Chapter 1429: Breaking Defense and Breaking Defense Again (Third update, please subscribe)

What is the most hurtful thing in this world?

Of course the truth hurts the most!
On this day, Allende's defense was really broken!

The reason why he was defeated was not because of anything else, but because of that sentence - "This house may not belong to me, but sir, I really don't know what here doesn't belong to me..."

In fact, sometimes, many things are like this. When people keep saying that everything belongs to everyone, many people have nothing. It is just like the game of power in Western countries. It is said that everything belongs to everyone, but in fact it only belongs to the rich and their agents.

This is the nature of this world.

And here?
"Those houses may not belong to them, and their names may not be on them, but all of them can live in them as long as they get married. There is no need to pay a huge loan or any other costs."

Allende whispered:
"Yes, they seem to have nothing, but what is the reality?"

In fact, how could they have nothing?

Of course, to those who are prejudiced, the people here really have nothing. Their houses do not have personal names written on them like in the West, nor do they clearly tell the world like in Eastern countries that the houses belong to everyone.

So, they really have nothing. Even though Alane's defense was broken to a certain extent, it still did not change his impression of this place - this is a region where everything belongs to big companies and capital.

But even so, during the rest of the visit, Allende was so surprised that he was speechless.

"is this real?"

Being in a modern automobile factory that looked like a future world, Allende was stunned by the welding robots and robotic arms.

For people from Chile, let alone such industrial robots, even large-scale production lines would shock them speechless.

After all, to a certain extent, in Chile, except for copper mines, its industry is backward. Its industrial level is mostly still in the early 20th century, and its industrial subjects are still extremely limited. Suddenly, faced with the black technology here, they don’t know how to describe their feelings at all.

"There's no need for people to operate these machines. My God! Is this science fiction?"

Maduro looked at the machines in surprise. In his limited knowledge, it seemed that such scenes only existed in science fiction novels.

But Allende on the side said to him.

“This is reality.”

"I know this is real even though my eyes won't tell me."

Maduro said, looking at his friends around him.

"But don't you think it's all so magical?"

"You mean the machines here?"

"No,"

Maduro shook his head vigorously and said:
"Is it the machine I'm talking about? I'm talking about this place, my friend, you have to understand that everything here was built in less than 20 years.

Isn’t this a miracle?”

In response to his friend's words, Allende opened his mouth but said nothing.

Then he heard his friend say:
"You see, it took them only 20 years to build everything, including this factory that looks like the future. Everything here was built and created by them.

Can you imagine? "

Can you imagine it?

The seemingly simple rhetorical question was like a sudden blow to Allende's heart, leaving him speechless for a moment.

He looked at the factory in front of him and the people around him, his brows furrowed, because he suddenly had a feeling that these people seemed to be conquered by the factory in front of him.

It was not the factory that conquered me, but the land and the miracles it presented.

They had heard of the "Equator Miracle" countless times in the past.

But now?
What they witnessed here was indeed a miracle, and everything before their eyes was telling them one fact - everything created here was worthy of being a miracle.

One can even say that everything here can only be described as a miracle.

After leaving the car factory, whether it was Allende, Maduro or other people in the delegation, they sat on the bus, and everyone was silent.

In the past few days, they visited many factories and enterprises, and witnessed the advanced industrial technology and the prosperous economy of this land, but now they all fell into deep thought. "It's only been less than 20 years."

In the carriage, a local congressman said.

"Can you imagine that they created all of this in less than 20 years?"

No one answered his question because everyone knew that since Chile's independence.

They have been gone for over 100 years.

Even though Chile experienced economic prosperity during World War II, its industrial economy made great progress by exporting copper and other materials, so what?

Whether it was guano and saltpeter in the 19th century or copper in the 20th century, perhaps it was the prosperity and Chile's economy to a certain extent that made them all say proudly - we are successful.

But, so what?

Their success pales in comparison to the success of this land.

"You can imagine it."

At this time, Allende broke the silence in the car.

"Because this place is completely different from other regions we have come into contact with, we only see the development here, but not the other side of it. In fact, for the United States, this is the forefront of their confrontation with the Soviet Union, so in the past decade or so, the Americans have provided them with a lot of military, economic and other assistance."

