A defensive measure prompted by French contracts. Were you to hire British contractors to build a line of forts, then I would have been more than happy to provide you with the engineers, materials, etc. Germany, you could have had a line of defenses, constructed by the British, but you didn't.

Greeks, do I fear a fleet that will be constrained by ill-trained naval officers who have commanded nothing better than a tug-boat? A fleet that will be stopped at the Straits of Gibraltar?

If that would have said expeditionary force of engineers to has been sent over to France with resources to build a massive line of defense. I would believe you.

Britains ignorance shows once more. Sticking up there noses at the idea of rivaled fleets. You must know that us Greeks were once masters of then waves, and will be once more. I also do not appreciate being targeted by the Allies.

Then Hellene, drop out of this war!

OOC:The war is going to hell without decisions.

Do you think meager threats from incompetent leaders will sway me? If so, you are truly mistaken. The Hellenes will fight to the death against British colonial and naval tyranny.

I find the comments made by the Greek leaders to be both amusing and completely false. If you call tyranny protecting your allies and attacking those who attacked you then Britain is very tyrannical. You slander at Britain for being war-mongering 'incompatant' fools and yet it is you who joined a war that has not affected you so far and now threaten neighbours who are being crushed by your recent allies. I thought the Greeks were men of wisdom, not barbaric men who seek only death.

You speak of allies supplying you with materials to develop a navy. Yet how can these materials be transported? Through Serbia? No, they are your enemies thanks to your rash decisions in decalring war. Through Romania, Bulgaria, Montenegro or Albania? They are neutral countries that wouldn't want to trade with you because of the fear of international reprisals. Perhaps one of your illustrious allies could supply you from the sea. A sea that Britain has controlled for more than a century. That would leave the Ottoman Empire. A weak entity who has done very little so far in this war and by no means has the money to afford such a generous bargain on your part. Your threats are weak Greece, and your diplomatic stance weaker.

OOC:Warluster, clear your box!!!

Greece, your nation stands to gain nothing from this war. If your allies win, what do you get? Resentful Serbs! The Turks and Austrians will gain more, they have more men, and contribute more to the war. They will deserve a bigger piece of the pie. Britain, France, Russia, we would all do the same!
This war can bring you only death.
I ask you to re-consider your position.
Don't stand on pomp and bluster. To throw your lot with the true tyrannical lords, the former oppressors the Turks! To turn your back on Lord Byron, and all those who defended your right to freedom.
When has been joining with your Allies tyrannical? If you do so, then look to your friends, your assistance, and see what tyranny they bring. We all have sinned, and I won't be all high and mighty.
You seek the path of destruction, of a fruitless war. You will lose.
I don't want to lose men, I'm sure you don't want to lose men, the taxpayer money, and territory in this war.
Hellene, you can become neutral, and avoid all this conflict. No loss, no gain. No death, destruction, sunken ships.
Be warned that your bluster will not go unpunished, and that your violence, if you chose to commit it, will result in full retribution.
