Chapter 389

[Science Popularization Short Video Collection Series 7. ]

[Eight, the ranking of the countries with the worst geographical location in the world. ]

[Good fortune and bad fortune are interdependent. Which countries in the world seem to be very good, but are actually at a geographical disadvantage? ]

[A good cook cannot cook without rice. ]

[Whether a country can rise depends not only on the progress of the times, but also on its own geographical conditions. ~~]

[Good geographical conditions will achieve twice the result with half the effort. ]

[For example, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Britain, France and other countries have successively received colonial dividends by virtue of their geographical location near the Atlantic Ocean. ]

[They have left their own marks in world history. ]

[On the contrary, if the geographical conditions are too poor, even if there is overwhelming wealth, it will not be able to receive much. ]

[Even no matter how hard you try, you will be dragged down. 】

【Of course, there are some countries that seem to have good geographical conditions, but are actually at a disadvantage, which affects the country's further development. 】

【So what are the disadvantages of these countries? 】

【There are many types of geographical disadvantages, the most typical of which is linkage disadvantage. 】

【Many countries seem to have a large area and a large population, but the connections between the various regions within them are barely there. 】

【No one can help anyone in a war, so they can only rely on themselves. 】

【No one can help anyone economically, so they have to make a living on their own. 】

【There are two countries that obviously have this defect. 】

【One is Indonesia, and the other is the Bear Country. 】

【Indonesia is located in Southeast Asia, which is rainy and hot, with rich resources and a total population of 270 million, making it the fourth most populous country in the world. 】

【But its territory is very fragmented. 】

【With about 17,500 islands, the country has a land area of 1.91 million square kilometers, ranking 15th in the world and becoming the world's largest island country. 】

【In comparison, the world's second largest island country is only about 590,000 square kilometers. 】

【Indonesia is a leader by a large margin, but being big does not mean being good. 】

【Indonesia has more than 6,000 inhabited islands, and the population is relatively dispersed. 】

【There are about 150 million people on Jaba Island, where the capital is located, about 58 million on Sumatra Island, about 16 million on Kalimantan Island, and about 5.438 million on New Guinea Island. 】

【This has brought catastrophic pressure to the country's transportation! 】

【Air transportation is expensive, sea transportation is slow, and railways cannot cross the sea. 】

【What's worse is that, because it is located in the Pacific Ring of Fire, volcanoes, earthquakes, and tsunamis are commonplace. 】

【Tens of millions of people live in areas prone to natural disasters. 】

【In 2004 alone, a tsunami caused nearly 240,000 people to go missing or die, which shows the disadvantages of Indonesia's geographical conditions. 】

【Another country with a linkage disadvantage is the bear country. 】

[The Bear Country does not have many volcanoes, nor is it an archipelago country. 】

[But like Indonesia, the Bear Country is also troubled by its large land area. 】

[The Bear Country spans Europe and Asia, is about 9,000 kilometers long, and is about 4,000 kilometers wide from north to south. The total land area exceeds 17.09 million square kilometers. 】

[It is the largest country in the world. 】

[But the population is only about 146 million, and the land is vast and sparsely populated. 】

[However, land transportation is not the most fatal, because the Bear Country's population is concentrated in the flat European part, accounting for 78% of the total population. 】

[Here, the railways and roads are very dense. 】

[In the sparsely populated Asian part, there is also the Siberian Railway, which runs across the east and west and is 9,288 kilometers long. Land transportation is not a big problem. 】

【What really worries the Bear Country is the problem of maritime linkage. 】

【The Bear Country has four main seaports, namely the Black Sea, the Baltic Sea, the Arctic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. 】

【Three of these four seaports are on the European side. 】

【Once a war breaks out, it seems that linkage should be very convenient. 】

【But in fact, it is almost impossible for the navies of these four ports to cooperate in wartime. 】

【On the Baltic Sea side, the Bear Country Navy has to face the Gulf of Finland sandwiched between the two countries as soon as it leaves the port of St. Petersburg. 】

