"This is not a question of whether a sports meeting is a sports meeting or not, let alone a question of whether a competition is a competition, but an ideological struggle, a manifestation of dominance over the whole world!"

When the news of China's first World Games officially spread, a heated debate was also unfolding in Paris, France. The person who spoke was the French educator Pierre. Morality. Coubertin, he has a very well-known reputation in the original time and space - the father of the Olympic Games!

And now, the president of the International Olympic Committee, who single-handedly designed the Olympic emblem and Olympic flag, is watching his favorite 'child' being held to the throat by a sword from the East.

China's hosting of the World Games is backed by a powerful Chinese government, and if the Olympics continue to develop on the old path, they will fall far behind the World Games and eventually die in loneliness.

Pierre. Morality. Coubertin spoke to the current French president, Emile. Francois. Lube.

Although the real power of the government of the French Third Republic has been transferred to the prime minister, Lubet, who was elected prime minister of France for the 26th term, still has some influence. [The Gallic rooster is so messy, and few prime ministers can serve for a full year]

In 1892, he became prime minister and formed a cabinet. In August of the same year, he acted as an arbiter of a general strike by the coal miners of Carmo in southern France, giving the workers more rights in many respects, which was quelled. The Paris International Exposition, which will be held in April this year, was successfully held with his full support.

Pierre. Morality. Coubertin believed that such a sporting event as the Olympic Games. Rubebi Prime Minister René. Waldeck. Rousseau should be more enthusiastic. Rousseau now devoted much of his energies to the issue of 'legalization of trade unions in France'.

Rousseau, who became prime minister in June 1899, faced a wave of social demands to retry Dreyfus. A compromise was proposed: Dreyfus would be pardoned on behalf of the president, subject to upholding the original verdict. September 19th. Dreyfus is freed. Rousseau himself gained a great reputation from this. It laid a good foundation for his current cabinet to govern. The current issue of legalizing trade unions in France is another turbulent wave he is facing. Morality. Coubertin really didn't think that His Excellency the Prime Minister would be interested in the Olympics at this time!

-- The Dreyfus Affair

On 26 September 1894, French intelligence officers obtained an unsigned "note" addressed to Schwarzkoben, the German military attache in Paris, containing a list of confidential national defense information from the French Army Staff. The Army Staff suspected Dreyfus of doing it. On 15 October, a military tribunal arrested Dreyfus on charges of espionage and treason.

After Dreyfus's arrest, important French military intelligence continued to be leaked, which caused some departments of the army to be vigilant and began to re-examine Dreyfus's case. March 1896. Intelligence intercepted Schwartz's letter to a French officer, Ferdinand. Letter from Major Volshen-Estrazzi.

Later, when the head of the French counterintelligence service, Picard, reviewed Estrazzi's file and saw his application for transfer to the General Staff, and found that the handwriting was exactly the same as the note in Dreyfus's case. Picard was one of the few Protestant officers in the army and had integrity. He immediately reported the discovery to Deputy Chief of Staff Gunse and urged the army to reopen the case.

On November 14, 1896, Picard was expelled from the General Staff and sent to the Tunisian border to fight the Arabs. On April 2, 1897, he wrote a letter to the President of the Republic in Tunis, the envelope of which was indicated: "In case of my death. I have to hand it to the President of the Republic, the contents of which he should know only. On the occasion of his vacation back in Paris, he paid the trust to his close friend, lawyer Leblois.

On 10 January 1898, the military tribunal began hearing the charges against Estrazi. The judges and jurors are in accordance with the will of the above. Estrazzi was acquitted. The whole of France was outraged.

On January 13, Zola, a well-known writer who dared to stand up for the truth and uphold justice, came forward and published an article in the newspaper attacking the government. February. The military prosecuted Zola for "defamation", and Zola was sentenced to one year in prison. A fine of 3,000 francs......

-- The Dreyfus incident affected France from top to bottom, including the government, the army, the church, the press, political parties, groups, and families. Almost all of them were divided into two factions, those in favor of the retrial and those against the retrial, and the struggle was extremely fierce. Relatives and friends turn against each other because of arguments; divorce between husband and wife as a result; Even if family members and friends are reunited, as long as they talk about this case, they will be red-faced, and even scuffle, making a lot of trouble; The whole of France was plunged into a serious social and political crisis.

Rousseau's actions were not lacking in the meaning of mud, but Dreyfus was freed and complied with the wishes of at least half of the French. This man is a standard politician who pays attention to political interests in all his actions. Pierre. Morality. Of course, Coubertin himself cherished his children, but he was not at all confident that Rousseau would also fall in love with the Olympics.

