My Italian Chapter 580

The Republic of Crete is located in the eastern Mediterranean, nearly 100 kilometers away from Greece and 300 kilometers away from Africa. It is a strategic location in the Eastern Mediterranean.

After the end of the Italian-Turkish war on the island, the Republic of Crete was established. After more than 20 years of development, Crete's economy has made great progress.

Its exported agricultural products such as olives, olive oil, grapes, citrus and beans are very popular in Europe, and the sales of talc and gypsum are also very good.

In addition, the Republic of Crete has not been involved in any disputes in recent years, so the people of Crete are relatively rich, at least much better than their mainland counterparts.

At present, there are three main political forces in the Republic of Crete, the pro-will faction headed by President Bueno Solari, the pro-Greek faction headed by Deputy Parliament Speaker Hill Azmi, and the pro-Greek faction headed by Elad The pro-British faction headed by Gabbia has become the three major political groups in the Republic of Crete.

As for why the small island of Crete has three major political factions, it is a long story. First of all, it is determined by the geographical location of the island.

Britain and Italy will never sit back and watch each other take control of the island. As for Greece, it is even simpler, because the island is basically Greek, and it is even more impossible for the Kingdom of Greece to let go.

However, because Italy took advantage of the Italian-Turkish war to let Crete carry the banner of independence first, the pro-will faction took control of the island's political power.

With the help of the government, these pro-will parties suppressed the pro-Greek faction and the pro-British faction. Therefore, this has also led to the fact that after more than 20 years of development in the Republic of Crete, the two factions still cannot shake the position of the pro-will faction (also known as the independent faction), allowing the political power to be firmly controlled by it.

Speaking of which, these pro-will factions can firmly control the political power. In addition to the first-hand advantage of Italy helping them establish political power, it also has a lot to do with the faction of which is mainly dominated by local capitalists.

The population of Crete is not large, and its population of nearly 300,000 makes it very easy to be manipulated. Think about it, your boss asks your family to vote for someone. If you dare not vote, you will be embarrassed, and you will only be unemployed.

And it is not easy to find a job outside. If you lose your job, there is a high probability that you will be hungry. In this situation, what can you do? Is it important to have illusory politics or the bread that can fill the stomach of the whole family? I think it's easy to make a choice.

As for why these capitalists choose the pro-will faction, it is not because they have feelings for Italy, but because of their interests.

Because establishing a country by themselves allows them to control the various interests of the island without distributing them to others.

And if Crete is controlled by Greece or the United Kingdom, then the benefits need to be divided out a lot, and this choice is also easy to do.

Of course, the existence of the Republic of Crete depends on the delicate balance of the island, so that no one power dominates.

Unfortunately, this delicate balance is about to be broken. The night is very charming today, a full moon hangs in the sky, casting silvery white moonlight on the earth.

In an estate in the capital Heraklion, a mobilization meeting is underway. Elad Gabia looked at the crowd in front of him, and said with a solemn expression.

"Everyone, I think you all know what we are here for." Facing his question, everyone present responded enthusiastically.

"Know."

"Know."

"of course I know."

"If it wasn't for this goal, I wouldn't come here."

"Well, today is the day we gather here to overthrow the regime of Solari, the lackey of Italy. We want them to know that coercion will not bring us down, nor will we back down, and today we will let the puppet government know , the hearts and anger of our Cretans..." When Gabia, the leader of the pro-British faction, was mobilizing for the final time, in a nearby manor, the Deputy Speaker of Parliament Hill Azmi was also making preparations.

"Major Saulo, our side has already made preparations, and we are waiting for your cooperation."

"Your Excellency Azmi, I have retired, and please remember to call me Asimov, I am your newly hired bodyguard, and now is the future." A man of many years, he appeared by Azmi's side as a bodyguard three months ago.

I saw the Major Saulo, whose pseudonym was Asimov, continued.

"My side is also ready. More than 300 enthusiastic Cretan youths are ready to overthrow the Solari puppet regime that has aroused their dissatisfaction." Everyone took out guns and ammunition from the wooden boxes beside them, ready to fight.

"President of the Council, Mr. Gabia is already distributing weapons." A confidant ran over and spoke.

"I'll arrange my people to follow them to ensure the success of the plan." Before Azmi could speak, Major Saulo left in a hurry after leaving a word.

Yes, what you are seeing now is a coup d'état that is being prepared. Backed by Britain, with Greece as a helper, the pro-Greek and pro-British factions were prepared to resort to violent means to overthrow the pro-will faction in power.

Yes, all of this is caused by the importance of Crete. As the situation in Europe became more tense, and Italy's hostility towards Britain became more and more obvious, the British Empire decided that it must be suppressed.

