136 Chapter [-], This world that only kills but doesn't bury

As a global catastrophe of abnormal climate, when Europe and North America are groaning in the "year without summer" of hunger and cold, those living in other corners of the earth are naturally not immune to the disaster and watching the fire from the other side Luck, but "blessings are not shared, and difficulties are shared"...

As a close neighbor across the sea from Europe, North Africa also suffered heavy losses in the abnormal climate of the "Year without Summer", with the production of main crops reduced by a quarter. Fortunately, this place was not very populated—the first half of the [-]th century Ye, the population of North Africa has not experienced a big explosion like half a century later, and many urban populations have been killed by several nuclear explosions. After such a plus and a minus, there is not a big gap in the food supply in North Africa.In Egypt, because the urban population was wiped out by nuclear explosions and wars, the rural areas were not disturbed much. As a result, food exports increased greatly.

Of course, the extremely chaotic, bad law and order and bloody and brutal tribal conflicts still caused the population of North Africa to plummet this year. About 200 million people were lost.

On the other side of the Sahara Desert, the situation in West Africa is even worse than that in North Africa, because during the period when the US and Soviet armies faced each other across the desert, taking advantage of the temporary exhaustion of the US nuclear arsenal and the opportunity to be beaten one-sidedly, the Soviet Strategic Air Force More than 200 atomic bombs were dropped on this area one after another, and some port cities left over from the colonial era were completely destroyed.The white expatriates who could escape abandoned their belongings and went to South Africa in exile, while the blacks took off their pants and carried their spears to return to the tropical rainforest, allowing this land where the light of civilization was extinguished to return to the chieftain tribal rule mode before the Age of Discovery .As for the number of deaths during this period, it is basically impossible to count. Some say 200 million, and some say 2000 million...

Going further south, South Africa, which is located at the southernmost tip of Africa, has become a super big winner in this nuclear catastrophe.Not only did it successfully get rid of the colonial rule of the British Empire, and since then it has become its own master, but it also took advantage of the destruction of the United Kingdom, the acquiescence of the Soviet Union and the helplessness of the United States to forcibly seize the legacy of the British Empire in Africa, under the banner of the "Southern African Community", Taking the small half of Africa south of Angola into their pockets and making it their own exclusive sphere of influence, and even directly poaching a considerable part of the Allied troops in Africa, they really made a lot of money.

Fortunately, while establishing an independent country, South Africa successfully withdrew from the war and established diplomatic relations with both the United States and the Soviet Union. A neutral country——In the foreseeable future, South Africa can not only use its status as a neutral country to resell goods in short supply to make huge profits, but also to build bridges in the mediation of peace talks and share various benefits.

In addition, with the destruction of Europe, North Africa, and West Africa, millions of white immigrants rushed south, sending the South African regime, which had been suffering from underpopulation (here specifically referring to whites, blacks were not counted as people in South Africa at that time), a sudden death penalty. The arrival of a large number of high-quality human resources, as well as a large amount of capital and technology, made the South African Federation, which had just established its own country, overjoyed, thinking that they must have been blessed by God and destiny.Some of the most radical, confident, or arrogant South African politicians have even begun to shout the slogan "Africa is Africa for Africans".

The fly in the ointment is that most of South Africa is located on the plateau, which belongs to the savannah climate and lacks precipitation. Most of the land is not suitable for farming, and the land available for reclamation only accounts for about one-eighth of the total area of ​​the country. Animal husbandry is the main industry, and agriculture has never been a strong point.When the population was sparse in the past, South Africa was still self-sufficient in agricultural products and could even export a small amount of surplus food.

However, today, on the one hand, a large number of white refugees are pouring in from the north, and on the other hand, crop production has been reduced due to climate variability. As a result, the food supply situation in South Africa has also become tight.Although South Africa is famous for being rich in gold and diamonds, and has never been short of hard currency, the world is now struggling with climate change and famine. Even if South Africa is willing to take out gold, it is still very difficult for South Africa to import food from abroad. difficulty.

For this reason, although South Africa did not participate in the world war, it still implemented a food rationing system at the beginning of its founding to reduce food consumption and waste.At the same time, regardless of the plight of famine in tropical Africa, they intensified the search for these areas, and plundered a large amount of sorghum and corn, as well as cassava flour and dried bananas from the mouths of black people in East and West Africa. A food ration of [-] calories per person per day was guaranteed for the white citizens of South Africa.As for how many black uncles in Congo, Mozambique, Rhodesia and Nigeria will starve to death, no one cares.

At the same time, the Middle East has become the main combat direction for the Soviet Red Army to show off its might this year.Since the Kremlin decided to abandon Western Europe, more than 200 million Red Army troops have been thrown into the battlefields of Asia Minor and Iran, setting off endless bloodbaths on this dry and rugged land—the same as those who were called "democracy, freedom, human rights, and the rule of law" in later generations. Unlike the American soldiers who have their hands and feet bound, in the face of the merciless steel tyrant Comrade Stalin and the "Cheka" fighters who rule all kinds of disobedience, even if it is replaced by Al Qaeda to carry out resistance movements, it is also like a car.

