Chapter 469: Codename "Rainbow Feathered Serpent"
January 1, Republic 2768 (1927). Hankyung.
It has to be said that since the beginning of the 20th century, war has become the theme of the world, and in the past 26 years, the world has been truly peaceful for less than a year.
After the venting of the First World War, the exhausted new and old hooligans finally stopped, but the colonial independence and liberation movement set off an upsurge, and the vast number of Asian and African people shed their blood in order to fight for independence and freedom, and launched attacks on the evil colonialists one after another.
But this is not the end of the war, South America, which was not originally involved in the war, has started a full-scale war again. It was the largest war ever fought in South America, and all the countries of South America were involved.
This "all-out war in South America" is a real chaotic war, and it is difficult to distinguish the big brawl between camps. At first, it was the "AB War", Brazil and Argentina were pinched, and Uruguay was divided into two factions, most of them joined the Argentine camp, and a few joined the Brazilian camp. Then came the "Valley of the Mansion War" in which Bolivia invaded Paraguay. Then came the "CVE War", in which Venezuela and Ecuador joined forces against Colombia. Then Peru joined the Colombian side and invaded Ecuador. Finally, Chile's war against Peru and Bolivia under the pretext of rescuing Paraguay and Ecuador.
However, for the Chinese, this is too far away, and the war across the Pacific Ocean really cannot affect their lives. The only thing affected is the decline in the volume of imports and exports to South America, but this is not an irreparable loss.
Reconstruction is now underway in all European countries, and large-scale construction is also underway in China and in the member states of the WPF. And after Stalin purged the Trotskyists, the Soviet Union also started the First Five-Year Plan earlier than the original time and space. At the same time, their sworn enemy, the White Russians, was desperately farming. Now there is no shortage of buyers for industrial and agricultural products, and goods that were originally exported to South America are supplied to these places.
As for imported goods, South American countries provide mainly mineral resources, timber and agricultural products. With Mr. Wen's temperament, he has never put his eggs in one basket, and there is not only one supplier for these resources. Even the copper mines, which import the most, also have other channels, such as the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Red and White Goose. Even China's own territory has a lot of copper mines, but it is not mined in large quantities.
In recent years, under his orders, China has built a huge amount of material reserve warehouses in the deserts and deserts in the northwest, and over the years, China has imported many mineral products that exceed the actual demand. Every year, minerals in excess of demand are sent to these places as strategic reserves in the form of concentrate fines or ingots of metal. As for oil depots, gas depots, grain depots and the like, there are many cold stores in several provinces and counties near the Arctic Circle for storing meat, fish, vegetables and fruits. According to the different types of these reserve materials, the minimum half-year consumption in the country and the maximum three-year consumption standard are reserved. There is no limit to certain special materials, such as uranium ore, tungsten ore, chrome ore, etc.
Therefore, although the war in South America has some impact on China, it is definitely not big. Of course, for some enterprises and individuals who do import business with South America, this is more unlucky, and the transaction volume is more or less affected. In particular, those who specialize in doing business with Paraguay and Bolivia, two landlocked countries, are going to cry. However, these people are a minority after all, and the government and industry associations have come forward to reintroduce them to a few new channels, or change their careers to do other projects, which has also been solved.
Moreover, the total war in South America, while it took a toll on some businesses, it also prospered some industries and prospered others. That's right, because of the South American Neutrality Pact, arms cannot be sold to participating countries. But please note that you just can't sell finished arms, such as weapons and ammunition, while other things can be sold. Needless to say, food, medicine, clothing and other things, even those materials that can be used for military and civilian purposes are not within the scope of restrictions. The most important thing is that the machinery and equipment used to make weapons and ammunition, as well as all kinds of raw materials, are not restricted.
For example, on Christmas Day last year, the Germans brought a whole fleet of goods to Colombia. It's nothing, it's just a variety of machine tools such as stamping machines, stretching machines, and deep-hole broaching machines, as well as metal profiles such as copper sheets and seamless steel pipes, as well as various chemical raw materials such as nitric acid and fire wool. In addition, 1,000 engineers and skilled workers from Germany were hired, and it is said that they were trained for local people.
Of course, other powers are not stupid, and they also send some equipment and raw materials to various supporting countries, and even consider that the other side may not be able to operate, or the technical strength is insufficient, and even pack and send people together. Everyone is playing like this, and China is naturally following the trend.
Some people may ask, why is this protocol so big of the loophole? The answer is: it is normal for the bug to be big, and how to exploit the loophole if the bug is not big. To put it bluntly, international treaties are used to restrict ordinary countries, and those loopholes are specially prepared for the great powers. Those diplomats are not stupid, even if one or two can't think of it, how can they not think of all of them, so they are all deliberate. Of course, these loopholes are VIP benefits exclusive to the great powers, and if that ordinary country dares to play like this, the big hooligans will come to teach it to be a man in minutes.
