Chapter 978
Other places are raging with war, but the Central Plains has been at peace for a long time.
In peacetime, the development of culture and entertainment will become very rapid.
When you are full, you think about lust. During the war, all you think about is how to survive. Only in peacetime will you be full and toss about those fun things.
In the eleventh year of Yongxing, in March, Nanjing held the first Dahua National Games.
In fact, Dahua has held several sports games in the past, but the previous sports games were all regional in nature. Most of the participants were from the prosperous areas around Nanjing, and other remote areas did not participate.
Moreover, there were very few competitions in the past, and they were basically football, basketball and badminton games.
And this time, in addition to basketball and football, the Games also added other events.
Mainly track and field, table tennis, martial arts, shooting, archery, weightlifting, horse racing, cycling, swimming.
They are all sports with a relatively high audience, and some other relatively small sports, such as wrestling in Mongolia and sumo in Fuso, were not included.
At the same time, this National Games is still national in nature. Except for the places that have just been recovered, all 44 provinces in Dahua have sent teams.
This National Games also takes the province as the participating unit.
This is actually a bit unfair. For example, the total population of West Siberia Province is less than one million. It has just solved the problem of eating enough, and it has not yet completely solved the problem of clothing.
In this kind of place, few decent athletes could be found at all.
And some provinces in the south of the Yangtze River, the population has exceeded the 20 million mark, and they are all places where the rich gather.
In terms of playing, the Jiangnan region leads the entire Dahua, and also leads the entire world.
However, in order to maintain some competition, it can only be divided in this way.
"The first one to enter is the Nanjing team..."
The commentator held a microphone and introduced the participating teams to nearly 100,000 spectators in the stadium.
The most popular, of course, is the Nanjing representative team, because among these audiences, people from Nanjing and its surrounding areas accounted for about 90%.
In this era, it is not difficult to travel far away.
However, people who travel far away to watch a sports meeting are still very few.
Most people, at most, use the voice on the radio to imagine the scene by themselves.
"Hey, there are 100,000 people in one house, how is this possible?"
Hexi Village has already connected to the radio, and many villagers are gathered around the radio at this time, listening to this grand event in Dahua.
"You know what the hell, Ao Guzi, can that be called a house? It's called a gymnasium. It's bigger than our entire village."
The other Liu Laoer, who was a little more knowledgeable, said with contempt.
"Australian team, which province's team is this? How come there are only ten people participating? This is a joke."
When he heard the number of players in the Australian team, Dwarf Guzi had doubts again.
"It's a place in the south of Nanyang. The place is very big, but there is no one there. For those who are willing to move to Australia, the imperial court pays for their settlement, and there is no land restriction in Australia. As long as you can plant, no matter how many acres of land, you are welcome. Pay taxes at the lowest rate."
Village head Liu Zhen took a puff of dry tobacco. He is a retired disabled veteran.
Although retired, they are still shining. Taking this opportunity, they also popularized Dahua's geographical knowledge and immigration policies to the villagers.
These retired soldiers are an important force in Dahua's local management.
They are all literate, can read newspapers and official documents, and have received simple training.
To manage a village, a town is more than enough.
It is by relying on these people that Dahua can make various policies reach the rural areas smoothly.
"To the south of Nanyang, how far is that?"
Some people who were moved, hesitated again when they thought about the distance.
"Don't interrupt, the Jiangsu team has entered the field, good guy, they have ninety athletes participating in the competition, they almost caught up with our Nanjing team, they are a strong opponent."
The standard for ordinary people to judge the strength of a team is so simple. Look at the number of opponents. The more people there are, the stronger they are.
"Shanghai and Guangdong also have quite a few teams, more than 80."
.........
"Oh, the Dahua people are showing off again."
At the venue, Great Britain Ambassador William watched the grand opening ceremony and couldn't help but complain to other ambassadors.
Although Dahua's publicity for the National Games this time is to promote sports, strengthen the body, and enrich the spiritual life of amateurs. But William didn't believe it. He felt that Dahua was showing off its strength to other countries.
When people in other countries are still working hard to get enough to eat, Dahua has organized the National Games. Isn’t this showing off?
"I don't mind showing off, but I am worried that one day in the future, our country will also become one of the participating teams and become the forty-fifth province of Dahua."
Theros said.
Nearly half of these participating teams are from areas conquered by Dahua, which is terrible.
If the EU cannot resist Dahua, then they will also be one of the participating teams in the future.
"Don't worry, Theros. We in Europe have awakened and reached an alliance. We will develop rapidly in the future and catch up with Dahua."
William reassured.
It's just that the effect of these words is very general.
Those of them who are resident in Nanjing know Dahua far better than Ou
There are more native Europeans.
People in Europe feel that the establishment of the European Union will be able to compete with Dahua.
However, some of these ambassadors are very pessimistic, thinking that even if the whole of Europe is united, it is impossible to be the opponent of Dahua.
After all, the area of the whole of Europe is actually only 10 million square kilometers, and the population is only about 40 million.
Today's Dahua, whether in terms of territory or population, wants to crush the whole of Europe.
In terms of technology, let alone.
In the entire venue, only the small area of foreign envoys had a gloomy look.
Elsewhere, there are all kinds of cheers.
Even some Europeans who came to see the excitement were quite excited at such a grand event.
Dahua's opening ceremony, in their view, was really incomparably shocking.
The application of various advanced technologies opened the eyes of these European bumpkins and enjoyed a visual feast.
Everything about Dahua is so novel to them.
The audience of Dahua, in this visual feast, fully felt the strength of Dahua and had more national pride.
"It's unbelievable in my dreams that the world will change so quickly that I feel strange to this world."
An old man couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Before doing it differently, how could he have imagined that this world could be so rich as to be so extravagant and wasteful.
In his eyes, holding a sports meeting is extravagance and waste.
