Greece’s Roman Road - Chapter 255

When everyone heard that the output in the fiefs would give priority to the army’s purchase orders, they naturally agreed.

Armament Minister Giannis suddenly reminded: “His Royal Highness, in three days, there will be a national strategic research meeting, on the feedback requirements of the army’s grass-roots units, and purchase more aircraft from France for battlefield reconnaissance and artillery calibration.”

Hearing Giannis’ request to buy the plane again, Constantine was indifferent, but he couldn’t refuse directly.

Hearing Emai Nur’s voice, Cantoriotis of the navy was immediately attracted to his attention: “The navy also needs some new warships. I heard that the submarines newly developed by Germany are very advanced and can Surface ships pose a great threat”

Before Cantoriotis finished speaking, Constantine shook his hand and interrupted: “Okay, okay, you two, three days later will be the day of the National Strategic Research Conference, when the top military and political leaders of Greece will gather. Together, you don’t need to worry now”

Cantoriotis and Giannis looked at each other a lot, and they were a little unfinished, but the crown prince didn’t want to discuss this matter at this time, so he had to give up.

Of the two, Giannis, who is the Minister of Armament, naturally stood on the side of the Army, supported the Army’s request, allocated more military spending to the Greek Army, increased technical weapons, improved the strength of the Army, and responded to the imminent threat of the Bulgarian Army.

Cantoriotis, the commander of the navy, advocates investing more funds in the navy to consolidate the position of the Greek navy in the Eastern Mediterranean and improve its ability to influence the surrounding waters.

It’s just that the government’s finances are limited after all, and there is simply not enough military spending to meet the requirements of the navy and army at the same time.

The two have argued several times before Prime Minister Venizelos.

……..

After the banquet, Constantine and Sophie stood side by side in front of the manor and watched everyone’s carriage leave.

“As the supreme commander of the army, shouldn’t you be more worried about the Bulgarian military now? Why do you have time to care about agriculture?” Sophie turned her head and looked at her husband.

“Soldiers have to eat their stomachs before they can fight.” Constantine stretched his waist and said.

……..

On June 17, 1913, in the meeting room of the Plaza Palace.

King George and Constantine sat in front of each other and co-chaired the meeting.

In front of the long square table, the government ministers headed by Venizelos and the military generals headed by Emanuel Inur were lined up on both sides.

“Everyone, I called everyone to participate in the meeting today. The purpose should be known to everyone. Today, we mainly discuss the national strategic issues that are in line with Greece’s actual situation, and use the strategy to guide Greece’s future national military, politics and diplomacy,” King George said first.

“In view of the successful experience of major countries in the world, a suitable and correct national strategy is of great significance”

Previously, the Greek state was weak and had internal and external troubles. It had always faced severe threats from foreign countries. It had always been exhausted and extremely passive. There was no national strategy at all.

At present, Greece, although there are still many hidden worries, can be regarded as gaining a firm foothold in the Balkans.

“Looking at the world’s major powers, in the process of their rise, they are trying their best to implement their national strategies, so what is Greece’s strategy?” Constantine said.

In the process of rising, all countries in the world have practiced national strategies that fit their own realities, and spared no effort to implement them.

Such as Britain’s “glorious isolation” policy and the “balance of power policy” adopted on the European continent.

It can be said that the United Kingdom can rise and successfully become the world’s maritime and economic hegemony. The wise and effective national strategy of the British is a great contribution.

The European Continental Equilibrium Policy allows European countries to entangle and balance each other in order to maintain their independent European status.

It can be said that this policy has benefited the UK a lot.

During the Seven Years War, the British who watched from the other side, under the guidance of such a policy, made a lot of money.

On the one hand, Britain waved banknotes and sponsored Prussia to fight the three major powers of Europe, France, Austria-Hungary, and Russia at the same time.

On the other hand, the United Kingdom, relying on its powerful navy, went to war with the French colonies overseas and robbed the French colonies.

It was the Seven Years’ War that cost France most of its overseas colonies.

In 1763, the Treaty of Paris was signed, allowing France to give up the ownership of Canada and New Orleans; the French colony of India only retained 5 poor trading stations; in the West Indies, France retained only Guadeloupe and Horses. Tinick.

Looking at the history later, after the seven-year war, France completely lost its ability to compete with Britain for overseas colonies.

Especially the loss of India put France at a complete disadvantage in the competition with Britain.

The United Kingdom, which got India, has the strong capital to dominate the world, and it is called the British Empire.

It can be said that without the European Equilibrium and Glorious Policy, there would be no British Empire.

As for Germany, it is Bismarck’s continental equilibrium policy.

Prussia was able to unify Germany also thanks to the leadership of Bismarck, a strategist.

In the Prussian-Austrian War, the Prussian army had the opportunity to attack Vienna, and Mao Qi strongly demanded to attack Vienna, while Bismarck was keenly aware of the trouble that this move would bring to Prussia~www.mtlnovel.com~ refused this request .

As for Russia, since Peter the Great, Russia’s strategy has been to revolve around the estuary and expand to the sea.

Afterwards, Russia, according to the strategic concept formulated by Peter the Great, expanded to Western Europe in the west, the Black Sea region in the southwest, and the Pacific region in the east.

From a historical point of view, the later Soviet Union also pursued this expansionary policy.

The U.S. strategy, akin to Britain’s glorious isolation, later turned to the Monroe Doctrine.

America’s political elites have long understood one thing – don’t get involved in troubles in Europe.

Adams warned Congress in 1780: “Don’t entangle the United States and the European powers. The exchanges between the two sides are limited to commerce, not politics, let alone war.”

As the strength of the United States increased, Monroe, the fifth president of the United States, called out the Monroe Declaration, which was also the beginning of Americans seeing America as their back garden.

As for Japan, it is a “Brexit into Asia” strategy.

Hanging with these countries in Asia, there is no future, learning from European and American powers, and reforming to become stronger.

Taken together, the correct and realistic national strategies have indeed played an incomparably important role in the rise of these great powers.
