Chapter 760 The Punching Bag
Wilson proposed the establishment of the League of Nations. His original intention was to expand the United States' influence in European affairs, and it was not at all to peacefully resolve international disputes.
Since there is a dispute, there is a conflict of interest. Can this thing be resolved peacefully?
It is impossible for those with vested interests, such as Britain and France, to give up their vested interests.
Rising stars such as Germany, the United States, and Russia are not willing to remain inferior to others for a long time.
Countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America will not endure the exploitation and oppression of colonial powers for a long time.
The situation in Italy is quite special. In Europe, it is better than the poor and more than the poor. This situation is commonly known as second-rate in Russia.
The weapons seized in the North African colonies really have nothing to do with Russia.
If Russia wanted to overthrow Italy's colonial rule in North Africa, there would be no need to go to such trouble. With Nicholas's character, he would probably just rob it.
If George takes action, there will be more tricks.
George didn't like the three melons and two dates in the Italian's pocket, and he had no time to torment the Italian.
George's attention is still on the Suez Canal.
Although the League of Nations has become a tool for political expansion of major powers, the purpose of the League of Nations troops is still to maintain peace.
The League of Nations troops stationed in the Canal Zone were intended to ease the tension between the British army and the Egyptians and maintain peace in this area.
Although the London government expressed strong opposition to the League of Nations troops entering the Canal Zone, the British troops stationed in the Canal Zone still welcomed the arrival of the League of Nations troops.
Since the end of the World War, British troops stationed in the Canal Zone have been attacked repeatedly. They have been unable to defend themselves with cold guns and artillery. Almost every month, lone British troops are killed.
The British army came to the overseas colonies because they wanted to be the masters. No one wanted to live in a fearful environment.
The stationing of League of Nations troops will indeed ease local tensions to a certain extent.
Kusyazov took the initiative to request an order and led the Russian troops to station in the edge area near Cairo.
To express its welcome to the Russian army, the Egyptian government took the initiative to send workers to help the Russian army build camps and expressed its gratitude to the Russian army.
Kusyazov reciprocated the favor and offered to help Egypt train its army.
This proposal was opposed by Bradley and Henry.
“You should reflect on why the Egyptians hate you.”
Kusyazov acted chivalrously and did nothing, and refused to let Russia help justice. He deserved to be killed by the Germans Press and hit.
“Do you think you can gain their gratitude by helping them?”
What Bradley means is, buddy, you still don’t see enough.
"What we have suffered today, sooner or later, you will also feel it."
Henry's this is not an excuse, more like a curse.
“If one day the Egyptians no longer need our help, we can leave with a smile and leave our blessings, can you do it?”
Kusyazov Guan Gong vs. Qin Qiong , things that didn’t happen are not suitable for discussion.
Who can say for sure what will happen in the future? It’s better to live in the present.
The supplies for the League of Nations troops are not provided by the League of Nations, but are organized by each country.
If not, the size of the League of Nations troops may expand to millions, and all countries will hand over their troops to the League of Nations.
Among all the League of Nations troops, the Russian army has the best treatment. It not only has a reasonable diet, rich nutrition, and a large amount of key supplies, but the supply standard of 3,000 is directly based on the scale of 5,000 people.
The Russian army not only has beef and mutton from Siberia, but also fruits and coffee from the tropics, as well as aquatic products from the Baltic Sea. It even brought a newly emerged machine from Constantinople. The continuous freezing machine can make ice cream.
Ice cream has a long history. In the 1850s, people could make ice cream at home.
Last year, Russia invented the continuous freezing machine, and the production of ice cream entered the stage of industrialization.
Any new inventions in Russia are always provided to the army for trial first. The number of continuous freezing machines is very small, and the Russian army only has one. Therefore, even within the Russian army, only officers and outstanding performers Only soldiers are qualified to enjoy delicious ice cream in the hot summer.
Since the Russian army had ice cream, British and French army officers have often visited the Russian army camp as guests during meals.
The progress of the Russian camp also made the British and French officers envious.
The British and French camps have not yet chosen their locations, but the foundations of the Russian camp have already begun.
The British and French camps have just started, and the sentry towers and communication trenches outside the Russian camp have been built.
Both London and Paris were so obsessed with their own armies that the Egyptian workers who helped the British and French troops build camps did not even have enough to eat.
The workers in the Russian army are not only well fed, but also have meat every meal. This is a treatment that only nobles in Egypt have.
This is really not an exaggeration. The average annual rainfall in Cairo is only 18 millimeters, and even clean drinking water is a luxury for civilians.
This damn place not only receives little rainfall, but also has a huge temperature difference between day and night. In the morning, you wear a jacket with a shirt, but at noon, you only have short sleeves.
