Agriculture Maniac

Chapter 452 Procurement and Insurance, West Asian Tactics

"You are a farmer, why do you want to win people's hearts?"

"If we don't win over the people by farming, are we just waiting for the village tyrants to take away the fruits of victory?"

Yu Yang put down the AI ​​cochlear implant and turned around.

When MT Watchman was first established, Lao Ren planned to invest in it in the name of Guangdong Guotou. After he scolded the other party, the two had not met for more than half a year.

When I see him again now, he looks even older.

His hair is completely white, he is thin, and his wrists and neck are covered with age spots...

This reminded Yu Yang of Old Bush, Old Smith, his wife, Old Morgan, the oil tycoon, Donald Rumsfeld and so on.

“It’s really the end of an era.”

The inexplicable words made Lao Ren slightly stunned, and then he laughed dumbly: "Yes, the future belongs to you young people."

"No, it belongs to me. It won't change for at least 100 years."

"Could you not be so blunt?!"

“When there is no tiger in the mountain, the monkey becomes king. I am excited to think about the future.”

Lao Ren was powerless to refute, so he simply talked about business, "According to reliable intelligence, Ice Bear has surrendered to the United States and decided to significantly reduce the number of nuclear weapons, dismantle all nuclear-powered ships under construction, share West Asian intelligence with North America, provide logistical support for North American troops stationed in West Asia, and allow North America to use the military bases set up by Ice Bear in West Asia and Central Asia..."

"They have always wanted to join NATO. Now that North America has been forced to this point, I guess the Ice Bear thinks that by providing timely assistance, they can gain more benefits... To put it bluntly, they still don't learn their lesson."

Yu Yang sighed, took Lao Ren into the backyard pavilion, and lit cigarettes for the two of them, "But it's not a big problem."

"The superiors are worried about the Far East Agricultural Reclamation Project. After all, we have invested too much there."

"When the Ice Bears tore up the Amur agricultural reclamation agreement, I used hot air balloons and the African S1 season to make them realize that I was a hungry wolf. Only if I was fed, I would not eat them. Now, the Far East agricultural reclamation is what feeds me. If they dare to tear up the agreement again, I, a hungry wolf, will piss to claim my territory."

Lao Ren was surprised and asked, "Did you make arrangements in advance?"

"The superiors don't think that the EU coalition forces in the Caucasus and the main force of South Vietnam entering West Asia are all aimed at North America, right?"

"Is it to deal with the ice bear?"

"If the Ice Bear turns hostile, the EU coalition forces in the Caucasus and the main forces of South Vietnam in Afghanistan will advance northwards, seize Volgograd with the help of the barrage anti-missile system, and then cut off the Far East railway, engaging in a protracted war to buy time for the Amur Reclamation Corps to take over the Far East."

Old Ren was stunned.

This is a war involving nuclear powers.

Yu Yang sneered, "Ice Bear is not stupid. They understand this truth, so they took the initiative to participate in the Asia-Europe high-speed rail project... I can only say that Ice Bear's investment in the United States is purely a double bet."

"I am afraid that Ice Bear's actions will lead many countries in the EU to follow suit and also invest in North America."

"It's normal. No matter in which field, you can't satisfy everyone. If you benefit some people, even if you don't harm the interests of others, they will complain about you or even scold you because they didn't get any benefits."

Yu Yang made a cup of tea and continued, "Besides, most of the EU members belong to NATO, and their relationship with North America is much closer than ours. In addition, North America's strength has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts. Maybe North America doesn't have to pay anything, just say something nice, and they will kneel down and call you daddy. In terms of backbone, they are not as strong as Japan."

"That's very clear."

"In fact, if we ignore the differences in systems and class contradictions, there is no difference between politics and the human relationships in the village. The village tyrant is always the village tyrant. As long as he is alive, the weak people in the village will not dare to resist."

"Makes sense."

"But we cannot ignore the system and class. Our system is very different from capitalism, and eliminating class is our ultimate goal. So the West will not tolerate us. We must be prepared to confront the world on our own."

"···"

"Unless you intend to go along with the West."

"Look at what you said, as if we are the villains... Bah, what do you mean by us and you? We are one!"

Lao Ren decisively stated his position, and then looked at the submarine model that the girls were training on, "As long as you ask, your superiors will definitely give you submarine technology."

