Chapter 104: Borrowing a Knife to Kill
Luzon.
Bandon Island.
Chen Jianxiong, who recently returned to Luzon secretly, is making a performance report to Li Qingye.
"The Hongsavadi branch has done a good job. We can now let go of some things."
"This time it's the result of the hard work of Domino, Yang Mengjiao and others." Chen Jianxiong replied very respectfully.
Li Qingye looked at the development report of Qingye Group on the big screen again. In terms of industry, some short-term and fast-paced projects have been developed so far, but in terms of agriculture, Qingye Group is almost in a state of soaring.
A large number of farms have been formed in the areas of absolute control in the Shan Plateau, the delta plain at the mouth of the Salween River, and the Taninthayi coastal plain.
It is estimated that in the first quarter of next year, Qingye Group will obtain 3.2 million tons of rice, 1.5 million tons of genetically modified corn kernels, 900,000 tons of genetically modified soybeans, 1.05 million tons of rapeseed, 320,000 tons of sugar, and 350,000 tons of potatoes.
If the middle and lower reaches , the output of various crops will increase several times or more.
You know, even in its previous half-dead state, Hongsawadi's annual rice production could reach 27.5 million tons.
The population of Hongsavadi is only over 50 million, and the per capita grain output is about 500 kilograms, which is actually not a small amount.
Exporting 4 to 5 million tons of grain a year is more than enough.
Now that these lands have been integrated, if they are coupled with fertilizer and pesticide industries, the food production potential can even be increased to 100 million tons per year.
The agricultural potential of Hongsavadi is actually stronger than that of neighboring China and India. Although these two places produce a lot of grain every year, their population is actually also explosively large.
But Hongsavadi is different. The population of this place is not large, the arable land is very vast, and it has a tropical monsoon climate. It has the potential to develop into a world-class granary.
The reason why Li Qingye is concerned about Hongsawadi’s agriculture is mainly because Luzon’s food production environment is defective, whether it is the social environment or the natural environment.
Although the Security Department sent a homemade plane to ADM, ABCD's food war plan is still moving forward.
Although the Homo Sapiens Company is confident that it can block ABCD's attack this time through some other means, the inherent problems of Luzon's agricultural structure still leave some loopholes.
He turned around and ordered, "Fili, notify Garfield and others to secretly build more grain storage warehouses in the controlled area."
"Yes, boss!" Philip took note of it.
Li Qingye planned to take advantage of the concealment of the Hongsawadi branch and the Luzon branch, plus the New Luzon Shipping Company which had already expanded a lot, to export coral cement and iron bamboo from Luzon and Hongsawadi to export rice and glass, so that the two sides could complete the mutual conversion of resources.
Since Malacca is an international public waterway, cargo ships do not need to report specific cargoes to the coastal countries of Malaysia, Java and Singapore.
By then, Luzon and Hongsawadi will operate directly in secret. As long as they are within the control area of the Homo sapiens system, the outside world will have no idea of any trade between the two sides.
Of course, if the five big gangsters use reconnaissance satellites to keep an eye on the ports in Luzon and Honsawadi all day long, they may be able to discover any abnormalities.
The problem is, before a big problem arises, who would be so bored as to mobilize satellites to keep an eye on the ports of two rookie countries?
Moreover, these cargo ships are not transporting sensitive materials such as nuclear fuel and missiles.
As long as we arrange more vests and confusing means, these rice, glass, cement, iron bamboo and the like will not attract much attention at all.
As for whether ABCD will know that Hongsavadi is selling food to Luzon after the failure of the food war, there is no need to worry.
Even if they knew, so what? Would America send troops to attack Hongsavadi just for ABCD?
The most they could do is let the aircraft carrier fleet annoy the ships of Luzon and Hongsawadi in the Strait of Malacca.
Even if America prohibits ships from passing through the Strait of Malacca, the Homo sapiens has actually prepared a backup plan.
That is the Siam branch that Domino is currently in charge of. The Siam branch has developed a number of spider web managers and has also inserted a considerable number of soldiers.
Before the end of next year, Li Qingye plans to launch the Siam attack plan.
As long as Siam is taken, no matter how powerful America is, it will not be able to blockade the entire South China Sea.
If Sing Tao is ungrateful and dares to cooperate with America to blockade the Strait of Malacca, Li Qingye will definitely not show mercy.
At that time, we will directly push Siam, Hongsawadi and Luzon to unite and dig a canal across the Isthmus of Kra to let Singapore know what decency is.
Li Qingye arranged for a shipping company to transport millions of tons of rice back from Hongsawadi and then stored them in warehouses.
As long as the warehouses are not opened to release grain for the time being, and the outside world has no way to conduct a detailed investigation into the situation in the areas controlled by Homo sapiens, it will certainly not be clear about the specific amount of grain reserves.
Part of ABCD's intelligence comes from satellite images of farmland, which are then used for computational analysis to assess Luzon's local grain production.
The other part was to obtain Luzon's official statistics and port import and export data through insiders such as Aquino.
As for the area controlled by Homo sapiens, ABCD has no way of infiltrating into it, so they can only make a rough assessment.
The errors in the evaluation data of ABCD are usually not much different.
After all, we can basically guess how much food Luzon can produce through satellite remote sensing data.
The international grain trade is controlled by them, and COFCO, the only company that can compete with them, cannot export rice to Luzon.
In their view, there is no major problem with the accuracy of their data.
But they overlooked an uncontrolled grain producing area - Hongsavadi.
They didn't even know that the Homo sapiens had already taken control of Hongsavadi.
This gave the Homo sapiens an opportunity to operate behind the scenes. After all, Luzon and Honsawadi are both Homo sapiens territories, which is equivalent to being in their own homeland. External forces will not be able to detect the special relationship between the two sides for a while.
With this batch of grain reserves, plus Luzon’s own grain reserves, Luzon’s total grain reserves will soon exceed 10 million tons.
However, Li Qingye and Zhiren Company did not make it public, but continued to add fuel to the flames, allowing ABCD to continue to cause trouble.
Because Sapiens Company needed to kill with a borrowed knife, it let ABCD destroy the small peasant economy in Luzon, and then in the name of saving the market, Sapiens Company directly annexed the farmland and farms and let everyone work for Sapiens Company.
Finally, they can throw dirty water on ABCD and the Aquino family, the Marcus family, and the Ayala family, taking the opportunity to uproot these three families.
This is a game, no matter what the outcome.
The end result was that the peasants, small landlords, and small farm owners in Luzon were completely defeated and became food for one of the sides.
Li Qingye knew very well that the best way to destroy a region was to destroy their agricultural system. As long as the rural area, the last refuge, collapsed, the resistance of the region would soon collapse.
Without arable land, we would lose our last retreat.
If the city is unable to absorb this labor force at this time, a large number of urban slums will soon emerge.
A large part of Manila's slums are made up of landless farmers.
Li Qingye did not kill them all. After all, the Homo Sapiens Company needed these laborers. This time, in addition to annexing the land, he wanted to turn these farmers into employees of the Homo Sapiens Company.
