The German Ambassadors in Athens, Budapest, and Belgrade inform their counterparts of their intention to open a Trade Mission in the countries in order to seek future opportunities for commerce. Germany intends to massively expand its merchant fleet in the coming years, and it is hoped that trans-Danubian trade can benefit Hungary and Serbia, while German goods can be brought to Greek ports.

the Germans are met with polite receptiveness and invitations to do just that.

In 1826, Greece obtains Cyprus, Crete and Rhodes from the Ottoman Empire in a brokered settlement involving the Russian Empire
This gives Greece 1 resource (Cyprus), minor ports of Irkalion, Famagusto, and Rhodes, and the complicated population exchange as roughly 1 million Greeks in Asian Turkey begin leaving along with nearly 1 Million Turks and othe rMuslims fleet Greece. This will take the next 10 years and cost the Greeks 50 points (which they are granted by the Russians) to pay for.

The Russians get naval basing rights and port of call rights in all Greek ports

Greek Army:
1 expeditionary army, 4 reserve expeditionary armies (conscript force)
Greek Navy
10 FF1, 50 Brigs (seagoing naval maintenance)
The Greeks begin construction of a naval yard at Irklion in late 1826
A Russian Fleet (2 BB2, 5 FF1) and expeditionary Army arrive at Athens in late 1826 and will eventually base out of Crete. The Russian warships rotate out of the area for their home ports frequently while the troops rotate after 3 years by regiment beginning 1827 (so one third rotated out each year). This is quickly viewed as the most desirable post in the entire Russian military.