"Times have changed, ideas have changed, and the form of war has changed. We must learn to use today's technology and re-examine the purpose and function of submarines. Just like the Dongyue, it didn't learn anything, but it still beat the aircraft carrier cluster. I believe that submarines designed with modern thinking will definitely be unparalleled."

"It's just a diving turtle and a few silos, can you come up with something special?"

"You see, this is old-fashioned thinking."

Yu Yang stood up and walked to the pool, picking up a model at random. "Traditional submarines imitate fish moving through the water, pursuing streamlined shapes to reduce friction with the water."

"But the new generation of submarines use the supercavitation effect, which means wrapping a layer of bubbles in the outer shell so that the submarine only contacts the bubbles instead of directly rubbing against the water. In this way, the submarine's underwater movement speed will be greatly improved. Kunpeng is a practical example, and its underwater speed can reach 200 knots... Is it sci-fi?"

“So we must break free from the shackles of traditional thinking, otherwise we will become like the emperor who tills the land with a golden hoe.”

"Of course, I'm not a professional. The experiments here are just to adapt AI so that it can learn to act, hide, and find targets autonomously."

Yu Yang put down the submarine model and sat in the rattan chair in the pavilion. "You probably came here for more than just Bing Xiong's visit to the United States."

"The superiors hope to introduce a small Dongyue ship with a displacement of about 10,000 tons. Otherwise, we can't afford it."

The Dongyue cost 270 billion U.S. dollars, which is 10 times that of a traditional aircraft carrier.

Affected by the missile system and nuclear power, the annual maintenance cost is nearly 30 times that of traditional aircraft carriers.

If converted into currency, about 20 billion red banknotes would be burned every year.

Of course, in a collective, maintenance is a job and a way for collective members to demonstrate their self-worth, and it does not require money.

Yu Yang thought for a moment, "Reducing the displacement requires a new mold and a new production line. Purchasing only one ship would waste a lot of resources. So, let's start with three ships, and the maintenance work must be outsourced to us. Three ships will cost about 50 billion red notes per year, and the maintenance costs will be calculated separately."

"Is there insurance?"

"Yes, the annual premium for 5-ton class insurance is million red notes."

Buying insurance for a warship sounds a bit outrageous.

But in fact, this is a very common business in military insurance. There are also additional ship insurance and old-for-new insurance.

Sanyuan Heavy Industries has manufactured so many weapons and produced a large number of spare parts during the manufacturing process. In order to make more money in the after-sales link, it not only launched battleship insurance, but also related insurance products for fighter jets, tanks, and overseas mines.

For example, the S103 tank given to the military.

Basic insurance of 3 red notes per vehicle per year.

After purchase, if it is damaged during training, Sanyuan Heavy Industries will investigate and collect evidence and determine that this is a normal phenomenon. Sanyuan Heavy Industries will bear 80% of the repair costs and the military will bear the remaining 20%, but the prerequisite is that it must be handed over to Sanyuan Heavy Industries for repair.

If a tank is damaged during combat, and Sanyuan Heavy Industries investigates and collects evidence and concludes that it is a normal phenomenon, Sanyuan Heavy Industries will bear 50% of the cost of replacing the old tank with a new one, and the military will bear the remaining 50%. The military will then receive a new tank, but the prerequisite is that it must be recovered by Sanyuan Heavy Industries.

If you add passenger insurance of 2000 yuan per person per year.

If a crew member dies, he or she will receive a one-time pension of 100 million yuan, and this pension has nothing to do with the military or local authorities. It is commercial insurance.

The crew member died on duty and received a one-time compensation of 50 yuan...
If a crew member is disabled, they will receive a one-time compensation of 1 to 20 yuan depending on the degree of disability, and can enjoy follow-up treatment plans provided free of charge by Sanyuan Pharmacy and the Central Hospital, including prosthetic limbs, bionic joints, organ transplants, retirement recuperation, etc.

It can be said that Sanyuan Heavy Industry's military insurance is extremely cost-effective.

But the threshold is also very high, and only active players in the East are allowed.

After all, there is no war in the East, so the losses are small and the profits are large.

If North America is allowed to purchase it, we will probably have to pay huge losses.

Yu Yang contacted the factory secretarial team and asked them to prepare materials for Lao Ren.

