I beg you all for your support and appreciation.
Athens, Parthenon.
May is the peak tourist season in Greece.
The Parthenon, a place that used to be crowded with tourists, is now deserted.
There are only a few people on the huge Acropolis.
There is nothing we can do about it.
The Soviet Red Army has already entered Athens.
Who is still in the mood to travel?
The Acropolis is located in the center of the ancient castle, on a limestone hill.
This is the highest point in the city of Athens.
Standing here, you can see most of the city of Athens.
At this time, several tourists in casual clothes were standing in front of the square in front of the Parthenon, looking towards Metropolitan Avenue.
This group of people is probably all the tourists on the Acropolis today.
Among these tourists were people from both East and West.
They all seemed to be white-collar workers in the company.
They were led by two Orientals in their thirties.
They usually use telescopes to observe the scene on the streets of the metropolis and talk at the same time.
Today is the time for the Soviet Red Army to hold an entry ceremony.
Now it is the Soviet mechanized troops entering the city.
I saw a large number of T-38, T-39, T-40, IS-4, B-39 and other armored vehicles lined up.
Neat queues roared majestically through the Metropolitan Avenue.
The local Communist Party of Greece organized a large number of people to stand on both sides of the street to welcome them.
They waved the sickle and hammer pen flag of the Third International and the Soviet flag, held bilingual banners and slogans in Russian and Greek, and shouted "Ula, Ula".
Hey, yes, the flag of the Third International is a hammer and sickle crossed by a pen, which is similar to the Korean party flag in the original time and space.
This is because the hammer and sickle head was preempted by the Socialist Party of Science and Technology, so Comrade Ulyanov had to replace it. ＾＿＾ "Haha, the KKE's actions are pretty good.
They actually created an atmosphere of eating and drinking in order to welcome Master Wang."
Meng Yan, a tall and thin man, put down his telescope and said with a somewhat mocking smile.
"Of course, this country will be controlled by the Greek Communist Party from now on.
How can they not be grateful to the Soviet Union?
If they relied on themselves, I'm afraid they would have no hope in this life."
The slightly fat Li Xiaoren nodded.
"Greece seems to have fallen into the hands of the Soviet Union.
Stalin has tricked the whole world this time."
"It's not as if they've tricked the whole world.
This was agreed between the Soviet Union and Germany.
The Balkans were given half to the Soviet Union.
But the Greeks were really unlucky.
They thought they were neutral and there was no problem, but disaster struck from the sky.
If If they voted for the Allies early, they might not be so passive."
The two chatted for a while and then walked down the mountain.
These two are indeed Chinese, but they both work in large European conglomerates.

Li Xiaoren is an executive of the British Godzilla Consortium, while Meng Yan is an executive of the French Pioneer Consortium.
The British Godzilla Consortium and the French Pioneer Consortium were both upstarts who made their fortune by reselling Xingke products.
After acquiring capital, they subsequently developed into high-tech enterprise groups in their respective countries.
Before the outbreak of World War II, their businesses covered many fields such as finance, banking, aviation, shipbuilding, electronics, machinery, motorcycles, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, mining and metallurgy, shipping, international trade, and even light industry, textiles, agriculture, animal husbandry and fishery.
Both the Godzilla Consortium and the Pioneer Consortium are among the top consortiums in their respective countries.
Coupled with the high technology they master, their actual influence is higher than their total assets.
Although the current war in Europe has a certain impact on their business, it has a greater impact on other consortiums, because the main trading partners of these two consortiums are the People's Revolutionary League and Western York, and they have many channels in these two national groups.
Therefore, World War II was a good opportunity for them to expand their domestic power.
Other consortiums lost 50%, but they only lost 10%.
Will they still think about who has a greater advantage in the future?
Of course, Li Xiaoren and Meng Yan did not come specifically to see the Soviet Union enter the city.
They came to Greece with a special mission.
Of course, the Soviet Union and the KKE, which had already taken power, would not give them face.
No, as soon as they came down the mountain, they were surrounded by a group of Greek Red Guards.
"Gentlemen, now the decadent Glücksburg dynasty is over.
Capitalists are not welcome in the people's Greece.
Gentlemen, your factories are the property of the Greek people."
The Greek man who led the group was called Karagounis.
He held a document and said arrogantly: "According to the notice of the Revolutionary Committee, you must leave Greece before 12 o'clock on May 28th."
This man turned out to be just a police chief.
He had known Li Xiaoren and Meng Yan before, but at that time, Greece was a neutral country.
With his status, how could he dare to be so presumptuous in front of British and French tycoons like Li Xiaoren and Meng Yan?
But it is different now.
Come on, the Soviet giant bear is coming.
He is now a member of the Athens City Management Committee, and of course he is shaking.
He is here specifically to show off his superiority.
"Now you can go back and pack your personal belongings.
You must not destroy the company's production equipment and drawings.
These things must be completely and completely handed over to the workers' committee.
In addition, the gold cannot be taken away.
This also belongs to the Greek people."
Karagounis raised his chin, displaying the revolutionary's sense of superiority.
Seeing the livid faces of these capitalists, Karagounis felt extremely proud.
Humph, he is a member of a revisionist country and a high-level loser of big capitalists.
Of course he is the enemy of New Greece.
If these two companies had not cooperated with the Soviet Union and had the talisman of the Chinese passport, his attitude would have been even worse. .
"Okay, we will leave tonight," Li Xiaoren said with a cold face.
Although the workers of the Godzilla Consortium in Athens were only used as a cover, and those who needed to be moved had already been moved before the Soviet Union came, it still made him very uncomfortable to be driven away like this.
Greece is an outlier in Europe.
It is a very backward agricultural country.
Greece's industrialization process was surprisingly late for Europe, in stark contrast to Europe's vibrant Industrial Revolution.
By the end of the 19th century, all of Europe had completed industrialization and urbanization, but Greece was still a self-sufficient pre-industrial traditional society.
The land is dominated by agriculture, and the sea is dominated by fishery.
Although several railways and highways were built at the end of the 19th century, they may not be much more advanced than India, and the number and scale of its factories are even lower than those of the Qing Dynasty.
In the history of the original time and space, it was not until the Papadopoulos military dictatorship came to power in the 1960s that industrialization began.

