Introduction: There is such a game series, both 2D are good, and after 3D is transformed, the series is full of criticism. Now the series is completely "using old money", but there are a group of old players like us who are moved by it.
This series is the former " Contra ".
It is no exaggeration to say: There is no need to say a word about Conra. I guess everyone here is most familiar with it.

- What is "Contra"? ——Cold War Horror
In childhood, we all played Conrat, but we just don’t know what Conrat is?
The most common explanation is that "soul" is the soul, and Douluo refers to "fighting arhat", which means a tough guy anyway.
In fact, "Contra" is taken from the ancient Indian Sanskrit . It is introduced at the beginning of the Japanese version as "a fighter with excellent combat ability and qualities", while the American version name is a simple "CONTRA".
"CONTRA" not only means "opposition" and "contra", but also refers to "rebels".
In the history of the Cold War, there are indeed two "CONTRAs", but to be honest, these two are not good things, and even once made US President Reagan extremely embarrassed and difficult to get out of Taiwan. This is also a microcosm of relations between large and large countries under the Cold War.
The background of "Contra" in reality
Nicaragua is a country that seems to have no cards. After all, this kind of place can only be heard of on the court.
The name of Nicaragua comes from Lake Nicaragua , which is located in Central America , bordering Costa Rica and Honduras . It was a Spanish colony in history, and after independence, it had to face threats from the United States.
In the 1930s, the guerrillas led by the national hero August Cesar Sandino defeated the US invasion and won the war for Nicaragua. However, the hero did not die on the battlefield, but in the end he died at the hands of a traitor...
It turned out that National Guard , Annasta Theo Somocha , set up a Hongmen Banquet and killed Sandino. Since then, Nicaragua has been under the rule of the American comprador Somocha family.
, wearing a cowboy hat and a tough face, Sandino is now a national symbol of Nicaragua. However, , Asia, Africa, and Latin are not short of heroes, but heroes rarely have a good ending. The background music name at the end of "Contra" is also called "Sandino" . It may be ironic or a pity for heroes
Due to the search of Somocha , domestic complaints were heard. Finally, in 1961, the "Sandino National Liberation Front" (Sandino National Liberation Formation) named after Sandinino appeared. Because of the dispute over routes, whether to go to rural areas or cities, whether to go to guerrillas or march into big cities, the Sang Jie Formation was once in chaos. But in 1979, they still won the position of Somocha in one fell swoop. In 1963, the Sand Resolution Fortress welcomed an important person - Jose Daniel Ortega , which is the future president of Nicaragua.
Although there were some political ambitions during the period of the Sanjie Formation's reign from 1979 to 1990, the reality was cruel, especially its left-wing color once feared by the American forces led by Reagan. For this reason, Reagan did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to support the opposition guerrillas
. This team was called "CONTRAS" .
"Contra" has a despicable reputation in history
The "Contra" in history are really sorry for the title in the game: basically killing people and setting fires, doing everything evil.
In the end, Reagan was also not allowed to continue to absolutely provide assistance (on the surface).
Nicaragua CONTRAS is actually a general term. It is formed by a joint force of multiple military organizations. The most powerful is the Nicaragua Democratic Forces and the Democratic Revolutionary Alliance. In 1986, CONTRAS reached its peak with the support of CIA and became an important military force in Nicaragua. At the same time, Nicaragua's economy was almost done.
In 1990, Ortega reached a settlement with CONTRAS, which lasted for a long time, with losses of up to 12 billion and 50,000 people killed.
The same mulberry formation also stepped down from the stage of history until 2006 Ortega took the throne of president again, but Nicaragua's fate did not turn around...
Ortega and Castro . Some people say that Ortega is an anti-American hero and dares to make small moves in the back garden of the United States, but some people say that he is a "dragon slaying hero" turned into a "evil dragon".
can only say that the situation in Nicaragua has always been unsatisfactory, including the days when Ortega stepped down, and the people were filled with joy. After Ortega came out again, they found that his promise was not fulfilled.
There is more than one Contra, and there is also the "IRAN-CONTRA AFFAIR".
In the early 1980s, there were a large number of kidnapping cases against foreigners in Lebanon. The kidnapping was the Lebanese Hezbollah forces. Due to the tough early days of the United States (beating to death without dealing with terrorist organizations), the matter was delayed again and again, directly causing a hostage to be killed.
Considering that the kidnappers have Iran behind the scenes, Reagan had to consider negotiating conditions with this country that had long been unconnected.
Although Iran and the United States broke off, considering that they had to compete with their rival Iraq , they were not very good at it. The United States simply felt that they could reconnect. Although Reagan and his group did not agree, the transaction was still unveiled.
Starting from 1985, aircraft and ships loaded with missiles, and other equipment components began to operate, and the two parties carried out transactions through the matchmaking of the intermediary Israel. However, in 1986, with the leak of Lebanese newspapers (actually the power struggle in Iran, the leaker Hashmi was also executed), this secret became known.
Reagan said that he didn't know what was going on, but he was indeed responsible (he also won some praise for this, and his term of office was about to expire, so he finally spent his presidential career safely).
Of course, this transaction is not free. Iran paid $30 million in exchange for aid, but the United States used part of the reward to continue to support Nicaragua's "CONTRAS". (It is said that the support of CONTRAS in Nicaragua even comes from drug transactions)