After Lao Ren confirmed his purchasing intention, the topic turned to West Asia.

"I have led troops to fight in wars and fought against North America. Later, I also led the modernization reform of the Guangdong Military. In my opinion, the Marine Corps should be stronger than the North American Army. Even if the Red Devil Paratroopers are powerful, it is impossible for them to use 3000 troops and 5 remnants to chase after the 15 elite Marine Corps."

"A matter of tactics."

Strategy and tactics are two different things.

Strategy is to set the general direction and where to attack.

Tactics are the execution process and execution method.

If the tactics are broken down into smaller details, they cover logistical supplies such as food, ammunition, fuel, medicine, and drinking water.

As an opponent, the Red Devil Parachute Regiment needs to consider more.

This includes what medicines the Marine Corps always has on hand, what type of water purification equipment is used, the composition and production date of ammunition, and even the materials used for socks.

After obtaining this information, on the day North America invaded Syria, Persia mixed the three-series fertilizers, three-series pesticides, and three-series additives provided by Sanyuan Chemical in a certain proportion into herbicides, and then used agricultural aircraft to spray them on the road where the Syrian orthodox army was retreating and in the surrounding wilderness.

This is not a highly toxic product and does not pose much harm to humans.

However, after seeping into the ground along with rainwater, the fresh water will become astringent, irritate the teeth, and get stuck in the throat, and it is difficult for water purification devices to complete the purification. Drinking this kind of fresh water is very easy to get inflamed, develop mouth ulcers, swollen gums, constipation and hemorrhoids.

At the same time, this type of fresh water, after volatilizing under the sun, can induce allergic rhinitis, leading to nasal congestion, runny nose, and sneezing. Except for loratadine, other drugs are difficult to treat.

When water vapor is absorbed onto the surface of clothing, it reacts with fibers, nylon, cotton, etc., leaving a sticky, pungent stain that is difficult to clean and affects the sense of smell and sleep, but is non-toxic. If you wear such clothing, shoes and socks to exercise, your skin will become particularly delicate after continuous friction, and it is prone to allergies, itching, blisters, and corns.

"Among the 15 marines, more than half have hemorrhoids, and at least 14 have corns. On average, there are four corns on each foot, most of which are on the toes and forefoot... In addition, they suffer from constipation and bloating."

Old Ren was stunned.

Yu Yang shook his head and sighed, "If it were you, how would you fight this battle?"

"Is this biological warfare?"

"What the hell is biological warfare? This is spraying pesticides and fertilizers to prepare for farming. Besides, any country or organization can take samples and conduct tests on the spot to find internationally banned ingredients. If the West had discovered something, it would have spread all over the world. But now? Where is the news?"

Yu Yang said indignantly, "We will also ask North America for compensation because the Marine Corps destroyed the farmland we just reclaimed, causing the sprayed pesticides and fertilizers to become ineffective, delaying the spring ploughing."

"···"

"Delaying spring planting is no small matter. It will cause global food prices to rise and millions of innocent people will starve to death."

Old Ren couldn't stand it any longer. "Syria only has so much arable land. That's enough."

"Do you think I'm kidding? This is a joint decision by the European Union, West Asia, Africa, and Southeast Asia. They intend to denounce North America for having no human rights at the joint meeting of the home planet."

"···"

for a long time.

After Yu Yang finished criticizing North America for having no human rights, he was still not satisfied and started criticizing North America for being undemocratic.

Lao Ren couldn't bear to listen any longer. Thinking that his mission was completed, he stood up and said goodbye.

Wait until he leaves.

The girl who was testing the submarine model was amazed and said, "Boss, this accountant in your village is quite impressive. He talked to you about everything from the military to international affairs."

"That's just what he likes."

"But I heard from my grandfather that when two men are chatting, the bigger the topic they are talking about and the less relevant it is to them, the less capable this man is. You should spend less time with him."

Yu Yang thought about it and felt that it made sense. "Your grandfather is right."

At this time.

The factory secretary team called to inform us that the head of the business system was visiting.

Yu Yang looked at the time and agreed immediately.

After half an hour.

The business manager in plain clothes came to the pavilion in the backyard of the MT flagship store.

Although the other person does not appear in the news every now and then, his face always feels familiar.

