In a city in Turkey, the inhabitants of the city are hiding in their rooms full of fear, enduring the sound of gunfire and even explosions outside...

Even if something did fall near their house, and the dust kept falling from the whole house, they didn't seem to have any other choice but to endure it.

If something really hits their house, there's nothing they can do but sigh for their bad luck...

However, when they looked outside, they couldn't help but look at some of the troops with hatred, and when they looked at the other, their eyes were full of hope and encouragement.

Even some residents who have weapons, such as rifles, will secretly shoot at the soldiers outside from the windows of their homes...

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Greco-Turkish War!

The so-called Greco-Turkish War of qu1ed was certainly not the rare earth war that had a lot to do with trade in later generations, but another more bloody and tragic war.

It has to be said that the contradictions between the Greeks and the Turks have existed for a long time. It was only for one reason or another that the Greeks had never been able to launch a large-scale attack on Turkey―――――― of course, the most important reason for this was the lack of strength, after all, no matter how corrupt the later Ottoman Turkish Empire was, it was a huge empire that once spanned the three big 6 of Europe, Asia and Africa, even at the end of the empire. It still holds a large amount of territory in Eurasia.

He may not be able to compare his strength with countries like Britain and France, but a country like Greece has not been able to pose any challenge to the Turks. This can be seen from the arms race before the First World War, when the Turks bought back two dreadnoughts from the British, while the Greeks bought back two decommissioned battleships from the Americans.

This shows the gap in national strength between the two countries, and the reason why the Turks still did not destroy the Greeks before the outbreak of World War I. This is not because of the strength of the Greeks, but simply because Greece has some strong allies, such as Britain or France.

Although these countries could not help the Greeks to destroy Turkey. There is no doubt about the recognition. In any sense of the word, they could not have allowed the Turks to destroy Greece.

So the hatred between the Greeks and the Turks was accumulating day by day...

Until the end of World War I, after Turkey fell apart...

After seeing what happened to the Turks. The Greeks understood. Here's their chance...

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Machine guns. Machine gun! Hold these damned Turks down for me!! ”

A Greek officer stood in his own position, watching the approaching Turkish soldiers, and couldn't help but shout loudly at the machine gunners on the side.

Nature. He certainly couldn't have straightened up like a 'hero', thinking that the Turks on the other side were blind, brandishing his command knife while making a heroic gesture that only some statues in ancient Greece could have―――――― in fact, there had been an officer who had done this before, and that officer had just been transferred from Greece, a young officer who had just been assigned to this unit as a commander not long ago.

Obviously, without any battlefield experience, he seems to regard this war as a child's play, so knowing that it is a war, he would rather straighten his back than curl up in a trench or position like other soldiers.

So, he died.

Killed by a single shot.

It's just that I don't know if he died under the sniper pistol of the Turks, or the guns of the Turkish residents around him―――――― or worse, he died under the black guns of his own people...

But no matter what you say, one thing is undoubted, and that is that he is dead!

Then, the officer who was originally his deputy was turned into a regular because there were not so many officers for the time being. And the first task of this officer after the conversion was to hold this position to the death, and he must not let the Turks on the opposite side take this position, and then open a breakthrough into the division of the Greek defenders.

"Give me a good fight, and we must not let these damned Turks take away even the slightest bit of land from us!"

Saying this, the officer's eyes were full of hatred as he looked at the Turks outside.

A thousand years later, well, maybe not that long, after all, the entire Ottoman Turkish Empire has not been established for a thousand years. But there is no doubt that in these years, when the Greeks and the Turks clashed with each other, it was usually the Greeks who suffered.

As for the Turks, even if Greece has the help of Britain and France, it is impossible to help the people destroy Turkey.

So over the years, the Greeks endured until they waited for their long-awaited opportunity―――――― the collapse of Turkey.

When Turkey collapsed, many countries were perhaps a little unconvinced. But while the Greeks were shocked, they felt as if they had found a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, a good opportunity to solve a long-cherished wish.

This is not surprising, after all, the situation in Turkey at that time was really not very good.

First of all, Iraq and other places in the south were almost completely occupied by the Wehrmacht, which was engaged in the Mesopotamian campaign at the time, and the Wehrmacht was still pushing northward in a vain attempt to occupy more land.

At the same time, the United Kingdom, along with a number of other countries, has also begun to establish a presence on Turkish soil6. In particular, Turkey's territory in Europe is almost occupied.

Wouldn't this be a godsend for the Greeks?

So a large number of Greek troops began to board the Turkish mainland6. In just a blink of an eye, the Greeks' troops had become the main force on this battlefield, and the British, who had long been exhausted in the First World War, seemed to be willing to let the Greeks play a greater role, so soon the Greeks became the protagonists of the Turkish battlefield.

In fact, the original Turkey was indeed a vast country, spanning Europe, Asia and Africa. But now there are only two places left in Europe and Asia, and its territory in Europe can also be said to be severely shrinking.

In Yan Shao's time, Turkey's territory could no longer be described as shrinking, but should be reduced. In later generations, Turkey was also a country that straddled Europe and Asia, bordering the Black Sea to the north. It is bordered by the Mediterranean Sea to the south. It is bordered by Syria and Iraq to the southeast, the Aegean Sea to the west, Greece and Bulgaria, and Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan and Iran to the east. Turkey's geographical and geopolitical strategic importance is extremely important. It is a crossroads connecting Europe and Asia.

Osman I founded the Ottoman Empire in 1299. By May 29, 1453. Mehmed II captures Constantinople. The Byzantine Empire reached its peak in the 16th and 17th centuries, especially during the reign of Suleiman I. The ruling region spans three continents: Europe, Asia, and Africa. In the 19th century, it began to decline. At its peak, it reached the three continents of Asia, Europe and Africa, and controlled most of the territories of southern Europe, the Balkan Peninsula, the Middle East and North Africa, so the monarch of the Ottoman Empire regarded himself as the lord of the world, inheriting the culture of the Eastern Roman Empire and Islamic culture, so the Eastern and Western civilizations were unified in it.

Today's Turkey itself is mainly the Anatolian Peninsula.

In the case of the territory of Europe, which was already occupied by the Europeans, it was already their only territory, and at the same time the source of the whole of Turkey.

But now, even such a source is in a state of threat...

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

In any case, it was a very rare opportunity for the Greeks to get rid of their old enemies. So the Greeks did not let go of this opportunity, but at the same time, the Turks began to revolt when they were on the verge of ruin!

Needless to say, the Greeks were very good when it came to picking. If it were for the past, I am afraid that the Greeks would not be the opponent of the Turks at all. But now it is different, and it is indeed difficult for Turkey to contend with the Greeks in the current situation of disintegration―――――― if the Turks are only fighting alone.

Unfortunately, this is not the case, and behind Turkey there is still Soviet Russia.

Soviet Russia not only sent some of its officers to Turkey, but also gave Turkey a large amount of military aid. This military aid quickly boosted Turkey's military power and gave Turkey the ability to rival the Greeks.

It was with the help of the Russians that the Turks continued to win victories in the Anatolian Peninsula, and although the Greeks were also trying their best to defeat the Turks, as time went on, they gradually became ready to be driven out of the Anatolian Peninsula...

At the same time, in the face of this situation, there was some surprise that Britain and France did not seem to intend to help the Greeks.

You know, if there was a conflict between Turkey and Greece in the past, even if they were not enthusiastic to the point of Lei Feng, I am afraid it would be almost the same, and the reason why this is the case is probably because of the importance of Turkey...

Uh-huh, sorry, make up for it in the remaining hour!
