If the situation in Little Overlord is not good, then how about the situation in Egypt?
The answer is that it’s worse than Overlord! Little Overlord has nothing, and the same goes for Egypt. Perhaps the only thing better than Overlord is that they don’t lack water, which is gratifying... But the problem is that there are more people in Egypt!
Egypt's population has exceeded 100 million!
Yes! Egypt has water, but it does not mean that it is not short of water. In fact, except for the Nile River, Egypt is basically covered with yellow sand. This will be fatal!
In the past, Egypt could even be the granary of the entire Mediterranean. As one of the four ancient civilizations, Egypt was the granary of the Mediterranean during the Roman era. There is a saying, "Egypt's food can feed half of Rome." This shows that it played a very important role in the Roman Empire.
It has an important position in the system. Egypt has also relied on its developed agriculture to become increasingly powerful, and it once became a powerful country. However, today Egypt has gradually become farther and farther away from the word "granary", and has even become a "double-high" poverty rate and hunger rate.
” country. Today, Egypt’s food self-sufficiency rate is only half, and it needs to import a large amount of food every year to meet domestic demand. Even so, 30% of the population is still hungry.
Why is the once "Granary of Ancient Rome" so short of food now?
Chinese culture pays attention to "Heaven, Earth, and Man", and the development of all things is inseparable from these three.
First of all, let’s talk about “sky”, which means weather and climate. The climate of Egypt has undergone great changes. In the early days, the climate of Egypt was relatively humid, and the area of the Nile Oasis was wider than it is now. However, with the change of climate, most of Egypt’s climate has now changed.
The area is located in a cold desert climate, with high annual precipitation and low evaporation. The lack of water conservancy is extremely conducive to agricultural production.
Secondly, the area of agricultural land is also shrinking. 96% of the land in Egypt is covered by desert, leaving only 4% that cannot be used. And the only 4% of the land is not all arable land.
In recent years, cities have continued to develop, and land has continued to develop and improve. For example, between 1952 and 1980, approximately 203,000 hectares of agricultural land were converted into urban land, and agricultural land in the Nile Octagon increased slightly. Today’s land in Egypt
Development has almost reached its limit.
The first reason was not population explosion and improper policies. The population of ancient Egypt was not small, and the agricultural conditions at that time could not fully support it. However, from the end of the 19th century, Egypt's population gradually increased, and by the middle and early 20th century, the population surged.
Data show that in the 1990s, Egypt's population was about 35 million, and by around 2010, Egypt's population reached 83 million. In 30 years, the population has barely doubled. And by 2022, Egypt's population will have
More than 100 million.
As an ancient Egyptian, Apocalypse knew the importance of food all too well. When Apocalypse oppressed the entire ancient Egyptians like this, the reason why these people rebelled was not because there was not enough food! We had no food to eat and would die from hunger, so naturally some people would rebel.
Because it must stop!
You also gave me such a small gift! Let my God-given marriage be renewed. As long as Nick Fury is married, not only can I not retreat according to the final plan, but I can also get a smaller one.
harm!
You have to think that a few billion dollars is too much... He needs to analyze the specific circumstances. For a country, a few billion dollars does not sound like a small amount, but Egypt's GDP in 2015 was only 329.4 billion US dollars.
That's all, he said those billions of dollars are important?
If the grain is pinched by others, it is naturally not you who is the fish and meat.
At the same time, we need to use the Overlord to get a small amount of food from European countries!
So there is absolutely no food in these countries! There is enough for Egypt!
Because the current situation in Egypt is even more minor than what was just mentioned. What will be mentioned next are all abnormalities in international trade. The situation that Egypt is facing... is it certain that international trade is abnormal?
The domestic food self-sufficiency rate has taken a step back to increase. As the population of Egypt becomes smaller and smaller, the food crisis gradually emerges. More importantly, Egypt has many employment opportunities and the cultivated area is extremely unlimited. With the explosive growth of the population, the food crisis has gradually emerged.
Shortage and increased unemployment have become the Sword of Damocles under Egypt's head. In order to deal with Egypt's food crisis, the first thing that comes to mind is to buy small quantities of food. If there are more job opportunities, the first thing that comes to mind is to withdraw Western capital frantically. Every year, it is as low as
The 15 million tons of food demand accounts for a very small part of Egypt's expenditures. Almost all of the money from selling oil and the Suez Canal crossing fees is invested in the purchase of food. There is no money left to build infrastructure, and the development of industry has become a utopia.
.
Food reserves are slowly bottoming out, and even the price of cookies has increased.
It still works!
The increase is really OK, because the subsidies haven’t been moved yet.
As soon as the Egyptian market was liberalized, all Western capital and products poured into Egypt. Egypt, which was originally lacking in industry, was basically paralyzed by the continuous attacks from Western capital, and its industrial output value barely accounted for one-seventh of the total output value.
Before being invaded by Western products, Egypt's food self-sufficiency took a step back and fell to less than 70%. However, the food self-sufficiency rate of European and American countries that deceived Egypt into giving up food self-sufficiency and instead buying food has never fallen below 100%.
.
Secondly, there is no policy in Egypt, which is subsidy for small cakes!
Who would have thought that Nick Fury is here!
In the year when Atlantis launched the attack, not a single ship passed through the entire Suez Canal for a day... This means that the Egyptian government has lost billions of dollars in funds that can provide stable income every year for several years and that the government has complete control over!
Small countries like the United States have been affected in this way, but what about big countries like Egypt?
Is it okay to produce less food?
At the same time, market reasons also need to be mentioned.
That is not the situation Apocalypse will face when he takes over that country!
What is even more regrettable is that the country has made so little effort to ensure that its citizens have enough to eat, but few people know how to cherish it. Because Egyptian pancakes are so cheap, no one can eat them and just throw them away.
It is even used to feed livestock. The price is too high, which actually causes waste. When Egypt’s later Supply Minister Hanafi was in office, this problem was not recognized yet. I have warned on several occasions that the current financial subsidies for Egyptian pancakes
The system has caused huge waste and must be reformed.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Therefore, the Egypt that Apocalypse took over cannot be said to be completely destitute!
That's why Apocalypse launches a war because it must be fought.
I can negotiate peace!
This great attempt by Atlantis only caused the United States to fall from its hegemonic position in one fell swoop, and it also caused a small change in the entire world.
Domestic people don't value food anymore, because food is sold at a lower price! So domestic farmers can only grow low-value crops, such as cotton, sugar cane, etc. Those crops are more profitable than food, but they can be eaten as food.
So there must be a truce!
I really thought that Egypt would be so poor...
As a result, the policy that was originally intended to benefit the people at the bottom became the lightest burden on that country!
Much worse than Overlord!
The time Tianqi launched the war, he took out all his family wealth.
And those billions of dollars are pure profits, except for most of the maintenance fees, all of which belong to the government!
Seventh is the specialty. Egyptian pancakes are available if you want to buy them. The two-cent special pancakes cannot be bought at special places without a meal ticket. Here, the Egyptian pancakes are also divided into different categories.
White cakes with good taste and special texture cost 2 cents each; white cakes made with spoiled flour are several times, or even more than ten times cheaper. To put it more simply, Egyptian cakes are specially provided by the Egyptian government to the citizens.
The purpose of food is not to fill the stomachs of ordinary people. For more than 30 years, the price of Egyptian biscuits has been 2 cents each.
Few eighth world countries are severely short of food. There have not been several rounds of famine in the country, and food prices are extremely low.
So Apocalypse must cease fighting.
Food prices in grain-producing countries have not yet fallen below historical highs, and that is thanks to the activities of the Titans. Before the Titans caused a few troubles, the climate around the world became very bad, and there were not many extreme weather events. This
It is said that the weather is good, and all kinds of output have exceeded historical lows, but they are not sold or sold, but the price of grain has fallen below historical highs.
No matter how powerful his Apocalypse is, he still has to be overthrown!
The stagnation of international shipping means that we have to spend less money to buy food... You must know that the freight costs of land transportation and sea transportation are very different!
International recognition, and food!
Of course it seems like a lot, but there are few places to spend money. In addition to food, Egypt also exports many industrial products. This makes Egypt's foreign exchange reserves stretched thin, so it has to borrow money to buy food.
Changes in Egypt's agricultural policy have also hindered the development of agriculture to a certain extent. Egypt's fragmented agricultural economy has no way to concentrate production, and the policy focuses on industry and agriculture. As a result, agricultural development funds have been insufficient for a long time, and even gradually declined. Therefore, Egypt's agricultural foundation
Facilities have always been relatively backward. If the land input is sufficient, the output will naturally be sufficient. Faced with the growing population, Egypt only exports a small amount of food every year, and over-reliance on exports has made Egypt's agriculture increasingly
The loss of flexibility and initiative further restricts agricultural development.
I now need to get benefits from outside the country.
The country is rich.
There is food.
But if there is food... Why should we be afraid of his Apocalypse anyway?
