Chapter 8 Witness the history and future of mankind?
"There are many Helmuts in the history of the earth, but not many have anything to do with military affairs. The most famous among them is probably Helmut Carl Bernhard von Moltke, perhaps with
It would be more appropriate to call him Old Moltke." Alice frowned and recalled: "He is the most famous chief of staff in Germany. He once commanded the army to defeat the Austrian and French armies in the Austro-Prussian War and the Franco-Prussian War. Later, he also fought in Sedan.
He achieved a decisive victory in the battle, made significant contributions to the unification of Germany, and was later promoted to marshal."
This is a more talented person than Clausewitz and Dulleni before him. No wonder the latter two are only the executive director and deputy director of the second branch of the Ministry of War Affairs, while he is the minister.
Then all these talents appeared in the Kingdom of Great Brita in the 12th century AD. How should this be described? Is my Great Britta a man of martial virtue and outstanding people?
She scratched her hair again, and when she raised her head, she saw Ringer looking at her with deep eyes. She was startled and took a step back: "What, what are you doing! Although they and I are fellow villagers, that scene
The war was not directed by me?"
Or is it that Ling Ge thinks she is too inferior, that she is obviously a human being on Earth but has not followed the example of her predecessors and made a glorious career? That cannot be said. Could it be that she helped Saint Shalia find the girl's power and open up the dormant goddess of creation?
Isn’t the Temple of Heaven a great achievement worthy of boasting?
She was about to defend herself a few words, but Lin Ge withdrew his gaze and said calmly: "It's nothing, I just think you know too much."
From the previous Napoleon, Martin Luther, Marco Polo, and Magellan, to the later Joan of Arc, the red-bearded King Barbarossa, and now Clausewitz, Dureny and Helmut
Special... The fact that historical celebrities on earth are active on otherworldly stages is not what surprises Ringer the most. What surprises him is that Alice can actually tell the specific deeds of each historical celebrity.
Listening to her description, the achievements of these people on the earth spanned many fields such as politics, culture, military, religion, exploration, navigation, etc., and they were in different eras. The context was complicated. According to Alice's simple mind,
How is it possible to figure it out clearly?
Not to mention her, even if it were Ringer, for other celebrities in the country outside of the historical field, she only knew one name and the deeds of Mohu. If you want to retell it in detail like her, you don't deliberately look up the information.
Impossible things to do.
But, is Alice the kind of person who can look up information?
It would be surprising if she just opened the book and took a few glances.
So, where does this knowledge come from?
It can't just be engraved in your mind directly after birth.
Ringer was thoughtful, while Alice was a little embarrassed by his praise. A reserved smile appeared on her face (pretend), and she waved her hand modestly: "Hey, actually, I'm not as good as you said.
Okay."
This nervous guy never realized what happened to him and what it meant.
Lin Ge sighed helplessly, then gathered his thoughts and continued to tell everyone about the past: "The Yongxia Palace meeting finally reached a reconciliation between the three countries, and the price was that the defeated country paid compensation to the kingdom and gave up the border.
It is said that Helmut, the Minister of War Affairs, had a tough attitude at the meeting and even asked the two countries to cede land and become a permanent enclave of the kingdom. Such a rude request was naturally rejected. And this
The treaty signed in Yongxia Palace is now known to the world as the "Treaty of Yongxia Palace."
"The signing of the treaty also brought Nimschel, which was the city of Dorothea at that time, into the international perspective. Due to its special geographical location and political nature, many secret meetings and treaties were held here since then.
For example, the Steam Development Conference in the 13th century AD, the allied forces formed to fight against the Alpha Knights held a crucial strategic meeting here in the 14th century AD, the "Criminal Law and International Convention on Extradition" signed in the 15th century AD and
The Convention on the Initiative for Truth and Civilization, etc. Whether it was during the reign of the Kreisov royal family or the subsequent constitutional government period, this unique status has never been shaken. Therefore, after entering the 18th century, the city of Nimschel was
It became known as the 'International City' and is much more famous than the original 'City of Fountains'."
A war that has nothing to do with the country has established the international image of the capital. Civilization and history are such incredible things, which are both very novel and full of interest.
At least, everyone listened carefully to Ringer's story, even Alice, who was the best at desertion, muttered in a low voice: "If you taught like this at St. Lowood National School, I wouldn't
Dozed off."
Ringer glanced at her, and the golden-haired maid immediately stopped talking, turned away as if nothing had happened, and whistled at the small fountain on the street, as if the words just now did not come from her mouth - it is worth mentioning that she whistled
It also failed. After blowing for a long time, I couldn't make any sound.
