Chapter 172, Summary Report on World Wars

[-]. Latin America

Since getting rid of the colonial rule of the Kingdom of Spain in the last century, until the beginning of the ten-year war, Mexico and all the Latin American countries to the south have been playing an insignificant vase role on the international stage of our world.Some particularly fortunate Latin American countries, such as Ecuador, have not fought wars for more than 100 years since their independence and the outbreak of World War III.

Although in the past century, some wars broke out intermittently among countries in Latin America, or they encountered invasions from countries outside Latin America.For example, the war between Mexico and the United States and France, the Paraguay War between Paraguay and Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil, the saltpeter war between Chile and Peru, Bolivia, and the Chaco War between Paraguay and Bolivia, etc.However, compared to the bloody rivers and raging wars in the old continent in these years, Latin America, where wars are so rare, is enough to be called a paradise of peace and happiness.

The reasons are, firstly, the protection of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans allows Latin American countries to stay away from the turmoil of wars in the old continent; secondly, Latin American countries are relatively weak and have low ambitions. Overseas aggression is enough, and they are not keen on actively sending troops to fight overseas; third, Latin American countries have loose regimes and low land development, which makes it difficult to withstand the consumption of high-intensity wars.

Although during World War II, Brazil took the initiative to follow the United States to declare war on Nazi Germany and Italy, but apart from sending a small expeditionary force to accept the command of the United States, and dispatched some naval ships to participate in the escort of the Atlantic route, its mainland did not affected by many wars.

However, in the third world war that swept across all mankind, the continents of Latin American countries finally failed to escape the onslaught of war.In the early days of World War III, some Latin American countries followed the United States to join the capitalist camp, while others chose to be neutral.Subsequently, due to the steady retreat of the US military on various overseas fronts, Latin American countries were also torn into two camps, pro-American and anti-American, and declared war on each other after standing in line.

However, in fact, in the records of the Third World War, it is difficult to say what decent military actions Latin American countries took during the war, or what large-scale battles were launched that are worthy of description.Because, before their armies had time to actually launch any meaningful military operations, the Latin American countries that were slack in preparing for war and unresponsive had already been turned into a radioactive wasteland by the overwhelming American and Soviet atomic bombs:

Throughout World War Three, Latin American countries suffered a total of 23 American atomic bombs and [-] Soviet atomic bombs.With the exception of a handful of tiny Caribbean island nations, no Latin American country has escaped the devastation of nuclear war.

At the same time, the global abnormally low temperature climate caused by the Icelandic volcanic eruption also caused serious damage to the agricultural production in Latin America.The brutal plundering and bloody massacres of Latin American countries by the U.S. occupying forces at the end of the Third World War further exacerbated the collapse of social order in this region.The end of the world for the Latin American people has since come. Hunger, violence and death have since become the main theme of Latin American society.

So far, except for a few small Caribbean island countries that are not worth mentioning, the whole of Latin America is still basically in a state of anarchy and chaos.This is not to say that there is no government in Latin America, but that there are too many various groups claiming to be governments in that area.For example, in Bolivia after the nuclear explosion, four governments confronted each other.In post-war Peru, based on what is currently known, there appeared the Peruvian Justice League, the Peruvian Patriotic Front, the Peruvian Freedom Federation, the Peruvian National Salvation Government, and the new Inca Empire that ruled the ancient capital of Cusco. strong local government.In the desert of northern Mexico, someone claimed to be the Aztec emperor and claimed to lead an indigenous army to recover the empire from the whites.In the Yucatan Peninsula in southern Mexico, there is a voodoo goddess who proclaimed herself Queen of Maya.In Brazil, at least [-] "revolutionary governments", "provisional governments" and "national salvation governments" have emerged, and most of their leaders are former policemen or gang bosses.

Although the post-war situation in Latin America, which is full of demons, looks very dazzling and even interesting.But in fact, most of these so-called "governments" can only control a province or a city, or even a few villages, and they often can't last for a few months, and they will die due to various strange reasons. downfall.Moreover, these newly established governments are generally "the smaller the territory, the bigger the name".

For example, after members of the British government-in-exile entrenched in the Cayman Islands finally voluntarily surrendered to the Soviet Red Army and were taken away, the democratically elected self-government of the Cayman Islands easily won the status of an independent country.But then, seemingly dazzled by the joy of independence, the Cayman Islands authorities actually changed their name to the "Latin American Community Government" in December 1, as if they wanted to follow the example of the Federation of South Africa to establish a "Southern African Union". "Community", taking over the colonies of European powers in black Africa and becoming the hegemon of Africa, but completely forgetting that their Cayman Islands is just a country that has just been independent for more than a month, with only more than [-] permanent residents and no regular army. The mini island country is really nothing to say.

