Volume 12 Prelude to the Great War Chapter 81 Barriers
Among the neighboring countries of Ten Empires, Greece's ancient field is the most intimate. Although Greece and Turkey are both NATO members and both founding members, the relationship between the two countries has always been very tense... To be honest, if it were not on the "frontier zone." If it were not for the "frontier zone" bordering the former Warsaw Pact countries, the conflict between Greece and Turkey would have risen to war as early as the Blade Century. In fact, as early as the Second Episode Century, there had been military conflicts between Greece and Türkiye.
Greece and Türkiye have two main contradictions: one is the territorial and territorial sea dispute, and the other is the Cyprus issue.
Relatively speaking, there is still a small contradiction between territorial and territorial waters.
Over the past few years, with the joint efforts of NATO allies such as the United States and Britain, the territorial and territorial waters dispute between Greece and Turkey has been basically resolved. By the century, there were mainly disputes between the two countries over some cross-sea fishing.
The Cyprus issue is the real cause of the discord between Greece and Türkiye.
To trace back to history, humans lived on the island of Cyprus as early as the New Year of the Year. In the following thousands of years, Cyprus was conquered, either annexed, or colonized by the Egyptian Empire, Persian Empire, Roman Empire, Byzantine Empire, Ottoman Turkey Empire, and British Empire. It was not until the early 1960s that after obtaining the guarantee and support of Britain, Greece and Turkey, that Cyprus broke away from British colonial rule and declared independence. Only 3
After the New Year, armed conflict broke out between the Greeks and Turkish people in Cyprus, and then UN peacekeeping forces arrived. With the support of the Turkish government, the Turkish people in Cyprus established a separate "administrative authority" and then launched a military coup. Turkey sent troops to Cyprus in the name of "guarantee country", occupied the territory of the northern Zhuo, and moved all the Turkish residents northward. Forcing the approximately Old Wanxi people to move south. Since then, the Republic of Cyprus has been in a state of separatism for a long time.
It can be seen from this that the Cyprus issue is actually a problem between Greece and Türkiye.
In this island country with less than a thug and a fierce area, the Greeks occupied Gong, and the Turks occupied 2. The other gills were Armenia, Maron and Latin. After Turkey sent troops to Cyprus, in addition to the land of the blade being controlled by the Tu people, the land was controlled by the Serbian government controlled by the Greeks, and there were three other lands that were two sovereign bases in Britain.
Judging from the geographical location seven, Cyprus has great significance for Türkiye that it cannot be abandoned.
Although Turkey controls the entire Asia Minor, has a bridgehead on the European continent, controls the Bosphorus Strait in and out of the Black Sea, the Marmara Sea and the Dardanelles Strait, while Greece controls almost the entire Aegean Sea, Turkey has not many estuaries. Just look at Turkey's map. Except for the Antalya Bay, Mersing Bay and Iskendelon Bay, Turkey's coastline is almost exposed to Greece, and the three bays to the south are facing Cyprus. In other words, if Cyprus falls into the hands of Greece, Turkey will completely lose its estuary. Because the historical grievances of the two countries are very deep comparable to those of the Republic and Japan, even if they are NATO members, and the Greek country is small, the Turkish authorities have to have some concerns.
In fact, even during the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, Turkey's main task was to withstand the Red Empire in the north. The main force of the Turkish Navy was not placed in the direction of the Black Sea, but was deployed in Antalya, Ichel and Iskendron in the south, and focused on the construction of these three military ports.
In order to ensure the safety of the southern estuary, when the Greece-Terry Cyprus military coup and was preparing to eradicate the Turkish regime that established its own doorstep, Turkey ignored serious consequences and sent troops to block Lus. It was at this time that Greece and Turkey fought a small-scale war in Cyprus, but neither side made it public.

It can be said that the Turkish authorities are a bit too tough on the Cyprus issue.
From a development perspective, Türkiye is somewhat less worthy of its gains.
Since Kemal launched a military coup, Turkey, which was established on the ruins of the Ottoman Empire, was like Japan, which had just begun Meiji Restoration, and began to fully westernize. Since then, the Turkish authorities have unswervingly implemented Western policies and aimed at entering the Western world as their ultimate goal. The problem is that Turkey is not Japan, and has not become a developed country like Japan.
After joining the NATO Group, Türkiye has been working hard to do one thing, that is, "leaving Asia and entering Europe."
Although, in terms of geographical location, Turkey is a typical Asian country. After all, the land above the Mian is on the Asian continent. Among the provinces, there are only Edirne, Kerclareli, Tekilda, and part of Canakkale and Istanbul are in Europe, under the influence of the comprehensive westernization policy, the Turkish authorities have been actively striving to become European countries by relying on "based in Europe". Not to mention anything else, in FIFA, Turkey is divided into Europe, which is more difficult to qualify, rather than Asia, which is more likely to appear.
In a sense, joining the NATO group is also part of Türkiye's westernization policy.
The problem is that the United States is too far from Türkiye.
