2878 Surrender of Italy and Greece

In this war, the Kingdom of Spain suffered huge losses. A total of more than 40 armored vehicles were destroyed and more than 1000 people were killed. China also suffered certain losses, with more than 100 marines sacrificed.

Faced with such a huge loss, the navy wanted Lin Yuan to severely punish the Kingdom of Spain, but Lin Yuan refused. At this time, Lin Yuan wanted to deal with Italy and Greece, and he didn't want to cause trouble.

Italy is a staunch ally of Germany at this time, and the two countries are geographically very close. The northern part of Italy is the Alps, and through the Alps, you can enter southern Germany.

The Alps are covered with snow all the year round, which can be called a military death place, but this death place is not invincible. As early as the second Punic War in the third century BC, the Carthaginian commander Hannibal led his troops through the In the Alps, it seems that Lin Yuan is going to repeat Hannibal's footsteps.

Gibraltar was captured by China, and the Kingdom of Italy and the Kingdom of Greece were shocked and terrified. They all understood that once Gibraltar was occupied by China, it meant that China occupied the Strait of Gibraltar. At that time, the Chinese naval fleet could easily enter the Mediterranean Sea, and then attack the Kingdom of Italy and the Kingdom of Greece. The Kingdom of Greece attacks.

The Kingdom of Italy and the Kingdom of Greece immediately called the Kingdom of Spain, hoping that the Kingdom of Spain could send troops to capture Gibraltar, but the Kingdom of Spain categorically rejected the request of the Kingdom of Italy and the Kingdom of Greece out of consideration of its own interests.

Britain and Germany joined forces to put pressure on the Kingdom of Spain, but the Kingdom of Spain refused to yield. A threat of bombing by the Chinese aircraft carrier fleet caused chaos in the south of the Kingdom of Spain. The Kingdom of Spain no longer dared to provoke China.

The Kingdom of Italy and the Kingdom of Greece had no choice but to send people to negotiate with China while preparing for defense, hoping to sign an armistice agreement with China.

In the matter of signing the armistice agreement, the Kingdom of Italy and the Kingdom of Greece split again. The main force that sank the Chinese Mediterranean Fleet was the Kingdom of Italy. The Kingdom of Greece did not participate. The Kingdom of Greece only detained a few ships of the Chinese Navy. The Kingdom of Greece Think that as long as they return the ship, China will let them go.

The two countries sent negotiations requests to Lin Yuan through their consulates in China. These two countries had embassies in China before the war and established diplomatic relations with China at the ambassadorial level. However, since the declaration of war with China, the two countries have One country recalled its ambassador to China and downgraded the embassy to a consulate.

Lin Yuan heard that the request for negotiation was made by the Kingdom of Italy and the Kingdom of Greece, so he didn’t even bother to meet their diplomats, so he ordered the director of the Department of Southern European Affairs of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to meet the diplomats of the Kingdom of Italy and the Kingdom of Greece.

The Department of Southern European Affairs of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is in charge of foreign affairs between China and the Kingdom of Portugal, the Kingdom of Spain, the Kingdom of Italy and the Kingdom of Greece. But not even the slightest emotion.

Before Gao Hongwei went to meet the diplomats of the Kingdom of Italy and the Kingdom of Greece, Lin Yuan called Gao Hongwei to his office, asked Gao Hongwei to sit down, and said with a smile: "Do you know what the diplomats of the Kingdom of Italy and the Kingdom of Greece are coming to talk to you about?" ?”

Gao Hongwei was seeing Lin Yuan for the first time, he was a little nervous, and his voice was a little trembling, "Report to Lin Shuai, I have already thought about it, the diplomats of the Kingdom of Italy and the Kingdom of Greece must have come to ask us not to attack the Kingdom of Italy and the Kingdom of Greece of."

"Their armistice conditions are definitely different. The conditions of the Kingdom of Italy are not easy to speculate, because the Kingdom of Italy sank several of our warships and killed more than 1 of our soldiers. We, China, are in your forest Under Shuai's rule, there has never been a time when ten thousand soldiers were lost in a single battle."

"As for the Kingdom of Greece, their conditions should be easy to guess. They will definitely return the seized Chinese warships, and then restore the relationship between the two parties to the original state."

Lin Yuan nodded in satisfaction, "Very well, you are right, the Kingdom of Greece has such an idea, and the Kingdom of Italy's idea is indeed not easy to guess, so how do you plan to deal with it?"

"Reporting to Lin Shuai, this is how I think about it. For the Kingdom of Greece, agree to their request. For the Kingdom of Italy, see what conditions they propose, and then respond flexibly."

Lin Yuan frowned slightly, Gao Hongwei stood up without waiting for Lin Yuan to speak, bowed his head and said apologetically, "Shuai Lin, if there is anything wrong with what this subordinate said, please enlighten me."

Lin Yuan saw Gao Hongwei's "deserving death" look, stood up with a smile, walked out of the table, patted Gao Hongwei on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "You don't have to be so nervous, sit down and talk slowly. "Lin Yuan said as he pulled up a chair and sat opposite Gao Hongwei. This move made Gao Hongwei feel extremely cordial.

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "You said you agreed to the request of the Kingdom of Greece. Does that mean that as long as the Kingdom of Greece returns the seized ships and personnel, the relationship between the Kingdom of Greece and us will be restored to the state before the war?"

"I think so."

"This won't work." Lin Yuan shook his head lightly, "It's too cheap for the Kingdom of Greece."

"Shuai Lin, what should we do, should we impose a military occupation on the Kingdom of Greece?"

Lin Yuan continued to shake his head and said with a smile, "Military occupation is also not acceptable."

"Then how to do it, Lin Shuai please tell me clearly." Gao Hongwei said and stood up again, Lin Yuan patted him on the shoulder again, and said with a smile: "You don't need to stand up, just sit and talk. You have to understand, In countries like the Kingdom of Greece and the Kingdom of Italy, domestic nationalist ideas have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, which means that any form of our military occupation will arouse strong resistance from the people."

"Therefore, we must not carry out military occupation of the Kingdom of Greece. Since military occupation cannot be implemented, political annexation is also impossible. Therefore, we must not turn the Kingdom of Greece into our own autonomous region."

"Shuai Lin, what should we do? Overthrow the government of the Kingdom of Greece, force the king to abdicate, and then support a new government?"

"It depends on the attitude of the people of the Kingdom of Greece towards the king. I don't know much about this matter. You should know the best. What is the attitude of the people of the Kingdom of Greece towards the king?"

"Shuai Lin, the king of the Kingdom of Greece is George I. This king is very talented, the people love him very much, and the newspapers and broadcasts are full of praise for him."

"Since this is the case, then don't overthrow this king. We will boil the kingdom of Greece to death by boiling frogs in warm water."
