Chapter One Thousand One Hundred and Twenty-Nine The Country Covered with Snow
By the way, I don’t know if you have ever had such a question.
When we talk about France, Britain, France, Germany, and Italy, we think of the European powers, London, Paris, World War I and World War II, etc.; when we talk about Russia, we think of fighting nations, Siberia, vodka, matryoshka dolls, and so on;
When we talk about Brazil, we think of football, when we talk about Australia, we think of kangaroos, when we talk about India, we think of all kinds of mess.
When it comes to the United States, as the only superpower in the world, it has too many iconic impressions.
But speaking of Canada,
Did you think of anything for a moment?
Is the environment good and suitable for immigrants?
Okay, barely one, but other than that,
(????) Have you suddenly found that you can’t think of anything?
(Playing a Canadian worm does not count...)
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that it has not been mentioned in history textbooks, and it may have been mentioned in geography books. Even current affairs news about it is rarely seen on the Internet.
Although if you do a hard search, you will definitely be able to find a lot of political and economic news.
But it is obviously a big country that ranks second in the world in terms of territory and is larger than China. If you don’t pay careful attention,
Its presence is really extremely thin.
It's so thin that if you open the world map and look at North America, you'll find that there is such a large area of country, but you can't tell anything about it.
If you don’t believe it, let’s do a test now without checking the information.
Tell me what is the capital of Canada?
...
Look, you can’t answer it, right?
So it feels a little strange?
And this is also Fangran’s true inner feeling. After a night of activity among the participants, he dug out the origin of the target from Michael’s mouth.
When he actually set out for the trip, he realized that he didn't know anything about this country that clearly occupies half of North America.
But for Fangran, who has the same knowledge and experience as most people, this is normal.
After all, there are more than two hundred countries in the world, and not many of these two hundred countries have a significant international presence. Canada is just one of them.
But I have to say that it clearly has the second largest land area in the world, but why is it so low-key and transparent?
That can be roughly said to be due to the following reasons:
First of all, there should be fewer people,
Canada has a population of only 38 million, which is about 6 million more than the most populous mountain city in China. You can think about what this number will look like when combined with its area, which is the second largest in the world (sweat)...
Secondly, maybe the neighbors around me are too fierce. Whenever there is a big news, it is basically related to the United States, and all the attention is taken away.
For example, for example,
Just like the rich and famous Lao Wang who lives next door...
And there is only such a bordering neighbor around, and the rest is only the ocean. There is no threat of war geographically. He clings to the thighs of his die-hard allies. Politically and militarily, it is enough to be obedient and there is no need to do anything outstanding.
And then the final point is very real,
People have mines at home.
The world's third largest oil reserves, fresh water accounts for one-fifth, forest coverage rate exceeds 50%, coal, natural gas, metal ore reserves are also very rich...
This amount of resources can completely enable a small number of them to live a peaceful, stable and prosperous life.
So now you understand, the economy is rich, the population is small, self-sufficient, no war, clinging to the thigh of the United States, political, military, and international issues are all under the command, and nothing major has happened in history.
A country like this has little sense of existence.
Even many ordinary residents in the United States know nothing about it, even their neighbors, let alone the Chinese people who are far away from it.
There is basically no element that can be featured in the domestic media. If you ask reporters to report it, they will not know what to report.
He looks very much like the kind-faced, fat second-generation rich man in your office. Because his family has a mine and he doesn’t have to struggle, he pats his butt and goes home from get off work every day.
Stay in your own big villa, eat, drink, have fun and be a dead house...
But to be honest, after learning about this online,
Fangran suddenly felt that this kind of place with high social welfare was really livable.
Then he was almost blown back by the cold wind of more than ten degrees below zero just after getting off the plane...
From Houston, which is next to the Gulf of Mexico, and spanning almost the entire width of the United States to Canada, let’s not talk about anything else, the sudden change in temperature covered with snow, and the geographical location are higher than Fang Ran’s hometown.
Fangran, who felt like he was fishing and diving at sea in summer two days ago, was a little overwhelmed and couldn't get used to it.
It's like waking up from a dream that it's actually winter in early January.
The date for the signing meeting was imminent. After digging out the location from Michael's mouth, we set off that night.
Following Celica, Annabelle, and Lynn, three women with very different personalities and styles, they changed their identities and got on the plane with a little disguise.
This is like a scene in a foreign movie, which makes Fangran feel very novel.
But it seems that traveling abroad for a commission is just a common thing, and the three women seem to have become accustomed to it.
By the way, maybe it’s because I’ve been flying in Fiseld’s ultra-high-standard private jet since I came to North America, but I’m not used to flying.
Fangran now feels that the space in the first class cabin is so small that it would be troublesome not to be able to board the plane directly and take off, even...
It always feels weird with so many people on the plane.
Σ(°?°! Wait, am I being corrupted by capitalism without knowing it!
I suddenly realized this on the way, and after constantly emphasizing my identity as the successor of the proletariat and the successor of socialism to no avail,
Fangran's solemn face was deeply aware of Veronica's 'cunning'...
Then more than eight hours of flight passed,
Since the longitude is not much different, it only spans one time zone.
It happened to be around ten o'clock in the morning when Fangran and others arrived.
"This is Calgary...."
After being educated by the cold wind, he also followed Selika, Annabelle and Lynne's example and changed into a thick coat.
Arriving in a country that I had never imagined and a city that I had never known, Fangran’s eyes lit up as he stepped off the plane.
Behind the sunglasses, the dark eyes can see a very beautiful scenery.
The white snow still covers the city, barely concealing the lush greenness of the large coniferous forests, the sparkling blue rivers, and the prosperity of high-rise buildings in an excellent environment.
All this was done under a clear blue sky, with the pure white peaks of the Rocky Mountains in the background stunningly beautiful.
Tracking the location of the person who stole the contract,
——Calgary.
I don’t know anything about this city, but I simply think that the scenery at first glance is quite beautiful. It is the kind of place that is both suitable for tourism and very livable.
But this time I didn't forget what I came for. I breathed out a white breath in the country that was already covered with snow.