During the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, Turkey benefited from its unique geographical location, not only received attention from the United States, but also received help from many European allies. Otherwise, the Turkish authorities would not have sent troops to Cyprus. After the end of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, Turkey's strategic position plummeted. Because of the influence of the Kurdish issue, the Turkish authorities did not actively support the United States during the period of Iraq, and they had a quarrel with Greece on the Cyprus issue. By the beginning of the century, Turkey had become a child that grandma did not love and grandma did not love. Although with the rise of the Republic and the United States began to value Turkey again, European countries did not continue to tolerate the barbaric descendants of Turks.
Until the year of Kiss, Türkiye was an observer state of the EU, not a member state.
Ultimately, Greece firmly opposes Turkey's entry into the alliance. More importantly, Greece has made full use of the Cyprus issue and allowed other EU member states, such as Britain, which has been secretly assisting Turkey, to support Turkey's entry into the alliance in formal occasions, and it is even more impossible to openly oppose Greece in the EU.
What's even more terrifying is that the Monthly thugs Japanese Cyprus became a member of the EU.
Although according to the standards set by the EU, if you want to join the alliance, all external disputes must be resolved first, Cyprus's problems are internal affairs. Moreover, all EU countries, including the UK, only recognize the Greek Cyprus government. In fact, only Turkey recognizes the Turkish Cyprus regime, so no country has reason to oppose Cyprus' entry into the alliance. In this case, if Türkiye wants to join the EU, it has to withdraw its troops from Cyprus.
Because the Cyprus issue has become the main reason that blocks Turkey's entry into the alliance, most EU member states are not so polite on some secondary issues, such as the Kurdish issue. Not to mention, Germany and France have repeatedly refused to provide arms to Turkey, because the reason is that Turkey sends troops to Cyprus Turkey is the guarantor of Cyprus and has the right to station troops in Cyprus, but that the Turkish authorities have not resolved domestic ethnic conflicts.
In short, Türkiye has not taken the easy path of "Westernization".
Compared with Türkiye, Greece's situation is actually not much better.
Mu Yong doubted that Greece has a history and culture that is enough to make anyone envious, but in reality, Greece is a country that is not humble, weak or even backward.
In the words of some Western critics, Greece is a poor boy among a group of rich men.
In the wealthy European region, Greece is indeed a very poor country. Even if it is not measured, Greece is not a developed country. Because what Greece relies on for survival is not a perfect industrial system, but a tourism industry. To be honest, after the century, more than half of the Greeks had to live on the legacy left by their ancestors thousands of years ago. As long as tourists decreased by 20%, Greece's unemployment rate would break through to its old brother.
It is precisely because of this that in the financial crisis that broke out in the early century, that is, in the financial crisis in Li Nian, Greece became the first EU country to arrive. The load-bearing sovereign debt crisis not only caused the euro exchange rate to dive, but also caused Greece to encounter an unprecedented social crisis. This crisis eventually led to the Greek left-wing regime winning the election and becoming the first country in the euro zone to have political turmoil due to the financial crisis. In a sense, France, Germany and Italy accelerated the process of military integration and political integration in Europe after the old year. It was related to the euro exchange rate crisis caused by the Greek sovereign debt crisis, especially the financial group on Wall Street in the United States, which played a major role in this crisis. The US authorities have a close relationship with the suppression policy of Europe, and even the direct driving force for Europe to move towards unification.
To put it directly, Greek religion; let European countries understand the meaning of the saying "comrades are unreliable".
With the United States dominant, it is not only the third world countries, but also emerging economies such as the Republic, but also "developed countries clubs" like the EU. The sober European countries have developed a stronger sense of independence and autonomy, otherwise France, Germany and Italy will not take on the burden of the integration process and become the three carriages that promote Europe toward unification.
Greece, who has woken up, no longer regards the United States as a real ally.
From the old age of the century to the end of the Blade era, the Greek authorities have been actively improving relations with the Republic. Although in the eyes of most people, the Greek authorities wanted to win hundreds of millions of potential tourists from this developed country that was about to surpass the United States and had the largest population, providing job opportunities to millions of Greeks. In fact, this is true. After the Republic reached a RMB-Euro exchange agreement with the EU in the past year, the Republic became the largest source of tourists in Greece. The number of citizens of the Republic traveled to Greece that year had more than 10,000 jobs, and nearly euro tourism income. However, the Greek government's long-term plan was definitely not based on tourism. No strong country in history became stronger by tourism.
For Greece, an industrial system, especially a cutting-edge industrial system, appears to be extremely important
.
Compared with other EU member states, especially the most developed member states, Greece has a very enviable advantage, that is, its higher fertility rate. Mom Yong doubted that this is a huge advantage that can make any developed country envy. By Li Nian, Greece's population had increased from the beginning of the century to the ten thousand, and during this period, the population of France decreased from ten thousand to the ten thousand, Germany decreased from ten thousand to the ten thousand, and the population of Britain decreased from ten thousand to ten thousand. It is precisely this way, in Qu Nian, there were about ten thousand Greek workers working in other EU countries.
