To the south of Cairo, the scenery around him became more and more desolate. In addition to a few tourist cities, the whole of Egypt was large tracts of farmland. Cities were scattered along both sides of the Nile River. The pedestrians around him gradually lost their shrewdness, revealing a sense of embarrassment and dullness. In fact, it was like Egypt in the late 1960s.
If you open your eyes to the whole world, you will find that in this world, most countries are still in the late stage of agricultural countries.
Except for a few economically developed areas in Western Europe, North America, East Asia, and Australia, most other countries and regions are still in an agricultural society. Even Egypt, the strongest country in Africa, except for a few industrial tourist cities, other places are like in the 1960s. It seems that time here has never moved forward after 1960.
After the UPA made a breakthrough in industrial, energy, and artificial intelligence revolution, and became a national alliance that can travel across galaxies, this geographical division became more and more obvious.
On this planet: the three allied countries of the UPA have entered the interstellar era, and as a whole have entered a communist society, which is the first world. Countries such as the United States and Australia are still economically prosperous, and industry supports the backbone of the entire society. They have entered the late stage of capitalism, which is the second world. In countries such as India, Southeast Asia, and Egypt, some areas have entered the early stage of capitalism. In urbanized areas such as Mumbai, people are still living in an industrialized society, which is the third world; but in the countryside outside the cities, time seems to have stopped there …
The Nazis also did well in South America. Originally, after the establishment of the UPA, economic globalization went bankrupt, and South America fell into a period of huge recession, almost into the fourth world. But after the Nazis occupied South America, with the technological strength of Hydra and the seriousness of the Nazis, they actually carried out a wave of industrialization, forcibly extending the life of South America, and now they are doing better than India. "
But in the African continent, outside of Egypt, the places with cities may be called the fourth world … There is water, electricity, and some primary industrial products. Apart from that, industry has nothing to do with them. After the establishment of the UPA, the division of the whole world, and the bankruptcy of globalization since World War II, all these countries returned to their original state.
In the vast land outside these cities, human activities almost declined to the Iron Age — except for iron, there are few means of production related to industry.
This place used to be rich in resources and was a battleground for many countries. The African people often criticized developed countries such as China, Europe, and the United States for plundering their resources. However, after the establishment of the People's Revolutionary Alliance and entering the interstellar era, the asteroid belt and extraterrestrial planets had a lot of resources that did not cost money.
Only then did the African people realize that what was worse than being plundered was not even having the right to be plundered.
The capitalists did not come here to do charity … Along the way, the mines were abandoned, the factories closed down, and the roads were no longer maintained. The further they got from Cairo, it was as if they were gradually walking out of a civilized society. The black people by the roadside looked numb, and the road under the car was in tatters.
Globalization failed, and the world was divided. Just three years later, this place was beaten back to its original state, almost returning to the state of primitive tribes.
Strange watched these changes and said with sorrow: "When China needs this place, it will build roads, high-rise buildings, mines and factories here, but once it no longer needs this place, it will be destroyed. Just throw it away like a pair of shoes … "
"The Earth is full of dangers in the universe, and the People's Revolutionary Alliance can't even protect itself, how can it come here to save the world and save the black people?" Chen Ang said with a smile.
"The People's Revolutionary Alliance closed its country and closed its relations with other countries, which is too harmful to the world's economic development! It is almost equivalent to the whole of Europe, half of Central Asia, and the whole of East Asia, a wide area across Asia and Europe, closed and independent, accounting for two-thirds of the world's industrialized countries. The closure of such a large market and source of investment has a fatal impact on these countries that have always been the division of labor in the world market. "
"So the new president of the United States did not save the world after coming to power!" Chen Ang looked at Strange with a faint smile and said: "Instead, they pulled in India, Southeast Asia, Australia and Canada, formed their own small economic circle, returned to industrialization, and gave up other regions?"
"The separation of the third and fourth worlds is the result of the joint action of the People's Revolutionary Alliance and the Pacific and Indian Oceans Economic Alliances of the United States. The Earth is being divided into four dimensions, and the whole world is like the Earth in four different dimensions! "
"The closure of the People's Revolutionary Alliance is due to the gap between the old and the new human origins, and the United States is closed because it is independent."
