First rebuff

First rebuff (Russian: Первый отпор, Pervyy otpor is the twenty-third issue of Countryballs from Art's Animations. It is a direct continuation of the twenty-first and twenty-second episodes "Reich" and "Brotherhood".

Plot
The meeting of the Starch Brotherhood is open. Belarus pushes the speech about the events and says that it is necessary to defeat the Reich at all costs. Belarus asks how the Brotherhood will stop evil, to which Ireland shouting "Celtic magic!" holds out the clover he found instead of the old one from "French fries". Belarus, in turn, repaired the Bulbathrower-3000, and Latvia's robot transformer was still a pile of scrap metal. Belarus gives Bulbathrower to Latvia, and him himself goes secretly and goes straight to a garden. Belarus sees huge potatoes and digs them up with a shovel. A huge Tyrannosaurus came out of the garden from potatoes. Belarus brings him to the meeting room and introduces Latvia and Ireland to Bulbosaurus Boris (Barys). Belarus shouts "Go, starch brothers" to which Latvia replies that the name is idiotic.

Latvia, Belarus and Ireland are riding Boris to the drilled city. Reichtangle pulls out another skyscraper and tears it apart. He throws all the balls into one half of the skyscraper, and then pushes both parts together, destroying everything. Suddenly, the Reich begins to shake. Boris grabbed the Reich with his mouth, Latvia shoots with the Bulbathrower, Ireland activates its clover. It turned out that their forces were negligible for the Reich. He began to raise the Starch Brotherhood, but he was distracted by a giant Colorado beetle who fled to Bulbasaurus Boris ran to the beetle, Belarus tried to stop him, but Latvia said that it was necessary to leave while the Reich was distracted.

Boris and the giant Colorado beetle run over each other. Boris pushed the beetle off his feet and ran into the wall of the house. It seemed that Boris had won, but the beetle took off into the air and jumped on the back of the bullbosaurus. Poor Boris started eating a beetle. The Starch Brotherhood (especially Belarus) was very upset by the loss of a friend. The first rebuff was failed, the brotherhood left to think about a new plan.

In the evening, Austria establishes a new religion - Reichianism, which, according to him, "for the glory of the great Reich, in order to appease his thirst for blood." Austria was supported by many countries, all of them came to Reichtangle and asked what their new lord wanted. Reichtangle said with his low goal "I want Poland..." Everyone looked at Poland and began to approach it slowly. Poland was scared, but a running Colorado beetle hits the building and blocks fall on Poland, killing it. All countries are shocked. At the very end of the series, they looked at the Reich, who said "I want to destroy you all..."

Many countries were in a skyscraper and were killed by the Reichtangle.

Interesting Facts

 * In this episode, there are weapons that were used by Belarus, Latvia and Ireland in the battle with each other from "French fries". Ireland has found a new magic clover. Belarus repaired his Bulbathrower-3000 (later gave it to Latvia), but Latvia's robot was shown only a pile of scrap metal.
 * When Belarus dug up Boris, you can see a broken building in the distance. *Perhaps this is an exploded nuclear power plant, which explains the appearance of Bulbosaurus Boris and the giant Colorado beetle, as well as a sign banning radiation in the main hall of the Brotherhood.
 * This is the first episode where Reichtangle speaks. Interestingly, he's talking without a mouth.
 * As the author said, after the giant Colorado beetle began to eat Bulbosaurus Boris, he wanted to add music from the popular meme "DIMON!", but decided to abandon this idea.
 * Boris' roar was taken from the film Jurassic Park.
 * This is the third video on the channel where Artyom changed his preview. The first being "History of Belarus" and the second being "Brotherhood". Earlier on the preview there were the Starch Brotherhood's weapons (clover, Bulbathrower-3000 and Bulbosaurus Boris) on a black background, painted in white. At the moment, the preview depicts from left to right white silhouettes of Bulbosaurus Boris, Austria with a cap in the shape of Reichtangle and Latvia with a Bulbathrower.
 * A fragment from this series was previously shown in the issue "The Worst Nightmare of Belarus"

Easter eggs

 * At 1:54 on the wall of the rabe building on the left there is a cipher: 18-16-21-14-4-15-12-11-18-14. When decrypting, you must first enter this combination in the A1Z26 cipher, and then copy the resulting decryption to Caesar's cipher. *When deciphering, you'll get: "OMSK IS CLOSE."
 * Many fans asked Artyom a question about the origin of the giant Colorado beetle. On another stream, Artyom said that there is a scene with his origin in the episode. When Belarus dug Boris out, on the rightmost bush there was an ordinary Colorado beetle, which then fell off the bush and began to grow in front of his eyes.
