Looking at the sad-faced Cantoriotis, Constantine didn't know how to comfort him. Although the Italian army was not worth mentioning, the Italian navy was indeed a real power level. No longer an order of magnitude.

"Since the war between Italy and Ottoman Turkey is imminent, Greece should be ready to deal with it. Prime Minister Alexandros, the government departments will inform the people of this news, and, in order to ensure the food security of Greece, the newly established The grain reserve department must ensure that enough grain is stored, and the Italian military action will definitely affect the shipping in the Eastern Mediterranean," Constantine reminded Alexandros Road.

After the meeting, everyone left the conference room one after another, except for Constantine, King George, and Prime Minister Alexandros, who stayed in place.

Seeing that the meeting room was quiet again, Alexandros calmed down his turbulent mood and said to King George: "Your Majesty, it has been more than ten years since I took up the post of Prime Minister in 1897. Thanks to His Majesty's grace, As well as the unremitting efforts of the people, Greece's economic development has been stable in recent years."

Speaking of this, Prime Minister Alexandros' voice was a little hoarse and choked: "In recent years, when dealing with official business, I often feel low energy, probably because of my advanced age."

Hearing the old prime minister say this, Constantine couldn't help but look carefully, and saw that the prime minister was indeed old-fashioned: his hair was gray, his face was full of wrinkles, and his back was a little hunched.

Constantine thought: This Prime Minister is 72 years old!

"The recent development of the situation in Europe has made me, a person who is not familiar with diplomatic work, feel very tired. If nothing else happens, Europe will go through a period of turmoil. I have neither the energy nor the ability to continue to lead Greece to deal with this situation. There's a storm"

After saying this, Alexandros was relieved and was able to free himself from burdening the government affairs of a country.

"What Greece needs is a new prime minister who can handle the chaos"

Alexandros has been in power for more than ten years. Whether it is from the political and economic considerations of Greece or from the international situation, Greece should indeed have a new prime minister.

"Prime Minister Alexandros has outstanding political achievements. During his tenure in office, Greece's domestic economy has developed rapidly and its politics has been stable. The Greek people know about your contribution, Prime Minister," King George praised, but he did not pretend to shirk his retention.

Different from other periods, probably due to the smooth economic development of Greece, Prime Minister Alexandros, who successfully implemented reforms, has been firmly on the throne of Prime Minister for more than ten years, effectively ensuring the long-term continuation of Greek policies.

Prior to this, the political arena in Greece has always been known for frequent changes of prime ministers. The term of office is only one or two years long, and the short term may be only a few dozen days.

"Prime Minister Alexandros, who do you think should take over the position of Prime Minister?" Constantine asked.

Although Constantine himself was more optimistic about Venizelos, Constantine's confidence in Venizelos was more derived from the deeds of this person in the original history, although during the contact and inspection, this person was in diplomatic and He was indeed brilliant politically, but Constantine didn't dare to make any promises about his suitability to lead Greece in a time of great turmoil in Europe.

"Venizelos is suitable," Alexandros said without hesitation.

King George said calmly, "Can you tell me why?"

"Firstly, Venizelos is very prestigious in the Liberal Party of the parliament. If he is the new prime minister, the Greek parliamentarians will not object; secondly, Venizelos is good at diplomatic work and has a keen eye on the international situation. Over the next period of time, Greece really needs someone who is proficient in diplomacy to help Greece integrate itself among European countries for maximum benefit. Greece has never needed a diplomat prime minister like it does now.” Alexandris said without hesitation.

Although he doesn't say it, in fact, Alexandros is very proud of his ability to serve as prime minister for more than ten years, implement economic and political reforms, and allow Greece to develop steadily and rapidly for a long time.

During his tenure in office, Alexandros basically paid off the huge foreign debt left by his predecessor (Terry Kupis) who invested heavily in infrastructure construction.

Alexandros naturally prefers to see Greece, which has gathered his efforts for more than ten years, in the hands of a capable helmsman.

Although according to the current rules of the game in Greek politics, the prime minister of Greece is elected by the parliament, the influence of the royal family on the candidate of the prime minister is unquestionable. Even if the influence of the royal family in the parliament is not mentioned, according to the constitution, the king himself has the right to forcibly appoint the prime minister.

In addition, Crown Prince Constantine led the Greek army to defeat the Ottomans in the last war. The royal family's prestige in Greece is unprecedented. Both the parliament and the people respect the royal family very much.

Seeing Alexandros' lonely back and disappearing at the door, King George faced Constantine and sighed: "The storm is coming, Greece needs a strong prime minister at this time, since Alexandros also recommended Pooh. Zelos, I think he will be the next prime minister."

On June 28, 1911, after the election of the Greek Parliament, the former Greek Foreign Minister and Liberal Venizelos was elected as the new Prime Minister of Greece.

 

The Italian government is facing an unprecedented opportunity - the major European powers are caught in sharp contradictions, and the crisis between Britain, France and Germany caused by the Moroccan issue is fierce~lightnovelpub.net~ It feels impatient.

Since Italy was unified in 1861, after decades of development, there is a strong desire for colonial expansion, especially for North Africa, which is across the Mediterranean Sea.

In order to prepare for the annexation of Tripolitania and Cyrenaica, from 1880 to 1911, Italy continued to immigrate and dispatch merchants to the two places, to purchase land, and to actively expand its power;

They sent naval officers to change into fishermen's clothes to conduct coastal surveys in the name of catching sponges off the coast of Tripolitania; they instructed Italian Catholic priests to go deep into the interior to collect intelligence in the name of missionary missions.

Learning from its failure in Ethiopia in 1896, Italy is constantly watching for timing.

When the second Moroccan crisis occurred, Italy believed that if it did not act, it would lose the opportunity, so it used the pretext of the unfair treatment of Italians in Tripolitania and Cyrenaica to preempt and rush to send troops to North Africa in Turkey. Before the occupation of Libya.

On September 28, 1911, the Greek ambassador to Rome informed Athens that Italy had issued an ultimatum to the Ottoman Empire, asking the Ottoman Empire to recognize Libya as an Italian territory.

Since then, European countries have not focused on the Moroccan crisis, but instead have been attracted by the territorial conflict between Italy and the Ottoman Empire.