In general, after experiencing the simultaneous bombing of more than 20 nuclear bombs, continuous carpet bombing, and several urban offensive and defensive battles that seriously violated the spirit of humanitarianism, the Turks living in Europe have basically become extinct. The number of Turks in Asia Minor has also decreased to less than 800 million. Among them, 200 million Turks are being held in various labor camps on charges of terrorists or "suspected terrorists". Doing hard work day and night - without having to consider any public opinion issues or whether the cost is too high, it is actually not very difficult to suppress the resistance of the people in the occupied areas with modern killing methods. It's all bad tricks, otherwise how did Europeans colonize the world in the past?The Kurds, who were allies of the Soviet Union and the enemies of the Turks, took over their fields and houses with great joy, and even took over their wives and daughters. It was true that "the stones have to be overdone, and the population has to be changed"...

In fact, in the Kremlin high-level secret meeting, there was once a "final solution" to the Turks' problem, which was to ensure the absolute security of the Bosphorus and Constantinople, which could be imitated The way the Chechens were treated in the past was to move the entire Turkish nation out of Asia Minor and throw it to Iran, Ethiopia or other faraway places, such as going to the Alaska peninsula to fight bears. Considering that if the Turks in Asia Minor are cleaned up too thoroughly, the Kurds may become too big, so that the front door rejects the wolf and the back door enters the tiger, so this proposal is still on hold for the time being.

Iranians also enjoyed similar treatment in front of the Soviet Red Army, but the Soviet army's interest in the Iranian plateau was obviously far less high than that of Constantinople. They invaded a small lowland plain on the south coast of the Caspian Sea and destroyed the Kingdom of Iran in Tehran. After the government, the Soviet Red Army sent to Iran temporarily stopped continuing to attack, but sat and watched the remaining Iranians kill each other in chaos and famine.

And the Arabs in the south, apart from being bombed by nuclear bombs, poison gas bombs, incendiary bombs and high-explosive bombs twice in three days for a period of time, killing more than 1000 million people, they are not within the direct attack range of the Soviet Red Army for the time being. Inside—After South Africa announced its withdrawal from the war and disarmed General Eisenhower and his troops and expelled them from East Africa, the Soviets basically stopped nuclear and conventional bombing of the Middle East.

But this does not mean that the Arabs will be able to enjoy peace from now on, because before that, as many as two hundred or more atomic bombs have destroyed most of the cities of a small size in the entire Middle East.The destruction of the governments of various countries has re-fragmented the entire Arab world, returning to the era of tribal rule, and quickly broke out warlords everywhere.The Soviet Union took the opportunity to maintain a certain degree of trade with the Arab world through several ports along the coast of Syria, exchanging the arms eliminated by the Red Army for the food that the Arabs picked out of their mouths—because the urban population that originally consumed these foods was in the mushroom cloud It disappeared, so the Middle East has become a food exporter again after thousands of years.

Looking east from Iran, the densely populated Indian subcontinent is still desperately struggling in the endless vortex of war, and the sharp reduction in food production caused by the "year without summer" has caused a The consequences are far more tragic than in peacetime-in the previous peacetime, whenever there was a sign of famine, the rulers of India would reduce taxes and give some relief measures to assist the victims.However, during the war, the limited resources were consumed and destroyed by the army, and no matter which side it was, no serious disaster relief measures were taken.

On the contrary, Nehru, who rules the most densely populated Ganges River Basin, in order to reverse the defeat of the previous stage, instead raised the taxation standard, took the last bit of rice from farmers, and used it to raise funds to import arms , which led to an unprecedented tragedy—in the upper reaches of the Ganges, according to a reporter’s description: “The bones of hundreds of thousands of hungry people covered the plains outside Delhi, and there were countless starving corpses floating on the entire Ganges.”In Bangladesh in the lower reaches of the Ganges, 1000 million people starved to death that year, and large tracts of farmland were abandoned, and the fields were overgrown with weeds, turning into unfathomable jungles.The few survivors had to subsist on herbivores and even cannibalism.However, almost all the warlords fighting each other on the Indian subcontinent showed no mercy for the deaths of the common people at the bottom, and even said openly: "...the famine is the fault of the poor. Who made them breed like rabbits?"

According to incomplete statistics, in 2000, the "Year without Summer", [-] million people died of war or starvation in India. This is really a sad figure.What is even more sad is that in the next year with an even weirder climate, more people will starve to death in India...

With the withdrawal of the British army, a power vacuum temporarily appeared in Southeast Asian countries.The Japanese navy, which has returned to Southeast Asia, seems to have little interest in other places other than occupying Singapore, a tiny place.Therefore, after being colonized for many years, the people of Southeast Asian countries finally ushered in a good time to be their own masters again.However, whether it is the Communist Party of Burma, the Communist Party of Vietnam, the Communist Party of the Philippines, the Communist Party of Malaysia, or the Thai republic government after the king was expelled, they all only have the name of a central government, and are unable to suppress the national territory for a while, and are still fighting endlessly with various separatist forces guerrilla warfare and counter-guerrilla warfare.As for Indonesia, a country with a vast territory of thousands of islands, after the nuclear explosion in Jakarta, it has completely fallen into anarchy of warlords and chiefs. More than 100 chiefs, large and small, and the Sudan and the military government are fighting each other. It is conservatively estimated that they have to split into Twenty or thirty small countries will do.

