Chapter 726: The End of the World in 2012

It is very difficult for China to feed its 1.4 billion people, and it has to buy a lot of food from the outside world, so in the past, countries such as Europe and the United States blamed China for the world food crisis. www.biquge.info Today, the population of the Williams Empire is more than 1.5 billion, and the vast majority of them have taken genetic evolution drugs, and the amount of food they eat is almost twice that of ordinary people! To feed so many people, the amount of food needed is absolutely unimaginably astronomical!

Fortunately, the Sahara Desert Reconstruction Project is now going very well and a lot of food is being provided. At the same time, the establishment of a huge offshore distant-water fishing fleet has greatly relieved the pressure on food. In addition, the Williams Empire has further strengthened the development of marine resources!

As everyone knows, in the vast and rich ocean, in addition to all kinds of animals living there, there are also a wide variety of marine plants! Plants on the bottom of the sea are the "fertile grasslands" of the marine world, and they are not only the natural "pastures" of marine fish, shrimps, crabs, shellfish, sea beasts, and other animals, but also the green food of human beings, and also the providers of industrial raw materials and agricultural fertilizers for a wide range of purposes, as well as important raw materials for the manufacture of marine medicines. Among them, kelp is a seafood that Chinese people like to eat very much, and everyone must be very familiar with kelp. It is not only full of seafood, but also rich in nutrients, containing iodine and other minerals and vitamins, which can prevent and treat thyroid (commonly known as big neck) disease. In addition, seaweeds with edible and medicinal properties include well-known seaweed, wakame, cauliflower, and so on.

The people of Eastern countries such as China and Japan have a very long history of eating seaweed and using seaweed in medicine, and there is also a record of British seafarers using red algae to prevent and treat scurvy. In addition, the Irish people have historically relied on red and green algae to survive famine years. At present, in order to solve the food problem, the Williams Empire encourages everyone to eat more seaweed, preferably as common as Americans and British people eat tomatoes!

People often say that "relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and relying on the water to eat the water." The Williams Empire is located in the Indian Ocean and has a natural geographical advantage, so of course it is necessary to eat the "Indian Ocean"! Henry hopes that in the future, more than half of the food will be obtained from the ocean, and the huge marine resources are simply endless, and only a very small part of the resources that human beings can use at present account for a very small part, and its development potential is incomparably great!

In addition, there is another continent located in the south of the Williams Empire -- Antarctica, which is a virgin land that urgently needs to be reclaimed! However, it is limited by the "Antarctic Treaty" and prohibits any country from occupying Antarctica, otherwise, the flag of the Williams Empire will definitely be planted on it and declare sovereignty! Although it is bound by the "Antarctic Treaty," it does not prevent the Williams Empire from establishing a base or city there.

Antarctica is rich in natural resources, but its extreme environment is prohibitive for countries around the world. However, this is exactly a challenge for the Williams empire!!

Deserts and glaciers are extreme environments, and the environment on Mars is even worse than that! If neither the Sahara Desert nor Antarctica can be modified, how can Mars be modified?!

By the end of 2011, the Williams Empire had 45 bases in Antarctica, the largest of any country!

Williams Palace.

Villette brought the year's GDP report, and Henry was shocked when he looked at the data. In 2011, the GDP of the Williams empire reached $31.5 trillion, compared to the $12 trillion GDP of the United States this year, which is almost no different from hanging!

Of course, there are many reasons why the Williams Empire is so strong, especially the extra bonus provisions of the Williams Red Card have caused the Williams Empire's economy to develop explosively, and the American economy has been hit hard because of this, and even many Americans have immigrated directly to the Williams Empire, taking away a lot of wealth!

In the first half of the last century, with the advent of the automobile industry, Detroit developed at an astonishing rate, and was once the fourth largest city in the United States, and is also known as the world's "automobile city", with the highest per capita income in the country! Detroit, with a population of 1.8 million in 1950, now has only 700,000 people, and thousands of abandoned buildings, vacant land, and dark streets.

Detroit, once the bustling city of the U.S. auto industry, is now a ghost town. A local resident told The New York Times: "Detroit is not a city anymore, it is gone." ”

In fact, it is not Detroit that has disappeared, but the manufacturing industry in the United States!!

In the early 50s of the 20th century, its manufacturing added value accounted for about 40% of the world's total, and the products labeled "Made in the United States" were sold overseas, establishing an unshakable position in the world. But after entering the 21st century, the status of the United States as the "world's manufacturing factory" has gradually been replaced by China, and now it is going to be replaced by the Williams Empire, and the United States' voice in the field of manufacturing has weakened year by year, especially after the outbreak of the financial crisis, the world's share of the United States' manufacturing output value has fallen to 8.5%, which has seriously affected the number of American jobs and economic recovery.

Henry put down the GDP statement and said with a smile: "The United States is making a fool of itself now, the GDP is not more than half of our Williams empire, hehe......"

"Yes, Your Majesty, our Williams Empire is now the most powerful country in the world!!" Willett said proudly.

"The year 2012 is coming, didn't someone say before that the ancient Mayan civilization predicted that the end of the world would break out this year? If you want me to see, the end of the world may not be, but the end of the United States is possible!" Henry smiled meaningfully and said, "The specific time is December 21, 2012!"

"Yes, Your Majesty. Willie nodded in reply.

"Very well, just that day to start a war against the United States, to destroy the position of the United States in the !!world in one fell swoop," Henry snapped his fingers and said with a final word.
