Chapter 101: Political Commissar Guo’s iron ambition "I remember that when I was just born, the world's population was only five billion.
But at that time, the global public opinion media was already full of voices exclaiming that the population was exploding and the earth was overwhelmed.
But today, the world's total population is The population has reached 9 billion, and will probably exceed 10 billion in a few years.
Due to technological advancement, the average energy and material consumption per person has also increased a lot compared to fifty years ago."
At the disheveled seaside food stall table, Political Commissar Guo drank raspberry wine leisurely while talking to Levi, "Especially in black Africa south of the Sahara Desert, which only had 200 million people during World War II.
Only half of China’s population.
Even in the 1980s, there were only 400 million people in Africa.
The population has increased tenfold from World War II to 2 billion.
Then there is Bangladesh, which is only a small piece of land like the Ganges Delta.
There are actually 250 million people crammed into it, as well as Pakistan and the Middle East.
Like North Africa, the population is booming.
Not to mention India has surpassed China and become the world's most populous country for many years.
So, the question becomes, with humanity’s current technological strength and productivity level, can the earth support such a large population?
I have conducted a long period of investigation and research around this issue, and the final conclusion is: Unfortunately, although the scientific and technological level has barely been reached, due to the political and economic system and racial divisions, all mankind is destined to be unable to work together to achieve the goal.
Have a wonderful tomorrow.
Many years ago, I followed a Chinese volunteer medical team to Africa to fight against the Ebola epidemic, and I saw with my own eyes how incredible that place looked.
Can you imagine that a big city with a million people living together does not have a sewer, and the floods in the rainy season are mixed with sewage flowing across the streets.
With a population of more than six million, there are only more than a hundred poorly qualified doctors and six ambulances in the country.
Tens of thousands of people die every year due to malaria and cholera.
Before the arrival of the Chinese medical team, half of the local doctors had died and half had fled, leaving the hospital full of patients.
The so-called local nurses can't even draw blood, and they don't obey the instructions of the medical team at all.
They refuse to save their compatriots.
They only know how to go on strike and ask for wages.
If they don't take the opportunity of the Ebola outbreak to cause a scene, Now, their back wages will be even more difficult to get back.
This is the social landscape of the African country Sierra Leone.
Although many people died due to Ebola during that period, more people died due to riots and suppression than from Ebola.
Over the years, I heard that a civil war has broken out there again, and the situation has not gotten better, but has gotten worse.
What's even more terrible is that despite the civil war and the plague, the population in their black Africa is still rising against the trend, rather than decreasing.
Moreover, Sierra Leone is only a small country after all, and it is far from the place with the most severe demographic crisis in Africa.
As far as I know, the most shocking place about this problem is Lagos, the capital of Nigeria.
The total area is only 3,600 square kilometers, of which 20% is still water, but the population living in Lagos is As high as 35 million, both the total population and the population density are higher than our Shanghai.
But Lagos is not an industrial and commercial metropolis like Shanghai.
There are no viaducts and small high-rise apartments like Shanghai, only shabby slums in the slums.
There is no running water, no electricity, and no public facilities Transportation and sewers, and there are no jobs.
Among the 35 million people in Lagos, there are only two to three million people engaged in foreign trade, petroleum, administration and other occupations.
They can receive a fixed salary every month, and there are hundreds more.
Thousands of people serve those in front, living their lives , as for the remaining 20 million black people?
To be honest, I can’t understand how they survive in the city.
I speculate that they may be like Sanmao in Sanmao’s Wanderings, begging and picking up.
Those who pick up garbage, those who peel off bark from trees.”
"Well, this does sound quite pitiful, but so what?
Africans have always lived like this, haven't they?"
Li Wei shrugged his shoulders without sympathy, "In old China before liberation, the lives of ordinary people might have been worse than them."
"The problem is that even these days are almost unbearable for Nigerians, while their population continues to grow."
Political Commissar Guo explained, "No matter how bleak the old China was during the Republic of China, it was still an agricultural country.

