Chapter 580: Ming and Europe Balance of Power
It is precisely because of the continuous occurrence of all kinds of strange incidents that Zhu Fugui, the president of the Olympic Committee, has also become very busy.
On September 17, halfway through the race.
On this day, Zhu Fugui, as a few days ago, used breakfast time to approve the violation penalty letter reported by Morishita.
For example, in the marathon yesterday afternoon, a French athlete collapsed from exhaustion on the way, and was transported to the township health center by a kind fellow in a fertilizer tukka.
As a result, he jumped halfway through the car and reached the finish line first.
The Frenchman said he did not understand Chinese and did not know that it was a fertilizer truck and that the destination was a hospital.
I jumped out of the car because I was scared.
According to Morishita's verdict, the French athlete did not stretch out his arms and display the French flag when he was in danger, which fully shows that he knew that he was not in danger at the time, and subjectively had the intention of using the vehicle to cheat.
As a result, he was found guilty of a foul and disqualified from the rest of the game.
This incident caused a protest from the French delegation.
Zhu Fugui thought about it again and again, and replied: Handle it according to the regulations. If the French friends have any opinions, they can ask Comrade Napoleon to negotiate on their behalf.
It took more than an hour for Zhu Fugui to finally finish dealing with these trivial matters.
Yin Susu had just cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and put on a formal robe for Zhu Fugui, and Xiao Gao, the coach and leader of the Daming men's football team, came over to ask for a meeting.
Xiao Gao is a descendant of Gao Yu, with good football genes, and is the captain and coach of the original Fengdu Workers Football Team.
Now it can be regarded as an order to bring this Ming men's football team.
The reason why I have to face the saint is because the enemy that the football team has to face this afternoon is not simple.
It was none other than the British Empire men's football team.
In times of peace, sport is a continuation of politics.
On the eve of the war, sports were a powerful weapon to unite national confidence and strengthen national consciousness, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it was a more advanced form of mobilization order.
At least Austrian art students proved with the 1936 Berlin Olympics that this trick worked.
Xiao Gao didn't have such a high political position, and he couldn't think of so many calculations, but he also instinctively realized that the battle between Ming and Ying must not be lost.
Zhu Fugui comforted Xiao Gao a few words, asking him to implement everything as planned and not to put extra pressure on the boys.
If the men's football team loses, they will go to the mine to lead the white slaves to dig coal or something, it's just a joke in the market, and everyone must not take it to heart.
Zhu Fugui didn't know if his relief had any effect, anyway, Xiao Gao seemed to be more nervous when he left.
What a guy with no sense of humor.
Seeing off Xiao Gao, Zhu Fugui also set off for the gymnasium again.
Because today is not only the afternoon of Mingying's focus fight, but also the morning is also a heavyweight match.

After a 4-in-1 group stage, the teams that are currently in the quarterfinals have nothing left to eat......
Probably......
They are the Ming Dynasty, England, France, Spain, Austria, Western Chu, Taiping Huaguo, and the Tongliao team.
In terms of composition, the contingent from West Asia, South Asia, Southeast Asia, and Latin America has been wiped out.
The European countries and the Ming forces emerged as the winners of the group stage.
Among them, the qualifications of Western Chu and Taiping Huaguo were expected by Zhu Fugui.
Xi Chu is actually the trumpet of the Ming Dynasty.
A few of the contestants were simply the instructors of the Ming Dynasty, and the rest were also apprentices brought out by them.
On the premise that everyone is a non-professional player, the military football has a little advantage in execution.
Xichu also has a disadvantage, that is, the Hunan people-based team is relatively short.
However, with the opening of the situation in the Western Regions and Central Asia, it is believed that the day when Hunan people can eat mutton and rice every day is not far away.
At that time, the height of the new generation of Western Chu people may usher in a blowout.
The players on Daming's side come from all over the world, and the base is relatively large, so it is natural to select athletes who are both tall and flexible.
The average height of the Ming men's football team reached an astonishing 1.75 meters, and only the Ottoman Turkish team, which had already been eliminated, surpassed Daming among the participating countries.
This is because Brother Abdul has hired a group of slaves from Serbia and Montenegro to play football.
I have to say, these guys are really tall.
In other European countries, such as Britain, France, Germany, Sweden, Belgium and the Netherlands, the average height of athletes is just over 1.70m, while Spain and Italy are only 1.65m.
It's not that they don't have big and tall people in the country, but the football population is not as big as Daming, so there are few choices.
There was only Osman who didn't know how to play football at all, so he casually found a group of goods to make up the numbers, but instead won the title of the tallest one.

