Text Chapter 607 Next Rhodesia
Yang Meng was lying on the hotel bed, drinking mineral water: "Why is this like this?
Xiao Peng said: "This drought has lasted for several years, but it has not affected the water supply, so I didn't expect to be able to stop the water in the whole city, in fact, when the water crisis intensified last year, you can see Ni Duan: at that time, when it was time to prepare for a possible drought, the mayor and the city councillors here were in trouble because of financial problems, and finally the mayor's position was weakened and could not participate in the water crisis treatment, as a result, the water crisis appeared, and they were all dumbfounded." At least half of Cape Town's water shortage is due to man-made reasons! Hey, why don't you try it? The fried corn and grilled salmon here are delicious!"
Yang Meng jumped up from the bed and directly took a piece of grilled salmon and put it in his mouth: "This is really good." Hey, you've been saying that Fei Nan has played himself badly, what the hell is going on?"
Xiao Peng picked up his wine glass unhurriedly and took a sip of red wine: "Dude, what is your impression of Feinan?"
"Grandpa Mann and apartheid. Yang Meng said two words without hesitation: "I heard that white people are being bullied here now? This is also deserved, who let you have nothing to do to rob the aborigines of the people?"
Xiao Peng interrupted Yang Meng's words: "Dude." The first thing you have to understand is that the non-Southern natives are not black, but yellow. ”
"What's the matter? yellow people?" he was stunned.
Xiao Peng nodded: "What do you think? Do you remember that there is an old series of Hong Kong films called "God is Crazy", oh, it is "African Monk" starring with Xing Ye and Wu Mengda? There are several ancient yellow people in Africa, like the actor Lisu, who is a Bushman from Namibia, and the indigenous people of South Africa are. Also yellow. ”
"HAT?" Yang Meng's eyes widened, "Is it the same as that over in Madagascar?"
Xiao Peng smiled: "The yellow people here are not as comfortable as the yellow people in Madagascar. You think of Africa as a big jujube pit, and the two pointed positions are what you imagine Africa to look like, what arid, desert, and the middle part is the rainforest, which is a fertile land, a good place to grow what to grow. To the north is the Sahara Desert, and to the south is the Namib Desert, and the Sahara Desert is generally inhabited by white people, such as Arabs and Berbers, and this yellow race lives in the Namib Desert. For example, the Bushmen, for example, the. ”
Yang Meng put down the fried corn in his hand, and when he heard Xiao Peng's words, he asked with a puzzled face: "Dude, don't you say that these yellow and white people are stupid? Why do they all live in the desert? I don't know how to live in a rich place?"
Xiao Peng glanced at Yang Meng: "They are stupid enough to be stupid over you? They ran into the desert to avoid the blacks! If your neighbors come to your house to rob money, people, and things, and you can't beat them, then can you move? It's not that they don't want to live in a rich place, but they really beat them." And such a desert area of the black people disdainfully come here to suffer. Therefore, the real aborigines of this non-southern region are the and not the blacks, and the so-called non-southern black movement is actually a false proposition in itself. ”
"Later, the Dutch, the 'sea coachmen', arrived here and assimilated the indigenous who were here at that time with an advanced civilization. These Dutchmen were called Boers, which means peasants. They turned it into a colony, occupied the Cape of Good Hope, and built the port of Cape Town. It was only after they had built it that the blacks moved south from the Cameroonian plateau and invaded Africa, slaughtering the and seizing agricultural land. ”
Yang Meng was puzzled after hearing this: "Then why is the black movement in an uproar?"
Xiao Peng asked rhetorically, "Do you know about the Anglo-Boer War?"
Looking at Yang Meng shaking his head, Xiao Peng explained: "It was the war between the Eagle Country and the Boer Republic, oh, at that time, the Eagle Country people were red at the Boer people's pioneering achievements in Feinan, which were both precious and golden, so they launched two wars with the Boers, and as a result, the Boers beat them twice, and the third time finally learned to be smart, the Eagle people relied on a large number of black mercenaries, and finally overthrew the Boer Republic and established the Eagle Country colony, after the war, the status of the black people was unprecedentedly high, and the Boers and the indigenous became inferior people. Later, due to the two world wars, the power of the Eagle Nation weakened, and the Boers regained local autonomy through parliamentary elections and resumed their rule. ”
After hearing this, Yang Meng suddenly realized: "Oh, I understand, they are back in power, in order to revenge the blacks for stabbing them back then, what kind of apartheid system was created!"
