Expedition to Europe

When it comes to Africa, people's first impression may be the endless desert or the endless black people.

In fact, it is not like that. Although the Sahara Desert is the largest desert in the world, it is only a part of North Africa in Africa. Africa also has mountains, lakes, and endless forests.

Africa's natural resources are very superior. Not only are there rich underground mineral resources, but also many ground resources.

It's a pity that the superior natural environment has nurtured a group of people who can only hunt. They seem to have no other life skills except hunting. If there is no resource input from the mother country in many places, I am afraid that the population will drop by half within a year.

All starved to death.

In order to maintain their colonial rule, the mother countries in Europe have to continue to transfuse blood to the colonies.

Of course, the mother countries are not saints. They are also drawing blood while transfusing blood. What they draw is mineral resources, and what they input is living materials that can keep the people in the colonies alive.

This can maintain the status quo when national consciousness has not yet awakened, but when national consciousness is generally awakened, this asymmetric "blood transfusion system" will collapse.

The situation in Algeria is in the process of "collapse".

It seems that Qin Zhiyuan is now a tinker in France. When there is a problem in Corsica, Qin Zhiyuan will go to Corsica; when there is a problem on the French front, Qin Zhiyuan will lead the army to fight the Germans; when there is a problem in Algeria, Qin Zhiyuan is also the best person to solve the problem.

But the situation in Algeria is completely different from that in Corsica.

When Qin Zhiyuan landed on Corsica, there were only a few thousand residents on Corsica, and the locals were not even as many as the troops in Qin Zhiyuan's hands. It can be said that from the moment Qin Zhiyuan led his troops to land on Corsica, the locals of Corsica became a "minority".

But when Qin Zhiyuan landed in the port of Oran in Algeria, Algeria had a population of 6.5 million. Even if Qin Zhiyuan pulled all the foreign legions over, it was still not enough to form a population advantage, so the experience of Corsica could not be replicated here.

If it can't be copied, then it can't be copied. Qin Zhiyuan didn't want to completely copy the experience of Corsica. The greatest excitement of life is to face different unknowns at any time. If it is repeated day after day, it would be too boring.

So Qin Zhiyuan, who was ready to face new challenges at any time, welcomed a new guest: Lillard Azsara.

After listening to Lillard Azsara's self-introduction, Qin Zhiyuan extended his hand to Lillard Azsara: "Lillard, hello."

But what Qin Zhiyuan didn't expect was that his kindness was not responded to.

"You can call me Azsara, General." Lillard Azsara's expression was not good.

Afterwards, Qin Zhiyuan learned that for ordinary Algerians, they can be called by their names, but for Algerians with a certain social status, they should be called by their surnames.

For example, for Lillard Azsara, Qin Zhiyuan called him Lillard out of the habit of equality.

But Lillard Azsara certainly didn't think so. This lawyer who runs a law firm in Paris seemed to be spoiled by the French's appeasement policy. Not only did he directly correct Qin Zhiyuan's mistakes, but he dared not to extend his hand to respond to Qin Zhiyuan's kindness.

"What do you mean? Reject my friendship?" Qin Zhiyuan's face also turned cold, and he slowly withdrew his hand.

At this time, Lillard Azsara seemed to realize what he had done. His hand had been raised, but Qin Zhiyuan did not shake it, but firmly retracted it without a trace of hesitation.

"It's not like that. No one will reject your friendship, Commander, but you should respect our customs. You know, I have been waiting outside your office for three hours before meeting you." Lillard Azsara did not realize the seriousness of his mistakes and only emphasized his feelings one-sidedly.

"So before that, did you respect me?" Qin Zhiyuan went back to his desk and sat down on the chair by himself. He did not mean to give up his seat. Even Misha who brought coffee was waved away by Qin Zhiyuan.

"Of course I respect you. I came here as promised and waited for three hours. Isn't this enough to prove my respect?" Lillard Issara realized that Qin Zhiyuan's attitude towards him had changed, and he explained quickly and hurriedly.

While Lillard Issara was talking, he pulled the chair opposite his office and sat down.

Well, lawyers are generally quite shameless. The truth is not important. What is important is to be able to speak like the truth.

"You are not God. I can't put down my work to cater to your time. You are not qualified." Qin Zhiyuan was not polite at all.

