"Who are you talking about, Keith?" Catherine listened to Keith's words and got up straight from the couch.

Keith shrugged: "I'm talking about the Eagle people who sent missiles to Syria. Good thing we're Scottish. ”

It is not a contradiction to say this, but the Scots really never think of themselves as eagles。。。。。

"You damn Scottish bastard!" said Catherine angrily.

"Hmph, you damned warmongers!" Keys and a few other Scots stood up.

The contradiction between the Scots and the Eagle Nation is a contradiction that has not been resolved for thousands of years.

A long, long time ago (about 1,900 years ago, in fact), there was a group of Celts in the north of the island of Great Britain who were able to fight and name their territory Scotland after their tribes. It wasn't until the fifth century that the Anglo-Saxons, the ancestors of the Eagle Nation, migrated from the continent and drove the Celts into the remote mountains of the British Isles, and the newcomers called their territory England.

For more than 1,200 years, the Kingdom of Scotland was first unified as an independent state, and 400 years later, England was also unified, and a large-scale brutal war began between the two countries.

The Hollywood movie "Braveheart" is about that period. The film gives an insight into William Wallace (despite the glorification, there is still controversy today about whether William Wallace is a hero or a villain). However, there is also a problem with this movie, that is, the word 'braveheart' in Western history is actually an allusion to Robert Bruce, that is, the guy who betrayed William Wallace in the movie, but after Mel Gibson used it as the title of the movie, people mistakenly thought that it was William Wallace.

Uh, that is, the wallgrass who betrayed William Wallace, led the Scots to continue the rebellion against the English after his death, and finally became the king of Scotland, which finally ended the war.

And hundreds of years later, with the death of the famous Queen Elizabeth I of England (not the old lady she is now), her maternal nephew, King James VI of Scotland, succeeded him as King of England and became James I. Then one king ruled over the two countries, the governments ran separately, and England and Scotland, which had long been opposed, became the confederation.

But in the Age of Discovery, something happened that is amazing to this day, a series of divine operations in Scotland, and the operation of its sovereignty was gone!

Here's the thing: Scotland saw that the European brothers had gone to bully the natives to make money. They also want to get some money, but they don't have the money?

So they borrowed money from the English Parliament, and when they had it, they immediately went to colonize.

It's a pity that they found the wrong target and went to Panama.

At that time, Panama had always been regarded as its own colony by Spain, so how could Scotland be allowed to intervene? So there was a war between the two countries, and Scotland was finally defeated, and the money borrowed was also lost, and it was impossible to repay the debt it borrowed from England.

So what to do? Simple, give up sovereignty, the Scottish Parliament also moved to London, so in 1707, the two countries signed the Act of Union, and the United Kingdom of Great Britain was born.

But to this day, Scotland has not stopped looking for awkwardness in the Eagle Country.

Because the birth of the Act of Union meant that Scotland was annexed by England, this was opposed by the majority of the people, and this resentment has not dissipated to this day.

To this day, the Scots deliberately do not speak standard English, but speak the Scottish dialect with a strong accent, and when it comes to watching football games, Scotland and England are eternal enemies, and when it comes to the World Cup, it is always the Scots who cheer England's opponents the most。。。。。。

They have always focused on retaining their independence. All bills of the Eagle Nation must have the character of two countries. There is to be a Scottish component, and Scotland is to retain its own national law and religion.

And after joining the Eagle Country, Scotland is really a good day.

He said that he was proud of his Scottish identity, but his body was very honest about accepting the benefits from the British Empire, and obtaining the benefits of overseas markets and colonies.

But after the two world wars, the prosperity of the Eagle Nation was gone, and the political and economic influence declined significantly, so Scotland felt that there was no future for following the Eagle Nation, so the large-scale Scottish independence movement began to develop, and to this day, Scotland is still making referendums every day.

This eagle country criticizes this country every day, and judges that country, but the affairs of its own country have not yet been resolved: today the Scots are fighting for independence, tomorrow the Welsh people are going to take off the eagle, and they are busy fighting in the nest every day. In the eyes of the Scots, the English are arrogant and hypocritical, and in the eyes of the English, the Scots are the representatives of vulgarity.

The relationship between Scotland and England is best summed up by a certain pope's visit to the Eagle Country: "There is nothing more pleasant to the Scots than to insult the English." ”

And the Scottish eagle, in addition to the problems left over from history, the most important reason is that money is troublesome!

