The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 996 Heavy Casualties
The Middle East.

It is relatively stable overall.

After the fifth Middle East war, Israel licked its wounds quietly, and with the Americans protecting their old man from time to time, so far, a new round of war has not broken out.

The real war is actually in Yemen.

Although Yemen is divided into South Yemen and North Yemen, the two sides have not been able to reach a consensus on the same issues, but they share the same goal in dealing with the Shiites.

This caused a lot of headaches for the Shiite armed forces. They hid in the mountains, and then could not win when they went down the mountain to fight. Their armed strength decreased instead of increased.

Saudi Arabia spends one billion US dollars every year to help Yemen develop. Yemen has now begun to develop oil and natural gas. With energy income, South Yemen and North Yemen are no longer as tense as before.

To be honest, many things are just caused by poverty.

If you have money, most conflicts can be resolved, or even if they cannot be resolved, they can be alleviated.

Just like Saudi Arabia, there are actually internal contradictions. On the contrary, there are many problems within Saudi Arabia.

It's just that Saudi Arabia relies on its annual oil revenue and the huge oil profits it can earn every year to maintain a relatively high level of social welfare, which greatly eases domestic conflicts.

There are both Sunnis and Shiites in Saudi Arabia, but this is why they do not fight to the death like in other countries.

No one has nothing better to do than to go to war.

Just like loving to fight wars, Saudi Arabia also has places to fight wars.

With the strengthened Arab League and the Arab United Army belonging to it, the entire Arab world seems much more peaceful. Oil-producing countries are happily producing oil and natural gas to make money, while other general Middle Eastern countries are looking for rich relatives to borrow money and beg for alms.

The entire Middle East market is now the world's fourth largest regional economic market after North America, Europe and China.

In the direction of Africa, if it were not for the Sahara Desert, the war in North Africa would probably spread further.

The wars among African countries were ridiculed as being even worse than those in World War I. They basically had no air force, only an army, and the weapons they used were relatively backward.

But in October, more than a thousand French soldiers were killed and more than three thousand were injured in Africa!

If this continues, it is hard to say how long France can hold out.

Europe and the United States are still arguing over African refugees.

From the outbreak of the war to now, more than 10 million people have died in the fighting, and countless others have died in shipwrecks at sea or on the road.

No one knows when the war in Africa will end and when Africa will usher in true peace and development.

Peace is so precious to Africa.

Europe and the United States covet Africa's resources, but they have no intention of developing Africa, otherwise there would not have been real peace in Africa for so long.

Without peace, there can be no development.

In Europe, as the Balkan Peninsula, the "powder keg of Europe", becomes increasingly tense, no one knows when this "powder keg" will explode.

Europe has even begun to become impetuous because of the Balkan Peninsula.

In late November, Liu Tao's itinerary had to be changed.

However, it was the leader who came to inspect Yunnan Province, and Liu Tao had to accompany the leader to inspect the work.

The leader inspected the industry in Yunnan Province. The Southwest Industrial Base plays a pivotal role in China. It is the hinterland of China and the safest area in China. Its importance is self-evident. Although we are in a peaceful period and there is no sign of war, we cannot take anything lightly.

With the southwestern industrial base, even if the entire coast is destroyed, China can continue the war until it finally wins.

China has always considered the whole country as a whole when developing its business, and has never thought about developing the coastal areas.

The coastal areas have the convenience of sea transportation, but the inland areas also have their own advantages.

We inspected the main industries and then the Dandelion Technology Company, which is a very representative company and is highly valued by the leaders. Every year, there are always leaders who visit the Dandelion Technology Company.

Then he went to inspect the agriculture of Yunnan Province, mainly the planting industry. At this time, the specialty fruits of Yunnan Province include mangoes, oranges, pineapples and apples.
We certainly can’t eat all the fresh fruits, so some of them are made into canned fruits.

There are many fruit canning factories in Yunnan Province, and the canned fruits here are exported to Europe and the United States.

Over the past 10 years, these fruit canning factories have been conducting strict random inspections upon acquisition, as they have suffered too much loss in terms of quality inspections.

Farmers are cool, and farmers are dark too!

Poor mountains and bad waters produce unruly people. This is not just a saying. They are both pitiful and hateful.

In order to make the fruits look beautiful and to harvest more fruits, they are sprayed with pesticides crazily, but the pesticide residues are very harmful to the fruits.

There was a previously very famous canned fruit brand. However, due to its lax quality inspection of the purchased fruits, its products were found to be substandard in random inspections when exported to the United States. The brand was fined a huge amount of money and eventually went bankrupt.

Having suffered enough losses, the fruit canning factories conduct strict random inspections when purchasing.

This also forces farmers to not spray pesticides indiscriminately.

Because of the indiscriminate spraying of pesticides, no one wants the fruits even if you harvest a lot.

It's not just fruits, the same is true for dairy cows and beef cattle farming.

A few years ago, there was a dairy farm in Yunnan Province that supplied fresh milk to Southwest Associated University. The dairy farm purchased fresh grass from nearby farmers every day. In order to earn a few cents more per kilogram of grass, the farmers soaked the fresh grass in water in advance, making it heavy and juicy, and looking particularly good.

Then the cows got diarrhea after eating the grass, and a large number of them died. The dairy farm lost so much money that it went bankrupt. And the nearby farmers lost their stable income from selling grass because they wanted to make a small profit.

The cattle raised on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau are very popular, especially the Chaoshan hotpot restaurants, which specifically request cattle from the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau and then cut them into thin slices according to the parts for hotpot.

As a result, one cattle farm suffered from diarrhea after the cattle ate the waterlogged materials, and hundreds of cattle died, causing the owner of the private cattle farm to go bankrupt. Then other cattle farms directly blacklisted those villages and stopped purchasing grass from them.

There shouldn't be too many such things.

Only when you suffer a great loss and feel heartbroken, will you change.

Many farmers are pitiful, but also hateful.

Some farmers load apples onto the highway to sell, blocking the road with bags of apples, trying to force drivers to buy their apples.

Some farmers sell fruits on the roadside, selling 40 kilograms as 80 kilograms, or the fruits look good on the outside, but are actually defective. So many people have been deceived that no one dares to buy fruits on the roadside anymore.

So, some people scold the traffic police and urban management, thinking that they are unkind, but if it weren't for them, many things would probably be beyond imagination.

Not everyone is a good person with high quality.

The evil of human nature is sometimes beyond imagination. There is nothing some people cannot do except what you cannot think of.
