Chapter 482: The World Situation in 1929 (Part I)


s: The map has been updated, in the post bar March 20, 1929, 2770 AD, Hanking.

Today, Brazil and Argentina officially signed a peace treaty, and the all-out war in South America that lasted for more than two years has finally ended.

The biggest winners in this all-out South American war are Colombia, Chile and Paraguay, who have all annexed territory close to or larger than their own land area.

The biggest losers are Venezuela, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador and Uruguay, who have disappeared as a country.

It’s hard to say whether it will be revived in the future, at least it no longer exists.

Although Brazil and Argentina finally carved up Uruguay, their losses were so shocking that they would not be able to recover for at least ten years.

The economic losses caused by this melee are difficult to estimate, but the most intuitive thing is the huge population reduction.

The current population situation of each country is as follows.

Before the start of the "American Cup", Brazil's population was 28 million, and now it is 23 million; Argentina's pre-war population was 11 million, and now it is 9 million.

Uruguay's pre-war population was 1.58 million, but by the end of the war there were only 50,000.

Now it is divided between Brazil and Argentina, and its population has been included in the two countries.

The pre-war population of Colombia was 7.24 million, Venezuela had 3.2 million, and Ecuador had 1.9 million.

The total of these three countries was 12.34 million.

But now that Colombia has annexed Venezuela and Ecuador, the population is only 9.8 million.

As for the other group of countries fighting each other, the pre-war populations were: Peru 5.3 million, Chile 4.5 million, Bolivia 2.3 million, Paraguay 850,000, and the total population of the four countries was 12.95 million.

Now that Chile has annexed Peru and divided Bolivia with Paraguay, Chile has a population of 7.8 million and Paraguay has a population of 1.4 million.

The combined population of the two countries is 9.2 million.

The total population of the above countries has dropped from 66 million to less than 51 million now, a decrease of 23.

The number of deaths is 15 million, and about 4 million people are seriously injured and disabled.

Although the total number of casualties was not high, the proportion far exceeded that of World War I.

There are three main reasons why there is such a large proportion of casualty data.

The first is that both warring parties have no moral integrity.

If you get a red eye, you will act haphazardly, and there is no sense of discipline at all.

During the First World War, although the gangsters also fought fiercely, using poison gas and strategic bombing, they still wanted to save face, at least they did not directly target civilians.

When these South American countries fight, they don't follow these rules at all.

Their aircraft and cannons are dedicated to bombing each other's residential areas, and poison gas bombs are used without scruples.

They even send special teams to burn down the opponent's wheat fields that are about to be harvested.

The other party's material warehouses, towns, etc.

The second reason is the famine and plague caused by this.

Brazil and Colombia both happened last year, while severe plague broke out in Chile and Argentina, with the death toll exceeding 100,000.

The third reason is immigration.

Some people in South America immigrated to escape the war.

Among them, Brazil and Venezuela are the most popular.

Originally, the United States immigrated 3 million black people from Brazil to Africa.

When the war broke out, a large number of refugees poured into the neighboring state of Guyana.

The United States is not Lei Feng, so of course it is not willing to raise these refugees in vain, so it asks these refugees to answer a multiple-choice question at gunpoint and cannon point. a: Go back to where you came from. b: Immigrate to heaven. c: Immigrate to Africa.

There’s nothing to say.

Most people chose “c: immigrate to Africa.”.

There are still a few people who can't leave their hometown and chose "A: Go back to where you came from."

As for those who chose B, first ask, did he take the wrong medicine or drink too much today?

Didn't his head get caught in the door panel or get wet?

There may be some weird ones, but definitely not many.

At this time, in a high-end teahouse called "Purple Sky Tower" on the North Second Ring Road in Hanjing, "Li Kuaizui" Li Kan, one of the five most famous "news commentators" in Hanking, was telling tea guests about South America. total war.

This "news commentator" is a new thing that only appeared after the rise of the Socialist Party of Science and Technology.

In the years before and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, due to the low literacy rate in the country, Wen Desi wanted to enlighten people's wisdom and open their eyes to the world, and also to firmly occupy the propaganda position.

We organize storytellers, and after unified training, let them explain news and current affairs, Chinese and foreign history, modern military warfare, various scientific knowledge and common sense of daily life, and of course the most important indoctrination.

After giving it a try, I found that this kind of educational and entertaining effect is very good, and everyone, both the government and the people, said it was good.

