So, what do you suggest we do, join Crete, return to Ottoman domination, sell our souls to the British? If we leave the Danubian Federation, or maybe Danubian Republic, we are domed. As Prime Minister of Crete, I shall do everything in my power to prevent secesion, it is not a viable option.
((Because Crete joining Greece is totally absurd -_- You Cretan folk are weird.))
