Chapter 1726: Continue to Deal with the Aftermath (Please Give Me a Monthly Ticket!!! Please Subscribe!!)

Kai stayed in Colombia for three days. On the first day, only Kai, Tony and local residents helped with disaster relief, but there were many problems. After all, the whole city was paralyzed, there was no water, no electricity, and food was also scarce. In just one day, I don’t know how many people died because of the delay in disaster relief.

This made Kai very unhappy, so when he talked to the White House again, he scolded the people in the White House, but the people in the White House were not very angry... After all, half of the money of politicians is earned by being scolded, and you can’t be a politician without thick skin.

Of course, I will still feel aggrieved. Damn, that is Colombia, not the United States. What does the disaster there have to do with us?

Of course, this is just said in private, and I dare not say it openly. As the international status of the United States declines, it will pay more attention to the land of South America. Because of the good geographical environment, the land of South America is very closed, and other powers have no good way to intervene. After all, the United States has regarded South America as its own backyard since before World War I, and its control over it is not comparable to other regions.

Here, they have a large number of supporters, and they have been stirring up trouble in South America for too long, resulting in the entire South America being a mess. The mess here does not only refer to the relationship between countries, but even many South American countries themselves are a mess. Even Brazil, which seems to have the best economy, is actually a mess. Each political family is equivalent to a local emperor in its own sphere of influence, and the United States has a very close relationship with these local local snakes.

This has led to the inability of the entire Latin American world to form a united front against the United States.

So it can be said that Latin American countries are overseas territories of the United States. Now that the overseas territories are in big trouble, it is their due responsibility to solve them.

Another thing is that Kai scolded them to let the White House put pressure on the Colombian government. Damn, Colombia is such a small place. The government's rescue team should have crawled there even if they had to? What was the result?

Kai waited for a day, but no one came.

The White House was also helpless about this. They did urge the Colombian government to carry out disaster relief a long time ago. But the problem is that the Colombian government itself was also in a mess.

There is no other reason, just pure fear.

Although the Americans said that Titan had left, who knows if it was true or not?

This is the case with Latin American countries. Although they are said to be one country, they are actually not familiar with each other at all. There are also many contradictions between their local forces. Coupled with the problem of Titan, this leads to chaos in the administration of the national government.

This is also an old tradition in Latin America.

Fortunately, people finally came the next day. After all, it would be too much if they didn't come again.

But the problem followed. There was no supplies... It was outrageous. Such a big country couldn't even take out relief supplies!

When it comes to Colombia, the first person that comes to the mind of the Chinese should be the literary giant Marquez. As the hometown of the literary giant, Colombia once became a pilgrimage site and spiritual home for literary youth all over the world, as if Colombia was a spiritual pure land and God's Garden of Eden on the turbulent South American continent. However, the wind, flowers, snow and moon are ultimately dreams, and the cruel reality is the truth. Colombia, a Latin American country with a land area of ​​more than 1.1 million square kilometers and a population of nearly 50 million, has no connection with world literature after the death of Marquez. Drugs and drug lords have become the only impression Colombia has left on the world. As Marquez wrote, since Colombia bought the ticket of drugs, the country has embarked on a road with no end, falling into the mortal world and hell until it is forever.

The United States's operations have destroyed this country that could have been very beautiful. In 1946, Conservative Ospina Perez was elected president with the support of the United States. He persecuted liberals and working people and killed the left-wing leader Gaitan. The working class without guns once again shed blood on the South American continent. However, the working people did not succumb. They followed the successful experience of China and organized guerrillas in the mountains. They repeatedly repelled the siege of government forces and forced the capitalist group to compromise at the negotiating table and agree to jointly control the country with the left-wing party. Seeing that the situation was getting tough, the Americans came up with another plan. They poured in a large amount of American capital and controlled the production of oil, coffee and bananas in Colombia. As the local enterprises in Colombia were not well developed, under the attack of American money, the economic system of Colombia quickly collapsed. The United States successfully manipulated Colombia's foreign trade. The following story is a familiar plot. The United States relied on its economic hegemony to transfer contradictions abroad. Whenever there was an economic crisis at home, the United States would transfer the financial crisis to countries represented by Colombia by means of lowering import costs and overissuing US dollars. The already poor Colombians even had problems surviving under the exploitation of the Americans. When people are poor, they will think of change. The highly profitable drug industry has entered the vision of the poor in Colombia.

