I can understand that every country has its own historical context, and Peru is the same. But if it's Andrey's country that I don't understand, why hasn't it been colonized? It's surrounded by great powers. I'm really curious.

In addition, Switzerland has not been exposed to war in modern times, and people have the impression that they are particularly peace-loving, but I see the flag of your country. Mary laughed too! I'm really reminded of that particularly iron-blooded Middle Ages. Andrei said, you mean the Crusaders, right? I said, yes, I feel like the flag of the Crusaders.

Andrei smiled and said:

- "It is said that Russia is a fighting nation, but do you know that Hitler dared to attack the Soviet Union but did not dare to attack Switzerland? ”

- "And this kind of thing? "I'm a little weird.

Andre says:

- "It has been said that a Swiss citizen is a citizen with his right foot, and a soldier with his left foot." If you ask why we haven't fought a war for more than 200 years, the main reason is that we are always ready to fight. 》

——: "Haha, we found this! Mary Sauer smiled and winked at me.

I think she must have remembered Andre's performance in the Chinese restaurant. To be honest, I was a little scared when I thought about the scene that day.

Andrei ignored Mary and went on to say:

- "Switzerland can send 500,000 trained soldiers to the front in 48 hours, when in fact Switzerland is a country with no standing army, and there are only 3,500 professional soldiers in the country in peacetime.

In 1940, Germany destroyed Poland and France, burned the flames of war to the Swiss border, and was ready to implement the plan to invade Switzerland at any time. The arrogant Hitler believed that Switzerland was just a small land, with an area of just over 40,000 square kilometers and a population of less than 5 million. As long as the German ironclad chariot rumbles, Switzerland may only have to raise its hands and surrender.

However, he was surprised by the intelligence agencies who soon presented him: in a very short period of time, Switzerland had mobilized 500,000 people, more than 10% of the population. Almost all Swiss adults have guns in their hands and are ready for battle, and all the people hold a pledge to live and die with their motherland. **German intelligence finally reported to Hitler that if the Germans were to take the country, they would have to pay at least 1 million elite troops. The war maniac Hitler weighed up and finally abandoned his plans to invade Switzerland. The greatest war catastrophe in the history of mankind passed by Switzerland. ”

And there is such a thing. Mary and I were really shocked.

Andrei Says:

- "Hitler was German, and he knew too well people of the same ethnicity as him. Hitler felt that it was almost impossible to defeat the Swiss, so he gave up. ”

I remember that when I was in Brest, I thought that Andrei's Switzerland was just lucky.

- "Do you all know how to shoot?" Mary asked

Andrei Says:

- "In Switzerland, shooting has become a national activity, from 17-year-olds to gray-haired seniors. ”

Fortunately, Moscow controlled the gun, and I silently said to myself looking at the conceited Andrei.

Andrei Says:

- "It was once recognized by Europeans that the Swiss were invincible. In the era of cold weapons, the Swiss maintained this traditional symbol of heavenly soldiers. It is precisely this symbol that has killed countless Swiss people. Fight for honor, even to the death. The three most famous mercenary groups in Europe in history are the Highland Mercenaries, the Holy Roman Empire Mercenaries, and the Mediterranean Mercenaries. But the Swiss are unique. Swiss mercenaries are very disciplined and train hard. These Swiss mercenaries are said to bring good luck. Soldiers are highly regarded by their employers for their bravery, loyalty, and resourcefulness. ”

Switzerland is located in Central Europe, bordered by Germany to the north, France to the west, Italy to the south, Austria and Liechtenstein to the east.

Fortunately, the whole territory of Switzerland is dominated by plateaus and mountains, known as the "roof of Europe", and the people in this geographical environment are brave and warlike, and when they encounter foreign enemies, they will protect their homeland if they win, and retreat into the mountains when they are defeated, so they have struggled to maintain their independence in the first few hundred years of the country's founding.

In later generations, the martial spirit passed down through history made Swiss mercenaries and sabers famous on the European continent.

Legend has it that the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V led his troops to raid and sack the entire city of Rome, and the soldiers of the other countries in the Vatican papal guard fled, leaving only the Swiss soldiers fighting bloodily and holding on. Since then, the tradition of conscription of soldiers recruited by the Holy See from several countries to form convoys has remained only the "Swiss Guard".

Switzerland is such a country of martial arts and self-discipline.

Gun ownership, prostitution, gambling, and marijuana smoking are all legal in Switzerland. Because Switzerland believes that smoking marijuana, which is harmful to oneself, if the person concerned is sensible and willing to do it when he is sober, what does it have to do with others?

"Liberty means the right to do whatever is harmless to others – French Declaration of the Rights of Man and Peoples, 1789"

I remembered that Andre had first said that Darik would let him listen if he wanted to, and that he hadn't slept with Qiusi.

This is Switzerland.

The other side of freedom comes with the responsibility of self-reliance and self-determination, and Swiss citizens do a good job

This country, which has not participated in a single war for 204 years; But all the people are soldiers, and the military force is also extremely strong, it is the Switzerland that "knows the soldiers but is not good at fighting", "can fight, can stop the war", and "poor soldiers but not reckless force".

In World War II, Hitler did not respect the "neutrality" of various countries, and Europe was destroyed by six of its seven neighboring neutral countries, and Switzerland was able to make Hitler jealous, which had a great deal to do with its policy of "peaceful neutrality externally, and military neutrality and armed neutrality at home". Germans, on the other hand, who are simple-minded and honest, know this: Switzerland is entitled to say to the world: "Don't mess with me, you can't mess with me." ”