However, considering the exaggerated nature of Latin American residents, the exaggerated approach of the Cayman Islands authorities to establish a "Latin American Community Government" probably does not mean that they really have any unrealistic delusions. It's just pure bragging and self-entertainment.

Overall, after the devastation of World War III, Latin America as a whole was estimated to have lost between 2000 and [-] million people, with all major cities destroyed, and industry, agriculture, and transportation severely affected. Politically, it fell into an unprecedented state of chaos.However, considering the original loose system and low-level economy in Latin America, the impact of this catastrophe on South American society may not be as serious as imagined.

[-]. North America
North America north of Mexico was one of the two core fortresses of the capitalist world before the war. It was also an important participant and leader of the Second and Third World Wars, and the place where the Third World War ended at the latest. .Among them, Canada, as part of the British Empire, has passively participated in three world wars.The United States, which was separated from Britain, took the initiative to participate in three world wars in order to fight for world hegemony. In the final decisive battle between the two camps of socialism and capitalism, it became a capitalist diehard force against progress and liberation. last stand.Therefore, at the end of the Third World War, North America, which had watched the fire from the other side in the first two world wars, finally suffered the most tragic nuclear attack on the entire planet. 48 atomic bombs of various types were dropped on the 53 mainland states, and 120 atomic bombs were dropped on Canada, with a total equivalent of about one billion tons, causing devastating effects.

When the U.S. government surrendered unconditionally and signed an armistice agreement on the outskirts of the ruins of San Francisco, except for Washington, the capital of the United States, and the Port of Tacoma, Washington State, which was occupied by the Japanese army, in North America north of Mexico, all human settlements above the county level All of them were destroyed by atomic bombs and conventional aerial bombs dropped by the Soviet Strategic Air Force.The destruction and leakage of nuclear weapons industrial plants in various parts of the United States have also caused serious nuclear pollution problems-different from the short-term nuclear pollution caused by atomic bomb explosions (although the mushroom cloud of nuclear explosions is very terrifying, the uranium and plutonium in the atomic bombs are basically They were all "burned up" in the explosion. Although there are still a small amount of residue left, it usually only takes a few years. Under the self-purification of nature, the local environment can basically return to normal), reactors and nuclear fuel leaks The pollution caused is long-term, and so far there is no safer way to clean it up.

In addition, such high-intensity frequent nuclear explosions, as well as the high temperature and heat waves caused by the nuclear explosions, also caused large-scale forest fires in the densely forested northern United States and southern Canada.Due to the collapse of the government and no one to put out the fire, the forest fires in some areas actually burned from the spring of [-] to late autumn, and were basically declared extinguished until the first heavy snow came together with the strong wind in the winter of [-]. .

So, facing such a song of ice and fire that followed, the remaining local residents in the forest fires in North America just got rid of the threat of the blazing fire demon. Facing the cruel fate of being frozen to death by cold snaps and blizzards.

In Texas, which is rich in oil in the southern United States, frequent nuclear explosions and bombings also ignited a large number of local oil wells, oil depots and refineries, causing serious oil spills and oil fires.Currently, at least [-] oil wells and natural gas wellheads have been ignited, burning at least [-] tons of crude oil and more than [-] cubic meters of natural gas every day, and producing an unprecedented amount of smoke, so much so that in the aerial photography of reconnaissance planes In the photo, half of Texas seems to be covered by gray-black smog-such a thick smog, its obscuring effect even exceeds that of military smoke bombs.

Because oil well fires have always been difficult to extinguish, and the United States in a state of anarchy simply does not have the ability to organize fire fighting.Therefore, the oil fire burning in Texas is bound to last for a long time, and the smoke produced will make the southern part of Texas and the adjacent northern border of Mexico suffer a considerable period of time. For a period of time, it was in a smog that never dissipated, and the local survivors suffered from respiratory diseases.As for the ecological environment in Texas, how long it will take to return to an acceptable state is currently unknown.

In other parts of the United States, human beings who survived the nuclear explosion are facing the threat and test of famine.Although the United States is known as the chosen country, its food production is extremely abundant.But if you analyze it carefully, the distribution of food production in the United States is still uneven.The coasts of the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River Basin are the main food production areas in the United States, while many states in the arid and semi-arid areas of the west need to import food from other agricultural states.However, with the collapse of transportation in the United States caused by a comprehensive nuclear strike, large-scale long-distance transportation of agricultural products has become an impossible task.

