Chapter 236, want to fight the food war

"You may not understand Eisenhower's approach, so let me give you an example.

In 1931, the world economy was in recession. Chilean copper exports decreased significantly, the economy collapsed, and people's lives fell into turmoil. It was in such a turbulent society that a large number of students went on strike to resist the dictatorship of Carlos. Among them was the future President of Chile, Alejandro A.

Liande.

Allende was successfully elected as the President of Chile in 1970. After taking power, Allende carried out large-scale reforms in Chile, but the reforms met with fierce resistance from the large estate owners.

One year after taking office, Allende began to expropriate land on a large scale. In a short period of time, the ownership of a large amount of land changed.

Changes in production relations have not promoted changes in productivity, and land utilization has not been improved. On the contrary, food production has continued to decline.

In 1971, Chile's grain output was 1.36 million tons, but by 1972, it was only 700,000 tons.

Allende had no choice but to buy food from the international community. At first, he could buy food from the Soviet revisionists. Later, the Soviet revisionists themselves had no time to take care of themselves.

In 1972, two consecutive years of abnormal weather conditions caused a severe grain harvest failure in the Soviet Union.

But while the Soviet revisionists were trumpeting the great grain harvest, they secretly purchased 30% of the wheat from the Qiang Kingdom. Although this wave of grain robberies made the Soviet revisionists seem to have an advantage, it also intensified their dependence on the Qiang Kingdom for food.

Long before Allende came to power, Chile was already facing a food crisis, and the country was an important source of food imports.

In accordance with Public Law No. 480, China provided assistance to Chile.

Aid is mainly divided into three aspects: loans, donations, and barter, that is, exchanging things for things.

The result of the aid was that Chile was highly dependent on China for food. In 1973, Chile spent 37% of its foreign exchange reserves just on purchasing food.

Under the aid plan of the country, Chilean people purchased grain from the country and used the Chilean market to complete the sales of grain. However, this low-priced food squeezed local food manufacturers in Chile, which eventually led to the complete destruction of Chilean grain by the country.

control.

Let me explain to you the aid method of Guangdong. For example, in 1972, Chile's food gap was 2 million tons. Guangdong provided food assistance to Chile. The food was not directly free, but Guangdong brought its own grain to Chile.

Sold on the market at normal Chilean prices.

After the sale, 25% of the income will be used to pay for the transportation and marketing of the grain, and the other 75% will be given to the Chilean government. Does that sound okay?" Nan Yi looked at Liuzhi and Grasshopper and asked.

Both nodded.

"If you think there is no problem, then you are wrong. When this plan is implemented, the Gang Council will do two tricks:

First, if Chile's grain gap is 2 million tons, China will not only bring 2 million tons of grain to Chile, but will bring 3 million tons, or even 4 million tons.

Second, the income from these food aids must be supervised by the country. If Chile wants to use this money, it must get the consent of the United States. If the United States says it wants you to use it to buy wine, Chile has to buy wine, and if it wants them to buy cigarettes, it must

There is no freedom at all when buying cigarettes.

It's similar to a white note. Once you see how much money is written on it, you can't spend it.

This is equivalent to China using the Chilean market to digest its own grain, and then using the income from this grain to hold Chile hostage.

Chile's local food producers quickly went bankrupt under the impact of the low-priced grains from China, further deepening Chile's dependence on food from China and struggling to survive. Chile will not be aware of this food aid plan until its agriculture is fully controlled by China.

, it’s just sugar-coated shit.

This is other people's business, and it doesn't have much to do with us. Let me talk about the things that are closely related to us.

In November 1974, the first World Food Conference of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization was held, at which the "International Agreement on World Food Security" was adopted. At the conference, a Western expert made a conclusion: Our country cannot feed 1 billion people.

.

Since we have a gap, there are interests here, and the four major international grain merchants have set their sights on our country.

But eight years have almost passed and they haven't found the so-called opportunity. Do you know why they haven't found it?

Very simple..."

Nan Yi took out a food stamp from his pocket and shook it, "Just because of this, the city residents, old, middle-aged, young and old, are given a fixed amount of food every month, so you can eat as much as you want.

