Chapter 308 Latin America deserves

"It's really a shame for Latin America to have neighbors like you." //《》.com》 Novel Network//"

When Guo Jinzhang heard Morgan's words, he knew what the other party was beating without even moving his mind. The look he looked at the other party unconsciously felt a layer of coldness. Unfortunately, Morgan didn't care about this at all, but just gently stroked the exquisite white porcelain teacup in his hand, without refuting, as if Guo Jinzhang was not evaluating himself.

"Why, I'm talking about it? I feel ashamed?" Guo Jinzhang continued to ask.

"Will there be any shame for those of us?" Morgan gave him a look. "And, I don't think our ambitions for Latin America will be bad for the countries in this region. At least, we won't treat them the way Europe treats Africa, don't we?"

"Haha, so, those countries in Latin America still want to thank you?"

"You said the wrong thing again, Guo," Morgan looked at him with a chuckling, "thank you 'we'! After all, Tangzhou is also one of the members with strong ambitions for Latin America!"

"This is true. We do have considerable ambitions for Latin America. But the way we realize this ambition is to develop together, and you... are just plundering." Guo Jinzhang shook his head.

"Is that so? But I don't think there is any difference between it." Morgan smiled.

"Not any difference?" Li Asheng also joined in, "This is a huge territory. We are just a small state, not as big as your appetite. In your way, we may have been swollen to death before we could take a few bites."

"So, we have to use your methods," Morgan smiled, "'Common development'...unconsciously grasp the economic lifeline of those countries."

"When did we grasp the lifeline of Colombia's economy?" Li Asheng asked back.

"Of course you don't have to admit that, because you have not yet reached that step. But the fact that the war in Colombia and the fact that their army has set foot in Venezuela is not going on according to the plan you have pre-set?" Morgan sneered: "We are all smart people, gentlemen. After this war, the Colombian government may not become your vassal, but they will not escape your control economically... My purpose is to join forces with you to further strengthen the level of this control. I think this is not beyond your bottom limit, right?"

"No." Guo Jinzhang shook his head. No matter how high-sounding it is, it can't be hidden from the intent. But he didn't expect Morgan to reach out so early... He thought that the guy would take action after Colombia reoccupied Venezuela, and in his expectation, Rockefeller and others would also reach out. But it was obvious that Morgan's confidence in them was much stronger than he thought... "As for the same sentence, with our neighbors, Latin America is really unlucky."

"We can't blame us." Seeing Guo Jinzhang admitting personally, Morgan knew that this time's cooperation was half successful, and his spirit suddenly became higher. "Because it's not without us, there will be European powers....Look at the history of Latin America over the past few hundred years, since the beginning of the 16th century, Portugal and Spain began to colonize them, there has been a printing machine for European powers, and it is also the kind of printing machine for those who want to take it..."

"It's too absolute?" Li Asheng frowned slightly, "The people of Latin America have also fought for a long and heroic struggle in order to fight for freedom and liberation. Didn't they eventually overthrow the colonial rule of West and Portugal? At the beginning of this century, they had established 10 national countries one after another, and only a few areas such as Guyana are still under the colonial rule of Britain, France and the Netherlands."

"So what?" Morgan smiled disdainfully. "Latin America is a disaster, but they are only from the colonial rule of the West and Portuguese. In my opinion, their disaster actually does not make much sense."

"Oh?" Li Asheng shrugged and signaled him to continue talking.

"Perhaps, according to the textbooks of those schools, important historical events such as the Latin American Movement will always be given 'very important' significance. It seems that if this is not done, it will not be enough to show the level of the textbook. But in fact, the Latin American Movement that swept the north and south is really not very important. We can carefully calculate that the Latin American Movement that swept the north and south for 20 years, with millions of deaths. What achievements have been achieved? It has achieved the nominal national precepts, and at some times in some regions, some feudal systems, such as abolition... but in addition, it has been achieved.