In addition to Western Chu, the qualification of Taiping Huaguo was also expected by Zhu Fugui.
After all, they have been trapped in Tianjing City for more than three years, and they have no entertainment except for the football and related rules issued by the Heavenly Father.
In South America, the local mixed-race ethnic groups also generally like football, and the two are superimposed, making the football foundation of Taiping Huaguo quite good.
In the group stage, they knocked down strong opponents such as the Netherlands and Sweden one after another, which shocked the popularity of the Worship of God.
Hong Xiuquan, who was far away in Machu Picchu, learned of this and also published a "Letter to the Global Church".
Hong Xiuquan pointed out.
False religious men: Believe in Catholicism, Lutheran and other false beliefs, and are extremely weak on the green field.
A true religious man: convert to worship God, believe in the Father and get eternal life, and go down the mountain on the green field.
At the same time, Hong Xiuquan also shouted to Pope Pius IX of the Vatican, urging him to abdicate as soon as possible, return to the throne, and not stand on the opposite side of the believers and the Heavenly Father, and move against the tide of history.
In short, the fact that such a displaced regime as Taiping Huaguo advanced to the quarterfinals of the Olympic football tournament made all the soldiers and civilians under the Thirteen Kings rejoice.

Compared with the qualifying of Xichu and Lahua, the qualification of the Tongliao men's football team was really beyond Zhu Fugui's expectations.
If it is said that Xichu won by Ming aid, and Lahua won by atmosphere, then the Tongliao men's football team won by luck.
First of all, no one in Quantongliao, or the entire Horqin grassland, has ever heard of football, not even Keju.
From Prince Sotna downwards, every Mongol warrior expedition to North America was to sell goods except for publicly-funded tourism.
They chartered the Asia Express ocean freighter from the Wajima Prefecture to come to Daming.
In addition to the seventy-two Mongolian warriors, there was also a large amount of fresh seafood brought with the ship...... Dry.
There is no way, except for a few royal fishing vessels that create foreign exchange for His Majesty Zhu Fugui, most ocean-going ships do not know how to freeze equipment.
It's too difficult to engage in cold chain transportation these days.
However, even if it was only dry goods, the Tongliao Khan still obtained a large amount of Minghui.
He used these Minghui to buy all kinds of Ming goods and small commodities in Daming, and he could make a lot of money when he returned to Beijing.
So it doesn't matter if you win a medal or not, Prince Suo is the same as Grandpa Li Hongzhang, and his mentality is quite relaxed.
Even three hours before the first game of the Tongliao men's football team, the prince of Sotna did not know how to play football.
He spent a lot of money to buy a copy of "Football Beginner to Mastery", and then picked a few Wolong and Phoenix chicks, and went to the referee team to register the list.
Thankfully, their opponents didn't know how to play football.
As a dictator like Abdul, Zhu Fugui is also a person who rejoices in great achievements.
That's why there were difficult and lengthy negotiations with the British Empire that eventually reciprocally released the vassal states to compete.
There are a lot of teams in this football tournament, otherwise there would not be 4 teams in the group to 1, and there will be 8 teams to play in the quarterfinals.
4X8=32, that is, a full 32 countries and regions participated in the Olympic football tournament.
The quality of it can be imagined.
The first opponent of the Tongliao team was one of the indiscriminate and indiscriminate ones.