South America has always been a paradise for drug growth. The raw materials of drugs here have a short growth cycle and high content of effective ingredients. Here, the cost of drugs per kilogram is less than 1,500 US dollars. When transported abroad (mainly the United States), each kilogram can make a huge profit of 50,000 US dollars. Instead of working hard and not being able to fill your stomach, why not take risks and sell drugs to make quick money? In the face of poverty and survival, in the face of the huge temptation of low cost and high profit of drug transactions, countless Colombians have taken risks one after another, and many people who can be called heroes have been born. Pablo Escobar is one of them. If there is a chance, we will tell you about his sinful and legendary life in the future.

These drug lords use a small part of the profits from drug trafficking to establish welfare undertakings. In Escobar's hometown, the small town of Enweigado, which was overgrown with weeds and devastated decades ago, is now a prosperous city with a population of 100,000, 11 private elementary schools and 2 universities. Poor people do not think that selling drugs is wrong, especially selling drugs to Americans. Instead, they think that drug lords are anti-American heroes and revolutionary fighters. In Medellin, the lair of drug lords, people do not see the bloody life of drug dealers that they imagine, with bullets flying everywhere and blood flying everywhere. Instead, they see white-collar workers going to work normally, shops opening and closing every day, and good citizens who obey traffic rules like any ordinary prosperous city. If you don't know that they are all serving the drug industry, you might think that the level of public security in Medellin is much higher than that in Los Angeles.

It is also because of the proliferation of drugs that the crime rate in the whole country is ridiculously high, and the domestic economy has collapsed. After all, drugs... they don't pay taxes!

This has led to a terrible financial situation for the country... and crime and corruption have always been a pair of twin brothers. When one appears, the other will definitely follow. The whole of Colombia... Let's put it this way. Except for the two stone lions at the door of the Capitol, there is no clean one.

The police and small officials at the bottom are corrupt, while the high-level officials and the military are corrupt.

From top to bottom, corruption is rampant.

Everything has to be scraped three layers of soil before it can be considered. National reserve materials?

That is meat on the chopping board, which has long been embezzled. It just so happens that the Americans like these corrupt officials. After all, who would play with the Americans if they are honest officials with backbone?

So the current situation is caused.

On the second day, due to unfavorable rescue and lack of materials, many rescued people died due to lack of medical care and medicine, further exacerbating the casualties.

It was much better on the third day.

The arrival of American and international relief supplies improved the situation.

Then Kai left angrily.

If he stayed any longer, he felt that he would not be able to control himself and kill people.

There must be something hateful about pitiful people, and the same is true for a country. There is really a reason why Colombia has become like this. Of course, the Americans cannot be blamed.

...

As the disaster in Colombia spread around the world, the US government was severely criticized. There was no way. According to the news released by the United States, the culprit of all this was Nick Fury... But who is Nick Fury?

That's your American director of SHIELD!

Is this related to you, America?

So the US government can only put out the fire and emphasize that they are also victims! Nick Fury has done so many things in the United States, who suffered the most?

The United States!

Then keep emphasizing how miserable the United States is.

Don't say it, it really works.

There is a reason why the United States has been able to dominate the world in recent years. The strong national strength and the strong US military are one aspect, but also because they have mastered the hegemony of public opinion. This hegemony is not only because of how many media they control, but also because they have a wealth of public opinion strategies, which are not mastered by ordinary countries.

After all, this thing requires a lot of practice and various research to support it.

The United States spends a lot of money on public opinion every year, and it supports many studies on public opinion, society, communication and other disciplines.

