I watched Er Chuang’s short video, and everything went numb!

The plane of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin already understood why this small island country was in constant war.

Its geographical location is so important that the surrounding powers must want to control this small island country.

For their own interests, various forces are struggling here, which will inevitably lead to various conflicts.

Li Shimin shook his head.

This is the sadness of weak and small countries.

……

[The area of ​​Cyprus is about 10,000 square kilometers, and the population is less than 1.2 million. ]

[Since the island was first discovered by Greece, most of the residents on the island are Greeks, and their customs and habits are no different from those of Greece. ]

[Because Cyprus is too important, it is bound to be coveted by many surrounding countries, and many European powers often invade and occupy it. ]

[During the rule of the Ottoman Empire, it marched here in large numbers, and the Turkish people became the second largest ethnic group in Cyprus. 】

【Later, with the decline of the Ottoman Empire, Cyprus was occupied by the British Empire and became a colony of the British Empire. 】

……

"How miserable!"

Many ancient people in the past dynasties sighed in their hearts.

This Cyprus was completely manipulated by the European powers and had no national dignity.

They felt a little sympathy for Cyprus.

……

The plane of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

When Liu Che saw the population composition of Cyprus, he knew that this country would not be quiet in the future.

The Greeks are the largest ethnic group and will inevitably move closer to Greece.

And the Turkish people are the second largest ethnic group and will definitely stand with Turkey.

This is most likely a long-term contradiction.

And the racial and ethnic contradictions of a country are extremely difficult to reconcile.

If there is no nation with absolute dominance to suppress other nations, then in a multi-ethnic country, conflicts are difficult to avoid.

Not to mention the situation like Cyprus where external forces constantly interfere and instigate.

……

[After World War II, the overseas colonies of the British Empire collapsed, and Cyprus also wanted independence and made a big fuss. ]

[This is not because Cyprus has become strong, but because it has a small population and a small country, it is less oppressed. ]

[Moreover, most of its citizens are Greeks and Turkish, so it has the support of Greece and Turkey behind it. ]

[The two countries put pressure on the British Empire, and the British Empire was smart and recognized the situation. It knew that this island country could not be saved and would be lost sooner or later. ]

[So, the British Empire signed the Zurich-London Agreement with Turkey and Greece, recognizing the independence of Cyprus. 】

……

The dimension of Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Di recalled the many videos he had watched before about the international situation after World War II.

Then.

He felt that the British Empire would choose to give up Cyprus not because of Greece andPressure from Turkey.

The British Empire is one of the five permanent members of the United Nations. How could it be afraid of these two countries?

The reason why the British Empire compromised was mainly because of the anti-colonial wave at that time.

Even the two superpowers after World War II, the Eagle Sauce and the Big Brother, supported colonial confrontation.

Faced with such a situation, the British Empire could not go against the international trend.

…

[The British Empire is very cunning. Although it agreed to give up this island country, it has to take a bite of the meat in its mouth. ]

[It demands that the two strategic locations of Cyprus, "Akrotiri" and "Kailea", be separated as permanent military bases. ]

[Turkey and Greece have no other choice but to agree to the British Empire's request. ]

[In this way, Cyprus gained independence in name. 】

……

"It still depends on strength."

Many ancient people in the past dynasties sighed in their hearts.

The reason why the British Empire could take these two places in Cyprus was, of course, because it was stronger than Cyprus's backers Greece and Turkey.

……

Daqin plane.

Qin Shihuang shook his head.

As for Cyprus's situation, it will not be stable even after independence.

After the British Empire left, it will be Greece and Turkey who will compete over Cyprus.

These two countries strongly support Cyprus' independence, naturally not out of kindness, but for their own interests.

Both countries want to seek benefits from Cyprus, so there will naturally be conflicts of interest.

And the fact is indeed as Qin Shihuang expected.

……

[The good times didn’t last long. Only three years after independence, Cyprus began a decades-long civil war. ]

[After all, the population composition of the island nation is clear, with Greeks on one side and Turkish people on the other, and they are supported by two different countries. ]

[Different camps mean no peace. ]

[The Greeks hope that Cyprus can get closer to Greece, while the Turkish people hope that Cyprus can get along with Turkey. ]

[The contradictions between the two sides are sharp, and only a war can decide the outcome. ]

[However. ]

[After all, the Greeks came to this island first, and their population is much larger than that of the Turkish people, so the Turkish people are at a disadvantage on the battlefield. ]

[Seeing this situation, Turkey directly sent troops to help its younger brother and occupied as much as 40% of Cyprus’ land. 】

……

“As expected.”

