Through this war, Greece received a lot of benefits, at least for the Greek king himself.

But he turned his back on China, and he was abandoned by China.

As a result of the Straits Convention, the Ottoman Empire began to turn to the Black Sea states, the Ottoman Empire began to alienate Britain, the British stopped financial aid to the Ottoman Empire, and the Ottoman Empire borrowed a lot of money from the Chinese government.

When the Ottoman political crisis suddenly erupted, the Ottomans could only continue to turn to China for help, and the Ottoman Empire hoped to get more loans so that they could compensate the army for their unpaid salaries and allow them to restore order. At the same time, it is hoped that China will put pressure on Greece to withdraw from Izmir.

The Chinese government complied with these demands, saying that it did not support the seizure of Izmir by Greece, but highly appreciated the Greek king's act of saving the refugees. China's Black Sea Fleet was dispatched directly to Izmir to help Greece transport refugees free of charge, and at the same time to prevent the Greek Navy from leaving here.

Faced with this situation, Zhou Chenggong was silent for a long time, he turned his back on China, and did get short-term benefits, he also believed that what he did was beneficial to Greece, but he understood that he also missed the opportunity for Greece to become an empire. The capture of Izmir is no longer possible, and the capture of Istanbul is even less hopeful.

Originally, by attracting the Greek population from the Ottoman territory into Izmir, the Greek population advantage here would be greater, and in order to create opportunities to seize this place, Britain no longer objected, but he did not expect that his homeland would begin to oppose it at this time.

The Greek king began negotiations directly with the Ottoman Empire, and he gave up his coveting of Ottoman Asian territory and demanded that the Ottoman Empire safely repatriate the entire Greek population to Greece, including millions of Armenians, who were considered Greeks as long as they were Orthodox people. However, a large number of Armenians fled to the Manchu Empire, because the Manchus seized Armenian territory, and where was the foundation of the Armenians.

Under the administrative intervention of the Ottoman government, within two months, all the Greeks and Armenians in the Ottoman territory were transferred, or there were still left, but in public information, these two peoples disappeared from the Ottoman Empire. The Ottoman Empire quickly became a purely Muslim nation-state, and of course the Muslim peoples were considered Turkic in Europe, but within the Ottoman Empire, there were still sub-ethnic groups, such as the Kurds, who had their own national identity. A large number of Kurds lived in the territory of the Manchu and Ottoman Empires, and those in the Manchu Empire were scattered and moved to Central Asia and Afghanistan by the Manchus because of their frequent rebellion, and in the Ottoman Empire, they also lived in the border areas close to the Manchu territory.

The Muslim population in the Balkans continued to exist, although the proportion of the population in Greece and Bulgaria dropped significantly, the Muslim population in Bulgaria fell from 520,000 to 300,000, and more than 200,000 were slaughtered, and in Greece, there were 230,000 Muslims, although they were not massacred, but because of immigration, the proportion of the population dropped significantly. However, in Serbia, Albania and other places, the proportion of the population is still very high, and the proportion of people who believe in Islam in Albania is even as high as half.

As Greece endured a demographic crisis, the Ottomans became a nation-state. As a result, Greece's finances are close to collapse, and in order to fight this war, the Greek government has a debt of more than 10 million pounds, followed by the resettlement and assistance of refugees, which costs even more money than the war, but the Greek government, which has deteriorated its finances, has difficulty borrowing money, and can only raise tax rates, and domestic contradictions have begun to rise.

At this time, Serbia took the opportunity to expand, declared Macedonia as Serbian territory, and demanded that Greece withdraw from Macedonia. Behind Serbia, stood the Austrian Empire.

The Greek government did not accept it, and the war broke out between the two countries, and the Greek army, which lacked financial support, suffered one defeat after another, and was expelled from the Macedonian plateau by the Austrian-backed Serbian army from the north of Macedonia until Thessaloniki. Because the northern coastal region of Greece, where Thessarokini is located, has always been regarded as a Macedonian region. Greece is also set up here in the Macedonian province of Thrace.

Austria supported Serbia because Greece was expanding too much, Bulgaria was an agricultural region, and the Danube territory close to Austria was basically the same as the two principalities of Wallachia and Moldova on the Danube in the Danube, and the land was also connected, so Austria was very uneasy about Greece.

The Serbian army fought its way into Greece along the largest river in Macedonia, the Vardar River, and directly to the port of Sassaloniki near the mouth of the river, which was also supported by Austria, thus separating Greek territory from Bulgarian territory in the east. The Greek king would rule two separate disconnected lands in his own name, and the threat to Austria would be greatly reduced.

Zhou Chenggong is in internal and external difficulties, accept peace talks at this time, he will lose important territory, choose war, and he really can't afford to fight, Greece is a small country after all.

The big powers are also not very supportive of Greece, China has given up on Greece, and Britain supports Greece, but the strength and direction of Britain's support is not in the Balkans, and it was even willing to support Greece in seizing Izmir and containing the Ottoman Empire that had defected to China.

But Serbia has Austria's support, and Britain will not offend the Austrian Empire for the sake of Greece, not to mention, Britain also feels that Greece seems to be expanding too much.

However, Britain offered to use its good offices to convene another conference on the Balkans in Vienna. At the meeting, the countries discussed that the Saseloniki region is indeed closer to Macedonia, and is closer to Macedonia in terms of population and culture, and that this is the mouth of the great river of the Macedonians, and that it is more reasonable for them to occupy this place in terms of natural geography.

