Volume 12 Prelude to the Great War Chapter 82 Diplomatic War

The Assistant Secretary of State of Cocoa arrived in Athens several hours before he arrived in Athens, France. The old man who arrived in advance visited the Greek Prime Minister.

Because the Ministry of Defense of the Republic is gradually releasing the battle reports on the fierce day, Yan, the deputy foreign minister of the two countries, did not attract much media attention in Athens.

In fact, Western news media know that the United States’ experience in Greece can only be said to be self-inflicted.

After World War II, it was a mistake for the United States to bring together Greece and Turkey, two conflicting countries for its own national interests. History has proved that the identity of a member of the NATO group failed to change the relationship between Greece and Turkey, but instead caused the problem to be complicated.

What really led to the separation of the United States and Greece was the financial crisis of 2019.

Although according to the propaganda of Western news media, the 8-year financial crisis was caused by the greedy financiers on Wall Street, many economists complained about Wall Street financiers many years ago, that is, after the Great Depression caused by the financial crisis in Limen, claiming that the 8-year financial crisis was actually handled by energy interest groups that are closely related to the US government. You should know that the family of US President Bush, who launched the Afghan War and Iraq War and left the White House after the 2009 financial crisis, made his fortune by oil.

According to a relatively reliable statement, as early as during the reign of Bush, that is, before and after the end of the Cold War of the United States and the Soviet Union, the US energy interest groups were very dissatisfied with the situation in the Gulf region. Although the United States could not deal with the high morale Iran at that time, it was not difficult to deal with the end of Saddam. With the support of the Energy Group, Bush personally authorized uranium to provide false information and other means to make Saddam believe that the United States would not take action against Iraq's annexation of Kuwait, which led to Saddam sending himself to the gallows when the Cold War was about to end.

Using Iraq to capture Kuwait, Bush, the Sr., sounded the clarion call to enter the "post-Cold War era" with the extremely gorgeous Gulf War War era. Perhaps the most unexpected thing about the US energy interest groups was that the Soviet Union actually rushed to the bottom before Bush ran for president again. American voters who were tired of the Cold War did not give Bush the triumphant Bush much face and sent Clinton, Democrat from Little Rock, Arkansas, to the White House.

The appearance of Clinton only delayed the arrival of the crisis. In the second year of the election, Bush Jr., with his father's will, became the first president in American history to not receive the support of the majority of voters in an unlucky election. The information leaked by Si Zai Li in the past year shows that the thugs that shocked the world were themselves a conspiracy planned by uranium. To be precise, it has an inseparable relationship with uranium, because as early as a few months ago, Si intercepted relevant information and knew that the terrorist organization was training pilots and preparing to create a shocking terrorist attack on the United States. With Si's strength, it is not difficult to stop the terrorist organization's attacks. The key is whether to do it or not.

It must be admitted that Bush did what he had done in his old age, pushed Saddam to the guillotine, and helped the American energy interest groups control the world oil depot. Although Bush did not do it thoroughly, it was not until the end of his life that Republican President Frederick allowed the US military to invade Iran, and finally withdrew the US troops deployed in the Gulf region back to the country in a very disgraceful way, Bush can definitely be regarded as a very important president in the history of the Republican Party. From him, the Republican Party became the spokesperson for major American interest groups.

It was also him that triggered the financial crisis that was shocked.

Putting aside all superficial phenomena, the Gulf War has laid the root of the Lie Nian's financial crisis.

As Bush Jr. entered the White House, the United States fought with Iraq in Afghanistan and used trillions of dollars to help the US energy group push oil prices to the peak of four dollars per barrel, and the financial crisis could no longer be avoided. In a sense, the main reason for the financial crisis that was ruined by the year was that the US federal government spent trillions of yuan on the war. Without being convinced by taxpayers, the US authorities could only collude with Wall Street financiers to raise war funds by speculating on real estate, issuing financial derivatives and bonds, etc., and eventually shearing the sheep around the world in the form of a financial crisis, allowing the whole world to act as a world policeman for the United States and dominate the energy interests.

Mu Yong doubted that all countries except the United States are victims.

In a sense, it was the financial crisis of 2019 that led to a drastic change in the global landscape several years later. The Republic seized a rare opportunity, gained the strength to compete with the United States, broke the pattern of dominance, and eventually formed a situation where two strong people compete for hegemony.

In fact, as a small southern European country, Greece has almost nothing to do with competing for power.

The problem is that if the United States wants to shear the world, Greece will get mold.

Because in the early century, some Greek behaviors led to Turkey changing its strategy of relying entirely on the United States, which led to a lot of trouble during the Iraq War. Therefore, when planning global shearing, American interest groups regarded Greece as a breakthrough to attack the euro zone. It is precisely this that the Goldman Sachs Group in the United States actively helped the Greek authorities and allowed Greece to join the euro zone without meeting the standards. From a post-event perspective, Goldman Sachs' move was already preparing for the later detonation of the Greek sovereign debt crisis.