Many ancient political elites throughout the dynasties were not surprised by this situation.

The important geographical location and the opposing ethnic population structure destined this small island country to be restless.

……

[The United Nations saw this situation and hurried over to mediate, sending peacekeeping forces to forcibly separate the two sides. 】

[To this day, Cyprus’The small country has been divided into four parts. 】

[There is a national government, a United Nations buffer zone, a military base of the British Empire, and 40% of the territory in the north has been occupied by Turkey and established as the Turkish Republic of Cyprus. 】

[However, this government is currently only recognized by Turkey itself. 】

[Therefore, in name, Cyprus is still a complete country. 】

……

Looking at the map of Cyprus on the giant screen in the sky.

Many ancient political elites in all dynasties shook their heads and sighed.

Whether in ancient times or in later generations, it is a world where the strong prey on the weak.

It is too difficult for a country like Cyprus, which is "guilty of holding a treasure", to gain true independence.

……

[Today, Nicosia, the capital of Cyprus, has also been divided into two parts, becoming the common capital of the north and the south. 】

[Both the North and the South have established their own government agencies in Nicosia.]

[Moreover, there are frequent frictions between the two sides, and they fight at every turn, and the winner has not been determined until now.]

……

Seeing this situation.

Many ancient people in all dynasties were shocked.

Even the capital was divided into two.

This is really too weird.

……

[However.]

[What shocked many people is that this country was not dragged down by the war, but continued to develop and progress, becoming an out-and-out developed country.]

[According to the latest data, in 2023, Cyprus's per capita GDP will be US$34,705, far exceeding the per capita GDP threshold of US$20,000 for developed countries.]

[A small island country that fights every day can actually become a wealthy developed country. What is the reason? 】

……

After watching the previous video about the situation in Cyprus.

Many ancient people in all dynasties became more and more curious about this question.

How did such a country divided by civil war develop?

They are very clear about the harm of civil war.

For example, the country called Sudan we saw before is rich in resources and can be said to be blessed by God, but it is almost starving to death due to the long-term civil war.

Why did Cyprus become a developed country without being affected?

With great curiosity, the ancients stared at the giant screen in the sky, waiting for the answer to be revealed.

……

[The reason behind this is actually very simple. In the ancient Chinese saying, "A sparrow is small but has all the internal organs." 】

[Although Cyprus is a small country, it has a complete industry. 】

[Whether it is agriculture, industry, or the tertiary industry, it is very developed. 】

[For example, Cyprus is the 11th largest flag state in the world and the third largest in the EU. It is also the largest ship management center in the EU and controls 20% of the global third-party ship management market. 】

[Tourism is also Cyprus'sOne of the pillar industries. 】

[Cyprus is rich in tourism resources, with blue sky, blue sea, beaches, castles, churches and vineyards. There are 340 sunny days in 365 days a year, which attracts a large number of tourists. 】

[The annual tourism income is nearly 3 billion US dollars. 】

[Among these industries in Cyprus, one special industry that must be mentioned is "selling household registration". 】

[Relying on "selling household registration" alone, Cyprus has earned an astonishing 65 billion dragon coins. 】

……

"Hiss! Earn so much?"

Many ancient people in all dynasties were shocked.

They looked at the giant screen in the sky more and more attentively, wanting to know what this selling household registration means specifically?

Why can Cyprus make so much money?

……

[The so-called "selling household registration" means selling Cyprus' nationality to foreign countries. 】(To read the best novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

[In 2012, Cyprus launched the "Golden Visa" program. 】

[The program consists of two parts: permanent residents and EU citizens. 】

[Among them, those who invest more than 300,000 euros in new houses can become permanent residents. 】

[Those who invest more than 2 million euros in real estate can become EU citizens. 】

[And the "Golden Visa" policy in Cyprus is also effective, and many foreign tycoons are scrambling to buy it. 】

[At present, the economic contribution brought by foreign tycoons buying Cypriot household registration has accounted for 25% of Cyprus' GDP. 】

……

The plane of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.

A hint of surprise flashed in Li Shimin's eyes.

He didn't expect that the "selling household registration" business in Cyprus could be so profitable.

"But what's the use of the nationality of such a small country?"

"Why do so many foreigners buy the nationality of this country?"

These questions emerged in Li Shimin's mind.

It is understandable that people from small and weak countries want to become citizens of a big and strong country to get protection.

But Cyprus is a small island country that is divided into pieces. What's the benefit of becoming a citizen of this country? []

Li Shimin doesn't believe that so many people would do this for no reason.

