It's an 'homage' to a piece of doggerel by Hilaire Belloc about subjugating Africans.
viz:
Whatever happens
We have got
The Maxim Gun
And they have not

Have political movements stopped producing great literary figures? I was just reading Hilaire Belloc, and while I disagree with basically everything he stands for, the Catholic literary revival can plausibly claim Belloc, Chesterton, Waugh, Tolkien, Lewis, Greene, Merton, Day, O'Connor...

happy bday French-born English writer Hilaire Belloc, b.1870.
“From quiet homes and first beginning,
Out to the undiscovered ends,
There's nothing worth the wear of winning,
But laughter and the love of friends.”
"It is the best of all trades, to make songs, and the second best to sing them."

belloc tells the officer that they're doing it bc it would be embarassing to them all if they open it in front of hitler and nothing happens. presumably the film was to be sent express to berlin. my take was that belloc intended to use the ark's power for himself and double-cross the nazis

a thing I had totally forgotten is how the nazis build a film set for the ark opening ritual, nobody even explains this in dialogue I don’t think and it makes the denouement all the funnier, belloc in his spirit halloween high priest garb and the nazis still in uniform

Per Hilaire Belloc in 1898, in mood just as grim and murderous (though nowhere near so scaled-up): “Whatever happens, we have got / the Maxim gun, and they have not.” 😡
One of Elon Musk's most cryptic posts says this: "Whatever happens, we have got the spaceships, and they do not."
We decode this here. It's a serious statement about the future he actually envisions:
