Chapter 513: Not Stupid (Part I)
"What else do you want to do? I used to think that being an actor was very glamorous, but when I saw the bosses of those film companies salivating and begging you, I also felt that making movies didn't make much sense. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Not necessarily, if you want to be a good actor, and you have a brother who protects you and is not disturbed by unspoken rules, then being a successful actor is also very beautiful. ”
As for being followed by the paparazzi after becoming famous, Li Default believes that this is not a problem at all, what you want to gain, you must lose something.
Li Mo said again: "That's it, after you go to the United States in the second half of this year, in addition to filming that dancing movie with Julie, you will occasionally walk the catwalk, and continue to study with peace of mind for the rest of the time." When you grow up and want to be an actor, your brother supports you to be an actor, you don't want to be an actor, work hard to learn some knowledge and help your brother do things. ”
"Brother, pull the hook. ”
The two tugged at the hook.
"Brother, do you love them?"
"They ......," Li Mo smiled bitterly.
"Miss Theron, do you know what love is?"
There are a thousand kinds of love in the eyes of a thousand people, Charlize can't answer, and Li Mo doesn't know how to explain it.
"Love is passionate, like a storm, it comes quickly, it comes violently, but it goes quickly. Family affection is a pot of warm and low-key wine, the older it is, the more fragrant it is. ”
Li Mo's explanation is also a bit biased, but considering the love experience of his two lives, it can be understood, at least it is indeed his view of love.
For example, Yu Qingmei, now Li Mo also has an indifferent attitude, and it is rare to even think of Yu Qingmei.
Or like Guo Zirong, sometimes when I think about it, Li Mo still feels a little painful, but in two lives, these loves and hates are gradually faded, to a certain extent, it may not be as important as Charllotze, at least not as important as the girls in Lejia.
Li Mo also said: "It is beautiful to go to the palace of marriage with love, but if you don't convert this love into family affection in time, tolerate and understand each other, and help and rely on each other, then this comedy will quickly transform into a drama, suspense, thriller, and horror film." ”
"What's the plot...... Charlize suddenly laughed: "Brother, your metaphor is so interesting." ”
After a while, Charlize asked again: "Brother, do you mean family affection?"
"Love should be warm and selfish, my relationship with them is definitely not love, but people are emotional animals, after a long time, there is some family affection, about that. ”
In fact, there is no need to explain it so complicated, to put it simply, Li Mo and Liu Wanruo are not a simple ** relationship.
When encountering their respective birthdays, as well as Valentine's Day, there is no White Day or Chinese Valentine's Day in China, so Li Mo changed it to the Mid-Autumn Festival.
There are some emotional factors, but it is not exactly the kind of supreme family affection that husband and wife depend on each other as Li Mo said.
If Li Moken goes further, he may be able to develop a few "little ladies", but not everyone is willing to become his little ladies.
However, Li Mo only developed his relationship to this point, and he didn't even give a false promise. Therefore, if there is an unexpected factor, it can be dispersed.
It can't be seen as a complete transaction of money and flesh, there are some emotional factors, but this emotional factor is very fragile. Charlize is also curious because she has grown up, and according to the calculations of many rural areas, she is eighteen years old, and in many remote mountainous areas, she can get married. Therefore, she began to have some ideas and views of love...... But this is Charlize's privacy, Li Mo won't ask, and he can't ask: Xiao Cha, do you have anyone you like? Xiao Cha, do you want to crackle?
"Brother, you still have an excuse. ”
Li Mo admits that he was wrong to do this, but now that he is also depraved, it is wrong, and he will not think that he is shameful in doing so.
He pouted and said, "Whatever you want, you can say whatever you like." ”
Charlize was happy, and Li Mo admitted it, which made her feel a kind of pleasure that pulled her cheap brother into the mortal world......
The Le's family is here.
Charlize dragged Le Yijing to her room like a savior, she still had a lot of winter vacation homework to complete, and Le Yijing came just in time.
