    Chapter 101, Political Commissar Guo¡¯s Iron Ambition (Part 2) ¡°I remember when I was just born, the world¡¯s population was only 5 billion, but at that time, the global public opinion media was already exclaiming about the population explosion.  , the voice of the earth being overwhelmed. Today, the total population of the world has reached 9 billion, and it is likely to exceed 10 billion in a few years. Due to technological advancement, the average energy and material consumption per person.  The quantity has also increased a lot compared to fifty years ago" At the beachside food stall table with messy cups and plates, Political Commissar Guo drank raspberry wine slowly while talking to Levi, "especially the Sahara.  Black Africa, south of the Great Desert, had only 200 million people during World War II, which was equivalent to half of China's population. Even in the 1980s, there were only 400 million people there. But now, the population of Black Africa is larger than that at the time of World War II.  It has increased tenfold to two billion. Then there is Bangladesh, which is only a small piece of land like the Ganges Delta, but there are 250 million people crowded in it! There are also Pakistan, the Middle East and North Africa, the same.  The population has increased dramatically. Not to mention India has surpassed China and become the most populous country in the world for many years. Then, the question becomes, with the current level of science and technology and productivity of mankind, can the earth support such a large population?  I have conducted a long period of investigation and research around this issue, and the final conclusion is: Unfortunately, although the scientific and technological level has barely been reached, due to the political and economic system and racial divisions, all mankind is destined to be unable to work together to achieve the goal.  A wonderful tomorrow. Many years ago, I went to Africa with a Chinese volunteer medical team to fight against the Ebola epidemic, and I saw with my own eyes what a big city with a million people looked like.  , there is no sewer, and rainy season floods are mixed with sewage flowing across the streets. There are more than 6 million people in the country, and there are only more than 100 poorly qualified doctors and six ambulances. Every year, people die of malaria and cholera.  Thousands of people. Before the arrival of the Chinese medical team, half of the local doctors had died, and half had fled, leaving the hospital full of patients. The so-called local nurses couldn't even draw blood, and they didn't obey at all.  The commander of the medical team refused to save their compatriots. They only knew that they were going on strike and asking for wages. If they did not take the opportunity of the Ebola outbreak to make a big fuss, they would be even more unable to get their back wages back. This is an African country.  The social landscape of Sierra Leone: Although many people died due to Ebola during that period, more people died due to riots and repression than from Ebola. In recent years, I heard that there was another civil war there.  , the situation has not gotten better, but has become worse. What¡¯s more, despite the civil war and the plague, the population in black Africa is still rising against the trend, and it is not decreasing. After all, Sierra Leone.  It is just a small country, far from being the place with the most serious population crisis in Africa. As far as I know, the most shocking place with this problem is Lagos, the capital of Nigeria, with a total area of ??only 3,600 square kilometers.  Twenty percent of the area is still water, but the population living in Lagos is as high as 35 million!  Both the total population and population density are higher than our Shanghai!  But Lagos is not an industrial and commercial metropolis like Shanghai. There are no viaducts and small high-rise apartments in Shanghai. There are only shabby slums in the slums. There is no running water or electricity, no public transportation and sewers, and there are no jobs in Lagos.  Out of a population of 35 million, only two to three million are engaged in occupations such as foreign trade, petroleum, and administration, and receive a fixed salary every month. There are still millions of people who serve those in front of them and just go about their lives. As for the rest,  There are more than 20 million black people To be honest, I can't understand how they survive in the city. I speculate that they may be like Sanmao in "The Wandering Story of Sanmao", begging and picking up.  Those who pick up garbage, those who peel off bark from trees" "Well, this does sound quite pitifulbut so what?  Isn¡¯t this how Africans have always lived?  " Li Wei shrugged his shoulders without sympathy, "In old China before liberation, the lives of the common people might have been even worse than them!  " "The problem is that Nigerians can hardly survive even these days, but their population continues to grow!  Political Commissar Guo explained, " No matter how bleak the old China was during the Republic of China, it was still an agricultural country.  But Nigeria and many African countries simply don¡¯t even qualify as agricultural countries!  Even food must be provided by the United States or Argentina!  "    "¡­¡­Well?  