"Holy City!!!" When the first Egyptian soldier saw the Holy City, the entire Egyptian army was excited. In fact, many people were still some distance away from the Holy City and could not see it at all, but at this moment, they also cheered.
It’s really been too long.
The last time the Egyptians owned the holy city was during the time of Saladin!
Actually, to be honest, Egyptians’ recognition of ancient history is still mainly based on Arab Egypt. After all, ancient Egyptians and modern Egyptians are very different. Most of the Egyptians today are Arabs.
Therefore, the recognition for Saladin is much stronger than that for the pharaohs.
Egyptians oppose the view that Egyptian civilization is only 5000 years old, believing it to be a product of modern Western-centrism. Under the view of Egyptian MZism and Afrocentrism, the West not only did not praise and promote ancient Egypt, but deliberately suppressed and belittled ancient Egyptian civilization. In fact, some people strongly oppose the fact that Western scholars today question or even abandon the records of Egyptian civilization in Greek and Roman materials, and are also skeptical about the records in Egyptian documents. On the contrary, they still adhere to the ideas handed down from ancient times, believing that modern Egyptology's interpretation of ancient Egyptian civilization is evil, and complain that the orthodox academic community (referring to the Western academic community) has monopolized the right to interpret ancient Egyptian civilization.
Although modern Egyptians have no cultural heritage connection with the ancient Egyptians, they believe that modern Western academia has intentionally shortened the history of ancient Egypt. Egypt is considered the oldest country since ancient times. This is not an invention of the modern West, and archaeology only provides confirmation.
In general, modern Egyptians have a complex view of ancient Egypt. Of course, they are proud, but... not much. The general Egyptian public may not know much about ancient Egyptian culture. This is mainly because the economic development level varies greatly. Many people's daily needs have not been met, so they may pay less attention to and invest less in culture. However, Egyptian universities have majors and doctoral programs for studying ancient Egyptian civilization, which shows that in the academic field, Egyptians have a high enthusiasm and depth of research on ancient Egyptian culture.
But that's all.
The most obvious example is the huge difference in the management and protection of mosques and ancient Egyptian ruins. The Egyptian government has some problems with the protection and management of ancient Egyptian ruins, such as poor management of famous ancient Egyptian attractions, which leads to poor tourist experience. In contrast, Egypt has done a good job in the management and protection of mosques.
Even the lower classes will spontaneously protect and preserve the mosques, but forget about the ancient Egyptian ruins.
In contrast, they have a special identification with Saladin, and they believe that Saladin is the national hero of Egypt.
But now, they have finally achieved Saladin's feat again! (Interestingly, Saladin is not Egyptian, he is a Kurd, born in Iraq and rose in Egypt)
In any case, the holy city is in sight.
Tianqi's goal was achieved... Although not much was accomplished compared to the expected plan, the most important thing was to capture the holy city and gain the highest reputation in the Islamic world in one fell swoop! Other failures were acceptable.
Faced with this situation, Xiaobawang had no choice but to contact the United States again.
But this time, the little bully's attitude towards the White House was much better.
At least they are no longer domineering. In fact, most of the time, the bully's attitude towards the White House can only be considered to be acceptable for the sake of face. They can even face the White House toughly... It's not that the bully can really get rid of the United States and face the situation alone.
On the contrary, Xiaobawang has always been very dependent on the United States.
The real reason why the little bully can ignore the White House is... the little bully has broad support from both parties. They don't need the support of a president who is replaced every four years. As long as the two parties still exist, the little bully will never lose the support of the White House.
The ecology of Subor in the United States is very interesting.
Xiaobawang's capital in the United States supports the Democratic Party. Historically, Xiaobawang Capital has always tended to support the Democratic Party rather than the Republican Party. This is because Xiaobawang Capital attaches great importance to maintaining and showing the image of being "loyal" to the United States!
But the Republican Party fanatically supports the country of Little Bully! The reason why they support it so much is that the Protestants in the country are the ones who are most supportive of Little Bully's founding of the country, and these fanatical Protestants are the biggest supporters of the Republican Party.
Therefore, Xiaobawang has no lack of support from both parties.