The three Lejia sisters finished their winter vacation homework.
Zhao'er wanted to watch TV, Li Mo played TV, and there were several channels broadcasting news of the Gulf War.
The day before yesterday, the multinational forces launched a ground offensive.
The combined forces of the Arab countries on the eastern front, attacking north along the coast, occupied Kuwait City.
The U.S. 1st Marine Expeditionary Force attacked north from the "elbow" of the Shako border, seized the Mutrah Pass, cut off the road from Kuwait City to the northeast of Kuwait, and attracted the main force of the Iraqi army to Kuwait.
The joint forces of the Arab countries on the northern front attacked from the western sector of the Shako border in the direction of Ali Semim airfield, and together with friendly and neighboring forces, they eliminated the Iraqi forces in Kuwait and occupied Kuwait City.
The U.S. Seventh Army carried out a major assault, advancing from the west of the Batingan River to the north, penetrating into the depths of Iraq, and then moving eastward to coordinate with its left neighbor, the Eighteenth Airborne Army, to encircle and annihilate the Iraqi Republican Guard in the area south of Basra.
The U.S. 18th Airborne Corps carried out auxiliary assaults, broke through from the Saudi-Iranian border to the banks of the Euphrates River, controlled Highway 8 east of Semawa to Baghdad, isolated Iraqi troops in Kuwait, and cooperated with the U.S. Seventh Army to annihilate the Iraqi Republican Guard.
It was under this tactic that the Route 6 evacuation tragedy was produced.
Interestingly, however, a few days ago, Iraq saw that the situation was not good, and was willing to accept Security Council Resolution 660 and withdraw its troops from Kuwait on a conditional basis. Saddam relented, and the Soviet Union put forward four peace proposals, and then proposed a plan for the withdrawal of Iraqi troops, but the United States decisively rejected it.
This incident finally showed the world the weakness of the Soviet Union.
But what fell in Limer's eyes was the stupidity of Gorbachev and Yeltsin.
It's all like this, and you still can't see the full malice of the Western world towards the Soviet Union and Russia?
But this is good news for China, which hastened the collapse of the Soviet Union. Otherwise, this powerful neighbor rides on top of China, and China is too hard.
Today, the ground war is gradually coming to an end.
However, after the armistice, there was a series of conflicts, such as Resolution 687 adopted by the Security Council in early April, which demanded that Iraq recognize the border agreement signed between Iraq and Kuwait on 4 October 1963; Chemical weapons and ballistic missiles with a range of more than 150 kilometres will not be allowed to possess or develop nuclear weapons and materials for their production in the future, a demilitarized zone will be established on the border between Iraq and Iraq, to be supervised and managed by United Nations observers, Iraq must compensate for all losses and injuries caused to foreign Governments, citizens and companies as a result of its occupation of Kuwait, and all States continue to be prohibited from selling or supplying weapons and technology ...... to Iraq.
When the Iraqi army retreated, it set fire to more than 700 oil fields, causing 4 million to 6 million barrels of petroleum per day, equivalent to 10 percent of the world's daily oil consumption, to turn into billowing smoke and emit a total of 500 million tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. It not only worsens the environment in the Middle East, but also causes global air pollution.
More than 20 years later, two-fifths of Kuwait's water sources are still contaminated, with at least 10 million barrels of crude oil spilling into the Gulf, polluting some 5,000 kilometres of coastline. During the nine months that the well burned, the local temperature dropped by 10 degrees Celsius. The total devastating losses were about $40 billion.
The World Resources Institute (WRI) found that gas samples taken from farms in Iran, 2,000 kilometers from Kuwait, contained oil deposits, soot, sulfur and other black carbonic acids. In addition, unburned oil is deposited in the farmland, forming large chunks of black cement that can no longer be cultivated. In southern Kuwait there is an oil sludge lake that is 800 meters long and about 5 meters deep at its deepest point.