However, the war that is currently going on in the world, whether it is a full-scale war in South America that broke out out of hatred and interests, or a war of liberation for the independence and freedom of the peoples of Asia and Africa, has nothing to do with China. For the vast majority of Chinese, these wars are just a talking point, so on this New Year's Day, the Chinese people are very happy, and they are not affected by these distant wars at all.
This morning, in accordance with the practice after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Wen Desi delivered a New Year's message for the year 2768 (1927) through official media such as China Radio International, China National Radio, and CCTV. In his speech, Mr. Wen summarized last year's work, put forward the outlook for this year's work, and then put forward his worries about the world situation, as well as his expectations and blessings for peace.
In his speech, Mr. Wen pointed out in particular: At present, the world is still very unstable, and many people in Asia, Africa and Latin America are still struggling with suffering. We call for peace and sincerely hope that the people of the world will work together to save all families from the threat of war, all people from hunger and cold, and all children to thrive in the sunshine of peace...... Finally, of course, colonialism and extremism of all kinds were condemned as usual, claiming that they are the greatest destabilizing factor in the world today.
The Chinese people naturally support General Wen's speech, and the people of the People's Revolutionary Union basically support it. The United States and the Western Covenant Organization, as well as Germany and the Allied Countries, also praised it, and they all felt that Mr. Wen said it too well, and this colonialism is bad. However, other countries do not think so, especially the Entente bloc composed of old colonial powers such as Britain and France, which is just a fart.
..................................................................
After delivering his New Year's speech, he returned to the presidential palace for a meeting with his confidants.
“...... At present, migration in South America has been suspended due to war. Since the founding of the country, China has begun to emigrate to South America, and reached its peak during the world war, and by the end of last year, China had emigrated a total of 1.2 million people to South America in 16 years. While intensifying immigration, we also call on Chinese in the United States and Europe to return to China or transfer to South America, plus the Chinese and Chinese who settled here before the founding of the People's Republic of China, the number of Chinese and Chinese Americans in South America has now reached more than 2.1 million......" Vice Premier Yuan Shikai flipped through his notebook and introduced the situation of Chinese in South America.
Not long after the founding of the People's Republic of China, immigration was divided into internal and external parts, and foreign immigration to the country was handled by the General Directorate of Naturalization, and the affairs of foreign immigration were assigned to the Immigration Department of the new management committee. Therefore, the matter of immigrating to South America is also the main management of Yuan Datou.
"At present, the main distribution of Chinese in South America is as follows: Chile has the largest number, with 610,000, mainly distributed in the Chinese autonomous region in northern Chile. This is followed by Argentina with 580,000, mainly in the Papans steppe and coastal areas. The third is Brazil, with about 500,000, mainly in the Amazon plain and the northern coastal areas. Peru again, with about 320,000 in number, mainly in southern Peru. There are about 50,000 Chinese in Paraguay and 30,000 in Colombia......"
After the big head finished speaking, Zhang Lizheng said excitedly: "Mr. Wen, South America has finally started a complete fight, and now it looks better than we expected." Looks like we can prepare our next steps......"
Hearing this, Wen Desi and the others laughed happily.
"That's right, wait for them to fight, the more intense the fight, the better, and wait for them to fight almost. It's time for our immigrants to go in large numbers......" Wen Desi pinched his chin and said, "In addition, we must also find a way to let our people over there make more meritorious contributions and brush up more prestige, so that they can be put on the throne in the future." South America is different from Asia and Africa, and it will be difficult for us to grasp it directly, at least not in the near future. ”
Cavour nodded and said, "Mr. Wen is right, because of the Chilean matter, the reaction of the European and American powers has been great. Based on our intelligence, this should be close to their bottom line. We need to go further now, we can't pull too much hatred, and if the white world is all against us now, we will be very passive. ”
"That's right, so the most suitable means for us now is to gradually control the voice and political power in the place through immigration infiltration, and indirectly control the South American countries, if not completely, at least to increase our country's influence to the maximum. Zhang Lizheng smiled and said, "So this war came too timely, and our preliminary work was not in vain." Our plan is to send our people up through this South American melee......"
........................................................................
Mr. Wen has coveted this territory in South America for a long time, with rich resources, huge reserves, and rich natural resources. There is also vast arable land, which occupies four-fifths of the South American continent, but only a tenth of it has been used so far. On top of that, it's sparsely populated and easier to digest.
But it's not so easy to do here in South America, which is completely different from the situation in Asia and Africa. After all, the population of South America is mainly descended from European colonizers, and they have extremely close ties with the European and American powers. For example, in Indonesia and Africa, you can do whatever you want with the local indigenous people, and the great powers don't care about the lives of these people, but South America is different. Even in the eyes of the real whiteskins, these Latinas are not white, but they are closer than and yellowskins.
What's more, they are all civilized countries, even if they don't meet the standards of industrial countries, but at least they are modern countries, and they have some strength, which is not the same thing as those Ah San and Hei Shu in Asia and Africa. In addition, China's projection power is insufficient, and it is very reluctant to cross the Pacific Ocean to conquer this place. And that's not even counting the reaction of the European and American powers.
