Chapter 1206 The Challenges Faced
African aspect.
The United States and other forces joined forces to drive France and other European forces out of Africa.
However, the United States fails to control Africa, only part of Africa.
As the African people awaken, fewer and fewer people believe in what the United States does.
Moreover, although Africa is rich in natural resources, the United States is interested in oil, natural gas, gold, uranium ore, etc. As for iron ore, copper ore, etc., it is not important to the United States.
Because the United States is not a major steel producer!
China is the world's number one steel power!
Moreover, Africa's armaments have been significantly improved.
African countries such as Tanzania, Djibouti, Egypt, Somalia, and South Africa are developing rapidly. As they become emerging developing countries, this will inevitably affect the entire Africa.
In Latin America, the situation in Mexico is becoming increasingly corrupt. The Mexican government can only truly control a quarter of Mexico's territory.
There are also countries such as Haiti. Refugees from these countries gather at the border of the United States. All kinds of illegal immigrants are smuggled in endlessly, which makes George Wharton and others very dissatisfied.
The United States is divided into two opposing factions over these illegal immigrants, and there are fierce quarrels.
In South America, left-wing forces are sweeping across South America. These left-wing forces are resisting the United States and even state-owned some industries.
For example, Venezuela's Chavez nationalized the Venezuelan oil industry, which severely damaged the interests of Americans, because Americans control most of Venezuela's petrochemical industry.
Beginning in 2001, international oil and natural gas prices rose sharply, which brought Venezuela a large amount of energy export revenue.
Coupled with the rise in iron ore prices, Venezuela's economy has developed quite well in recent years.
And Chavez has become an international anti-American fighter.
Other South American countries have followed suit and are nationalizing the oil industry and even the agricultural sector, causing considerable losses to American capital in South America.
You must know that since the United States implemented the Monroe Doctrine in 1823, announcing a foreign policy prohibiting European powers from interfering in American affairs, and shouting that "America is the America of Americans," through step-by-step measures, the United States has gradually controlled Latin America and transformed Latin America into a foreign country. America has become America’s backyard.
American-Romanianism has always been one of the cornerstones of U.S. foreign policy, and it is precisely because of this that Latin America is the back garden of the United States.
But it is obvious that Latin America has been undergoing obvious changes over the past two decades, and this change is not very beneficial to the United States.
In Europe, the formation of the Franco-German alliance has enabled Europe to gradually get rid of the influence of the United States and move towards integration.
Now, Germany is completely independent and, like France, is a sovereign and independent country.
The Franco-German alliance is getting closer to Russia. German Chancellor Merkel signed an agreement on the "Nord Stream 2" natural gas pipeline project with the Russian President in December.
Due to the lack of strength, the United States will not fully develop its strategy when dealing with these hot spots and problems. Instead, it must pay attention to first and then, and to deal with tension and slowness.
According to the current strategy, at the strategic level, it is to treat them tough and fight to the end. In the war against Iraq, the United States will "hold the sword to preach" and fight to the end. Regarding the Persian nuclear issue, the United States has a big stick in hand to pressure Persia into submission. Regarding Palestine and Israel, the United States will continue to favor Israel when implementing the "road map" for the Palestinian-Israeli dispute. In Afghanistan, we will continue to take the lead in using force to clear out the guerrillas. Regarding the North Korean nuclear issue, the United States will not allow North Korea to continue to delay.
But here, there are three issues where it is difficult to choose toughness, and that is China, Russia and Europe!
In Europe, the United States and Europe have experienced considerable rifts due to the war in Iraq. The United States does not want to see European integration, but it cannot be too tough, lest it push European countries into the arms of Russia. In that case, it would be really ruined.
The United States did not hesitate to reject Russia's repeated applications to join NATO.
Are you kidding me? If Russia joins NATO, who will be the leader of NATO? Who is the big brother who takes the lead?
As for Russia, with the rise in international oil and natural gas prices and Russia's stable market in the east and west, Russia's economy has developed very well in recent years.
In many ways, it even goes against the United States.
Russia was involved in both the Iraq War and the Afghanistan War.
Russia has the largest nuclear arsenal in the world, and it is difficult for the United States not to pay attention to it.
After all, Russia is the only country in the world that has the ability to destroy the United States.
Of course, the United States also has the power to destroy Russia. Since the beginning of the Cold War, both sides have ensured that nuclear weapons can destroy each other.
As for the East, George Wharton gets a headache just thinking about it.
Panshan Group Headquarters.
Liu Tao and others took a group photo in front of the headquarters building.
The year-end party group meeting has concluded successfully, and we are taking photos at this time. This is also the tradition of Panshan Group over the years.
The cooperation will be kept as a souvenir for each party member, and will also be collected and entered into the Panshan Group Museum.
The Panshan Group Museum records the entire transformation of the Panshan Group.
These image data are very precious historical data.
There is a special department that compiles the history of Panshan Group, and new content is included every year.
In the evening, everyone drank some wine. Seeing that it was still relatively early, someone suggested going to the Southwest Associated University.
This proposal was unanimously agreed by everyone, and everyone set off for Southwest Associated University.
Southwest Associated University is already on summer vacation, and almost all students and teachers are on vacation. In addition to the scientific research institutions, there are only some security forces working in Southwest Associated University.
As a national top-level university, Southwest Associated University is extremely famous all over the world, and is currently ranked first in the country and tenth in the world.
Among the professors of the entire Southwest Associated University, there are five Nobel Prize winners in physics, three Nobel Prize winners in chemistry, one Nobel Prize winner in physiology or medicine, three Fields Medal winners, and six Turing Award winners.
There are two masters of Chinese studies in Southwest Associated University!
As early as the mid-to-late 1990s, Southwest Associated University was completely independent and no longer under the jurisdiction of Panshan Group.
However, the two sides have been together since their establishment, and even now they have a close connection.
Last year, Panshan Group donated 4 billion yuan to Southwest Associated University as school funding, and this year, the donation amount will exceed 5 billion yuan.
Panshan Group has received the most donations to Southwest Associated University over the years.
Of course, many of the donations that Southwest Associated University has received now come from wealthy groups in society, wealthy overseas Chinese businessmen, and students who graduated from Southwest Associated University.
This allows Southwest Associated University to maintain its operation without relying on the school funding allocated by the national finance. (End of this chapter)
