Agriculture Maniac

Chapter 426: What the Visiting Group Observed Along the Way

International Conference Center.

After Yu Yang agreed to meet with Persia, he convened a think tank and a management team to jointly study the Persian resource map.

In fact, there are some conflicts between our country and Persia.

Because in the Eurasian high-speed railway project, according to the original plan of Sanyuan Agriculture and EU capital, the line goes west from Aynak, passes through Persia and then enters Tuji.

At that time, the European Union, the Ice Bear, Persia, and Turkey all signed.

But after the outbreak of the Iraq War, Persia was controlled by moderates close to North America, who denied the Eurasian High-Speed ​​Rail Agreement and made a harsh demand to Sanyuan Agriculture during the Georgia incident, requiring it to "sever ties with the oil countries."

The oil country is the big brother of Sanyuan Agriculture, and Persia is not even a fan. It is obvious which one is more important.

At this point, the two sides became strangers.

The route planning of the Asia-Europe high-speed railway has also been changed to 'from Aynak all the way west, into Turkmenistan, across the Caspian Sea, through Azerbaijan, Armenia, and then into Turkey'.

This has nearly tripled the cost of building the high-speed railway in the West Asia section.

If Sanyuan Agriculture had never thought of building the Eurasian high-speed railway, it would definitely have joined forces with the four major grain traders to jointly send Persia a food sanctions package.

A few years ago, an unprecedented earthquake struck Persia, killing more than 3 people and leaving tens of thousands homeless. Persian conservatives who hated North America took the opportunity to control the situation and asked for help from the international community.

While other countries were still hesitating whether to donate 1 cent or 2 cents, Sanyuan Agriculture's 5 tons of food and 3 disaster relief tents had already been transported to Ashgabat, the capital of Turkmenistan, which is only 9 kilometers away from Persia, via the Eastern G25 High-Speed ​​Railway Line (Dongshan→Tianshui), the Northern Xinjiang Railway (Lanzhou→Kashgar), and the Aynak Railway (Kashgar→Wakhan Corridor→Aynak→Turkmenistan).

It fully demonstrates what a "responsible world grain trader" is.

Subsequently, the conservatives who dominated Persia refused North American aid in order to make their position clear.

It also created an opportunity for me to sit down and talk with Sanyuan Agriculture.

But even so, Yu Yang still had a very bad impression of Persia.

Because the factions within the other side are not as they seem on the surface. You are close to North America, and I am hostile to North America. We fight to the death and take turns in power.

In reality, this is a political trade-off.

When North America is strong, such as when the Iraq War broke out, moderates close to North America quickly came to power.
When North America does not provide benefits, such as this major earthquake, conservatives who hate North America quickly come to power.

To put it bluntly, he is just like Ice Bear, a fence-sitter.

However, they do not consider themselves as opportunists and claim to have "flexibility in international relations".

Moreover, as a weak country, it is very difficult to achieve autonomy and control.

If you put yourself in Persia's shoes and consider it from their perspective, there is nothing wrong with doing so.

So for the sake of the gold mine, Yu Yang decided to put aside his prejudice.

He then took out his communicator and contacted Hangaixi International Airport, asking them to prepare a high-standard welcome ceremony for the distinguished guests.

"Mr. Yu, the Persian delegation will not come here by plane."

"Ok?"

"Iraq to the west of Persia and Afghanistan to the east have all been taken by North America.

The Caucasus, north of Persia, is occupied by the European Union.

There are still two aircraft carrier strike groups stationed in the Persian Gulf south of Persia.

The federal blockade against them is far more severe than that against us.

If the Persian delegation had taken a plane, it would probably have been shot down as soon as it took off.

So they secretly went to Turkmenistan, used the Aynak Railway to enter the East, and then switched to the high-speed railway. "

"Evil capitalist imperialism, let Baturu, the leader of the 'cavalry', protect our friends and escort them safely to the East."

"Ok."

····
the other side.

Turkmenistan.

It is located in the north of Persia and Afghanistan.

It has an area of ​​49 square kilometers and a population of 600 million.

It can be said that the land is vast and the population is sparse.

Moreover, 92% of the territory is desert and only 8% is habitable.

This has led to Turkmenistan's lagging development and extreme poverty.

In 03, the Aynak heavy-haul railway was extended here.

Turkmenistan, a country with permanent neutrality, welcomed the arrival of Sanyuan Agriculture in a friendly manner.

Therefore, Sanyuan Agriculture, with the help of the EU's international support and the Aynak heavy-haul railway, provided comprehensive assistance to Turkmenistan.

include:

Infrastructure assistance, including Central Asia Sanyuan Construction and Central Asia Sanyuan Building Materials;
Mechanical assistance, set up Zhongya Sanyuan Heavy Industry;

Equipment assistance, setting up three industries in Central Asia;

Smelting assistance, set up Zhongya Tailai Steel;

Electronic assistance, set up Central Asia Sanyuan Electronics;

Grain seed aid, set up Central Asian Trinity Agriculture;

Livestock assistance, scientific and educational assistance, missile assistance, nuclear energy assistance...