If it weren't for representing the locals, Lillard Issara would not even be qualified to meet Qin Zhiyuan. A lawyer may be a big shot in Algeria, where education is not common, but in Paris, he is nothing and has no comparison with a general with real power.

"I know you have a brilliant record, but I didn't expect you to be such an arrogant person." Lillard Issara began to beat around the bush.

"Whether you are arrogant or not depends on whether the other person is worthy of respect. You have left a very bad impression on me now. To be honest, I don't want to deal with a guy who doesn't even understand basic social etiquette. Or you do, but you have been Emphasizing what you should get, but forgetting what you should pay." Qin Zhiyuan took a sip of coffee, and he was ready to end this unpleasant conversation.

"We have paid a lot. We have given almost everything. How could we not give anything? You have plundered almost everything from us. You can exploit our underground resources. The crops we grow provide for your luxurious life. Even our The people will bleed and sacrifice for you. Have you wiped out all of this? But what have you brought us? There are only wounds and endless sorrow!" Lillard Azshara looked righteous. The words he spoke were also very contagious, and he was truly worthy of being a lawyer.

"What is plunder? It's plunder only if you don't pay any price. But do we not pay any price? Obviously not! We did mine resources and use local people as miners, but we also gave them salaries so that they can We do buy produce, but we also pay for it, and if you ask us, we bring it here. What's here? Look at the clothes you're wearing, the car you took when you came here, and the roads the cars drive on. We brought them all. If we didn't import these industrial products, would you be willing to live back in a tent? The food you eat is all brought by us. Without our input, would you only live by eating grapes? "Qin Zhiyuan is not without the ability to fight back.

In fact, Qin Zhiyuan knew very well that what they both said were false propositions. The plunder of colonies by the sovereign state is based on unequal exchange, but this is normal. Even in the 21st century, this exchange is still not reciprocal. As for who will suffer, it depends on who needs it more urgently.

"Ha, you took away the gold left by our ancestors and then gave us a pile of brass. Do we still need to be grateful for this kind of behavior?" Lillard Azshara did not understand, but stood on Lillard Azshara's position was all he could do.

"Don't be so tragic. That piece of gold is not necessarily left to you by your ancestors. Strictly speaking, that piece of gold was left to them by the ancestors of the Berbers. For the Berbers, you He is also an outsider." Qin Zhiyuan did not hesitate to slander himself and drag the other party into trouble.

The Berbers are the earliest indigenous people of Algeria. They have lived in Algeria since at least 10,000 BC.

"Are you trying to legally obliterate the meaning of our entire nation?" Lillard Azshara was surprised. He seemed to feel that a serious crisis was approaching.

"No one wants to obliterate your nation. Don't pretend to be victims all day long. Compared to you, those Berbers are victims." Qin Zhiyuan still talked about the Berbers. This is Lillard Azshara can't argue with that.

"After all, that was a long time ago, and we should still pay attention to the present. For example, drinking in public, you must know that our tradition is not to drink, so please limit it appropriately in this regard." Lillard Issa Pull back to the present and not dwell on things that happened more than ten centuries ago.

The fetishism that Lillard Azshara believes in does not allow drinking.

This is understandable. You must know that Lillard Azshara used to be a nomadic people. They were not engaged in production at all, and naturally they had no surplus food for making wine. Therefore, in order to better control the parishioners, their prophet simply did not allow it. "Wine" appears.

"Yes, your tradition is that you are not allowed to drink alcohol, but at the same time, there are many ethnic customs that allow you to drink alcohol, and you have to drink some no matter what happens. So what should you do? Do you only respect your customs but not respect them? Other people’s customs? "Qin Zhiyuan is actually talking about the Chinese, including the French...

Well, except for a few people in this world, most of them drink alcohol. Even Algerians drink in secret and buy alcoholic beverages from shops. It's just that they don't drink in public. Even if they buy drinks, they will wrap them in newspapers or stuff them in their clothes to buy them secretly. If someone finds out, this is a very embarrassing thing.

Having said that, Algerians are also hiding their ears and doing things that make them feel happy.

In fact, not only Algerians, but everyone will subconsciously seek good luck and avoid bad luck. This is a part of human nature.