Although the conference supported the union of Macedonia with the Sazeroki region, it denied the legitimacy of Serbia's annexation of Macedonia and demanded that Macedonia withdraw its troops and that the great powers choose a monarch for Macedonia.

As a result, Greece lost not only the region of Evros, which it had seized from the Ottoman Empire, but also the region of South Macedonia, which had been incorporated more than a decade earlier, and the narrow strip of land east of the Aliakmon River, including the important port city of Thessaloniki.

The Greek king understood that he had lost the trust of the Chinese, but he had never gained the trust of the Europeans.

He was again, as before, a wandering outcast, and he could only rely on himself.

After a major blow, he was a little depressed for a while, but he refused to give up the throne, even if he suffered humiliation, which had made the people of the Greek kingdom very dissatisfied with him, and there were crowds everywhere demanding his resignation, under strong pressure, he chose to make strategic concessions and announced that he would renounce the title of king of Greece, in order to divert the contradictions, so that his wife Connie could keep the queen and continue to rule Greece.

He himself retained the title of Grand Duke of Bulgaria and strategically moved to Bulgaria, where the husband and wife ruled the two countries separately, without losing their basic power, but calming the anger of the people and relieving the European powers.

As the Balkans calmed down, the Ottomans expelled a large number of Orthodox peoples, but also accepted a large number of Muslims from Europe, and the population fell by nearly a million, from about 8 million to 7 million, and it became a small country that was no longer important.

Greece and Bulgaria, with the husband and wife kings as a bond, secretly manipulated the affairs of the federation at the top, and the overall power increased slightly, but accepted the national problems that had plagued the Ottoman Empire in the past, and the overall power even declined. However, the industrial revolution in Greece continued, and the Greeks, who were a merchant nation, did not have a plot to leave their homeland, and a large number of people invested in Bulgaria, the new region ruled by the former king, and together with the Greek landlords who moved from the countryside, became the largest force supporting the commercial development of Bulgaria.

Once the federation is completed, Greece has the opportunity to become a great power in southern Europe after two decades.

But Greece would come under the increasingly close attention of the Austrian Empire, and it would be difficult for Greece to emerge as a great power under Austria's nose.

After the 45 years of revolution, Austria, instead of further establishing the bourgeois system as in France, strengthened the imperial power, became more autocratic, and the entire complex empire was guaranteed by a strong imperial power.

Austria also had to digest the territories occupied by Russia, where more than three million Western Ukrainians and tens of millions of acres of black land began to be connected by rail.

Prussia in the north of Austria was also digesting the legacy of partitioning Russia and annexing Poland, and the national composition of Prussia began to become complex, no longer a purely German state, but a federation of countries controlling two different peoples and cultures, one Prussia and one Poland.

Prussia's control over Poland was more effective than Austria's control of Hungary, and Prussia's territory extended to the Russian border, a narrow coastal strip that blocked Poland on the Central European continent, and all of Poland's access to the sea was the territory of the Kingdom of Prussia, and it was economically impossible to leave Prussia. At the urging of Prussia, Poland also joined the German Customs Union.

The economic closeness made Poland inseparable from the Prussian-dominated North German economic system, but the national and cultural contradictions were difficult to solve, the Poles believed in Catholicism, and the Prussians believed in Protestantism. The more powerful Prussians also looked down on the Poles, and the king began to Germanize or Prussianize Poland at the institutional level. The formation of a stronger state administration in Poland, a system of military mobilization, etc.

Prussia united with Poland, with a population of 30 million people, which allowed Prussia to remain the strongest in Europe, but more independent. In the past, the status of a great power mainly relied on the military system of Prussia, and the economy depended on British support, but now the Prussian region was rapidly industrialized, and the agriculture of the Polish region became an important supplement. The comprehensive strength of Prussia is already too strong.

The French, under the rule of the Napoleonic family, united the majority of the people, and the social order was more stable than before. Louis Bonaparte, the original historical Napoleon III, now prime minister of France, showed more political ability than slightly less military ability. Aosta, the richest man in the United States, also entered the French court in a grand manner, became the French financial director, from an ordinary businessman, suddenly jumped to the top power class in Europe, and paid a huge dowry to marry his daughter to the king of Rome This business is very cost-effective.

Under the joint management of Louis Bonaparte and Aosta, French industrialization continued to develop rapidly, and foreign expansion continued to concentrate in North Africa, while France now has the Kingdom of Quebec in North America and the Kingdom of Parma in Northern Italy, with territory and potential, more powerful than at the same time in history.

Russia was licking the wounds of the war, the female tsar carefully cleared the domestic opposition, on the basis of her brother Alexander II, the imperial power was further strengthened, not weakened, and the immature bourgeois politicians were completely unable to compete with the growing female tsar, and became a subsidiary role in Russian politics.

Britain continues to play with China in the world, but the weak overall strength has gradually compressed Britain's space, and Britain has completely lost its right to speak on the Black Sea issue, unless Britain can overthrow the strait system implemented by China, which means that Britain will overturn the alliance formed by China, France, Austria and Russia.

Gradually, the battlefield of the Sino-British game began to shift from Europe to another place.

Amid the sounds of ethnic vendetta in the Ottoman Empire and the Balkans, the joyful sound of firecrackers and drums resounded in the middle of the Americas, and another public project that could affect the international geopolitical landscape was completed.
