Chapter 102, Political Commissar Guo’s iron ambition (continued)
"...the nomadic tribes on the Mongolian Plateau, when natural disasters break out on the grasslands and their livestock die in heavy snow or drought, the nomadic tribes in desperate situations will never wait for death in peace, but will fight to the south and risk their lives. Rushing to the Great Wall at the border of the Han people. This kind of thing has happened countless times in history. Even the feudal literati in ancient China knew that famine on the grasslands heralded war disasters in the Central Plains.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the scholar-bureaucrats in the south of the Yangtze River once thought that no matter how devastated and war-torn Liaodong and the northwest became, they could still watch the fire and enjoy leisurely leisurely on the south bank of the Yangtze River, so they were determined not to pay taxes to the Ming court to use as military expenses. So in the end he was massacred by Manchu soldiers.
In fact, their idea cannot be said to be completely wrong. If the time is moved forward two thousand years to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, no matter what kind of natural or man-made disasters or barbarian invasions occur in the Qin and Yan States, it is difficult to imagine that they will be affected. To the distant countries of Wu and Yue. But the problem is that times have changed. Improved transportation conditions and the expansion of human vision have made various geographical barriers that were once out of reach no longer so insurmountable. ”
Professor Guo said to Levi calmly, "...Similarly, when the population crisis breaks out in Africa, the Middle East and South Asia, the humans there will not sit still and wait to die. They will starve to death or be beaten to death." , rushing desperately to Europe, to the Americas, to China and Southeast Asia, in an attempt to escape the death hell of the Malthusian population trap. The scene was probably like the barbarian invasion at the end of the ancient Roman Empire. Its scale and destructiveness were unmatched by previous refugee crises in Europe. Neither the Himalayas, the Tibetan Plateau, nor the vast sea could stop it. Their steps to survive, not to mention the border wall and border police.”
(Due to the advancement of transportation conditions, the scope of modern refugee movement and the scale of escape are much greater than in ancient times. For example, during the Syrian civil war, six million people in this "small country" with a population of 20 million actually fled abroad. Imagine if one-third of the Chinese population, that is, 100 million to 200 million Chinese, poured into Nanyang, India and the Soviet Union during the Anti-Japanese War, what a dramatic scene it would be)
"... Of course, with the foundation and strength of a modern industrial country, as long as it completely breaks through the lower limits of morality, becomes as crazy as the Nazis, and builds concentration camps, gas chambers and assembly line killing factories on the border, then no matter how many people come, Refugees can also be turned into industrial raw materials— —Hair is braided into carpets, human skin is peeled off into lampshades, fat is made into soap, and only numbers are left in the names... But the problem is, if such a massacre of one billion or even two billion people is really carried out, at that time Will the world still be the one we once knew?
Speaking of which, human life is just that. In many cases, taking away 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, humans rely on the two ropes of law and morality to restrain indiscriminate killings. But in order to organize such an unprecedented massacre, we will have to tear away these two ropes that were finally woven together. As a result, all warm and affectionate humanitarian thoughts will be stepped into the quagmire. Religious freedom and democratic human rights will never be respected again. Ethnic equality will become a joke under the butcher's knife. The jungle law of the jungle will return in the sea of blood. All kinds of cruel killing competitions will be regarded as commonplace. Executioners who massacre foreign civilians will be regarded as Idols and heroes, the social atmosphere of various powerful countries will be as barbaric and bloodthirsty as Nazi Germany and militaristic Japan...
What's more, those refugees will not sit still and wait for death. 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 out of the encirclement. , win a way out. Ideological confusion and social divisions will also occur within major powerful countries, so much so that they have to purge their own citizens before massacring refugees. There are also conflicts between powerful countries that will be detonated in the turmoil. Each other will try to use refugees to defeat their opponents, and they will even stab each other while dealing with the refugee crisis. All kinds of revenge and counter-retaliation will continue to escalate in blood and blood until they reach the point of hair-raising.
Moreover, an armed conflict of unprecedented scale like this is bound to usher in an era of great piracy in all oceans around the world, thereby interrupting the logistics channels of international trade, more seriously damaging the overall productivity of the earth, and reducing the population that the earth can support under the current level of technology. Numbers are down again. Supplies that are already in dire straits will be given greater priority to the military rather than to people's livelihood. The result is that the death toll will continue to soar.
However, if various industrialized countries are unwilling to break through their moral limits and continue to welcome an influx of refugees that exceeds their own population, then the fate of the so-called "civilized world" will only be worse - from the fall of the Roman Empire to the Five Husbands of China, There is also the refugee crisis that is currently raging in Europe. We can all see that the process of national integration is slow and difficult, and believers of certain religions even have no way to integrate. Even if it is temporary suppression and stability maintenance, we must throw away all the luxuries of the wealthy era such as human rights, freedom, and democracy, transform the country into a totalitarian system like the former Soviet Union, and treat foreign refugees like prisoners of war and labor reform prisoners. It is possible to successfully respond to a social crisis of this magnitude.