As of the beginning of 04, the total investment amounted to US$2700 billion (if the overall product is converted into North American value, the investment amount will soar).

Although the Ice Bear leader complained about the "Three Yuan Kuman" in front of international reporters many times,
But Turkmenistan's economy is indeed visibly booming.

In less than a year, it became the richest country in Central Asia (Central Asia includes Kazakhstan, Gheorghe, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan, forming the five Central Asian countries).

the most important is.

Turkmenistan has the world's fourth largest natural gas reserves and the world's largest crude oil reserves of 208 billion tons (Iraq has 196 billion tons).

At the end of 03, after negotiations between Turkmenistan and the chairman of the Far East Trading Company, Yang Rong, Turkmenistan decided to borrow US$106 billion through the trade hall to invest in the Turkmenistan → Puyang Fan County natural gas pipeline. The project is expected to be completed in late 04, by which time Turkmenistan will become Sanyuan Agriculture's largest natural gas supplier.

At the end of 03, after negotiations between Turkmenistan and the chairman of the Far East Trading Company, Yang Rong, Turkmenistan decided to borrow US$98 billion through the trade hall to invest in the Turkmenistan → Hezhou Dongming oil pipeline. The project is expected to be completed in early 05, by which time Turkmenistan will become Sanyuan Agriculture's second largest crude oil supplier.

As for Sanyuan Agriculture’s former crude oil and natural gas supplier, Ice Bear…
In Yu Sanyuan’s words: Go and have fun.

Therefore, Turkmenistan’s future is destined to become the most dazzling pearl in Central Asia.

So it is in Ashgabat, the capital of Turkmenistan, only 25 kilometers away from Persia in the south.

You can see brand new high-rise buildings.
You can see the neat and wide viaduct.
You can see a fat black man in a police uniform.
You can see countless locals wearing three-series work clothes.
You can see tens of thousands of interns from the Hundred Schools Alliance...

You can even see the "cavalry" that is invincible across West Asia.

Those men, dressed in very distinctive Central Asian costumes, either rode on Ferghana horses or black horses, with unshaven beards and weather-beaten faces, yet they were mighty, domineering, heroic and unrestrained, becoming a beautiful landscape in Ashgabat.

It also brought tea, porcelain, textiles, and various daily necessities to Turkmenistan...

And facing all this.

The Persian delegation that rushed to take the train to Shiliying were all at a loss.

Because a year ago, this place was no different from Persia.

Poverty, hunger, yellow sand, desolation, and unrest.

Nowadays, there are tall buildings, elevated highways, various power facilities, and everything is in good order...

This feeling is like having a neighbor at home. Although the two sides don’t interact much, you know that the other party lives a worse life than you and is extremely poor.

But one day, when he went to visit the other party's home, he was shocked to find that the other party was extremely wealthy.

Until this moment, the Persian senior officials in the visiting group finally understood why the Ice Bear leader's tone was so sour when he complained about the 'Three-Element Kuman'.

However, Persia is affected by North American sanctions. Although the Persian senior officials in the visiting delegation can browse external information, what they see are almost all Western reports.

Western media are constantly engaged in a war of words with Sanyuan Agriculture and will certainly not promote it in a positive way.

Therefore, the Persian senior officials in the visiting delegation were very confused.

for a long time.

With mixed feelings, everyone boarded the air-conditioned express train from Turkmenistan to Aynak.

After the train started, I didn't feel anything at first.

But as we entered the northern part of Afghanistan, the number of towers on both sides increased rapidly, and sentries and weapons different from those of North American soldiers appeared in our field of vision.

If you look closely, the most dazzling thing is the 'three red and one green four-leaf clover'.

The Turkmen military colonel in charge of the escort explained: "This is the Aynak Safe Passage, jointly built by the European Union, three series companies, and Eastern companies. It is used to transport mineral resources. Next year, it will also be used to transport crude oil and natural gas."

"Isn't the Afghan region occupied by North America?"

"Yes, but the villages in the northern part of Afghanistan have formed a 'Chief Council', completed the declaration of independence, and leased their own land to the Aynak mine, so this area is not under the jurisdiction of North America... Don't worry, this place has experienced the baptism of war, and the North American army will not attack us."

Although the Persian senior officials in the visiting group did not understand some of what was said due to the lack of information, everything they saw made them understand that Sanyuan Agriculture, which could force North America to retreat, must have extremely powerful military forces.

·
9 hours later.

The air-conditioned express train travels 1200 kilometers to Aynak.

