Chapter 116, Marriage Alliance

```

Otto I's fantasy did not last long before it was shattered; he did not need anyone to remind him of its impossibility.

Leaving domestic public sentiment aside, their surprise attack on the Ottoman Empire had undeniably contributed to the defeat of the Allied Forces in the Second Bulgarian Battle.

The British Army suffered substantial losses in this battle, and Downing Street even saw a change in leadership. If they were to let them off the hook, what would become of British honor?

Not defeating the Russians was something the London Government could accept since the British had always had low expectations for their army, so a defeat at the hands of the Russians wasn't too disgraceful.

But having participated in a war, the British couldn't just watch France show its prowess and become mere spectators, could they?

Anyway, the British Army desperately needed a victory they could be proud of to prove their strength. Unfortunately, Greece was the soft target they had chosen.