THE PRODUCTION OF THE NORTH SEA OIL FIELDS OFF SCOTLAND CONTINUES TO INCREASE, MAKING THE UK THE THIRD LARGEST OIL PRODUCER AND THE FOURTH LARGEST NATURAL GAS PRODUCER IN EUROPE, BUT THE HUGE PROFITS FROM THE FIELDS ARE OWNED BY THE EAGLE STATE CENTRAL ZHENGFU, WHICH ALSO PAYS NEARLY 9 BILLION POUNDS IN OIL AND GAS TAXES EVERY YEAR.

For Scots, this is not only the equivalent of sharing dinner with their neighbours, but also paying a lot of money for no reason. And if Scottish independence succeeds, now 95 percent of the oil fields and 60 percent of the gas fields in the Eagle Kingdom will belong to Scotland, can the Eagle Kingdom make Scotland independent? Can Scotland not want to become independent?

In the contradiction between Scotland and England, there is no respect for the old and love for the young, the three Scottish pickles and Catherine directly began to look at each other angrily------- India directly chose not to help each other, for Shetland, who grew up, England and Scotland, it has nothing to do with her.

For a while, the house was full of chickens and dogs, and in the end it was Jacques who stepped in and stopped the pointless quarrel.

Xiao Peng looked at the attitude of the people next to him, well, this is definitely not the first time such a quarrel has happened. Looking at the crowd of people next to him, drinking coffee when they should be drinking coffee, and chatting in a whispered voice, this is not strange for a long time!

The quarrel between the two sides finally ended, Qiao glanced at Xiao Peng, lit another cigarette, and said to Xiao Peng without words: "Xiao, you don't smoke, you don't have any manliness at all, and you still blow all the girls to bubble you?"

Speaking of this, the Scottish trio laughed together, Kabaeva had not spoken, but at this time she frowned and said: "Who said that no one likes Xiao? I like Xiao, he is a real man!" After saying that, she took the cigarette from Keith's hand and lit it casually: "Smoking doesn't mean anything!"

Xiao Peng coughed dryly: "That, what I want to say is that I actually smoke, but I can't get used to your cigarettes." ”

After speaking, Xiao Peng took out a cigar box and a white cigarette box from his pocket, thought about it and put the cigar box back in his pocket: "You taste my cigarettes?"

Keith was stunned when he saw Xiao Peng's cigarette: "Wow, you smoke well." ”

There is a very interesting thing in the Eagle Country, such as 555 and Dunhill, which are basically not sold in the so-called Eagle Country. And the smoke of the Stars and Stripes such as "Camel", "Good Color" and "Marlboro" is not uncommon here.

However, considering the price, they prefer brands such as 'Benson' and 'L&B', a pack only needs about seven pounds, and 'Good Color' is more than forty pounds, and only rich people can smoke cigarettes in the Eagle Country, just like the Chinese people smoke a truth in China------ buying cigarettes in the Eagle Country is so expensive!

Many people think that the people of Eagle Country are gentlemen and ladies, and the smoking ban is very strong, so few people should smoke.

But this can't stop the people of the Eagle Country from loving cigarettes, where the streets are full of men and women are smoking, and there are more women than men, even under the non-smoking sign, there are many people who smoke if no one smokes.

And this 'good color' cigarette is indeed one of the cigarettes that the people of Eagle Country like very much----- although it is very expensive.

As a special cigarette for the army of the Stars and Stripes during World War II, it can be seen in almost all World War II films. 'Camel' cigarettes too, but camels are cheap, and a good box of good color tops the cost of five or six boxes of camels.

Kabaeva suddenly frowned, and looked at the colorful cigarette in Xiao Peng's hand: "Xiao, can I take a look at your cigarette case?"

Xiao Peng laughed, handed the cigarette case to Kabaeva, tsk, the time to pretend to be forced has come again.

Kabaeva took the cigarette case, looked at Xiao Peng for a while, and didn't say a word for a while.

Keith and the others, who were smoking on the side, looked at Kabaeva: "This cigarette is really good to smoke, but Kabaeva, why do you have such an expression?"

