Chapter 335 Landless Country
"I'm Really Not a Great Hero" is recommended to [-] this week, or if the collection reaches [-], "Glutton" will be added. Please support "Big Hero".

"Everyone knows the countries with the largest territories in the world, and everyone has heard of the countries with the smallest territories in the world. After all, with the word "most", it is easy to be remembered."

The smallest country in the world is of course the Vatican.There are [-] times more cigarette butts in the Vatican than there are people in this country.

There are only more than 300 people in this country, and the civilian rate is only [-]%, because the vast majority of the citizens hold high-level political and religious positions or are diplomats, and there are only a very small number of civilians.

Of course, that number could double in the next few years.

One of the largest countries in the world has shrunk step by step into the smallest country in the world. You may feel a little miserable, but you haven't seen the worst yet.

"The smallest country in the world is that one, please answer."

A large group of people gave the answer, and the entire Vatican floated in front of them.

Fang Hong shook his head: "This is a wrong answer."

"How is it possible, I learned it in history class."

"Isn't there a lot of mistakes in history class?"

In the history class, there is also a part of Wu Chengen's journey in his heart when he wrote Journey to the West. In fact, it is not clear whether Wu Chengen wrote Journey to the West.

In the history class, four authors were finalized for the four great classics, namely Wu Chengen, Shi Naian, Luo Guanzhong, and Cao Xueqin.

In fact, Wu Chengen wrote about Journey to the West with only one vague solitary evidence. Someone mentioned one sentence in his biography, and only wrote one sentence. Wu Chengen wrote Journey to the West after retirement.

It didn't say it was Journey to the West, it didn't say it was Journey to the West, it didn't say it was Journey to the West, it didn't say it was Journey to the West, it just said Journey to the West.

What if Wu Chengen wrote Wu Chengen's Journey to the West?Just like Xu Xiake's travel notes.

Of course, in the era of the Republic of China, many people did many researches, some said it was true and some said it was not.People in the Qing Dynasty believed that Journey to the West was written by Qiu Chuji.

People in the Republic of China believed that Qiu Chuji wrote it as a journey to the west from Maoshan to Zhongnanshan, and modern people can also think that Wu Chengen wrote it as a journey to Anqing from Jinling to the west.

Similarly, the Water Margin is most likely written by Luo Guanzhong, not Shi Naian. In other words, Luo Guanzhong wrote two of the four great masterpieces.

These are not written in history books, because history requires a unique truth, even if it is not necessarily true, it must be guaranteed to be unique.

So, the history books say that the smallest country is the Vatican.

The smallest country is actually the Knights Hospitaller.

The Knights of the Hospital is the Knights of the Good Church, which country was formerly known as the Knights of Malta.

Fang Hong pointed to the building in front of him: "There are [-] people living in this building, and this is the whole of Ma and other knights."

Napoleon changed the pattern of the entire world back then, including the destruction of the country by the Knights.

Under this kind of chaos, the Knights of the Hospital went to Russia just like those old nobles back then.

At that time, Russia became the leader of all countries, and for the first time became the leader of the European continent.

When the reverse push was successful, Napoleon stepped down.

But the territory of the Knights Hospitaller is really gone if it is gone.

Compared with the Holy See, they are not so powerful that Italy is afraid to designate a cathedral for them to establish a country. Therefore, they really have no territory and become a government in exile. Once in exile, it will last for 200 years.

The Knights of the Sovereign Military Hospital of Jerusalem, Rhode Island and St. John of Malta, referred to as the "Knights of Malta", is a United Nations observer with a "quasi-state" nature and no territory; it is one of the oldest Catholic monastic orders in the world. One of the most famous microstates.

Also known as the Knights of Rhodes and the Knights of St. John, its "national form" is "located" at No. 68 Condodi Avenue in Rome, a building covering an area of ​​1.2 square meters - the Palace of Malta. There are only a few residents of the Knights. ten people.The predecessor of the Knights of Malta was the Knights of the Hospital, which once owned territory, but lost it due to war.Now the Knights of Malta are engaged in charitable activities, manage hospitals, and care for refugees and the wounded in war.

The Knights appeared during the Crusades when Catholic Europe invaded the Middle East in the Middle Ages. After the end of the First Crusade from 1096 to 1099, four Crusader countries were established.Under the coveted threat of the Communists, the Crusader countries were in turmoil.As a result, the Pope of Rome organized several monk knights, which are the three famous knights in history, namely the Hospitallers, Templars and Teutonic Knights.

"This building, known as the Malta Palace, is where they are now."

As can be expected, the quarter map is definitely not here.

"The Knights of the Hospital was called the Knights of Malta in that era. In order to survive, they elected the Russian Emperor Paul I as the chief. It can be expected that, in view of the power of the Russian Emperor's defeat of Napoleon, Britain and France must recognize Malta as a country. , but it is also because of this that Malta failed to return to their island."

The reason is self-evident. England has always used continental checks and balances to deal with European countries. There are three centers in total. Germany and France are fighting wars, Western Italy is poor, and Russia cannot get out of the sea.

Paul I became the leader of the Knights. If the Knights successfully returned to the island, wouldn't it mean that Russia had a place where they could go to sea?In addition, the skeleton of the defeated France was still there, and it was still the most powerful royal family in Europe at that time. They definitely didn't want Russia to take advantage of it.

Together with Britain and France, Malta will never go back.

Times have changed, and five years have passed since 210. No matter how hard the horse and other knights make efforts, it is unlikely that they will go back.

"Why don't we consider them a country?"

"Stand in line, stand in line, and if you don't stand well, you lose." Although the Knights of Malta and the Vatican have no direct affiliation, they are the same in some political strategies, and they are biased towards the Taiwan Strait.

From a certain point of view, we are not even a bird in the Vatican, let alone an organization of dozens of people.

In 2000, the Holy See proclaimed the missionaries who preached in our territory in the late Qing Dynasty as saints, and believed that they had spread the gospel, which angered us.

After those things come, they don’t do good things. They steal Dunhuang’s ancient relics while bringing foreign troops here. Are they still sages?
Although the Pope apologized many times afterwards, admitted that the move was inappropriate, and hoped to come to China, but we refused.

Don't think that Italians treat you as a green onion, so you can really have a bowl of noodles.

In the past, when the Pope went to Bangzi Country, he had to bypass our country's airspace. It is estimated that if he dared to pass, he would really crash.

However, I heard that the situation is improving recently. The Pope passed by our country's airspace this time when he went to Bangzi Kingdom.I heard that he wanted to see the Archbishop of China.

The Archbishop of China is considering whether to meet him.

The Archbishop of China is like the Russian Archbishop in the past. He is at odds with the Holy See and does not recognize each other. Now the Holy See is more and more aware of its position in the world.

Not to mention the pope, even if Christ himself is resurrected, so what, it is not his turn to intervene in the affairs of our country.

The two sides have their own goals. Our country wants to destroy the diplomacy in the Taiwan Strait one by one, and if the Pope himself allows the Chinese region to recognize the Holy See, it will be tantamount to spreading the gospel.

When our country and the Vatican formally contact, the Taiwan Strait is estimated to be the next best thing to contact the Knights of Malta.

"Brother Gun, go in and take a look?"

"Go in? Why go in? Just show everyone the smallest country in the world, and there's nothing to see inside. By the way, they rented this building."

Any other treasures in Malta are not in the hands of the current Knights. They are so poor that they are not as rich as the rewarding water friends.
