The Boeing 737 roared down safely from the Silvio petirossi International Airport in Asunci ó n, Paraguay. This airport, also known as Asunci ó n international airport, is one of the only two international airports in Paraguay and the largest airport in Paraguay.
Asuncion is the capital of Paraguay, the largest city in Paraguay and one of the oldest cities in South America.
When the Spanish arrived here on August 15, 1537, it was the Catholic ascension day of the Virgin Mary. In Spanish, ascension day is pronounced "Asuncion", so Asuncion has become the name of the city.
In other words, this city has a history of more than 480 years!
However, although the city has a long history, it is really not very developed. Paraguay itself is one of the poorest countries in South America. As the only two landlocked countries in South America, Paraguay, like its neighbor Bolivia, is a poor country.
In a country with a population of only 7 million, the total annual GDP is less than 30 billion US dollars. Tianqu City, Yang Jing's hometown, has a total population of 5.8 million, but its total annual GDP is 47 billion US dollars!
In other words, the total annual GDP of a fourth tier city in China is 1.5 times that of Paraguay!
The poverty of Paraguay can be imagined.
In fact, there are few major cities in Paraguay. Apart from Asunci ó n, which has a population of more than 500000, Dongfang City, located on the Parana River, is the second largest city in Paraguay, and the combined population of Asunci ó N and Dongfang City accounts for one eighth of the population of Paraguay!
As the capital of Paraguay, there are no high-rise buildings in this city on the East Bank of the Paraguay River. Only a few buildings are only 30 stories high
However, it is said that Asuncion's beach is still very beautiful. Perhaps because Paraguay is a landlocked country, the residents here yearn for beaches very much, so they built a large number of beaches on the beaches of the Paraguay River to imitate the beaches on the sea.
It's a little sad to say about this, but there's no way, really no way. If you want to blame it, blame Quaresma
In fact, Paraguay used to have access to the sea. From 1810 to 1825 in the early 19th century, the independence movement in Latin America forced Spain to give up colonial rule over most Latin American countries. Paraguay, a Spanish colony, also declared independence in June 1811.
After independence, Paraguay had a sea port on the West Bank of the Atlantic Ocean, and there was a very outstanding president in Paraguay, Carlos Antonio Lopez.
In 1944, the president replaced the dictatorship of the great dictatorship Francia and became the new president of Paraguay.
During his presidency, Lopez made great efforts to carry out reform. He sent a delegation represented by his son, little Lopez, to Britain, France, Italy and other countries, vigorously solicited immigrants, and invited European technicians to inspect the military and purchase weapons. Under the painstaking management of President Lopez, once barren Paraguay rose rapidly. He encouraged foreign trade and introduced a large number of foreign capital; Engineers from Britain and Austria were invited to help build railways, shipyards and steel plants; Hire doctors, engineers and technicians from Europe and the United States, and set up factories and schools; In 1850, the National Grand Theatre was also completed, and a Europeanized Paraguay appeared in Latin America as a powerful country.
But just as Paraguay was booming, President Lopez died of illness. However, before his death, he did something that made him the only defilement point in his life. He listed his son Francisco Solano Lopez as the "legal" successor. As a result, little Lopez became the new president of Paraguay.
In fact, President Lopez Jr. is also a very courageous person, but this guy has more experience because he made missions to European countries on behalf of his father in the early days, so his ambition began to grow.
President Lopez Jr. studied military in Europe before, learned about the new development of military technology and the importance of military construction. He worshipped Napoleon Bonaparte and highly respected Napoleon III, the French emperor at that time. In Paris, Lopez met Eliza Lynch, an Irish woman who was a high social flower. Lynch became Lopez's lover. When Lopez returned home, he brought back a large number of weapons and military materials and Lynch back to China. Lynch later had a strong impact on Lopez's ambitious plan.
Because of the diligent administration of the old president Lopez, when the younger president took over, Paraguay had become the only country in South America without foreign debt. The strong economic strength further expanded the ambition of the younger president Lopez.
After taking office, President Lopez Jr. began to vigorously expand armaments. After taking office, he reorganized the 7000 member army he inherited, and implemented a plan for rapid military expansion.
Because of his admiration for Napoleon, he asked his army to equip Napoleon's uniform. Two years later, the total number of Paraguayan troops reached 30000, and the army alone reached 25000, enough to fight Brazil and Argentina.
