Chapter 996 Heavy Casualties
In the Middle East.
It is relatively stable overall.
After the fifth Middle East war, Israel quietly licked its wounds, and the Americans protected their own father from time to time, so so far, no new round of war has 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 aspect, but they have the same goal in dealing with the Shiites.
This is a headache for the Shiite armed forces. They hide in the mountains, and then go down the mountain to fight but cannot win, and their armed forces are decreasing instead of increasing.
Saudi Arabia pays out $1 billion every year to help Yemen develop. Yemen is now starting 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 caused by poverty.
If you have money, most of the conflicts can be resolved, and even if they cannot be resolved, they can be alleviated.
Just like Saudi Arabia, in fact, there are internal conflicts. On the contrary, Saudi Arabia also has many problems.
It's just that Saudi Arabia relies on its annual oil revenue and the large amount of oil profits it can earn every year to maintain a relatively high social welfare, which greatly eases the domestic conflicts.
There are both Sunnis and Shiites in Saudi Arabia, but unlike other countries, they will fight to the death, which is why.
No one really has nothing to do and likes to fight.
Just like liking to fight, Saudi Arabia also has a place to fight.
With the strengthened Arab League and the Arab coalition forces belonging to the Arab League, the entire Arab world seems to be much more peaceful. Oil-producing countries are happily producing oil and natural gas to make money, while other general Middle Eastern countries are going to rich relatives to borrow money and beg for alms.
The entire Middle East market is now the fourth largest regional economic market in the world after North America, Europe and China.
In the direction of Africa, if it weren't for the Sahara Desert, I'm afraid the war in North Africa would spread further.
Although the wars in African countries have been ridiculed as not even as good as the First World War, they basically have no air force, only the army, and the weapons used are also relatively backward weapons.
But in October, the French army lost more than 1,000 people in Africa and injured more than 3,000 people!
If this continues, it is hard to say how long France can hold on.
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 war, and countless people have died in the sea or on the road.
No one knows when the war in Africa will be quelled and when Africa will usher in real peace and development.
Peace is so precious to the African land.
Europe and the United States covet Africa's resources, but they don't want to develop Africa at all, otherwise it wouldn't have been so long, and Africa has never been truly peaceful.
Without peace, let alone development.
In Europe, as the gunpowder smell of the Balkan Peninsula, the "European powder keg", becomes stronger and stronger, no one knows when this "powder keg" will explode.
Europe has even become impetuous because of the Balkan Peninsula.
In late November, Liu Tao's itinerary had to be changed.
It was the leader who came to inspect Yun Province, and Liu Tao had to accompany the leader to inspect the work.
The leader inspected the industry of Yun Province. The Southwest Industrial Base has a pivotal position in China at present. This is the hinterland of China and the safest area in China. Its importance is self-evident.
Although it is a peaceful period now and there is no shadow of war, everything cannot be taken lightly.
With the Southwest Industrial Base, even if the entire coast is destroyed, China can continue the war until it finally wins.
For a long time, China's development has been considered as a whole country, and it has never thought about developing the coast.
The coast has the convenience of sea transportation, but the inland also has its own advantages.
Inspected the main industries, and then inspected 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 I 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.
Fresh fruits are definitely not eaten up, so some of them are made into canned fruits.
There are many canned fruit factories in Yunnan Province, and the canned fruits here are exported to Europe and the United States.
In the past 10 years, these canned fruit factories have carried out strict random inspections when purchasing, because they have suffered too much loss in quality inspection.
Farmers are cool, and farmers are also black!
Poor mountains and bad waters produce unruly people. This sentence is not just talk. They are pitiful and hateful.
In order to make the fruits look beautiful and to harvest more fruits, they will spray pesticides crazily, and pesticide residues are very harmful to fruits.
There was a very famous canned fruit brand before. Because of the lax quality inspection of the purchased fruits, it was found that they did not meet the standards when exported to the United States. It was fined a huge amount of money and finally went bankrupt.
So after suffering enough losses, the canned fruit factories carried out strict random inspections when purchasing.
This also forced farmers not to spray pesticides randomly.
Because of the indiscriminate spraying, no matter how many fruits are harvested, people will not want them.
This is not only true for fruits, but also for dairy and beef cattle breeding.
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, which made it heavy and juicy, and looked particularly good.
Then the cows had 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 were greedy for small profits.
The cows raised here in the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau are very popular, especially the Chaoshan hot pot restaurant that specifically requires the cows from the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, and then cut them into thin slices according to the parts for hot pot.
As a result, a cattle farm had diarrhea after eating the materials it received, and hundreds of cows died, causing the owner of the private cattle farm to lose everything. Then other cattle farms directly blacklisted those villages and stopped purchasing grass there.
There are too many such things.
Only when they suffer a great loss and feel heartbroken will they change.
Many farmers are pitiful, but also hateful.
Some farmers took apples to the highway to sell, and the road was blocked by bags of apples, trying to force drivers to buy.
Other farmers sold fruits on the roadside, selling 40 kilograms as 80 kilograms, or the ones that looked good on the outside were all defective in the middle. I don’t know how many people were deceived, so no one dared to buy fruits on the roadside anymore.
So, some people scolded the traffic police and the urban management, thinking that they were unkind, but if they were not there, I am afraid that many things would be beyond imagination.
Not everyone is a good person with high quality.
The evil of human nature is sometimes really beyond imagination. There is nothing that some people can’t do, only what you can’t think of.
