Chapter 1636 Skiing is addictive
Xiao Peng's goal was the Kafka Ski Resort on Mount Vidoforei, named after the famous novelist Franz Kafka, who said it was his favorite ski resort during his lifetime. Many people believe Kafka was an Austrian writer, but he was actually a native Czech.
However, Xiao Peng is not sure whether Kafka could ski - at least all those who study Kafka's history have never heard that he could ski.
"Boss, do you believe it now?" Kasin said cheerfully, "Skiing is addictive!"
Xiao Peng nodded and said, "Indeed, Anna told me this ski resort is great and that I must come here when I come to the Czech Republic."
Van der Laupe said, "Boss, what I heard is different from what Anna heard. I heard it's quite dangerous here. The equipment is not very complete and the risk is quite high."
Xiao Peng smiled and said, "That's what makes it fun, isn't it? It's fun because it's difficult! Have you booked the rooms?"
Van der Raupe said, "It's already ordered, but there's a problem: the ski resort there is an old Soviet-style building, you know."
After hearing this, Xiao Peng blinked, indicating that he didn't quite understand, but he soon knew the answer: the resort here is a standard Soviet building.
The relationship between Czechoslovakia and the Soviet Union has always been complicated.
After the Czech Republic was destroyed by Germany in World War II, the Soviet Union immediately extended a helping hand to the Czech Republic and established a Czech government in exile in the Soviet Union. After World War II, it also became one of the Warsaw Pact countries and a founding member of the "Council for Comecon" headed by the Soviet Union.
Later, in 1968, the Czech Republic launched the "Prague Spring" movement. Simply put, it was a movement to carry out democratic reforms and break away from the influence of the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union did not tolerate this behavior and directly organized all Warsaw Pact member states to organize 750,000 troops to occupy the entire Czech Republic within 48 hours!
That invasion was a real slap in the face for Western intelligence agencies: there were a large number of Western intelligence agencies in Czechoslovakia at the time, but when the Soviet Union occupied Czechoslovakia, they thought it was just a drill...
Crucially, the Soviet Union taught the world a lesson in military tactics: First, they forced a civilian airliner to land at Prague Airport, citing a malfunction as an excuse. Then, the special forces on board quickly seized the airport, and then transport planes continuously flowed tanks into Prague, launching a pincer attack. Over 200,000 Czech troops were annihilated before they could even resist. Czech leaders who demanded reform were taken directly back to Moscow and imprisoned. From that point on, until the Soviet Union's collapse, the Czech Republic remained the most docile state under the Soviet Union, serving as a "resort" for the Soviets—they had no choice but to obey! Soviet troops were stationed in the Czech Republic!
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Czech Republic also disintegrated into the Czech Republic and Slovakia. However, the two countries have one thing in common, that is, "the economy relies on the European Union and the military relies on the United States." Both have become the vanguard of the opposition to Russia. Some time ago, the Czech Republic expelled 18 Russian diplomats at once, and Russia directly expelled 20 Czech diplomats. As a result, the Czech Republic got angry when it learned about this and warned Russia to quickly ask our diplomats to go back, otherwise we will really deal with you!
So don't get too angry about what this country does, it's basically like dealing with a drunk - it's the 'Gambia of Europe'!
However, it was under the control of the Soviet Union for more than 30 years, so many traces of the Soviet era can still be seen here.
For example, the resort they were visiting looked remarkably like the Soviet-aided buildings in Daxia from the 1950s and 1960s. It had only three long stories, red brick walls and European-style roofs, symmetrically arranged along a central axis. It was a standard three-stage structure, and to those unfamiliar, one might mistake it for a state-owned enterprise dormitory in Daxia half a century ago.
After entering the main building, Xiao Peng and his friends checked in and entered the room: There is no grand presidential suite here. All the rooms are the same, standard rooms, and the space is not as good as Xiao Peng's cabin in Germany. As soon as Xiao Peng entered the room, he heard inexplicable noises coming from the neighbor's room.
"Damn, the soundproofing here is terrible!" Xiao Peng complained directly, "It's already started in broad daylight?"
Kaxin put his ear directly to the wall: "Boss, why is there only a woman's voice?"
Xiao Peng rolled his eyes at him and said, "Don't you have anything better to focus on?"
"Yes!" Kasin said, "Those are the voices of two women!"
"Hmm?" Xiao Peng also perked up: "Let me listen..."
He was just about to lean against the wall to listen when Van der Laupe walked into the room and asked, "Boss, what are you doing?"
Xiao Peng and Kasin stood aside together and said to Van der Laupe, "We are looking at this room."
Van der Laupe nodded and said, "Indeed, Boss, this room is too small. Are you uncomfortable living in it?"
Xiao Peng quickly said, "No, no, no, I don't feel uncomfortable. How nice is it here? At least there's no need to burn the fireplace and fill the room with ashes. There's heating here! Look at the bathtubs here, they're all double bathrooms... Is this a ski resort or a love hotel? How are your rooms?"
Kasin rolled his eyes and said, "Boss, the bathroom in my room is bigger. How about we change rooms?"
Xiao Peng abruptly changed the subject and said, "Uh, are you all hungry? Let's go downstairs and have a good night's rest. We've been running around all day. Let's have some fun for a few days!"
After hearing this, Van der Laupe put a big coat on Xiao Peng and the three of them walked out of the room: As soon as they walked out, the door next to them opened and two women walked out. Kasim gave Xiao Peng a meaningful smile, which meant: Look, they were the ones who made the noise just now.
After the two women came out, they smiled at Xiao Peng. When they passed by Xiao Peng, one of the girls reached out and touched Xiao Peng's face, and then the two girls laughed together like bells.
Kasin exclaimed, "Boss, you're welcome wherever you go!"
Xiao Peng said, "Come on, they are probably locals who have never seen a yellow person."
He was not joking. From the moment he entered the ski resort, he became the focus of everyone's attention: there were no people of other skin colors here except white people.
As he said this, he put his hand into his coat pocket. In his hand was a small piece of plastic that the girl had put in when she passed by him.
"Don't stand there, let's go!" Xiao Peng said to Kasim and Vander Loupe.
"Okay!"
The three of them went downstairs to the restaurant, which was also in standard Soviet style, with rows of small square tables.
Xiao Peng was still looking for an empty seat when suddenly six young men and women at a table stood up and walked up to him: "Are you... from Daxia?"
"Yeah, is there any problem?" Xiao Peng was stunned.
"Please leave, you are not welcome here!"
"Um?"
