Greece’s Roman Road - Chapter 282

“Greek-Roman Road (!

Both Constantine and Venizelos were offended by the Rothschild Bank’s offensive after Robert of the Rothschild Bank linked Greek loans to Jews in Greece.

At this point, Greece naturally can no longer seek bond issuance from Jewish banks like Rothschild.

In the end, the Greek government reached a cooperation with the British bank Barings.

Barings Bank accepted the entrustment of the Greek government to issue 8 million pounds of bonds in London with an annual interest of 8%.

The conditions of Barings Bank are much simpler. In the next basic design and construction of the Greek government, the mechanical equipment and materials that need to be purchased will be preferentially purchased by Barings Bank from the United Kingdom.

After the funding was in place, the Greek government under the leadership of Venizelos, the Greek government’s long-planned Macedonian development package, was officially launched.

The first is transportation, the construction of transportation facilities is the foundation of everything.

The Greek government transportation department immediately began planning the construction of transportation facilities in Macedonia.

On the railway side, the government plans to spend 3 million pounds to build a 1,000-kilometre network of main railway lines in Macedonia.

In the railway plan of the Greek government, the Macedonian railway network will be built with Thessaloniki City as the central city, and the Thessaloniki-Skopje Railway, Thessalonika-Sere-Kavala-Arabia will be constructed respectively. Alexandroupolis Railway Two main railways.

Among them, the Sa-Sat Railway connects North Macedonia with the coastal port of Thessaloniki, consolidating the Kingdom of Greece’s control over the North Macedonia region and the Balkan inland, enhancing Greece’s influence here.

The Sa-Ser-Ka-Ya railway will connect the territories along the North Aegean coast, strengthen Greece’s occupation of East Macedonia and Western Thrace, and promote economic development here.

After the successful planning and construction of the railway network in Macedonia, all parts of the Kingdom of Greece will be connected by railways. From the Peloponnese, the southernmost point of Greece, by train, you can go to any major city in Greece without any obstacles.

By then Thessaloniki will become the largest railway transportation hub in Greece.

The mileage of the main railway lines in Greece will also reach 6,000 kilometers.

In addition to the railway, the Greek government will invest 1.5 million pounds to build 3,000 kilometers of roads in Macedonia to promote economic and transportation development there.

In the field of agriculture, the right to purchase land in Macedonia and Western Thrace was fully opened to the people in Greece.

As long as a Greek citizen has the right to open up wasteland in Macedonia, as long as the area is less than two hectares and five hectares of inferior land such as mountains and hills, after five years of planting, these lands automatically become the private property of the cultivators.

In order to make the Macedonia region a major grain-producing area in Greece, the government has officially provided an agricultural subsidy of 30 drachma per mu to arable land for growing wheat and potatoes.

At the same time, it will increase the price subsidy for farmers to buy tractors and encourage people to use tractors for farming.

In the industrial sector, the Greek government will encourage companies in the Piraeus industrial zone to relocate to Thessaloniki.

The industrial area of ​​the port of Piraeus, near Athens, is currently the largest industrial area in Greece.

Due to the small area of ​​the plain near Athens and the lack of various resources, the industrial area of ​​Piraeus Port is highly dependent on the surrounding transportation facilities to transport industrial raw materials and commodities, resulting in more and more restrictions on the development of the industrial area, and the current development has reached a bottleneck. .

Secondly, the Piraeus industrial area is close to Athens, and a large amount of waste gas is discharged every day, which seriously affects the environment of Athens.

Thessaloniki is the new industrial center of Greece planned by the Greek government.

Thessaloniki is in line with the requirements of an industrial center in terms of geographical location and traffic conditions.

On August 11, 1913, Prime Minister Venizelos took the Macedonian development plan planned by the government department and came to report to Constantine.

“His Royal Highness, according to the plan, it will only take two years to see the effect. At that time, the preliminary development of Macedonia will be completed.”

“If the plan goes well, as long as the Macedonian plan is successful, Greece will be qualitatively improved in terms of agriculture and industry, and the country’s comprehensive strength will rise to a new stage.”

“At that time, according to the government’s plan, Thessaloniki will become the economic center and transportation center of Greece, while Athens will simply play the role of the political center,” Prime Minister Venizelos told Constantine about the future of Thessaloniki of bright prospects.

Constantine is naturally also very happy to see that the Macedonian development plan can be successfully realized.

In fact, the introduction of this plan was also stimulated by the previous Rothschild Bank incident.

The implementation of this plan will attract a large number of Greeks to settle near Thessaloniki, which is bound to dilute the Jewish influence there and consolidate the rule of the Greek government.

Originally, the government also had a plan to sell the Macedonian wasteland to the people and withdraw funds to ease the government’s financial pressure. Under the stimulus of Robert, Constantine and Venizelos agreed to open the Macedonian wasteland to the Greek people free of charge, even with money. Don’t, just to immigrate there quickly and prevent the Jews of Thessaloniki from getting bigger.

In terms of industry, a large number of companies in Greece will move to Thessaloniki City, and naturally a large number of workers will follow to settle down.

Moreover, around Thessaloniki, there are a lot of mineral resources,

The effect of agricultural measures to attract people is even better.

It is foreseeable that once the news of encouraging Macedonia to open up wasteland is announced, a large number of Greeks will move to the surrounding areas of Macedonia in order to obtain free land to reclaim the land.

There is no doubt that after the implementation of the plan, the influx of a large number of industrial and agricultural people will greatly accelerate the speed of Greece’s development of the Macedonia region.

“I see no problem. Your government can implement the Macedonian development plan as soon as possible.” Constantine applauded Prime Minister Venizelos after reviewing the planning materials on the table in detail~www.mtlnovel.com~ Junshi The reason why Tandin agreed that the government should increase its efforts to promote the implementation of the Macedonian development plan as soon as possible was due to the urgent consideration of time. At this time, it was already 1913.

There is not much time left for Greece to develop and digest the war profits.

In the original time and space, after the Greek government united with Serbia, successfully defeated Bulgaria, and won the ownership of Thessaloniki, there was no time to develop Macedonia. war.

After the outbreak of World War I, the whole of Europe was involved in the war. Even the countries that did not participate in the war for the time being were trembling with fear, and the Greek government was even less likely to pay attention to the development of the Macedonia region.