After the outbreak of the financial crisis, the United States adopted a policy of suppressing first and then leaning forward. The figure needs to suppress other high-quality currencies, including the singular signs, to let the United States... Angry Soseen's action of shearing the wool. In this case, the Greek sovereign debt crisis became the fuse to crack down on the euro.

From this perspective, Greece is just a pitiful victim. The address of this site has been changed to: I will be relieved and I will read it if you delete it!

In fact, if the United States stops at this time, Greece will not split its path with the United States. At least Greece's left-wing parties cannot monopolize power and must form a coalition government with the middle party, so that Greece's political transformation will not be thorough and leave room for future transformation.

The financial crisis of 8 years has hit almost all countries hard, and at the same time it has laid the root cause of the financial tsunami in Likou.

According to a well-recognized statement, the three major reasons that triggered the Great Depression, namely, the over-limit war between the Republic and Japan during the East China Sea War, the excess liquidity of the global financial market, and the serious over-productivity of the industrial power are all related to the financial crisis that was broken for the year. Therefore, the financial crisis in the crazy year was the fire of the Great Depression.

.

With the arrival of the Great Depression, the global economy suddenly entered a winter.

At this time, for many small countries, what they need most is a little heating.

The topic is that the United States did not provide enough help to many allies at this time. Because there are too many allies, the United States cannot take care of all allies when the Great Depression comes. According to an unsigned article published by Reuters at the beginning, when the Great Depression broke out, the U.S. federal government and the most important state government, and a major interest group, reached a secret agreement. When self-protection is very difficult, the United States' alliance policy must be adjusted, and the attitude towards allies is of severity. Of course, the neighbors must be taken seriously.

Allies, such as Canada, Mexico and Central and American countries, are followed by countries with significant influence and unswerving influence, such as the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand and the Philippines, and then countries with important strategic positions such as Turkey, Djibouti, Singapore and Spain, and finally allies like Greece. This is why, during the Great Depression, the United States did not adopt a equal trade policy. When opening its markets to Canada, Mexico and other countries, it set up trade barriers to allies such as Greece, blocking the goods of many countries outside the country's doors.

From the perspective of the United States, this differentiated policy is not wrong.

Strictly speaking, if the United States does not do this, it may have fallen before the Great Depression is over.

.

The problem is that this becomes the direct cause of force Greece to "transfer".

During the Great Depression, life for any country is not easy. For most small countries, all they need is a little bit of preferential trade policies. To be honest, whoever can let the most small countries taste the sweetness during the Great Depression will have the most allies after the Great Depression. Because it is concluded that relying on industrial structure adjustments and advanced technologies mastered by the power revolution can withstand the huge pressure brought by the Great Depression, leaders of countries such as Jijuguo will use the over-limit war with Japan to trigger a financial tsunami during the East China Sea War and bring the whole world into the Great Depression.

From this we can see that it is not that Greece is willing to lead the Republic to cooperate, but that it has to cooperate with the Republic.

When the Kurdish crisis broke out, Western news media pointed out that before the United States supports Turkey, it must first consider whether it can pass the Greece level. If it does not receive support from Greece, not only will the war spending increase a lot, but the US military forces participating in the war will also encounter more challenges. Not to mention, because it is impossible to use air bases in Greece, the US Air Force will either deploy fighter jets in Italy and Malta, thousands of kilometers away from Turkey, or deploy fighter jets in Turkey. The former will inevitably lead to a reduction in combat efficiency, while the latter will need to take greater risks.

Of course, few people have hope for the diplomatic efforts of the U.S. authorities.

According to a comment from Reuters, the United States should not require Greece to fulfill its ally obligations and open its military bases and territorial seas to the US military. After all, on major issues closely related to Greek interests, the United States has not done what an ally should do. For the United States, the best result is that Greece will not be affected by this war and will take any actions that are unfavorable to the United States during the war. Therefore, the United States should concentrate its efforts to stabilize Greece's sentiment without making excessive demands towards the Greek authorities.

As a news media in Western countries, it is very rare for Reuters to say this.

To put it bluntly, the US authorities should focus on guard against Greece not turning against the water at this time, rather than letting Greece bleed for Türkiye.

In fact, Reuters hit the nail on the head of the United States.

Although before the outbreak of the war, the US authorities had been asking Greece to fulfill its responsibilities as NATO allies to facilitate the US military heading to Turkey, during the formal contact between the two sides, American diplomats never formally made requests such as opening the border, and did not even ask the Greek authorities to provide military bases. They just hope that Greece could fulfill its minimum obligation, that is, to remain neutral.

Mo Yong doubted that this requirement was very low.

Even so, the attitude of the Greek authorities is still very ambiguous and has not given a positive reply to the United States.

It is precisely this that the US Assistant Secretary of State, who is responsible for European and North Africa, had to fly from Cairo to Athens on the day of the war and demanded a formal meeting with the Greek Prime Minister.

The problem is that the US Assistant Secretary of State is still one step slower.

