Small quote: In Japan, Yan Xishan, a young member of the Tongmenghui, asked Sun Yat-sen: "Prime Minister, what do you mean by equalizing land rights?" Sun Yat-sen said: "Do you think that equalizing land rights means dividing land equally among farmers? It is not like that! The average land right I mean means that the part of the urban land price increase should be owned by the government!" - "Memoirs of Yan Xishan's Early Years", Taiwan Biographical Literature Publishing House, 1968 edition, page 6.

Since the resurgence of the India-Pakistan Kashmir dispute in early January 14, after the two sides successively engaged in large-scale air battles, ballistic missile attacks, and al-Qaeda intervention, India, a South Asian powerhouse, is like a high-risk patient with an emergency, and has fallen into great trouble and danger.In addition, Indian Defense Minister Anthony had a sudden brain congestion, and the domestic military system lost its leader. The surviving officers of various Indian troops also lost their systematic contact and unified command from top to bottom, making it hoped that the situation can be turned back Prime Minister Singh is alone, unable to support himself alone.

In addition, the state governments that have fallen into turmoil and riots are all facing problems such as the disintegration of military institutions and the depletion of reserve forces.However, the tens of millions of rioters carried a large number of Indian-made light and heavy weapons, attacking cities and villages, and looking down on everyone.However, mobs are mobs after all, rioters from different states are not only fighting with each other, but even armed groups in the same state are also constantly fighting and internal friction.This allowed Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to finally take a breather when encountering a major national crisis, control the small number of troops around New Delhi, and temporarily maintain the existence of the central government, so that he will not be in danger of being overthrown in a short time.

Regarding the future direction of India, many staff officers from Yanhuang, Russia, the Stars and Stripes, and the European Union in the world have conducted extensive deduction and analysis, and all believe that if there is no external force to intervene and exert influence, all parts of India will temporarily fall into a state of anarchy without government orders in a short period of time.

As for whether to send troops to assist India and quell riots, there are serious differences among Western developed countries and other developing countries.At this time, if India does not have a sufficient number of ground troops, it is impossible to quell the riots in the short term.But India, with a population of more than 10 billion, has a vast territory of 3 square kilometers, and there is no ground force of more than 100 million.The huge cost of recruiting and maintaining a ground force of 100 million is a headache for both Western Europe and the Stars and Stripes.

In the developed countries, due to last year's Leonid meteor storm, the Japanese pirates were severely hit. The export-oriented economy had to suspend exports because of the severe damage to the factories. The domestic economy has been in a slump since then. How to deal with the houses and factories in the country has made the Japanese pirate government unable to take care of it, and it is also unable to act as a money bag similar to the Stars and Stripes when it launched the Gulf War.The countries of Western Europe and the Republic of the Stars and Stripes are also quietly recovering their vitality. Whether it is the financial budget or the support of the public, they are not in favor of investing their already tense public resources in the direction of huge foreign aid.

As for the developing countries, Southeast Asian countries are unable to restore their national strength in a short period of time due to the huge humanitarian disasters caused by the tsunami and the serious shortage of domestic food and medicine. They themselves feel that the money is not enough to spend, let alone help India?

Moreover, in addition to aiding India, another serious problem that has not been thought of by countries in the world has quietly surfaced:

The main production bases in the world are basically concentrated in Japanese pirates, Yanhuang, India, Southeast Asia, and Brazil in South America.The Japanese pirates reduced production on a large scale, and Southeast Asia's exports shrank sharply due to disasters; Brazil also suffered serious losses due to the tsunami because a large area of ​​its territory is close to the sea.The entire Yanhuang did not have a major incident, but because of the strong "domestic demand" and the Yanhuang government decided to substantially cancel the export tax rebate policy, and even imposed high export taxes on certain commodities starting from January 14, 1, and finally coupled with the recent Indian crisis. National turmoil, the final result of these factors is that the supply of goods around the world has begun to have problems, and the global logistics supply chain that has been maintained smoothly for more than 1 years is on the verge of collapse.

Republic of the Stars and Stripes, Walmart.

As a typical representative of Stars and Stripes citizens' centralized purchase of daily necessities supermarkets, Wal-Mart Supermarket, which is positioned as a shopping and entertainment complex, is always full of exquisite displays filled with tens of thousands of high-quality commodities from all over the world.From toothpaste and soap used in daily life to luxurious RVs, happy Star-Spangled Banner citizens can always choose their favorite styles from dozens or nearly a hundred brands. It is really rich and convenient!But all of this began to change slightly as the end of January 14 approached.

"Why is there no more Head & Shoulders shampoo?" An older Caucasian woman who was bloated from eating high-calorie foods asked the manager on duty at the service counter.

"I'm very sorry, Ms. Kathleen, the Head & Shoulders series products are sold out, and the regional dispatch center is temporarily out of stock!" The reception manager stretched out his hands in a gesture of "holding up" and explained in a friendly manner.

"Why?"

"Because of the turmoil in India, all production plants were shut down, so the supply agreement with us had to be temporarily suspended. Because of the 300% high export tariff imposed by Yanhuang, the export unit price was too high, which greatly exceeded our upper limit cost. .”

"But I saw that not only shampoo, but also toothpaste, soap, shower gel, etc. are out of stock in large quantities." The customer pointed to the half-empty shelves and asked in a dissatisfied tone.

