Chapter 1833 Stirring Up Trouble (Please give me a monthly ticket!!! Please subscribe!!! Please recommend!!!)

They can't hand over the Holy City to Apocalypse. First, it's out of their own feelings. Now Apocalypse has become the person that the little bully hates the most. It is estimated that soon, Hollywood will have many movies with Egyptians as villains. Not only that, some villains with messy skin colors will emerge in an endless stream, just to highlight a smear... standard operation. (Just like in Hollywood movies, Asian men will never have the opportunity to have any emotional scenes with white women, will not get positive roles, and the proportion of villains who are Asians will also increase exponentially. Just to highlight a smear, subtly, let 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 lives, 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 little overlord's national pride. The little overlord always felt that he was God's chosen person, the promised people, and that God had signed a contract with them. When the world ends, only they will be redeemed!

But now, the appearance of Apocalypse has shattered this sense of superiority into ashes!

They were defeated by such a person, what was the apocalypse? The devil or Satan? If he was the devil and Satan, then what were they who were defeated by the devil? People abandoned by God? This was something that the little overlord could never 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 God loses, and that is unacceptable.

In short, it is absolutely impossible! But they have no good solution.

In short, emotionally they could not accept being defeated by Egypt, which they had always looked down upon. They could not give the Holy City to Apocalypse and Egypt.

Secondly, out of practical needs.

As for the trouble maker, they really shouldn't be too familiar with this thing. The little bullies have 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 the old European stuff!

For example, the famous troublemaker policy!

The origin of the term "shit-stirring stick" is as follows. In the old days, most of the feces pits in urban and rural areas were large earthenware jars half buried in the ground. When digging out feces, people often used sticks to stir the feces for ease of operation. 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 function 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 stinkers.

The term "shit stirrer" is mostly used to describe people, but it can also be used to describe countries. I don't know when or who started using the term "shit stirrer" to describe the British Empire, and most people think it is more vivid, more appropriate, and more fitting. So why can the British Empire be described as a "shit stirrer"? This is directly related to the fact that it has stirred up a lot of trouble in many places in history, and some of these places are still struggling because of the troubles they caused back then.

As we all know, the British Empire was the hegemon of the world for hundreds of years, with colonies all over the world, known as the "Empire on which the Sun Never Sets". The British had serious racial discrimination ideas, and their rule over white colonies was relatively loose, allowing them to basically be the masters of their own house. Countries like Canada, Australia, and New Zealand have long become dominions with a high degree of autonomy. As for other colonies, Britain not only exploited them severely, but also messed with them from time to time, especially after World War II, when Britain's national strength declined and it gradually lost control of its colonies. When it had to withdraw from the colonies, it took measures such as changing the colonial borders, which messed up a lot of things and left hidden dangers that have been difficult to resolve to this day.

The well-known Palestinian-Israeli issue and the partition of India and Pakistan were both caused by the British interference.

If there had not been the Balfour Declaration issued by Britain at the end of 1917, the Middle East would probably 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 this. In 1878, after Britain occupied Cyprus, it provoked conflicts between the Greeks who occupied the majority in the south and the Turkish people who occupied the minority in the north. Britain not only stood by and watched, but also added fuel to the fire, fanning the flames, so that the two sides would quarrel and fight whenever they met. After the end of World War II, Britain's strength declined day by day. In 1959, it let the Greeks and Turks 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. And Britain still retains two military bases to this day. In fact, Cyprus is divided into three.

Then there is the change of border line, which has caused controversy and is still going on. The Durand Line drawn in those days has become the root of the dispute between Afghanistan and Pakistan. The British drew this line with the purpose of breaking up the Pashtun people who they feared. To this day, half of the Pashtuns live on the Pakistani side of the border and the other half on the Afghan side.

Egypt's southern border was originally a straight line, but before the British withdrew from Egypt, they gave Egypt's Hala'ib Triangle to Sudan and a small piece of Sudan to Egypt. Then they left, leaving a mess behind. Egypt and Sudan fought over the seaside land, and neither wanted the other desert land. In the end, Egypt actually occupied the Hala'ib Triangle, while Sudan has been claiming it for many years.

