For most countries in the world, war is cruel, after each war, the most miserable are the people, however, today Xiaobian wants to talk about this country is the world's most funny country, can also be said to be the "most able to fight" country, because others fight is the reduction of soldiers, they fight soldiers without any injury and sacrifice will increase, send out eighty people to fight to meet the enemy, and finally return to re-order people, and even one more person into 81 people.
This country is the Principality of Liechtenstein. Maybe you are not very familiar with it, this is a small country in Europe, and this country is also a rare double landlocked country in the world. Perhaps it is precisely because of the small size of the country and the small population that the country is not so keen on war, and has turned war into a comedy.
In many parts of the world, there have been fierce wars, and even many civilizations have been destroyed because of the outbreak of war, among the ancient civilizations of the world, only China, although it has repeatedly changed its government, has been able to maintain its original culture, which is also a rare lucky thing. Liechtenstein, on the other hand, despite its small size, still faces war
This is because of the dispute between the kingdoms of Japan, and the ancient times of Japan, similar to the Spring and Autumn Period of China, were in the midst of large-scale wars for a long time, and the princes of various places ignored the emperor and attacked each other continuously. However, Liechtenstein can live so detachedly, probably inseparable from the innate mentality of Europeans.
The whole country of Liechtenstein is only more than 160 square miles, and this land area is only the size of our city, so the whole city is only 40,000 people, which directly leads to the war in 1866, the country sent only eighty troops to fight.
At that time, prussia and Austria were fighting a war, and although Liechtenstein had no intention of war, it was sandwiched between the two countries, so the leaders also knew that they could not watch from the sidelines, and could only choose one side to stand, so that they could gain a foothold. If he had not taken sides, perhaps the two countries would have simply destroyed him first.
So after some thought, Liechtenstein chose Austria, in their view Austria's advantage is still quite large, after all, there are many countries behind austria. You may not need to worry about it to survive this big war. Austria was also happy to receive the initiative of this small country.
Although Liechtenstein is small, it is also a good thing that the opening is good, Austria knows that the country has a small population, and it is impossible to take out any troops, so it is necessary to send troops to defend a small area of Tyrolean, in fact, just look at it, Austria is equivalent to handing over the easiest work to them.
However, Liechtenstein's enthusiasm for participating in the war was not high, and few people were willing to join the war, and after learning that they were going to send troops, the government had a hard time finding eighty people to go to the defensive zone, which was equivalent to being a sentry.
In the Tyrolean region, Liechtenstein encountered its own enemies, and this side was not a country keen on fighting, but Italy. We all know Italy's contribution in World War II, a country that has arguably succeeded in pulling down Germany's hind legs. Plunged Germany into defeat.
In this battle, neither side had any desire to fight, so a funny scene appeared on the battlefield. During the day, the two sides grind time together, pretending to be tigers and looking at each other, putting at most a few shots to show that they are guarding, and at night, both sides drink and have fun, and they both enjoy themselves in wartime.
Later, after the defeat of Austria, Liechtenstein was also very happy, withdrew the eighty people, and also celebrated, but when they checked the number, they found that there was one more person, and when they asked carefully, it turned out that this person was an Austrian official, because they had scattered and met them, so the eighty people simply took him back to China with them.
War is terrible, but Liechtensteiners have a unique charm, turning war into peace, although their behavior is very funny, eighty people came back from the war and one more, but it can also be said that they are "the most able to fight", that is, they can not fight the best, this kind of help for peace is worth emulating the world.
