Chapter 210: Arabs
"Where's the equipment?" Liu Zhi asked again.
"They all use iron weapons, wear light leather armor, most of them have their heads wrapped in cloth or wear hats, and even among the soldiers, few of them are equipped with helmets, like some desert peoples in the movies."
Liu Zhi nodded, he actually guessed who it was, the expeditionary force had passed through the sphere of influence that belonged to the Huaxia Federation in the previous life, and came to the central and western part of the Taining Plain, where the most concentrated people were Japanese, Indians and Arabs.
Needless to say, India is dominated by whites and blacks, and most of the whites have slightly darker skin, and the only ones left are Arabs.
The Arabs are an indefinable people, and after thousands of years of tempering and religious integration, this nation finally seems to have succeeded in integration. But historically, the Arabs have become nothing more than a specious people until modern times!
Before the establishment of the Arab Empire (known as the Great Food Country in ancient times), the word Arabic was more of a geographical concept than a national concept because of the dispersion of tribes, the lack of concentration of manpower, the barren location, and the slow development of productive forces.
Because at that time, the Arabs lived more in tribal units in the northern part of the Arabian Peninsula. Their identification with their tribe is much stronger than their identity, and the tribes are like the terrain of the Arabian Peninsula: scattered and fighting each other.
After the establishment of the Arab Empire, the prosperity of religion really enabled the Arabs to break free from the shackles of tribal concepts and embark on the road of integration into the Arab nation.
However, since the middle of the Abbasid Empire, the power of the Arab Empire began to decline: the Fatimids suddenly rose up and established a separate caliphate against the Abbasid center; The Crusades defeated the Arabs, and the Kurdish Saladin led his troops to repel the crusaders and made him the Sultan of Egypt and Syria (similar to the official position of governor); The Turks occupied the eastern borders of the Arab Empire and also controlled the caliphate; In the end, the Mongol expedition to the west broke through the last glory of the Arabs, which also interrupted the process of Arabs integrating from tribes to nations and then to nations.
Since then, it has been difficult to see Arabs on the stage of the Arab world, and even the caliphate (meaning head of the empire) is hereditary by the emperor of the Ottoman Empire. The Arabs ceased to be the masters of their own land, but became slaves of the Turks.
This changed only after World War I, when the Arabs regained their state on the ruins of the Ottoman Empire. However, the Western powers that propped up the Arab regimes drew their borders according to their own needs, so that the Arabs could check and balance each other and ensure that their interests were not affected.
Therefore, the long-awaited reunification of the Arabs has always been a castle in the air, and even after the establishment of the League of Arab States, it has not changed much, except that they speak the same mother tongue, and their ancestors once lived in the Arabian Peninsula, but they have always been at odds with each other.
It was not until after the crossing that they suddenly realized that the opportunity to establish a unified Arab state had come, and they were no longer surrounded by the conspiracy of the Western powers, and finally there was hope for them to change from a nation to a nation.
In the previous life, the Arabs developed very quickly, they were united and self-disciplined, always fought together, it was difficult to divide from the inside, the best way to conquer them was to overwhelm them militarily, but among the neighboring forces, even if they were as strong as the Indian Union and the Chinese Federation, they had never done this, this nation had finally shown strong cohesion after more than a thousand years of division, and they did their best to not miss every opportunity, and truly grew into one of the largest forces that attracted attention, the demeanor of the great empire of West Asia, Finally reappeared in the Atlas after a thousand years!
"In this way, it should be people from certain countries."
Liu Zhi thought for a while, and said to the sentry: "In this way, you don't have to probe anymore, do a good job of vigilance, if you find that the other party's scouts are invading, you are welcome, you should kill, but it is better to bring a living mouth back." ”
"Yes."
After the sentry retreated, Ye Zhao walked in, he approached and said mysteriously: "Chief, there is a Japanese named Yano Junhei outside the door who wants to see you, do you see it?" ”
Junhei Yano?
Liu Zhi quickly remembered that such a person was the deputy of the camp leader Hiroshi Sakamoto, who spoke Chinese quite fluently, but his pronunciation was a little strange, and he groaned slightly, and asked Ye Zhao: "He didn't say what happened?" ”
"By the way, he brought two women over, saying that he wanted to introduce them to you."
Introduce a woman to me? Liu Zhi raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "What woman?" ”
Ye Zhao hesitated and said, "Uh...... are two quite famous AV actresses, Junhei Yano said they ...... They're all very skilled, for sure...... Definitely ......."
When he said this, he glanced at Liu Zhi, and saw that his face was strange, and he was a little stunned, so he didn't dare to continue.
At this time, he smiled and said, "Is it possible to serve the leader comfortably?" ”
Ye Zhao was stunned, he didn't expect Duan Qi to dare to speak, he secretly admired it in his heart, and replied in a low voice: "That's almost what it means." ”
Duan Qi grinned and said: "Hey, these little Japan are really good, they have all gone to the other world, and they haven't forgotten to carry forward their special culture." ”
Although he sneered, there was a look of longing to see and see.
"............" Ye Zhao couldn't hear whether he was asking or talking to himself, and when he saw that Liu Zhi didn't say anything, he didn't talk to him.
Liu Zhi was somewhat speechless, when he was young and vigorous in his previous life, he did come into contact with many AV actresses for various reasons, but ten years have passed, even if those who often watch it, he can't remember what he looks like, not to mention that he is now in a high position, in charge of the life and death of tens of thousands of people, what kind of woman he wants is not a matter of waving his hand, even if there is no Gu Xiaoying, it is impossible for him to look down on these women who are willing to dedicate themselves to "art", and said to Ye Zhao with a little dissatisfaction: "If there is such a thing in the future, you can go back directly, you don't have to ask me specifically." ”
"Yes!" Ye Zhao responded in panic and quickly retreated.
Duan Qi was a little disappointed, he was really a little curious about the two actresses, and wanted to know if they were the ones who often communicated, but since Liu Zhi had spoken, he would not be bored anymore, since he knew about the alien race outside the world, although he was still uninhibited on the surface, in fact, whether it was cultivation or commanding the army, he was too much more concerned than before, this change was due to responsibility, and the second was because of pressure.
Liu Zhi has always rarely asked about their private lives, as long as he doesn't sink into them, but even so, between refusing to enjoy them and enjoying them as much as possible, Duan Qi still decisively chose the former.