The large-scale export of labor is definitely not a country's long-term solution.
Strictly speaking, the discount address of this site has been changed to: 8, please log in to read!, Zhou Pila is just a temporary solution to social problems. If this continues, "There will bring very serious social problems. Not to mention, because workers remit thousands of euros in income every year, the prices in Greece have remained high. Although this is also related to the Greek authorities' development model of tourism-based development, after all, foreign tourists who are high in Greece, especially tourists outside the EU, are willing to spend money, but overseas remittance is a more stable income and a national income that will not bring any taxes to the government. Excessive prices will definitely intensify social conflicts and make the people who are not wealthy bear greater unfairness.
In the long run, if Greece wants to become a truly developed country, it must work hard on its own industrial construction.
The United States is definitely not reliable, and other EU member states are not much better. Before Greece, Poland, which also exports a large number of labor, has suffered a great loss. Polish religion told the Greek authorities that "most developed countries" such as France, Germany and Italy will not sincerely help backward allies, but will only try to make use of the labor force of Greece and other countries; through the aging period of population, ensure that the main website address of the EU has been changed to: Defense 8, please log in to read!
Of course, there are not many good teaching materials around Greece.
Egypt across the Mediterranean and Romania in the north are both positive textbooks. Both countries began to industrialize in the 1990s. They established a relatively complete industrialization system in the middle of the era of the blade, and had their own advantageous fields. Yijin became a major manufacturing country in North Africa and the Middle East, and the other became an industrial production base in Eastern Europe.
These two countries have one thing in common, that is, from the very beginning, they have placed industrialization on the republic.
This is why since the early days of its existence, the Greek authorities have been actively approaching the Republic and have sent government delegations to the Republic to attract investment many times. I hope that the Republic authorities can actively encourage high-tech enterprises to invest in Greece and enter the EU field with Greece as a base.
I have to admit that the Greek authorities are very good at picking time.
At that time, the Great Depression Network broke out, and the Republic was the least affected. Many powerful Republican companies were undergoing strategic expansion. If they could successfully land in Greece, they could regard Greece as a bridgehead for entering the EU market. In fact, in order to avoid the trade barriers that Europe wanted, many companies in the Republic took this opportunity to open branches in Greece, and then used Greece as a breakthrough to dump products into the EU market. It was precisely this way. During the Great Depression, the EU did not fight a trade war with the Republic with the United States, but used the trade war between the Republic and the United States. Similarly, because Republican companies could use Greece to trade re-export and enter the European market, so the thugs After 2011, the EU Council officially approved the euro-renminbi swap agreement, which opened the door for Republican companies to enter Europe.
Since the New Year, it has been not just tourists from the Republic to visit Greece.
Because Greece has sufficient labor and is relatively cheap, after the EU has successively issued several trade bills for imported products. Republican enterprises have opened factories in Greece, expanding market share through local production, and avoiding the EU's severe trade bill. By the end of the Great Depression, Republican enterprises had invested nearly 400 million euros in Greece, opened tens of thousands of enterprises, and created millions of jobs. By the years, the number of Greek workers working in other EU countries has reduced to the thug Tian Wan. In this year, Greece's per capita national output value and per capita disposable income exceeded France and Italy, and officially entered the developed country tour
.
Mu Yong doubted that the Republic's enterprises played an important role in the transformation of Greece.
According to reports from some European news media, by the time, the investment of republic enterprises in Greece had already accounted for the total investment in Greek society. More than 6 times the Greeks had direct or indirect relations with republic enterprises. The Zhao family among the most influential Greek Tianjia companies was controlled or held by republic enterprises. Mi in the main industries of Wu Ge was controlled by republic enterprises.
.
All in all, the Greek authorities have close ties with the Republic more than any other member of the EU.
It is precisely this that the EU is extremely ambiguous on many international issues. Although the republic authorities never admit that they have the ability to influence the Greek government, in the eyes of most people, when more than half of the Greek voters have relationships with the Republic's enterprises, the Greek authorities will definitely take the interests of the Republic to heart.
After the Kurdish crisis broke out, it was not the Republican authorities who acted first, but Greece.
.
Of course, the Greek Deputy Foreign Minister's visit to Beijing as the special envoy of the head of state was not made public, and the Republic's ambassador to Greece submitted a letter of state to the Greek authorities on June 19, was widely reported.
In the eyes of the US news media, it was the influence of the Republic that made the Greek authorities reluctant to fulfill their obligations as NATO allies.
What makes the US authorities even more difficult is that at this critical moment, the United States cannot be too tough and is even more unlikely to threaten Greece.
For the US Assistant Secretary of State who was urgently visiting Athens, it is almost impossible to make the Greek authorities realize the importance of the United States and change their minds on key issues. Especially when European countries have successively expressed their views that they do not intend to shed blood for Türkiye, Greece has no reason to take the American chariot.
