Today's Heraklion is a bit unusual, the residents have complicated expressions, whispering to each other, if someone they don't know intrudes, they will immediately hurry to separate their things. Of course, there is something big going on for the local residents to do this.

Just last night, the Republic's secret police arrested more than 20 government officials, including Vice-President of Parliament Bulgan, Minister of Education Sparks, and Minister of Agriculture Beshim, on the grounds that they had formed a secret party with the intention of overthrowing the government by force.

Such a big event, how not to surprise the people, believe it or not, this thing makes people wide-eyed, waiting for the follow-up results.

Of course, for ordinary people, this can only focus on the development of things, and they are not even qualified to know the truth of the whole thing. For some, though, it's a different story.

As long as you pay attention to the daily remarks of the more than 20 people who have been arrested, you will find that these people are all pro-Greek.

That's right, the people who are close to Greece are also the former Unification faction. Even if Crete has been established as a republic and is no longer the same country as Greece, there are still such a group of people in Crete who think that Crete's independence is a mistake, that this is to create a division in front of the Greeks, and that it is best that Crete can abandon the darkness and merge with Greece into a single country.

In fact, these people have always been the target of serious suppression by President Solari and Parliament President Hibberke, of course, such a direct arrest is still very rare. Because these people have a popular base, if you want to move them, you need to think twice.

Of course, another reason is that these people not only have ties to Greece, but also know how to leverage their strength, and they have ties with Britain and France.

In the end, it was Crete that was too well placed, although Italy came out on top and exerted enough influence over the nascent Cretan regime. But it should also be noted that under the pressure of Britain and France, Italy did not even have a single soldier stationed on Crete, which is also very revealing.

In addition to the support of Italy behind them, Greece was defeated by the Ottomans.

After Greece declared war on the Ottomans, these pro-Greek factions jumped up and down to push the Cretan Republic into the war. These people are only more than 8,000 people, including the military and police, and even if they are mobilized, they are only more than 20,000 people who are not enough to see, and they are bent on joining the war. In the name of it, it is time to pay the Ottoman blood debt.

Fortunately, President Solari and the President of Parliament, Hibbock, were two adults with excellent vision and rejected his impudent bill. Then Greece behaved really ugly, and was defeated by the Ottomans and signed a treaty of defeat.

This hurt the pro-Greek faction for a while, and the most direct consequence was that the people who supported them were reduced by nearly 10,000.

As for the arrest of the pro-Greek faction, it was also carried out by President Solari's most trusted secret police after he let his guard down. The effect was very good, none of the 21 targets escaped, and this time the secret police made a great contribution.

At the center of many people's discussions, President Solari and Parliament President Hibek, are asking questions of the people in front of them. This person was none other than the head of the secret police, Lieutenant Colonel Bilawal Diouf.

"Have they all been recruited?"

The Speaker of the Council, Hibberke, asked anxiously about the lieutenant colonel. I can't help but be in a hurry, if this matter is not done well, it will be a scandal and it will lead to fire. But if you don't do it, you can't do it, and if you don't take this opportunity, it will be difficult to have such a good opportunity in the future.

"At present, 9 people have confessed, and 4 people have been shaken, we should be able to take it down with more efforts, and the remaining 8 people are still gritting their teeth and not letting go, we are working hard."

After listening to Lieutenant Colonel Diouf's answer, Solari looked at his most trusted subordinate and spoke. "So did Bulgan, Sparks, and Behim confess?"

It is clear that the key question is being asked by President Solari, and these three are the leaders of the pro-Greek faction, and the people will believe them if they confess.

Lieutenant Colonel Diouf replied with a slight hesitation in response to Solari's questioning. "Behim has confessed, but Burgan and Sparks have not confessed."

Hearing Lieutenant Colonel Diouf's answer, the head of the council, Hibbock, was anxious, "You have to speed up, no matter what method you use, we only need Bulgan and Sparks to confess." We can only delay you for three days at most, you only have three days, and if we can't get the two of you, then we can't end it. ”

Hibock was naked enough to let Lieutenant Colonel Diouf use everything, as long as the result didn't care about the process. As the head of the secret police, Lieutenant Colonel Diouf has a lot of means, which is to relax his restrictions.

"Rest assured, Speaker, I'll get them to say yes in two days."

"Other people also need to confess, and if there are still people who don't let go of their mouths, then they will commit suicide in fear of sin."

President Solari then added.

It can be seen that the hearts of these two leaders of the Cretan Republic are dark.

There is no way, the two of them were not so upright originally, and after tasting the sweetness of power, they can use any means in order to keep their rights. And there are only 200,000 people in Crete, so it's not so easy to produce politicians.

But before the three of them could continue talking, they saw the secretary's voice coming from outside the door. "Your Excellency the President, British Ambassador Hawley and French Ambassador Moreira have asked to meet you."

"How can it be so fast?"

Speaker Hibberk was surprised.

"Don't worry about it for now, you guys leave through the side door."

"Alright, let's get out of here first."

The Speaker and Lieutenant Colonel Diouf were also unambiguous, and immediately went out through the side door.

As for President Solari, rubbing his somewhat sour cheeks, he replied. "Invite them in."

Within two minutes, the British and French ambassadors came to him with angry faces. "Your Excellency President Solari, we need an explanation for why your country suddenly arrested more than 20 government officials, including Deputy Parliament Speaker Bulgan, Education Minister Sparks, and Agriculture Minister Beshim, whether this is a ****, we need Your Excellency's answer."

In the face of the British and French ambassadors who questioned him as soon as they came up, Solari did not dare to attack these two even if he was angry in his heart. Because he can't provoke any of the Britain and France behind him, Crete, as a small country with a population of only 200,000, dare to provoke these two powerful spokesmen.

"Two ambassadors, I think it's a misunderstanding. There is also evidence that our government has arrested them. According to our understanding, Deputy Speaker of the Parliament Bulgan, Minister of Education Sparks, and Minister of Agriculture Behim had complained about our country's failure to participate in the Greco-Turkish war. They believe that the government should not stay out of the way, so they want to overthrow the government. Of course, our government can't let it succeed, so it preemptively takes it down. ”

Although Solari gave an explanation, the two did not believe it at all. "Your Excellency President Solari, no matter what crime needs evidence, we only believe in evidence, and Your Excellency please show evidence."

"I'm sorry, the evidence can't be shown to the two of you yet, and it needs to be investigated."

"Your Excellency President, are we like three-year-olds?"

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean that, but please believe that the evidence will be shown to the two of you."

"You have to remember your own words."

"Yes."

The two ambassadors left again with angry faces.

"Damn it, Diouf needs to move faster."
