My Italian: Chapter 584 Corsica

Corsica is France's largest island in the Mediterranean Sea and has been ruled by France since 1768.

Speaking of which, the only one who allowed Corsica to show its face in the world was the Emperor Napoleon who almost unified the European continent. However, after the second son of the Bonaparte family became emperor, he only made the Bonaparte family flourish, and he couldn't do anything about the birthplace of Corsica.

That's right, the land of Corsica, which Nahuang can't do anything about, is barren, and its economy is mainly based on cheese and wine. The population of the island is only over 100,000, which is far inferior to that of Sardinia, which is 18 kilometers away. Yes, Sardinia is indeed one and a half times larger than Corsica, but the population gap between the two is nearly seven times.

From here, we can see how barren Corsica is, and it can't even support too many people. Even in later generations, Corsica is the poorest place in mainland France.

As the saying goes, troublemakers come out of poor mountains and rivers, and that's exactly what the Corsicans think. The Corsicans believed that their island had remained so poor mainly as a result of the French occupation. France spends all of Corsicans' tax dollars elsewhere, completely ignoring Corsicans' interests.

Therefore, the independence movement in Corsica has never been quelled. It's like whack-a-mole, it will pop out from nowhere at any time.

For example, in recent years, talk of Corsica's independence has emerged again. However, it is different from previous purely independent speeches. Italian words appeared in this independent speech.

What's going on here?

It turns out that some people think that it is extremely difficult for Corsica to gain independence by virtue of its own strength, so why not use the hands of others. Such as Italy next door which is hostile to France.

Don't get me wrong, although Corsica's language and culture tend to be Italian, the Corsicans' sense of Italy is not very good, mainly because in the 18th century, during the rule of the Genoese, their brutal rule left enough Bad reputation.

Of course, with the substantial improvement of Italy's economic level in recent years, Corsica's perception of Italy has become slightly better.

Of course, the French government, as the ruler, attaches great importance to Corsica's independent remarks. From time to time, the French secret police want to arrest a group of Corsicans who dare to discuss the topic of independence.

However, the suppression of the French government cannot dispel Corsica's idea of ​​independence. Every suppression will be exchanged for a rebound, which is also a headache for every French government.

Bastia is the second largest city in Corsica with a population of 40,000. This is Corsica's main port for trade with Italy. However, due to the size of Corsica's economy, the development of the city is not large.

Recently, however, the police in Bastia have become extremely busy, as someone posted a large number of signs in the city saying Corsica's independence. This made the mayor angry and demanded that the chief of police must find those who posted the signs, or he would report his incompetence to his superiors.

Facing the coercion of the mayor, the police in Bastia have become extremely busy. They not only have to deal with various tasks at hand during the day, but also keep their eyes open like night owls at night to see if any suspicious elements come to post The catchphrase is pitiful to say the least.

On a street, two police officers were yawning and walking down the street cursing, flashlights in their hands constantly shaking.

"Damn it, it's been a week since we've been patrolling day and night."

"Who knows, I don't know if the suspicious elements can catch me, but I'm almost exhausted. I only sleep for four or five hours a day, so I don't have the energy to catch independent elements."

Amidst the complaints of the two policemen, they walked slowly across the street and disappeared after a corner. Then the empty streets fell into silence.

Suddenly, three black figures appeared, holding signs with slogans of independence in their hands, and paste in the other hand.

"Colonna, take a sign and post it on Oak Street next door. Bulgan, go to Dowap Street on the south side."

One of the men assigned tasks to the other two, and it seemed that they were the ones who posted the previous slogan.

"OK."

"knew."

After the two answered, they were just about to set off when the leading man continued. "Everyone should pay attention to the time. The interval between these police patrols we observed before. You must be more vigilant. It doesn't matter if you can't finish posting. You must protect yourself."

Facing the lead man's exhortation, the two knew it was for their own good, so they nodded and answered. "We know, we will withdraw as soon as the twenty minutes are up."

"Okay, gather at my house after we're done."

Then three bold young people posted slogans on the walls of the street.

When the time came, the three of them quickly left with slogans and buckets.

The next day, the slogan appeared again, causing everyone in Bastia to talk about it. Some people agreed and some opposed it, but no matter how they were discussed, the topic of Corsica's independence spread quickly in Bastia. The police, on the other hand, patrolled everywhere as if facing an enemy, looking for suspicious persons.

As for the three young people who put up the leaflets, they seemed to be fine, sitting together and admiring their masterpieces.

"Jaffrey, you are right. This method of posting leaflets can really expand the independent topic and let more people talk about it."

"It allows independent ideas to spread far and wide."

"Beautiful Corsica cannot accept the fate of being enslaved by France. Someone must stand up. This is also the idea that Mr. Quiroga passed on to us."

The three talked about independent speeches while observing the chaos they caused.

They all belonged to the Corsican Independence Movement, a member of the Corsican National Liberation Party.

The Corsican National Liberation Party, founded in 1897, is already fifteen years old. There are currently more than one hundred people in their organization, and what they are pursuing is to liberate Corsica from French rule.

On weekdays, it mainly calls for the independent consciousness of Corsicans in the form of posting slogans, handing out leaflets, and giving speeches.

Belonging to an independent party that is not considered radical~www.mtlnovel.com~But even so, it is also within the scope of the French government's attack.

For France, at least organizations and individuals who talk about Corsica's independence are within the scope of its attack.

As for how many independent organizations there are in Corsica, according to the statistics of the French Ministry of the Interior, there are currently nine. These illegal organizations promote the independence of Corsica under various banners. Some are radical and some are moderate. However, these organizations are not large, with a maximum number of two or three hundred people. Relying on these organizations to make Corsica independent, It was just a daydream.

Of course, it is necessary to prevent foreign forces with malicious intentions from intervening in Corsica, and the French government has given priority to attacking the recent remarks about using foreign forces.