Britain is an expert in doing such things, and is a master at it. Because Britain has tasted the sweetness of this, and only by stirring up trouble can there be conflicts, and only when there is a quarrel can there be profit. Therefore, it stirs up trouble everywhere, sows discord, turns good things into bad things, and makes things worse and stinker, and fishes in it. However, there are exceptions. Britain launched three wars against Afghanistan, also wanting to divide and rule, but it has been successful every time, and the Afghan tribal armed forces were beaten and fled everywhere!

Why does it mention Europe above?

Because it’s not just Daiying who plays this way. People in that area are all experienced craftsmen, and they are all very good at it!

Take for example a country – Belgium!

What is your first impression of Belgium?

Harmless to people and animals, a poor little guy living among big countries? Belgium is an industrially developed country, its industrial strength ranks among the top 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 3.06 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-tech, multilingual and efficient labor force.

In short, it is a country that looks highly civilized, peaceful, and has little sense of existence...

But in fact, this country’s dark history is so dark that it makes people feel as if they have never understood this country.

In the late 19th century and early 20th century, there was a big man in Belgium who seized a piece of land in the Congo region of Africa that was more than 70 times larger than his own country 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 for 23 years.

"Hitler of the 19th century", "the most brutal massacre in African history", this man, whose statues and streets named after him are all over Belgium, is the King of Belgium, Leopold II.

In 1876, Leopold II, as the host, invited European countries such as Britain, France and Germany to attend the "Brussels Geographical Conference" and detailed his plan to provide free humanitarian aid to Central Africa, bring modern civilization and liberal ideas to Africa, and establish the "International African Union". The proposal was unanimously agreed, and Leopold II immediately contacted the aforementioned British explorer Stanley, unified funding for him, and commissioned him to develop the Congo region for himself within five years and set up trading stations 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 drama 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 supernatural powers 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 well-known, and Britain, France, and Portugal were also very jealous of Central Africa, and there were frequent games between countries. As a result, on November 1884, 11, 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 8-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 23 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 profit and greed, the Congolese people lived a slave life where they were forced to work every day to pay taxes. In addition to large-scale rubber harvesting, the lucrative ivory business 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 best, and the severe punishment would be to chop off their hands and feet.

There are pictures of men who were threatened with their wives and children if they failed to complete their tasks, and stories of five-year-old girls' hands and feet being cut off in front of them. In addition to cutting rubber, Congolese were also forced to go to remote areas to build railways. The poor environment led to diseases, hunger, abuse, and infections from amputations due to failure to complete the tasks. Tens of thousands of Congolese died tragically on the land where they had lived for generations.

In the end, Congo actually has no people left, and needs to "import" people from other places...

There are also Rwanda and Burundi... As for the Rwandan genocide, everyone knows about it, where two ethnic groups killed each other... In fact, the root of the problem also comes from Belgium. Originally, there were no ethnic groups there at all. Everyone was a poor black guy. No one felt that the other party was any different from themselves, and there was no difference. However, in order to rule, Belgium created two ethnic groups, the Hutu and the Tutsi.

The Belgians created ethnic groups in a very simple and crude way, simply by looking at social class - those with more than ten cows are Tutsis, and those without are Hutus. Obviously, the Tutsis are definitely a minority... There is no other way, no matter where you are, the rich are a minority, and the rest are Hutus, and then let the Tutsis, who are at an absolute disadvantage in numbers, rule over the Hutus, who are in the majority.

Then they started to instigate, saying that the Tutsis were a superior race, dark-skinned Europeans, naturally smart and strong, who should occupy the ruling class and rule over the remaining Hutus together with the whites... Then a few years later, they sided with the Hutus, saying that the Tutsis were exploiters and that the Hutus should enjoy the same political status.

In short, it's all about stirring up trouble and making both sides fight each other!

Basically, European countries all over the world like to do this, creating their own nation and country. These are basic operations.

So Xiaobawang’s idea is very simple!

They couldn't hand over the Holy City to the more powerful Apocalypse, because that would only make Apocalypse more powerful. But if they handed over the Holy City to their neighbors, things would become much more complicated. First of all, if Apocalypse refused, it would offend many people!

Including a lot of Western countries and a large part of the Middle East countries... If he doesn't refuse, the Egyptians will definitely be unhappy. In this way, whether he refuses or not, it will cause a rift between Tianqi and other countries, and then they will add fuel to the fire...