Especially among the people, it is even more popular, especially the few famous speakers who give talks on radio stations.

They are all big-name superstars with tens of millions of fans.

Even after television and radio became popularized, and under the compulsory literacy system, China's illiteracy rate was so low that it could be ignored, the popularity of this magically modified storyteller not only did not decrease, but became even higher.

Accordingly, the business of the teahouse is getting better and better, and now the teahouse has become a club-like thing.

This is normal.

Listening to or watching the news by yourself at home is definitely not as enjoyable as listening to someone explain it live and bragging and spanking in a teahouse with a group of acquaintances.

Besides, regular news programs are very brief, often finished in just a few sentences, which doesn’t sound satisfying.

As a result, this modernized version of the storyteller became a formal profession.

In 1918, it was officially named "news commentator", and a professional qualification certificate, professional title promotion system, etc. were also established.

This "Li Kuaizui" is also a senior commentator with countless fans and one of the five famous mouthpieces in Hanking.

His net worth is very high, and only a wealthy high-end teahouse like "Purple Sky Tower" can afford it.

"Pah!"

Li Kuaishou slapped the gavel and said: "This review of the South American War has come to an end.

If you want to hear more about the aftermath, please listen to the breakdown next time."

Then he bowed to the tea guests and left the stage amidst warm applause.

Next is the time for free discussion among the teahouses, or bragging time.

After listening to the on-site comments, a tea guest who was as fat as a ball couldn't help but exclaimed: "Hey, why are these South Americans so ruthless in fighting?

On average, one in five people dies."

This guy is wearing a handmade modern improved version of Hanfu.

At least half of the tea guests in the hall are wearing this kind of modern Hanfu, and the other half are wearing modern casual clothes.

This kind of modern Hanfu that is now popular in China is also the result of President Wen's intervention.

After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, Hanfu became popular all over the country.

However, because the styles are not uniform, they range from the Zhou Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty.

It's like multiple time and space overlaps.

When I walk on the street, I can see that they are all time travellers, wearing the ancient ones and the modern ones.

Wen Desi felt that this mash-up style was too outrageous.

We are not making a comedy, we should be more serious.

In order to make his eyes better, he issued an order to redesign Hanfu to suit modern society.

Madman Zhang, who was in charge of the Ministry of Culture, immediately took action.

He found a group of fashion designers and art experts, and then brought in those "domestic masters" and "wild masters" as consultants, and quickly redesigned a whole set of unified styles with the power of the country.

The new era of Hanfu and promote it.

After doing this, those "travelers who randomly opened the time and space door" stopped again, the style became unified, and Mr.

Wen's eyes felt better.

The Hanfu worn by these people are ordinary clothes.

Compared with the previous Hanfu, they have been greatly improved and have many modern elements to make them easier to move and wear.

The fat man is wearing a robe in ordinary clothes.

Although it does not look very eye-catching, a knowledgeable person will understand at a glance that the texture of high-grade silk, exquisite workmanship, the jade pendant around his waist and the emerald on his belt are all obvious at a glance.

Top quality.

This kind of wealth cannot be purchased without thousands of dollars.

However, in this high-end teahouse, this level of clothing is only considered "okay".

There are many tea guests around who are better dressed than him.

Those who can be regular customers here are all wealthy, and they are also the lucky ones who have made a fortune relying on New China's policies, technology, and international influence.

Therefore, this group of people are the most supportive of New China.

They are all Mr.

Wen’s crazy fan.

For example, this fat man named Shen Wenlong made his fortune in the passenger transport industry after the founding of the People's Republic of China.

Now his passenger transport companies have opened overseas.

Now that the business has grown, the headquarters has also been moved to Hanking.

According to him, it can "bake in the dragon's spirit" here, and the business will definitely be better.

Because Wen Desi had been to this Ziyun Building several times in the past few years, the place became famous, and its popularity suddenly skyrocketed.

This guy Shen Minlong regards this place as his base.

He comes here every day when he is free, and so do the other crazy fans.

Fatty Shen's words resonated a lot.

Everyone thought that this South American was out of his mind and could just let it go, but he actually played so hard.

"Brother Shen doesn't know something."

At this time, the mustachioed tea guest said with a smile: "This is the custom of the South Americans.

If you don't fight, you will fight to death.

In the Paraguayan War 60 years ago, the people of Paraguay Fully 40% are dead, and almost all the men are dead.”

