Chapter 726: 2012 End of the World

It is very difficult for China to feed 1.4 billion people, and it has to buy a lot of food from the outside world. Therefore, countries such as Europe and the United States blamed China for the world food crisis in previous lives. Today, the Williams Empire has a population of more than 1.5 billion, and the vast majority of new humans who have taken genetic evolution medicine eat almost twice as much as ordinary people! To feed so many people, the food needed is definitely an unimaginable astronomical figure!

Fortunately, the transformation plan of the Sahara desert is going very smoothly, providing a lot of food. At the same time, the establishment of a huge ocean-going fishing fleet has greatly eased the pressure on food. In addition, the Williams Empire has further strengthened the development of marine resources!

As we all know, in the vast and fertile ocean, in addition to all kinds of animals, there are also a wide variety of marine plants in various poses! Submarine plants are the fertile grassland of the ocean world. It is not only the natural grassland of marine fish, shrimp, crab, shellfish, sea animals and other animals, but also the green food of human beings, and it is also the provider of industrial raw materials and agricultural fertilizers with wide uses. Or, it is also an important raw material for the manufacture of marine medicines. Among them, kelp is a seafood that Chinese people like to eat very much. I think everyone is very familiar with kelp. It is not only full of seafood, but also rich in nutrients, containing iodine and other minerals and vitamins, which can prevent and treat thyroid (commonly known as big neck) disease. In addition, seaweeds with edible and medicinal value include seaweed, wakame, agarose, etc. that are more familiar to everyone.

People in eastern countries such as China and RB have a very long history of eating seaweed and using seaweed as medicine, and there are also records in history that British seamen used red algae to prevent and treat scurvy. In addition, the Irish people also have historical records of relying on red algae and green algae to survive famine years. Right now, in order to solve the food problem, the Williams empire encourages everyone to eat more seaweed, preferably as common as Americans and British eat tomatoes!

It is often said that the mountain relies on the mountain to rely on the water to drink water. The Williams Empire is located in the Indian Ocean, which has a natural geographical advantage. Of course, it must eat the Indian Ocean! Henry hopes that more than half of the food in the future can be obtained from the ocean. The huge ocean resources are almost endless, and the resources that humans can use currently only account for a very small part, and their development potential is huge!

In addition, there is another continent located in the south of the Williams Empire——Antarctica. It is still a piece of virgin land, waiting for someone to cultivate it! It's just limited by the Antarctic Treaty, which prohibits any country from occupying Antarctica, otherwise, the flag of the Williams Empire will definitely be planted on it, declaring sovereignty! Although it is bound by the Antarctic Treaty, it does not prevent the Williams Empire from establishing bases or cities there. Henry thought to himself, anyway, I have circled the place first, can you still let me swallow it?

Antarctica is rich in natural resources, but the extreme environment has discouraged countries all over the world. However, this is exactly a challenge for the Williams Empire! ! !

Deserts and glaciers are extreme environments, but Mars is even worse! If neither the Sahara Desert nor Antarctica can be transformed, how can Mars be transformed? !

By the end of 2011, the Williams empire had established 45 bases in Antarctica, ranking first among all countries!

Williams Palace.

Violet brought the GDP report for this year, and Henry was taken aback when he saw the data. In 2011, the GDP of the Williams empire reached 31.5 trillion US dollars. Compared with the 12 trillion US dollars of GDP of the United States this year, this is almost the same as hanging!

Of course, there are many reasons why the Williams empire is so big, especially the extra bonus points of the Williams red card, which made the economy of the Williams empire develop rapidly, and the US economy was hit hard by it. , Even many Americans immigrated directly to the Williams Empire, taking away a lot of wealth! What's more, with the rise of the Williams Empire and China's manufacturing industry, the American manufacturing industry has suffered an unprecedented blow. The most obvious example is the rise and fall of a city!

In the first half of the last century, with the advent of the automobile industry, Detroit developed at an astonishing speed. It used to be the fourth largest city in the United States, and it was even known as the City of Automobiles in the world, with the highest per capita income in the country! But the rate at which the city has shrunk in recent decades has been equally astounding. Detroit, which had a population of 1.8 million in 1950, now has only 700,000, and thousands of abandoned buildings, vacant lots and darkened streets.

Detroit, the once prosperous city of the automobile industry in the United States, has now become a ghost town, and no one cares about it. A local resident told the New York Times: Detroit is not a city anymore. It has disappeared.

In fact, it was not Detroit that disappeared, but American manufacturing! ! !

In the past, the United States was far ahead in the field of manufacturing with its advanced manufacturing technology and complete manufacturing system, leaving the world behind. In the early 1950s, its manufacturing value added accounted for about 40% of the world's total. Made in America ​​products are sold overseas and have established an unshakable position in the world. However, after entering the 21st century, the status of the world's manufacturing factory of the United States was gradually replaced by China, and now it will be replaced by the Williams Empire. The world share of industrial output value has dropped to 8.5%, seriously affecting the number of American jobs and economic recovery.

Henry put down the GDP report and said with a smile: The United States is making a fool of itself. The GDP is less than half of our Williams Empire, ha ha...

Yes, Your Majesty! Today, our Williams Empire is the most powerful country in the world!!! Violet said proudly.

2012 is coming, didn't someone say that the ancient Mayan civilization predicted the end of the world this year? In my opinion, the end of the world may not be possible, but the end of the United States is possible! Henry smiled meaningfully, Said, The specific time is December 21, 2012!

Yes, Your Majesty. Willie replied with a nod.

Very good, launch a war against the United States that day, and destroy the status of the United States in the world in one fell swoop!!! Henry snapped his fingers and said with a final word.
