Chapter 444 Dead Loop
The aerospace fleet moved south along the border and then passed through the even longer Pakistan-Myanmar border.
Finally, the aerospace fleet entered the territory of Bolivar.
However, considering the huge size of the aerospace mothership, Cavo ordered the fleet to be divided into two. The flagship Quetzalcoatl 003 took four aerospace frigates to the Andes Mountains in Bolivar and stationed in the large basin in the middle of the mountains.
Quetzalcoatl 004, with the remaining four aerospace frigates, was stationed in Tarija Province in southern Bolivar.
They separated over Sucre, the capital of Bolivar.
Ten airships crowded over Sucre, like a huge dark cloud covering the sky, which greatly shocked the hearts of the local people.
at the same time.
South of Bolivar.
In the province of Tarija, the town of Yacueva borders the northern part of the Pampas Republic. This small town is right on the border, and about 32 kilometers to the south is the town of Aguaray in the Pampas.
Between the two towns is the railway between Bolivar and Pampas, so in order to guard against Homo sapiens, a brigade of the Pampas Army was stationed in the town of Aguaray.
Railway transportation between the two sides has also been suspended for more than two months.
The Bolivarian side doesn't care about this.
After all, after entering the system of Sapiens, Bolivar no longer needs the Pampas. Whether it is food, daily necessities, or medical care, the company's local production is increasing rapidly.
This is the benefit of in-depth cooperation with the Homo Sapiens Company. Various facilities will be improved quickly and agricultural self-sufficiency can be achieved.
In the past, due to the failure of the war, Bolivar lost its coastal areas to the Republic of Santiago, which resulted in Bolivar losing its access to the sea. In addition, due to anti-American reasons, Bolivar has been blockaded and its economy has not been able to develop.
Now that Homo sapiens have entered the scene, the region's economy is like taking a tonic pill, and every area is becoming visibly rich and prosperous.
This immediate effect quickly increased the local Bolivarians' favorable impression of the Homo Sapiens company.
The entertainment division of the Zhiren Company also quickly followed suit and sent a large number of propagandists and art performance troupes to Bolivar.
Through a series of combined punches of fists, economy, culture, model and welfare, the slight resentment in the hearts of the Bolivarians was also wiped out.
Anyone who dares to say bad things about the Sapiens company now will probably be beaten to death by the locals.
In the border town of Aguaray, the people of the Pampas are watching and envying the changes in Bolivar to the north .
In the town of Aguaray, you can receive various radio signals, TV station signals and network signals from the Sapiens company.
Especially for those rebellious young people, the more they are prohibited from browsing the relevant content of Sapiens Company, the more curious they will be about Sapiens Company.
The border can only block the entry and exit of physical bodies, but cannot block the exchange of electromagnetic waves.
Even if we buy communications shielding equipment from America, the effect will not be good.
Moreover, after the aerospace fleet arrived nearby, the signal blocking equipment became inexplicably scrapped.
The reason is naturally that the aerospace frigate uses a small amount of gamma rays to directly attack those signal blockers.
The Bolivian-Aguaray Railway was one of the pillar industries of the small town of Aguaray. With the closure of the railway, many small commodity middlemen lost their business.
Many local people who worked for middlemen also lost their jobs.
Although America has given the Pampas more than 20 billion in aid, the effect has been mediocre. The unemployment rate in the Pampas remains high and inflation is still running at a historical high.
Even because of this aid from America, inflation in the Pampas has further increased.
The reason is very simple. The aid will definitely not be distributed to everyone. After going through layers of hands, large companies and related groups will eat up the money first, and then the consumption capacity of these special groups will increase.
The problem is that ordinary Pampas people hold local currency and have no jobs. The Pampas peso continues to depreciate and prices are still rising. The two combined directly amplify the effect of inflation.
In order to appease the people, the bosses gritted their teeth and squeezed out 500 million US dollars from more than 20 billion US dollars and distributed 10 US dollars worth of pesos to everyone.
Those big companies, together with international capital coming from America, would like to start building some infrastructure or opening some food processing plants.
It’s just that infrastructure investment requires official guarantees, and food factories need to have sufficient consumer markets.
America's own food factories are running at low capacity, yet it is still investing in the Pampas food factory. Who is it planning to sell it to? Are they trying to steal business from themselves?
ABCD's investments in agriculture and food in the Pampas have caused it to suffer huge losses in recent years. If it weren't for the support of the Wall Street financial group behind the scenes, it would have probably gone bankrupt several times.
Now ABCD only has a small market share left, and the market in underdeveloped areas has basically been snatched away by Homo sapiens companies.
Regions like the Pampas, which rely on agriculture as their pillar industry, were naturally affected and suffered terribly from the extremely low prices of food and agricultural products offered by the Sapiens companies.
There is no way to earn foreign exchange by exporting grain and agricultural products, and the country has to import large quantities of industrial products, so foreign exchange is being depleted bit by bit.
This is also the reason why America has given the Pampas more than 20 billion US dollars but still cannot pull back the Pampas economy. Unless America subsidizes the Pampas with tens of billions of dollars every year, this big hole will never be filled.
In fact, it is not just the Pampas. Kangaroo Country, New Zealand, and Maple Leaf Country, all these traditional agricultural and mining areas, are facing this fatal problem.
Global food and agricultural product prices are running at low levels, and bulk minerals are also running at low levels.
This has led to a rapid decline in the scale of agriculture and mining in these regions, which in turn has led to an increase in unemployment rates and an increase in the scale of bankruptcies of small farmers. The large-scale unemployment and bankruptcy have led to sluggish domestic consumption, which in turn has led to a decline in consumer demand for industrial products.
The decline in consumer demand for industrial products is mainly reflected in mobile phones, computers, cars, home appliances and luxury goods, as these things are non-necessities of life.
The "Industrial Revitalization Plan" recently promoted in America focuses on semiconductors, automobiles, home appliances, shipbuilding and large-scale infrastructure.
Apparently this industrial revitalization plan revitalized loneliness.
After all, the intensity of work in North America has increased, but wages and benefits have decreased, which has led to insufficient domestic consumer demand, and now the domestic demand for industrial products among a number of smaller companies is also insufficient.
There are not a large number of underdeveloped regions to dump products, and even the European Union is forming its own small circle and is on guard against America causing trouble.
The Far East will cooperate with Russia to develop Central Asia and Siberia, and will not want American industrial products.
The West Asian market is now a battlefield, with products from Sapiens, Far East and Europe all competing in West Asia.
The Latin American market is also a hotly contested market.
After America's industrial products are produced, to whom can they be sold? Without a consumer market, private enterprises under the free market mechanism cannot operate.
Without production, how can we talk about industrial revitalization?
This is a vicious cycle.
Even now, the free association led by America is full of internal contradictions.
The reason is that America itself wants to carry out an industrial revitalization plan, but the problem is that it also has two younger brothers whose main core industries are pure industrial exports, namely South Korea and Japan.
Of course, America actually has another choice, which is to give up the revitalization of its own industry, return to the game of globalization, distribute the industry to its younger brothers, and continue to reap military and financial benefits.
However, this path is no longer feasible because North America does not develop industry. If it continues like this, it will be ruined and there will be no way to resist the threat of Homo sapiens.
