I want to be a warlord

Chapter 594 Foundation Laying

Before searching the Internet, Wang Zhen didn't pay much attention to this matter. Now, he has raised the level of this matter to the highest level!

It is now March, which is the season of locust disasters.

Strictly speaking, it should start in January. Of course, locust plagues do not break out every year in East Africa. They happen about once every three years. The outbreak just ended last year.

According to data, 3600 billion locusts passed through neighboring Kenya last year and almost ate the entire Kenya...

I don’t know how many locust attacks South Sudan has suffered. It’s hard to count the population here, let alone the disaster.

Anyway, Wang Zhen asked a few locals and they said that last year was very miserable. Many pastures were eaten up, cattle and sheep had no food, and many died.

There were countless fights over grazing land, and many people died.

"Why didn't I see the locusts or those other birds?" Wang Zhen called Natalia.

"How could such a trivial matter reach the ears of a big boss like you?" Natalia rolled her eyes at Wang Zhen, "I just learned about the locust problem. The land near our living area has been leveled, and additional Without lime, grass will not grow at all, and there will be no locusts."

"There has been a problem with crickets. Those Dinka people are very experienced. There are big lights on the playground, which attract crickets from a farther distance than the lights in the room. They clean it up every morning before training."

"Okay." Wang Zhen laughed, "Sure enough, a man cannot be without power for a day, hahaha."

"I just like your proud look." Natalia hooked Wang Zhen's chin and kissed him hard.

"Rogue!" Wang Zhen muttered.

After Natalia left, Wang Zhen immediately contacted Leader Li. This matter still requires help from the country!

I contacted a professor from the Agricultural University there for help. The professor had done research in East Africa before.

Wang Zhen did not call directly, but asked Jiajia to come to visit with her things, and only called during the visit.

"The so-called prevention and control is a very big and broad subject. It needs to be analyzed in detail based on the specific situation." On the phone, Wang Zhenzhen asked how to prevent and control locusts in South Africa, which made the old professor dumbfounded.

I hate these amateurs the most.

In other words, Wang Zhen was very polite and courteous.

"In this way, there are no locusts flooding this year, but birds are flooding. I just learned about this, so I want to prevent it in advance." Wang Zhen asked for advice.

"First of all, locusts have not overrun East Africa this year, but the warm winter has laid the groundwork for an overrun. According to monitoring by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, there will be a large-scale locust plague at the earliest next year or the year after next."

"Ah?" Wang Zhen was startled, "What should we do?"

"There is no way." The old professor sighed, "The best way at this time is biological control. Biological pesticides such as Microsporidium and Metarhizium anisopliae, some of which can cause a sharp reduction in locust populations, but the African Union has no money, and the East African Union Even less money.”

"We can only wait until the locust plague actually breaks out, and then spray pesticides."

"No... It stands to reason that locusts are very high in protein, and so many people can eat them all!"

"You are just a layman, and you are trying to control locusts online." The old professor snorted, "There are differences between living things in individual survival and group survival. When locusts are scattered, their bodies are green, but when they form a group, they are green. It is brown in color and secretes a highly toxic hydrocyanic acid to fight off natural enemies, so it cannot be eaten at all.”

"Of course, if it can be captured in large quantities, it can be made into feed after dry distillation, but the cost is relatively high."

Wang Zhen laughed dryly, "So, ducks can't control locusts anymore?"

"It is still possible under normal circumstances and can effectively reduce the locust population." The old professor continued: "This is a way of environmental management. At the same time, it is best to cooperate with environmental transformation, build water conservancy projects, and reduce locust habitats and breeding grounds. "

"Locusts like to lay eggs in dry sandy soil and breed after the first rain. Keeping the soil moist can effectively prevent locusts. This is why locusts rarely appear in forests. Instead, they occur in grasslands, farmland, deserts and other areas. Encountered a locust infestation.”

"What about the birds? If too many are killed, will it lead to an overflow of locusts?" Wang Zhen asked again.

"I know the kind of bird you are talking about, and I can definitely answer you, no." The old professor continued: "The red-billed Quelea, this kind of bird, only eats meat when it is in the chick stage, and it is a good insect. But after half a month, they were able to fly and became vegetarians again. A population of red-billed queleas only eats 200 tons of various bugs for every 2.5 tons of food they eat on average."

"So, it is simply impossible to expect the red-billed Quelea to control locusts."

"Okay, that is to say, all I can do is bring some ducks over so that the locusts won't show up in my small area. But if we really encounter a locust plague, we have to leave it to fate, right?" Wang Zhen said somewhat Said helplessly.

"Yes, controlling the locust plague is a systemic problem. It requires state machinery and personal power, which is insignificant. Considering East Africa as a whole, there is no way. If Kenya controls Uganda and does not control it, Kenya will not be able to escape the locust plague." The old professor is a practical person. "Of course, at least it can reduce the locust disaster in the early stage, but there will be no difference in the later stage."

Wang Zhen really didn't know what to say about this news.

I can only be thankful that I am engaged in mining, and locusts and sparrows will not eat cement no matter how awesome they are!

