Golden Greenery

Chapter 481 Spain’s defending champion

Voltaire once said: The Holy Roman Empire is neither holy, nor Roman, nor an empire.

This empire in name only became more and more fragmented later on, and even became a piece of scattered sand, with more than 300 vassal states, free cities, and 1,700 territories directly under the imperial knights.

If we use the ancient Chinese concepts of "great unification," "family world," and "orthodoxy" to understand the Holy Roman Empire, it is easy to over-understand and misunderstand it.

So it makes sense to think carefully about what Voltaire said.

Since Charles IV of the Holy Roman Empire, the emperor of the empire has no longer been crowned by the pope, and the pious anointing ceremony has no longer been performed. How can it be said to be sacred?

Charlemagne, the ancestor emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, is known as the father of Europe, but his blood is after all Germanic. In the eyes of the ancient Romans, they were nomadic barbarians east of the Rhine and north of the Danube. What about Rome?

After Charles IV, the hereditary system within the empire had completely turned into an electoral system. The emperor was elected by seven princes, not by the emperor alone. There are many states within the empire, so how can we talk about an empire?

The HRE, which was neither holy nor Roman nor an empire, has long since disappeared. Most of the princes it ruled in the past have also changed their flags. Only the Liechtenstein family, which was loyal back then, has been passed down to this day and always has its own fiefdom.

Liechtenstein may now be the only prince who still misses Holy Rome and the Habsburg royal family of the Holy Roman Empire. Only Liechtenstein in the world still has the crown of the Holy Roman Empire flying on its flag.

Tourism is one of Liechtenstein's pillar industries. The country with a population of 30,000 received more than 200,000 tourists last year and accommodated 110,000 people in large and small hotels. But to be honest, there's really nothing interesting here.

Tourists are not allowed to enter the Grand Duke Castle. Except for the museums in Vaduz, you can only go skiing in winter. If you cannot stop the car, you may slip into Switzerland accidentally.

Liechtenstein citizens are wealthy.

Europeans look at Africans the way Swiss look at other Europeans, and Liechtensteiners look at Swiss people the same way.

But because the buildings are so old, Liechtenstein is full of old or even shabby feeling, which on the surface has nothing to do with wealth and splendor. As for the scenery in the mountains and forests, only benevolent people have different opinions. Is there really such a big difference between mountains?

all in all,

Liechtenstein's only selling point is its "pocket size", but it is actually not a very ideal travel destination. This place is more suitable for celebrities like Zhuo Yang to take a break from the busy schedule and escape from the world, where they can laze comfortably and quietly for a few days.

"Kou Kou, how about I pay some money to rent your country for two days and feel like a king?" Zhuo Yang said.

"Why don't you give me your money, and I promise to serve you like a king."

"My dear, why are you...like a female gangster."

"Hee hee hee……"

The Liechtenstein family may be the most low-key royal family in Europe. The palace in Vaduz does not look grand at all, it is just a gray and old castle. But in fact, the Liechtenstein family is much richer than the British royal family and is the richest royal family in Europe.

Liechtenstein's banking system is connected with Swiss banks. It is part of the Swiss banking system and an important component of the international financial system.

The Liechtenstein family actually controls two of the top ten banks in Liechtenstein and is involved in three others. The assets of these banks alone exceed US$30 billion.

However, the great economic recession in Europe in recent years has also affected Liechtenstein's profits, so the Grand Duke couldn't wait to jump out and cry out: he can't live in this life anymore.

Late last year, Liechtenstein launched the ‘State Lease’ concept. Anyone who spends 40,000 pounds, or about 425,000 yuan, can become the 'temporary king' of Liechtenstein for a day.

Rental starts from two days and caps at seven days.

The temporary king can get a symbolic key, can travel around the country in a carriage, and can also order the police to clear the way for you in front. You can go and hear how parliament meets, and you can also ski for free, enter museums for free, and enjoy free lunch with red wine.

That's it, otherwise what else do you want to do?

You can say that the Liechtenstein family is very practical, or you can say that they are shameless in order to make money.

Of course Zhuo Yang was just joking. Spending a lot of money like this was actually just a silly act to buy a limited-time travel pass, and he wouldn't do it.

In this paradise in the vast mountains, Zhuo Yang was also very busy. He kept tearing Kou Kou off his body all day long. Tear it off, stick it on, tear it off and stick it on again.

When two people who love each other deeply stay together, the entertainment is quite monotonous.

The European Championship final, which was originally thought to be like Mars hitting the Earth, was quite monotonous. Ninety minutes turned out to be an incredible one-sided scene.

Balotelli is no longer magical. On this day, he is just a mediocre mortal. Italy only symbolically went back and forth with Spain in the first ten minutes.

In the 14th minute, Xavi passed the ball in the midfield, Iniesta accurately passed the right side of the penalty area, Fabregas got rid of Balzaretti's bottom line and returned to the center, and David Silva headed the ball 6 meters in front of the goal. Break the door.

After 1:0, Italy could not fight back at all and could only resist and resist again.

Jordi Alba is Spain's biggest discovery this year. The 22-year-old Valencia left-back has made up for the final shortcomings of Spain's defense, and his offensive ability is as dazzling as a winger.

In the 41st minute, Casillas kicked the ball with a big kick. Xiaofa headed the ball back from the left side of the frontcourt. Alba handed it to Xavi. His left foot pushed into the net from 12 meters away from the door, 2:0. This is Alba's first goal for the national team. In the first half, Spain will establish the championship situation.

Alba was born in La Masia and was loaned out by Barcelona in 2008 for training. Just after the season ended, Barcelona announced that Alba would be recycled for the new season. He will wear the No. 18 jersey and fight for the red and blue.

In the second half, Prandelli mobilized his troops and soon threw out all three substitutions in his hand.

Motta, who came on to replace the tired Meng Er, had a muscle in his right thigh and was carried off on a stretcher. Italy had only 10 players to fight.

In the 84th minute, Harvey intercepted Pirlo's direct pass in the frontcourt, and Torres pushed into the lower right corner 13 meters in front of the goal, 3:0.

In the 88th minute, Harvey made a direct pass from the center. Torres broke into the left side of the penalty area against offside. Facing Buffon's outside instep, Mata pushed his left foot into the net from the center 10 meters away from the goal, 4:0.

The Italian was nearly beaten to tears.

During the full stoppage time, Casillas shouted to the Portuguese referee Proenca: "Hey, Mr. referee, you can blow the whistle. You should leave some dignity to Italy."

Proenca blew the whistle at the end of the 2012 European Championship. Spain became the first team to win the championship again. 4:0 was also the most disparate score in the history of the European Championship final.