"The origins of daily chemicals and clothing are mainly Yanhuang, India and Southeast Asia, and they account for more than 70% of our total purchases. But don't worry, we are trying to find a way to deploy goods from other states or countries, and soon There will be new arrivals, please wait patiently for a few more days." The experienced staff in reception calmed the dissatisfied customers with kind and friendly words.After negotiating for a few minutes, Kathleen realized that no matter how much he communicated, out of stock was out of stock, so he drove away muttering dissatisfaction.

The Republic of the Stars and Stripes, Bentonville, Walmart Headquarters.

"What's going wrong?" Wal-Mart President Lee Scott asked Finigra, president of Asia.

"Boss, our supply chain in Asia has encountered a major problem." Finigra, who flew from Singapore to Bentonville, explained a little nervously: "India's production capacity has dropped to 5% of its original capacity due to civil strife. , Manila and other countries in Southeast Asia, due to the damage to factories in the tsunami, they are temporarily unable to supply goods. As for Yanhuang, because they have recently begun to sharply increase export tariffs, and the sudden appearance of the "I buy" platform has taken away a large number of supply sources, many factories face For high profits, they have stopped their orders and contracts with us."

"Did the business department not renew the contract in time?" Wal-Mart President Lee Scott was not confused by Finigra's explanation, but asked the core question.

"Boss, you know, in order to get a reasonable price, we always prolong the signing time. In the end, most of the Yanhuang factories who have no orders to take will compromise. But the "I buy" that appeared in the second half of last year completely disrupted our signing Rhythm."

"Have you found out the investors of 'I bought'?"

"More than 90% are from the Yanhuang government. Although they threw out Jinfan Company, we investigated and found that this is a puppet company with a clean record. Most of the top executives have clean backgrounds like a piece of white paper."

"Collect the latest situation of other companies. If necessary, we need to appeal to the federal government and let them put pressure on Yanhuang."

"yes_sir!"

But Monsanto's core product is roundup, a glyphosate herbicide known worldwide.Glyphosate herbicide can be described as an essential agent for planting genetically modified crops, and its status is similar to the role of petroleum in industry.To put it simply, genetically modified crops use genetic technology to transplant the "glyphosate-tolerant" gene segment into the crop seeds, and then spray a large amount of glyphosate herbicide during actual planting, so that all weeds are completely killed, and only " Glyphosate-tolerant" GM crops survive.

In addition, the strength of Monsanto is that it has mastered the technology to remove the effect of genetic modification and breed the next generation.That is to say, if you bought Monsanto’s seeds this year, you will have to buy them again next year, because the grain planted this year cannot be used as seeds, and these grains have been emasculated by genetic technology.So there is a saying on the Internet: Who controls oil, who controls industry; who controls food, who controls mankind!When genetically modified crops are planted all over the world, Monsanto, which has the source of the seeds, will have ten times the influence of OPEC today.

Now, though, Monsanto has a little trouble.

"Bob, why did the sales of glyphosate and seeds drop sharply this month?" Hugh Grant, the president of Monsanto, asked with a frown, looking at the obvious downward trend curve on the chart.

"Sir, we've encountered some troubles in sales." Bob Johnstone, general manager of marketing, replied.

"trouble?"

"Yes, trouble!" Bob Johnstone nodded and explained: "First of all, last year's meteor storm caused heavy damage to countries all over the world. A large number of coastal countries' ports and other facilities were damaged, and domestic companies went bankrupt. Farmers’ orders have dropped sharply. As you know, there is a time requirement for planting and harvesting crops. Although orders have dropped sharply, the production of major domestic farms has not dropped too much. Therefore, farmers’ agricultural products cannot be sold, and funds cannot be recovered , affecting their cultivation and procurement plans for the next year."

"But I remember that we have opened up the domestic market of Yanhuang? In 12, their domestic planting area of ​​genetically modified crops has reached 1.7 million hectares (real data broadcast on the news network). In addition, their Ministry of Agriculture has approved genetically modified cotton, soybeans, and corn. and four types of rapeseed."

"This is exactly the second question I want to talk about." Bob Johnstone heard the dissatisfaction of President Hugh Grant. For his own job and future, he had to continue to explain: "At the end of last year, I don't know why , A huge amount of food supply suddenly appeared in Yanhuang, and a large number of crops labeled as non-GMO soybeans, corn, cotton, etc. were sold at about half of the international average price. Their appearance greatly reduced our Yanhuang market. "

"Such a low price? Have you checked the source?"

"Not yet, but I can be sure that it is the source of goods provided by the Yanhuang government."

"Is it suppressing our living space? What about the farmers in their country?"

"It's still the old way to buy at a protective price. In addition, I contacted several officials at the top of Yanhuang, and they hinted that the reserves of these crops can be exported to the world. 100% tariffs to curb exports."

"Demonstrate against us again?" Monsanto President Hugh Grant, who has always been used to being strong, asked with a murderous look.

"Sir? Please keep calm. Yanhuang is a country, not an overseas company that is easy to defeat. We have a head-on conflict with them. In the end, we must lose more. At least Yanhuang's market of 13 billion people is gone..."

"I see, you contact our 'spokesperson', it's time for them to come forward."

"yes_sir!"