Iraq dumped another 6 million to 8 million barrels of oil into the Indian Ocean, killing 25,000 seabirds and leaving the rotting carcasses in a thick black viscous layer on the coastline, devastationing the already fragile marine ecosystem and making it the world's most polluted area.
In order to eliminate the environmental damage caused by the fires, dozens of countries around the world have had to spend huge sums of money and mobilize many fire brigades to extinguish the fires, and China has also sent fire brigades......
Therefore, the five forces involved in this war all played a dishonorable role.
The Soviet Union egged Iraq but did not have the courage to confront the US military head-on.
Before the war, Kuwait did take advantage of Iraq in the location of some oil wells, or at least suspected of greedy for small gains.
Iraq is arrogant and considers itself a third power, so the invasion of Kuwait, and the madness at the end, are even less worthy of sympathy.
Not to mention the United States. However, although the United States successfully implemented the petrodollar plan, the outcome was not as good as the United States imagined, and it was this battle that finally made the United States fall into the mud pit of the Middle East.
Saudi Arabia and other countries have foolishly approached the West, leading the scourge of the United States to the Middle East, so that there will be no peace in the Middle East.
But the Le's couple will definitely not see this,
Le Hao looked at the TV screen and muttered, "The United States is too powerful." ”
Li Mo was speechless.
Le Hao said again: "Xiao Mo, you said that China can catch up in the future, can such a United States catch up?"
"Godfather, it's hard to surpass, but I can gradually narrow the gap between the two countries in the future......"
There are three important factors that determine whether a country can develop well or not.
The first is the system, when Wang Anshi changed the law, the ancestral family law mentioned by some conservative ministers was the system formulated by Song Taizu and Song Taizong for the Song Dynasty.
This system is diverse, and it cannot be distinguished solely by capitalism and GCISM.
Singapore has Singapore's system, the United States has the American system, and China has China's system.
What kind of system will often produce different military, economic, and cultural development changes.
China's future system is not perfect, but it will not be as idealistic as before, at least it has begun to pay attention to the spirit of pragmatism, and the slogan is "practice is the standard for testing theory", "no matter whether it is a black cat or a white cat, if you can catch a mouse, you are a good cat". It's utilitarian, but it's exactly what China needs right now.
The human factor.
A few years later, Nelson Mandela was elected president of South Africa, and black people were in charge, but South Africa began to decline.
Because of China's vast territory, it is difficult to unite as one, but we cannot ignore the diligence and wisdom of the Chinese, as Charlize said, Americans are very rich, but many people are lazy, the village (referring to Li Zhuang) said that Li Dashen is lazy, but Li Dashen put in the United States, it is still diligent.
Resources, including land area, mineral resources, water resources, agriculture, fish and animal husbandry resources, etc., and even the geopolitical environment is also one of the resources.
Chinese's per capita resources belong to a poor resource country, but together, they cannot be ignored.
In ancient times, it was said that the territory was expanded, but in fact, the word has become more important today with the progress of science and technology. If the United States were like its founder, shrunk in the corner of the western Atlantic, without the current land and sea area, would it still be a great power?
If China does not lose Vladivostok, Sakhalin, Jiangdong Liushitun, Waimeng, Tangnu-Ulianghai and Outer Northwest, as well as the disputed Zangnan, which is actually equal to the loss, the central and southern parts of the South China Sea, and God knows which year the bay will be recovered, how many benign changes will it bring to China?
Taken together, however, China can barely be called a resource powerhouse.
These are the fundamentals that will support China's future development.
But look at the United States.
It is certainly not appropriate to move the Chinese system to the United States, and it is certainly not appropriate to move the American system to China.
Although the Chinese media deliberately vilify the American system, they ask themselves that the system is actually not bad. Speaking of defects, isn't there even more flaws in China's system? Later people complained about officials, civil servants, and police......
But now the officials are even worse, the police are not cops, and many cops are hooligans.