Allende's voice rang out in the carriage.

"In fact, this place has long been a bargaining chip in the game between the United States and the Soviet Union. This is the fundamental reason why the United States has turned a blind eye to everything done in this place."

Allende's explanation seemed to explain to some extent the reason for the economic boom of this land. After he said this point of view, it immediately aroused the approval of others in the car. It seemed that this was the reason for the rise of this land. Of course, their conversation was sent to the official residence just a few hours later and sent to Zhang Zheyuan. Looking through Allende's speech, he said in a contemptuous tone.

“This guy may be a good MD, but he’s an absolute idiot when it comes to financial matters.”

Zhang Zheyuan said bluntly.

"We received a lot of aid from the United States as a regional representative of the United States. However, the most fundamental reason for us to have good relations with the United States and the United Kingdom is to establish connections with the Western market. It is because we have opened up this market that we have the foundation for development."

In fact, Zhang Zheyuan and other local senior officials have a very clear understanding of the so-called "Equator Miracle". They know very well where the economic miracle here comes from.
“On the other hand, the influx of immigrants from Europe and Asia has led to a dramatic change in the demographic structure here, which has not only enriched our highly qualified workforce;

Some people even come here with capital and projects, and all these factors make our industrial development a natural outcome.”

Hearing what he said, Zhao Peiqi, who was sitting opposite him, also expressed his agreement.

"Yes, more than a decade ago, when we first came here, we passed the Industrial Investment Law and began to vigorously develop industrial investment. It was not just our own investment, but also encouraged private investment."

Zhao Peiqi, who came from the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, knew very well that the economic development miracle here originated from there.

"At that time, we, I mean all of us, not just the ministry, but every one of us was like fighting a war. We went all out to develop the economy. I remember that at the peak, I had to visit more than 30 factories a day. Every day I rode a bicycle in the industrial park, asking those factory owners what they needed and providing them with all kinds of help..."

Zhao Peiqi's eyes were filled with nostalgia as he recalled the past. Even though he has now become a general manager of the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, every time he recalled everything, he always missed the passion of the past. That was his youth, and all the success here left their footprints.

"Yes, just as you said - now is the time to go all out to develop the economy!"

Zhang Zheyuan said:
“We are different from other places. After the Second World War, some places were plunged into war, some places had endless arguments by politicians, and some places had endless fights between locals and colonizers. But what about us?

Under your leadership, we have been working hard to develop the economy. We have seized the favorable opportunity and developed our economy. Peggy, do you remember the newspaper saying that in July 45, when the first batch of clothes and shoes we produced appeared in the European market, the reaction of those Europeans?"

Hearing his question, Zhao Peiqi immediately said:
"How could I not remember? They rushed to buy those products like crazy. Even now, many Europeans say that our products helped them get through the difficult period after the war when they mention our products! It was also from that time that we fully opened up the European market and the American market. At that time, the American market had not yet ended its regulation, and our products just filled the gap in the market..."

Sometimes, opportunities are just like this, opportunities are just so fleeting

"The war wasn't over yet, but our products had already appeared in Europe and America. It was thanks to this market opportunity and your correct guidance that we have achieved our current success. But they thought..."

Zhang Zheyuan raised the report in his hand with contempt and sneered:
"It is ridiculous that we rely solely on aid from the United States. These guys are actually senators. With them around, Chile will always be just Chile. If they come to power, it will be God's blessing if they don't ruin the economy!"

Listening to his judgment, Zhao Peiqi laughed:
"Oh, we don't have to worry about them. By the way, will you visit the United States during your visit to Europe?"

Zhao Peiqi looked at the director of the secretariat in front of him. After His Excellency's visit, he was basically in charge of the affairs of the official residence, so he asked:

"You have not visited the United States for more than a year. The United States is our important trading partner. It seems inappropriate not to go! Especially this time when you visit European countries, will you leave the United States aside? Will it cause dissatisfaction in Washington?"

Hearing what Zhao Peiqi said, Zhang Zheyuan shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and then said:
"There is nothing we can do about it. The person in Washington doesn't have a close relationship with us, so naturally, you won't go to the United States..."
