The Balkan battle has been unfolding, and the scales of victory have started to tilt in favor of the Russians. The Greek people, who had been watching from the sidelines, could no longer contain themselves.
Mao Xiong was not easy to negotiate with; if the situation dragged on and the Russians won the war, the Greeks would be left out in the cold.
Clearly, the Greek Government made a strategic misjudgment, believing that if the Russians won this battle, England and France would back down.
In this era, Mao Xiong's brand was still very effective, recognized as the foremost power on the European continent, the world's number one land force.
The Greek people had great confidence in the Russians, and even with the combined forces of England and France, they were more optimistic about the Russians.
As the decision-makers, they were unaware that their conclusion was clouded by self-interest.
