From the perspective of the Internet, whether at home or abroad, France is basically linked to funny countries, and the "milk (humiliation) law joke" has been regarded as the intangible cultural heritage of mankind. The so-called "France's influence is great because when the United Nations votes by raising its hands, only France raises its hands." "When it comes to milk, people all over the world seem to have found a consensus.
To this day, unless France disassembles the beautiful country into fifty-one pieces in 39 days, I am afraid that the milk terrier will not be able to live for several lifetimes.
Today is the last day of French President Emmanuel Macron's visit to China, and everyone's eyes are once again focused on this Western power. France, as one of the world's top five speakers, what qualifies it to be in this list?
First, the origin of the milk method
In fact, France is "milked" every day, and the reason goes back to the Hundred Years' War between Britain and France. In order to fight for hegemony, Britain and France fought two hates every day, and three rivers and four seas have feuds. The bayonets on the battlefield turned red, and the public opinion war under the battlefield did not stop, and the jokes of the people of the two countries mocking each other led to countless streams.
The most well-known of these is the "anti-V" gesture used by the British to mock France. This pose is actually the reverse of the index and middle finger movements commonly used in photography, with the palm facing towards yourself and the back of the hand facing outward.
The reason for this pose is that at the end of the Hundred Years' War, the British were equipped with a new longbow and beat the French heavy cavalry to tears, and the angry French announced that once they caught the British archers, they would be killed on the spot, and they would cut off the middle finger of their bow and hang it for public display.
But it was useless, and Britain eventually pushed France flat. After the war, in the face of captured French prisoners, the British made "anti-V" gestures, indicating that their fingers were still there, but the French were kneeling. In continental Europe, "anti-V" has thus become an insulting gesture on a par with the middle finger.
During World War II, the milk law reached its climax, after all, as the world's second largest country, it was too humiliating to kneel and surrender directly for 39 days under Manstein's lightning raid. If it weren't for the fact that France still had a hard bone called de Gaulle, Vichy France would have been torn alive after the war.
In contrast, the twenty-three soldiers of the Pavlov building in the Soviet Union, who stood up to German artillery fire for two months, compared France to the dust - the entire French resistance time was not as long as a Soviet building.
What is even more shameful is that after the victory in World War II, France wanted to settle the war account, but it first attacked the women of its own country. During the German occupation of France, many women were unable to make ends meet, but committed themselves to the invading German officers, and many women were even raped. They were supposed to be victims, but after the victory, the French men who knelt faster than anyone else in war stood up and humiliated the women who could not help themselves, and hundreds of thousands of women were forcibly shaved to show that they were "sorry for the country."
The external insult does not show the sword, but draws the blade at the innocent, this kind of performance makes people can't bear to think about it.
Second, the real France
One might ask, since France is so fella? Why should we pay attention to him? Why is he still one of the five major speakers of the United Nations?
Let's put aside the winner mood and look at a few sets of reality.
Economically, France's GDP is the third in Europe and seventh in the world; Agriculturally, it is the largest agricultural producer in Europe; Industrially, it is the second largest industrial country in Europe, the second largest automobile producer in Europe, aerospace technology and nuclear energy technology are the first echelon in the world, Airbus, Renault, Areva nuclear energy are all bigwigs in related fields.
Militarily, France is a legitimate nuclear power, and its navy, land and air armored forces are leading the continent. And France's most prominent advantage is that the national defense system is independent and complete, without looking at the faces of other countries, up to warships, submarine missiles, down to helmets, guns and bullets, France itself can make them all, which is more than a star and a half compared to England, which has to borrow the Daddy Trident next door to launch nuclear weapons. India pulled out a few "Rafale" fighters from between France's teeth, and dared to come and shout with the red power next door, because the "Rafale", the three can not be built.
In terms of world influence, as the second largest colonial empire, France is still a tiger. We can't just see that everyone insults the law for pleasure, but ignores France's status in West and North Africa, and the currency circulating in many countries in Africa is still the CFA franc, and the financial lifeline is pinched by France, obeying France's orders. "Africa is not chaotic, France has the final say" is not a joke.
In terms of cultural influence, French food, French wine, French perfume, French paintings are still synonymous with elegance and romance in the world, French is also known as one of the most beautiful languages in the world, Hugo, Alexandre Dumas, Maupassant, are all world-renowned excellent writers, even in textbooks often appear.
We cannot underestimate France. Perhaps in the world, France wants to see the face of the United States, and it has to be careful to deal with Britain and Germany, and dare not provoke Russia, and it was hung up and beaten twice by us on the battlefields of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea and resisting France and aiding Vietnam. But the country is still a powerful country with such influence that a sneeze can shake Africa. We can insult the law, but we are in the People's Republic of China, we have this qualification, that's all.
Humiliating the law in a big country is pure a joke, and insulting the law in a small country is tantamount to suicide. If you don't believe it, look at the face of the French Phantom 2000, the grave grass is several meters high.