Is it because the land there is too poor for farming?  "Levi frowned and said. "On the contrary, Nigeria occupies the best arable land on the earth, with a total area of ??920,000 square kilometers.The cultivated land accounts for 65%.  After excluding cities, rivers, and protected areas, the remaining cultivated land is about 600 million acres.  China¡¯s red line of arable land is 1.8 billion acres, and Nigeria¡¯s arable land is roughly equivalent to one-third of China¡¯s.  Due to its tropical climate, crops grow quickly and can reach three or even four or five crops a year. Therefore, the maximum population that Nigeria can theoretically support can reach about half of China.  Political Commissar Guo spread his hands, "but the problem is, the way Africans farm ishow should I put it?"  So rough!  Just get some seeds, then take a sharp-nosed hoe, dig a hole and drop the seeds.  Some of the laziest black people don't even bother to dig holes, and just throw them into the wild.  The land in Africa does not need to be plowed, and the soil is very soft without plowing, so a year's worth of farm work can be done in just one week!  In places like Congo and Cameroon, many wild fields on the roadside that look overgrown with weeds may actually be farmland on which local people rely for survival, but they are grown in this way.  With Africa's unique natural environment, you can actually get good harvests.  For example, many of the annual crops we know will become perennial plants on the land of Africa, growing endlessly due to the tropical climate.  China State Construction Engineering Corporation once went to Cameroon to carry out work and brought some cucumbers there and planted them next to the station.  As a result, without much fertilization, the cucumbers grew as big as winter melons, and they could be harvested for several years after planting.  There are also peppers. In tropical Africa, they have grown into pepper trees, which are five meters high. They have not finished picking them for three consecutive years.  After the Chinese construction team left, the local black people could continue to harvest As for potatoes, it was even more powerful. At first, I only planted a few, but after a few years, it automatically turned into a potato field larger than the square, without any need to rely on it.  Manual transplanting and so on" "This Since the land in Africa is so fertile, why can't we be self-sufficient in food?  "Li Wei asked strangely. "The problem is that just because the natural conditions are so good, black people have become lazy. They have no concept of hard work, no awareness of savings, and no understanding of what it means to be prepared for danger in times of peace in ancient times.  The Chinese will starve to death if they don't farm for a year or if the harvest fails. There are so many berries and nuts in their African tropical rainforests that even if the harvest fails, they can get by just by looking for some random wild fruits in the forest.  .  Therefore, African blacks have not had the habit of storing food since ancient times. There is food everywhere in the woods, so why eat stale food?  The result is that agricultural technology has never progressed, falling behind the slash-and-burn cultivation of China¡¯s pre-Qin era, and there is no motivation for improvement.  Even in black Africa, which has the most advanced agricultural civilization, the farmers there are just as lazy according to Chinese standards. Although they can grow crops for three seasons, the farmers there only grow crops for three seasons.  I am too lazy to plant more crops in one season, because the crops grown in one season are enough to eat, and the extra crops can be sold to the city to get some pocket money, so why bother with it anymore?  Wouldn't it be more comfortable to bask in the sun and blow off some sexy girls?  "The same goes for black people in the city.  In Europe, the Greeks and Spaniards have always had a reputation for laziness.  But if compared with black people in Africa, even the Greeks who only work from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. every day are already considered model workers. Those black people all demand a daily wage system. A day's work and a day's play are considered diligent, and a day's work is regarded as hard work.  Playing for three days is normal, playing for one day and for a week is considered lazy.  The monthly salary system makes it impossible to recruit people.  However, although tropical Africa is rich in food, it is not suitable for growing wheat, rice and corn. Well, it may be that the technology of black farmers is too poor to use it.  Although the fruits and tubers of the tropical rainforest are rich in nutrients, they are difficult to store for a long time like rice flour.  Therefore, Nigeria obviously has 600 million acres of arable land with at least three crops a year, but it actually imports nearly 10 million tons of wheat and corn from the United States every year to supply emerging large cities such as Lagos, and the cost of purchasing grains is  Rely on oil, minerals and so on.  Then, because black people have no sense of saving since ancient times, and most African countries have not maintained strategic grain reserves. As a result, when international food prices fluctuate, or financial resources dry up and they have no money to import food from the Americas, the black people in the countryside in their tropical rainforests have a better life.  