Chapter 212: Question
On the morning of the second day after returning from an adventure in another world, Zhang Cheng, who had enjoyed the hot springs, felt that it was better to be at home - the spirit was softened after soaking in the hot springs, and then he enjoyed the family's collection of pairs of large and small and all kinds of shaved cats......
It seems that it is not unreasonable for the ancients to say that they were born in sorrow and died in peace.
Opening the morning newspaper, Zhang Cheng browsed some key news - lace news was of no value to Zhang Cheng at all.
The news is mixed, such as the fact that California is still in a series of droughts, and the price of forage has risen again. Black communities are still playing tricks in various places, challenging the bottom line of the National Guard again and again, including their relatives in Africa.
There is even more bad news in the international community, and China and Russia, which have suffered from sanctions and are now suffering from sanctions, have hugged each other for warmth. China has also become the world's largest importer of agricultural products this year, and at the same time remains the world's largest importer of minerals and raw materials -- the world's factories are not so easy to do, and there is always bitterness behind the scenery.
Zhang Cheng also thought about a question, is there enough food in China? As a result, the answer was that it was impossible to eat with 7% of the world's arable land if it was barely enough to eat just for the purpose of being fed, and if you wanted to be well-off and eat well.
However, as the world's largest industrial power (output) and the world's top three industrial powers (technology), it is obviously not enough to solve the problem of food and clothing for the Chinese people. However, once people get stuck in such a strategic material as grain, Europeans and Americans will not wear new clothes for a few years, but they cannot go without food for three days.
Looking at the layout of the United States now, Zhang Cheng feels more and more clever -- the United States itself is the world's largest grain exporter, and at the same time controls Canada, Australia, Brazil, and other major grain exporters. Whoever does not obey a grain embargo - imperialist sanctions teach you how to behave in minutes with an iron fist, and you don't even need to start a war. At this stage, Iran and North Korea in the sanctions list belong to the main ones who are holding on to Jinshan to eat.
Ukraine, which is now being contested between NATO and Russia, is also the world's third largest grain exporter and a well-known European granary. Once the world's grain trade is monopolized, who would dare to disobey -- perhaps France is one of the few grain exporters in the European Union and has its own relatively complete industrial system. This may also be the confidence of the French to dare to fight with the Americans.
In terms of wine quality, French wines, American wines and Australian wines are a little worse than Swiss wines, but in the international market, there is hardly a shadow of Swiss wines. The reason is that the production is not high, and the Swiss people love wine, and the Swiss production is not enough for the local people. How can there be extra takeaways.
Food security is a real problem. But as the old saying goes, the sky is falling from a high top, and Zhang Cheng knows that this is not something to worry about. All I can do is take care of the present.
Put down the newspaper, saw that Ye Zi was competing with the notebook keyboard, and asked, "What are you fighting again?" â
Ye Zi: "Japanese netizens, talk about the border areas again. â
Zhang Cheng's mind turned to his heart: "I'll write you an advertorial." â
After decades of development, advertorials have a fixed format. Zhang Cheng took a notebook and wrote that he was traveling to Japan, and casually asked a passerby: "Excuse me." Are you Japanese? â
As a result, the passer-by hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, I am an Ainu." â
Then he asked a passer-by, "Are you Japanese?" â
As a result, the passerby also waved his hand and said, "No, no, I'm from the Ryukyus." â
Japan has never been a country with a single ethnic group and a single culture...... The reason why many people have the impression that Japan is a mono-ethnic country is because the ethnic minorities have almost killed them - even at the end of World War II, Japan surrendered and slaughtered a large number of Ryukyuan people in the Ryukyus, because they were afraid that the Ryukyuan people would take advantage of Japan's defeat and independence.
Looking at this format, Ye Zi was also inspired: "It's so simple, I will too." â
Then Ye Zi grabbed the notebook and began to write her British travelogue that did not contain zĂ i - there are more British netizens who fight with Ye Zi on weekdays.
"Are you British?"
"No, no. I'm Irish. â
"Excuse me, are you British?"
"No, no. I'm Scottish. â
Britain is now known as England as the main country, and Britain is actually two different concepts - for the Scots, the English are barbarian feudal aristocrats who ride on them by playing tricks, and Scotland has its own football league and national team - the Scottish national team.
This advertorial has a wide range of adaptability, and it can also be used in the United States. For example:
"Excuse me, are you an American?"
"No, no. I'm an Eskimo. â
"Excuse me, are you an American?"
"No, no, I'm an Indian."
You see, it's that simple.
Zhang Cheng, who returned to the room, picked up an old-fashioned phone in the room. I picked up the phone and shook it a few times before I said, "Hey, pick me up the archbishop of South Africa." â
"Wait a minute."
This is the telephone line that Zhang Cheng secretly communicated with the church -- the Americans monitor almost all wireless telephones, and even the big people listen 24 hours a day, so the old-fashioned telephones that are secretly laid are safer.
As for the hand-cranked charging phone, it is a little bad taste of Zhang Cheng - it is quite handsome to shake it before making a phone call on TV. The supply is not a problem, isn't there a thrift store? The hand-cranked phone inside is well maintained.
After the phone was connected, Zhang Cheng said, "It's me." â
Bishop of South Africa: "Yes, sir. I'm listening. â
Zhang Cheng: "What is the situation in South Africa now?" â
Bishop of South Africa: "Very bad, full of barbarians of ancestral faith, who stormed the cities, burned cars, robbed shops, and killed and expelled foreigners they met - even the white people who lived there for many generations, and here I am talking about the descendants of the Boer Dutch, and even stormed churches everywhere - they were all mob heretics who deserved hell. â
Zhang Cheng: "Okay, I mean to say is there anything you need?" After reading the newspaper, I thought I should have sent some humanitarian aid or something......"
Bishop of South Africa: "Ah, of course. In fact, we have requested assistance from the Holy See for all kinds of medicines, tents, food, purified water, diesel generators and diesel. I even applied for arms, but I was not approved. We are now in contact with the mercenaries. â
Zhang Cheng: "The situation is already so bad? â
Bishop of South Africa: "The reality is that it's worse than the worst you can imagine. â
Zhang Cheng thought that it would be enough to provide some medicine and tent food, but how could he have thought that it would be so bad - the newspaper did say that now foreigners in South Africa have taken refuge in police stations, churches, consulates, embassies and other places, and there seem to be some records of foreigners' deaths and injuries.
The South African bishop continued: "The indigenous people here in South Africa do not even have their own written language, and most of them also speak English and Dutch. And generally short lifespan. It's the end of life at the age of thirty or forty. They don't know anything about the power of the civilized world, and I've read local logs, and after the presence of foreigners here, xenophobic riots break out every few decades -- they instinctively think that the reason why they are poor and backward is that foreigners come here and make money, and they want to get rich and take back the money from foreigners.
If there were no foreigners, they would have targeted other indigenous tribes with their wars. to expand the territory and reduce population pressure. It can be said that it is extremely ignorant - the massacre between the tribes is not a single one. â
Zhang Cheng thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry." There will be weapons, and so will the mercenaries. â
Zhang Cheng also thought about it, if he sat on his vision and wiped out civilization just because of Shenma humanitarianism, then the current earth civilization would eventually be replaced by chimpanzees like in the rise of apes - chimpanzees are primate higher social animals that are even more barbaric than blacks.
If the barbarians want to win by barbarism, then the civilized people might as well take off the mask of civilization and continue their civilization -- since the clean officials are more treacherous than the corrupt officials, the civilization of the civilized people can only be more barbaric than the methods of the barbarians.
In other words, it doesn't matter if the process is right or wrong, black and white - as long as the result is good, everything is good.
Since the Holy See did not intend to send armed personnel to South Africa, Zhang Cheng had no choice but to maintain the same agreement -- no armed personnel from the Holy See would be sent.
Zhang Chengtong's way of publishing tasks. Use mission points as a lure to send six mercenaries from six countries. The total number of people is only more than 200 people, and the defense of dozens of churches in the turbulent areas of South Africa is not enough, but they carry a batch of guns and ammunition to support the South African region.
These weapons will be issued to the personnel of the church for self-defense - the more than 200 mercenaries will only carry out focused and mobile defense.
After these arrangements were finished, Zhang Cheng thought to himself, the moment when the teacher said finally appeared. Originally. Africans have a low level of civilization and a low life expectancy, but a relatively high birth rate, which can be regarded as a natural drain. But now, the countries led by the United States and the countries that are pulling the banner of "civilization" have begun to take the lead in providing modern medicines and medical supplies to Africa -- even doctors and nurses.
In a few decades, Africans have lived longer, but the land is still the same - and much of Africa's land is still produced in a primitive way of slash-and-burn farming. The problem arises. Africa's neonatal mortality rate has fallen, people have lived longer, and the relative population has increased - what do these extra people eat?
If it were a modern country, it would definitely want to change the way it grows and increase its yield -- but here the illiteracy rate in South Africa is close to 90 percent. Their thinking is very simple, we are poor and hungry, so to speak, to rob the rich and rob the foreigners - these two kinds of people are often one and the same, at least compared to them.
If there are no foreigners, then go and grab the grain land of other tribes, you see, the problem will not be solved. What do you need to fight a war, it's very simple, you need to bring food, ammunition and medicine, it's good, the United States sells all of these -- there's no money, that's not a thing, there's always diamonds, there's always minerals.
Seeing such a simple thinking of Africans, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but think of a sentence written on the wall of colleges and universities in the past: ten years of cultivating trees, and a hundred years of educating people.
It's not that Africa doesn't want universal education, but it's about the same as Indians, and it's all about to think about. Because the investment in universal compulsory education is very large, and the return will only be seen in a few decades - for their leaders, spending money on compulsory education is far less realistic than buying a car, buying a plane, buying a yacht, building a villa.
However, with an illiteracy rate of more than 80%, South Africa should not think about eating the demographic dividend. Looking at China, which was colonized by the British at about the same time as South Africa, since 1840, China seems to be like the immortal little power in the main text, and they can always stand up after being abused over and over again for more than a hundred years, but their hearts to study abroad in batches to seek prosperity and strength and seek change have never changed.
Looking at the black Americans and the black South Africans, Zhang Chengyi feels that they are very similar -- when encountering unsatisfactory things, violent riots, violent riots, violent riots, this may really be the genetic reason. In fact, every violent riot of black people is a slap in the face of Martin Luther King Jr. - even if violence can really solve the racial problem, it is the U.S. government that has used violence to solve the problem.
Martin Luther King Jr. understood this, but the blacks who didn't go to school well didn't. Now we can proudly say that most of Martin Luther King's dreams have come true, and you see the sons of blacks and whites drinking tea and chatting together on Capitol Hill.
Now no one in the United States uses skin color as a ticket to the upper echelons, and slum communities are inhabited by other whites and people of color. It's a pity that the black inhabitants are still the mainstream, and the mainstream of the criminal army - even if it's free and compulsory education, but you can't do it if you don't learn it or do it yourself.
Therefore, after Zhang Cheng wrote this phenomenon into his paper, he commented that it is not a racial problem, nor an economic problem, nor an education problem, but a genetic problem -- the evolution of genes is much slower than we think, but genetic variation is very simple.
