Greece’s Roman Road

In the original time and space, Albania, a small European country, had a very special flag, a black double-headed eagle.

This flag comes from Skanderbeg.

Historically, the Ottoman Empire's conquest of Albania was full of twists and turns.

During the Albanian rebellion against the Ottoman Empire, a national hero, Skanderbeg, appeared in Albania.

This person was born in an Eastern Roman nobleman. At first, he joined the command of the Ottoman Sultan Murad II. Later, he rebelled and returned to his native Albania.

Under the leadership of Skanderbeg, Albania was an Ottoman nemesis. Facing the thriving Ottomans in the 15th century, Albania was victorious.

In a legendary battle between the two sides, the "Siege of Kruya", 8,000 people from Skanderbeg fought against 100,000 people of the Ottoman Sultan Murad II, and they won the battle.

After that, during the more than 20 years that Skanderbeg was alive, Albania led by Skanderbeg maintained its independence. It was not until Osman heard that Skanderbeg died of illness that he led an army of 100,000 to conquer Albania again.

In order to vent their anger, the Albanians were almost slaughtered by the Ottomans at that time, which is why in Albania later, msl accounted for the majority, because almost all the original Albanians were killed.

The black double-headed eagle in Albania in later generations is not only the family crest of Skanderbeg, but also the symbol of Eastern Rome.

It can be said that the lost population of Albania has not recovered during the 400 years of Ottoman rule.

Albania covers an area of ​​more than 20,000 square kilometers and has a poor population of only 300,000 people.

Why else would Italy be so coveted by Albania? A piece of land just under the nose, with a sparse population, is also located in Europe, with a short distance separated by the Otranto Strait.

For Italy, no colony compares to Albania.

In Italy, where hundreds of thousands of people immigrate to the Americas every year, it is impossible not to pay attention to places like Albania.

If it weren't for the failure of the Italian expedition to Ethiopia, the domestic political chaos was in a mess, and if Greece wanted to get this land, it would be almost impossible for Italy to pass the test.

Against such a historical background, despite the fact that the Albanians have the majority of the MSL population, it is hard to say how much they have feelings for the Ottomans.

These are what Constantine called historical factors. From this point of view, it is more advantageous for Greece to assimilate the Albanians.

"In addition, Prime Minister Alexandros, you can also send a resource exploration team to find out the details of Albania's minerals and see if there are any valuable mineral resources for development," Constantine said to the crowd.

Thanks to the industrial level of Ottoman slag, no matter what minerals there are, they are still buried in the ground intact.

For today's Greece, due to the lack of high-quality hard coal (Greek coal is lignite), whether it is raw material for steelmaking or thermal coal for trains, the coal imported every year is a huge sum of money, allowing the British to make money Earn with a smile.

If it weren't for the considerable trade volume of Greece every year, how could the British people talk so well at the London Conference?

Not to mention, if you can find a high-quality hard coal mine in Albania, and how much to invest, the Greek financial community is probably willing to pay for it.

For bankers, nothing is more heart-wrenching than the outflow of gold and silver.

For the capitalists of a certain country, as long as the money remains in the country, they will continue to generate income for the capitalists. Once the money leaves the country, it is beyond their ability.

Therefore, everyone's eyes lit up when they heard about mineral exploration.

........

In the garden of the Tatoi Palace, Nobel, who was invited, hurried to the appointment.

This big man has now become a Greek industrial tycoon. Almost all the gunpowder of the Greek army is contracted by Nobel's factory in Greece.

Without Nobel's gunpowder, the Greek army could not have won on the battlefield.

In addition, there is also the dye business, which also makes the chemical tycoon more valuable.

At present, the dyes required by the Greek textile industry, except for imports, almost all come from Nobel's chemical plants.

This scientist + factory owner Nobel, since he came to Greece to set up a factory, knew that the importance of chemical industry was very important, and Constantine took care of him almost everywhere, giving him a green light all the way.

And Nobel also reciprocated. Almost all of his business funds in Greece are stored in the Royal Bank of the Royal Family, which is the second important customer of the Royal Bank besides the Royal Family.

This kind of interest relationship makes the relationship between the two parties more harmonious.

"His Royal Highness, congratulations on your army's victory." Seeing Constantine standing up to greet him in person, Nobel congratulated.

"You also have a share of the victory," Constantine replied, welcoming Nobel to the table at the same time.

Nobel was stunned for a moment, then thought that Constantine was the gunpowder used by the Greek army.

After the two sides were seated, the servants brought refreshments and then stepped back.

"Your Highness, you came to me this time, what can I help you with?" Noble said directly.

"That's right, Mr. Nobel, I heard that your family is in the oil industry," Constantine said without hesitation.

"If you don't feel offended, Mr. Nobel, can I listen to the history of your Nobel family?" Constantine asked with interest.

Constantine was really curious about the history of the Nobel family, a newly rising wealthy family that started from scratch.

The Nobel Prize, which everyone knows later, comes from this Nobel.

But the Nobel family, who came from Nobel, should not be underestimated either. They were the originator of the Russian oil industry and made their fortune on oil.

Almost at the same time as Rockefeller in the United States.

Noble obviously did not expect that Constantine would ask about his family, but the relationship between the two was close, so he organized the language and said, "There's nothing wrong with that."

"That's right, Your Highness"

"Our Nobel family originally came from Sweden. Later, my father brought the whole family to Russia. My father Emmanuel met the then Russian Tsar Nicholas I by chance. Through this relationship, we initially Opened an armament factory, producing mines, steam locomotives, etc."

"However, after the Crimean War, Russia was defeated, and my father's factory also encountered difficulties and was finally sold."

"My second brother, Ludwig, took the money to open a factory again to produce firearms."

"Later my eldest brother Robert went to Baku on the Caspian Sea to buy walnut wood for guns"

Speaking of this, Nobel shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I don't know what my elder brother~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Robert thought at that time"

"The money that should have been used to buy walnut wood, 25,000 rubles, bought a small oil refinery on his own initiative"

"And my second brother, Ludwig, not only didn't get angry, but continued to send money to let Robert upgrade all the equipment in the factory."

"Refinery business is booming due to good quality"

"Families also made their fortunes from the oil business"

"At that time, the oil industry in the United States was the most advanced, but the efforts of your family turned the situation around," Constantine interjected.

(The modern oil industry originated in the United States.)

Nobel looked at Constantine and asked curiously, "Does Your Highness know so much about the history of the oil industry?"

Constantine shook his head: "When I was in New York, I met Rockefeller, the American oil tycoon."

"These words, I listened to him."

Nobel came to a sudden realization.

Both the Rockefeller family and the Nobel family are engaged in the oil business, so naturally they know each other.

"It turns out that it's not surprising."

"In fact, Rockefeller's Standard Oil, and our Nobel family's oil company, are commercial competitors."
