My Italian: Chapter 368 republic of crete
Today's Heraklion is a bit unusual. The residents have complex expressions and whisper among themselves. If someone they don't know breaks in, they immediately separate and go their separate ways. Let the local residents do this, of course, something big will happen.
Just last night, the secret police of the Republic arrested more than 20 government officials, including Deputy Parliament Speaker Bulgan, Education Minister Sparks, and Agriculture Minister Beheem, on the grounds that they were running a secret political party and intending to overthrow the government by force.
Such a big event, how can the public not be surprised? Believe it or not, this matter will make people stare wide-eyed and wait for the follow-up results.
Of course, for ordinary people, they can only pay attention to the development of the matter, and they are not even qualified to know the truth of the whole matter. But for some people, the situation is different.
As long as you pay attention to the daily remarks of the 20 people who were arrested, you will find that these people are all pro-Greek factions.
That's right, the group of people who are close to Greece are also the former Unionists. Even though Crete has established a republic and is no longer a country with Greece, there are still a group of people in Crete who think that the independence of Crete is a mistake, which is to create division in front of the Greeks. It is best for Crete to abandon darkness and turn to light, and merge with Greece into one country.
In fact, these people have always been the targets of severe suppression by President Solari and Parliament Speaker Hiberk. Of course, it is very rare to directly arrest them like this. Because these people have a popular base, you need to think twice before moving them.
Of course, another reason is that these people not only have connections with Greece, but also know how to leverage their strengths, and have connections with Britain and France.
In the final analysis, the location of Crete is too good, although Italy came out on top and exerted enough influence on the nascent Crete regime. But we must also see that under the pressure of Britain, France and other countries, Italy does not even have a single soldier garrison in Crete, which can also explain the problem.
This time, these pro-Greek factions can be attacked. In addition to the support of Italy behind them, there are also factors that Greece was defeated by Ottoman.
After Greece declared war on Ottomans, these pro-Greek factions jumped up and down, trying to push the Republic of Crete to join the war. These people don't care that Crete only has more than 8,000 people including the military and police, and even if mobilization is not enough, there are more than 20,000 people who want to join the war. It's also a good name, it's time for Osman to pay for his blood.
Fortunately, President Solari and Parliament Speaker Hiberk, two adults with excellent eyesight, rejected his rude proposal. Then Greece's performance was really ugly. It was defeated by Ottoman and signed a defeat treaty.
This has hurt the pro-Greek faction for a while, and the most direct consequence is that the number of people who support them has decreased by nearly ten thousand.
As for the arrest of the pro-Greek faction this time, it was also carried out by the secret police most trusted by President Solari after they relaxed their vigilance. The effect was very good. None of the 21 targets escaped. This time the secret police made a great contribution.
At the center of many people's discussion, President Solari and Parliament Speaker Hiberk are questioning the people in front of them. This person was Lieutenant Colonel Bilaward Diouf, head of the secret police.
"Have they all recruited?"
Councilor Hiberk asked the lieutenant colonel anxiously. He couldn't help being impatient. If this matter was not handled properly, it would be a scandal, and it would set fire to him. But it won’t work if you don’t do it. 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 wavered. If we work harder, we should be able to take it down. The remaining 8 people are still clenching 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 said. "Then Bulgan, Sparks, and Beheem confessed?"
Obviously, what President Solari asked was the key question. These three are the leaders of the pro-Greek faction. As long as they confess, the public will believe it.
Facing Solari's question, Lieutenant Colonel Diouf replied with a little hesitation. "Beheem has confessed, Bulgan and Sparks have not yet confessed."
Hearing Lieutenant Colonel Diouf's answer, the chairman of the council, Hiberk, became anxious, "You have to speed up, no matter what method you use, we only need Burgan and Sparks to plead guilty. We can only delay you for three months at most. You only have three days, if you can't handle the two, then we won't be able to end it."
Shibok was naked enough to let Lieutenant Colonel Diouf use any method, as long as the result did not ask the process. As the head of the secret police, Lieutenant Colonel Diouf has a lot of means, which is to let go of his restrictions.
"Please don't worry about the President and Speaker, I will get them to agree within two days."
"Others also need to confess. If there are still people who don't let go, they will commit suicide in fear of crime."
President Solari then added.
It can be seen that the two leaders of the Republic of Crete have dark hearts.
There is no way, the two of them were not so upright in the first place, but after tasting the sweetness of power, they can use any means to keep their rights. Moreover, there are only 200,000 people in Crete. It is not so easy to find a politician here.
But before the three could continue their conversation, the secretary's voice came from outside the door. "Your Excellency, British Ambassador Hawley and French Ambassador Moreira have requested an interview with you."
"Why so fast."
Speaker Hiberk was surprised.
"Don't worry about it, you guys leave through the side door first."
"Okay then, let's leave first."
The speaker and Lieutenant Colonel Diouf were also unambiguous, and immediately went out through the side door.
As for President Solari, he rubbed his sore cheeks and replied. "Invite them in."
Within two minutes, the two ambassadors of Britain and France came to him with anger on their faces. "His Excellency President Solari, we need an explanation why your country suddenly arrested more than 20 government officials including Deputy Parliament Speaker Bulgan, Minister of Education Sparks, and Minister of Agriculture Beheem. ***, we need your answer."
Facing the British and French ambassadors who questioned him as soon as they came up, Solari dared not vent to these two even if he was angry in his heart. Because he couldn't mess with Britain and France behind him. As a small country with a population of only 200,000, how could Crete dare to mess with the spokespersons of these two great powers.
"Two ambassadors, I think this is a misunderstanding. Our government also has evidence to arrest them. According to our understanding, Deputy Parliament Speaker Burgan, Minister of Education Sparks, and Minister of Agriculture Beshim~www.mtlnovel .com~Before, they complained because our country did not participate in the Greek-Turkish war. They thought that the government should not stay out of it, so they wanted to overthrow the government. Of course, our government can’t let it succeed, so we preemptively took it down.”
Although Solari gave an explanation, the two didn't believe it at all. "Your Excellency, President Solari, no matter what crime needs evidence, we only believe in evidence. Your Excellency, please show evidence."
"I'm sorry, the evidence can't be shown to the two of you at the moment, it needs to be completed after the investigation."
"Your Excellency, are we like three-year-olds?"
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean that, but please believe that the evidence will be shown to you two."
"You have to remember your own words."
"Will do."
The two ambassadors left again with scowling faces.
"Damn it, Diouf has to be quick."