Xiao Peng shook his head again: "That's not right. The apartheid of the Boers actually refers to the 'tricameral system', they are politically divided into the Boer House, the Asian House and the Colored House, and the three houses are governed separately, the core idea is that the well water does not interfere with the river water, and supports the black people who do not have passports to build their own homes, and establishes settlements for them, which is to finally realize the separate establishment of the country for blacks and whites. ”
"Then decades have passed, and the Asian settlements have been integrated into the mainstream society, vigorously developing commerce and industry, and Africa has become a developed country, but the black settlements have become slums, and there is nothing to do with an explosion or a riot or something, oh, the 'Spear of the Nation' led by Grandpa Man should be regarded as the biggest terror-terror-organization in Africa, otherwise why do you think he was arrested? At that time, it was the CIA who helped to catch him, tsk, it felt like I later arrested bin Laden. It was the intercession of the Eagle Country that saved his life, otherwise he would have been sentenced to death. ”
"After Grandpa Man came out of prison, the black people in Africa found the backbone, after all, there are a large number of blacks here, and Grandpa Man became the president, to be honest, when he became president, the entire white people in South Africa trembled, because Grandpa Man only needed an order at that time, and it must have been a disaster. But he did not do this, but chose multi-ethnic integration and common development of Africa. Allowing the government to buy land from whites and return it to blacks protects the rights and interests of whites. It was for this that he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. ”
Yang Meng was puzzled: "Then if this is the case, this should be progress, Feinan should be getting stronger and stronger, why has it become like this now?"
Xiao Peng shrugged: "Dude, at that time, many black people could enter the government department without even knowing where the computer boot button was, do you think this situation was progress? Although Grandpa Man said that he bought land from white people, he really didn't buy much! Moreover, he promoted nationalization, and the law required all Boer and Asian business stores to have black shares, which touched the interests of so many people, and naturally it was a mess. How will the country develop? The current non-southern part of Africa is not as fast as it was 30 years ago. ”
"No wonder it is now said that the whites of Feinan are mixed up miserably. Yang Meng sighed.
Xiao Peng shook his finger again: "It's a miserable mix? Now the entire non-southern white population accounts for 9 percent of the total population, but they own 72 percent of the non-southern personal agricultural land! Otherwise, where does Kevin Richardson have the land to establish an animal sanctuary? The new president of the African South will have to speed up the process of redistributing land to the black citizens of the African South Africa." ”
"Is this going to do something again?" Yang Meng sighed after hearing this.
Xiao Peng nodded: "Being a farmer in Feinan now is a matter of life! From January to October last year, there were nearly 400 attacks on farmers, and the probability of farmers being killed was five times that of ordinary people! But if this problem is not seriously solved, Feinan may become the next Rhodesia." ”
"Rhodesia, is there such a country on earth?" Yang Meng scratched his head, he had never heard of it!
"It turns out that Africa is a very developed country, and the manufacturing, agriculture, and mining industries are all very good. Known as the 'bread basket of Africa', the food produced in this country fed half of Africa's hungry people, and later the blacks overthrew the white regime and took all the land in the hands of the whites to the blacks, and countless white farmers were forced to leave their land. Xiao Peng explained to Yang Meng. "Oh, the country has now changed its name and it's not called Rhodesia. It's called Zimbabwe. ”
"Zimbabwe, is that the place where the banknotes are worth as much as 100 trillion?" Yang Meng raised his voice after hearing this.
Xiao Peng nodded.
Many people in Zimbabwe have heard that Zimbabwe is now one of the poorest countries in the world, and how poor is the whole country? Huaxia can throw off a few streets of that country by taking out a third-tier city at will! A Tencent company is much richer than the country combined!
Who would have thought that he would still be so beautiful back then?
And the most talked-about thing about Zimbabwe is their currency, and the highest face value of Zimbabwean currency is 100 trillion! The 'zero' on it can make people half a day.
But Zimbabwe was really not like it is now, when the Zimbabwe dollar was even worth more than the US dollar, when they first became independent, the exchange rate between the Zimbabwe dollar and the US dollar was 1:1.47. But after their land reform, the economy completely collapsed. The government's finances could not make ends meet, so it began to print money------ but it still played with life.
This has led to the beginning of hyperinflation in Zimbabwe, and the amount of money is getting bigger and bigger, from the original face value of 100 or 1,000 to 100 million, 5 billion, 10 billion, and even up to 10 trillion!
Later, the Zimbabwean government ran out of money to print banknotes, so it stopped printing money altogether. What US dollars, pounds, yuan, francs, yen, euros and the like can be circulated in the market, there are a total of nine fiat currencies, which is very strange!
But this comparison system collapsed, but I didn't expect Zimbabwe's economy to rebound, I have to say, this is an extremely strange phenomenon.
But who would have thought that Zimbabwe, one of the poorest countries in the world, would be one of the best in Africa?
This is the country that really plays itself badly!