In fact, before the end of World War III and the unconditional surrender of the United States, with the collapse of domestic transportation, the U.S. government had already lost its ability to allocate domestic resources.Not long after the war officially ended, Washington, the federal capital, was turned into ruins amid the looting of armed bandits.So far, apart from the little order in the Tacoma Port in Washington State occupied by the Japanese army, the entire territory of the United States and Canada has completely entered a state of anarchy, and the social outlook has basically regressed back to the colonial era before the Industrial Revolution. It is far worse.

In addition, although the global abnormally low temperature climate caused by the Icelandic volcanic eruption is now coming to an end, due to the collapse of the industrial base and the disintegration of social order, the remaining farmers in the central states of the United States have fallen into a situation where there is no chemical fertilizer, no pesticide, no In the dark age of improved seeds, destruction of irrigation facilities, and no security guarantee, the avalanche of food production and the spread of famine for a long period of time are a foregone conclusion.

However, even in such a hopeless, dilapidated and decadent radiation wasteland, all kinds of ambitious political and military groups still emerged, vying for power and profit with each other under their respective banners.Among them, the aboriginal Indians in the United States, because they were driven to the Indian reservations in the wilderness, away from big cities and prosperous areas, instead, they basically preserved their strength completely under the blanket nuclear strikes of the Soviet strategic air force.

After the war ended and the nuclear strikes stopped, some Indian chiefs led their troops out of the reserved area, seized from the whites those pastures, farms and warehouses that had not been destroyed, and even went one step further, trying to fight against the turmoil of the collapse of the Federation. A country of its own.

For example, in the remote mountainous areas of the southwestern United States, the Navajo people, famous for producing "Windtalkers", announced the establishment of the Navajo Republic, enclosing the land of three states on the map in one go.In the northern part of the five major lakes, the Indians who walked out of the reservation area erected the battle flag of the Iroquois Union, rowed small boats to attack the white refugees everywhere, and declared in mimeograph leaflets and radio broadcasts that "the ancestors will be taken back from the whites." land".

At the same time, after discovering that the country had fallen into a power vacuum, African Americans were not to be outdone, and established the "Mississippi Freedom Commune" in rural Mississippi, the Black Panther Party in Georgia, and a series of other armed groups. North America after the White Scramble.

In order to further divide the United States and to defeat or at least delay the recovery of this chosen country, according to the Kremlin's instructions, the "GRU" agents have secretly provided these colored armed groups with a certain amount of arms, ammunition and living supplies , Also dispatched military advisers to guide operations.

On the other hand, in the face of massive counterattacks by people of color, the remaining white Americans are also desperately resisting.In the southern states of the eastern United States, the Ku Klux Klan, a veteran terrorist organization, has revived and raised the Confederate flag from the Civil War era, claiming to restore the Confederate States of America.In the northern states of the eastern United States, a white armed group called the Brotherhood of Steel has emerged, trying to establish a new regime on the wasteland of the nuclear explosion.

In addition, the last owner of the White House in the United States, the last acting president of the federal government, Lynton Baines Johnson, tried to get three merchant ships and a gunboat after he escaped from Washington, which was burned by mobs. Leaving the North American continent, I came to the southeastern edge of the Caribbean Sea, the American colony of Puerto Rico, which was lucky enough not to encounter a nuclear explosion.Then, President Johnson and his followers re-erected the flag of the United States of America here, claiming to be the orthodox successor of the federal government, and blasphemy on the radio, demanding that all forces in the country obey their leadership and command.

Since Puerto Rico is no longer in the United States, but has always been ruled by the US government, it cannot be regarded as a foreign country. Considering the name of the government-in-exile is not good, President Johnson called himself the Enclave (Enclave, free translation is an enclave) government, and the troops under his command Also known as the Enclave.

In addition, in the area around the ruins of San Francisco where the US unconditional surrender agreement was signed, Captain John F. Kennedy, who once participated in the ceremony as a representative of the US Navy, also brought a group of subordinates who did not know where to find them, and announced the establishment of the New California Republic. The President of the New California Republic—However, based on the photos taken by the reconnaissance plane in the area, it seems that it is more appropriate to call him the mayor.

Then, as a representative of the U.S. Air Force, Captain George Bush, who participated in the unconditional surrender ceremony in San Francisco, also came to Texas, and occupied a small piece of land, announcing the establishment of the New Texas Republic, the same Self-appointed President of Texas.

