Chapter 1809 Exchange (Please Give Me a Monthly Ticket!!! Please Subscribe!!! Please Recommend!!!)

"I'm really not a suitable queen..." Actually, Atlanna didn't really not understand these things, but the high moral standards made her not very willing to do these things, which made her uncomfortable... To be precise, if she was really thick-skinned and black-hearted, she wouldn't have been exiled and sacrificed. Isn't the audience just a little thing in the crotch? How serious can it be? She actually sacrificed the queen of a country.

No matter how you look at it, it feels nonsense. As long as Atlanna refuses to admit it, no one can do anything to her. In fact, no one thought of making things like that. Everyone thought that if you say a little nonsense, we will turn a blind eye and let it go.

But she refused to confess and refused to admit that she was wrong.

This is... Even if everyone wants to drink three glasses of wine as punishment, they don't know how to make the situation go back. There are many things you can do, but you must not say them! Even if you say them, you can't admit them! Look at the United States, have they done less dirty things? But others just don't admit it, instead they keep saying that they are the beacon of human civilization and the representative of truth, goodness and beauty!

If you say too much, some people will really believe it!

So, too high moral standards are not necessarily a good thing, especially when everyone's moral standards are generally not high.

"No, no, no! You can't say that! A good queen needs to tell everyone what is right and what is wrong. You do a good job. Almost everyone knows what kind of person you are, and your people are proud of you! This is your greatest role! Because of you, everyone trusts the royal family so much. You are undoubtedly a good queen!"

Kai looked at Atlanna like this, and actually had a toothache. He was not a person who would comfort others, not to mention that Atlanna was not a child. She was old enough to be the grandmother of ordinary people! But there was no way, who made him unable to control his crotch? Atlanna was like this, he couldn't go to stab her, right? He could only make up a story.

Of course, these words were not all nonsense.

At least Atlanna's existence had a very positive meaning for the entire Kingdom of Atlantis. If Atlanna was a thick-skinned and black-hearted ruler, other kingdoms would not be so easy to obey.

For the Kingdom of Atlantis, other kingdoms actually have quite complicated feelings in their hearts.

First of all, the Kingdom of Atlantis is the leader of the seven kingdoms, which is recognized. Whether from the perspective of custom or religion, this cannot be denied.

But it is also this point that makes other kingdoms very wary of Atlantis. What Orm did fully prove that this vigilance is correct. When Orm conquered the seven kingdoms, except for the Saltwater Kingdom, he basically did not encounter any fierce resistance.

Zebel joined at the first time. Is there any opposition in the country?

There is none at all! Otherwise, would Meila's father agree so easily? If those bastards in the country did not resist the rule of the Kingdom of Atlantis at all, he would have agreed to the merger!

The Fisherman's Kingdom... After killing the king, the entire Fisherman's Kingdom surrendered.

It's amazing, a country that has existed for thousands of years, the king was killed, and the country was scattered. It's abnormal no matter how you look at it, right? When a gangster boss is killed, everyone will think about revenge! Only those low-class gangs on the street will fall apart after the boss is killed.

A kingdom that has been established for thousands of years can only be compared with that kind of street group?

However, the fact is that the people of the Fisherman Kingdom subconsciously recognize the Kingdom of Atlantis as the orthodox ruler!

They naturally won't resist too much.

On the contrary, the Saltwater Kingdom is the most normal... well, it can also be said to be the most abnormal. They resisted fiercely, the kind of people.

But this is not the fault of the Saltwater Kingdom.

The mainstream of the underwater world is the Kingdom of Atlantis, followed by the Kingdom of Zebel, and then the Fisherman Kingdom.

The Saltwater Kingdom was excluded from the mainstream and was almost excluded to the Trench Clan. There is no way, Atlantis is orthodox, although the Kingdom of Zebel is different, it also maintains the tradition of the empire, although the Fisherman Kingdom embraces evolution, it can be regarded as maintaining the human form, and the Saltwater Kingdom...

They have always been despised by the mainstream and are not considered mainstream at all.

This kind of contempt comes from the top down, and the people of the whole country are treated the same.

This creates a split between them and the mainstream.

It's like the American rednecks and the American mainstream. Both sides look down on each other, and prejudice is almost replacing hatred!

