Many economists believe that Latin America's economy in the 19th century was similar to that of North America, but in fact, in terms of railroad construction, it was far from the same. The United States has invested about $200 million in the construction of railways, while there are very few Latin American countries, and Chile, which is relatively rich because of its rich mineral resources, built railways earlier and is quite rudimentary.

Latin American countries are basically unable to build railways because of the frequent civil wars in the first war, and it is basically impossible for the new government to build railways without the intervention of foreign capital. This provides a good opportunity for a careerist and a chaebol boss. Don't you have no money? The last thing we need in the Windsor consortium is money, and the Bank of Zurich can provide low-interest loans, or even interest-free loans, to all countries involved in the Amazon rainforest, on the condition that the decision-making power over the forestry policy of the tropical rainforests in the territory is handed over to the Bank of Zurich.

These countries include Brazil, Peru, Granada, Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia, Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana. Needless to say, Granada had already been occupied by the Japanese army sent by the East India Company, and Peru was close to Granada, and there was an urgent need to build a railway to develop the economy. The Peruvian government listened to the explanation of the Bank of Zurich that this loan was quite generous, and even if there was no project, it could make a lot of money by lending again, so the Peruvian government was the first to be tempted.

Venezuela had just come out of Gran Colombia** and was wary of Granada, so they were waiting to see what they were doing. Brazil has most of the Amazon rainforest, and this huge rainforest is so large that the Brazilian government sees it as a gem and is reluctant to give away its forestry policy, no matter how much money it is, and they are the biggest obstacle for careerists to seek the Amazon.

Ecuador is also a neighbor of Granada, joining Venezuela on the sidelines. Bolivia and Guyana also became "observers", while Suriname was a Dutch colony, not to mention French Guiana, all NATO hostile forces disdainful of the outlandish machinations of careerists.

The Peruvian government plans to build 1,200 miles of railways within 10 years, with a total investment of 8 million pounds. After negotiating with the Bank of Zurich, elected President Castilla confirmed that the Peruvian Congress had the right to veto the proposal of the "Amazon Forestry Policy Committee" by a two-thirds majority, and began to negotiate how low the low-interest loan should be.

The preferential tier given by the Bank of Zurich is as follows: 7% interest (normal bank loan price) for 30 years of forestry policy power, 5% for 60 years, 3% for 100 years, 1% for 200 years and no interest for 500 years.

The £8 million interest-free loan is really tempting, and the parliament still has the right of veto anyway, and this deal is very profitable. As a result, the Bank of Zurich acquired 23% of the forestry management rights, including the Granada rainforest. How much money can be made in forestry? The capitalists have thought that the Windsor consortium is so hot that there is so much money or whatever. Downing's argument of "protecting the rainforest" was dismissed as a rejection.

The East India Company did not seem to be in charge of the internal affairs of the Granada government, which made the new coup government more and more assertive, and they changed the name of the country to the more familiar "United States of Colombia". The Colombian government, which owns a smaller area of rainforest, also received an interest-free loan of £8 million to build the railway in order to compensate for the collapse of the Chagris River due to the Panama Canal. However, a large part of the £8 million went back to Downing's purse, because the Panama Canal was completed, and a large number of its construction machinery could be used to open mountains and build bridges and build railways.

After several twists and turns, the Brazilian Empire was established with the Portuguese nobility as the emperor, the land area has been quite huge, more than 8 million square kilometers, and under the leadership of Pedro II to actively promote industrialization, its cotton, tobacco, cocoa beans, rubber and Paraguayan holly are bulk export products, bringing vitality to the economy of the Brazilian Empire, but also for Pedro II to bring the confidence of a great power, which is a country larger than the entire United States.

The United States now has a land area of about 7.85 million square kilometers, excluding Alaska, Russia wants to resell Alaska to the United States, but the Americans believe that the treaty between Russia and Japan has come into force, under the protection of the Windsor consortium, Japan is not a soft persimmon now, Alaska is so cold, and it is not a place where soldiers must fight, so Russia seems to have smashed Alaska in its hands, judging from the current naval strength of the East India Company, The probability of Russia losing Alaska is as high as the probability of a girl lying about her virgin pregnancy.

