Chapter 652 Little Puppy
When Abby came out, she found that there were more people surrounding Xiao Peng.
"Hey, what happened again?" Abby greeted Xiao Peng from a distance.
Xiao Peng said helplessly: "I ran into a female gangster and her Gambian puppies."
Abby may not know what the word "little milk dog" means, but after connecting it to "Gambia", Abby instantly understood what Xiao Peng meant and looked at Xiao Peng with sympathy.
Where is "Gambia"? It's a small West African country that competes with Goryeo for the title of "the most powerful nation in the universe." It's far from China. If it were next to China, the Chinese probably wouldn't tell jokes about Goryeo, because "Gambia" is even more bizarre than Goryeo.
It's a truly tiny country, less than two-thirds the size of northern Taiwan, surrounded on three sides by Senegal and one by the Atlantic Ocean. It was originally a colony of Portugal, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, Britain, and France. In the 17th century, Britain and France fought several battles over ownership of Senegal and Gambia, ultimately giving Britain the fertile lands along the Gambia River and France Senegal beyond.
During the vigorous wave of colonial independence in the middle of the last century, Gambia also followed suit and demanded independence, so Britain agreed to Gambia's independence in 1965.
As a result, after the UK and Gambia achieved independence, Gambia was dumbfounded: "Independence? Really independent? Then what should we do after independence?" All Gambians couldn't figure out what to do after independence. It was not until five years later that they came to their senses - oh, they should establish a country after independence. So it was not until 1970 that Gambia officially established a country.
Since their founding, they have established a "weird" strategy. For example, during the Afghan War, Gambia shouted the slogan: "We will capture the entire Soviet Union in three days!" And all the soldiers in this country added up to less than four figures...
However, Gambia was generally a relatively normal country at that time. It was not until the legendary leader Jammeh became president that the country began to become increasingly distorted.
Jammeh was just a lieutenant in the Gambia army at the time. In protest against the government's withholding of wages, he and three other lieutenants led 800 soldiers to capture the presidential palace in Banjul, the capital of Gambia. Then the 26-year-old Jammeh became the new president, more than a year younger than General Kim.
Jammeh is the undisputed "world's most powerful man." His rise to power through a military coup garnered considerable criticism from Europe. After all, the previous president, the founding father of Gambia, had come to power with British support. "How can you overthrow our own spokesperson?" Consequently, Europe was critical of Jammeh's coup.
So what did Jammeh do? He issued a direct warning to Europe: If you keep talking nonsense, I'll send an expeditionary force across the continent! To prove his worth, he actually expanded the army. The Gambia's army finally went from three figures to four figures, with a total of 1,000 soldiers!
When Jammeh went to the United States to meet O'Guanhai, he told the latter not to worry about China. If there was a conflict between the United States and China, he would send a thousand troops to curb China's military actions and conquer China.
Well...it's not that he underestimates China, it's because there are only a thousand troops in the entire Gambia...
Jammeh has ruled The Gambia for 21 years, a period marked by countless bizarre statements. He is the only person in the world who can claim to have a cure for AIDS. As for the method? "It's a mysterious power bestowed upon him by God."
Many people think Jammeh is a fool after hearing his story, but in fact he is not! He is a typical "top student"!
Jammeh studied in the United States when he was young. What hasn't he seen there? He doesn't realize how much of a joke his actions are in the eyes of ordinary people. But Gambians are particularly receptive to this kind of talk! The more he brags, the more secure his position becomes!
Illiteracy is rampant in Gambia, where more than half of its people can't even write their own names. So even important elections like the presidency are decided by throwing a marble, not a ballot.
(P.S. The method involves using three drums with three different colored glass balls representing the three candidates. Voters drop the ball representing the candidate they support onto one drum, and the vote counters use the drum beat to determine who they voted for. This method is incredibly easy to cheat. In 2011, Jammeh was re-elected with over 75% of the vote, nearly sparking a civil war in Gambia. In the 2016 election, Jammeh narrowly lost, so he resorted to cheating again, leaving the presidency over a year later.)
But even though Jammeh is no longer the president of Gambia, he's currently enjoying a life of luxury in the US, seemingly uninterested in his homeland. As the saying goes, for rulers, the more ignorant the people are, the more secure their position. Enlightening the people like the Chinese? It's impossible! Even now, Jammeh's position in Gambia is extremely high. Many ordinary people consider him the most formidable sage and healer in the country... Even if the Gambian people one day demanded Jammeh return as president, Xiao Peng would believe it.
But no matter what, this country is really, really, really poor! Even though they are located on the fertile banks of the Gambia River, they even need food aid...
So what about the 'Gambian puppy'?
What's Gambia's main source of foreign exchange? Agriculture, where 80% of the population works? Or Gambia's industry, which consists of a single brewery and a single tannery? Neither! It's tourism!
Although Gambia's terrain resembles an earthworm, it does have beaches. This small country with a population of two million has more than fifty large hotels with more than seventy rooms. White tourists from European countries can be seen everywhere on the Gambian beach.
However, the white tourists who come here are basically white old ladies.
They have a particular fondness for Gambian hunks, traveling all the way from Europe to Gambia specifically to find local men for sex. They look for young, strong men, then book them for a week or two weeks, returning to Europe when they've had enough. This isn't a Gambian phenomenon; it's also seen in countries like Kenya, but it's especially prevalent in Gambia. It's similar to how older European and American men often travel to Southeast Asian countries for sex.
When they serve these old ladies, they all do their best. It is not just for money. Serving the old ladies well and bringing them back to Europe is really like "leaping over the dragon gate and ascending to heaven in one step."
But this is too difficult, after all, the old lady has a husband and family back in Europe. Can you take it seriously when she's just here for fun?
The old lady that Xiao Peng offended was a typical "rich and powerful" woman, with four Gambian puppies around her.
Damn, can you handle it?