In the United States, where racial discrimination is rampant, the general public is aware of the long history of white people's discrimination against black people. But what is less known is that there is also a complex chain of contempt among white people in the United States: the East looks down on the West, and the North laughs at the South. Among them, the "rednecks" are unfortunately at the end of the discrimination chain within the white people, and they are worse off than black people. "Rednecks" refers to the lower-class white people in the southern United States. They were originally immigrants from Ireland, Scotland and other places to the New World of America, and they believe in the traditional Presbyterian Church.

When the influence of the Protestant Episcopal Church gradually increased and there were conflicts and confrontations with the Presbyterian Church, this group often chose to wear a red cloth around their necks to show their position and oppose the rule of the Episcopal bishops, hence the name. Later, this word was used to describe the lower-class white people who lived in poverty, had conservative ideas, were poorly educated, and behaved in a paranoid manner. Since there are a large number of farmers in this group, who work in the fields for a long time wearing hats, their necks are red instead of their faces, so the term "red neck" is more vivid and appropriate.

Whether in the past or now, Americans have always viewed "rednecks" with strong discrimination. In Georgia, they are called "crackers", in Appalachia they are called "hillbillys", and sometimes they are simply called "white trash".

Searching for the criteria for "redneck" on Urban Dictionary is a variety of irony and intriguing:

Redneck criteria: Your wife is heavier than your refrigerator (obesity problem); you move the refrigerator away and find that grass has grown underneath it and it has turned yellow (not liking to clean the room); you mow the lawn and find a car in the grass (not liking to clean the yard); you need to wear clothes and shoes and bring a flashlight to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night (large farm + old house); you have had a gunfight with others in the parking lot of the mall (the people in the South are tough...); Santa Claus refuses to let your children sit on his lap (the children are not hygienic...); there are page numbers on your toilet paper (probably using books as toilet paper...)

Tracing back to history, the term "redneck" not only reflects the strong class discrimination among white Americans, but also reflects the cruel social reality.

In the 19th century, the "theory of racial superiority and competition" began to prevail. Famous figures such as British Prime Minister Churchill, US President Roosevelt, and British writer George Bernard Shaw were all full of affirmation of this, and American society also set off a wave of discrimination against inferior races. As the ruling race in the United States, the Anglo-Saxons began to worry about the problems within their own race under the influence of the "survival of the fittest" theory: other races are born inferior, which makes sense, but why do white people in the South, who are of the same race, "lose face" in all kinds of performances?

It hurts.

A survey in the United States in 1850 showed that 20% of white people in the South were illiterate, while the illiteracy rate among white people in the North was less than 1%. A certain military test in World War I also showed that the scores of white soldiers in the South were not only killed by white soldiers in the North, but also the level of black soldiers in the North was not as good as that of soldiers in the North. In addition, the common problems of white people in the South, such as promiscuity, laziness, violent tendencies, conservative xenophobia, etc., have also been criticized by society. What worries the mainstream American society even more is that if the inferior groups within themselves do not control their fertility and reproduce faster than other decent families, won't it lower the population quality of the entire race and cause collective capsizing?

So, the theory of "degenerate family" emerged, and white people in the South were confirmed by various data to be the "dregs" of the race, and it was necessary to carry out "artificial intervention." In the early 20th century, the US government began to purge "inferior whites" under the banner of eugenics: anyone classified as a "degenerate family" was required to undergo forced sterilization.

The first victim of forced sterilization was Carrie Buck. The girl was only 18 years old at the time and had not committed any crime. However, because she and her mother had both experienced unmarried pregnancy, she was described as a person with a decadent life and low intelligence, and the court voted to agree to sterilization.

Among these people, the most discriminated against is the Greater Appalachian region!

The people in this region are basically laughed at by the whole nation in the United States, and even US Vice President Cheney publicly made ethical jokes about the people in this region... very bad ones. But no one blamed him!

The people in this region are even stereotyped as mentally retarded and freaks, and the people here are all poor ghosts!

For example, a very famous movie, it seems to be called something like Wrong Turn, tells the story of this region, and seven movies were made!

But the amazing thing is that no one speaks for them!

The status of the Saltwater Kingdom is roughly the same as that of the Greater Appalachia.

So you naturally don't expect the people of the Saltwater Kingdom to agree with any mainstream values.

