Chapter 625 People have courage first, and the land can have property!

In the southwest of Asia, there is a continental block called Africa, which is bordered by the Indian Ocean in the east and the Atlantic Ocean in the west, with a total area of 30 million square kilometers, accounting for 20 percent of the world's total land area, and is the second largest continent in the world after Asia, referred to as Africa.

It is the homeland of the black people, one of the ancient birthplaces of world civilization, an arid and waterless world with a third of the area of deserts, and of course lush forests and fertile grasslands.

Due to the sluggish economic and cultural development, the degree of civilization here is generally poor, the rich minerals are difficult to be effectively developed, and the economic structure is not reasonable to a large extent. In addition, the natural environment is relatively extreme, either too dry or too wet, and the political situation in many countries is chaotic and unstable, ethnic contradictions are frequent, and AIDS is rampant, so that all countries are generally in a state of poverty.

Africa is the poorest continent in the world, and many regions are even regressing in economic indicators year after year, with low life expectancy, political instability, violence, and huge disparities between rich and poor.

Poverty, hunger, disease, and war are the main themes of many people's lives.

Of course, these are only local phenomena, and on the whole, the continent is still moving in the direction of progress, but at a slower pace.

……

It was none other than his Abu Dhabi friend Maimun who brought shocking news to Wang Zhuo, and the prince told Wang Zhuo in a gloating tone that there was another African country and a coup d'état!

"You have three chances to guess which country." Mai Meng smiled: "If you guess correctly, there will be a surprise." ”

"Tell me what the surprise was." Wang Zhuo quietly switched out of the search page on the computer.

This time it was Mai Meng's turn to strategize, and he smiled proudly: "Dear Wang, don't try to get information through Internet searches, the coup has just begun, and it will be at least another day before there will be the latest news on the Internet." ”

"Oh?" Wang Zhuo was surprised for a moment, and said playfully: "Since this is the case, can I think that the country where the coup d'état took place is a poor and backward small country, and the information is still very underdeveloped?" ”

"What a smart guy." Mai Meng muttered and urged, "Then guess quickly!" ”

Wang Zhuo's fingers paused on the computer, and the established search keywords changed from "Africa" space "coup" to "Africa" space "map", he quickly found an latest African map, and then patrolled it, and locked on several of the politically turbulent countries.

However, when he started with the most likely one, and after guessing three times in a row, he guessed wrong each time, and also exposed his shallow geographical and political level, which became the object of McMong's ridicule.

"Looks like you couldn't have guessed!" Mai Meng finally said proudly: "That country is called Eswatini, have you heard of the annual *** reed festival?" ”

Swaziland? Reed Festival?

Wang Zhuo blinked and suddenly laughed, this is a very interesting country, but its land area is too small!

He couldn't help but smile and asked, "Even such a small country, will there be a coup d'état?" ”

"If there are only three people in the office, there will be a clique and faction, let alone a country?" "But the country is a little smaller, with a population of just over a million, and a coup d'état is really like playing a family," Maimon said. ”

"But is this news important to me?" Wang Zhuo asked suspiciously: "I don't know a single Eswatini, and as far as I know, it has no legal diplomatic relations with my country, so why did you call me specifically to inform me?" ”

Mai Meng smiled: "Listen to me tell you slowly." ”

……

Eswatini is a feudal hereditary country, and it has been two years since the death of the previous king, Mswati III, and his son Masvi IV succeeded him.

According to records, Sobhuza II had seventy wives, and at the time of his death, he had more than a thousand grandchildren, and Masvi, now forty, was one of them.

Many people know the country of Eswatini from its reed festival, and so does Wang Zhuo. Eswatini is a feudal hereditary country, and the Reed Festival in August is a celebration of young girls coming of age, as well as the king's annual concubine selection ceremony.

So why is the Reed Festival world-famous? Because the girls participating in the festival are wearing colorful short skirts, their upper bodies are "bare-chested", and they are singing and dancing with reeds in their hands, and the scene is hot and spectacular!

Since 2000, the country's political situation has gradually accumulated factors of instability. Calls for the democratization process have been raised one after another. However, with the support of the United States and the improvement and suppression of the authorities, it has not been able to produce substantial results.

The country prohibits girls under the age of eighteen from having sex with people. relationship, but in 2005, the third king personally violated this rule and married a seventeen-year-old girl. According to custom, the princess must not be disabled, or one of the twins, and the third king also married a woman who was one of the dragon and phoenix twins as the princess.

The former king himself was one of the main factors in the domestic contradictions, and he sold more than a thousand cattle in order to buy himself a luxury bulletproof car with air conditioning, which caused an uproar in the country back then, because 80% of the country's population could not eat three meals a day, and was in a state of semi-starvation or even starvation, and this 1,750 cows were enough to provide three decent meals of meat for everyone in the country!

It sounds a bit like spending on the bus by Chinese who have no money to alleviate poverty......

The king, fed up with the accusations of the people, brazenly issued a decree prohibiting the taking of pictures of the car!

In 2001, he even banned all citizens from taking the lead in five years to control AIDS, and during those five years he married multiple wives. Prostitutes are rampant and degenerate. Fetal and infanticide have skyrocketed.

More than a third of the country's population is suffering from AIDS, more than a third of the population is hungry, and the king is trying to spend $45 million on a helicopter for fun, which at the time was equivalent to two years of total health investment in the country.

After the death of the king who governed the country "a little mysterious", his son Masvi appeared on the stage, and a series of mediocre ruling behaviors made the people set off waves of opposition, and at the Reed Festival that just ended this year, Masvi IV once again challenged the bottom limit of the people's acceptance, and he actually picked ten girls at once to contribute to his harem!

Mai Meng broke the news to Wang Zhuo that this king had been infected with AIDS! The coup d'état obtained a copy of his medical certificate by means and used this as an opportunity to successfully carry out a coup d'état!

"War will bring down this small country completely." "The population is plummeting, the economy is collapsing, and all kinds of crimes are emerging. And the number of people living with AIDS will skyrocket, don't you want to make a difference in politics? It's a once-in-a-lifetime time! ”

Be your head! Wang Zhuo couldn't cry or laugh, his brother just wanted him to legally marry a few more wives, what did it do.

"If I'm not mistaken, this country has diplomatic relations with a regime that your government does not recognize, right?" Mai Meng said with a smile: "Isn't there an old saying in China, the enemy of the enemy is the friend, and the coup d'état is in urgent need of international support, and I think if you go to contact them, they will be warmly welcomed." ”

"Ahh......h I didn't think about participating in a coup d'état in a country, or being a supporter of one of them? ”

"That's your problem." "Anyway, I'm just bringing this news to you, you know, this country has a population of just over a million people, and it is extremely poor, if you want to obtain a free identity, then there is no lower cost than this time." ”

After chatting for a while, after hanging up the phone, Wang Zhuo still felt a little incredible, Mai Meng really dared to think about letting himself support the coup d'état? This should be called an international joke, right?!

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that this matter was unreliable, Wang Zhuo sat at his desk and was angry and funny, opened the web page casually, and browsed the overview of the country.

With a population of 1.25 million and an area of 17,363 square kilometers, political parties are forbidden to participate in elections, the royal family controls a puppet cabinet, and severely suppresses demonstrations and protests, with a GDP of more than $3 billion......

It's small, it's messy, it's poor...... Quite poor!

What is the concept of a GDP of more than $3 billion? GDP is GDP, and this index of Eswatini means that Wang Zhuo only needs to invest a big man to strengthen the ship to support the country, and the country's economic situation can be increased tenfold!

I'll give it a go, I really don't know if I don't see it, I'm shocked when I see it! Wang Zhuo finally understood why Mai Meng said "There is nothing lower than this time", let alone a strengthened boat, pulling a "hair cabbage" from himself and throwing it over, can help the coup party buy a full set of powerful weapons!

Seeing this, Wang Zhuo suddenly felt a little tempted, such a place the size of a fingernail, if it is really like what Mai Meng said, it will really be ruined and the people will be miserable, if he smashes the thick banknotes at this time, he will not really be regarded as a savior, and it is impossible to be a prestige with his own financial resources, and after the matter is completed, he will not be regarded as a tribute like the emperor?

It sounds a bit of a joke, but there is a saying that things are man-made, and it's a big deal to throw some money into it for nothing, just to save African compatriots from fire and water, and do a good deed for nothing!