So the president? What president? The president is just a changing county magistrate, while their little tyrant is the unchangeable Mr. Huang.
But now the situation is problematic. First of all, President Benjamin has confirmed that he can continue to be re-elected, and he has broken the constitutional restrictions. He will soon become the second person after Roosevelt to be re-elected for a long time. This means that Benjamin's political power is about to break through the shackles of the two parties and he has widespread supporters in both parties.
Secondly, there is the struggle between the two major capital groups in the United States.
As the international situation changes, U.S. hegemony is in decline, which has caused the accelerated involution of capital within the United States. After being unable to reap profits from the international community at will, major capital groups will inevitably accelerate internal competition for the sake of their own profit growth!
There was no other way. When they couldn't eat outsiders, they could only devour each other to satisfy their appetite.
Xiaobawang Capital is very strong, but it also depends on the situation.
In the past, they worked together to harvest the world and cooperated well with each other. But now that they are about to devour each other, the tricks that Xiaobawang Capital used to play are no longer effective.
After all, everything is fake, only interests are real.
If you want to talk about the real old hooligans, you have to look at the Anglo-Saxon old hooligans. For these people, morality? What is that? I have never talked about morality since I started to get involved in the gang. What bullshit persecution! Have I, an American, persecuted the people of the Little Bully?
So what if I am persecuted?
Americans can be just as shameless as they are and refuse to admit it. After all, Indians are still being segregated!
Americans celebrate Thanksgiving every year... I really don't know how the Americans have the nerve to promote this holiday... Thanksgiving, gratitude, their so-called gratitude is to scalp the other party, seize the other party's land, massacre them, and then drive the remaining survivors to reservations in remote areas?
I can't be more grateful.
So you can talk about those old stories of Little Overlord in Europe, but in America? Don’t even think about it!
In the past, in the American public opinion environment, if you dared to say anything bad about the Little Overlord, you would be labeled with various labels immediately and then be socially dead. Everyone regarded you as a scourge... Really, you couldn't say anything bad about the Little Overlord, it was an absolute red line. People who didn't know would think that the persecution of the Little Overlord happened in the United States... But the fact is that the United States is the only country in the world that has never persecuted the Little Overlord... In this regard, the United States is really pure and innocent.
But unfortunately, the United States has the strictest control in this regard.
This is very interesting.
But as the capital battle reached a bloody end, this red line suddenly disappeared. Now you can see how many voices criticizing Little Overlord have burst out in the market. It seems that in an instant, the Americans have begun to be fair and just, and to uphold justice for the victims of Little Overlord's persecution and massacre.
With the loss of the public opinion front, Anglo-Saxon capital also began to vigorously clean up those forces dominated by small bully capital in politics.
For a time, the political support that Little Overlord could obtain in the United States was much less.
The original support of the two parties suddenly decreased a lot, especially the Republicans, who supported the little bully for religious reasons. However, after a period of deception, those extreme religious groups also began to be cautious. After all, what the little bully did was somewhat contrary to their understanding of God.
With so many factors combined, the little overlord is now starting to feel weak when facing the boss of the White House.
Benjamin doesn't want the Little Overlord to disappear?
Of course not.
This is certain. As the situation develops, the little bully must stick closer to the United States in order to survive... As the saying goes, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Although the United States has begun to decline, its foundation is still there. No one can tell whether the United States can stand on the top again in a few years.
The United States has only collapsed in appearance, it is not really dead!
There is still room for improvement, so the United States' international influence is still there, and even Russia and China need to give it some face.
Although the Three Kingdoms were fighting for hegemony, they were very clear that the hegemony struggle in this era could not be as simple and crude as the hegemony struggle between the United States and the Soviet Union. After all, the situation facing the earth now is completely different from that in the past. When the United States and the Soviet Union were fighting for hegemony, were there monsters everywhere?
Is there a super uncle like Atlantis?
Is there a cousin like Asgard that you can only look up to?
Are there various alien civilizations that can destroy the world?
Fighting a civil war on Earth at this time...are you dissatisfied that everyone is dying too slowly?
So, new era, new way of fighting.
