LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 883: Declaring the End!
Mao Bear Country first congratulated, then expressed a desire to purchase one, to enhance their defensive capabilities against Rice Country!
After consultation among several high-ranking generals of the Big Farm Country, they finally agreed to Mao Bear Country's proposal!
And regarding this matter, Big Farm Country naturally had its own plans. These high-tech weapons, which were very dangerous for the Rice People, if only possessed by Big Farm Country, could likely make them a target!
If Mao Bear Nation also had these weapons, then the army of Rice Country would definitely be distracted!
Furthermore, given the high difficulty in manufacture, even if sold to Mao Bear Country, Mao Bear Country might not be able to replicate them!
In the end, the "evil system" of Rice Country was declared finished after Xu Yang developed the "Dragon's Fang King" missile!
Big Farm Country's Lingnan City was affected by a heavy rain and the city, along with the surrounding areas, underwent an orderly rebuild according to the government's plan.
However,
this war was indeed crippling, severely impacting the crop production across the entire Big Farm Country.
As a major grain producing area in the central region of Big Farm Country, according to their estimates, Big Farm Country's food supply would be at least halved!
Even with "spare" reserves, the current situation still rendered Big Farm Country's "food crisis" very severe!
Big Farm Country began purchasing food globally, but, apart from Mao Bear Country, the rest of the major grain-producing nations announced they would no longer supply to them!
The hidden puppet master was Rice Country.
But for this situation, Big Farm Country had no solutions, as no other countries were willing to export. Could they resort to theft?
The agricultural department of Big Farm Country even specifically convened a major meeting to discuss this issue!
This major meeting focused on how to develop high-yield crops that could effectively respond to the current crisis!
After discussing for more than four hours, still no satisfactory solution was found!
One must know that after Yuan Laoshi developed "hybrid rice," which provided a significant technological breakthrough, Big Farm Country's agriculture, while continuously stable over recent years, hadn't achieved any substantial technological progress!
The development of a technology needed a very long time, at least five years or more!
The heads of the farms were studying a new research method—if a 50% improvement in success rate and a 30% increase in yield could be achieved, then mass production could be initiated!
Currently, no technology had achieved this goal.
Most crop research outcomes could only improve yield by 6%-12%!
But such an increase could not fully alleviate the current crisis!
In the end, the reluctant head of the Big Farm Country Department of Agriculture and Pastures reported this situation to the higher-ups in Big Farm Country!
The leaders felt helpless as they knew how hard it was to increase food production and how long research would take.
In the end, the government of Big Farm Country decided not to put all their hopes on agricultural technology!
After negotiating with other leaders of Big Farm Country, a decision was finally made to purchase some food from abroad to address the internal "crisis"!
He was well aware that if he wanted to purchase food from abroad, cooperation with Rice Country was necessary!
More importantly, he knew Rice Country was waiting for Big Farm Country to reach out, then to exploit the situation and extort Big Farm Country, gaining something from them!
The director had his assistant call Rice Country's leader Foster!
Foster's voice came through, carrying a hint of prideful laughter.
"President, your patience surprises me! Hehe."
The leader got straight to the point.
"What's there to hide? Tell me, what are America's demands?"
Foster had known the leader for a long time and was very familiar with his character. Both men were extremely intelligent, and each knew what the other was thinking!
"It's always better to work with smart people. We, the United States, are not going to make an unreasonable demand. We just hope to buy a type of high-tech electromagnetic weapon from your great agricultural nation!"
The leader smiled slightly, as they had anticipated the United States' request, but it was impossible!
"You may make another request, Mr. Foster! Like purchasing 4 nm chips from the great agricultural nation or something else!"
The leader's refusal was not unexpected to Foster. He knew that the great agricultural nation held a leading position in high-tech electromagnetic research on a global scale!
If it weren't for the fact that the great agricultural nation had already developed high-tech electromagnetic weapons, the leader might have suggested selling the 4 nm chips to America, and he might have agreed.
However, electromagnetic weapons posed a greater threat to America!
During the last international military competition, there was a missile hovering in the sky above the White House in the United States.
All of this deeply shocked Foster.
If America wanted to continue its domination on Blue Star, they needed to possess their own electromagnetic technology!
"Mr. Leader, the demands from the United States this time are clear, only the high-tech electromagnetic weapons manufactured by the great agricultural nation suffice, everything else is superfluous!"
"Foster, I can say with certainty that the great agricultural nation cannot provide you with these high-tech electromagnetic weapons!"
Foster was not annoyed, instead, he smiled.
"Mr. Leader, it seems that your country has not made a decision yet, but we, the people of the United States, have plenty of time!"
Foster had learned patience through his battles with the great agricultural nation and had become more cunning.
In this regard, he did not expect to successfully negotiate directly with the great agricultural nation.
The United States still had ample time; waiting any longer would only put them in a more passive position!
After all, if they could not address this issue fundamentally soon, the great agricultural nation would face many troubles in the future!
When Foster hung up the phone from the leader,
a mischievous smile appeared on his lips, confident that he would win.
Foster thought for a moment and took down a copy of the Tao Te Ching from his desk.
This was introduced to him by Bern, who had said, for the battle against the great agricultural nation, he must read all the ancient texts!
After all, "Know your enemy and know yourself, and you will never be defeated."
The great agricultural nation had also tried to prevent America from interacting with other countries, but they were outright refused!
It seemed that America's control over Dragon City was even stronger than they had imagined!
In an underground building in the suburbs of Kyoto, the great agricultural nation.
A woman and two men stood there.
The woman had large blue eyes, clearly a foreigner!
Next to her, there were two men: one, a man from the great agricultural nation, ragged and thin, yet with sharp eyes.
The other, a young man with a dirty braid, large eyes, a high nose bridge, and a delicate face, dressed in smart clothes, looked like a foreign student!