You can live your life how you want, but the black people in the city who don't farm immediately starve everywhere.  "Professor Guo said, "It is not that politicians in black Africa have not considered this issue, but on the one hand, the United States has always been dumping food in Africa. Everyone knows that the three major world strategies of the United States are the oil strategy and the dollar strategy.  , food strategy.  Because the politics of African countries are not independent enough, they cannot withstand the pressure of food dumping from the United States. Therefore, African countries usually grow their own food and cannot compete with imported food, and they cannot afford agricultural subsidies.  On the other hand, modern agriculture is no longer just a simple matter of digging the ground and throwing seeds, but involves systematic breeding, agricultural machinery, agricultural chemicals and other majorindustries, as well as dozens of secondary industries.  Most countries in black Africa do not have decent steel plants and cannot manufacture complex agricultural tools on their own; they do not have modern chemical plants and cannot manufacture pesticides and fertilizers; their education rate is too low, and their illiteracy rate is much higher than that of old China.  Agricultural technicians are almost zero, and it is impossible to establish its own large-scale breeding companies; without the support of heavy industry, it is impossible to manufacture agricultural vehicles and tractors, water pumps and irrigation pipes; it lacks its own cement industry, so almost all irrigation canals in Africa are mud canals  , the embankments will burst once it rains heavily; the light industry is also extremely underdeveloped, so even the sprayers for spraying pesticides must be imported.  In short, modern agriculture is linked to modern industry and cannot be separated from each other. To build industry in backward countries, capital must be squeezed from agriculture before it can feed back to agriculture.  This relationship is somewhat similar to that of flowers and bees.  Flowers need bees for pollination to thrive, and bees need nectar to survive.  If Africans want to engage in modern agriculture like those in China, the United States and Europe, they must first establish a complete industrial system!  However, with the two industrial giants China and the United States crushing the world, it is almost impossible for African countries to develop industry What's more, with the lazy nature and hedonistic concept of black Africans, if they really want to  Like the Chinese in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, they squeezed out large sums of money to build industry at all costs and implemented family planning to limit the population. African politicians who dare to do such nonsense will definitely be driven out of office by the intolerable people.  Moreover, the European and American Western powers will also support agents to carry out destruction, and even we Chinese will take part in it.  Let¡¯s put it this way, if industrialization in old China was about as difficult as the universe, industrialization in black Africa would be at least as difficult as the universe, because even the language and characters had to be unified from scratch. As for making up for the ideological concepts,  , which can make any teacher despair.  Therefore, although after full development and utilization of modern technology, the vast fertile soil of black Africa is enough to feed two billion or even three billion people, due to various objective conditions, Africans can still only sit on so much.  Fertile land, but unable to develop modern agriculture on a large scale.  Just like the Indians in the Age of Discovery, they could not rely on the rich resources of the American continent to resist white invasion.  At present, black Africans can still survive by importing food from the West. Once Western agricultural countries such as the United States and Argentina stop exporting cheap food, or the African population further expands, and they cannot even pay for the purchase of minimum rations  Then, a mass death event that is far larger than the Rwanda genocide will happen in Africa in an instant, either suicide or homicide"?????????????????????? ¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù ¡°¡­In addition to the exponential growth in Africa¡¯s population in the past few decades, almost one person has two, two, three, and three, everything.  In addition to the rhythm, there are also countries in the Middle East and South Asia such as Egypt, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq, and India. The population growth rate is also crazy, and it has reached the point where even the US military bombs can't kill them.  In a sense, the situation of Arabs is more tragic than that of blacks, because if blacks work hard on their land or get technical support from a certain power, they can still grow some food before they starve to death.  The land and water resources of the Arabs have been developed to the limit long ago. No matter how they introduce modern industrial and agricultural technology, it is impossible to do better than now.  