What? No other progress has been achieved - in the last Latin America, the native white landlords controlled the regimes of most countries, and there were military dictatorships everywhere. Those dictators tried their best to maintain the land ownership and feudal system of the large estate, which made the economic development of the entire region extremely slow. //《》.com》号》号》号》号》号》号》号》号》号》号》号》号》号》号》号》号》号》号》号》号》号》号》号》号》号》号》号》号》号》号》号》号》号》号》号》号》号》号》号》号》号》号》号》号》号》号》号》号》号》号》号》号》号》号》号》号》号》号》号》号》号》号》号》号》号》号》号》号》号》号》�

"You are right." Guo Jinzhang nodded, "Lastly, the monopoly large real estate system in Latin America remains the same, the gap between the rich and the poor in society is still huge, and the economic lifeline is just transferred from the hands of the Spanish and Portuguese to the hands of the British. In addition, they have escaped from the colonial rule of Spain and Portugal politically, but replaced by generations of domestic dictatorships..."

"In other words, the blood that Latin American people shed for national prosperity and national prosperity has flowed in vain..." Morgan smiled.

"Are you two stories?" Li Asheng looked at the two of them singing and reunion with some amusement, "If you don't have any problems in Latin America, you won't have to be unable to do it all the time, right? They should be sober, right?"

"Don't think too much about humanity. Dear Governor, there are not so many sober people in this world." Morgan smiled, "At least until now, I have only heard of two people who can remain sober after gaining the status of autonomy, but only one person has seen!"

"Oh? Who have you seen?" Li Asheng asked.

"According to our habits, his name is... Jin Zhang. Guo!" Morgan tilted his head and looked at Guo Jin Zhang with a smile and said.

"Next time you put my surname behind your name, and I will deduct one percent of your dividends from Chang'an Bank." Guo Jinzhang glared at him and said.

"I said Jin Zhang, Morgan is praising you." Li Asheng smiled.

"But I think he is trying to disgust me by turning around." Guo Jinzhang rolled his eyes.

"I swear I don't have this kind of thought." Morgan quickly raised his hand and shouted, "I'm talking about the facts. You must know that after forcing the US government to surrender, you can still remain sober and understand your own advantages and disadvantages, and after occupying such a piece of land, you can use various advantages to make Tangzhou's order more developed and stronger... Your talents are definitely no worse than any US president."

"Look, this guy is just disgusting me." Guo Jinzhang slapped the table, looking like this, "Who doesn't know that in the United States, a truly smart person is doing business like him, who is still involved in the government?"

"God, do you still want to be a businessman?" Morgan looked like he saw a ghost. "You can take a look at it yourself. It has nothing to do with you in Tangzhou now? You actually want to be a full-time businessman... Do you want all of us to beg?"

"Don't be too arrogant. I'm not that powerful, at least not as powerful as you." Guo Jinzhang said "cut". However, he was still very satisfied to hear the American financial emperor praise him like this... Although he knew that this was just Morgan deliberately said good things about him.

"Okay, don't blow around." Li Asheng gave the two of them a blank look: "It doesn't matter if it's stingy?...Where did we just talk about it?"

"There are no sober guys in Latin America." Morgan took a sip of tea and said.

"Yes, there are really no sober people in Latin America? Don't know what their problem is?" Li Asheng asked.

"Of course there are locals who know the Latin American problem. However, these people are not sober because, they don't know, their problems are very difficult to solve, or even impossible to solve." Morgan said lightly.

"What do you mean...someone tried it?" Li Asheng asked.

"There are few sober people in this world, but there are always many people who are brave enough to try." Morgan sighed, looked at the two of them again, and said, "You have such huge interests in Colombia, so you should know the previous 'Big Colombian Republic', right? The country advocated and established by Bolivar, who was respected as the 'father of the nation' by many countries in South America."

"Of course I know."

"Bolival was one of the two largest liberators in South America and also a far-sighted politician. He understood the problems faced by those countries in Latin America, and knew better that unity would be strong and division would be weak. Therefore, he led the establishment of the Great Colombia Republic. At the time of this republic, it included today's Colombia, Ecuador and Venezuela. According to Bolivar's plan at that time, this Great Colombia would continue to expand until the entire Western South America was unified and a United States of Colombia, which was comparable to our United States of America."