Although according to the detailed information that has been obtained so far, whether it is the New California Republic on the west coast or the New Texas Republic on the east coast, their actual territory is only equivalent to a small town.However, since the leaders of the two parties, Captain Kennedy and Captain Bush, somehow have high-power radio stations, through exaggerated publicity, some powerful illusions are created-President Johnson, President Kennedy and President Bush The various verbal battles on the radio between the two became the most well-known news dissemination channel in the United States after the war.

In general, North America, which once had a population of 5000 million at its peak, will not exceed 3000 million after the war, even according to the most optimistic estimates, which is not as good as any population before the war. A major European power.Moreover, after losing a population of 2000 million to 3000 million in a short period of time, the balance of power among the various ethnic groups and races in North America has been broken, and the divisions and confrontations between different ethnic groups have intensified immediately. The country's national cohesion has almost completely disappeared, and violence and death are about to become the main theme of North America's next stage.

Conclusion
As the longest, bloodiest, and costliest global war in human history, in the two world wars that just ended, almost the entire population of the world was involved in the war, and the battlefields covered all land except Antarctica. The continent inhabited by humans has caused the death of an estimated one billion people and the homelessness of tens of millions of refugees.In addition, the ten-year war has also brought unprecedented subversive impact on the human civilization and society on the entire earth.Even after the end of the war, many social and environmental crises of extreme severity still remain in various parts of the world.

The catastrophe, destruction and transformation brought to the world by the ten-year war may only be compared with the Mongolian Western Expedition 700 years ago.

However, although the ten-year war has brought such tragic disasters and nightmares to mankind, blood and fire are also indispensable in every progress and transformation of human society, and the necessary price that has to be paid .In short, through these two earth-shaking world wars, the decadent old capitalist system was basically buried on a global scale, and the dawn of a new era has also come amidst the ruins of the world wars.

There is reason to believe that with the joint efforts of the working people all over the world and relying on the advantages of advanced systems, the human world will surely be able to recover quickly from the ruins after the war, and the proletariat **** that has been established in most parts of the world , will be consolidated and prospered accordingly.

The two ensuing global wars are not only painful lessons for all mankind, but also the only way for human society to move towards a bright future.

Note: Due to the rush of time, the end of the war is less than half a year, and various surveys and statistics have just started. Some of the figures presented in this report are likely to be inaccurate, and there may even be a large degree of errors and omissions.Because the Committee has only obtained relatively accurate and reliable statistical data from countries in the European continent.The data provided by East Asian countries are relatively unreliable, and even contradict each other.As for the data in anarchic regions such as the Americas and South Asia, they can only rely on estimation and speculation to a large extent, and the accuracy cannot be overestimated.

Moreover, during the two protracted world wars, large-scale population movements of more than one million people occurred many times around the world, which further increased the difficulty of statistics.For example, before and after World War II, more than 400 million Europeans fled to the United States one after another.During World War III, another 200 million to 300 million Italians, French and Spaniards followed the fleeing American and British allied forces, fled from their homeland in Europe to North Africa, from North Africa to West Asia, from West Asia to Black Africa, and then from Black Africa Flee to the United States, and finally escape from the United States to South Africa again.Every time they flee, there will be a large reduction in the number of refugees, but more people will join the fleeing team halfway, making it difficult to make accurate statistics afterwards.

There is a similar phenomenon in East Asia. For example, the leader of the reactionary bourgeois government in China, Chairman Chiang and his followers, took about 50 to 100 million people and fled from China to the United States on the eve and early stage of the Third World War. At the end of World War III, he fled from the United States to Africa.

After the war ended, Generalissimo Chiang himself hung up the signboard of the Chinese National Government-in-Exile on the ranch on the edge of the Namibian desert, and led his whole family to herd cattle for a living, while many of his followers died in the process of fleeing thousands of miles. There are also living Chinese exiles scattered all over the world.It is really a headache to determine which region these transcontinental floating population should be classified into for statistics.

There is also the leader of the Japanese puppet government supported by the invading US military, the former Japanese army general Renya Mutaguchi, who also brought many Japanese pro-American elements, and followed the retreating US troops from Japan to the United States in exile.Next, some of the Japanese exiles fled from the United States to South Africa.

(Currently, Mutaguchi Renya is on the streets of Johannesburg, making a living by shining shoes for others, but he still wears a large medal on his chest, claims to be the Prime Minister of Japan, and hangs the words "Japan in exile" on his shoe-shine booth. Government" brand, seems to have a talent for comedians.)
Due to the existence and frequent occurrence of these large-scale intercontinental population movements, there are bound to be a large number of repeated statistics and statistical omissions in the various population data cited in this report. Before further accurate investigations, it seems impossible to solve this problem. Thank you for your understanding.
