【Today's Headline Knowledge】Revealed! Those countries with super good geographical advantages! The United States is the first, and the other two countries are unexpected!
Hey! Readers and friends meet again. In the era of the Three Kingdoms, the heroes competed for each other, among which Shu Han was located in the southwest corner, but he was able to stand out in the troubled times and achieve a hegemony.
Liu Bei's Shu Kingdom is just like a flat boat, stirring up immortal waves in the long river of history, and this is inseparable from an ancient and eternal topic - the importance of geographical location.
Jianmen Shu Dao!
If it weren't for the solidity of Yizhou, the danger of Sword Pavilion, and the difficulty of Shu Dao, how could Kong Ming's wisdom be displayed? How can the bravery of the five tiger generals protect the territory and the people?
Ahem, it's far away! Let the editor pull back to the modern era and examine the rise and fall of countries in modern society, it is not difficult to find that the exquisite grasp of "geographical advantage" is still shining in the world chess game.
Sword Gate Pass
Just as the Shu Kingdom during the Three Kingdoms period, with a corner of the land, created its own glorious chapter, there are also a few countries in the world today, although the geographical conditions are different, but also rely on their unique geographical location, writing their own national legends.
Today, I will talk about those countries that geography teachers say are good, and see how they play the advantage of "location" to the fullest. Are you also curious, why some countries are born like living in the "treasure land of feng shui", and the national fortune is prosperous?
The guardian of the sea's bosom – the geopolitical darling of the United States!
You may not know that the location of the "big man" in the United States is quite exquisite, the east is the vast Atlantic Ocean, the west is the vast Pacific Ocean, both sides are the sea, the north has the stability of Canada, and the south has Mexico's neighborhood.
Such a geographical location allows the United States to farm and mine at home with peace of mind, and at the outside world, it is always the one who sits at the global political, economic, and military tables.
With the double doors on both sides of the strait, the United States is like opening two big supermarkets, facing Europe on one side and Asia on the other, and it is difficult to get rich or not.
The sea route can be said to be unimpeded, and the neighbors in the north and south are harmonious, which allows the US commercial fleet to shuttle freely like a fish, and it can easily take a large piece of the cake of international trade.
Don't forget, the backyard of the United States is also a cornucopia, with mountains and rivers everything, what you grow, and mineral resources are rich. Rivers and lakes are strung together, transportation is convenient, logistics run fast, and the wheels of economic development are naturally rolling forward!
This location in the United States is really good! Let it become the world's policeman, and it can intervene at the first time when there is something, and during the Cold War, it relied on this advantage to become the leader of the "global village".
Although other countries have begun to rise to the top, the United States' geographical advantages still make it speak loudly in the international community.
A financial giant in an oasis of peace – Switzerland
After talking about beautiful countries, let's talk about the second place - Switzerland.
Switzerland! It sounds quiet and peaceful, but it's not simple. Sandwiched between several European powers, Switzerland is like a little postman, sending letters to Austria in the east, love letters to Italy in the south, France in the west, and Germany in the north.
This geographical location makes Switzerland the "express center" of Europe and a safe haven with a safety factor of five stars.
The smartest thing about Switzerland is that when people are in chaos in Europe, they always remain neutral, do not take sides, do not cause trouble, and quietly develop their own small lives.
In the two world wars, it was like a quiet beautiful man, who escaped artillery fire and attracted a lot of wealth.
I wonder if the safe deposit box of the Swiss bank is full of secrets of the whole world?
If you want to talk about the beauty of Switzerland, it is recognized by the world, snow-capped mountains, lakes, and small towns, so beautiful that people can't move their feet. This natural scenery has become the golden sign of tourism, coupled with a stable political environment and investor-friendly policies, the world's money bags are running here, and Switzerland has quietly become the "Everest" of the financial world.
The island has big dreams, too—Singapore
Europe and America have all said, so do we have one in Asia? Hey! Not to mention that there really is, this is Singapore, which is known as the pearl of the sea in Asia.
This is a small island not much bigger than our county, but it has built itself into the heart of Asia. Why? Because it guards the "sea highway" of the Strait of Malacca, ships from all over the world have to pass through its doorstep. Do you say that this location is more convenient than living in the subway?
Singaporeans are shrewd enough to know that the sea on their doorstep is a treasure, so they have opened their doors to trade and built world-class ports with frighteningly efficient logistics.
That's not enough, it has built the financial building high, and major banks have rushed to open branches here, and Singapore has become a small financial giant in Asia.
The United States, Switzerland, and Singapore, although these three countries are different in size and have different resources, but they all have their own unique geographical locations and live their own wonderful lives. Geographical advantage is like a good card, the key is how you play it.
