A Small Big World Power

Hello friends,
it was around 20 days ago, and right in the middle of the first round of peace negotiations between victorious Greece and defeated Turkey, that I wrote THIS ARTICLE as a case study for the next Greek moves.

That article of course, included the presence of USA in the area and the return of some of turkish lands to Turkey, in order for them to easier betray their old allies Serbs, by letting the USA pass through turkish lands and border Serbia.

Of course things didn't go that way ever, since Turkey was fully conquered by Greece, USA lost their Asian regions, Bulgarians strongly opposed allowing USA to pass through their lands (rightfully so in my opinion) and the plan fell apart.

After that first round of peace talks between Greece and the non-existing Turkey, we had the turkish credibility reaching new low levels by first accepting the peace proposal and after the beginning of the process, canceling it.

Now, we all know that there are new talks going on and sooner or later we will have a peace agreement. This though will be a turning point in Greece's future. Why? Simply because Greece will give up its greater chance to step deep into Asia and have access to new raw materials and wealth resources.



By now, Greece is considered a strong country, taking in account the population, the military might and also having in its possession the following:
6 fruit regions (3 turkish)
4 fish regions
2 cattle regions (both turkish)
2 iron regions
2 aluminum regions
1 grain region
1 deer region (turkish)
1 saltpeter (turkish)
0 oil
0 rubber

Obviously Greece is falling behind in oil and rubber and if a deal with the appointed turkish President is made, then Greece will also lose the deer, cattle and saltpeter regions. But they can be replaced if the Greek Government follows the path of aggressive diplomacy combined with good strategic planning.



We can all see Bulgaria playing in the backyard of Iran, taking those nice regions with saltpeter, fish and oil. Right now Iran is not considered a strong opponent for the Greek army and allies. Also Greece is bordering Iran already, but (maybe) not for long.
Greek marketplace is having difficulties and companies are lowering their prices and also the salaries, due to the lack of battles. State economy is not so bad, but citizens and companies are not doing that well.

Greece by replacing (war with Iran, rent from Egypt) the regions that is going to give back after a potential peace agreement with Turkey, can keep for itself the control of high bonus in food and weapons production, thus strengthening its economy in the long run. The possession of oil regions will also give Greece a boost for its oil and ticket industries. And finally, Greece by stepping on Asian lands, comes closer to India and the last missing raw material, the rubber.

There is not going to be any deer region anymore in case Greece returns all conquered regions to Turkey, but with 4 out of 5 food raws, will still have a 20% bonus in food production, a potential 20% in weapons and the oil for themselves.
In my eyes, yes, that can definitely be a small big world power.
