nation, where there is a close connection with the Greek nation in history, it should be the territory of the Greek Kingdom, and Constantinople is the natural capital of the future Greek Empire Taking advantage of the opportunity of the Crimean War in 1854, Alto I started to work.The main forces of the Turkish army engaged the Russian front line, and Greece sent irregular troops to invade Turkish territory, but the result was a big defeat and loss, and nothing was gained.Soon, Otto I was forced to abdicate as a result of a domestic coup d'état, and the first stage of the practice of the "Great Ideal" ended in failure.Soon after, the Great Powers appointed another king to Greece: George I, both paternal and matrilineal, was related to the Byzantine royal family.As soon as George I ascended the throne, he brought the Ionian Islands to Greece, which Britain gave as a great gift to George on the throne.George I was enlightened and politically skillful, almost doubling the territory of Greece, especially in the Balkan Wars, Crown Prince Constantine won victory after victory, defeated Turkey and Bulgaria in succession, obtained Crete, Macedonia, Epirus and Salonika, as well as many islands in the Aegean Sea, and saw Constantinople in front of him, and the lofty ideals seemed to be within reach, although everyone was not enthusiastic, but Trikupis would not leave when he saw the emperor, and still had a meal.During the banquet, the Chinese emperor didn't say anything, but Princess Katrina Kaaf and the Greek queen talked and laughed, as if they were already good friends.Hua Huang smiled, "I had such a good time today, when I finish eating, I will play cards, I especially like your Greek gameplay." ”Playing tickets is gambling money, and Huahuang is going to send some money to Trikoupis, and at the poker table, it is more convenient and natural to speak, and there is not much grudge.In the eyes of Emperor Hua, Trikupis does not look down on Huaguo, mainly because Huaguo is too far away, and it has little to do with him and the Kingdom of Greece, so it is not helpful for political achievements, but if you can get money, you will not naturally have political achievements. ”George I readily agreed, he was trying his best to get on with Huaguo.Trikupis also saw Hua Huang's intentions, thinking that he was cold enough, Hua Huang was still so enthusiastic, he didn't stretch out his hand to hit the smiling person, and he naturally had no opinion.The Chinese dollar was already circulating in Europe, and the Emperor brought a lot of gold coins, most of which flowed into Trikoupis's pocket."

Doing a good job in economic and trade with China is conducive to the two-way development of the Kingdom of Greece and China, which is still one of them, and more importantly, it can open up the Eurasian continent by land, if the Ottoman Turkish Empire intervenes too much, our China will have reason to intervene in regional disputes."

Hua Huang said quietly.King George I of Greece and Trikupis were stunned, they didn't expect Emperor Hua to be so direct all of a sudden, Trikupis had eyeliner in the palace, knowing that yesterday George I and Emperor Hua did not talk about any substance, and today in front of himself, if he said so, it was for himself.Trikupis pretended not to hear, and George I smiled and nodded, inconvenient to comment.Hua Huang then smiled and said, "I heard that the Olympic Games originated in ancient Greece more than 2,000 years ago, and were named after the place where they were held in Olympia.The ancient Olympic Games were suspended for 1,500 years, and I proposed the modern Olympic Games.The Olympic Committee was established and the first Olympic Games were held.I wonder what Your Majesty and Mr.

Prime Minister think, this is very beneficial to the international status of the Kingdom of Greece. ”Trikupis was stunned again, he just talked about the substance, how did he turn to the Olympic movement and go to the idea of Huahuang, I really can't figure it out.t1706231537:
