Chapter 1833 Stirring Up Trouble (Monthly Tickets!!! Subscriptions!!! Recommendations!!!)
They can’t hand over the Holy City to Apocalypse. Firstly, it’s out of their own feelings. Now Apocalypse has become the person that Little Overlord hates the most. It is estimated that soon, Hollywood will have many movies with Egyptians as villains. Not only that, some villain bosses with messy skin colors will emerge one after another, just to highlight a smear... standard operation. (Just like in Hollywood movies, Asian men never have the opportunity to have any emotional scenes with white women, they will not get positive roles, and the proportion of Asian villains will increase exponentially. It is to highlight a smear, and subtly make everyone accept some stereotypes. After all, as far as Americans are concerned, there are not many opportunities to really come into contact with real Asians. So where does his impression of the people there come from? Naturally, it comes from propaganda. This is also a kind of propaganda war, just like Europe and the United States instinctively hate the Russians. In fact, most Europeans and Americans will never go to Russia in their lifetime, and Russia cannot really harm them, but they are full of vigilance and disgust towards the Russians. This is the effect of propaganda)
They completely crushed the national pride of the little bully. The little bully always felt that he was God's chosen person and the promised tribe. God signed a contract with them. When the world ends, only they can be saved!
But now, the appearance of Apocalypse has directly blasted such a sense of superiority into slag!
They were defeated by such a person. What is Apocalypse? Devil or Satan? If he is a devil and Satan, then what are they who were defeated by the devil? People abandoned by God? This is something that the little bully absolutely cannot admit.
After all, the Bible has already said that they are people chosen by God, and they are God's spokespersons!
If they lose, it means that God loses, which is unacceptable.
In short, it is absolutely impossible! But they have no good solution.
In short, emotionally, they cannot accept that they are defeated by Egypt, which they have always looked down upon. They can't give the holy city to Apocalypse and Egypt.
Secondly, out of practical needs.
As for the shit-stirring stick, they really don't need to be too familiar with this thing. The little bully has always said that they are an independent nation, different from those white people in Europe... But in fact, after thousands of years of integration, they are no different from the white people in Europe.
Don't be too familiar with those old European things!
For example, the famous shit-stirring stick policy!
The origin of the term shit-stirring stick is like this. In the old days, the shit pits in urban and rural areas were mostly large earthenware jars half buried in the ground. When digging feces, in order to facilitate operation, they often used sticks to stir and mix first. The stench produced went downwind, making people downwind feel that the stench was unbearable. Over time, people found that disturbing other people's normal activities was as disgusting as the role of a shit-stirring stick, so the shit-stirring stick became a synonym for disturbance. Later, "shit-stirring stick" was extended to mean a person who spreads right and wrong, likes to stir up trouble, stirs up trouble everywhere, turns good things into bad things, and is entangled. It is a metaphor for a person who spreads right and wrong and makes things worse and more smelly.
The term "shit-stirring stick" is mostly used to describe people, but it is also used to describe countries. I don't know when it started, and I don't know who used the term "shit-stirring stick" to describe the British Empire, and most people think it is more vivid, more appropriate, and more appropriate. So, why can the British Empire be described by the term "shit-stirring stick"? This is directly related to the fact that it has stirred up a lot of things in many places in history, and some of these places are still tossing around because of the things they stirred up back then.
As we all know, the British Empire was the world's hegemon for hundreds of years, with colonies all over the world, known as the "sun never sets" empire. The British have a serious racial discrimination mentality, and their rule over white colonies is relatively loose, allowing them to basically rule their own affairs. For example, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, etc. have long become dominions with a high degree of autonomy. As for other colonies, Britain not only exploited them severely, but also made trouble from time to time, especially after World War II, when Britain's national strength declined and gradually lost control of its colonies. When it had to withdraw from the colonies, it took measures such as changing the colonial borders, which made a lot of trouble and left hidden dangers that are difficult to solve to this day.
The well-known Palestinian-Israeli issue and the partition of India and Pakistan are all things that Britain made up.
If there had not been the British "Balfour Declaration" at the end of 1917, it is estimated that the Middle East would not be so chaotic.
Britain, as a troublemaker, has indeed done a lot of things to dismember its colonies and change national borders to create conflicts. Cyprus has suffered greatly from it. In 1878, after the British occupied Cyprus, they provoked the conflict between the Greeks who occupied the majority in the south and the Turkish who occupied the minority in the north. The British not only stood by and watched, but also added fuel to the fire, so that the two sides would quarrel and fight each other whenever they met. After the end of World War II, Britain's strength declined day by day. In 1959, the Greeks and Turkish tribes were allowed to share the management rights of Cyprus equally, which is now actually South Cyprus and North Cyprus. Although Cyprus is still a country, there are constant disputes between the north and the south. The British still retains two military bases to this day. In fact, Cyprus is divided into three.
Then there is the change of the border line, which has caused controversy and is still being tossed. The Durand Line drawn at that time became the root cause of the dispute between Afghanistan and Pakistan. The British drew this line with the purpose of breaking up the Pashtuns who made them afraid. To this day, half of the Pashtuns live on the side of the border controlled by Pakistan, and the other half on the side of the Afghan border.
Egypt's southern border was originally a straight line, but before Britain withdrew from Egypt, it gave Egypt's Hala'ib Triangle to Sudan and a small piece of Sudan to Egypt. Then it left, leaving a mess behind. Egypt and Sudan fought fiercely for the land by the sea, and neither wanted the other desert land. In the end, Egypt actually occupied the Hala'ib Triangle, while Sudan has been claiming it for years.
Britain is an expert in doing such things. Because Britain has tasted the sweetness of this, only by stirring up trouble can there be conflicts, and once it stirs up trouble, it will be profitable. Therefore, it stirs up trouble everywhere, sows right and wrong, turns good things into bad things, makes things worse and stinker, and profits from it. But there are exceptions. Britain launched three wars against Afghanistan, and also wanted to divide and rule, but it has been tried and tested, and the Afghan tribal armed forces were beaten everywhere!
Why is Europe mentioned above?
Because it is not just Dai Ying who plays like this, the people in that area are all old craftsmen, and they are all good at playing this trick!
Take a country like Belgium for example!
What is the first impression of Belgium?
Harmless to people and animals, a poor little guy living between big countries? Belgium is an industrially developed country, its industrial strength ranks among the best in the world, and it is also one of the first countries in continental Europe to carry out the industrial revolution. When people mention Belgium, the first thing that comes to mind is its famous chocolate and the beautiful city of Brussels.
Belgium is located in western Europe, bordering Germany to the east, the Netherlands to the north, France to the south, Luxembourg to the southeast, and the United Kingdom and the North Sea to the west. Although Belgium has a land area of only 30,600 square kilometers, which is less than half the size of Chongqing, my country, it is one of the most industrially developed countries in the world. Belgium is a highly developed capitalist country, one of the founding members of the European Union and NATO, and one of the world's top ten commodity importers and exporters. Its strong economic advantages mainly come from its geographical location at the crossroads of Western Europe and its high technology, multilingualism and efficient labor force.
In short, it is a country that looks highly civilized, very peaceful and has little sense of existence...
But in fact, the country's past dark history is so dark that it makes people feel as if they have never known this country.
From the late 19th century to the early 20th century, there was a big man in Belgium who occupied a piece of land more than 70 times larger than his own country in the Congo region of Africa and named it the "Congo Free State". After turning the land into his own private territory, he burned, killed, looted and enslaved tens of millions of local African residents in 23 years.
"Hitler of the 19th century", "the most brutal massacre in African history", this person with statues and streets named after him all over Belgium is the King of Belgium, Leopold II.
In 1876, as the host, Leopold II invited European countries such as Britain, France and Germany to attend the "Brussels Geographical Conference" and detailed his plan to provide free humanitarian assistance to Central Africa, bring modern civilization and free ideas to Africa, and establish the "International African Union". The proposal was unanimously agreed, and Leopold II immediately contacted the aforementioned British explorer Stanley to provide unified funding for him and commissioned him to develop the Congo region for himself and set up trading stations within five years to pave the way for the final colonial invasion.
After entering the heart of Congo, in order to make the chiefs of the local tribes surrender their leadership, Stanley used tricks, such as putting battery lines on his palms when shaking hands with the chiefs, and deliberately electrocuting the other party when shaking hands to achieve the purpose of deterrence. He even personally staged a scene in which the chiefs shot him with a gun, but he was intact in the end (the gunpowder powder was taken away by fraud). Stanley used these tricks in front of the chiefs of various tribes to show that the white people had divine power and were invincible. Therefore, after more than 400 chiefs signed the protection treaty, they "legally" transferred the land to Leopold II, allowing Belgium to taste the "wonderful taste" of colonization. Leopold II's wishful thinking was realized, and Britain, France, and Portugal were also very jealous of Central Africa, and there were frequent games between countries. As a result, on November 15, 1884, no African country participated, and only 15 European countries participated in the Berlin Conference to divide Africa.
Leopold II took advantage of the gap caused by the dispute between Britain and Portugal over the estuary of the Congo River, which caused dissatisfaction among other countries. He used diplomatic means to ensure these countries' free trade rights in Congo and other benefits, and finally got the actual control of the long-coveted Congo region. In August 1885, Leopold II officially announced that the "Congo Free State" had become his private territory, and began a 23-year bloody rule. In the "private territory", Leopold II no longer had to steal the rich resources of Congo under the pretext of "civilization and missionary work" to cover his tracks. He took the money borrowed from the Belgian government for "humanitarian aid" to expand the territory. In addition to fully controlling the military, legislative, judicial and administrative powers of the Free State, he ordered his interior secretary to recruit and form a force called the Public Army in Congo with a total number of more than 17,000 people to maintain his ruling order. All the governors of the sub-districts in the Free State were confirmed by him personally and must be white.
After securing supreme power, Leopold II listed high-yield export products such as ivory, rubber, peanuts, and palm as his own private property. The Congolese people living on this land must hand over all their earnings as taxes. Driven by interests and greed, the Congolese people lived a slave life where they were forced to work every day to meet the tax payment. In addition to large-scale rubber tapping, the ivory business, which brought rich returns, caused a sharp drop in the number of elephants in the Congo region. After being forced to work day and night, if the Congolese people neglected or resisted, they would be whipped and run away by the white officers at the lightest, and the severe punishment measures would be to chop off their hands and feet directly.
For those men who failed to complete the task, the officers would threaten them with their wives and children, and there were stories of cutting off the hands and feet of five-year-old girls in front of them. These are all recorded in pictures. In addition to tapping rubber, the Congolese were also forced to be sent to remote areas to build railways. The bad environment led to diseases, hunger, abuse, and infections caused by amputations due to inability to complete tasks. Tens of thousands of Congolese died tragically on the land where they had lived for generations.
In the end, Congo had no people left, and people had to be "imported" from other places...
There are also Rwanda and Burundi... Everyone knows about the Rwanda genocide, where two ethnic groups killed each other... In fact, the root of the problem also came from Belgium. Originally, there were no ethnic groups there at all. Everyone was a poor black cousin, and everyone didn't think that the other party was different from themselves, and there was no difference. But Belgium created two ethnic groups, the Hutu and the Tutsi, for the sake of ruling.
The Belgians created ethnic groups in a very simple and crude way, which was to simply look at social classes - those with more than ten cows were Tutsi, and those without were Hutu. Obviously, the number of Tutsi was definitely a minority... There was no way, no matter where the money was, it was a minority, and the rest were Hutu, and then the Tutsi, who were at an absolute disadvantage in numbers, ruled the majority of Hutu.
Then they started to stir up trouble, saying that the Tutsis were an excellent race, dark-skinned Europeans, naturally smart and strong, and should occupy the ruling class and rule the remaining Hutus together with the whites... Then after a few years, they stood on the side of the Hutus, saying that the Tutsis were exploiters and that the Hutus should enjoy the same political status.
In short, they stirred up all kinds of shit and made the two sides fight each other!
Basically, European countries like to play like this all over the world, creating nations and countries alive, these are basic operations.
So the idea of the little bully is very simple!
They can't hand over the holy city to the more powerful Apocalypse, which will only make Apocalypse stronger, but if they hand over the holy city to their neighbors, things will be much more complicated. First of all, if Apocalypse refuses, it will offend many people!
Including a lot of Western countries and a large part of the Middle Eastern countries... If they don't refuse, the Egyptians will definitely be unhappy. In this way, whether he refuses or not, it will cause a rift between Apocalypse and other countries, and then they will add fuel to the fire...
