The Yavos is the famous Goburn, which was given to the latter by the Germans in World War I to win over Turkey and bring ships to the latter, but because the strength of the Turkish Navy is not good, the control is still in the hands of the Germans, after World War I, the ship was seriously damaged, and the Germans took away the fire control and mechanical parameter data before leaving, with the lame level of Turkey must not be repaired, but it is not a problem to put it in the hands of Italy, and it can even be transformed better.

Although the Queen Elena class has the title of battleship, the age of the ship is about 15-20 years, but it is the level of the pre-dreadnought era, the tonnage is only 12,600 tons, and the combat effectiveness is worse than that of the Goburn, so there is no psychological pressure on Italy to sell, at present, the Queen Elena and the Vittorio Emmanuel have just been decommissioned, and they are still mothballed in the port to prepare for disintegration, and the other two ships of the same class, the Roma and Naples, are also waiting to be decommissioned in order to replace the new battleships in 1927 in accordance with the provisions of the Washington Naval Treaty. Selling in advance means finalizing what will be done sooner or later 2-3 years in advance, and maybe the official delivery will also be in 1926-1927 - after all, Turkey has to find a way to train sailors if it has money, right?

The sale of these waste materials to Turkey will not only strengthen bilateral relations, but also relieve the economic pressure on Italy, and form a double squeeze on Greece.

No one doubts the authenticity of these messages, the Turks are notoriously hungry for warships: before the war they spent a lot of money to order 2 first-class battleships from Great Britain: one is the famous seven-turret monster Agincourt, the other is the Irish, and the 7-turret monster alone cost the Turks 3 million pounds (about 12 million dollars, and it was 1914 dollars, more valuable than 1923 dollars), but they did not expect that as soon as the war broke out, it was expropriated by Churchill under the pretext of national interests, Angry that Turkey vomited blood, Qiu Fat also paid the price for his short-sightedness: an angry Ottoman Turkey turned around and joined the German-Austrian alliance, and then smashed Churchill's painstakingly managed offensive in the Battle of the Dardanelles - the British paid more for this battle alone than the cost of two warships!

Although the level of warships obtained from Italy is not as good as the two that were snatched by the British, it is really the best choice for Turkey, because they are also in financial difficulties now, and it is impossible to spend a lot of money on first-class battleships, but the Queen Elena class can still play a little role, and it can be called just right to restrain Greece.

As soon as these true and false news were released, international public opinion suddenly became in an uproar: Who said that Italy has no allies, isn't Turkey just a weighty ally?

As if this was not enough, on 2 December, the Times broke the news that the Italian ambassador had met with Tsar Boris III of Bulgaria, and that the young king was said to be interested in joining forces with Italy against Greece and recovering the lost territory.

At the end of World War I, the leader of the "Peasants' Union", Alexander Stambolisky, signed the Peace of Nay on behalf of Bulgaria, which lost about a tenth of its territory and paid an indemnity of 90 million pounds, forcing the elder Tsar Ferdinand I to abdicate and pass the throne to his son Boris III.

Stambolsky recognized new borders, handed over livestock, demobilized the army, destroyed planes and artillery, and became a champion of the League of Nations, but this domestic and foreign policy also offended many people: Bulgarian nationalists, the officer corps, Macedonian terrorists, the middle class suffering from high taxes and inflation, and the tsar himself. In June 1923, a military coup d'état took place in Bulgaria, and the Peasant Party cabinet was overthrown by a coalition of the Bulgarian officer corps, right-wing parties, and the "internal revolutionary organization".

The Bulgarian Communist Party sat back and watched their two rivals kill each other, but their own uprising in September, in accordance with Comintern resolutions, was similarly suppressed. After the two struggles, Professor Alexander Chankov, the leader of the far-right "Union of Popular Consultations", became Prime Minister, and the representative of the Bulgarian officer corps, Minister of Defence, Colonel Volkov, firmly held the reins – for Bulgaria, this was also a new revolutionary regime.

Now Bulgaria has a good opportunity: to join forces with Italy against Greece and Yugoslavia, both of which were also Italy's enemies.

For a time, the anti-Greek alliance with Italy as the core and Turkey and Bulgaria as the wings had begun to take shape, and although the quality of the "small Entente" system of France, Belgium, the Czech Republic, and Poland with the anti-German core was much inferior to that of France, the problem was that France had to deal with Germany, while Italy only needed to deal with Greece.

Mussolini's dazzling diplomatic adjustment was naturally applauded loudly at home, and in contrast, the leader appeared to be clever, flexible, and skillful, while the Socialists who only advocated "prudence," "peace," and "international mediation" were a pile of rubbish.

Even more pronounced was the by-election, where the 20-year-old Contini, a third-year student at the University of Rome, ran in his hometown of Livorno, where he received more than 71 percent turnout and 84 percent of the votes, while the Socialist candidate who fought him lost badly with only 9 percent of the vote. The move set two records: the youngest parliamentarian in Italy's history, the highest turnout and the highest percentage of votes in a single constituency. Now Contini no longer has to rely on the green light of citizen representation to enter the House of Representatives, and he can just swagger in.

The results of the by-elections in the other 17 constituencies were almost identical, the Socialist candidates were all defeated, and the only Socialist MP who was successfully elected also openly declared that he did not approve of the strategy of "the Central Committee of the Socialist Party groveling, surrendering and betraying the country", and said that he would launch an action to "reorganize the Central Committee". It made it difficult for him to squeeze out the Catholic Party candidate by a narrow margin and succeed in the election.

On December 12, 1923, three days after the results of the by-elections were announced, an even more shocking event occurred: the National Socialist Workers' Party of Germany launched a revolution in a beer hall in Munich, Adolf Hitler and Enrique Ludendorff jointly announced the formation of a new revolutionary regime, and the Munich police tried to suppress it by force, but the National Socialist Party was even more forceful. More than 100 policemen, gendarmes and citizens who had no time to escape were killed in the rampage of the assault trucks and the reckless strafing of Hatch Cash, and the scene was bloodied.

More than a month later, the beer hall riots changed dramatically: the National Socialist Party not only succeeded in taking the first step, but also achieved a seemingly optimistic result – the streets and alleys of Munich were covered with black and red flags......