But Nigeria and many African countries were not even qualified as agricultural countries and had to rely on the United States or Argentina to provide food. " "Well, is it because the land there is too poor and not suitable for farming?"
Levi said with a frown.
"On the contrary, Nigeria occupies the best quality arable land on the planet.
The country's total area is 920,000 square kilometers, and the cultivable land accounts for 65%.
After excluding cities, rivers, and protected areas, the remaining arable land is about There are about 600 million acres of arable land in China.
The average area is 1.8 billion acres.
Nigeria’s cultivated land area is roughly equivalent to one-third of China’s.
Due to its tropical climate, crops grow quickly and can reach three or even four or five crops a year, so Nigeria can theoretically support it.
The maximum population can reach about half of China.”
Political Commissar Guo spread his hands, "But the problem is, how can I say that Africans' farming methods are too rough?
Just get some seeds, then take a sharp-nosed hoe, dig a hole and throw the seeds in.
Some of the laziest ones Black people don't even bother to dig holes, they just throw them into the wild and finish the work.
The land in Africa does not need to be plowed.
The soil is very soft without plowing, so a year's farm work can be done in just one week.
In places like Congo and Cameroon, many wild fields that look overgrown on the roadside are probably actually farmland on which local people depend for survival, but they are grown in this way.
With Africa's unique natural environment, you can actually get good harvests.
For example, many of the annual crops we know will become perennial plants on the land of Africa, growing endlessly due to the tropical climate.
China State Construction Engineering Corporation once went to Cameroon to carry out work and brought some cucumbers there and planted them next to the station.
As a result, without much fertilization, the cucumbers grew as big as winter melons, and they could be harvested for several years after planting them once.
There are also peppers.
In tropical Africa, they have grown into pepper trees, which are five meters high.
They have not finished picking them for three consecutive years.
After the Chinese construction team left, the local black people could continue to harvest potatoes.
What was even better was the potatoes.
At first, they only planted a few.
After a few years, they automatically turned into a potato field larger than the square, without the need for manual labor.
Doing transplanting or something?”
"Since the land in Africa is so fertile, why can't we be self-sufficient in food?"
Levi asked strangely.
"The problem is that just because the natural conditions are so good, black people have been raised to be lazy.
They have no concept of hard work, no awareness of savings, and no understanding of what it means to be prepared for danger in times of peace.
The ancient Chinese did not farm for a year or had no harvest.
They had to starve to death.
There were so many berries and nuts in the African tropical rainforest that they could get by without any harvest.
Therefore, black Africans have not had the habit of storing food since ancient times.
There is food everywhere in the woods anyway, so why eat stale food?
As a result, agricultural technology has never progressed, and it is even behind the slash-and-burn cultivation of China's pre-Qin era.
Any motivation for improvement.
Even the most advanced agricultural civilization in Black Africa, according to Chinese standards, the farmers there are just as lazy.
They can plant crops for three seasons, but they are too lazy to plant more crops for one season, because growing crops for one season is enough for food. , and there are still extras that can be sold to the city to exchange for some pocket money, so why bother working hard anymore?
Wouldn’t it be more comfortable to bask in the sun and brag about the girls?
And the same goes for black people in the city.
In Europe, the Greeks and Spaniards have always had a reputation for laziness.
But if compared with black people in Africa, even the Greeks who only work from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. every day are already considered model workers.
Those black people all demand a daily wage system.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
A day's work and a day's play are considered diligent, and a day's work is regarded as hard work.
Playing for three days is normal, playing for one day and for a week is considered lazy.
The monthly salary system makes it impossible to recruit people.
However, although tropical Africa is rich in food, it is not suitable for growing wheat, rice and corn.
Well, it may be that the technology of black farmers is too poor to use.
Although the fruits and tubers of the tropical rainforest are rich in nutrients, they are difficult to store for a long time like rice flour.
Therefore, Nigeria obviously has 600 million acres of arable land with at least three crops a year, but it actually imports nearly 10 million tons of wheat and corn from the United States every year to supply emerging large cities such as Lagos, and the cost of purchasing grains is Rely on oil, minerals and so on.