It was during the most difficult period in the early 1960s that we imported a large amount of grain from the outside world, and then exported mainly. In the past, it was a production team model. In addition to private land, everything grown on the land of the production team was prescribed by the above.

This has advantages and disadvantages, which is why we have the current method of dividing farmland into households.

Nowadays, it is up to you to decide what to grow. In addition to staple food crops such as rice, wheat, and sweet potatoes, which are grown by every household, other supplementary grains and cash crops, such as cotton and rapeseed, are popularly grown by everyone.

Especially in the south, the planting time of these two crops can be staggered with the double-cropping rice. Farmers especially like to plant cotton, which can be exchanged for money, and rapeseed, which can be exchanged for oil.

A few years ago, when farmers cooked a dish, they would dip a piece of rag into the oil can and then smear it in the pot. Look at now, tsk tsk, there are wealthy people who dare to use a spoon to scoop oil into the pot.

They all dare to eat fried things.

Generally speaking, rice, wheat, rapeseed, cotton, sweet potatoes, etc. are all grown by people, and vegetables are also planted in vegetable gardens. But soybeans, farmers will not plant them in the fields, they will only plant them on the ridges of the fields, and they will continue to grow.

Even if you don’t know how to cook at all.

Why not cook?

It's very simple, because it's not cost-effective and soybeans are not valuable. Plant some on the ridges of the fields and keep them for your own consumption. You can harvest as much as you can. If you have the strength, you should tend to the paddy fields more.

What can soybeans be used for?

I trade tofu with the tofu seller and make my own tofu during the Chinese New Year. The rest is to make bean paste, bean drum and so on.

By the way, you can also make vegetarian meals.

There are very few people who cook it directly. If you eat too much soybeans, you will make people fart, and they are not delicious without oil and water. It is okay to cook them once in a while for a change of taste. If you eat too much, your face will turn blue.

It's not valuable and tastes bad, so it's not taken seriously. Except for the Northeast, soybean production in other places is not very high.

For the time being, the role of soybeans is very limited. It doesn't matter whether the yield is high or low. If you have tofu, you can eat it. If you don't, it's the same with other things.

But in the long run, it won't work.

As everyone's life gets better and better, the intake of oil and water is also getting higher and higher. Just relying on rapeseed oil and homemade lard can gradually not keep up with our consumption.

Moreover, as life gets better, the supply of non-staple food will become richer. The production process of many non-staple food is inseparable from edible oil. What should I do if there is not enough rapeseed oil?

Then you can only choose one or a few crops that can be used to extract oil for large-scale planting. I won’t be too fussy. Let me tell you straight, among the crops that can be used to extract oil, the oil extraction rate of soybeans is not high, whether it is peanuts, vegetables, etc.

The seeds are taller than it.

But in terms of input-output ratio, using soybeans to extract oil is the most cost-effective.

In the near future, our country's demand for soybeans will reach a very high level. It should be said that not only us, but most countries in the world will have a huge demand for soybean oil.

Because I foresee this, I want you to go to Africa and plant soybeans on a large scale.

It is very dangerous to grow soybeans in Africa. Firstly, Africa is not peaceful and has been at war for many years, so you are easily affected. Secondly, your soybean cultivation will infringe on the interests of the four major grain merchants, who have the Qiang and Faguo countries behind them.

According to the urinary nature of capital in these two countries, it is normal to send people to kill you.

Once they can't kill you privately, they will find a way to label you. I wouldn't be surprised at all if you two become terrorists in the near future."

"Boss, what you said is a very dangerous thing is to ask us to plant soybeans?" Grasshopper said disapprovingly: "I thought you asked me to explode..."

"Grasshopper, don't be ridiculous." Six fingers interrupted what Grasshopper was about to say.

"Yes, we are just planting soybeans. Don't take it for granted. These soybeans are not easy to grow. I will tell you later why it is not easy to grow soybeans. You prepare first, go home and see your family, and then you can find a way to accept it in Israel.

Trained."

"yes."

"clear."

Regarding soybeans, Nanyi actually has a deeper plan, but it doesn't make much sense to tell Liuzhi and Grasshopper now. The two of them are just going to attack the front line. He still wants to leave the soybeans to Zuo Can.