Therefore, for this, it is not possible to use too drastic and obvious means, at least until China grows strong enough to have the ability to single-handedly challenge the European and American powers and overthrow them all, otherwise it will be asking for trouble for yourself. Single-handedly taking on this kind of thing in the world sounds very funny, but if the strength is insufficient, it is an act of teasing home.
It is precisely because of these restrictions that Mr. Wen and others have planned an unprecedented subversive plan for South America. That's right, this "South American all-out war" can be said to have been single-handedly created by Mr. Wen and others.
Less than a year after Mr. Wen crossed over, he began to lay out. Before the founding of the country, many cyborgs of Latino appearance had been sent to infiltrate South America. After the founding of the country, trade with South American countries began, and through a large number of imports, exports, and investment, many communities of interest were gradually formed in the region. As for increasing the number of immigrants, changing the local demographic structure, and cultural exports, etc., I will not repeat them one by one.
In the past few years, China has greatly increased its influence in South America through various white, black, gray and other means, and gradually mastered a lot of social resources. And most of it is invisible, in a way that moisturizes things silently, or called "boiling frogs in warm water", because it is very hidden, it looks no different from before, so it has not attracted the attention of the European and American powers. Even if they vaguely felt something unusual, the World War I and the surging colonial independence movement that followed them were too exhausted to care about so much.
If South America maintains a state of peace, Mr. Wen will achieve his own goals, and it will take at least ten years for his own people to take control of the country. Because this involves making the candidate brush up enough prestige, occupy key departments, grasp national public opinion, and so on, these things will take time if they are in a normal way. Mr. Wen couldn't wait so long, and he didn't want to wait so long.
So he secretly provoked this South American melee. As we all know, in the human world, war is the most heroic social behavior, there is an old saying in China, "Troubled times produce heroes", foreign countries may not have this sentence, but there is no lack of such facts. At the same time, there is no faster way to make people rise than military feats.
In addition to bringing others to power, the war would also significantly depopulate South America, and when the war ended, all countries in South America would increase immigration due to lack of population. Then when the time comes, China's opportunity will come.
Another point is that it costs money to fight, don't look at the South American countries are living a prosperous life now, but once the war really starts, it won't last long. Even the opium cow, which has been plundering the world for hundreds of years, has become a debtor country after the two wars.
This is the plan of Wen Zong, which is multi-pronged by changing the local demographic structure, enhancing cultural exports, putting others in control of the government and army, and controlling the country's economy. So as to achieve the goal of mastering South America, at least most of South America.
This plan was named "Rainbow Feathered Serpent" by Mr. Wen, and it has been implemented since 1907 and has been 16 years now. Now, with the help of various forces and organizations, the countries of South America have really started a full-scale war, and all of them are involved.
Among the seven continents of the earth, South America has a small population, which is a little more than Oceania and Antarctica. Before the start of last year's Copa America, the population of each country was: Brazil 28 million, Argentina 11 million, Colombia 7.24 million, Peru 5.3 million, Chile 4.5 million, Venezuela 3.2 million, Bolivia 2.3 million, Ecuador 1.9 million, Uruguay 1.58 million and Paraguay 850,000. That's less than 66 million in total, and even if you add the U.S. state of Guyana, it's less than 68 million. This also includes 2.1 million Chinese.
As for whether the war in South America will achieve the goal of reducing the local population, Mr. Wen is not worried about this at all.
The ground in South America is very evil, don't look at these countries as if they don't have a sense of existence, but when it comes to the intensity of the war, they don't say that they are the first in the world, at least they can rank in the top three. The Paraguayan War of that year made Paraguayan men almost extinct, so that in the following decades, Paraguayan men could open harems as long as they functioned normally. The Valley of Edifice War in the original time and space also caused 70,000 deaths in Bolivia and more than 40,000 in Paraguay.
Besides, there is also the black hand of Mr. Wen, which will definitely make them unable to stop at all.
"Mr. Wen, it seems that Argentina and Chile do not have a dominant population, and we have to find a way to give them more support...... "Chief of General Staff Xin Jie said.
As everyone knows, war is a contest of comprehensive national strength, and when weapons and equipment are similar, population has become a very crucial factor. Argentina's population is less than 40% of Brazil's, and Chile's population is not large among South American countries.
"Well, it really needs to be strengthened, so it's up to you General Staff to come up with a plan. Besides, don't we have a lot of new weapons now, we can find a way to send some to them and test the actual combat effect on the battlefield......" Wen Deji smiled.
After the meeting, Wen Desi stood next to the world map, showed a harmless smile of humans and animals, and whispered to himself: "...... Do you think I have come to bring peace to the earth? I tell you, no. I have come to throw fire on the earth, to cause strife, to cause strife, to call the sword to the earth."

PS: It's the middle of the month, ask for tickets, ask for recommendations, ask for subscriptions, and ask for all kinds of ...... Even if you add the U.S. state of Guyana, it's less than 68 million. This also includes 2.1 million Chinese.