This leads to the fact that the United States is still the only one in the world at this stage in the war of public opinion.

It will be difficult for other countries to catch up with this thing for a while. On the one hand, countries have not made much progress in controlling public opinion in the past. On the other hand, it is also because of the lack of strength that leads to little investment and lack of talent in this area.

Apart from other things, many American institutions have analysts and strategists specialized in this area, and even the U.S. Congress has similar institutions.

These are the so-called foundation.

The more miserable they say the United States is, the more others laugh at the United States.

Although this is embarrassing.

But it has successfully reduced the outside world's malice towards the United States.

The whole world likes to see the United States in trouble. In this case, we will break it apart and show you how miserable I am. In this way, it will satisfy the malice of those people, and they will have a certain sympathy for the United States in their hearts.

Although it is not much, it is enough.

The United States does not want to be associated with anti-human elements now.

"Huh..." Benjamin sat in the office chair with a tired face, gently rubbing his eyebrows to relieve his tense nerves.

He just released the latest National Day advisory in Congress, and he will also give a speech and answer questions from reporters from various countries after the meeting.

Don't think that giving a speech is easy, on the contrary, this thing is a test of personal acting skills.

National Day consultation is better. After all, the tradition of the world is to hold a big meeting for small matters and a small meeting for big matters. This also applies to the United States. The truly important decisions cannot be made by giving speeches in Congress.

Those important decisions are discussed by the president and his staff in the White House, and then taken out to talk to the bigwigs of the two parties. After the discussion, the bigwigs of the two parties and the senators below will discuss it. Finally, when a consensus is almost reached, it will be taken to the conference for voting.

In fact, the work has been done long before the meeting. Basically, there is a general idea before it is announced to the world.

After all, the senators actually know what the country is like now. Everyone together just gives the outside world the impression that everyone is playing the dish cooking seriously.

The press conference afterwards is the big part, and the whole world is watching it.

Yes, the United States is indeed unlucky and has fallen from the world hegemony. But this does not mean that the United States is finished. On the contrary, the United States is still the world's number one. It's just that the number one in the United States used to be able to hold the world's second to the world's tenth. Now there is no such ability. It takes a lot of effort to suppress the world's second.

The world's number one is still the world's number one, but unfortunately the gap with the lower ones is not that big.

There is no way to dominate the world anymore.

But the world's number one power has not fallen, and the foundation is still there, so the world's attention to the United States has not decreased, but has increased. Any decision made by the United States is being studied and researched by more people.

As the president of the world's most powerful country, his every move is watched and studied by everyone.

Even his blinking eyes are analyzed.

So he must stay focused enough, and every word needs to be careful and careful, and at the same time, he must not let people see his caution. He needs to show that he is taking things lightly, full of confidence, and there must be no hesitation. At the same time, the words cannot be too hard and hard, and they need to be just right, giving people a feeling of spring breeze.

Let people see his confidence, but not be aggressive.

In short, the details in the middle are very cumbersome.

And in response to those questions, he must be both graceful and humble, and also humorous. Every word must be pondered in his heart, and he must not say any ambiguous words that will cause misunderstandings.

Let's put it this way, this thing is like walking on a tightrope between tall buildings, you can't make mistakes, you can't panic.

The psychological quality required for this thing is not something that ordinary people can bear.

If it was the United States that dominated the world before, it would be okay. It's okay to say the wrong thing. The presidents in the past had done it, but not him.

So even just talking consumed all of Benjamin's energy.

But he couldn't rest yet.

"By the way, can we transport back the remains of Mechagodzilla?"

The Chief of Staff and the Secretary of Defense were both there.

The Chief of Staff immediately stepped forward and replied: "Not yet, after all, we need to consider the emotions of the locals, and according to our assessment, the thing has been destroyed quite thoroughly. Except for the valuable material itself, all other valuable things have been destroyed. So we decided to postpone it."

"Is there really nothing useful left? I think that thing is still very powerful."

Benjamin asked a little disappointedly.