After listening to Ringer's additional story and gaining a deeper understanding of the history of Nimshel, the "City of Fountains" and "International City", everyone followed the crowd and walked through what is said to be the city's
The Mindel Bridge with the longest span comes to the east area where the Municipal Square is located.
This is also the main exhibition area of the expo. The host Laisenberg, the Kingdom of Great Brita, the Great Empire of Mindrias, the White City-State Republic, Murtosh, Lisid and Laisinweir and other countries are all set up in this area.
The exhibition hall is located in the north area, and the northern area is the exhibition hall of Roggburg, Burnia, Alois and other countries.
It can be clearly seen from this division that the boundaries between strong and weak countries are particularly clear. The North District exhibition halls are basically small countries that have never been heard of. The only meaning of being invited to participate in the World Expo is to contrast and set off, and by the way, to satisfy
The curiosity and thirst for knowledge of some tourists.
Entering the East District, the environment is obviously more superior. The difference is that there are fewer natural rivers and waterways, and there are more artificial fountains, ditches, and tree-lined avenues. The style of the houses is beautiful and harmonious, and there are street parks, public taps, and street lights.
You can see public facilities at intervals such as the colorful decorations along the street, the garlands hanging on the roadside flowerbeds, the colorful balloons tied together... Even the snow on the streets has been swept away, and the bricks and stones are spotless. It seems that for
For this World Exposition, the Nimschel Municipal Government has made a lot of efforts.
When they arrived near the Municipal Square, they could no longer move forward because they were already surrounded by a huge crowd. Ringer and others could only do the next best thing and found a slightly remote and spacious place to wait for the opening ceremony speeches to take the stage.
.
Obviously nothing can be seen from such a long distance, so some impatient tourists even climbed up the nearby snow-covered trees covered with white frost, sat on the branches and stretched their necks to look at the venue in the center of the square, not caring about their buttocks.
The branches below were gradually bent, shaking off the lingering snow.
"I guess," Ringer looked at the tourists in the tree and said softly, "They should be Renweiting people."
"puff!"
Among all the people present, only Metien could understand this sentence and couldn't help but laugh out loud. However, he soon realized that this was not a good idea and quickly covered his mouth again, suppressing his face until his face turned red. It was very hard.
Even Xie Mi was jumping in her pocket, confused, not understanding what was happening.
Alice on the side looked weird: "This is a regional crime, Ringer, you are very incompetent."
She attempts to defeat her employer on a moral level to gain a psychological advantage.
Ringer replied calmly: "If you know that the Renweitin people call Rheatom the old digger, Rosting the midnight psychopath, Linwell the shelling undead, and Bruisers
If I call him a skinny firewood who can't stand up straight, call Ethel a bastard for herding, call Anchor Mountain a black-skinned mole... I wouldn't say that."
"Well, I'd like to take the liberty to ask, how many people did the Renweiting mock?"
"Everyone."
"Everyone?"
"Yes, including the Renwettins."
Alice stopped talking.
After listening to the entire conversation, Olvera and Saint Xalia looked at each other. The two sisters looked at each other. They did not expect that the names that humans use to ridicule the same kind could be so complex and connotative. After a long while, the shepherd girl opened her lips and recalled herself.
When dealing with the Moryya people in the past, he said: "In fact, they also called the Moryya people a hybrid between the devil and a goat, and thought that they used goat's beards and the blood of human reproductive organs for divination."
He said the most insulting words in the calmest tone. Obviously, although Saint Xalia had heard these words, she did not have a deep understanding of how hurtful they were.
Olvera sighed from the bottom of her heart: "The people of Lunweiting are really terrible."
…
After the visitors waited anxiously for more than ten minutes, the opening ceremony finally arrived. The previously mentioned heavyweights entered the venue one by one under the protection of security personnel. In the center of the square, some kind of decoration had already been arranged.
The strange-looking machine resembles the podium that Ringer used to teach. It is wrapped in brass and has gears, bearings and pipes inside that are connected to a loudspeaker-like device. A man is wearing a black formal suit, a wide-brimmed top hat and a walnut hat.
The middle-aged gentleman with a wooden cane walked up to the device and tried the sound on it. The sound instantly spread throughout the square, even covering up the noise of tourists, making the area around the Municipal Square quiet for a while.
He nodded with satisfaction. Seeing that the guests had all taken their seats, he cleared his throat and said: "Gentlemen and ladies, welcome to Nimschel, a city surrounded by rivers, fountains and water sources. I
He is the director of the Luberon Museum and emeritus professor at Nimschel University, Hansen David.”
"Today, we are gathered here to witness the opening of the 11th World Exposition."
"At the same time, it will also witness the history and future of mankind."
