When it comes to Africa, people's first impression may be of a vast desert as far as the eye can see, or a small black man in the middle of the eye.

Although the Sahara Desert is the largest desert in the world, it is only a part of North Africa, which is also home to mountains, lakes and vast forests.

Africa's natural resources are very superior, not only rich in underground mineral resources, but also a lot of surface resources.

It's a pity that the superior natural environment has raised a group of people who can only hunt, and they seem to have no other life skills except hunting, and in many places, if there is no resource input from the suzerain, I am afraid that the population will drop by half in less than a year.

All starved to death.

In order to maintain their colonial rule, the European overlords had to continue to transfuse blood into the colonies.

Of course, the suzerains are not saints, they are also drawing blood at the same time as they are transfusing blood. Mineral resources are pumped, and materials are imported that can sustain the living of the colonial people.

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

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

From this point of view, Qin Zhiyuan is indeed France's tinkerer now. When there is a problem in Corsica, Qin Zhiyuan will go to Corsica; When there was a problem on the front line of the French army, Qin Zhiyuan had to lead his army to fight with the Germans; When problems arise in Algeria, Qin Zhiyuan is also the best person to solve them.

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

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

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

If you can't copy it, you can't copy it, Qin Zhiyuan doesn't want to completely copy the experience of Corsica, the biggest excitement of life is to face different unknowns at any time, if it is repeated day after day, it will be too boring.

So Qin Zhiyuan, who has the idea of responding to new challenges at any time, welcomed a new guest: Lillard Aisara.

After listening to Lillard Issara's self-introduction, Qin Zhiyuan stretched out his hand to Lillard Issa: "Lillard, hello." ”

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

"You can call me Azhara, Your Excellency." Lillard Isharra's expression wasn't pretty.

Afterwards, Qin Zhiyuan learned that for ordinary Algerians, it is okay to call them by their first name, but for Algerians with a certain social status, they should be called by their surnames.

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

But Lillard Isshara certainly didn't think so, this lawyer who runs a law firm in Paris seemed to be spoiled by the French people's soft policy, and directly corrected Qin Zhiyuan's mistakes, not to mention, he dared not to reach out and respond to Qin Zhiyuan's kindness.

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

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

"No, no one will refuse your friendship, Your Excellency, Commander, but you should respect our customs, knowing that I had been waiting outside your office for three hours before meeting you." Lillard Isshara is unaware of the gravity of his mistakes and only emphasizes his feelings one-sidedly.

"So before that, do you have any respect for me?" After Qin Zhiyuan returned to his desk, he sat down on the chair by himself, without giving up his seat, and even Mixia, who brought the coffee, was waved away by Qin Zhiyuan.

"Of course I respect you, I came and waited for three hours, isn't that enough to prove my respect?" Lillard Essara, aware of the change in Qin Zhiyuan's attitude towards him, explained quickly and hurriedly.

As Lillard Esshara spoke, he pulled up the chair across from his work and sat down in the desert.

Well, the profession of a lawyer is actually quite shameless under normal circumstances, the truth is not important, the important thing is to be able to tell it like the truth.

"You're not God, there's no way I'm going to let go of the affairs in my hands to cater to your time, and you're not qualified for that yet." Qin Zhiyuan was not polite at all.

If it weren't for the fact that he represented a local, Lillard Essara wouldn't even be qualified to meet Qin Zhiyuan, a lawyer might be a big man in Algeria, where education is not widespread, but in Paris, he is nothing, and there is no comparison with a general with real power in his hands.

"I knew you had a brilliant record, but I didn't expect you to be such an arrogant person." Lillard Ishshara began to take a detour.

"Whether you are arrogant or not, it depends on whether the other party is worthy of respect, you have a bad impression on me now, to be honest, I don't want to deal with a guy who doesn't even know basic social etiquette. Or you know, but you're stressing about what you deserve and forgetting what you should give. Qin Zhiyuan took a sip of coffee, he was ready to end this unpleasant conversation.

"We've given a lot, we've given almost everything, how can we have nothing to give? Have you obliterated almost everything we have, the resources we have submerged for you to exploit, the crops we grow to feed your luxury, and the blood of our people to die for you? But what do you bring to us? Only full of trauma and endless grief! "Lillard Isshara looks righteous and his words are infectious, and he is a lawyer.

"What does it mean to plunder? Only if you don't pay the price is it called plunder. But are we not paying any price? Apparently not! We did mine the resources and use the natives as miners, but we also paid them so they could feed their families. We did buy the produce, but at the same time we paid for it, and if you were to ask us what we brought here, look at the clothes you were wearing, the cars you were in when you came here, the roads on which you traveled, we brought them, would you be willing to live back in your tent if we didn't import these industrial goods? Even the food you eat is brought by us, and if it weren't for our input, would you live only by eating grapes? "Qin Zhiyuan is not without the power to fight back.

In fact, Qin Zhiyuan knew very well in his heart that what the two of them said was a false proposition. The plundering of the colonies by the suzerains is based on unequal exchanges, 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 the gold left to us by your ancestors, and then gave us back a bunch of brass, do you want us to be grateful for this kind of behavior?" Lillard Essara doesn't understand, but from Lillard Essara's standpoint, he can only insist.

"Don't say it so tragically, 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, and for the Berbers, you are also outsiders." Qin Zhiyuan did not hesitate to defile himself, but also pulled the other party into the water.

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

"You, are you trying to legally erase the meaning of our entire nation?" Lillard Esshara was taken aback, as he seemed to sense a serious crisis looming.

"No one wants to erase your people, don't pretend to be a victim all day long, those Berbers are victims relative to you." Qin Zhiyuan still talked about the Berbers, which Lillard Isshara couldn't refute.

"After all, it was a long time ago, and we should still focus on the present. For example, if you drink alcohol in public, you should know that we have a tradition of not drinking alcohol, so please limit it appropriately. "Lillard Isshara turns back to the present, and doesn't dwell on what happened more than a dozen centuries ago.

Lillard Isharra's fetishism is indeed not allowed to drink alcohol.

This is understandable, considering that Lillard Eshara used to be a nomadic people, they did not produce at all, and naturally there was no surplus food to make wine, so their prophet simply did not allow the appearance of "wine" in order to better control the people.

"Yes, your tradition is that you are not allowed to drink alcohol, but at the same time, there are many ethnic customs that you can drink, and you have to drink some of it no matter what happens, so what should you do? Do we respect your customs and not respect the customs of others? "Qin Zhiyuan is actually talking about Chinese, including French......

Well, in fact, except for a few people in this world, most of them drink alcohol. Even Algerians drink secretly and buy alcoholic beverages from stores. It's just that they don't drink alcohol in public, and even if they buy alcohol, they will wrap it in newspaper or stuff it in their clothes and buy it secretly, which is a shame if someone finds out.

Speaking of which, Algerians are also hiding their ears and stealing bells, and they will do things that will make them happy.

In fact, not only Algerians, but everyone will subconsciously seek good fortune and avoid evil, which is one of human nature.
