Chapter 154 The Hidden Crisis

When Leila appeared at the door of Han Feng's room, the latter almost didn't recognize her.

"How is it, does it look like a local?" Leila asked with a smile as she walked around in front of Han Feng.

Although Algeria practices polygamy, it is also a very secular country, and there are no restrictions on what women can wear in public. Therefore, Leila just put on a makeup that is close to that of the locals, and even without changing clothes, it is almost seamless. Blend in with the crowd.

Of course, neither Leila nor Han Feng can speak Arabic. Fortunately, English and French are widely used in Algeria, so there is no need to worry about language problems.

Twenty minutes later, Han Feng and Leila, who also made their skin a little bronze, appeared together on a commercial street not far from the hotel. Before they came out, they consulted the front desk. Specialty restaurant.

The two casually found an open-air location outside the restaurant door, from which they could easily see the quite lively street next to them.

Leila glanced at Han Feng, confirmed that he did not intend to take the initiative to order, and picked up the menu.

"Two calamari rolls, one chorba soup and one medgoug stew..." Although Leila doesn't look like the kind of muscular girl, she is also a ruthless person who can shoot with PKM fully automatic. After a few Algerian specialties, he hesitated for a while, but he still opened the main food part.

"hiss……"

"What's wrong?" Han Feng, who was admiring the beauties on the street, turned his head and looked at the shocked Leila.

"Why is this couscous noodles with dates so...expensive?" Leila turned around the menu, pointed to a picture that looked more like rice, and asked the waiter next to her.

When Han Feng heard this question, he leaned over and looked at it curiously. After all, neither Leila nor he was short of money, and the price must be really unusual if they could make the other party sigh expensively.

Then he saw the price tag - 19900 dinars.

About $140.

That is indeed a bit outrageous, no matter in terms of location, decoration or the price of other dishes, this restaurant is not considered very high-end, so the price is really a bit outrageous, even more expensive than the previous main courses.

"Ma'am, this is the normal price. If you go to the nearby market to buy ordinary bread, it costs 1000 dinars per kilogram." The waiter was a young guy about 20 years old, and he looked at Han Feng and Leila with strange eyes. It took a few scans before I finally realized that the two people were speaking in French: "Oh, sorry, you two may not be clear. Recently, the price of wheat here has soared, so the prices of many foods have also been affected."

???

Han Feng looked around for a while. Hearing what the waiter said, the food supply situation in Algeria might not be optimistic, but judging from the looks and mental state of the passers-by on the street, as well as the operating conditions of the surrounding restaurants, it seems that there is no such depression. feeling.

"Is there a problem with the food supply?" Leila also put down the menu and asked, "But everyone's condition seems to be okay."

"Well, this is the capital after all, and the current supply of seafood is fairly stable, but what will happen after the fishing restriction period enters in three months...it's hard to say." The waiter brother obviously has no idea about the future situation. Not very optimistic.

"Thank you for telling us so much. We also want this couscous noodles with dates, and your tip." Han Feng took the menu from Leila, and put a 10-euro bill in it and handed it over. past.

"Thank you, sir." The waiter took the menu, bowed slightly to Han Feng and Leila, and then stepped back and left the terrace.

"Layla..."

The two almost agreed on this matter, and just as Han Feng called out the other's name, Leila on the opposite side had already pulled out her mobile phone: "I'm calling the Lucia embassy now to ask about Algeria's grain imports this year. "

As one of the most important countries on the southern coast of the Mediterranean Sea, Algeria is very important to both Han Feng and Leila. Due to historical and realistic reasons, both the government and the common people in Algeria hate Gaul and David. , is quite a reliable ally for the two.

There are two lines in Algeria's national anthem "The Oath", which are:
O Gaul, your time is over, we end your chapter!
Gaul, the day of reckoning is approaching, get ready for our counterattack!
It is extremely rare that the name of the deadly enemy is cueed directly in the lyrics of the national anthem. After all, even the March of the Volunteers did not name the little days, which shows Algeria's attitude towards the country of Gaul.

What Han Feng and Leila have to do is to ensure that Algeria's position can be maintained.

A few minutes later, Leila hung up the phone, with a serious expression on her face: "The embassy consulted the Algerian Ministry of Trade, and the answer was that it imported 700 million tons of grain in the first half of this year, an increase of nearly five percent compared to last year. One of them, and more than 60% of these grains come from Louis Dreyfus, and the vast majority of these [-]% come directly from the mainland of Gaul."

