Chapter 321 The Leaky Room Meets the Continuous Night Rain
Chapter 321 The house leaked and it rained all night
After reading this new message, Li Qingye connected to Chen Jianxiong's communication.
About two minutes later, Chen Jianxiong appeared in the video screen.
"Good afternoon, boss!"
"Jianxiong, have you dealt with the matter on Motor Island?"
Chen Jianxiong nodded: "With the support of the West Ceylon Ocean Branch, we have eliminated various forces within Motor Island. Currently, all tribes and armies on the island are under our control."
"Not bad! Thank you for your hard work."
Chen Jianxiong replied humbly: "It was only with the strong support and efforts of all our colleagues that we were able to capture Motor Island."
Li Qingye waved his hand: "I have read what you just reported. What do you in the field department think?"
"Tianzhu's food crisis is inevitable." Chen Jianxiong looked very serious.
Originally, the Homo sapiens company planned to use some means to reduce the rice and wheat production in Tianzhu. However, they did not expect that before the homo sapiens company took action, they themselves caused trouble.
Two days ago, the Delhi Intelligence Station of the Field Service Department received a piece of intelligence. After careful investigation, it was finally confirmed that the intelligence was indeed true.
The thing is that some pesticide manufacturers in Tianzhu have used "domestic" raw materials due to the skyrocketing international raw material prices and the devaluation of Tianzhu's currency.
If they just use inferior raw materials, then forget it. The key is that their raw materials are directly Ganges water, and then they are blended with pigments.
Then there happened to be a rice blast outbreak, and the fungicidal pesticides sprayed had no effect at all.
When rice blast broke out on a large scale in various places, it was discovered that there was a problem with pesticides, but by then it was too late.
According to information stolen by the Field Service Department and analysis through satellite remote sensing, it is estimated that Tianzhu has 44 million hectares of rice planted, more than 43% of which are affected by severe rice blast, and rice production is expected to decrease by 20% this year.
What is 20%?
Maybe many people don't have a specific concept.
Calculated based on last year's data, Tianzhu produced 120 million tons of rice last year, and 20% is 24 million tons.
Fortunately, due to the impact of the Kiev War this year and the North American soybean epidemic the year before last, global food prices are still at high levels. Tianzhu exported a total of 14.7 million tons of rice and 8.92 million tons of wheat this year.
In other words, Tianzhu's grain inventory was basically empty at this time.
Now, the production of rice has been reduced by 24 million tons. This will not only affect exports, but also cause an internal food crisis.
What makes things worse is that Tianzhu has continued to have high temperatures in summer this year, and the wheat-producing areas of the Deccan Plateau have suffered from long-term high temperatures and drought, which has also caused a considerable reduction in production.
"Based on our intelligence and analysis by professionals from the Ministry of Agriculture, it is expected that Tianzhu's summer grain output will be reduced by about 45 million tons this year."
When Li Qingye heard this number, his expression was also very solemn.
Having already lost the Assam region, Tianzhu has lost another 45 million tons of grain production this year, leaving only about 220 million tons of total grain output.
Subtracting Assam's 55 million from Tianzhu's population, there are about 1.32 billion left.
With a population of 1.32 billion and 220 million tons of grain, the average per capita is only 166 kilograms, which is 67 kilograms less than the previous per capita of 233 kilograms.
And Tianzhu is a free market model, but now it is facing an international financial crisis.
Li Qingye saw the crisis at a glance.
In fact, not only Tianzhu, but also the two most populous regions of Xiba and Dongba are also facing severe food crises at this time.
He quickly summoned Liu Zhifan, who was in charge of the Ministry of Industry, on a video call.
"Zhifan, how is our food production this year?"
As soon as Liu Zhifan heard this question, he didn't have time to think too much. He called up the database and replied: "This year... the grain production in each of our districts is not bad. The rice production is 330 million tons, and the strategic reserve has 160 million tons.
Rice.”
Li Qingye is also looking at the data.
Currently, a total of 930,000 square kilometers of cultivated land, or 1.395 billion acres, have been developed in various regions of Southeast Asia under the control of Homo sapiens.
Among them, rice is planted on 372 million acres, usually two seasons a year, with an average yield of about 880 kilograms per mu.
In addition, there are bulk crops such as corn, wheat, soybeans, peanuts, potatoes, sweet potatoes, cassava, rape, sugar cane, oil palm, and bananas.
At the same time, Homo sapiens is also the world's largest organic fertilizer manufacturer, and the world's second largest manufacturer of nitrogen fertilizers, phosphate fertilizers, and potassium fertilizers.
"Currently our total grain output is 970 million tons, and our strategic inventory is 340 million tons."
After hearing this data, Li Qingye felt a little relieved.
After all, even if the Homo sapiens company adds the 28 million people in Africa, the total population is only 648 million.
What's more, Homo Sapien Company has another trump card, which is the supporting lightless agricultural factories in underground base cities in various places. If these production lines are at full capacity, food output can be doubled several times.
The Homo sapiens company can feed all mankind. This is not a joke, but it has real confidence.
"Zhifan, please discuss with the Strategic Reserve Office to launch a batch of lightless agricultural factories to increase our strategic inventory to 500 million tons."
Liu Zhifan heard this and asked: "Boss, is there any problem internationally? Has the recent financial crisis already affected the agricultural field?"
"This is the information we just received. You can take a look at it first."
Li Qingye shared the information from the field department.
Liu Zhifan, who hurriedly browsed through it, looked at it briefly and his face became serious. As one of the executives of Homo Sapiens Company, he naturally knew that the company had plans to attack the agriculture of various countries.
But he didn't expect that the Tianzhu people would blow themselves up.
But he frowned again: "Boss, will Tianzhu go purchase Lucia's food?"
"Don't be kidding, where does Tianzhu have the money? In order to restore their armaments, they exported a large amount of food and spent 35 billion US dollars on armaments procurement." Li Qingye waved his hand.
Liu Zhifan thought about it and reacted.
At this time, Tianzhu had no money at all, and America's aid funds specifically required them to purchase weapons from the military-industrial complex.
The current price of food in Lucia is not cheap. After all, due to the impact of the soybean disease in North America, the Far East had to increase food purchases from other places on a large scale.
In the past, grain procurement in the Far East was mainly from Brazil, Argentina, Honshavati, Lucia, and the Principality of Kiev.
Later, the Homo sapiens company suddenly appeared, and the Far East region no longer continued to purchase grain in Hongsawady (mainly because there was no gold and dollar foreign exchange).
Coupled with the Kiev War, food in the Kiev region has also been affected.
Therefore, the proportion of Lucia's grain imports in the Far East is becoming higher and higher, and many of them are under long-term contracts.
Originally, Tianzhu and Lucia were competitors in terms of food.
Now that Tianzhu wants to import food from Lucia, he will definitely be severely punished.
Of course, Tianzhu can also consider importing from Homo sapiens company, but with the unclear relationship between sapiens and Assam, Tianzhu will most likely not choose Homo sapiens.
On the other hand, Xiba and Dongba are very likely to turn to Homo sapiens for help.
Therefore, Li Qingye began to ask the company's management to prepare themselves so that they would not be in a hurry.
The recent financial crisis is also intensifying amid America's crazy harvest.
Great powers such as Homo Sapiens Corporation and America are all showing their own magical powers to harvest the world.
At this critical moment of crisis.
A sudden message came from the Baltic Sea.