"But this country quickly split." Guo Jinzhang sighed.

"Yes." Morgan also sighed, "Because of infighting! Bolivar himself was a determined centralist, while Santander, who was then the vice president of the Greater Colombia, was a federalist. Since the two of them joined forces to govern Big Colombia, the struggle has not stopped. For example, in April 1826, the ruler of Venezuela, Pais and the ruler of the New Granada area, which opposed Santander, clamored to establish their own country separately, and passed by Boliva.

The mediation was temporarily put on hold. On April 2, 1828, the National Congress of Greater Colombia was held in Ocania, and there was another sharp conflict between the centralized factions of Bolivar and the federal factions of Santander. On August 27, Bolivar flatly ordered the removal of Santander's vice president and began to make a decree. The people of Santander immediately accused Bolivar of being a dictator. As a result, Bolivar was disgraced and even his supporters

We also began to be disunited. Later, in November 1829, Venezuela announced its withdrawal from Big Colombia. Seeing that his lifelong dream was about to be destroyed, and in order to prevent internal strife in Big Colombia from being infighted for itself, Bolivar announced his resignation as president in January 1830. But after Bolivar resigned, the differences in Big Colombia not only did not stop, but instead became increasingly volatile because there was no one who could control the overall situation.

The more intense. On May 31, the Quito region announced its withdrawal from Greater Colombia and established the Republic of Ecuador... The Republic of Greater Colombia was left with only one Colombia. In desperation, they re-established a ‘New Republic of Granada’, and it was not until 1861 that the country name was changed back to its current Colombia. Since then, Latin American countries have only had further divisions, and there are no more examples of successful unification of countries."

"What a pity. One person led the army to liberate so many countries, but in the end he was made famous by those liberated..." Li Asheng smiled bitterly, "I thought we Chinese like internal fighting. It seems that people with this habit are everywhere."

"The matter in Big Colombia is still light." Morgan's talk became more and more intense. "Although they were infighting hard, they had not put into force yet. However, the five-year war between Paraguay, Brazil, Argentina, and Uruguay, which had lasted for five years, reduced the population of Paraguay from 1.33 million before the war to 220,000, and the country's population lost 75%... You can imagine what a tragic war this was. And because most of the strong men died on the battlefield,

After the war, less than 10% of the remaining 200,000 people in Paraguay were male, including little boys, old men and wounded soldiers. Therefore, after the war, Paraguay was forced to restore the social system of polygamy in fact, and a man must be responsible for the birth of more than a dozen women. 50 years after the war, 80% of the newborns there were half-births. And because this war killed too many people, people called this war the 'war of extinction'."

"Extinction..." As he stumbled these two words carefully, Guo Jinzhang and Li Asheng's faces turned pale... This kind of thing does not seem to have happened in South America, but it seems to have a lot in China. Although it is not as terrifying as reducing China's population by 75%, the battles such as the "Tianjin Massacre of the City" that Qian Shide once told them happened in China a lot. Imagine that the population of one city and one city was slaughtered, and the huge death toll would be more than that of a small South American country like Paraguay?

"The War of Extinction made Paraguay almost destroyed its country, but a few years after the war ended, the western half of South America began again. This time, Chile, Peru and Bolivia participated in the war. Because the battlefield was mainly on the Pacific coast, it had a very frightening name - the Pacific War in South America."

"Bird Dot War! I've heard of this." Li Asheng said.

"That's right, that war." Morgan smiled, "In order to compete for the saltpeter resources in the Atacama Desert, Chile, Peru and Bolivia fought for four years. As a result, Chile won completely, and the two defeated countries lost a lot. After Peru's defeat, the country first had a civil war for seven months, and then the economy retreated for more than 10 years. Bolivia was even worse and was forced to sign the Valparaiso Agreement with Chile, ceding all its coastal territories from the Andes to the Pacific to Chile, and since then it became a landlocked country like Paraguay, and its economic development suffered serious impacts..."

