The rise of great powers: starting from military industry

Maldives.

In the swimming pool, Liu Tao and others were wearing swimming trunks and swimsuits, enjoying the soft sunshine and the breeze.

In order to cope with the reduction of tourists from Europe and the United States, the Maldives has also taken positive measures to reduce costs in order to attract more tourists to travel to the Maldives.

The Maldives, a tourist destination, is very suitable for tourism and also for vacation.

This year, Liu Tao's family chose to go on vacation in the Maldives.

This island is not big, and there are only a few wooden houses on the water, which is just enough for Liu Tao and his family of dozens of people to take a vacation.

This time, they will travel in the Maldives for a week.

Liu Zhenbang fell before, and finally recovered through Chinese medicine.

But after all, he is 77 years old, and he is indeed an old man.

The older you get, the more you think about some things you let go of before.

The biggest worry for the two now is Liu Ziyu's marriage.

I have been talking about it since I was in my twenties, but time is the most ruthless. Before I knew it, Liu Ziyu was already a 43-year-old old girl.

Liu Hongying and Liu Honglei are 56 and 54 years old respectively. Even Liu Tao is already 52 years old and over half a century old.

"Brother, do you think the US subprime mortgage crisis will evolve into an economic crisis?" Liu Ziyu asked while holding a coconut and drinking it.

The US subprime mortgage crisis has no impact on the Internet technology field. On the contrary, the Internet technology field around the world is conquering cities all over the world.

With the opening of the smartphone era by Kirin mobile phones, a smartphone is equivalent to a computer, which has spawned various applications and brought great opportunities for development in many aspects.

For example, e-commerce, mobile games, etc., all ushered in a rare opportunity for development.

In the United States, most Internet companies are living a good life.

Although there is competition in the two Internet worlds, there is also cooperation.

Even the American Internet can live quite well by relying only on the North American market.

Liu Ziyu has also been paying attention to the US subprime mortgage crisis. She never thought that the US was brewing such a serious crisis without realizing it.

"It is inevitable that the US subprime mortgage crisis will evolve into a financial crisis. The US has increased its debt on a large scale in recent years, and the debt has continuously exceeded the ceiling. A large amount of funds have been used for war and geopolitical games. This is not without cost!" Liu Tao said, "The government's tax revenue is limited, and the money that can be used is also limited. So much money is invested in war, and the internal economic development is weak, which has itself given rise to many problems."

Any economic crisis will not break out suddenly for no reason, but has been brewing for a long time.

The United States began to change its policies in 2001 and became tough on the outside world. Especially after September 11, 2001, the United States has been promoting hegemonic actions in the name of the war on terror.

The amount of money invested in this is a shocking number.

A large amount of money has flowed to the military-industrial complex and to the forces supported by the United States.

Naturally, if there is less money in other aspects, various problems will also arise.

In addition, the lack of supervision over capital in the capitalist society has caused major financial institutions to poke such a big hole in subprime bonds.

The United States has repeatedly made large-scale rescues, and the Federal Reserve has continuously lowered the benchmark interest rate.

But so far, the results achieved are very limited, and the panic in the market has not been calmed.

"If an economic crisis breaks out, I'm afraid the world will break out in war again!" Liu Ziyu said.

Liu Tao smiled and didn't say anything directly.

Now many places in the world are like powder kegs.

For example, in the Middle East, the joint forces led by the US military still maintain 200,000 troops in Iraq, and the puppets they support have formed a government, and they have also held an election in a formal manner. The puppet government wants to establish a government army of up to 500,000.

The war in Iraq has never subsided.

The United States did not fight a good security war in Afghanistan, nor did it fight a good security war in Iraq.

In Afghanistan, it failed to cut off the Afghan guerrillas' access to weapons, ammunition and supplies from the outside world. In Iraq, it also failed to cut off Saddam's assistance from the outside world.

In addition, the United States and Turkey have been at odds over the Kurdish armed forces. Turkey has often sung the opposite tune of the United States in the international arena and scolded the Americans.

After all, in Turkey's view, if the United States had not condoned the Kurdish armed forces, the Kurdish armed forces would not dare to seize the land belonging to Turkey.

Although Israel has not fought again, the hatred between Jews and Arabs is simply difficult to resolve.

It is possible that the Jews will have to learn from their fucking ancestors and wander around the world at any time.

Syria and the Kurdish armed forces have exchanged fire more than once.

In South America, Argentina has recently said that it wants to take back the Falkland Islands and even said that it does not mind fighting another Falklands War.

It is not surprising at all when the second Falklands War starts.

The friction between the Republic of Lanfang and Australia has become more frequent, and the two sides have fought over the disputed islands more than once or twice.

After clearing out all pirates and rebel armed forces, the only thing left for the Republic of Lanfang to resolve is the 198 islands with territorial disputes with Australia.

In the South Asian subcontinent, India was renamed "Barak". Although it changed its name, Barak still failed to deal with its neighboring countries, and there would be some problems every now and then.

As for why India changed its name to "Barak", there are mainly several reasons.

On the one hand, it is for decolonization. India was once a British colony in history, and the name "India" was given during the British colonial period. After India's independence, although the constitution clearly stated that the two names "India" and "Barak" were equal, in daily use, "India" is still more common. With the rise of Indian nationalism, more and more Indians began to advocate the removal of symbols and names related to colonial history to highlight India's autonomy and cultural heritage. "Bharat", as a name with profound historical and cultural connotations, naturally became the first choice to replace "India".

On the other hand, it is to strengthen national identity. During the Second South Asian War, India also faced many problems internally. As a multi-ethnic, multi-lingual, and multi-religious country, there are hundreds of ethnic groups and more than 1,652 languages ​​and dialects in India. In this context, a widely accepted and recognized country name is of great significance for enhancing national cohesion and national belonging. The word "Bharat" has a high degree of popularity and recognition among various ethnic groups and regions in India, so it is regarded as a country name that can promote national unity.

This is also to cope with the growing calls for independence from other ethnic groups in India after the defeat in the Second South Asian War. (End of this chapter)