Because the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic took the lead in Athens, the American assistant "after arriving at the Prime Minister's Office, he was taken to the reception room. He was not immediately ugly to Chang Dunxin."

After waiting for about the thug, the secretary of the Prime Minister's Office came to inform that the Prime Minister was about to make a speech through the TV station, so he asked the Assistant Secretary of State to return to the embassy and wait for further dissipation.

.The new address of this site has been changed to: Qingjigu, please log in to read!

No doubt, this is very impolite.

More importantly, this is a very clear hint.

On the way to the embassy, ​​the Assistant Secretary of State spoke to Mrs. Lobring on the phone, saying that the Greek authorities are likely to issue a very important statement immediately, and that Greece's diplomatic stance is likely to undergo drastic changes.

This warning is not very meaningful, and at most Mrs. Lobring is mentally prepared.

Athens time, about 4 minutes after the Assistant Secretary of State left the Prime Minister's Office, the Greek president made a television speech to the whole country through a television station, saying that the Greek government would submit a bill to the parliament to withdraw from NATO in accordance with the power granted by law. During the parliament's deliberations on the bill, Greece will recall its representatives to NATO headquarters and temporarily stop fulfilling its obligations by NATO member states.

In other words, the Greek government announced its withdrawal from NATO.

Although legally speaking, this is of practical significance to the Greek government only after the parliament’s approval, the Greek parliament is likely to pass the bill within a week when the alliance of left-wing parties controls nearly two-thirds of the seats in the parliament and the prime minister’s prestige is at its peak.

For the United States, this is perhaps the least unwilling result.

In fact, the United States can do nothing about it.

Before Greece, France had announced its withdrawal from the NATO group twice, once in the century, and once a few years ago. Although Mangla is not a big country like France. Without France's national strength and influence, as an independent country with equal status, the United States did not do anything about France and could not do anything about Greece.

In a sense, this statement from the Greek Prime Minister is not only directed at Türkiye.

As a military and political alliance organization born in the early days of the Cold War of the United States and the Soviet Union, the NATO Group became a tool for the United States to dominate the world from the day it was born. Although after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the NATO Group ushered in its most glorious period and almost controlled the entire European continent, in the early 1900s, the NATO Group began to break the road. Since the Fourth India-Pakistan War, because the relative strength of the United States dropped sharply and had to worry about international policies, the NATO Group's influence became weaker and weaker. After experiencing the heavy blows of the Great Depression, to the 1900s, as France announced its withdrawal again, the NATO Group was basically dead in name only.

Greece announced its withdrawal from the NATO group at this time, which was equivalent to breaking the last straw that was reincarnated.

Before the United States responded, the French authorities expressed their support for Greece's choice, actively welcomed Greece to play a greater role in European common defense, was willing to provide convenient conditions for Greece to participate in European common defense activities, and was willing to provide more assistance to Greece in military cooperation.

All in all, France no longer feels lonely.

Of course, the French authorities will definitely thank the Republic in secret. If there were no Republic's efforts, Greece would not have announced its withdrawal from the NATO group at this time. In fact, when reporting, it was boldly speculated that Greece's withdrawal from the NATO group was not the "credit" of the Republic, but the result of the secret cooperation between the Republic and France, even Germany and Italy, because after the French authorities made a statement, the German and Italian authorities also stated that they would consider building national security on the basis of European common defense to promote the process of EU political integration. The implication is that they are about to withdraw from the NATO group. According to analysis, in this shocking conspiracy, Greece has once again become a

With the tools in the hands of major powers, the benefit of France, Germany and Italy was that it shattered the dominant position of NATO group in European security affairs, and made the European Union-led European common defense system the only choice for collective security of European countries, thus providing the most solid foundation for EU political integration. The Republic has more benefits, one of which is to determine the quasi-alliance relationship with the EU, that is, under the premise of ensuring economic interests, the Republic will not seek military and political hegemony in Europe and even the Mediterranean region, while the EU gives the Republic the highest support for the hegemony around the Indian Ocean and other issues. Mu Yong doubts it. This is a conspiracy against the United States.

Anyway, this is definitely a disaster for the United States.

Although according to Mrs. Lobring's request, the US Assistant Secretary of State still visited the Greek Prime Minister that night, and made a very tactful statement that the Greek authorities should be more cautious about whether to withdraw from the NATO group and should not take such extreme measures. However, the US diplomatic efforts hit a wall again. The Greek Prime Minister did not make any promises or even had direct communication except to give the US Assistant Secretary of State the diplomatic etiquette he deserved.

In short, the Greek authorities have made decisions and will not repent.

At this time, the Deputy Foreign Minister of the Republic had already brought hard-won diplomatic results and took the hypersonic business plane of the Republic's authorities just purchased in batches. He left Athens and flew to Cairo.

Although no one thinks Egypt will flow into this muddy water, it does not mean that the Republic will not make diplomatic relations.

.

Obviously, the US Assistant Secretary of State Hideji, who had no gains in Athens, fell behind the Republic's Deputy Foreign Minister.