Fatty Shen wondered: "Brother Zhou, why is this?"

He recognized this fat man with a mustache named Zhou.

This guy now opened a medicinal materials company, producing various modern Chinese medicine products and patent medicines, specializing in exporting to foreign countries.

Although this guy looks like a dog now, I heard that this guy used to be a herbalist.

He didn't even have enough to eat.

His son could hardly survive and he was in trouble.

But this guy had a good life and met a noble person when he was at his lowest.

When Mr.

Wen's Xingke Pharmaceutical launched later generations of Chinese patent medicines, it was collectively boycotted by most of the herbal medicine shops and famous doctors at that time.

Dr.

Zhou was one of the few who supported Xingke Pharmaceutical, even though he was just a small role at the time.

No matter what Dr.

Zhou thought at the time, he made the right move anyway.

With the support of Xingke Pharmaceutical, his business is getting better and better and bigger.

By 1915, he used the accumulated capital and the technology and equipment provided by Xingke to open a pharmaceutical company of his own, specializing in the production of traditional Chinese medicine products using modern industry.

As the influence of Chinese medicine in the world expands, China's pharmaceutical industry has also developed.

In particular, traditional Chinese medicine, which was previously regarded as a symbol of backwardness, became brilliant again after being modernized and improved by experts under Mr.

Wen, and Dr.

Zhou's profession became prosperous.

Later, during the Spanish Flu, he and his colleagues became weak after making money from foreigners.

"Their breeds are like this and cannot be changed."

Doctor Zhou shook his head and said with contempt: "The ancestors of these South Americans are either Spaniards, Portuguese, or Indians.

The Spaniards and Portuguese are both murderous.

Huge people, even though they have no sense of existence, it was a big deal during the Age of Discovery.

They were killing people wherever they went, and people in many places were wiped out by them. " "What about the Indians?

Didn't they say they were killed all the time?"

"Don't think they are good birds even if they are killed by white-skinned people.

These people are not good at fighting abroad.

They are all in the same nest.

They are never merciless in killing their own people.

They take no prisoners in the civil war.

They always take no prisoners.

All the enemies they capture will be sacrificed to their evil gods."

Langzhong Zhou smiled: "Hahaha, the South Americans today are all descendants of these killer stars, do you think they can still fight ruthlessly?"

"Hey, yes, yes, that's right.

Brother Zhou is so right."

Everyone agreed.

A skinny tea guest wearing glasses said with a look of envy and hatred: "However, this South American war has also benefited the three countries of Chile, Colombia and Paraguay, and their territory has more than doubled.

Like that Chile , annexed Peru and most of Bolivia, and its territory increased from less than 760,000 square kilometers to 2.77 million square kilometers, more than twice as much.

Colombia was not bad either, annexing Venezuela.

With Ecuador, the area has more than doubled from 1.14 million square kilometers to 2.34 million.

However, the most fortunate is Paraguay.

This small country only had 340,000 square kilometers before the war, but it was still being beaten by the surroundings.

But now we are with the right person.

Thanks to Chile’s strength, in the past two years, the country’s territory has expanded to 777,400 square kilometers, which has more than doubled.

Tell me, why is this business so profitable?”

Shen Wenlong said disdainfully: "They are making a lot of money, but don't look at how many people they have died.

They are all caused by human lives.

This business is very profitable, but this business not only requires collecting money, but also collecting lives." " "Tch, after five thousand years, the Three Sovereigns and the Five Emperors, until now, there are no immortals who have opened up the territory.

Only 20% of the people have died, and the territory has more than doubled.

How can this deal be uneconomical?"

the thin tea guest said disapprovingly.

This guy is also an acquaintance.

He is the owner of a hardware company.

His surname is Chen.

It is said that he used to be a hunter.

Shen Wenlong glanced at him as if he were looking at a pile of garbage.

Said: "Old Chen, you are wrong.

How could there be no such thing?

Isn't that the same as our President Wen?

Have we not won a lot of territory over the years without any bloodshed?"

"Uh, this, this," Lao Chen was speechless for a moment, hesitating for a long time, and then stammered: "That's different, Mr.

Wen is different, Mr.

Wen is different anyway."

"Hahahaha" everyone laughed.

"I won't say it before, this time the British guys will just obediently hand over the territory with both hands," Fatty Shen said proudly. s: It’s the end of the month.
