Chapter 561 Only Russia is a kind person
At the beginning of the 20th century, there was no concept of East Asian monster houses, but this did not affect the combat effectiveness of the Goryeo servant army.
Korean people have a characteristic. When they do things alone, they usually have little confidence. Even when facing the Japanese, they are submissive and have no confidence.
Once they have a strong leader, the Koreans burst out with fighting prowess comparable to that of the Cossacks.
The officers of the Koryo Servant Army were all Cossacks.
The assassination of King George I is still remembered by Greeks.
The person who assassinated George I was a homeless man named Alexander Shinas.
According to Shinas, the reason he shot George I was because George I refused to give him money.
The Greek government’s explanation is that Sinas was drunk at the time.
This reason is obviously unconvincing, and many Greeks still insist that George I was murdered.
After the Koryo Servant Army entered Bulgaria, conflicts occurred from time to time with the border patrol of the Kingdom of Greece.
One day ago, under the pretext of a lost military dog, the Border Patrol of the Kingdom of Greece entered the Kingdom of Bulgaria to look for it, and clashed with the Korean servant army.
The Korean servant army took the initiative and used sticks to give the Greek soldiers a severe lesson. Although no one was killed, more than a dozen arms were broken.
George never expected that as time went by, the nickname "Mu Fengzi" would still be entangled with the Korean people.
Before George had time to deal with the matter, Constantine took the initiative to come to George's door to apologize, saying that he would withdraw the border patrol team and take the initiative to establish a five-kilometer demilitarized zone on the Greek-Bulgarian border.
This is a good idea.
Since the relationship between the two countries is not good, reducing the chance of contact between soldiers will naturally reduce the probability of conflict.
Although Constantine said it nicely in front of George, George learned the next day that the Kingdom of Greece would hire military instructors from Germany.
Constantin’s reason was that he hoped to improve the combat effectiveness of the Greek army through the rigorous training of German instructors.
Nicholas was very angry and summoned George and Nicholas Jr. to the Winter Palace to discuss how to solve the problem.
George doesn't know why there are always so many people in the world who don't know their own abilities.
Nicholas the Younger was cruel and suggested that Constantine be placed under house arrest in St. Petersburg and support Georgi on the throne.
"No, I can't do that."
Nicholas was very sad and didn't know why his relatives tended to Germany.
It is understandable that Valdemar is pro-German, after all, he is a German.
Constantine's only wife was the sister of William II. His mother was the Grand Duchess Olga Konstantinovna of Russia. The eldest sister married the Grand Duke Paul Alexandrovich of Russia. The third brother married Grand Duchess Elena Vladimilovna of Russia, the fourth sister married Grand Duke Paul Mikhailovich of Russia.
So many Russian relatives did not stop Constantine from defecting to Berlin.
It is precisely because of so many relatives that Nicholas cannot put Constantine under house arrest, otherwise Nicholas will become the target of public criticism.
"In any case, he is no longer suitable to be the king of the Kingdom of Greece."
George did not like Constantine, and his name made George feel uncomfortable.
"Constantine" means Constantine in Russian.
You are a Greek, why do you care so much about Constantinople?
“Yes, that’s what I mean.”
Little Nicholas means that I do too. Same.
"What are you going to do?" Nicholas didn't want bloodshed to happen.
This is actually not difficult to say.
The Kingdom of Greece has not been peaceful in recent years, with domestic coups, the assassination of the king, and rivalry with Bulgaria.
George is not so ruthless as to kill anyone he dislikes.
Constantine had a conflict with the Greek military, and George hoped to take full advantage of this.
Coincidentally, Greek military officers headed by Eleftherios Venizelos, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Greece, were also very dissatisfied with Constantine's invitation to German instructors.
In Greece, Venizelos is definitely an alternative. He organized an armed uprising against King George I in Crete in 1902. After the failure, he was forced to go into exile.
In 1909, the Greek Military Alliance launched a coup. George I and the Military Alliance reached a compromise, and Venizelos became the Prime Minister of Greece.
Due to the relationship between Germany and the Ottoman Empire, Venizelos strongly hated Germany and repeatedly requested to join the Allies, but was rejected by George I.
Under the auspices of Venizelos, the Kingdom of Greece was the only country that opposed a hasty end to the Balkan War. He hoped that the Balkan Alliance would completely overthrow the Ottoman Empire in one go.
Since Venizelos had a strong anti-German tendency, George naturally wanted to take advantage of it.
To be honest, George doesn’t even need to do this job himself.
Due to the conflict between the Greek Kingdom troops and the Goryeo servant army, Brusinov took the initiative to send a telegram to Venizelos, and Venizelos asked him to send a message to Dede Agach (Alexandru Poli). s) meet.
With the coordination of Venizelos, the meeting location was changed to Thessaloniki.
The reason why George did not go to see Venizelos in person was that British Lord of the Admiralty Winston Churchill was visiting before Joffre left.
The reason for Churchill's visit was also because of the arms race.
Don’t listen to the British shouting loudly: Germany will build one, and Britain will build two. It’s not bad to pay for one.
In fact, Britain has reached its limit, otherwise it would not have contacted Germany to discuss a plan to stop the arms race.
Churchill did not expect the Germans' attitude to be so tough. In Churchill's view, Germany was filled with war maniacs from top to bottom, and the only way to end the arms race was war.
Since the arms race could not be stopped peacefully, Churchill, like Joffre, hoped that the Russian Empire would take the initiative to join in and attack Germany with Britain.
George also had appeals to Britain.
Britain spends more than 90% of its military expenditures on the navy, and the army does nothing. George asked Churchill, if Germany attacks France or the Russian Empire from land, in what way will Britain attack France and Russia? The Empire helps?
We can’t drive the dreadnought to land.
“The United Kingdom has strong mobilization capabilities. Once war breaks out, the United Kingdom can complete mobilization as quickly as possible. We will besiege Germany from three directions and completely kill the Germans!”
Churchill's trip to Hamburg was not smooth, and his dislike of Germany reached its peak.
But that’s just saying it.
Although the war has not yet broken out, George can almost foresee that no matter who Germany fights, the other two countries will only cheer and cheer and will not take the initiative to attack Germany.
To put it bluntly, a dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist——
That’s not right. The Russian Empire in another time and space was tricked to death by the British in this way.