Then, because black people have no sense of saving since ancient times, and most African countries have not maintained strategic grain reserves.
As a result, when international food prices fluctuate, or financial resources dry up and they have no money to import food from the Americas, the black people in the countryside in their tropical rainforests have a better life.
You can live your life how you want, but the black people in the city who don't farm immediately starve everywhere. " Professor Guo said, "It is not that politicians in black Africa have not considered this issue, but on the one hand, the United States has always been dumping food in Africa.
Everyone knows that the three major world strategies of the United States are oil strategy, dollar strategy, and food strategy. .
Because the politics of African countries are not independent enough, they cannot withstand the United States.
Due to the pressure of grain dumping from China, African countries usually cannot compete with imported grains by growing their own grains, and they cannot afford agricultural subsidies.
On the other hand, modern agriculture is no longer just a simple matter of digging the ground and throwing seeds.
Systematic breeding, agricultural machinery, agricultural chemicals and other major industries, as well as dozens of Secondary industries.
Most countries in black Africa do not have decent steel plants and cannot manufacture complex agricultural tools on their own; they do not have modern chemical plants and cannot manufacture pesticides and fertilizers; their education rate is too low, and their illiteracy rate is even higher than that of old China.
Much higher, agricultural technicians are almost zero, and it is impossible to establish one's own large-scale breeding farms. without the support of heavy industry, it cannot manufacture agricultural vehicles and tractors, water pumps and irrigation pipes; it lacks its own cement industry, so almost all irrigation canals in Africa are mud canals, which will burst once it rains heavily; light industry is also extremely It is underdeveloped, so even the sprayers for spraying pesticides must be imported.
All in all, modern agriculture is linked to modern industry and cannot be separated from each other.
To build industry in backward countries, capital must be squeezed from agriculture before it can feed back to agriculture.
This relationship is somewhat similar to that of flowers and bees.
Flowers need bees for pollination to thrive, and bees need nectar to survive.
If Africans want to engage in modern agriculture like those in China, the United States and Europe, they must first establish a complete industrial system However, with the two industrial giants China and the United States crushing the world, it is almost impossible for African countries to develop industry.
What's more, with the lazy nature and hedonistic concept of black Africans, if they really want to be like Like the Chinese in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, they squeezed out large sums of money to build industry at all costs and implemented family planning to limit the population.
African politicians who dare to do such nonsense will definitely be driven out of office by the intolerable people.
Moreover, the European and American Western powers will also support agents to carry out destruction, and even we Chinese will take part in it.
Let’s put it this way, if industrialization in old China was about as difficult as the universe, industrialization in black Africa would be at least as difficult as the universe, because even the language and characters had to be unified from scratch.
As for making up lessons on ideas and concepts, , which can make any teacher despair.
Therefore, although after full development and utilization using modern technology, the vast fertile soil of black Africa is enough to feed two billion or even three billion people, due to various objective conditions, Africans can still only sit on so much.
Fertile land, but unable to develop modern agriculture on a large scale.
Just like the Indians in the Age of Discovery, they could not rely on the rich resources of the American continent to resist white invasion.
At present, black Africans can still survive by importing food from the West.
Once Western agricultural countries such as the United States and Argentina stop exporting cheap food, or the African population further expands and cannot even afford to purchase minimum rations, then A mass death event that far exceeds the scale of the Rwandan genocide will happen in Africa in an instant, either by suicide or homicide."
“In addition to the exponential growth of Africa’s population in the past few decades, which is almost a rhythm of two, two, three, and three, there are also countries in the Middle East and South Asia such as Egypt, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq, and India. , the population growth rate is also crazy, and it has reached the point where even the US military bombs can't stop it.
Generally speaking, the situation of the Arabs is more miserable than that of the blacks, because if the blacks' land works hard or gets technical support from a certain power, they can still grow some food before they starve to death, while the Arabs' land and Water resources have long been exploited to their limits.
No matter how modern industrial and agricultural technology is introduced, it will not be possible to do better than now.