Kabaeva came back to her senses when she heard this, and said with a wry smile: "If you knew the truth, you would also have this expression." Xiao, please tell me that this is indeed the cigarette I thought, not a replica. ”

Xiao Peng smiled and nodded: "You recognize it." That's right, that's it. ”

The conversation between the two made the person next to him stunned, what did you say?

Kabaeva looked at Xiao Peng and said with a smile: "Let him tell you." ”

This cigarette, just like people, is divided into grades, and different grades of cigarettes have different functions.

As the winner of the 'Ashtray Award', China's cigarette market is a mess.

The so-called 'Ashtray Award' is selected by the World Health Organization and awarded to countries that are not active in tobacco control. The reason for Huaxia's award is that 'I would rather have a beautiful cigarette box than the health of citizens'.

This is also a helpless thing, in the sale of cigarettes in countries around the world, there must be warning pictures on the cigarette box, such as smoking black lungs, smoking caused by disease symptoms to warn consumers, but Huaxia does not have this rule.

Even if the cigarettes produced by Huaxia themselves are packaged elegantly and generously in China, if they are exported to foreign countries, they will be branded with disgusting photos and sold as harmful plants in a low-key manner.

Even if the World Health Organization (WHO) promulgated the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, Huaxia, as one of the signatories, only moved the original 'smoking is harmful to health' on the side of the cigarette pack to the front.

The people of China's tobacco companies really control the market demand of consumers to the extreme. The same cigarette, with a different packaging and a different brand, can be sold at a sky-high price!

At that time, the market price of cigarettes in China was called a chaotic one, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, only you can't think of it, there is nothing you can't buy.

At that time, the 'sky-high cigarette director' Zhou Jiugeng smoked Nanjing's 'Ninety-Five Supreme', a box of one hundred and five pushed him to the forefront, and he was most discredited and imprisoned, but as everyone knows, the 'Ninety-Five Supreme' is really sorry for the name 'Sky-high cigarettes'.

There are 20,000 boxes of Liqun's 'Fuchun Mountain Residence', 10,000 boxes of gold leaf 'Heavenly Leaves', Dazhongjiu's 'Nine Plus One', Yellow Crane Tower's 'Chinese Dream' and 'Golden Years', and so on。。。。。。

Let's just say that in China, there are not 100 kinds of cigarettes that are more expensive than the '95 Supreme', but there are 80 kinds!

And who are these 'sky-high cigarettes' sold to? Just ask me, how many people buy these sky-high cigarettes and smoke them themselves?

Don't blame the common people for thinking wildly, after all, the more opaque the operation of rights and the status of property, the more room for imagination.

At present, the biggest contradiction in China is actually the contradiction between the growing intelligence of the masses and the declining morality of the officials.

The state also discovered this problem, so it introduced a price limit order, requiring that the price of all finished cigarettes should not exceed 1,000 pieces. There are still people who secretly sell sky-high cigarettes, but don't get caught, if you are caught, you will be severely punished.

But compared to the Stars and Stripes, these so-called 'sky-high cigarettes' in China are really 'drizzle'.

In fact, there is no 'sky-high price of cigarettes' in the Stars and Stripes, and all politicians in the Stars and Stripes countries will always be a gesture calling for citizens to ban smoking in front of the media, regardless of whether they smoke in private or not. Over there, as long as there is a roof, there is no room for smokers, so over there, cigarettes are never a gift for relatives and friends, and naturally there is no distinction between high and low grades, and all cigarettes are almost the same price.

And they prefer to smoke cigars, and they are used to using cigars to divide their status. Smokers are all low-level and uneducated。。。。。。

But there is only one exception to this cigarette, and that is the limited commemorative edition of 'Good Luck'.

How much does it cost? $100,000 a box!

Of course, this cigarette is worth this money. The packaging of the whole cigarette box is made of white gold, inlaid with a natural ruby and a diamond, this cigarette is expensive on the cigarette box!

Xiao Peng took this cigarette.

This was still bought by Pagio at the time, there were only ten boxes in total, and four boxes were given to Xiao Peng, but Peggy was holding this cigarette for collection, and he was reluctant to smoke it.

Well, Xiao Peng is actually reluctant to smoke it, after all, he only has four boxes. But at this time, it is still taken out.

Is it worth it to come up with something so expensive just to pretend to be in front of a few students?

Well, it's worth it!
