Chapter 213 Power comes from above or below

France has never been short of people who resist the rulers. Even France has been ridiculed for countless years in World War II when the country surrendered in one month, and many warriors came forward.

Like the countless anti-union fighters who were ordered not to resist by Chang Kaishen during the September [-]th period in China, they are full of resistance genes.

The famous writer and author of "The Little Prince", Saint-Exupery, chose to go into exile in New York after the surrender of France. In 1943, he volunteered to join the army at the age of more than 40 and became a reconnaissance pilot of the Allied Forces.

Saint-Exupéry disappeared off the coast of southern France in 1944 while on a reconnaissance mission.By the 90s, a German pilot admitted that he shot down Saint-Exupéry's plane.

Ironically, he said he had always been an avid reader of Saint-Exupéry. In 2003, the remains of the plane were found on the sea floor near what the German pilot described.

One of the world's greatest historians, Mark Bloch, one of the founders of the Annals School of History, fought for his country in World War I.

By the time of World War II, France had declared its surrender, and he still participated in the French guerrilla "French Shooter" in his 50s. He was finally arrested and killed in 1944. In prison, he completed his masterpiece " The Craft of the Historian".

"They Loved Life" is a book compiled, edited and published by French writer, French Communist fighter, Etienne Faron after World War II.

This book records the suicide notes of some French Communist fighters collected by Etienne Faron. Lockhart once read this book in his previous life.

The martyrs endured physical pain before they died, but their spirit and health were extremely relaxed. When they were tortured cruelly in the cell, they were addicted to all the good things in the past.

They, and their shackles, on their knees, or against a wall, wrote farewell letters in the last hours of their lives, sincere, proud, passionate letters.

In the letter, comrades kiss their relatives and lovers, they are full of apology and pride towards their fathers and mothers, and they are affectionate towards their lovers. How many comrades hope that their wives can find another reliable person.

It is serious to treat the next generation, and the word "request" is used in every letter... It is necessary to teach children to learn to hate, to cultivate resolute and unyielding people, for freedom, and to realize the ideal red in France.

At the end of the letter, many fighters donated what little money they had, as well as clothing donations, to the guerrilla collective.

These letters reminded Lockhart countless times of the shadows of countless Chinese martyrs in his previous life, but because of the existence of the river crab, Lockhart could not directly confide his emotions.

But now, Lockhart saw the shadows of these people among the Aurors who could easily be a vested interest but chose to strike, and among the ordinary wizards who chose to attack the Ministry of Magic for some truth.

In the magic world, the power of ordinary wizards is undoubtedly weak. Even if a few Auror troops choose to strike, the Ministry of Magic still has many Aurors that can be used to suppress these wizards.

Even if there is no Auror, the Ministry of Magic still has its own secret troops, even if the secret troops are not used, the Ministry of Magic still has various alchemy items.

Moreover, the wizards of the Ministry of Magic are also elite figures in the magic world. Faced with most of the ordinary wizards who cannot even release a complete armor spell, and almost all of them have no apparation ability, they can rely on the civilian officials of the Ministry of Magic. Easy repression.

One thing that has been neglected by all for a long time is the source of the power of those in power.

In the tens of thousands of years in the past, many people believed that power comes from above, and the highest can go to heaven and gods.

In Europe, where feudalism was generally practiced, it was believed that the power of the baron came from the earl, and the power of the earl came from the duke.The power of the duke comes from the king, and the power of the king comes from the emperor, and even the emperor wants to make up a lie about the divine right of kings.

In the unified East, people believe that the power of the courtiers comes from the emperor, and the emperor calls himself the son of heaven. Every time he issued an edict, he had to repeat it to everyone at the beginning, and he was entrusted to the emperor by heaven. "The Yuxi.

This kind of thinking has been circulating for thousands of years or even longer, but it is a solid lie.

Power does not come from above, but from below.

This is not only true in modern times with electoral systems, but also in feudal societies.

In ancient China, there has always been a saying that the sky listens to the people, and the sky sees the people.Mencius, who has always been disliked by feudal emperors, even put forward the saying that the people are more important than the king, the people are like water, and the king is like a boat. Whoever can carry a boat can also overturn it.

If an emperor can't satisfy the lower class, then there will be people who shout "The princes and generals are kind!" Even if they don't have weapons and equipment, they can cut trees into soldiers and raise poles into banners. Turn over a dynasty.

King Louis XVI of France controlled the national army. On the day when the French Revolution broke out and the crowd captured the Bastille, he still wrote in his diary that "nothing happened". As a result, the next day, La Rochefoucauld The duke reported the unrest to him.

Louis XVI was woken up in his sleep, and asked the Duke of La Rochefoucauld in horror: "Is there a riot?" The Duke of La Rochefoucauld replied: "No, Your Majesty, this is a revolution."

When the masses are dissatisfied, any political power will be overthrown. Don't try to rely on the army to suppress the masses, because among the masses there are fathers, old folks, brothers and wives of the army.Soldiers also come from the masses.

Now, Lockhart could see very clearly that the French wizarding masses, they were rioting.

The smaller the group, the easier it is to form a society of acquaintances, which is very conducive to favoritism, fraud and dictatorship, but when the masses are dissatisfied with the ruler, the ruler is also very difficult to resist.

When the first wizard who was dispatched by the French Ministry of Magic to appease the crowd came out to appease the furious crowd, someone recognized him immediately, and then his parents and good friends were called to the scene.

An action to appease the rioting wizards immediately turned into a family ethics drama, and then the wizard who was dispatched by the Ministry of Magic to appease the masses also joined the team of rioting wizards demanding an explanation from the Ministry of Magic.

This is inevitable, all his relatives and friends are in the ranks of the riots, who is the group that represents his interests, and who is closely related to him.