The confident emperor of Brazil flatly rejected the Bank of Zurich's plan to control its forestry policies, and Tangning's long-planned economic sanctions program was quietly launched. Wholesale supermarkets began to reject agricultural products produced in Brazil, which was the hegemony of the wholesale industry. The Suez Canal Company, which controls key industries such as fertilizers, food preservatives and food packaging, has also raised prices for Brazilian businesses, making Brazilian agricultural products less of their international competitiveness. Not to mention rubber, the most important automotive product, which was originally purchased in small quantities from Brazil's wild rubber, is now abandoned. Brazil's proud coffee has been abandoned by strong brands like Java Instant Coffee and Ice Queen.

In order to consolidate his rule, Pedro used the powers granted by the constitution to dissolve the lower house of commons with a liberal majority and re-elect conservative parliamentarians to suppress the liberal forces. He pardoned the rebels in the provinces and expelled them from the country. Careerists are gathering information to get these republicans back one by one......

Although it was a conspiracy of careerists, because it was linked to the previous forestry attempts, the Brazilians soon did not notice that something was wrong, and the agricultural products began to be unsalable. Angry Brazilians asked the emperor to help them get an explanation, and Pedro II publicly claimed that it was a mad political conspiracy of the Windsor consortium, and that the forestry policy was a matter of strict interference in Brazil's internal affairs, and that as emperor, he would never allow such a thing to happen.

On the one hand, Brazil strongly condemns the dirty political methods of unscrupulous conglomerates, and on the other hand, it develops friendly relations with NATO countries, which also have many industrial enterprises that are able to absorb Brazil's increasingly dismal agricultural products. Lincoln immediately realized that this was another good partner, and strongly urged Brazil to join NATO and fight against shameless commercial hegemony.

Biologists such as Wallace are convinced of Downing's determination to protect the rainforest, though they think it seems a bit rough. Downing disagreed. What is this? In order to bring down the strong US tariff policy, he even did things to support slavery, and the economic sanctions were simply childish.

In addition to Brazil, other Latin American countries and the American South are enjoying the historic business opportunities presented by the Brazilian-Windsor consortium economic war.

It's been a while and I'm resentful of a big country like Brazil. At this time, the news of the smallpox virus epidemic came from California, and in order to ease international public opinion, Windsor Hospital announced that all Californians would be vaccinated against smallpox free of charge. Although others have used pox to reduce the risk of smallpox, it is a very early method, scraping a sample from a sick cow and making a solution containing cowpox and applying it to the wound of a healthy person, which is unhygienic and inefficient enough. Edward Jenner, the British doctor who invented this method, inoculated his son, led to a dispute with his wife, and was even said to have been mad and wanted to kill his son.

Although the California government and the Windsor consortium are at war, for the sake of people's health, they hurriedly applied to the federal government for permission to allow Windsor Hospital to enter California. Lincoln quickly agreed to the California government's request, and he didn't want the tragedy of his beloved son to happen to so many parents in California.

With the California government following its example, the rest of the states with sporadic smallpox outbreaks quickly followed suit, and soon the entire United States was granted permission to practice medicine commercially at Windsor Hospital, but they were not so lucky, and the government needed to pay for the efficient and safe vaccine at Windsor.

The smallpox virus is the largest virus capable of causing disease in humans, reaching up to 400 nanometers, which is just the length that can be seen with a light microscope. Because of the deep liberal and religious atmosphere in the United States, some local governments oppose vaccination, an unnatural and contrary to God's will, thus hindering the process of vaccinating the whole population. Nature was quick to explain in detail why the vaccine invented at Windsor Hospital was highly effective and non-toxic. It turned out that Windsor Hospital had already used a transmission electron microscope, which was able to observe the scale limit of 0 on an electron oscilloscope. 1 nanometer object, this is a technology created when studying nanogold, if you can't even see it, how can you control the birth of nanogold? Electron microscopy can carefully observe the virulence characteristics of smallpox virus and the characteristics after inactivation, so it can ensure the safety and efficiency of vaccines.