However, since the Icelandic volcano that erupted volcanic ash was far away on the other side of the world, at least in the year [-], the disaster situation in the entire Southeast Asian region was not significant, and life was relatively easy-if you do not consider various Messy words of armed conflict.

In the same way, the new Chinese government, which has initially completed the great cause of national liberation, is still carrying out the vigorous cause of suppressing bandits and marching into the border areas of ethnic minorities.In the face of land reform and trials, the armed forces of feudal landlords in various places continued to fight to the death even though they had no foreign aid.In just one year, 400 million people died in battle. The intensity of their resistance was much stronger than that of Generalissimo Jiang, but it was still useless in the face of the iron-blooded and ruthless Red Army.

Of course, compared with people on other continents who are dying in units of tens of millions, the Chinese people this year are considered too peaceful and happy. At least the climate anomaly caused by the Icelandic volcanic eruption has no obvious impact before the autumn harvest in East Asia. But if we wait until next year, it will be hard to say...

In the end, after briefly becoming the focus of the world's attention and the game center of the two camps, South America was first bombed with more than 100 atomic bombs in one breath, and died suddenly in less than two months. 2000 million people, and then, with the withdrawal of the U.S. Army, the Soviet Army, and the Japanese Army, they returned to South America in the Dark Ages, and once again pitifully became a corner forgotten by everyone—except for Chile, the only surviving country. , Other countries either lost their central government in the nuclear explosion, or fell directly into civil war, which is really appalling.

However, amidst the reduction in agricultural production caused by global climate anomalies, there are no obvious signs of famine in South America, because the big cities that used to consume the surplus food in the countryside were almost destroyed by the atomic bombs of the United States and the Soviet Union, and the export channels were also destroyed. They were all blocked by the world war.

In this way, the farmers on the Pampas Great Plains found that their crops suddenly had no sales market. Although the production was reduced a lot, they still could not be sold. Put it in the warehouse and hoard it, and prepare to see the situation...Of course, it is also possible to encounter bandits or bandits or an army that is more brutal than bandits and bandits, and even the food and money will be plundered.

And the Chilean government, which was extremely underprepared for the war, was able to use extremely low prices to purchase huge amounts of grain and fodder from neighboring countries, and then hoarded it as a national strategic reserve... However, although it became the great chaos in South America The number one winner among them, but the whole country of Chile is still extremely panicked. Most of the rich people are busy hoarding supplies in the remote countryside to secretly build shelters, and the poor in the city are also ready to flee at any time. ——Chile escaped the nuclear explosion this time.But the next wave of nuclear explosions may not have such good luck.

In this way, when the entire human civilized society is making great strides towards the dark abyss, the red and white camps that just kill and don't bury still don't have any idea of ​​sacrificing themselves to save the world, but continue to use all their energy to impose each other More damage——Since the B-36 "Peacemaker", a big toy that can achieve transoceanic bombing, the Americans have used Newfoundland as a base, and from time to time they have nuclear bombs on expeditions to Europe to gain a sense of presence: first in Ping An The night nuclear bombed Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, and sent a warm Christmas gift to the people of the Iberian Peninsula.Then on the last day of [-], Bordeaux and Brest in France were bombed as a New Year gift to the French people...

All in all, with the bells ringing to welcome New Year's Day, the people of the world bid farewell to the old year like purgatory, and will usher in an even more miserable New Year.

PS: The U.S. imperial division has always had a tradition of forcing rebellion against veterans. The Department of Defense actually requires California veterans to return the war allowance ten years ago!
Ten years ago, in the face of the long-awaited wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Pentagon used huge bonuses to encourage veterans to re-enlist in order to fill the vacancies. They handed over the money and had to pay interest on the grounds that they were too hasty when they signed the contract, and many people did not meet the standards and went to the front line-for example, they were too old, their education level was not enough, etc...

Moreover, many of these veterans have become disabled and the economy is very difficult. In order to spit out the money, they had to sell their houses-it was a loss of money and life!

And how much is the bonus received?Adding it all up is enough to buy an F-15 fighter jet, but for this, nearly 2 veterans have been cleaned up, which has chilled at least hundreds of thousands of soldiers.In addition, the U.S. military also stipulates that soldiers must conduct a collective review on the eve of leaving the battlefield. If they are found to be mentally ill, they will be forcibly discharged from the army, and there is no retirement pay or retirement guarantee. Then more than [-] people were found in Iraq—hey, for the motherland Taking drugs to participate in the war and becoming mentally ill, and being played like this after being discharged from the army, American soldiers are really miserable, and if they are any worse, they will become military households in the guard at the end of the Ming Dynasty.