As for agriculture and livestock…

Wang Zhen could only pray for them.

However, you still have to buy sticky nets, and you have to buy them in large quantities. The problem that troubles the expansion of the red-billed Quelea population is the source of food.

I can’t eat it all, I can’t eat it all!

……

Tejas Defense Nagishot Barracks.

The 180 recruits were divided into four square formations and lined up neatly, with Wang Zhen, Jin Mao and others standing at the front.

After traveling to several cities, Golden Retriever finally completed the recruitment work. The main reason why it was so fast was that the salary was high enough.

All candidates who were selected were given three months' salary directly on site. When the news was released, people who signed up were very enthusiastic.

Golden Retriever went out to recruit 15 people this time. With such good conditions, the selection was also very strict. In the first round, everyone takes off their clothes, and those who are injured are not allowed to leave. After that, age and family are included.

Wang Zhen requires that there must be family members, and he absolutely does not want those who are alone.

The second round is to test academic qualifications, with priority given to those who have graduated from primary school.

The last thing is physical fitness. Wang Zhen is not worried about this aspect at all. These gangsters have nothing but good physical fitness, good food, training for a period of time, and adequate nutrition. All of them can reach elite standards.

Today is the first day, let everyone get to know the chief military officer, President of Nansu Guanghui Defense, Guo Jingyun.

President of Guanghui Security, poet.

Najishot Police Chief, Shrapnel.

Of course, the most important thing is to let everyone remember Wang Zhen’s face, know who is the biggest, and who everyone takes money from!

Military power must be grasped!

The formal training starts tomorrow. This job is very familiar to everyone. Thousands of people have been trained in Iraq. Just follow the process.

At this point, the internal affairs of Guanghui Defense have been completely sorted out. There are dedicated people in each position, and it is no longer the same grass-roots team as before.

The total number of troops also increased sharply from 120 to 300.

Looking around the world, this is also a medium-sized PMC company.

……

"Customs won't let me pass?" Wang Zhen asked.

"Yes, this is contraband and is classified as a weapon of destruction." Leader Li said.

"I can tell, boss, you can't do this either. Firecrackers are obviously cultural and folk products!" Wang Zhen complained.

"Okay, why don't you do this?" Leader Li was speechless.

"Culture, promote culture!"

"I believe you ghost!"

"This is purely a matter of personal ability!" Wang Zhen shook his head, turned around and left.

Looking at Wang Zhen's back, Leader Li's nose was almost crooked with anger. He really should use people to face the front, not the back!

The preliminary work of the hydropower station has been completed, and now is the foundation laying ceremony. Wang Zhen must not be vague about such a grand event!

Krupska, Minister of Presidential Affairs Jizeppe Migiti, National Salvation Front leader Sean Kendall, and South Sudanese President Kiir were all present.

The Chinese side was a little behind. Leader Li brought people from the embassy, ​​the vice president of the investor’s Export-Import Bank, Weng Kelin, the head of the construction company, and so on.

TV stations, newspapers, and online media from South Sudan came to interview at the scene.

In addition to local tribes such as Toheti, Rosa, and Rupu, there are several large families in Kapoeta, the capital of Eastern Equatoria State, including six other families of the Seven Party Alliance, a large tribe among the five major Dinka tribes, and a large Nuer tribe. ...Anyway, Wang Zhen, who is so energetic, asked people to place invitations.

Of course, I don't expect these people to follow others, I simply want to show off my connections and the achievements of Naji Saud.

Neat color-coated steel houses, flat red dirt roads, large warehouses, and office buildings, the northern third of Najishot looks so tidy that it doesn’t look like it’s in South Sudan.

It felt like I was in the center of Juba or Bentiu.

It is completely unimaginable that half a year ago, this was a small border town. At least in the eyes of the South Sudanese people, it seemed a bit modern.

The next day, the foundation laying ceremony began on a tributary of the Kidepo River.

The first is the welcome ceremony held by Wang Zhen.

"Boom", "Boom", "Boom", "Boom"...

If you can't buy cannons now, you can only shoot them!

Use blank ammunition and listen to the sound!

A total of 20 105 recoilless rifles were arranged in a large row, and 60 glorious defense soldiers lined up behind the artillery and fired into the sky.

66-gun salute.

Sixty-six great success!

Of course, Wang Zhen is more to show force.

This kind of firepower seems indifferent to the Chinese, and even makes them laugh a little, but in the eyes of the tribes in Nansu, it is very scary.

If the frontal battlefield is bombarded by this kind of firepower, not to mention how many troops will be lost, but the morale alone will be completely destroyed.

Even the seven-party alliance, what they hold in their hands is considered a regular army, but they are still numb.

Just because there are cannons doesn't mean there are so many cannonballs!

After all, they have no channels to purchase weapons due to the ban on arms sales. Unlike Tejas Defense, which is a PMC and has obtained the name of the United Nations and the African Union for counter-terrorism, they have channels to purchase artillery shells.

Besides, they are all artillery, and there is a big difference between whether they can fire accurately or not.

They didn't know the strength of Glory Defense's artillery, but the artillery in their hands... could only be effective at most. (End of chapter)