However, suppression also needs to be strategic. First of all, it should not tear the skin apart and lead to war between the two countries. So the first to be ruled out are the Italian colonies.

Secondly, the Italians must feel the means and pressure of the British Empire, and at the same time, the region needs to be beneficial to the British Empire.

After a round of elections, the Republic of Crete, supported by Italy, became a suitable choice in the eyes of the British.

After months of preparation, all the preparations are finally done. With preparations for recruiting key candidates, preparing manpower and weapons and equipment, and probing intelligence, this coup is about to break out.

After a while, a large number of armed people poured out of the two manors, and these people rushed to various departments of the Cretan government and the homes of those important figures.

"Crack, crack~" There was a burst of gunfire, and the Minister of the Ministry of the Interior fell into a pool of blood. The minister was resting at home when suddenly a group of armed men rushed into his house. Several shots fell.

The Minister of the Interior was not the first one. The Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Minister of Transportation, and several other ministers were either killed or arrested.

With the support of the British Empire, these coup d'etat went very smoothly and achieved their goals one after another.

Many people in the Crete government did not expect that there would be a coup. Of course, not everything went smoothly, and there were some things that went wrong, for example, the arrest of the president did not go smoothly.

"Crack, crack, crack~" The bullets kept hitting the presidential palace from outside, and the windows and wooden doors were smashed by them.

There were screams from time to time, which made people panic. Thanks to the vigilance of security personnel, these coup performers were discovered by the presidential palace guards very early.

After a firefight, the rebels dropped several corpses and were blocked outside. However, although the intruders were blocked, the sound of gunshots and even explosions resounded from many places in the city, letting everyone know that this coup d'état might not be easy.

"Solari, as long as you surrender, we will never harm anyone in the presidential palace." At this time, there was a burst of shouting outside the presidential palace.

Disturb the hearts of everyone in the mansion.

"President, what should we do now?" The confidant bodyguard standing next to President Solari asked for his opinion.

"Apia, can I ask you to do something for me?" Faced with President Solari's words, Apia, a confidant, said.

"President, please tell me, as long as I don't die, I will do it."

"Take my little daughter Celia away and go find her brother." President Solari looked at the other party with a serious expression.

"I swear that I will take Celia to find his brother." Hearing the oath of his confidant, Solari opened the secret door in the cabinet in the side room.

"You can leave from here." He said as he handed his three-year-old daughter to him.

"You can leave only when I speak to the outside world."

"No problem." Solari shouted out as if after explaining the funeral.

"Ellard Gabbia, I heard your voice and I know it's you. It's not good for everyone if you do this," while outside, Gabia, who led the team himself, hid behind a stone and held a loudspeaker answering.

"Don't talk so much nonsense, don't try to procrastinate and wait for someone to rescue you, no one will come at all, just say whether you will surrender or not." Of course Solari knew that what he said was true, because there was a ringing sound in the city. There were several gunshots, but none of them were of the kind of continuous firefight, which is very telling.

This shows that the troops are under control, and they did not respond to the successive gunshots and explosions in the city.

It seems that I have lost unjustly, and the confidantes who are in charge of the army have all betrayed me.

"Okay, I surrender, what you said must count."

"I promised, it will definitely count, and let your people come out. Otherwise, we will attack by force, and everyone will not look good at that time." Then, led by President Solari, all the people in the presidential palace came out .

They held up their hands, indicating that they did not have any weapons in their hands. And these coup d'état people quickly stepped forward with weapons and surrounded them.

At this time, Gabia winked at the confidant at the side, and then the confidant yelled.

"They have weapons hidden, shoot them quickly."

"Crack, crack, crack~" There was a burst of gunfire, and many people were shot and fell into a pool of blood with surprised expressions.

Afterwards, these people involved in the coup quickly stepped forward to check whether there were any survivors, and Gabia came to the scene only after confirming it.

"Who yelled ~www.mtlnovel.com~ how could you do this?" After shaking his head, Gabia continued to order.

"Immediately check to see if there are still people in the presidential palace, and see if there is any passageway."

"Yes." In this coup, President Solari must die, he cannot be left alive. Only the death of this person can make the two factions feel at ease.

In recent years, the Solari family has taken advantage of the convenience of the president to reap the industries of Crete. Currently the richest family in Crete is the Solari family where the president belongs.

In addition to money, the Solari family also planted party members everywhere, and many officials in the government are their disciples.

In order to avoid harm to Crete and to avoid Italian intervention, Solari had to die.

As for his reneging on his promise just now, it is all for the safety of the people of Crete, and it doesn't matter if his reputation is damaged.