The Persian delegation looked into the distance, stunned once again.

A bunch of super-large bucket-wheel mining machines like Titans,

A long line of heavy transport vehicles,

The cooling towers of nuclear power plants are covered with white mist.

Countless factories,

Countless smelting plants, countless heavy-load trains,

Countless missile launchers...

Is this an industrial planet? !

In a daze, the Persian delegation changed trains, passed through the Wakhan Corridor and entered the East.

When you wake up, you will change the high-speed train in Tianshui.

The sudden increase in speed and the rapidly passing scenery outside the window once again made everyone lose their minds.

Because everyone's impression of the East is still stuck in the era of long braids, dirtiness and chaos.

Some even believed that the economy of the East was not as good as that of Persia.

However, it only took the group three hours to travel the 1000-kilometer journey from Tianshui to Shiliying.

And in the car, you can watch movies and surf the Internet.

Sitting in the business class, with the help of the integrated device behind the front seat, you can log on to the Sanyuan Communication Network...

'Recently, a retired North American soldier committed suicide by shooting himself because he had nowhere else to go... This is the West, which is full of oppression and persecution and has no democracy or freedom.'

'Warm congratulations to the fifth-generation J14 for its first victory in the battle, successfully forcing back the Carl Vinson aircraft carrier strike group.'

"The case of the collision between the Theta satellite and the Keyhole satellite was heard in Seoul, South Korea yesterday. Samwon Agriculture won the case and the NSA was required to pay 200 million US dollars for the repair of the Theta satellite."

'Last night on New Year's Eve, the total amount of gunpowder consumed in the fireworks released in the factory was 2.7 times that of World War II.'

'New Year, New Atmosphere, Bashu Civilian Aerospace Industrial Base successfully launched Xita-398 and Xita-399.'

The Persian delegation stepped off the high-speed train with mixed feelings of "breaking out of the information cocoon and entering a new world."

Then looking up, you will see the huge Hangai West Transportation Hub.

Bright hall,
Eye-catching electronic screen,

A tide of travelers,

A sci-fi guide robot...

When everyone's eyes passed through the clean, large floor-to-ceiling windows, outside was a dreamy sky and a colorful earth, as well as various large aircraft taking off and landing in an endless stream.

where is this?
Is this heaven?
···
10: pm on New Year's Day.

In order to welcome the Persian visiting delegation, Sanyuan Agriculture held a grand fireworks feast at the International Conference Center.

The automated and intelligently controlled fireworks display, coupled with the pouring of molten metal from a steel furnace and the light patterns formed by tens of thousands of quadcopter drones in the night, shocked people both at home and abroad.

After a night's rest.

The next morning.

Yu Yang, in the capacity of Mr. Yu, together with Sanyuan Agriculture's general manager Li Changheng, think tank leader Li Changnian, and factory security chief Chang Shou, had a formal meeting with the conservative spiritual leader who dominated Persia.

The fact that Chang Shou appeared in security uniform clearly showed that if both sides wanted to cooperate in good faith under the background of North American sanctions, they must first reach an arms agreement.

Otherwise, no further discussion.

Persian conservative spiritual leaders understood this.

After both parties sat down, there was silence for a long time.

"Mr. Yu, Persia is in a very difficult situation. We are willing to introduce your weapons and equipment and mortgage some of your mineral resources, but we hope to obtain highly enriched uranium."

"Don't be so outrageous. You can make some more realistic requests."

Old Smith dared to sell Peace World to Sanyuan Agriculture because Sanyuan Agriculture was backed by the East.

Lao Shi refuses to sell and waits for Sanyuan Agriculture to offer sufficient conditions. Even if Dongfang does not sell, it will leak some technology to Sanyuan Agriculture, resulting in Sanyuan Agriculture owning it.

Besides, Sanyuan Agriculture’s scientific research strength is here, and it is only a matter of time to create a peaceful world.

Therefore, Old Smith's sale to Sanyuan Agriculture and Peace World did not cause much impact.

But Persia is different.

It has no "blood relationship" with the five major powers.

Unlike 'Samgol → England/Israel',
Unlike 'Israel → North American Jews',
It is not like 'Pakistan → North America/France' (during the Cold War, North America provided Pakistan with key nuclear weapons technology, and France secretly provided nuclear material processing plants and technical drawings).

It is even less like 'Sanyuan Agriculture → East' and 'Northern Korea → Russian Bear/Ice Bear'.

Therefore, we must abide by the rules set by the five major countries and not mess around.

Moreover, once Persia has the power to create a peaceful world, no matter how much it produces in a year, it will be jointly suppressed by the five major powers. By then, there will be rebellions everywhere in the country, and it will be a mess.

Therefore, Persia can threaten the five major powers with "I want to create a peaceful world", but it can never really create it.

