15953 - After the naval battle
N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Vicky Baklessi
Christendom had not yielded.
With the battle of Malta in 1565 where the Janissaries had been defeated when they dared touch the hawks, and with the naval battle of Lepanto in 1571, the Ottoman Empire ceased.
It learned in the hardest way that it would never dominate in the Mediterranean.
Even if it tried to cover its huge defeat in a diplomatic way as its habit was.
It returned to previous tactics, where the sea was no longer the dominant element.
This way the struggle did not cease in Famagusta.
Instead, the city became a symbol of resistance.
And this was due
Because no one should yield alone.
This was the teaching.
And that night when they spoke for the first time drinking Commandaria and analyzing together the italian game because they had both read the book of Pedro Damiano, they moved on to an innovation of the spanish in honor of Ruy Lopez de Seguira.
So the concept of the alliance appeared.
All those who had fought against barbarity knew better than any other these openings in order to
bypass the difficulties of the domination of the space.
So they proved that they were with the Time.
Without forgetting the defense of the two knights, they took the historic decision.
Thermopylae of the Mediterranean.
Salamis of the Innersea.
To cease the expansionism on the sea chessboard.
Following the diachronic horizontal strategy.
That which unites the innerseas.
Because it knows for centuries now the value of the dynamic element that protects those who respect it.
Without trying to conquer it, since they know already, being people of the sea due to the people of
Time, who remains free as much as his enemies tried to enslave him, because it is a gift of Humanity.
