American Fortune Life
Chapter 922: The Holocaust of Civilization
“ ”
Andy hung up Joseph's phone calls, from the delight of his men when they first airlifted him back from Iraq to the excitement of reports of the storage of artifacts every once in a while, as more and more artifacts were catalogued in front of him.
This debriefing gave Andy an unknown sense of sadness, thinking of the national treasure monuments on the two pictures he had seen in the catalogue a long time earlier, the Sumerian statues and the lions carved with gold and ivory attacking the Nubian decorative slabs, and greed once again suppressed that goodness.
Whatever the historical period of the world, it is when peace emerges that cultural relics can be protected.
The years of United States occupation of Iraq have not seen the peace and development promised by the United States. On the contrary, the situation has worsened from day to day.
Iraqi antiquities? Destruction or not, theft or trafficking is rampant, and who cares, as then United States Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld put it, "This is war, and it's a phenomenon that nobody lets them destroy, or doesn't stop them from destroying, but destroying. ”
Indeed, the grave destruction of world culture, which Iraq lost world-class antiquities and antiquities to this military invasion and occupation by the United States, has long attracted the attention of scholars and academic communities in many countries around the world.
But why has the United States Government ignored, and even at public press conferences, the nasty answers given by spokespersons of the United States military to the question of the destruction of cultural relics seem to have lost some old goods and shit in the war, and there is nothing to be surprised about at all.
And the reality is that the military itself is digging up and selling these artifacts.
Andy also sees a more vicious and sinister evil intent. The purpose of the destruction of Iraq's historical relics and literature by the United States is obviously to make the Iraqi people forget their glorious past. They are just barbaric peoples living in the desert on oil deposits, proving the President of the United States right, because Andy clearly remembers what little flying shoes used to say in disdain.
“Our war with Iraq is a war of civilization and barbarity. ”
Perhaps some might not think that it's just historical relics and literature that could destroy civilization?
But this is very important. Let me give you the simplest example of this. In the 3rd century AD, Chinese characters were introduced from the heavens to the stick peninsula, so they were taken as official words by the sticks that had not yet written. They had been used for nearly a thousand years, and there was no minister of literature, who proposed to create their own words. This phenomenon did not change the character pattern of the stick peninsula until one appeared.
Chinese characters are expressive words, which can be said to be difficult to learn, so learning Chinese characters is monopolized in the hands of Doctor Shi and aristocrats. In order to change this situation, Li , the fourth king of the stick, decided to invent his own words after taking office.
Nanbu abolished all Chinese characters in 1948, and they succeeded in not knowing Chinese characters, so they couldn't even read their historical literature, so when they read the historical literature, they only read what seemed to be rather than, and then all kinds of laughing material.
Plus, this stick country is a little too miserable to be bullied by pelvic people, the ethnic character is a little distorted, the inferiority in the bones makes them kind of rich and blind arrogant, confused historians rely on conjecture to interpret the historical literature to reach the conclusion of course, instantly let a group of self-righteous idiots find the main bone, to live up to the truth.
These idiot historians look at it. Shit, is there a market? All began to guess blindly the self-made history, as the true history transmitted to their nationals, which is also why it is obviously a humiliating and flirtatious torment, but the people of the stick are considered to be the true history and culture, and revitalize the words to go all kinds of bets, to earn the name of a cosmic nation.
Andy used to think of all the idiot speech in the stick country as a joke, because he knew then how you would explain to a bunch of idiots who covered their ears, or let them keep going, and eventually they would find that they had no history of their own, all of Heavenly Dynasty...
The historical literature and relics of a country represent the inheritance of a civilization. After being destroyed, it is almost impossible to renew it. After decades, the dust of history dissipates and is slowly forgotten. What Iraq is suffering is this destruction, and the stick nation is playing itself to death.
“Forget it, leave it with me and save these precious civilizational treasures for mankind... ”
Andy shook his head and sighed, feeling that he had a responsibility to protect the testimony of these radiant civilizations in human history, after all, Iraq today and Iraq in the future would be in chaos and war.
At this moment, Andy feels much better, finds a high moral fulcrum, and looks forward to what a surprise this bunch of mad dogs will bring him!
“Boom!”
“Woo... That's all I really know. Please, leave me alone. I'm willing to give you everything... ”
“Pff--”
Curled to the ground, the person who was still begging for forgiveness was kicked in the stomach with one foot, spit out a breath of blood, and passed out.
“Psst!”
The interrogating man walked back to the table in the middle and pressed a button on the table. “Sir," he said. ”
“Wake him up, treat him, bring back two other friends, and I want to know who did it. ”
“yessir!”
“By the way, don't forget to bring back what this friend sent us... ”
“Understood, sir! ”
That night, five military Hummers drove off and a van drove out of the compound, rushing into downtown Basra, where the lights ignited.
Basra's nights are no different from those of other cities in the world, except for street-lined checkpoints, ten-step military police, bullet holes in walls, armoured vehicles with heavy machine guns, and intermittent power supplies.
And that's how Freedom Eagle's convoy crashed across a checkpoint, ignored the landscaped checkpoints, and nobody went to uncomfortable with the war jackals, let alone the Iraqi military police, or the regular United States army, who dared to surrender their weapons, which was also the beginning of Blackwater.
“Boom!”
A house watching TV at home, kicked open with one foot, a group of strong men wearing bulletproof vests, almost armed to the teeth carrying guns, doing tactical moves, rushing into the house at speed, controlling everyone in the house.
“Ah--”
Middle-aged Iraqis, who were subdued to the ground, were grabbed by their hair and raised their faces in agony, and their eyes could not be opened by sharp light flashlights.
“Coussel * * *? ”
Soon, the group of soldiers who stormed into the house quickly escorted the Iraqi named Kuse away, stuffed him in his car and went on.
Click--
“This... This is my basement, everything, everything is here, please leave me alone... ”
“Open it! ”
“Yes, sir! ”
A big black man wearing a vest, showing muscles all over his body, pressed down the muzzle, found a crowbar from the side, stepped on the wooden box with the big foot of a military boot, and opened the cover above the wooden box with a crowbar.
The lead officer, walking up to see a large wooden box in a pile of straw and newspaper mats, was a few white stones, frowned back at the middle-aged man who had been wounded and still trembling, coldly asked: “What is this? ”
“Um... King Temena Statue... ”
Officers are a little obsessed. He knows the king of the ass, but it doesn't look like a statue, it looks like a pile of rocks.
“This is what it looks like after it's cut, because it's over a meter tall, it can't be taken out of the country completely, it can only be cut in chunks, it can be taken out in chunks, and then restored abroad, or it can be sold at a good price. ”
“How come, how old is it? ”
“The Iraqi National Museum stole it, 4,400 years old, as a testimony to civilization in the two river basins of Iraq. ”
The whole crowd couldn't help but be silent and have become cold when they look at this person. This is typical national scum! The treasure of such a radiant civilization was actually cut into pieces, Nima, cough, well, no one could get better...
“Re-seal, load the car! Careful, everyone. Don't be rude. It's broken. ”
“yessir!”