It was not until the 1970s that Greece realized the transformation from an agricultural country to an industrial country.
However, there are some differences in this plane.
Due to the layout of Wen Desi, the industrialization process of Greece was 30 years earlier than the original time and space.
During the great economic crisis in the 1930s, some capital groups in European and American countries invested part of their funds in Greece and set up factories in Greece in order to avoid the financial crisis.
At the same time, a large number of various machinery and production lines that were sold at low prices were purchased from Europe and the United States.
Greece also took advantage of this trend and began industrialization.
Therefore, Greece at this time can already be regarded as an industrial country.
It's just that most of their factories are in the hands of European capital, the largest of which are the British Godzilla Consortium and the French Pioneer Consortium.
Nearly 60% of the heavy industry and 70% of the light industry in Greece are owned by these two companies.
Senior executives of the consortium like Li Xiaoren and Meng Yan have a high status in Greece.
But it is precisely because Greece's industrialization is developing faster that the power of the Greek Communist Party in this plane is much stronger than in the original time and space.
As for why scientific socialism has not developed, it is because of Turkey next door.
I won’t go into details about the historical grievances between Greece and Turkey.
To say that the hatred between these two families is as deep as the ocean is an understatement.
Even the Sino-Japanese relations in the original time and space can be called friendly neighbors compared to the relations between Greece and Turkey.
Especially on the Greek side, the attitude is "We will definitely oppose anything Turkey supports."
Since Turkey has chosen scientific socialism, the Greeks will never choose this.
This is a matter of principle of the Greeks, "If the local chicken eats, I will fly."
Therefore, Wen Desi's scientific socialism cannot develop here.
Well, in other words, Wen Desi's penetration of Greece failed.
He underestimated the national feelings of the Greek people.
These guys are very wary of China, because Turkey is China’s little brother, so naturally they hate it.
But a Greece is certainly not worth Wen Desi giving up Turkey.
The value of native chickens is much greater than that of Greece, so the choice between the two is not difficult to make.
However, Mr.
Wen also has considerations about Greece.
Since Turkey is wary of China, it makes it difficult for Chinese companies to enter, but they are not so hostile to Western countries such as Britain and France, so the British Godzilla Consortium and the French Pioneer Consortium came.
As for why Wen Desi deliberately supported Greece, the reason is very simple, that is, "checks and balances."
You know, Greece in this plane is much weaker than in the original time and space.
Due to the different results of the Balkan War, they have no share in the Macedonian region.
The territory has been reduced by a full 50,000 square kilometers, almost 40% less, and the strength is far less than the original time and space.
For China, checks and balances are a good means in areas such as the Balkans where it is difficult for China to intervene.
The purpose of supporting Greece is to balance the strength of the countries in this region.
Otherwise, if the strength of the Balkan countries is too different, trouble will easily occur.
It's just that the plan didn't change quickly.
Originally, according to President Wen's plan, Greece was going to remain neutral.
In this way, the power in this area would be more balanced.
However, I did not expect that due to the industrialization of Greece, the Communist Party of Greece would also take the opportunity to rise.
The red furry bear turned out to be cheaper.
Yes, Mr.
Wen is in trouble in Greece, but it doesn't matter to the current overall situation.
This is like playing chess.
When the overall situation is dominant, a few pieces are captured.
Although it is depressing, it has nothing to do with the overall situation.
Moreover, it is not entirely a bad thing for Greece to join the red bear camp.

Although the opportunity to control Greece was lost, it allowed the red-haired man to sink deeper into World War II.
With Greece as their forward base, it will be more convenient for them to deploy their troops and generals. 515 is coming soon, and I hope to continue to hit the 515 red envelope list.
On May 15th, the red envelope rain will be given back to readers and promotional works.
One piece is also love, I will definitely update it carefully:
