Chapter 102: Political Commissar Guo's Iron Ambition (continued)

“…… The nomads on the Mongolian plateau, after the outbreak of natural disasters on the steppe, the death of livestock in heavy snow or drought, the desperate nomadic tribes will never wait for death, but will fight to the south desperately, sacrificing their lives to rush to the border of the Han people. @乐@文@ This kind of thing has happened in history I don't know how many times, even the feudal scholars in ancient China knew that the famine on the grassland was a sign of the war disaster in the Central Plains.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Jiangnan scholars once thought that no matter how miserable and war-torn Liaodong and Northwest China became, they could still watch the fire and travel from the other side of the Yangtze River on the south bank of the Yangtze River, so they refused to pay taxes to the Ming court as military expenses. So in the end, he was slaughtered by the Manchu soldiers.

In fact, their thinking cannot be said to be completely wrong, if you advance the time by two thousand years, put it in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, no matter what kind of natural disasters and barbarian invasions occur in Qin and Yan, it is difficult to imagine that it will affect the distant Wu and Yue countries. But the problem is that times have changed, and the improvement of transportation conditions and the expansion of human horizons have made all kinds of geographical moats that were once out of reach less insurmountable. ”

Professor Guo said to Li Wei with an indifferent face, "...... By the same token, when the demographic crises in Africa, the Middle East, and South Asia erupt, humanity there will not sit idly by, and will flock to Europe, to the Americas, to China and Southeast Asia, desperately to escape the death hell of the Malthusian demographic trap before starving and being beaten to death. It was probably like the barbarian invasion at the end of the Roman Empire, and its scale and devastation were not comparable to those of the previous refugee crises in Europe. Whether it is the Himalayas, the Tibetan Plateau, or the vast sea, they cannot stop their pace of survival, let alone the border wall and border police. ”

(Due to advances in transportation, the scope and scale of the exodus of modern refugees are much greater than those of ancient times.) For example, in the Syrian civil war, 6 million people in this "small country" of 20 million people fled abroad. Imagine if one-third of the Chinese, that is, 100 million to 200 million Chinese, poured into Nanyang, India and the Soviet Union during the War of Resistance. ）

“…… Of course, with the foundation and strength of a modern industrial country, as long as you completely break through the moral lower limit, make yourself as mad as the Nazis, and build concentration camps, gas chambers, and assembly line killing factories on the border, then even if there are many refugees who come in, they can all be made into industrial raw materials - hair is braided into carpets, human skins are peeled into lampshades, fat is made into soap, and names are only numbered...... But the question is, if such a massacre of a billion or even two billion people had been carried out, would the world at that time still be the world we once knew?

Speaking of which, human life is the same thing, and in many cases, taking the life of a person or even a group of people is no more troublesome than killing an ant or a nest of ants. In modern society, human beings rely on the ropes of law and morality to restrain indiscriminate killing. But in order to organize such an unprecedented massacre, we will have to tear off these two ropes that have been put together with great difficulty. As a result, all warm and affectionate humanitarian ideas will be trampled into the quagmire. Religious freedom and democracy and human rights will no longer be respected, ethnic equality will become a joke under the butcher's knife, the law of the jungle will make a comeback in the sea of blood, all kinds of cruel killing contests will be seen as the norm, executioners who slaughter foreign civilians will be regarded as idols and heroes, and the social atmosphere of each powerful country will be as barbaric and bloodthirsty as that of Nazi Germany and militaristic Japan......

Moreover, those refugees will not sit idly by, under the threat of death, relying on the cohesion brought by religion and skin color, they will use all means, from terrorist attacks to guerrilla warfare, from international public opinion to moral kidnapping, in an attempt to break through the encirclement and win a way out. And there will be ideological confusion and social divisions within the major powers, so much so that they have to carry out a purge of their own citizens before the massacre of refugees. There are also contradictions between various powers, which will also be detonated in the turmoil, trying to use refugees to overwhelm each other, and even stabbing each other while dealing with the refugee crisis. All kinds of revenge and counter-revenge will escalate in the blood, to the point of being creepy.

Moreover, an armed conflict of unprecedented scale is bound to set off an era of pirates in the world's oceans, thereby disrupting the logistics channels of international trade, and even more seriously damaging the overall productivity of the earth, resulting in a reduction in the number of people that the earth can carry under the current level of technology. Supplies that are already in dire need will be given more priority to the military than to people's livelihoods, with the result that the death toll will continue to soar.

But if the industrial countries are not willing to push the moral threshold and continue to open their arms to the influx of refugees who exceed their own populations, the fate of the so-called 'civilized world' will only be worse – from the fall of the Roman Empire to the chaos in China, and the refugee crisis that is now raging in Europe, we can see that the process of national integration is slow and difficult, and that adherents of certain religions have no way to integrate at all. Even temporary repression and stability maintenance will require the loss of human rights, freedom, democracy, and other luxuries of the affluent era, the transformation of the country into a totalitarian system like that of the former Soviet Union, and the treatment of foreign refugees like prisoners of war and labor prisoners, in order to successfully cope with a social crisis of this magnitude.

Therefore, I believe that in the near future, there will be one of the most terrible mass extinctions ever recorded on Earth, with such a brutality, scale and coverage that it will dwarf the two world wars of the twentieth century, and even the concentration camps of Nazi Germany will be ashamed. Even if the great powers did not use nuclear weapons, at least a billion or more people and at least tens of thousands of cities would still be reduced to ashes in the blink of an eye.

What is even more frightening is that even after the end of the refugee crisis, will those industrial countries that have been completely killed in the face of the reshuffled world situation, as in the past, carefully avoid the start of a world war, instead of being driven by belligerents and military leaders, and fight each other with a sense of anger? As Shakespeare said, 'All cruel pleasures will end in cruelty'!

Of course, even so, in overseas wars for spheres of influence in the Third World, the major powers should be able to maintain a tacit understanding not to use nuclear weapons and not to attack each other's homeland, just as the wars of the European powers for overseas colonies in modern times were the same. But even so, the scale and intensity of this are at least equivalent to several or even a dozen Vietnam Wars at the same time, and China is bound to be involved in several of these wars - so, Comrade Li Wei, if my speculation comes true, then you and your son will usher in a war that will last for decades......

In fact, the prelude to this catastrophe is already taking place in the Middle East. In recent years, with the cold nuclear fusion Ark reactor obtained from the Marvel world, which has been gradually put into use in China, the price of oil in the international market has begun to fall sharply. The famine turmoil in the Middle East and North Africa is rapidly escalating, even oil tycoons like Saudi Arabia are gradually unable to stabilize the domestic situation, China's relations with Arab countries have also deteriorated, the activities of terrorists in the northwest region are becoming more and more rampant, and the central government's repression strategy is becoming more and more severe.

After the alien spacecraft at the mouth of the Pearl River was repaired and tens of thousands of tons of helium-3-rich lunar dust were mined from the moon, several major oil-exporting countries were in a mess of financial collapse and banknotes turned into waste paper, and some Jews in Israel even began to re-emigrate to Europe and North America, just as they flocked to Palestine from all directions in the last century, and there were even many people queuing up in front of the Chinese embassy to get Chinese green cards. As for the black African side, the volume of import and export trade with China has also begun to shrink, but arms sales are becoming more and more popular......"

Speaking of this, Political Commissar Guo spread his hands, "...... No matter how you look at it, the future prospects of these regions are very, very bad! ”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

“…… Belch...... Sounds scary indeed. Levi couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, "...... In this case, our country has already obtained so much black technology, why can't we think of a way to pull them up and save the world from this catastrophe? ”

“…… Why not give them a hand? Alas, people can only survive by saving themselves, how can anyone have the heart to look forward to others to save? ”

Political Commissar Guo shook his head, "...... We can't save them. First, if they are to survive the population explosion, they must be transferred an entire industrial system, or at least a modern agricultural system, to increase the food production capacity of Africa and the Middle East. This will not only be of little benefit to China, but will also seriously damage the interests of the United States and Europe, and will certainly be disrupted and sniped by European and American forces.

Second, and what is even worse is that even if Europe and the United States give the green light to let it go, there is no way for Africa and the Middle East to receive this industrial system! This is because the industrial system is not just a matter of buying a bunch of machines and building factories and roads, but also of cultivating talents to operate the machines and establishing a whole set of corresponding political and social systems. But these African guys have been lazy for so many years, and the illiteracy rate has not been reduced. Until now, seeing the catastrophe coming, it is too late to train technical talents from scratch! And their loose and smoky political system and tribal social system do not have the strong executive power of China and the Soviet Union, which can drive the people to upgrade the country at all costs! It's similar in the Middle East, don't look at their universities, but most of the courses taught are theology in addition to liberal arts, and talents in science and engineering are really scarce, even if they can read a doctor of theology or law, what use can they use in industrial construction?

South Asia's industrial base is almost fine, but there are too many political and social shortcomings, the population is more crowded, and the outlook is also not optimistic.

Third, even if their mental strength is outstanding, they have come up with a group of technical talents. However, the modern grain production systems of the Eastern and Western countries are now built around the three major food crops of corn, wheat and rice. In tropical Africa, cassava and bananas are the main food crops, and maize, wheat and rice do not always grow well on black soil. Therefore, Africans have not been able to copy China, Europe and the United States agricultural machinery and equipment and operating processes, but have to reinvent and design a complete set of modern tropical food crop production systems around the large-scale production of bananas and cassava, including breeding, sowing, harvesting, storage, processing and so on, all of which have to explore and study by themselves - such a huge system design, even developed countries are not sure to do it well, Africans can they play in a short time?

Fourth, even if all this is successful, and the scale of their food production is raised to the level of developed countries in a short period of time, if they do not reduce their birth rate, then it will only delay rather than eliminate the demographic crisis - there is a limit to the amount of food that can be harvested per unit of land, and there is no way to increase it to a certain extent. But the question is, from Africa to the Middle East to South Asia, which country has family planning?

Fifth, and most critically, why should we lose our coffin book and let billions of aliens who are behind the times **** down? ”