The Egyptians were accustomed to the local weather, but the Russian army found it unbearable.
To boost morale, Kusyazov held a competition, and the winner was rewarded with ice cream.
Russian military games have always been diverse, with one emphasis being simple and rough.
Slap, games like Russian Roulette are now completely banned because they are dangerous.
The Russian army's favorite games are wrestling, boxing, tug-of-war, wood lifting, etc., almost all of which are related to strength.
So the Egyptian workers built a football field for the Russian army out of good intentions, but it was ignored by the Russian army.
Modern football originated in the United Kingdom. In 1888, there was a football league in the United Kingdom, and there were football fields in the British military camps stationed in the Canal Zone.
The Egyptians didn’t know much about the Russians and thought that the Russians also liked playing football, so they built one for the Russians who seemed to love sports. At this time, you can see the difference in standards.
There is no turf on the football field in the British camp.
The football field in the Russian camp has turf, and it is natural turf.
This makes sense, artificial turf would not appear for another half century.
This did not satisfy the British officers who came to the Russian camp to eat and drink.
Giving such a good golf course to the Russians is simply a waste of money.
Kusyazov is very strange.
Natural turf cannot withstand being stepped on. In order to maintain this turf, the Russian army works hard to pull water from the Nile River every day, and it must be treated before it can be watered. If you want to play football on the lawn, do it yourself Go get it.
The British logic is not like this.
The British logic is that since the things you have at home are easier to use, it is only natural to give them to me.
If you don’t give it to me, I will rob it.
Regarding Egypt, the British never concealed anything, were frank and sincere, and robbed Egypt whenever they wanted.
The British are still very cautious about Russia. Not only do they not dare to rob, but they also need to be wary of being shot in the dark by the Russians.
Both are League of Nations troops, and there are friendly exchanges within them. After Henry tasted the Russian army's ice cream, he proposed organizing a friendly football match between the Russian army and the British army.
Kusyazov happily agreed.
In order to show the bravery of the Russians, the players Kusyazov selected were all tall orcs who could run ten kilometers alone carrying a heavy machine gun.
The players on the British side are all agile and skilled.
The result of the game was not surprising. After halftime, the Russian army playing at home lost 0:10.
Kusyazov and the Russian officers present turned green.
Henry and the British officers present had their revenge, and Kusyazov couldn’t help but grit his teeth with such joyful expressions.
Bradley and the French officers present were happily watching the fun. Just be happy.
Kusyazov gave the chief of staff, who was the coach, a look, and the chief of staff understood.
The situation changed suddenly in the second half. Just two minutes into the game, the British forward, who had already scored 4 goals in the first half, once again broke through the attack of two Russian defenders and sent the ball into the Russian goal through the gap.
“You noobs, today I will completely slaughter you!”
The British forward who scored his fifth goal was so mad that he didn’t notice the Russian troops around him. The soldiers had clenched their fists.
“Get away!”
The British forward pushed away the Russian rear guard in front of him, full of arrogance.
The Russian defender suddenly slapped the British forward on the neck.
The striker went limp like spaghetti in a pot and remained motionless.
Several British players rushed over and a melee broke out.
Di——
The French referee blew his whistle desperately and did not rush into the crowd at all.
When Kusyazov and Henry reacted, all the British players on the field, except for the goalkeeper who was far away and had no time to participate in the battle, were all knocked down by the Russian army.
Only the rearguard of the Russian army who struck first suffered a devastating blow, while the others remained unscathed.
"That's too much. Do you have even a little bit of sportsmanship?"
Henry was furious and hit someone if he couldn't kick the ball. He was indeed a barbarian.
"It was obviously your people who struck first, and my children were just defending themselves!"
Kusyazov saw clearly just now that it was the British forward who struck the Russian defender first Overwhelming.
"You are not self-defense at all, it is murder!"
Henry screamed. He had just seen clearly that the arms or legs of several British soldiers who fell to the ground were not visible. The rules are so twisted that they are obviously broken.
This is not a group fight in the conventional sense at all, it is just about killing people.
"Let me be fair -"
Bradley tried to be the peacemaker.
The Russian army is indeed responsible for this, but the British army is not honest either.
What is a friendly match?
Friendship comes first, competition comes second.
You have already won 10 goals, so let the Russians score a few goals in the second half, and everyone will be happy.
Now, I am not satisfied after scoring 10 goals. I want to keep up my efforts in the second half and continue to humiliate the Russians even more. The physical humiliation is not enough, I also need to humiliate them verbally. As a result, the Russians became angry and deserved it!
“Shut up!”
Kusyazov and Henry finally found a punching bag.