Seeing the girls' curiosity, Yu Yang introduced them, "This is our village's sixth uncle who is in charge of external business. He has an ordinary face and is not a bad person."

After saying that, he sat in the rattan chair, changed the cup and made some tea.

The business manager said, "Mr. Yu, as of June, our exports to North America this year have reached 6 billion US dollars, imports have reached 4600 billion, and the trade surplus is 4200 billion US dollars."

Yu Yang understood.

Addicted to making money, the business side is worried that the conflict between itself and North America will intensify and affect foreign trade.

"Boss, you should know that as of June, the total revenue of American companies in the East reached 6 billion US dollars, and the profit exceeded 4800 billion. This is just the apparent data... What does this mean? This means that you earned 1000 billion US dollars with the trade surplus, and others took away 400 billion US dollars with the profit. In any case, North America is taking advantage."

Yu Yang took out the SY handheld game console and called up the Asia-Europe economic integration project. "In the world market, no one is irreplaceable. French L'Oreal can replace Procter & Gamble, Louis Dreyfus can replace ADM, European cars can replace General Motors and Ford, and German Zeiss can replace Canon and Nikon. Bankruptcy of American companies and EU companies can provide jobs. Even if some areas cannot be replaced, the three series of companies can fill the gap."

The business manager also understood.

Yu Sanyuan is determined to fight North America head-on.

Yu Yang picked up the teacup and said, "Leader, if we don't act tough, the EU won't be able to act tough. We must put the overall situation first."

"···"

···
Washington, White House.

Old Bu came to Little Bu's office in a wheelchair.

Rumsfeld's resignation was like losing an arm.

The reactions of Asia and Europe made him feel very uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Bain Capital-Romney and the general-McCain have come to help.

And the new Secretary of Defense will be the head of the CIA, Robert Gates.

"The situation is not that pessimistic. At least the Ice Bear will help us turn the tables in West Asia."

To boost morale and liven up the atmosphere, Bush looked at Robert Gates and said, "I once heard a joke. It said that one night, a husband on a business trip told a joke to his wife over the phone. Before his wife laughed, the CIA laughed first...Haha."

Xiaobu: “…”

Romney: “…”

McCain: “…”

Robert: “…”

"Isn't it funny?" Old Bu spread his hands and looked at Little Bu, "Would you like to try one too?"

Xiaobu suddenly thought of a joke in the forum and nodded quickly.

"After the stock market crash, Odom was in a bad mood and came to the bar and ordered a beer."

"The bartender told me: $20."

"Odom was shocked: 20 dollars? It was only 2 dollars yesterday."

"The bartender nodded: Yes, it's $20 today."

"Odom is still in disbelief: Damn, why is it $20?"

"The bartender explained: 2 US dollars is beer, 6 US dollars is three series of tariffs, 6 US dollars is used to support the West Asian war, and 6 US dollars is used to pay the interest on US debt."

"Odom heard this and silently took out $20."

"The bartender took it, put it in the cash register, and handed it back for $2."

"Odom was a little confused: Didn't you say 20 dollars? Why did you give me 2 dollars?"

"The bartender shrugged: Sorry, the Asian and European goods can't be delivered, and we're out of beer."

Xiaobu finished, “Hahahaha!”

Old Bu: “…”

Romney: “…”

McCain: “…”

Robert: “…”

"Isn't it funny?"

"It's not funny at all, it's hell."

Old Bush finally realized how serious the economic problems in North America were.

in silence.

Romney said, "The East has shifted its trade focus to the EU, leaving us with gaps in many areas. In the past two years, Ice Bear has increased its investment in animal husbandry, agricultural products and other fields with the help of the three-series resources. Perhaps we can cooperate with Ice Bear and purchase scarce goods from it."

Old Bu denied it, "The Ice Bear economy is dominated by new and old oligarchs. For their own interests, such as obtaining three-line breeding pigs, three-line breeding cattle, and three-line seeds, they will definitely not dare to violate Yu Sanyuan's regulations, so they will not trade with us."

"Then we can only rely on South America to get through this period, and then speed up our infiltration plan into Europe, and at least get two-thirds of the countries out of the Eurasian economic integration."

"That's all."

Lao Bu sighed and was about to say something when he received a message from Yu Sanyuan.

[If North America is demilitarized, we can talk about everything.]
"Arrogant!"

"Too arrogant!"