Yu Yang didn't know whether the other party really didn't understand or was using this as a way to test him. After rejecting Persia's request, he looked at Li Changnian, the head of the think tank.

The latter whispered: "It seems that they should understand that the reason they brought it up is nothing more than hoping to have a bundle like the oil countries."

Yu Yang pondered for a moment and looked at the Persian delegation. "If you reach a strategic alliance with the oil countries, I can act as a middleman and help you share peace and arms."

The conflict between Persia and the oil-producing countries lies in race, belief, and competition among the major powers in West Asia.

This is a difficult problem to solve.

But if we ignore these two points and force a match, it is not impossible.

The key point is: prosperity and development.

In other words, shift the focus of both parties to "living a good life", or watching entertainment programs, or indulging in short videos, so that both parties temporarily ignore the conflict.

For example, today some people in Persia are organizing against the oil country.

At this time, Sanyuan Agriculture is giving out hamburgers and Cokes for free. As a poor person, will you go to the streets to protest, or come and get the hamburgers and Cokes?

After you have eaten the hamburger and Coke, Sanyuan Agriculture will give you '3 hours of free Internet access and a 200-hour game of Legend of Mir'. Will you go parading in the streets or come to the Internet cafe to play Legend of Mir?

For example, today some people in the oil country are organizing to oppose Persia.

At this time, Sanyuan Agriculture launched a mutant lion and held an on-site auction. As a wealthy person, would you go to protest in the streets or participate in the auction?

After you buy a mutant lion, Sanyuan Agriculture will organize a fighting competition between mutant lions and mutant tigers. Will you go to the parade or buy a ticket to watch?
Of course, this is just a metaphor.

When it comes to actual operation, it will definitely involve all aspects.

Anyway, oil-producing countries are not short of money and Persia is not short of resources.

In this way, the attention of both sides is directed to other areas, and it is not a problem for the two sides to continue their official cooperation for ten or eight years.

As for what to do in ten years...

There is a heresy next door - Israel, which can be used to attract the attention of both sides.

As for what to do in twenty years...

Then let’s fight. Sanyuan Agriculture will provide 50% discount on military rations and weapons to both sides. You can fight as long as you want.

Yu Yang omitted the last two sentences and described what was in his mind to the Persian delegation.

"As long as you agree, I can guarantee to provide you with advanced weapons and nuclear deterrence when you are invaded by Western powers."

Sanyuan Agriculture still has a high reputation internationally.

First, they were willing to use their best weapons to equip their allies with the most advanced equipment. For example, in the Caucasus confrontation, the EU's African Corps was almost armed to the teeth, including Ice Bear. Sanyuan Agriculture also got the best three-series electron tubes. Otherwise, in the Bering Sea, Ice Bear's Far East Fleet would not dare to confront the Seventh Fleet.

Second, they dare to take action when something happens, just like the Battle of Iraq. After the frontal war ended, the British and American coalition forces refused to leave the Great Prince Air Force Base in the oil-producing country. Sanyuan Agriculture dispatched a large number of J11B and Y8 pro max strategic bombers overnight to force the British and American coalition forces to withdraw.

Third, it is really good for allies. The food problem of oil-producing countries has been solved, and the 21-nation West African group has also escaped from hunger...
After receiving the assurance, the Persian delegation looked at each other and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

But then he became nervous again.

Because Yu Sanyuan was a notorious bandit.

Now that the two parties have reached a cooperation intention, I am afraid that our side will be squeezed out of the market next.

"Mr. Yu, do you know the supply price of grain?"

"For every 1% of mineral resources you lease to us, we will reduce the supply price by 10% in accordance with international grain prices.

In other words, if you lease us 10% of your mineral resources and allow us to mine them for one year, we will supply you with one year's worth of food free of charge.

If you lease us 10% of the mineral resources and allow us to mine for 10 years, we will supply you with food for free for 10 years."

Upon hearing this, the Persian delegation discussed in low voices for a long time.

"Mr. Yu, may I know the price of the weapons?"

"Just like food, if you lease us 20% of your mineral resources and allow us to mine for 10 years, your food and armament problems for the next 10 years will be borne by us independently... You can have all the food I have, and you can also get the foreign trade version of the armament I have."

It was obvious that all the senior Persian officials in the visiting delegation were moved.

After all, only 20% is taken out, and there is a mining deadline.

In addition, along the way, everyone has seen the strength of Sanyuan Agriculture.

what is this?
These are thighs!

However, some people still expressed their concerns.

"Mr. Yu, we have a population of nearly 6000 million. Can we really supply food?"

"6000 million? Do you think that I, the grain merchant in this world, am a fake?"

"···"

"Don't even mention 6000 million. Even if it's 6 million, I can keep them all fat and white."

"hiss···"
