Chapter 334: Brazil, Rio in Turmoil
The Federative Republic of Brazil, commonly known as 'Brazil', is the largest country in South America and enjoys the reputation of 'Football Kingdom', with a total land area of 8,577,400 square kilometers, ranking fifth in the world. The total population of the www.biquge.info has reached 202 million.
The word Brazil comes from the Brazilian rosewood, which breeds on the coast of Brazil, and is called pau-brasil in Portuguese, where brasil means red like charcoal, and is formed from the Latin brasa with the suffix -il.
Brazil has been inhabited by humans since 8,000 years ago, inhabited by Indians, but since the arrival of the Portuguese navigator Pedro Cabral in the early 15th century.
Brazil gradually became a colony, and in the following centuries, the Brazilian culture gradually became multi-ethnic, and Brazil became a melting pot of immigrants from Europe, Africa, Asia and other regions.
Rio de Janeiro, the second largest city in Brazil.
It is located in the southeastern coastal region of Brazil, bordering the Atlantic Ocean, with a coastline of 636 kilometers.
Rio de Janeiro is an important gateway to Brazil and South America, and one of the most developed cities in all of South America.
There are more than 700 banks and the largest stock exchange.
It is home to the largest Maracanã football stadium in the world.
The scenery is beautiful, and Monte Cristo is the symbol here.
This is the host city of the 31st Summer Olympic Games!
is such a very beautiful city, but at this moment, Zhao Ran is very, very unhappy!
Just five days ago, the sports team finished their training camp and is scheduled to travel to Rio yesterday to prepare for the Olympic Village!
But the security in Rio is so chaotic that not long after getting off the plane, Zhao Ran and his party were robbed three times!
Nima, three times!
We're athletes, aren't we sweet?
It's been a miserable time in Brazil.
At the end of March this year, the Brazilian Democratic Movement Party (MDP) announced its decision to break with the ruling party at the party's National Leaders' Congress.
In May, President Dilma Rousseff was impeached.
Political abrupt changes, official corruption, economic crisis, poor social order, Zika virus ......
All the bald things poured up, making the Brazilian people miserable.
Zhao Ran had visited Brazil before he came, and he also knew that the country was in dire straits.
But without experiencing it himself, he really couldn't have imagined that the country had become so chaotic.
Because of the approaching Olympics, Zhao Ran, as a participant, will naturally be very concerned.
"The government of this country is so corrupt, not only is the economy in recession like this, the people are living in dire straits, and now there is the threat of the Zika virus, how did you apply for the right to host the Olympics in the first place?"
This is the most popular question during this time, because according to the current situation, Brazil is so scummy, the Olympic Committee should not be so brain-dead!
In fact, you must know that Brazil's bid for the Olympic Games is still a matter of 09, when Brazil was very bullish, the country's economy took off, and the whole country was full of confidence in Brazil's future.
Brazil's economy grew by 7.5 percent in 2010, the highest in 24 years, a year three times that of the United States.
In 2012, Brazil overtook the United Kingdom to become the sixth largest economy in the world!
At that time, Brazil could be described as high-spirited, so it directly contracted the 14-year World Cup and the 16-year Olympic Games, because people did have this confidence.
But it all came to an end in 2013.
In 2013, Brazil's economic growth began to decelerate.
In 2014, the World Cup in Brazil kicked off, but what everyone didn't expect was that the powerful Brazilian football team failed miserably in this event, Brazil vs. Germany, 1:7! The fiasco was undoubtedly a slap in the face for the Brazilian.
In 2015, Brazil's economy shrank by 3.8%! It recorded its worst performance in 35 years, ranking second to last in global economic growth and first in Venezuela......
In 2016, the Olympics were approaching, but instead of making Brazil better, it was worse.
Brazil is known for its corrupt officials, with Vale and Petrobras governments in absolute control.
These two companies are among the top 500 companies in the world, contributing 10% of Brazil's GDP alone.
The government controls such two large companies, and there is so much oil and water in them, it is inevitable that some people will not be able to help it.
Since about last year, Petrobras' corruption has finally surfaced.
The amount of money and people involved in the case has shocked the whole world, and at the same time, it has shaken Brazil's politics and made the country's economy worse.
According to the revelations, the amount of money involved in any one of the cases involving any official is as high as more than 100 million US dollars, which is not a small amount, and it is not uncommon for large transactions to be worth billions or tens of billions.
Brazil's politics are getting more and more chaotic, and no one is in charge of the country, let alone the economy......
When Zhao Ran saw this, he couldn't cry or laugh, this is the strongest of the strong, his own country is better than Brazil, or his own country!
Zhao Ran is really a little skeptical, can this Olympics really be held?
The Olympics are not long away, but a large number of venues have not yet been built, and the subway is said to be open a few days before the opening.
The funniest thing is that the opponent actually killed the Olympic mascot, a jaguar, on the spot during the torch ceremony.
This is to cherish and protect animals? He was killed like that?
Now the animal protection organization can't bear it anymore and must protest!
In addition to the jaguars, the waters of the regatta are full of garbage, and I heard that there are super viruses and floating corpses......
The Zika virus has claimed many lives......
The streets and alleys are full of people blocking the road and robbing people......
Police protest against not going to work......
All indications are that the Brazilian pill!
……
……
"Xiao Zhao, are you okay?" Zhou Guan hurriedly ran to Zhao Ran's side and asked.
Zhao Ran kicked the man on the ground who was knocked unconscious by him, this was the third wave of robbers he encountered.
Fortunately, Zhao Ran has good skills, and so far he has not caused any harm to his entourage.
There are his parents, little sister, Zhao Mo's father and daughter, and so on.
These people are his closest people, and Zhao Ran will never allow them to be harmed.
Originally, I thought that the accompanying team with sports would definitely be able to sit back and relax, and no matter how crazy these robbers were, they would not be able to attack their large group of people, right?
But the facts slapped him in the face, people don't care if you are Olympians or not, even if so? Take it for now!
He regrets it now, and he had let the monkeys and them come over if he knew it, so that his relatives could also have some safety.
After settling down, be sure to call the monkey as soon as possible and ask them to come over quickly, it should be no problem to keep an eye on yourself these days.
"It's okay coach, let's hurry over to the Olympic Village, it's too chaotic here."
Zhao Ran didn't care about the man on the ground, the person was already unconscious, and it was estimated that it would be useless to hand it over to the police, so it was better to leave quickly.
Zhou Guan nodded hurriedly, his heart was pounding now, if it weren't for Zhao Ran's shot, let alone the game, it would be a blessing to be able to go back completely!
Fortunately, after experiencing 3 robberies, the group did not encounter the 4th time, and came to the Olympic Village safely.
After registration, everyone finally moved into the Olympic Village.
But that's not all, the Olympic Village has an accident again! (To be continued.) )