This is the real problem faced by most developing countries, even if they have achieved independence, even Algeria gained independence through a bloody and protracted war, it is still difficult for them to completely escape the influence of the original suzerain.

The country’s grain shortage this year is conservatively estimated to be around 1200 million tons. As long as Gaul tightens its grain exports, it can easily create a crisis. At that time, the lion will open its mouth and propose a series of additional conditions, which the former cannot refuse at all. .

This is food wars.

The two were relatively silent for a long time, until the waiter just put two calamari bagels on the table to break the atmosphere.

After the waiter left, Han Feng picked up the knife and fork, but did not do it for a long time.

"We have to do something, even if it's just for the money."

Leila nodded: "If the current situation continues, Algeria is likely to succumb to France because of food in the second half of the year and reach some kind of exchange agreement."

"Can you contact the grain merchants in Lucia? I believe that even if the price is slightly higher, Algeria will be very willing to purchase grain from places other than Gaul." Han Feng is really powerless about the grain, and CAF does not It's not a good place to engage in agriculture. In fact, even Huaxia's self-sufficiency rate of agricultural products is not optimistic. We can only hope that Lucia can find a way.

Leila smiled after hearing Han Feng's words: "In fact, the largest agricultural group in the south of Lucia is my family's business."

"..."

Is this the legendary rich woman?

"Well, it seems that this matter will be resolved soon." Han Feng shrugged, and stuffed a piece of calamari wrapped in minced meat into his mouth.

"It's not as easy as you think." Leila leaned back on the chair and shook her head: "In fact, our group has never handled import and export business. In the past, the harvested grains were sold directly to the state-owned The Lucia Agricultural Group, and the agricultural department will allocate the share of grain exports. This matter is usually completed a year in advance, so this year’s agricultural product exports were determined last year. It would be fine if it was a small amount, but the 700 The quantity of tons..."

"At least part of it must be made up, so that Algeria has leverage to negotiate with Louis Dreyfus, instead of having to pay a political price." Han Feng said.

"Han, it seems that we have to be separated for a while." After thinking for a few seconds, Leila raised her head and looked at Han Feng: "I will go back to Lucia tomorrow to deal with this matter as soon as possible, and try to get rid of it in the autumn harvest." After that, the export to Algeria will be completed as soon as possible."

"who?"

"Someone robbed!"

Just when the two of them were about to finish their meal, two roars suddenly came from far away on the street. The first one was in Chinese, and the second one was changed to French.

Then there was a commotion from far to near.

Two young men in shabby clothes were running towards Han Feng and Leila at high speed. One of them was holding a milky white lady's handbag. Behind them was a man and a woman chasing aggressively. The arm appears to have been injured.

The two young men who were fleeing were marked red on the radar.

Obviously the system judged that they might pose a threat to Han Feng.

Han Feng and Leila looked at each other.

"Do you want to care?" Leila's hand had already touched her waist, but although the two had a legal license to hold a gun provided by Algeria, it was still a troublesome thing to shoot without being attacked.

"You don't need to pull out your guns. There are two people over there who will help us deal with it." Han Feng pointed to a man and a woman sitting in front of another store across the street. And when Han Feng searched with radar, he found that they were green signs symbolizing friendly forces.

Obviously, they should be sent by Afang to protect Han Feng and Leila.

Then Han Feng got up and tentatively walked towards the middle of the road, as if he wanted to stop the fleeing man.

Sure enough, before he actually took a few steps, the two pretending to be lovers threw down their drinking cups and rushed out, rushing towards the two men who were running across the mainland with lightning speed. fell to the ground.

Then more people rushed out from a few corners or shops a little further away, some of them even holding guns.

Caught off guard, the two robbers who were thrown into a mess hadn't even realized what happened. They couldn't imagine it anyway. It was just an ordinary bag grabbing in the street. How could they be pinned to the ground by so many policemen?

Now that the matter has been dealt with, Han Feng returned to his seat by the table, hiding his achievements and fame.

At the same time, the man who rushed out at the beginning couldn't keep his identity secret, and the whole street became chaotic because of the robbery. Just in case, he went directly to Han Feng and In front of Leila, she said very sincerely:

"Both, I'm very sorry. I'm the special agent of the National Security Agency responsible for protecting you. It's chaotic here now, and it's almost night, so I want to take you back to the hotel to rest."