Benjamin is ready to welcome the arrival of a new era. He has experienced the bad times of America's decline, and has also ushered in a new era of global change!
What position the United States will occupy in the new era depends on him.
Benjamin now had a politician's sense of purpose.
But although a sense of mission is good, you still have to rely on means to get things done.
Benjamin can't let go of the trouble of Little Bully!
This is directly related to the United States’ future global strategy!
So we still have to meet.
The bully’s request is simple: the United States should personally step in and punish Apocalypse.
But Benjamin rejected this request very clearly and directly, leaving the little bully no room for illusion or distortion.
The United States will not stand down...reality simply does not allow it.
The United States Navy…if it weren’t for the legacy of S.H.I.E.L.D., the United States Navy would have returned to post-Civil War America.
The former US Navy was very powerful, with seven fleets, about 500 active and reserve personnel, 000 active warships and 279 aircraft. It was the world's largest, highest-tonnage, most advanced-equipped and most powerful navy in the world, surpassing other countries in overall strength. The US Navy is composed of two independent branches, the Navy and the Marine Corps, both of which are under the leadership of the US Department of the Navy. The Department of the Navy is one of the three branches of the US Department of Defense, also known as the "Washington Navy Yard", which consists of three central units: the Office of the Secretary of the Navy, the Department of Naval Operations, and the Marine Corps Headquarters. In addition, the US Coast Guard is under the leadership of the Navy in wartime.
What now?
Even if you count the Coast Guard, there aren’t many ships!
We have returned directly to the state after the civil war... We are almost ready to launch a sailing ironclad ship!
In the past, the United States did have the ability to deploy military forces around the world in a short period of time, but now... it can't conquer the world relying solely on the Air Force!
Apart from anything else, the cost is unbearable.
Yes, it sounds like the Air Force can do everything, including transport and combat. But the cost is too high. Apart from anything else, how many people can your transport plane carry?
Take the C-17 Globemaster, the most powerful transport aircraft of the US Air Force, for example. A C-17 can transport 823 people at a time, and its maximum load capacity is only 77.5 tons. What can this amount of transport capacity do?
Any warship can crush it!
Not to mention those transport ships and supply ships, the main transportation capacity in modern warfare is still sea transportation!
Take the Iraq War as an example. In this war, the United States mobilized 47 merchant ships, 106 cargo ships, 33 pre-positioned ships, 25 fuel supply ships and comprehensive supply ships, and 3 special ships by deploying military tankers and civilian cargo ships. These more than 200 ships were required to transport about 3 troops, more than 30 million tons of war materials, and tens of thousands of various types of vehicles and armored vehicles to Iraq in three months.
You transport it by plane?
There is no hope even if you fly the plane until it is scrapped!
Moreover, the Americans still felt that the transportation capacity was too poor, and even greatly exceeded the United States' own expectations. Although 30 troops were delivered, only 200 tons of the more than 23.5 million tons of various materials originally planned to be delivered were delivered until the end of the US military's early military operations. In other words, the actual transportation capacity of the US military was only about 10/1 of its imagined transportation capacity. And these 23 tons of supplies were only enough for the US military to consume for a week. By the end of the war, the US military was actually close to running out of ammunition and food. If it were not for the Iraqi army's weak will to fight, the US military might have been defeated in the early stages of the Iraq War. Because of the lack of transportation capacity, the US military had to reduce individual rations after about a week of combat. In addition to the reduction in fuel rations for cars and armored vehicles, the field rations of US soldiers also began to decrease, and the rations of some troops were even cut in half.
The real awesome thing was the United States during World War II. In order to support the war, the United States launched the "Liberty Ship Project" during World War II. From the start of the project in 1941 to the end of World War II in 1945, the US military produced a total of 2751 Liberty Ships, each with a deadweight tonnage of about 5500 tons. In other words, the United States during World War II produced 4 million deadweight tons of shipping capacity in four years. This data is a considerable shipping capacity even in the 1512st century. During World War II, its shipping capacity can be said to have crushed the world.
But is there any shipping in the US now? No! All gone!
In this situation, would the United States go crazy and take action personally?