Lubé was silent, what Coubertin said has a certain truth, the World Games and the Olympic Games opened at the same time, there will naturally be competition, and because of the difference between their respective dominators/dominators and hosts, the countries participating in these two games are virtually equivalent to standing in a team. It is really a superficial confrontation of the influence and dominance of the East and the West.

Coubertin hopes that in three months' time, they will be able to get the support of the French government. And if he could, Coubertin would have made this edition of the Olympic Games closely integrated with the Paris International Exposition, which lasted less than a month, with the Exposition in front.

Compared with the previous Athens Olympic Games, weightlifting and wrestling have been abolished, and archery, equestrian, water polo, rowing, sailing, football, rugby, golf and more have been added. There are 82 items in 18 categories, of which 60 are official competitions, and the rest are performances. There were 21 more countries than in the previous edition, with India, Haiti and Canada outside the European region. Among them, there is only one Indian player, one who studied in the United Kingdom and is named No. Pritchard's student.

Coubertin hoped that the French government would step forward to stand up for the Olympics, so that the competition could be more serious and formal, if not more countries could participate. Of course, everything needs the support of the golden franc.

With money, the Organising Committee can prepare better venues and conditions for the competition, which can provide more convenience for athletes. Just as the World Games advertised, they will reimburse all the travel expenses of the athletes, solve the food and accommodation problems of the athletes and coaches during the competition, and even prepare a variety of meals for athletes from different countries, different regions and different tastes. The Chinese also developed a unified gold, silver and bronze medal in the true sense of the word, with a diameter of 70 mm and a thickness of 6 mm. On the front of the medal is a dove holding up the earth, the wings of the dove turned into a pair of hands, and the symbol of the World Games is engraved underneath - five rings, a pattern that is very familiar to the earthlings in later generations. It represents the five continents of the planet - Europe, Asia, Africa, Oceania and the Americas.

That's right, this is the five-ring chart that was completely equated with the Olympic Games in the original time and space. The World Games also need a logo, and when Liu Xian found out that the logo of the Athens Olympics was not the Olympic rings at all, he calmly brought the ring map to the World Games.

In the original historical time and space, this pattern did not appear until 1913. Therefore, no one thought that Liu Xian was plagiarizing, and would only nod his head, approve and praise. The five rings represent the five continents of mankind, the dove of peace and its hands hold the earth, and the edges are decorated with olive branches, which immediately put everything in the Paris Olympics into the quagmire.

The back of the medal is inlaid with a jade bi in the shape of an ancient Chinese dragon pattern, and the metal figure in the center of the back is engraved with the Great Wall of China.

The World Games is marked by peace, and the Great Wall of China has nothing to do with invasion at all, anyone who comes to see the Great Wall will define it as defense and resistance, and peace and the momentum and strength of today's China immediately have a meaning!

Medals will not only be gold-inlaid with jade, but silver, bronze and gold medals will be the same. Whether it is a single competition or a multiplayer competition, China has prepared plenty of medals. All multiplayer competitions, such as football, basketball, and some team competitions, have a commemorative trophy in addition to the gold medal.

I don't know where the medals of the Paris Olympics are, and if Coubertin didn't catch chickens in his heart, he wouldn't be the father of the Olympics.

"Mr. President, man is a very blind animal, and they are very susceptible to external influences. Think about it, if the Olympic Games, which bring together the essence of the entire white movement, the competition records, the competition venues, and the conditions, are not as good as the Chinese, what a major blow to the self-confidence of today's Europe? ”

The confrontation between the East and the West, and the all-round confrontation between the white race and the yellow and colored races, is already an unavoidable topic. Coubertin simply took it for his own use. He sincerely hoped for Lubet's help.

The Chinese are too loud. In addition to his group of younger brothers and his own huge territory in the East Asian circle, there are six countries in the Americas, Mexico, Panama, Nicaragua, Peru, Bolivia, and Paraguay, plus Persia, Egypt, and Ottomans in the Middle East, and Abyssinian in North Africa, there are already ten countries.

And in Europe, Yan and Zhao needless to say, both Russia all responded to the invitation of the World Games, Russia's civil war has weakened the former huge empire, and the war has been fought until now, both sides are losers, and neither has been able to destroy the other. Moscow had a slight upper hand on the battlefield, and the front as a whole advanced hundreds of miles to the west, and stabilized the situation. Unfortunately, there was not enough stamina, and since the summer of 1899, there have been no large-scale battles between Dish Russia and Poor Party Russia, and there have been very few short battles even at the division level. Both countries are exhausted. This World Games will be the beginning of their 'peaceful contact'! In addition, there are Ukraine, Belarus, Lithuania, Finland and other countries. It was China that rescued them from Tsarist Russia, and their participation in the World Games was their reward for China.

The power and influence of the Chinese in Eastern Europe today are not weak at all! (To be continued......)
