Hungarian history lesson.

In 1944, during World War II, a reception was held in Rio de Janeiro, and the Hungarian ambassador was among the guests. The Hungarian ambassador, wearing his ceremonial uniform, entered the room and gave a Nazi salute. The host of the reception, an influential banker, noticed the ambassador's arrival and approached him.

"Your Excellency, I saluted you with Heil Hitler. I assume that the people of your country belong to the Nordic race?"

The ambassador replied, "No, we are of Mongolian origin."

The banker was curious and continued. "So I think your country should be located in Asia?"

"No, Hungary is part of Central Europe."

"I know there is a war in Central Europe. Is Hungary involved in this?"

"Yes, indeed. We are fighting against the Soviet Union."

"And do you have any territorial claims against the Soviet Union?"

"No, we have no territorial claims against the Soviets. However, we do have claims against Romania and Slovakia."

"So Romania and Slovakia must be your enemies, then?"

"No, they are our allies."

The banker was slightly confused by the ambassador's answers, but finally he saw a royal insignia on his uniform and continued: "I consider Hungary a kingdom. What does your King do?"

"We don't have a king. We are ruled by an admiral."

"Oh, by an admiral? So Hungary must have access to the sea."

"No. We are a landlocked country."

The banker was even more puzzled. "Anyway, what about your admiral?"

"He was captured by the Germans."

"Are they also your enemies?"

"No, the Germans are our greatest allies and friends."

The banker was completely lost. "Damn it! I really don't understand. You live in a landlocked kingdom in the heart of Europe, ruled by an admiral who was captured by his best friends. You are at war with a country from which you don't want a single hectare of land. On the other hand, you have territorial claims against your allies. This is a truly bizarre situation!"

" No sir, it's the new European order!. "
