Chapter 705

It is very difficult for China to raise 1.4 billion people, so it has to buy a lot of food from the outside world. Therefore, previous European and American countries blamed China for the world food crisis. Today, the population of Williams empire is more than 1.5 billion, and the vast majority of new humans who have taken genetic evolution drugs eat almost twice as much as ordinary people! If you want to support so many people, the amount of food you need is absolutely unimaginable!

Fortunately, the Sahara Desert reconstruction project is going very smoothly, providing a lot of food. At the same time, the establishment of large-scale ocean fishing fleet also greatly eased the pressure of food. In addition, Williams empire is to further strengthen the development of marine resources!

As we all know, Zhou, in the vast and rich ocean, in addition to living in all kinds of animals, there are a wide variety of marine plants! Seafloor plants are the "fertile Grassland" of the marine world. They are not only the natural "pastures" of marine fish, shrimp, crab, shellfish, sea animals and other animals, but also the green food of human beings. They are also the suppliers of industrial raw materials and agricultural fertilizers with wide uses. They are also the important raw materials for manufacturing marine drugs. Among them, kelp is the seafood that Chinese people like to eat very much, so we must be very familiar with kelp. It is not only full of seafood, but also rich in nutrition, 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 are also known as Porphyra, Undaria pinnatifida, cauliflower and so on.

The people of China, Rb and other Eastern countries have a long history of eating seaweed and using seaweed as medicine, and there are also records in history that British sailors used red algae to prevent and treat scurvy. In addition, the Irish people also had records of relying on red algae and green algae to survive the famine years. At present, in order to solve the food problem, Williams Empire encourages people to eat more seaweed. It's better to be as common as Americans and Britons to eat tomatoes!

It is often said that "relying on mountains and relying on rivers", Williams empire is located in the Indian Ocean, with natural geographical advantages, of course, to eat the "Indian Ocean"! Henry hopes that more than half of the food in the future can be obtained from the sea. The huge marine resources are almost endless. At present, only a small part of the resources can be used by human beings, and its development potential is enormous!

In addition, there is another continent in the south of Williams Empire, Antarctica, which is still a virgin land and needs to be reclaimed! However, restricted by the Antarctic Treaty, it is forbidden for any country to occupy Antarctica. Otherwise, the flag of Williams empire will surely be put on it to declare sovereignty! Although it is bound by the Antarctic Treaty, it does not prevent the Williams empire from establishing bases or cities there. Henry thought, anyway, if I circle the place first, can you let me swallow it?

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

Deserts and glaciers are extreme environments, and Mars is worse than that! If neither Sahara 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 in all countries!

Villette brought the GDP report of this year. When Henry looked at the data, he was startled. In 2011, the GDP of Williams Empire reached 31.5 trillion US dollars. Compared with the US GDP of 12 trillion US dollars this year, this is almost the same as the sling!

Of course, there are many reasons why the Williams empire is so popular. In particular, the additional bonus provisions of the Williams red card made the economy of the Williams Empire develop rapidly, and the American economy suffered a heavy blow. Many Americans even immigrated directly to the Williams Empire and took away a lot of wealth! Moreover, with the rise of Williams Empire and Chinese manufacturing industry, American manufacturing industry has been hit unprecedentedly. The most obvious example is the rise and fall of a city!

In the first half of last century, with the arrival of the automobile industry, the development speed of Detroit was shocking. It was once the fourth largest city in the United States and the world-famous "Automobile City". Its per capita income was the highest in the country! But in recent decades, the city has shrunk at an equally astonishing rate. Detroit, with a population of 1.8 million in 1950, now has only 700000, and thousands of abandoned buildings, vacant land and dark streets.

Detroit, once a prosperous automobile city in the United States, has become a ghost town. Local residents told the New York Times: "Detroit is no longer a city, it has disappeared."

In fact, it's not Detroit that has disappeared, it's the manufacturing industry in the United States!!!

Once upon a time, with its advanced manufacturing technology and complete manufacturing system, the United States was far ahead of the world in the field of manufacturing. In the early 1950s, the added value of its manufacturing industry accounted for about 40% of the world's total. The products labeled "made in America" were sold overseas and established an unshakable position in the world. However, after entering the 21st century, the status of the "world manufacturing factory" of the United States has gradually been replaced by China, and now it will be replaced by the Williams empire. The voice of the United States in the field of manufacturing industry has weakened year by year. Especially after the outbreak of the financial crisis, the share of the world's manufacturing output value of the United States has dropped to 8.5%, which has seriously affected the employment and economic recovery of the United States.

Henry put down the GDP report and said with a smile: "the United States is making a fool of itself. Its GDP is less than half of that of our Williams empire. Ha ha..."

"Yes, your majesty! Today, our Williams empire is the most powerful country in the world! " Said Villette with pride.

"2012 is coming. Didn't some people say that the ancient Mayan civilization predicted the end of the world in this year? In my opinion, the end of the world is not necessarily, but the end of the United States is possible! " Henry gave a meaningful smile and said, "it's December 21, 2012."

"Yes, your majesty." Willy nodded back.

"That's very good. On that day, we launched a war against the United States and destroyed the status of the United States in the world at one stroke!" Henry snapped his fingers and said.
