"Argentina is a freak in South America, it doesn't feel like a South American country at all, it's more like a European country, and most Argentines think the same way, they feel like Europeans. Although you have been here for a long time, you should be able to find that it is almost all white, and there are very few Indians and blacks of mixed race, and the people here do not like to live with people of other races, and they want to make a purely European country in South America. Fernando took a small sip of coffee and began to open the grocery store in his stomach to Hong Tao and them.

"Really! He didn't say I really didn't notice, there are almost no blacks here, but there are a lot of black Brazilians? Didn't anyone come to live here in the first place? While listening to Fernando, Hong Tao had to translate the fat cloth and the sturgeon slightly, otherwise it would be very annoying for the other two people to just watch the two people communicate.

"The blacks in the Americas were all originally slave traders, do you know why there are many blacks in Brazil, and there are almost no blacks in Argentina?" Fernando did not answer the question raised by Fat Bu directly, but asked it back.

"This is because of the climate and geography, Brazil is located in the tropics, which is the best place to grow sugar cane, and when the Spaniards came here, they did not adapt to the climate here, and they contracted South American malaria, and many people died. The local Indians were also passed on by the Spaniards to the European disease, and died more, so that no one went to plant sugar cane. So the Europeans here came up with a way to catch black slaves from Africa to work, black Africans have a high resistance to malaria, and they are not afraid of European diseases, so almost all the sugar cane plantations in Brazil are worked by blacks, and the mortality rate of other races is too high to survive at all. After Fernando finished speaking, he paused, but Hong Tao and the three did not ask questions. Because they don't know much about this history, and they can't ask any insightful questions.

"Black slaves were very expensive at that time, a black man in the prime of life could sell for almost 25 pounds, while an Indian slave could only sell for 10 pounds, and there were slaves from all over Asia, who were not adapted to the climate here, so they were cheaper, and the most valuable thing in the hands of the white farmers at that time was the black slaves, and they were a fortune because of them. There will be sugar cane plantations, and no one else will be able to. Fernando was very satisfied with Hong Tao's attitude towards the lecture, and continued to speak.

"Isn't it? I thought black slaves were sold because they were cheap, but they were the most expensive! Sturgeon's English was fairly good, barely intelligible, and what Fernando was talking about was not quite the same as the history he had studied.

"Then why aren't there blacks on the Argentine side?" Hong Tao didn't care about the price of black slaves, but wondered why there were so few blacks in Brazil and Argentina next to each other.

"It's very simple, Argentina is very small, except for the north. The climate was very different from Brazil, and it was not suitable for the cultivation of sugar cane on a large scale, so the Spanish people were reluctant to pay a lot of money for black slaves to come here, mainly for grazing. The climate was also not so humid and hot, and the whites and Indians were perfectly capable of doing the job. Fernando despised Hong Tao's brain a little.

"I really haven't seen much of a black man, but why are there so few Indians? In the past, this should have been the range of Indian power, didn't the Inca Empire, the Mayan civilization, and the Aztec Empire all originated in Central and South America? Hong Tao didn't quite believe Fernando's claim. He was born with a penchant for raising the bar with people, and now that he had finally grasped what he considered to be the evidence in his favor, there were no blacks in Argentina who could barely justify it in Fernando's terms. But the absence of Indians is a bit too much to say, even if the Americans have been killing for so many years, they still haven't killed all the Indians.

"What you say is not unreasonable, but you have forgotten one thing, the Indians only live in the Andes and the jungles of North America, and they are not suitable for the endless savannahs of Argentina, do you know what the road is for?" Fernando also seems to be an old bar, always defending his views to the death, and now when he encounters Hong Tao's challenge, instead of showing weakness, he is also addicted.

"There are few animals here?" Hong Tao held back for a long time before he could barely come up with a reason, he didn't have much research on the Indians.

"It's also a reason that the Indians were not good at farming, and lived mainly by hunting, and before the arrival of white Europeans, there were no horses in all of North and South America, let alone cars, because there were no round wheels. Without horses and wheels, they could not catch up with the animals in the plains, let alone defend against the attacks of other tribes, so there were almost no Indian tribes living in the plains of Argentina, and this place was not suitable for them. Fernando answered Hong Tao's question with a seemingly ridiculous reason.

“…… Is that okay too? Hong Tao really can't find any reason to refute Fernando, although he likes to raise the bar, but he doesn't cheat, as long as what the other party says is reasonable, and he doesn't have sufficient arguments, he can believe it for the time being.

"When the Spanish people came here, they fell in love with this great plain, the land here is very fertile, grow grain and grow grain, raise livestock, cattle and sheep fat, the most important thing is that this does not belong to any aboriginal tribe, there is no need to fight with the aborigines because of the land, so there are many more honest European immigrants who have come to live here, among which the Spanish and Italians are the most. In fact, when you go to the football game tomorrow, you can find that the Argentine football players are all white, and you can't see a black and Indian mixed race, and if they wear Spanish or Italian team uniforms, they can immediately become Spanish team and Italian team, there is no difference at all. Fernando felt that he had not yet fully convinced the three of them, and he gave another obvious argument.

"Lao Hong, don't say it, what this old man said makes some sense, I really can't think of any black or Indian mixed race players in the Argentine football team, I thought they were because of racial discrimination, if it weren't for this, then what he said was really reliable, it's not that they don't want to find black and Indian mixed race players, it's really not that they can't find it, no!" The sturgeon was the first to be convinced, and began to fall to Fernando's side.

"What about Argentina's economy? I think the city of Buenos Aires is quite good, but why is it that Brazil is a BRICS country and Argentina is not? Although Hong Tao has only been in Argentina for half a day, he always has a very familiar feeling, as if he is in a city in Italy, although the city looks very developed and beautiful, but always feels a little decadent.

Before World War II, Argentina's economy was considered first-class in the world, but after World War II, it began to decline, and it has not slowed down until now, and I think it is difficult to slow down. Nowadays, the economically developed countries in the world are all technologically advanced countries, but Argentina has nothing but cattle and sheep and fertile land. "Fernando, as a Brazilian, is really happy to talk about the bad luck in Argentina.

"But when I look at it from the plane, it looks like it's richer than Los Angeles!" Hong Tao passed by Los Angeles, where the villas were all one by one, but when he saw the downtown area of Buenos Aires on the plane, he realized what the villa area was, on the west bank of the La Plata River, the very neat villas could not be seen at a glance, all of them.

"That's the glory of the past, if you can stay here for a few more days, you will know how the people here live every day, they get off work at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, eat dinner until midnight, and continue to drink coffee at work the next day, haven't worked yet, it's lunch time again, such work efficiency, it's strange to be rich and strong!" If Fernando is said in Chinese terms, he is an unswerving Argentine black, let him say this, the Argentines simply commit suicide, what kind of life is there.

"Do you know how many government workers there are in Argentina? It's scary to say it! Fernando felt still angry, and broke another news.

“governmentemployee？” Hong Tao has to find out what kind of government workers Fernando is talking about, because many European and American governments will temporarily entrust some private organizations to help them manage some things, but the salary is not from the tax, so this kind of person cannot be called a government worker. In our country, civil servants generally use civilworker, but foreigners basically don't understand it.

"Yes, the people who get paid by the government, they make up almost 55 to 60 percent of the jobs in Argentina! Almost all the country is a civil servant, and this is the fruit of the seed of democracy planted here, which is simply a big joke in the world, although the Brazilian government is also anti-corruption, but compared to the Argentine government, it is still good. "Fernando finally did justice once, not only to say that Argentina is not, but also to bring his own country.

"Isn't this a big pot of rice? How can there be so many civil servants? Hong Tao expressed great surprise at this number.

"It has to start with a damn democratic electoral system, Argentina has so many political parties that almost every election has to be governed by a different party, and these parties have made a promise at the beginning of the election to keep all the government workers in office in order to win votes. After their party came to power, they arranged for all their party members to be in government work departments, which was also regarded as a kind of welfare, so they just went in and out, as long as they changed to a ruling party, there would be more government workers, and the more they accumulated, the more they spent, and they became what they are now. Fernando didn't know where he had heard the gossip, but he had a nose and an eye. (To be continued......)
