after the exit of Messolonghi there was no longer any resistance left in Roumeli.
………………………………………..
all the captains have fallen in love with Kutahi
(caps = agreements)
and he with all his troops has arrived in Athens and was besieging the Acropolis, where Makriyannis and Gouras are locked up with a few Athenians.
………………………………………..
Karaiskakis goes down to Annapolis
and there he almost blackmails the chief strategy of Rumeli from the government,
who give it to him to get rid of him more than
because they believe that something can be done in that area that they think is finished....
………………………………………..
and yet,
against everyone and everything, Karaiskakis goes up to Rumeli and lifts the whole island in chariots
and in less than a year in, Roumeli is almost entirely free again.
………………………………………..
the Turks' only significant force is now the askerry besieging the Acropolis in Athens under Kioutachi.
………………………………………..
Karaiskakis in early 1827 arrives in Elefsina and
begins contacts with captains and small captains
………………………………………..
finally sets up an ordi (camp) in Keratsini and gathers there all the available troops..
………………………………………..
Kolokotronis sends his son Gennaius with 1500 men.
………………………………………..
there comes the select daifas of Yannis Notaras with 1200
and
Sicinis with the Pezzans with 750.
………………………………………..
Many others are coming who have learned of Karaiskakis' exploits and are running to fight with him.
………………………………………..
It is the great general's characteristic to be acknowledged by all the great men of his time,
such as
Velouchiotis was recognized as the chief captain by all the great heroes of the guerrilla
………………………………………..
In a few days he has built the largest camp built in the entire revolution...
over 10,000 men with the most deserving captains of the time...
………………………………………..
He put out the petty fights that existed between captains and made them all one fist
………………………………………..
He is himself personally overwhelmed with everything and he manages it with enviable craftsmanship...
he's a great general....
………………………………………..
But then Chief Admiral Cochran (I have written before) arrives and starts sabotaging everything....
(from the food, which he delays on purpose to break up the camp, to the change of plans of the generals)
………………………………………..
while the commander-in-chief and the captains have already drawn up the plan for the liberation of Athens, Cochran denies it....
(to go with his ships to close the Gulf of Euboea so that Kiutachi's supplies would be cut off and he would be forced to leave)
and
pushing them any way he can into a crazy yurusi in the plains.
to certain doom...
………………………………………..
Why certain doom?;
because the Greeks were outnumbered and without a large cavalry,
while the Ottomans' great advantage was their cavalry, but in order to act they needed open spaces.
………………………………………..
Karaiskakis understands that it's a sure loss to have the yurusi in the open and refuses in every way
………………………………………..
Cochran kept threatening
ή
you'll be doing a yurusi in an open area in Athens
ή
I take the ships and go
(attention
the Greek ships that were giving him a salary to command them while we had so many great Greek captains alongside)
………………………………………..
You see, another crime of the Greek government at the time was that it had handed over the chief strategy to a foreigner (Richard Church)
while
Chief Admiral again a foreigner, a bastard, Cochran
………………………………………..
on the negotiations then, says the Karaiskakis of the chief admiral,
that they should before they proceed to Athens,
first
to expel all the Ottomans from Piraeus and the Monastery of St. Spyridon who had barricaded themselves inside
………………………………………..
with such wiles and tricks Karaiskakis was trying to “bring” Cochran to his waters
………………………………………..
finally exclude the select Arvanite ascetic of Piraeus and force them to make deals with them.
………………………………………..
the Arvanites ask for rehemia (hostages) to leave their position and Karaiskakis agrees to enter himself.
………………………………………..
but as the column of the Albanians with Karaiskakis as hostage was coming out, that the loyalists would be kept,
someone from the Greek camp shoots and kills an Albanian and then the carnage begins.
………………………………………..
few Albanians escaped and Karaiskakis out of shame tells the Albanian leaders:
“Slaughter me as I slaughter you. I can't do anything.”
………………………………………..
but the Albanians understand and don't mind him...
………………………………………..
was a wonderful opportunity to lose Karaiskakis without anyone noticing anything
………………………………………..
the bastard who started this whole thing and broke the deal was never found....
………………………………………..
after a few days and while they've come up with a somewhat better plan,
Cochran does not bring the necessary materials and ammunition that he ordered...
He had to bring 50 cases of skirts and he brought 5 cases which he later accepted that this powder was also adulterated and did not catch fire
………………………………………..
Karaiskakis foams at the mouth and cancels the operation
………………………………………..
and yet these cocksuckers who wouldn't give the lads extra skirts,
they gave to a bunch at the edge of the cove,
plenty of wine issa issa to get drunk and start hostilities with the Turks opposite
………………………………………..
he hears the shots of the general who was burning him fervently,
(he had a fever)
pops up,
yelling at someone to tell the cavalry to follow him,
rides a horse,
grabs the yatagani of Yiannakis Logothetis who happened to be next to him at that time,
stings the horse
and is lost galloping towards glory and death...
………………………………………..
after a long time the cavalry arrives and puts the leader in the middle and they chase the Turks...
………………………………………..
Karaiskakis was at the centre of our ride
surrounded everywhere by our people
………………………………………..
and then out of nowhere he eats a marble in the grove
with direction
from left to right and top to bottom...
………………………………………..
they put him on a ship with European doctors on board, even though he didn't want to...
he didn't trust them....
………………………………………..
there he tells those closest to him, who have gone up with him, his suspicions
but without uttering a name....
………………………………………..
«I know the cause and if I live we get haki (revenge), see and I die let him fart my dick too!
What did he win?»
………………………………………..
in the night she talked and cried out in pain
………………………………………..
at 2 o'clock at night, he took the watch,
At 3:00 the fun began
and at 4 o'clock in the morning of April 23rd, 1827, on the day of his feast, George Karaiskakis, the most worthy son of the fatherland, breathed his last.
………………………………………..
eternal memory to the Achilles of Romion as Palamas wrote about him.
………………………………………..
PS. In my opinion, Karaiskakis is the greatest hero of the country,
greater than Kolokotronis...
Only Odysseus could have overcome him IF they let him live, because he was,
honest, worthy and capable,
that's why they (the Greeks) murdered him.
………………………………………..
the politicians did not talk about Karaiskakis, because he had tuberculosis (tuberculosis)
and
sooner or later he would die
But he was laughing at them.
lived,
and managed to liberate Rumeli and if it hadn't been for the initial bastard Cochran (and behind him Mavrokordatos)
would liberate Athens and then the Moria
(Without the need of the great powers)
He and Kolokotronis, they met, talked, embraced, became brothers
and ended the civil wars that the politicians (Kolettis, Mavrokordatos) had planted between Moravians and Roumelians
………………………………………..
PS2.no matter what you read, no matter what you hear, it was murder...
the trajectory of the bullet and the way it lodged indicate it was one of ours....
it wouldn't be hard for Blackcordato to pay someone from the cavalry to do the job....