I'm getting off topic again.

To put it another way, what Orm did is exactly what the other kingdoms are afraid of. They are afraid that the Kingdom of Atlantis will really complete the unification.

Atlanna is a good person, which is great for other kingdoms.

At least she won't suddenly jump out like Orm to unify the underwater world.

This will help the stability of the entire underwater world... Although as a Chinese, Kai has always believed that unification is the best. But in the end, it's someone else's business, and he won't interfere.

So, there's nothing wrong with Kai's words, it's just that he doesn't agree with it.

"Really?" Atlanna felt much better about the comfort of her lover.

Meila looked at the two people and was relieved... No way! She was relieved! No woman would willingly share her man with other women. Meila is no exception!

It's just... She's not the kind of love-brained person, love is nothing in her eyes. Even she herself didn't believe in love.

So although she was unhappy, she didn't care much.

Instead, she took the opportunity to say: "Yes, aunt, you just don't want to do this kind of thing. But don't worry, just let me do it! You just need to tell the people what is truth, goodness and beauty, I will guarantee that no one will mess up the kingdom!"

Meira's words... can be regarded as Sima Zhao's heart.

But the magical thing is that Atlanna actually nodded, Kai was stunned, this is a blatant seizure of power!

Meila glared at Kai fiercely and told him not to mess up.

Kai swallowed his saliva and looked at Atlanna.

Although they are all family, Meila is a bit too much. Atlanna looked at Kai's expression, and then laughed.

"I know, I know...it's just that I really don't like this kind of thing."

Emotionally, Atlanna was clear about what Mela had done.

Atlanna's face suddenly turned sad: "I know what Mela is thinking, but I don't care... Well, it's not that I don't care, but Om really disappoints me! No matter it's the Dark Trident thing , or Orichalcum, it is impossible for outsiders to know these secrets except Aum, but now that these things have happened, I can’t continue to deceive myself.”

In fact, Atlanna had already noticed Mela's thoughts.

But...how should I put it? It should be said that Atlanna didn't think there was anything unforgivable in this.

Just like Mela herself, Atlanna also felt that there was nothing unacceptable about the heir to the throne becoming Mela. She has two sons. Not to mention Orm, Arthur is even less likely to inherit the throne, although Atlanna has thought so more than once.

But Arthur's identity is doomed, and he cannot return to Atlantis to inherit the throne.

This is not a comic, let alone a movie.

No matter whether they are nobles or commoners, they will never recognize a mixed-race illegitimate child as a king.

Atlanna knew very clearly everyone's attitude towards Arthur.

He is an illegitimate child, even if his bloodline is not mentioned. He was not a child born with the blessing of Poseidon. According to the laws of Atlantis, he did not have the right to inherit!

Therefore, the only people who can inherit the throne are those who are close bloodline of the royal family.

Over the years, there have been many nobles with royal blood, but they are all distant relatives. The descendants of the Atlantis royal family have never been very prosperous. In Atlanna's father's generation, there were only two people. In her generation, there are only two. She is the only one, and the only real close branch is the Xebel royal family.

Mela's identity and bloodline are the most undoubted candidate for heir.

After Orm escaped from the Quicksand Hell, Atlanna actually had no choice. Moreover, Atlanna and Mela have a very good relationship, so there is nothing emotionally unacceptable.

Kai looked at the two women for a long time and then said in surprise: "You have reached an agreement in private?"

Mela smiled brightly: "No, we have never talked about this openly. But my aunt and I already have a tacit understanding."

Of course she was in a good mood. After all, before, the two of them only knew what was going on in their minds, but now that they have spoken out, it means that there are no changes.

Atlanna wasn't too happy either. She calmed down and looked at Mela seriously: "Meila, I will declare the first heir to the throne, but I hope... Orm can return to the Quicksand Hell intact to complete his Serve your sentence!"

This is basically a naked exchange.

Although Atlanna is arrogant, she is not stupid.

In fact, Bai Zuo just looks stupid, but he is not without intelligence.

When Orm was still serving his sentence, she had never thought that Mela had any interest in the throne, but when things got serious and Mela couldn't stay in the Kingdom of Atlantis, she almost guessed that Mela idea.

At that time, she also understood that Aum would be Mela's biggest obstacle.