But the general direction is right.
The human factor, the United States is still a white-dominated country, not only white, they call themselves Uncle Sam, they have more pragmatism than Europeans.
Unless a hundred years from now, the number of black Americans accounts for six or seven percent, then this factor will become a weakness of the United States.
Finally, there are resources.
To say that China is the third largest country by area is actually to remove the disputed areas, as well as the bays, and China does not have a large land area as the United States. And most of them are lofty mountains, plateaus and snowy regions, and desert Gobi areas. Not to mention per capita, the comprehensive resources are not as good as those of the United States.
As for the ocean area, China claims to have more than 3 million square kilometers of ocean area, and less than half of it can actually be controlled. The ocean area of the United States has reached more than 12 million square kilometers, and this ocean area is also a very important resource.
Not only land resources, but also geopolitical environment.
China is surrounded by more evil neighbors than friendly neighbors, and there are several countries that cannot be underestimated, such as Russia and Japan. India should not be underestimated, after all, there are more than a billion people. Waimeng, South Korea, and most countries in Southeast Asia, including the largest Singapore and Wanwan, are strongly hostile to China, only the west is a little better, and they are also facing the danger of some extremist religious elements.
But what about the United States, Canada to the north, which is almost equal to a federal state of the United States, and Mexico to the south, there are many people who are clamoring to join the United States. This excellent geopolitical environment enables the United States to dominate the world under the slogan of safeguarding international order, and it can also practice isolationism with peace of mind when retreating.
Therefore, it is very difficult for China to surpass the United States, not per capita income, which is even more difficult.
It's not the total GDP, and it doesn't represent the overall strength.
Even in the late Qing Dynasty, the GDP was very good, but it was the object of division among the great powers.
Thinking of this, Li Mo sighed and said, "The United States can really be called God's darling. ”
"God's favorite?"
Li Mo talked about the United States' land resources and geographical advantages.
And there's more.
They have sufficient technical accumulation and are college students. China is now relatively backward in all aspects of technology, and it is a primary school student.
Behind the family, a large group of fox friends and dog friends, China, the whole family is a lonely person, even if there are a few buddies, they are poorer than China, and they are so poor that they are still counting on China to support them.
"Xiao Mo, isn't the Soviet Union more resourceful?" asked Huang Xiaoyue.
"When it comes to land resources, the Soviet Union is even better than the United States. ”
In the past, the territory of the Soviet Union may not be so good, especially close to the Arctic Circle, even with the current technology, it is still difficult for human beings to survive there. However, with the advancement of science and technology, even the Arctic Circle can gradually be developed and utilized
However, Li Mo said: "Good resources are good, but in addition to resources, there are two other things that are also very important, system and people, the Soviet Union has a vast territory and many rich resources, but it obviously has a good card, but let them break it themselves." ”
The collapse of the Soviet Union was not only the responsibility of Gorbachev, but also began to deteriorate from the hands of Brezhnev, especially after the Soviet Union was deeply mired in the battlefield of Afghanistan, the killer of the great powers, and the Soviet Union began to decline rapidly. But in the hands of Putin the Great, it did not save Russia from declining, although Russia also has abundant land resources. The area is almost 1.9 times that of China, and the population is also the ninth in the world, but the total GDP is only the 12th in the world, and it is not as good as a year.
This is not only the human factor, but also the system and policy factors that Li Mo mentioned.
Therefore, Li Mo obviously sees many ugly phenomena in the country, but he has an optimistic attitude, and compares it with Russia, which is a big country in transition.
Charlize suddenly came out of behind him coldly and said: "Brother, why don't you buy land in the United States, I heard that some big landowners in the United States own millions of acres of land, and their wealth is far inferior to yours, let alone your ability to make money, so they simply buy tens of millions of acres of land." ”
"Buy tens of millions of acres of land?" Li Mo almost squirted out the tea in his mouth.