【After passing safely, it still has to cross the Baltic Sea. 】

【Finally, it can sail out from the Kattegat Strait between the other two countries. 】

【There are many countries along the way, and the risk is very high. 】

【The same is true on the Black Sea side. 】

【If the Navy of the Bear Country wants to sail out of the Black Sea, it must enter the Mediterranean Sea through the Turkish Strait. 】

【Then it can either go west and enter the Atlantic Ocean through the Strait of Gibraltar in the United States, or go south through the Suez Canal in Egypt to enter the Indian Ocean. 】

【On the Arctic Ocean side, due to the lack of fixed ports. 】

【The Northern Fleet of the Bear Country is mainly concentrated in Murmansk. 】

【The three navies seem to be not far away, but it is actually quite difficult to communicate. 】

【For this reason, the Soviet Union built a five-sea navigation project, which barely connected the three western outlets through the canal. 】

【But the canal is too shallow after all, and can only navigate small-tonnage warships and submarines. 】

【Large warships still have to go around the Atlantic Ocean. 】

【As for the Pacific Ocean outlet thousands of miles away, it is even more hopeless. 】

【Therefore, once the war begins. 】

【The fleets of the Bear Country will either be locked in the Baltic Sea, the Black Sea, and the Pacific Ocean, and will not move when friendly forces are in trouble. 】

【Or it will be like the Russo-Japanese War in 1905, when the Calabash Brothers saved their grandfathers one by one. 】

【At that time, Turkey did not allow the Bear Country's Black Sea Fleet to pass through its own strait, and Britain did not allow the Baltic Fleet to pass through its strait.Through the Suez Canal. 】

[In desperation. 】

[The Bear Country had no choice but to send the Baltic Fleet, which traveled thousands of miles around the Cape of Good Hope in the Black Continent to the Pacific Ocean. 】

[Waiting for the battle site. 】

[The Bear Country's Pacific Fleet has been destroyed for more than half a year. 】

[Not long after, this fleet was also annihilated by Japan in the battle. 】

·· ········Please give me flowers· ···

·· ·········Please give me flowers· ···

[It can be imagined that as long as the Arctic Ocean cannot be navigated all year round, the combat effectiveness of the Bear Country's navy in any direction is incomplete and can be easily defeated one by one. 】

[This has become the Bear Country's eternal pain. 】

"Alas, miserable."

"Who said it wasn't? One country has a fragmented territory, and the other country dislikes that its territory is too large."

"As a farmer, I don't know how to fight, but I also know how it feels when my family members fight with others and my brothers can't help."

"It's difficult. It's difficult to change."

"....."

Han Dynasty.

When Liu Che saw that Indonesia was composed of nearly 20,000 islands, his head started to hurt instantly.

"How should this be managed?"

Let alone fighting, even managing the country in normal times would be very difficult in such a situation.

With more than 10,000 islands, transportation can only rely on waterways.

This efficiency is so low that you don't have to think about it.

And this is not conducive to centralization. The regions are too scattered and difficult to manage.

Of course, the most serious situation is the invasion of foreign enemies.

Liu Che sighed, "If there is an invasion, how can we rescue them?"

He was confused.

If such geographical conditions can be revitalized, it would be a miracle!

Of course, the territory of the Mao Bear Country also surprised him.

"Dislike the vast territory?"

Is this human language?

Liu Che was speechless, but when he saw the disadvantage of the Mao Bear Country at sea, he suddenly realized, "It took a full half year to join the army to rescue..."

To be honest, there is no need to go at all.

NoIt's easy to imagine that the besieged army was destroyed.

The Three Kingdoms period.

Cao Cao was confused.

"What disadvantages? In my opinion, they are all advantages!"

"All territories that can be cultivated are good territories."

"If you don't want them, give them all to me!"

This video really broke his defense.

In order to seize more cities, he fought with the enemy and got bloody.

But what is the light curtain doing?

It actually dislikes that the territories of some countries are not good enough and have great disadvantages.