"The entire human society on the Earth is like four parallel Earths divided into four. One world cultivates the universe, roams the sea of stars, and absorbs tens of millions of resource planets to support the development of civilization. It makes a name for itself in the Milky Way, and is naturally another rising interstellar civilization. "
"The other world is industrialized, and although the economy is impacted, it is generally developing well. In the face of the collapse of globalization, it is more than enough to protect itself, and gradually gives up global hegemony. First, it retreats for domestic industry to develop again, and second, it advances the People's Revolutionary Alliance to expand outside the planet. Other countries can also enjoy the international order established by the United States by latching onto its thigh. If not for the deterrence of the People's Revolutionary Alliance in the front and the hostility of the Nazis in the back, it can still be said to be peaceful. "
"The third world, under the wave of global economic isolation, can only protect itself. Countries like Egypt and the Middle East can still latch onto the thigh of the United States, sell their resources, and keep the main cities from declining. South Africa is miserable … falling into the abyss! They are like isolated islands and reefs that emerge after being submerged by the waves. Even the duality of the entire country, cities and villages are separated. "
"The fourth world has been almost forgotten outside of civilized society, and has become a primitive and closed tribe. It can almost be said to have regressed back to the feudal society! "
"The entire world, under the wave of global economic isolation, although still connected in space, has been divided into several completely different worlds in economy and society … This is the Earth in the post-industrial era. This is the change in the world after the Year of Arrival … "
All the way to North Sudan, there were fewer and fewer vehicles on the road … Some abandoned cars were parked on the side of the road, and the iron sheet on the car body had been peeled off by the hardworking African people, leaving only an abandoned messy body rusting by the side of the road.
Then there was a fallen tree blocking their way. Strange got out of the car and looked at the trunk that had obviously fallen for a few days, and exclaimed, "Oh my god! Are there no cars here? There are obstacles on the road, and no one has dealt with it for a few days? "
"There are no cars here!" The black wizard said indifferently as he sat in the car.
Strange was puzzled. "Am I on an alien planet? I don't believe that no one in Africa can buy a car. "
"What's the use of buying a car if you can't buy oil? If you can buy oil, is it just for a few people to drive and maintain the road? "The wizard rolled his eyes and said," The white man has left! The businessmen have left! They have abandoned the factories and shops here, leaving only the black people. What's the use of the road? "
Strange was shocked. "But you are an oil-producing country! You can refine the oil yourself! "
"The engineers have left. The investors have left. If we can't buy the machinery, we can't sell the oil … what's the use of the oil refinery? Stark has invented a new energy source, and now the oil price is so low that only the Middle East can sell it … Africa has long stopped producing oil! "The wizard spread out his hands.
"We have to move this thing away!" Strange complained. "Oh my god! We should have asked S.H.I.E.L.D. to send us to Wakanda! Why do we have to drive there? "
"If S.H.I.E.L.D. sends us there … then there's no real Wakanda! Only one of the poorest countries in Africa, Wakanda. And your Suspending Ring can't teleport you there. There's a space surveillance system there. I don't want to be chased like a dog as soon as I get there! "Chen Ang also got out of the car and looked at the big tree blocking the road.
He took out the voodoo doll and threw it to Strange. The wizard in the car looked nervous, afraid that the doll would fall to the ground.
Strange reached out and caught the voodoo doll. The wizard in the car seemed to have hit a wall of air. Strange reached out and touched the voodoo doll, then grabbed the doll's hands and feet, like a little girl playing house, manipulating the doll to open the door and get out of the car.
His movements were quite rough. Obviously, playing with dolls like a little girl was not Strange's hobby. The wizard's body seemed to be controlled and moved involuntarily. He stood up with a big movement and hit his head hard. He had to open his mouth and complain, "Be gentle, man! You're controlling me, not playing with a doll! "
Strange's face darkened. He controlled the wizard's body to lift the big tree and throw the obstacle to the side.
"You should find a way to develop a spell to control the doll!" Chen Ang said sarcastically. "Otherwise, this resurrected corpse will be completely wasted!"
"You can let him move on his own!" Strange complained. "His soul-attached doll is in your hands, so it will definitely listen to you!"
"Resurrected corpses can only be of greatest value under the control of a wizard!" Chen Ang took the voodoo doll from him and twisted it twice. The wizard's body made a series of movements that were absolutely impossible for a human body to do. Chen Ang grabbed the voodoo doll's forearm and lifted it up. The wizard in front of him soared into the sky and flew into the air, making the classic gesture of Superman.
"Look … Is this something he can do by himself?" Chen Ang threw the doll back into Strange's hands.
The wizard in the sky flew into the distance … or rather, was thrown. His body seemed to be thrown back by an invisible force and then smashed to the ground.
The wizard's face maintained a desperate expression.
