Greek News - Q2/3 Part 1 - Romanian DD's

Balkan Security Meetings

Greece attended a series of meetings hosted by Romania over the summer of 1925 to address security issues in the region. Romania suggested a reformation of the Balkan League to foster cooperation amongst Yugoslavia, Romania and Greece. Greece declined a solid commitment to any defensive treaty and held that security threats in the region were not sufficient to warrant a reformation of the League.

In separate sessions, Romania expressed interest in the construction of two destroyers of Greek manufacture with the option of a further two. If approved, the two ships will be built in 1926. The selected 2000ton design includes five 5" guns and six torpedo tubes with a top speed of 33 knots.

The Return of the Balkan League

Are you sure it was actually the Rumanians who came up with the idea?

Sounds like these Balkan states are getting restless again. I've occuppied most of Yugoslavia's coast, so they aren't that big a threat.

A naval threat perhaps...but what about from the ground and the air?

Around us we have FAR to one side and Italy/Iberia on the other. Atlantis makes nice with Turkey and Turkey hates Greece (well, just our guts).

Actually not much has happened between Atlantis and Turkey since the handover of the Byzantine mandate. Atlantis dosn't wish to keep the level of hostility to an intolerable level, espeacially since the normal level is near that already!, hence the making nice all around.

Turkey is quite happy that Italy has a stranglehold on much of the Yugoslav coast, it makes things less tense for us, but not much.

Looks like its time to batten down the hatches in Turkey again...

Why?

It is interesting that the suggestion of a 'League' would trigger this reaction. Especially that Greece did not feel the need for reforming the League.
