Chapter 2087: Still in the hospital, this time it’s a bit serious (asking for monthly tickets!)
Aphrodite has extraordinary charm, and any mortal who sees her for the first time will fall hopelessly in love with her!
This allowed Aphrodite to win a large number of loyal fans without having to do anything... Deep down, Aphrodite didn't like this because it didn't feel exciting to her.
Aphrodite was born in the waves of the sea. She had porcelain-like skin, blonde hair and blue eyes, and the perfect figure and appearance of an ancient Greek woman. She symbolizes the beauty of women and is considered the highest symbol of female physical beauty.
She emerged from a huge shell that rose from the sea and walked barefoot onto the beach (located in Paphos, Cyprus). Beautiful flowers bloomed wherever she walked, and the goddess of time, Horae, had been waiting for her not far away for a long time. She put a golden crown on her head, dressed her in gorgeous and appropriate clothes, and tied a golden belt for her, which made Aphrodite even more attractive. Afterwards, Aphrodite sat on a float pulled by a pair of doves and flew to Mount Olympus. The gods on Mount Olympus praised Aphrodite for her extraordinary beauty and were fascinated by her.
Aphrodite was born beautiful and all the gods loved her. Her beauty was like the light of day, her pink cheeks were like peach blossoms, her long golden curly hair was shining, and her eyes seemed to contain blue water, so she became the most beloved goddess among the gods.
Therefore, simply attracting mortals is not a difficult thing, it can be done easily, so Aphrodite prefers to use other methods to attract the love of those "high-quality" men.
So normally, she wouldn't use this ability on lowly mortals...but this was an exception.
She thought these people were disgusting.
Those beautiful girls originally had a better life. They would find their lover, have a passionate love, then break up, fall in love again, and break up again... Girls deserve better. At least that's what Aphrodite thought.
But now?
These girls were forced to sell their bodies...Aphrodite actually had no objection to this.
After all, this goddess is the patron saint of this industry!
In the early days, selling one's body was often inseparable from religious rituals, and many similar places were even secretly operated by priests. Its mythological origin comes from Aphrodite, who is said to have established this industry in Cyprus because she felt guilty about her spiritual chastity to her husband.
Plato once talked about her as a goddess with two faces, representing pure and noble spiritual love in the divine world and carnal love of the common people in the human world.
Therefore, Aphrodite did not discriminate against or hate this behavior.
But the problem is, their purpose is wrong.
You know, even in the current Pantheon system, many so-called similar women are actually clergy, and they regard this as a kind of dedication to God! Even if they sell their bodies, they are considered worthy of respect... just like in myths.
She is still pure!
In mythology, Aphrodite and Ares were caught committing adultery.
'Aphrodite returned to Paphos in Cyprus and bathed in the sea water there. The three Graces anointed her with perfume and purified her body, restoring her virginity.'
Well, just wash it.
But on Earth, these girls were all forced, they were simply used as tools, which disgusted Aphrodite. What was originally a beautiful thing, a sport that allowed both parties to enjoy, turned into a one-sided humiliation, which was contrary to Aphrodite's philosophy.
What’s even more outrageous is…what happened to these girls.
These guys will push these girls to their limits!
If the girl is seriously ill, they will kill her and throw her away without hesitation. If the girl is simply unable to work, such as due to drug overdose, they will tear the girl apart and sell her like livestock...
This is so disgusting!
Even the fallen Pantheon cannot tolerate such evil!
This is simply against human nature!
So Aphrodite wanted to punish them without hesitation... As for the method... you know.
Love can make two strangers fall in love with each other in an instant and depend on each other for life and death. Love can also make two strangers become enemies of life and death, and use any means to kill each other!
With just a few words from her, she could make everyone present kill each other until everyone was dead!
Just like the Trojan War.
This huge war finally broke out because of a woman, and ended with countless casualties. Troy was destroyed, the city-state was destroyed, and the people were massacred. The Greek coalition was not much better, they suffered heavy casualties, lost countless heroes and leaders, and the victory did not bring them any benefits.