There must be some reason.

……

[Then why does Cyprus attract so many wealthy people? ]

[The first thing is the tax advantage. ]

[Cyprus is a non-global taxation country, with no property tax, no inheritance tax and gift tax, and the lowest corporate income tax in Europe (12.5%). It can be called a tax haven. Many large international companies are registered in Cyprus. 】

[At the same time, as a member of the European Union, having a Cyprus passport means having an EU passport, which allows you to enjoy the benefits of Greater Europe and visa-free access to 164 countries around the world. 】

[In addition, the University of Cyprus is also highly internationalized, and many universities in the United Kingdom, the United States and other countries mutually recognize credits and degrees, and there are no restrictions on transfers between schools. 】

……

"So that's it."

Many ancient people in the past dynasties suddenly realized it.

In the final analysis, it is because it is profitable.

But think about it.

People who can become rich are not stupid.

These people are willing to pay so much money for Cyprus's household registration, and they have naturally weighed it in their hearts.

……

[It is precisely because of the above reasons that Cyprus has become a developed country in the world despite the fragmentation of the country and the endless civil war. 】

……

After a brief conclusion.

The video ends.

Next.

In the sky giant screen.

The video refreshes.

A new video appears.

[Sin or freedom? Decoding the underground black market "Dark Web"! Is it really that scary? 】

……

After the title of this new video appeared, it was followed by a preface.

……

[Speaking of the dark web, many people are confused. They feel both unfamiliar and familiar with this term. 】

[It is unfamiliar because it seems that we have never come into contact with it. The explanation of the dark web on the Internet is also confusing and incomprehensible. 】

[It is familiar because people often discuss the dark web in many film and television dramas or online forums. 】

[For example, only 4% of the information we can see on the Internet, and the remaining 96% is on the dark web. 】

[Another example is that the dark web is full of vicious crimes, such as trafficking in arms and drugs, hiring killers, pornographic live broadcasts, trafficking in people and organs, etc. 】

……

See here.

Many ancient people in all dynasties were shocked.

After watching many previous videos, they have a certain understanding of the Internet, a technological product of later generations.

Their impression of the Internet is basically convenient, fast, and magical.

But they never expected that in later generations, there would be such a thing as the "dark web".

And if the description of people in later generations at this time is true, then the "dark web" is full of sins and is not a good place.

……

[So, what is the dark web? ]

[What is the difference between the information on the dark web and the information on the ordinary web? ]

[Is the hype and myth of the dark web on the Internet true? ]

[Today, UP will briefly talk about these issues. ]

……

After reading the preface.

The eyes of many ancient people in all dynasties looking at the giant screen in the sky became more focused.

They have a great interest in this so-called "dark web".

……

[First of all, the Internet world can be divided into two layers: the surface web and the deep web. ]

[The surface web is a website that anyone can click on, such as search engines,Portal websites, forums, Tieba, etc. 】

[The characteristic of the surface web is that the search engine can find and open the website. 】

[In short, the deep web requires login information, account password, verification code, special machine and special line, etc. to open. 】

[In short, it is the deep web that you cannot enter directly, which is referred to as the "deep web". 】

[The so-called 96% of Internet information is in the dark web, which is actually not accurate. It should be said that 96% of Internet information is in the deep web. 】

[The dark web is only a very small part of the deep web, and special tools are needed to enter it. 】

The bullet screen flew out:

"So that's it. I always thought that the dark web really took up so much information."

"Reply--Think about it, it's impossible. If the dark web can carry so much information, how big the server must be. It's simply unimaginable."

"Reply--If that's the case, then every move on the surface web and the deep web can be monitored, only on the dark web, is that right?"

"Reply--That should be it."

"..."

Da Ming Hongwu plane.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were full of thought.

He increasingly realized that the Internet in the future was a good thing.

Think about it, people in the future basically have to use this Internet, and their every move on the Internet can be monitored.

Doesn't this mean that the court can monitor almost all the people's behavior as long as it wants?

As an emperor, from the perspective of maintaining his rule, he naturally felt that this was a great thing, which could greatly enhance the government's management of the people and make such management easier.

Thinking of this.

An idea emerged in Zhu Yuanzhang's mind.

That is, the country in the future will definitely crack down on the dark web.

Because the dark web cannot be monitored and controlled, it is not conducive to the government's control.

And anything that will cause harm to the rulers and anything that is out of the government's control, he thinks should be eliminated.

This is the instinctive thinking of the feudal emperor. .