That is a huge burden. For a long time, although Egypt does not have a relatively fragmented industrial system compared to other African countries, Egypt's manufacturing industry is mainly heavy industry, and its international competitiveness is weak. Egypt's main foreign exchange
The sources come from oil and gas exports, tourism, overseas remittances and tolls from the Suez Canal. Among them, the smallest amount of remittance income comes from the tolls from the Suez Canal... basically only a few billion dollars every year.
Tian Qi should have been depressed enough. After all, it would be a pity to miss such a bad opportunity. After all, the situation that the Overlord became like that time was caused by a few factors. It is really difficult to get such a God-given good relationship again.
Unfortunately, it has been changed!
Worse!
Why did this stop?
The price increase in 30 years is due to whether there is inflation in Egypt, but because the Egyptian government is spending money to subsidize. From production to sales, only without government subsidies can we ensure that businesses lose money and keep people full. According to
Egyptian President Sisi revealed that the actual cost of each cookie is 0.60-0.65 Egyptian pounds (approximately 0.25-0.27 yuan). This does not mean that for every Egyptian cookie sold, the government will subsidize more than 0.2 yuan.
.Because Egypt’s population base is too small and there are few poor people, the sales volume of Egyptian pancakes is low. Taken together, the Egyptian government’s annual subsidies for pancakes do not account for about 15% of the national income, and even reach 25% in some years.
.
There is a way. With the stagnation of sea transportation, grains from few grain-producing countries can be sold... The current international grain prices are simply as high as the sky.
In Egypt, biscuits have always played a very important role for that country. Egyptian biscuits have two basic characteristics: first, they are cheap. Calculated in RMB, you can buy one for 2 cents, and a cigarette only costs 2 cents.
You cannot buy 20 Egyptian pancakes. These pancakes are still very small and cannot be said to be cheap or affordable. For Egypt, which basically relies on exports of food, the price is really cheap.
Due to the lobbying of the United States, Britain and other countries, Egypt, which had just used the Soviet Union to build the Aswan Dam, took the initiative to break up with the Soviet Union, unilaterally terminated the "Soviet-Egyptian Treaty of Friendship and Cooperation", and completely turned to the Western world.
.Egypt, which has turned to Britain and the United States, has not found its own development route. Egypt, which owns oil and the Suez Canal, has little interest in earning less foreign currency. It relies on tolls from the Suez Canal to achieve national development.
With the poor operation of the country and the lack of support from the United States, Britain and other countries, industrial development was within the consideration of the Egyptian government. At the same time, in response to Yao Jing's call, Egypt gave up the principle of food self-sufficiency that it had always adhered to. In terms of the United States' commitment, Egypt
Everyone purchased grain from the United States at high prices and opened up the Egyptian market.
I need to use the compensation from the Overlord to get back the blood of Lihui... We no longer have Lihui.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The country is still immersed in the joy of the end of the war, so some people feel that it is okay for a while, but in fact, the fact that the country is not poor is a boiling point
.
According to the most unreasonable idea, I naturally wanted to kill the big overlord in one go. But before I looked at my family’s wealth, I knew that it was possible, because no matter whether I won or lost, I was bankrupt. Even the most basic food was not available in the country.
It is enough.
The Egyptian government didn't know what to do, which led to the turmoil in the entire Egypt. This is also the reason why Apocalypse was able to seize power so slowly, because even if there was no Apocalypse, the government insisted on going up, and sooner or later it would be overthrown...
He said it was important!
Very few families have enough to eat, and no one relies on that!
But there is a way to do it, and the transportation capacity is only so much... The grain is shipped, and even if it is shipped, the price will be ridiculously low... After all, the price of a ship of grain is enough to pay for gas. It is more expensive,
Grain merchants will suffer losses!
Egypt has just fallen into a strange cycle. It cannot be self-sufficient in food → buy food → exhaust its foreign exchange income → cannot be self-sufficient in food. But now with the decline in food prices and the continuous growth of Egypt’s population, Egypt’s foreign exchange income
The income will definitely meet Egypt’s food needs!
The fact is that it is only abnormal, and it has been abnormal for several years!
Food is very precious to countries in Europe. Generally in Central and Eastern Europe and the Americas, food is so scarce that it is dumped overseas.
Because it involves too few people, people with no money will of course care about those few cents. But there are too few poor people in Egypt!
The former is less important than the latter!
That is also one of the reasons for the population explosion in Egypt... Anyway, if you can eat a lot of money, who will control having children? Is the cost of raising a child low? He tried it in developed countries, and the cost of raising a child is too low.
It's so low that people are happy to have children.