Therefore, I believe that in the near future, the most horrific human mass extinction event in history will occur on the earth. Its massacre, scale, and coverage will make the two worlds in the twentieth century The Great War pales in comparison, even the concentration camps of Nazi Germany were put to shame. Even if the great powers do not use nuclear weapons, at least a billion people and at least tens of thousands of cities will still be reduced to ashes in the blink of an eye.
What is even more frightening is that even after the refugee crisis is over, those industrial countries that have become completely red-eyed will still be careful to avoid a world war as in the past in the face of the reshuffled world situation, rather than being bellicose. Driven by madmen and military leaders, and with a sense of hostility, are they fighting each other? As Shakespeare said, 'All cruel pleasures must end violently'!
Of course, even so, in the overseas wars fighting for the sphere of influence in the Third World, the major powers should and can continue to maintain a tacit understanding not to use nuclear weapons or attack each other's homeland, just like the wars between modern European powers fighting for overseas colonies. But even if this is the case, its scale and intensity are at least equivalent to several or even a dozen Vietnam wars starting at the same time, and China is bound to be involved in several of them. Therefore, Comrade Li Wei, if my speculation comes true , then you and your son will usher in a period of war that will last for decades...
In fact, the prelude to this catastrophe is already happening in the Middle East. In recent years, as the cold nuclear fusion Ark reactor obtained from the Marvel world has been gradually put into use in our country, the price of oil in the international market has begun to fall significantly. Famine and turmoil in the Middle East and North Africa are rapidly escalating. Even oil tycoons like Saudi Arabia are gradually unable to stabilize the domestic situation. Relations between our country and Arab countries have also deteriorated. Terrorist activities in the northwest are becoming more and more rampant. The Central Government The repressive tactics are also becoming more and more severe.
After the alien spacecraft at the Pearl River Estuary was repaired and tens of thousands of tons of lunar dust rich in helium 3 were mined from the moon, several major oil-exporting countries were in a state of financial collapse and banknotes were turned into waste paper. Israel Some Jews have even begun to immigrate to Europe and North America again, just like they flocked to Palestine from all directions in the last century. There are even many people lining up in front of the Chinese Embassy, hoping to get Chinese green cards. As for Black Africa, the import and export trade volume with my country has also begun to shrink, but arms sales are becoming increasingly popular..."
Having said this, Political Commissar Guo spread his hands, "...No matter how you look at it, the future prospects of these areas are very, very bad!"
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ ※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
"...Uh...it does sound scary." Levi couldn't help wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, "...In this case, our country has obtained so many black technologies, why can't we think of ways to win them over? How about saving the world from this catastrophe?”
"...Why don't you give them a hand? Alas, people can only survive by saving themselves, how can they expect others to save them?"
Political Commissar Guo shook his head, "...We can't save them. First, if we want them to survive the crisis of the population explosion, we must transfer to them a complete industrial system, at least a modern agricultural system, and Increasing the food production capacity of Africa and the Middle East will not only do little good to China, but will also seriously damage the interests of the United States and Europe, and will definitely be disrupted and attacked by European and American forces.
Second, and even more terrible is that even if Europe and the United States give the green light to let it go, Africa and the Middle East will not be able to accept this industrial system! Because the industrial system cannot be completed by just buying a lot of machines and building factories and roads. It also requires cultivating talents to operate the machines and establishing a set of corresponding political and social systems. But these guys in Africa have been lazy for so many years, and the illiteracy rate has never been reduced. Now that we are facing a catastrophe, it is too late to train technical talents from scratch! And their loose, smoky political system and tribal social system do not have the strong execution capabilities 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. Although they seem to have more universities, most of the courses they teach are liberal arts and theology. Talents in science and engineering are really scarce. Even those who can get a doctorate in theology or law can't work in industrial construction. What's the use for it?
South Asia's industrial base is almost adequate, but there are too many political and social shortcomings, the population is more crowded, and the prospects are not optimistic either. Third, even if their mental strength is overwhelming, they have managed to cobble together a group of technical talents. However, the modern food production systems in Eastern and Western countries are now built around the three major food crops of corn, wheat and rice. In tropical Africa, the main food crops are cassava and bananas. Corn, wheat and rice always do not grow well on black people's territory. Therefore, Africans cannot yet copy agricultural machinery, equipment and operating procedures from China, Europe and the United States. Instead, they have to reinvent and design a modern tropical food crop production system around the large-scale production of bananas and cassava, including breeding, sowing, Harvesting, warehousing, processing and many other aspects have to be explored and studied by oneself - even developed countries are not sure that such a huge system design can be handled well. Can Africans master it in a short time?
Fourth, even if all this succeeds and their food production scale increases to the level of developed countries in a short period of time, if their birth rate cannot be reduced, it will only delay rather than eliminate the population crisis - unit land There is a limit to the amount of food that can be harvested, and there is nothing you can do if it reaches a certain level. But the question is, from Africa to the Middle East to South Asia, which country has implemented family planning?
Fifth, and the most critical point, why should we lose our own coffins and let billions of aliens who have lagged behind the times be massacred? ”