Since the beginning of the 21st century, Middle Eastern countries have been relying entirely on exporting oil and importing food to support an increasingly expanding population bomb.  The situation in the South Asian subcontinent is not much better, and due to their lack of oil, most Indians and Pakistanis are not as good as Arabs. According to the Chinese view, civil war should have started long ago.  But out of human instinct to reproduce, they are still giving birth to children as hard as they can, regardless of whether their country can support them.  As for the education of their children, there is no consideration at all. Anyway, the children should be born first, and then it will be the business of future generations.  When we Chinese want to have children now, we basically have to consider whether we can afford to send our children to college. We hope that our descendants can live a better life than ourselves. If we can't do that, we would rather have fewer children.  However, those countries in South Asia, the Middle East and Africa do not consider this kind of thing at all. Children are born in groups of ten or eight. Because their families are poor, they do not study at an early age and go directly to work. As a result, the illiteracy rate is higher than in the colonial era.  .  Such an illiterate population who know nothing about anything cannot actually be regarded as a labor force in a modern society with advanced science and technology. They have even been expelled from the ranks of workers. At best, they are at the same level as livestock.  In a world trade order dominated by industrial countries, there is no need forFor these low-quality people in highly automated modern manufacturing industries, it is far cheaper to upgrade software and update robots than to feed and train these illiterate people with no sense of discipline.  As long as automation technology continues to advance, developed countries will not hinder economic growth even if their population stagnates. At most, they will selectively accept some smart students from the third world.  As for the remaining billions of low-quality people who cannot engage in modern industry or modern agriculture, from the perspective of social productivity, they are simply redundant. They are no different from the disabled. They rely entirely on the kindness and kindness of others.  Charity makes a living.  However, both the kindness of people and the amount of surplus agricultural products in the world, specifically the cheap food available for sale on the international market, are limited within a certain period of time.  Once a certain threshold is exceeded, these excess populations are destined to be automatically eliminated and destroyed.  Just like the three-hundred-year cycle law that ancient Chinese feudal dynasties could never break through, when technological progress stagnated and land expansion stopped, the population that a civilization system can support is always limited. When the limit is reached, wars and massacres will automatically begin.  Waiting for the depopulation process.  ??Similarly, on today's earth, although technological progress has not stagnated, land expansion has stopped. Human beings only have one earth.  Moreover, technological progress cannot benefit the whole world due to political factors, and the allocation of various resources cannot achieve the optimal allocation with the goal of feeding the largest population due to the division of national boundaries and the flaws of the capitalist system. As a result, the earth can carry  The population limit falls further.  In this case, in order to restore human society to the "natural state", these overloaded poor people in the third world will be the first to lose the right to survive.  Their destiny includes famine, war, plague, massacre, ecological collapse The Second World War lasted for seven or eight years, but only 100 million people died.  Once the population collapse of the earth occurs, it is natural for billions of people to die a year. The Rwanda massacre is a clear example. Under the right conditions, the killing efficiency of rubber tappers and mountain axes is no more than that of atomic bombs and aircraft carrier battle groups.  Worse" Listening to Professor Guo's horrifying speculation, Levi's face turned pale, but he still retorted, " Even if the future prospects of Africa, the Middle East and South Asia are very scary, it has nothing to do with us.  What does it matter to the Chinese?  Even if Africans, Arabs and Indians starve to death by the thousands or kill each other until rivers of blood flow, our country will not be affected, right?  They can't fight again!  " "Hey, one billion and two billion people died in one breath on the earth, and you actually think this has nothing to do with China?  You are so superficial!  Today's earth is no longer the ancient situation where various continents have never interacted with each other!  Do you understand what global village means?  "Professor Guo drank a small glass of wine again, shook his head and smiled, "When hunger, turmoil and destruction come, do you think that the low-quality people in the third world who have been eliminated will stay at home and wait to be eliminated?  Hacked to death or starved to death rather than flocking to other parts of the world to find a way out?  "