According to a god-level biologist, this extremely tiny organism breaks through various defense mechanisms of cells with the help of a small medium (such as polypeptide sugar) and directly uses the entire genetic material replication system of cells to proliferate. Because the individual is too small, and there are no superfluous metabolic links, so there are very few weaknesses, and humans will not be able to directly kill the virus for a long time, and the vaccine as a defensive mechanism will become the only effective way for humans to deal with various viruses for a long time.

After this technology was announced, all the NATO countries were dumbfounded, damn, who are these people who are fighting with us, inventing anything at will seems to have been brought from an alien civilization, is it necessary for us to continue? Especially in the commercial atmosphere of the Americans, war-weariness is growing.

Of course, there are many benefits of NATO's joint efforts, and it does not mean that you can give up if you give up, for example: in order to improve NATO's combat effectiveness, Prussia opened the secret of steelmaking to NATO countries with companies led by Krupp, and coupled with tariffs, it was almost impossible for British steel companies to sell their products to the north of the United States. This is the equivalent of NATO's version of economic sanctions. How can such a good ally be abandoned?

Of course, the technology of the Prussians is one level behind the British steel company, because BS uses pure oxygen steelmaking, without the interference of nitrogen, the quality is higher, and the speed is faster, if there are no tariffs, the high-end market will still be ruled by BS, and now, the American market is naturally Carnegie's world.

The French's penicillin mass production technology was also quickly licensed to NATO member states for military use, and it was difficult for civilian use to compete with the advantages of Windsor's multiple antibacterial drugs and the large number of clinical numbers generated by patient trust.

Of course, the Americans were not idle, and made great efforts to salvage the sunken heavy cruiser Fieprai, in an attempt to discover the mystery of its high speed, high rate of fire of naval guns, and great power. The sunken battleship held out until the water depth reached a depth of 100 meters, before it sank completely. Because the sailors of the East India Company Navy probably knew that it was very deep, they did not have to worry about the other party being able to salvage it, but ......

The king class is a 10,000-ton ship, and it is not generally difficult to drag such a sinking ship, but it is even more difficult to dive to a place of 100 meters to salvage. Deep diving is a very dangerous sport. With only 10 meters of depth, the water pressure can reach two atmospheres, at which point the air in the lungs is compressed to half the volume, and when he rises, if he cannot exhale this compressed gas, his volume will double, which may lead to excessive expansion of the lungs, or even death. It's hard to imagine how dangerous 100 meters can be.

When a diver rises from underwater, the air in the lungs expands as the pressure decreases, causing bubbles to appear in the bloodstream, causing the diver's bubbles to block the blood vessels, and if the bubbles block the cerebral blood vessels, it can cause stroke-like consequences. (http:/／.）。 An air embolism is a very urgent condition that can lead to the death of the diver.

The three major components of the air: oxygen, carbon dioxide and nitrogen, which are good friends of human beings at normal air pressure, are all dangerous killers under high pressure. A high partial pressure of oxygen leads to oxygen poisoning, a high partial pressure of carbon dioxide causes impaired consciousness, and a high partial pressure of nitrogen causes nitrogen anesthesia similar to alcoholism. Around 100 meters, almost all strong divers will push the working capacity.

It was under such circumstances that the brave and tenacious American GIs played with their lives to salvage the sunken Feeperai. After two months of painstaking salvage, the Americans finally completed the almost impossible task of tying the rope to the sunken ship without modern diving technology, for which they sacrificed 10 excellent divers, and 35 divers were seriously injured and could be disabled for life.

The U.S. military held a state funeral for the dead GIs, and the gorgeous Star-Spangled Banner covered their remains, and U.S. President Lincoln, who had come to the funeral in a low-key manner, gave a brief speech with tears in his eyes, and at the end, he said, "We must win!" God bless America! He turned his head to look at the two words on the hull of the Feeperai, and seemed to feel a hint of extraordinary meaning.