Since the beginning of the 21st century, Middle Eastern countries have relied solely on exporting oil and importing food to support their increasingly expanding population bomb.
The situation in the South Asian subcontinent is not much better, and due to their lack of oil, most Indians and Pakistanis are not as good as Arabs.
According to the Chinese view, civil war should have started long ago.
But out of human instinct to reproduce, they are still giving birth to children as hard as they can, regardless of whether their country can support them.
As for the education of the children, there is no consideration at all.
Anyway, the children should be born first, and then it will be the business of future generations.
When we Chinese want to have children now, we basically have to consider whether we can afford to send our children to college.
We hope that our offspring will live a better life than ourselves.
If we cannot, we would rather have fewer children.
However, countries in South Asia, the Middle East and Africa do not consider this kind of thing at all.

Children are born in groups of ten or eight.
Because their families are poor, they do not go to school and go directly to work when they are young.
As a result, the illiteracy rate is higher than in the colonial era. .
Such an illiterate population who know nothing about anything cannot actually be regarded as a labor force in a modern society with advanced technology.
They have even been expelled from the ranks of workers.
At best, they are on a level similar to that of animals.
In the world trade order dominated by industrial countries, there is no need for these low-quality people.
For highly automated modern manufacturing, it is far cheaper to upgrade software and update robots than to feed and train these illiterate people with no sense of discipline.
As long as automation technology continues to advance, developed countries will not hinder economic growth even if their population stagnates.
At most, they will selectively accept some smart students from the third world.
As for the remaining billions of low-quality people who cannot engage in modern industry or modern agriculture, from the perspective of social productivity, they are simply redundant.
They are no different from the disabled.
They rely entirely on the kindness and kindness of others.
Charity makes a living.
However, both the kindness of people and the amount of surplus agricultural products in the world, specifically the cheap food available for sale on the international market, are limited within a certain period of time.
Once a certain threshold is exceeded, these excess populations are destined to be automatically eliminated and destroyed.
Just like the three-hundred-year cycle law that ancient Chinese feudal dynasties could never break through, when technological progress stagnated and land expansion stopped, the population that a civilization system can support is always limited.
When the limit is reached, wars and massacres will automatically begin.
Waiting for the depopulation process.
In the same way, on today's earth, although technological progress has not stagnated, land expansion has stopped.
Human beings only have one earth.
Moreover, technological progress cannot benefit the whole world due to political factors, and the allocation of various resources cannot achieve the optimal allocation with the goal of feeding the largest population due to the division of national boundaries and the flaws of the capitalist system.
As a result, the earth can carry The population limit falls further.
In this case, in order to restore human society to the "natural state", these overloaded poor people in the third world will be the first to lose the right to survive.
Their destiny includes famine, war, plague, massacre, and ecological collapse.
After seven or eight years of fighting before and after World War II, only 100 million people died.
Once the population collapse of the earth occurs, it is natural for billions of people to die a year.
The Rwanda massacre is a clear example.
Under the right conditions, the killing efficiency of rubber tappers and mountain axes is no more than that of atomic bombs and aircraft carrier battle groups.
Difference" Listening to Professor Guo's terrifying speculation, Levi's face turned pale, but he still retorted, "Even if the future prospects of Africa, the Middle East and South Asia are very scary, what does this have to do with us Chinese?"
Even if Africans, Arabs and Indians starve to death by the thousands or kill each other until rivers of blood flow, our country should not be affected at all.
They can’t defeat it.”
"Hey, one billion or two billion people died on the earth in one breath.
You actually think that this has nothing to do with China.
You are so superficial.
Today's earth is no longer the ancient situation where various continents have never interacted with each other.
Do you understand what a global village is?
Do you mean?"
Professor Guo drank a small glass of wine again, shook his head and smiled, "When hunger, turmoil and destruction come, do you think that the low-quality people in the third world who have been eliminated will stay at home and wait to be hacked to death or killed?"
Starve to death instead of flocking to other parts of the world to find a way out?"