But now is not the time.
……
In a small alley in the Albanian community, several men were hiding in the alley smoking.
"Why can those leaders sit in their houses and enjoy delicious food and drinks, while we have to hide in the stinky alleys in the middle of the night and feed mosquitoes?"
Los Angeles is one of the cities with the most mosquitoes in the United States... It is said that there were not many mosquitoes in Los Angeles in the past, but no one can tell whether it is true or not, but there are really a lot of mosquitoes now!
"There's nothing we can do... We have to prevent others from causing trouble! I heard that the Russians who were driven away by us seem to have always wanted to take this place back." Another younger brother said.
"Heh... Russians. Bah! Do those wimps have the guts to do that?"
The Albanian gangs are indeed qualified to complain about the Soviet Union. Historically, Albania has never paid much attention to the Soviets. There is no way that poor mountains and bad waters will produce unruly people. Albania has always been a typical poor country with bad waters.
First, Albania's national conditions are rather unique. Its cultural customs and historical context are very different from those of the Slavs, and it has no psychological identification with the Soviet Union. Second, Albania hopes to be independent and is rather disgusted with the Soviet Union's authoritarianism.
There were various rifts between the two sides, which eventually led to the Soviet-Afghan conflict in 1961.
Of course, 60 years ago, they still stood together, but this so-called standing together was just a helpless choice.
Albania has three neighbors, namely Yugoslavia, Greece, and Italy (across the sea). However, these three neighbors have more or less intentions towards Albania. Among them, Yugoslavia tried to annex Albania and turn it into the "seventh republic"; Greece coveted the land in southern Albania; Italy annexed Albania during World War II. At the same time, Albania mainly believes in Islam, while its several neighbors are Christian countries, and they also have great differences in their national systems. Therefore, there are cognitive differences and disputes over interests between Albania and its neighbors, and the relationship between them is not harmonious. At the end of World War II, after Albania drove away the German and Italian invaders, the Albanian Communist Party established a new country, which aroused the hostility of Western powers such as the United States and Britain. Because the United States and Britain took their own interests as the starting point, they supported Zogu to come to power and did not want the Albanian Communist Party to take control of the country. For this reason, the United States, Britain and other countries blockaded Albania and created incidents many times, and the relationship between the two sides deteriorated rapidly. In 1946, several British warships hit mines and sank in the waters near Albania, which led to a complete deterioration in relations between Albania and the West. Therefore, in this case, it is difficult for Albania to rely on Western powers to seek justice.
Generally speaking, in the early days of the Cold War, Albania faced hostility from its neighbors and many Western countries, and suffered from problems such as economic backwardness and weak national strength. Under such circumstances, the only big country it could rely on was the Soviet Union (China at that time was in a state of disrepair). Therefore, under the combined effect of various factors, Albania actively moved closer to the Soviet Union before the 60s.
So at that time, their standing with the Soviet Union was just a temporary measure.
Once they feel it is unnecessary, they change their attitude faster than turning the pages of a book!
Another point is that Albanians always have a special arrogance and they look down on other countries at all.
Just like their national totem, the mountain eagle!
They hope that their motherland can soar like an eagle in the mountains!
And they really behaved like mountain eagles. Externally, they dared to be unique, self-enclosed, and cut off all contact with the outside world, as if they were a lone hero. Internally, they practiced dictatorship. Domestically, the leader Hoxha established a tall image and the people praised him highly. In order to commemorate Hoxha, a museum was built in Albania, and billboards and huge statues with his quotations were erected everywhere. At that time, Albanians created a large number of songs praising Hoxha, the most famous of which was "Song of Enver Hoxha".
In short, the main focus is abstraction and confidence!
The Albanian gangs obviously inherited this temperament. They looked down on the Russians and thought they were just so-so. As for the local gangs in Europe and America... Ha! Albania didn't want to comment on them at all!
A bunch of wimps!
"Hey...when can we go back home? I don't like America." Another little brother missed home.
Nothing grows well on the ground except weeds, and nothing is abundant except stones under the ground. Coupled with frequent droughts, it ranks among the top three poorest countries in Europe all year round. Moldova and Ukraine rank higher than Albania. The former is poor because of the imbalance of industrial structure and the inability to keep up with the supply of resources after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, and the latter is poor because of its own self-destruction. Only Albania is poor in a stable and consistent way. It is so poor that no one is interested in invading. According to the temper of the Soviet Union at that time, the younger brother must be punished for not being obedient, but Albania withdrew from the Warsaw Pact without being punished. The Soviet Ministry of Defense calculated that it would take about 40 troops, 3000 tanks, and 1500 fighter jets to dismantle the bunkers of the entire Albanian family. The occupation period would take at least two and a half years. The entire combat operation is expected to cost tens of billions of rubles. Even if Albania is sold, it will not be enough to cover the expenses. After calculating the bills, the Soviet Union felt the pain and endured it.
Such a hellish place is not worth reminiscing about.
But for Albanians, this is their hometown! They still love this land deeply. Many Albanians will return to this land even if they make a fortune abroad. How to say it... Maybe it's a unique temperament, Albanians still like their hometown.
Of course, what is more likely is that they will always be incompatible with people of other nationalities!
This is inseparable from their unique culture. As a European country, the main religion of this country is Islam! Albania is the country with the highest proportion of Muslims among its citizens in Europe. According to statistics, Sunni Muslims in Albania account for 56.7% of the total population, Sufi Bektashi account for 2.1%, Catholics account for 10%, and Orthodox Christians account for 6.8%. In contrast, almost all Greek and Serbian citizens believe in Orthodox Christianity. In Montenegro, the Bosniaks and Albanians who believe in Islam account for about 13.5% of the population, and Muslims in North Macedonia account for more than 30% of the population. Unlike the large number of Muslim immigrants in Western countries today, Muslims in Albania are the result of religious and ethnic assimilation implemented by the Ottoman Empire. A large number of Albanians converted to Islam centuries ago, and Muslims and Islamic culture have become an inseparable part of Albania.
But the problem is that they believe in Islam and are not very accepted by other Islamic countries... Albanians lack very devout religious beliefs. This is largely determined by the importance of tribes and the extremely strong tribal nature of Albanian traditions and customs. Regardless of their beliefs, every tribe in the Albanian mountains has its own patron saint, and people's enthusiasm for tribal worship and clan elders is far greater than their enthusiasm for a particular religion.
This makes Albanians a unique existence no matter where they are from...so they cannot integrate well into the local community, so many Albanians will still return to their hometowns after getting rich...In addition to the local sentiment, the more important reason for this attachment is that they don’t fit in outside!
They are special to others, but lonely to themselves.
So this makes them prefer to return to their hometown. Going abroad to make money is for survival, and returning to hometown is for life!
"I think it's nice here. At least the girls are pretty."
It is normal for some people to have different opinions.
"Pretty? They just know how to put on makeup! And a lot of the women here are fake. The last time I met that girl... there wasn't a single place on her body that wasn't filled with rubber! And their faces, the dust on their faces is so thick that it could stop a bullet!"
"You're lucky. I met someone who was fake from the inside out! Damn, I took off my pants before I realized she was actually a man! I questioned him, but he turned around and questioned me why I assumed his gender... Oh, damn it! I had no choice but to run away!"
The brother's experience suddenly made the alley quiet.
Everyone was looking at this divine man.
Seeing that no one was talking, this guy continued to complain about what happened that day.
But after a long time, no one spoke.
"What's wrong with you? Come on, you're not scared like this, are you? This is normal in America. People here are all crazy..."
As he spoke, he turned his head to look over.
He found that all his friends were unconscious on the spot, with only a red guy and a woman standing there.
The woman was also taking pictures everywhere with a camera.
"Hey, man, I gotta say, America is pretty good. After all, everyone has the right to make their own choices, right?"