At this time, the Paraguayan army included 30 infantry battalions, 23 cavalry regiments and 4 artillery regiments.
In addition, little Lopez also attaches great importance to the construction of the Navy and requires domestic shipbuilding enterprises to build world-class steamships to be used as warships, update naval equipment and enhance naval strength. This has greatly increased the strength of Paraguay's navy, with a naval battalion and an artillery battalion, and the fleet uses steam ships.
At this time, two years after little Lopez came to power, in 1864, with the support of Argentina and Brazil, a coup took place in Uruguay. Vinencio Flores, leader of the Uruguayan red party, subverted benado belo, President of the Uruguayan white party supported by little Lopez.
Then Brazil began to intervene in the Uruguay war and allied with Argentina. Little Lopez judged that Brazil would soon concoct the Uruguayan model against Paraguay and overthrow his rule, so he decided to strike first.
In November 1964, little Lopez declared war on Brazil, and the Paraguayan war began. Soon, Argentina sided with Brazil and clashed with the Paraguayan army. Six months later, Paraguay officially declared war on Argentina again.
At that time, little Lopez probably did not expect that a Uruguayan civil war would eventually evolve into the largest armed conflict on the South American continent. At that time, Paraguay was the second largest in South America in terms of economic and military strength. Under the strong military oppression of little Lopez, Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay secretly signed the trilateral alliance treaty against Paraguay in Buenos Aires on May 1, 1965 and formed a trilateral alliance.
So the famous Paraguayan war broke out.
At the beginning, even in the face of the Allied forces of the three countries, little Lopez was not afraid. After all, Paraguay's military strength was stronger than that of the other three countries, and the beginning of the war also proved this.
At the beginning of the war, a series of victories made little Lopez ignore the logistics requirements of modern war. Although Paraguay's military strength has almost no enemy in South America, Paraguay's strategic depth is too small, and the most important thing is that the country's population is too small. The victory at the beginning of the war does not mean that Paraguay can win the war.
Therefore, as time went on, the Paraguay army, which began to win the battle in the field, gradually began to suck up the hardships of the logistics. Then the war began from the early victory of the Paraguay army to the strategic defense. Finally, in 1970, the war lasted seven years and the four party joined forces over five hundred thousand, and Paraguay was killed in Brazil and Brazil was killed one hundred thousand. Thirty thousand people died in Argentina, and the Allied forces of the three countries captured Asunci ó n.
The war turned all the previous efforts of the old president Lopez into water. Although the little Lopez still insisted on guerrilla warfare, the complete failure of Paraguay could not be avoided. While Paraguay failed, the country also lost 154000 square kilometers of land and access to the sea.
A war has completely changed the future of Paraguay!
If little Lopez didn't have such great ambitions, Paraguay might now be the most developed and richest country in South America, but it is because of the ambition of an autocrat that a country can't rise in the next 150 years and become one of the two poorest countries in South America.
And because of the loss of access to the sea, the country was completely trapped in the tropical rain forest in the interior of South America. The residents here even turned the river beach into a beach. This is not a kind of sadness. What is it?
There is an old saying in China that forgetting war will lead to danger, and being warlike will lead to death!
In fact, the war that should not have happened in Paraguay 150 years ago is a true portrayal of "belligerence will die".
At this time, standing in Asunci ó n, the oldest city in South America, Yang Jing, who understands this history, is helpless.
That war completely humiliated this beautiful city, completely destroyed the development potential of this country, and became the root cause of poverty in this country. Although all this has nothing to do with Yang Jing, since she came here and saw the city, Yang Jing, who is familiar with that period of history, will inevitably feel sorry.
However, Yang Jing, they will not stay in this city. After all, their purpose here is not this city, but another small town called ITA.
ITA, a small city under the jurisdiction of the central province of Paraguay, is only 35 kilometers from Asunci ó n. Although the city is not big, it has a very long history, only two years later than Asunci ó n.
This small town, built in 1539, now has a population of more than 80000. More than 60 years ago, Martin Bowman, who fled from chascomus, Argentina to Paraguay again, died of gastric cancer after living in seclusion for four years, and the guy was finally buried in a cemetery in Itar