"These games one after another, why don't they know how to calm down for a while?" Li Asheng didn't know who he was asking, but his words were obviously worthless for Latin American countries.

"Enterprise is a place with abundant resources. For the sake of interests, of course there will be wars." Morgan shook his head and sighed, "In fact, for Latin America, the 19th century was a century of civil war. In this century, they broke out many civil wars. For example, the Central American civil war and melee between 1826-1829, 1837-1840; 1828-1830, the Chilean civil war; 1835-1845, Brazil's 'Brashes War'; 1839-1842, Colombia's 'Super War'; 1847-1901, Mexico's Caster War was the Mayan uprising; 1854-1867, Mexico's civil war and foreign war; 1851-1861, Argentina's civil war; 1859-1863, Venezuela's 'Federal War'..."

"Excellent." Guo Jinzhang gave his thumbs up, not knowing who he was praising.

"Is it amazing? Then I have something even more amazing here: from June to October 1840, Peruvian soldiers rioted 13 times; from the La Plata River area in Argentina 117 riots from 1852 to 1862; Colombia 11 national rebellions occurred in this century, and so on..." Morgan said with his fingers and shook his head, "These riots, coups, and rebellions gave the British countless opportunities. In 1850

By 1870, Peru alone borrowed 51.84 million pounds from those John Bulls, and Mexico also borrowed 16.96 million pounds. Since 1825, the money borrowed from Latin American countries from Europe, in addition to Brazil, has generally delayed repayment of debts for more than 25 years. Brazil used 40% of its annual fiscal revenue to repay debts, and it was considered to be overwhelmed. Later, Latin American countries paid back their old debts and owed new debts. Until today, Britain has not yet brought back all the money from these Latin American countries..."

"Then the UK has compensated?" Li Asheng asked.

"Grant?" Morgan looked at him strangely, "My dear governor, how could you be so naive? Even though you know that the poor Latin Americans can't pay back the money, Britain still lends money to them so enthusiastically, of course, because there are huge business opportunities here that allow them to make a lot of money... For example, from 1822 to 1826, Britain provided loans of 21 million pounds to Latin American countries. After deducting the advance interest and agency fees, the actual amount was only 7 million pounds. However, when paying back the money, it took a penny to pay 21 million pounds.

In addition, in 1824, the Buenos Aires government borrowed 1 million pounds from the Bahrain Brothers Bank, but the actual amount was only 570,000. Moreover, the Buenos Aires government received bills of exchange, and when paying back the bill, gold was paid. In addition, since Britain was the big creditor, Brazil, when Pedro I was emperor, signed a treaty with London, stipulating that Brazil's imports from the UK was 15%, and guaranteed that the tariffs on imported goods from other countries should not be lower than this proportion. In addition, from 1800 to 1850, the world's trade volume increased twice, but

The trade volume between Latin America and the United Kingdom increased by more than three times. From 1815 to 1820, there were only 2 or 3 trading ships between Chile and the United Kingdom each year, and it increased to more than 300 in 1847... Not only that, as the big creditor of Latin America, Britain also advocated a concept in Latin America - opening up the door and opposing trade protection. According to this statement, Britain and Latin America have a deep friendship, and both should open the door to their domestic market, sell things at will, and prosper together! But in fact, because the economic level of Latin America is more

Britain lags a lot, and Latin American products are not competitive in the UK; on the contrary, high-quality and low-cost British products can flood into Latin American countries, turning these places into dumping places, and directly destroying the industrial germination of Latin America. I can give an example. In 1821, Mexico announced the opening of the market and set the tariffs on British products at 25%. As a result, just the second year, 2,000 handicraftsmen were unemployed in Guadalajara alone... Where did their job opportunities and the money they should make go? British!"

"So, you are jealous of the benefits the British have made in Latin America, and you also want to take this opportunity to reach in." Guo Jinzhang said.

"Yes," Morgan tidied up his clothes. "Since Latin American countries are not good, I am an outsider, so there is no reason to just look at it... After all, they deserve it!"

"Well said... if you fall behind, you will be beaten! You deserve to be beaten!"
