Chapter 485 The Whole World Is Our Enemy! (First Update!)
Listening to the curse words relayed on the phone, Lin Yu knew that America's actions this time had angered several princes in the Middle East.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have pinched America’s balls.
However, Carlo's words are not quite right. Now, at least for the moment, Israel can only be regarded as half of America's eggs.
Nip, the Americans will defend back, but not so quickly.
But it will have some effect after all.
After coughing lightly, Lin Yu said to the phone with a smile: "Just let the people in the production department make arrangements."
"Well... contact Zasif and ask him if he would like some. Weapon promotion, extra 10% off!"
"The weapons given to Carlo and others will also be given according to this standard, and Abu will also send some."
"Cavani and the others may enter Türkiye and give them a copy as well."
"Other work can continue as usual."
Lin Yu arranged the work and was about to hang up the phone when Qian Duoduo spoke faster and asked: "Nicholas also contacted me and asked for some additional CL20 orders. The quantity is about 30% more than before."
This sudden news made Lin Yu stunned on the spot. After a brief thought, he lowered his voice and said to the phone:
"Give it to him! Then you try and see if you can get some words out of him."
"Look at where these explosives are being used. If they can't be used, forget it."
"I'll hang up first!"
Putting down the phone, Lin Yu turned around and walked out of the communication room, turning to the room with a map hanging next to him. Looking at the boxes on the world map, infinite confusion appeared in his eyes.
Compared with the same period, there are 30% more CL20 explosives. This is a huge amount. Where will these guys use this batch of materials?
Europe?
Or the Middle East?
Or maybe Russia?
When Lin Yu was confused, London, England.
Prime Minister Neville Livingston was yelling: "Are those Americans crazy? Are they crazy?"
"Do they really think Türkiye is that easy to fight? No matter how weak Türkiye is, it can still withstand attacks for more than half a year."
"Coupled with their terrain, do these Americans want to replicate what the Soviet Union experienced in Afghanistan?"
"madman!"
"TMD, they don't think Russia will end, do they?"
"Madman! These brainless things, prisoners, beasts, no wonder these people were driven out of London and driven to the barren land of America."
Next to him was Agriculture Minister Lennon Mathias. When the Prime Minister in front of him stopped cursing, he spoke slowly:
"Prime Minister Weir, it's useless for you to curse here. Two of our cargo ships carrying food were sunk in the Dardanelles Strait."
"Each ship has 300,000 tons of wheat, which means we have 600,000 tons of wheat gone!"
"The sunken ships are blocking the waterway. If they need to be cleared, it will take at least about a month."
"But the problem is, we are short of food now, very, very short!"
"So you need to make a decision now, do we buy food emergency supplies from Australia or do we buy food emergency supplies from America."
Weir looked very unhappy when his curse words were interrupted. He turned around with a murderous look on his face and asked, "Is it that urgent? Is there not enough food in London? If there is not enough food, won't we coordinate with the surrounding cities?"
After clicking his tongue, Agriculture Minister Lennon shook his head and said:
"As for why I'm anxious."
"It's because we don't have the habit of storing food, so the food around us can only be stored for one month at most."
“Two ships in London were sunk in the Dardanelles, and although ships in other cities were not sunk, they were also blocked in the Black Sea.”
"And we can't steal food from Northern Ireland like we did a hundred years ago."
"So we can only purchase from outside."
"This purchase is an unplanned purchase. It takes about three months for the entire grain procurement plan to be formulated, submitted, then delivered to you, and then from your hands to the planning and submission department."
"The planning submission department will issue the plan and let people purchase it. The whole process will take about a month."
"When this plan arrives at the grain purchasing area and a new round of grain has been harvested, our ship will be able to carry the new grain and return to London in at least a month!"
Lennon spoke very seriously, and Weir listened very seriously. After listening and confirming that the person in front of him would not say anything more, the British Prime Minister asked very seriously:
"Are people starving to death?"
Very sudden and confusing question.
Lennon's mind was a little confused, but after a short calculation, he gave an answer:
"Thank you Prime Minister for your concern. At least I won't starve to death."
When the answer was not what was asked, Weir went completely berserk. He swooped forward, grabbed Lennon by the collar, and asked, "Can't you speed up the efficiency?"
“Like taking the train and using the train to transport food from Ukraine?”
The next second, he received an answer that was so infuriating that he went berserk again.
"No! Because this is the job of civil servants! But these jobs are too simple. In order to make ordinary people think that civil servants are worth their money, they can show their usefulness by delaying time."
"As for transporting food by train, funds are needed."
Putting his hands on his head, Weir sat back on the chair weakly, looking at the ceiling with his eyes blankly and asked: "Where are the neighboring countries? France, Portugal, Germany, they should have food, right? Go ask them to buy some."
Lennon still responded to the new order unhurriedly: "After the news was confirmed, food prices in the EU increased by 7% in one day, which has triggered the relevant price mechanism bill."
"It is expected that in the next week, prices will rise by about 12%. Maybe we have just finished talking about food funding issues, and prices have risen to a point that we cannot accept."
"How high it will rise in the end depends on when Turkey will solve the problem."
The question returned to Turkey. Weir stretched out his hand feebly and said: "Call the Minister of Defense over here, and then you ask him for me, if I want to send troops to help Turkey, how long will it take?"
Lennon did not leave in a hurry, but stood there and thought hard.
After a while, he said seriously: "About three days!"
This outrageous number made Will jump out of his chair. He stared at the person in front of him with wide eyes and asked with disbelief:
"Why so fast?"
Faced with the question, Lennon replied seriously: "Because our army needs to prove that it can still defend our country!"
"Prove it to whom?"
"To the common people!"
"Why do you need proof?"
"Because they really can't protect their country, not at all!"
Another answer that made people want to die, making Weir completely unable to suppress himself. He rushed out of his office like a storm and shouted to the national defense and military adviser in the next office:
"Tell the Minister of Defense to send troops to Türkiye immediately to protect Türkiye's sacred rights to freedom from infringement!"
After receiving this outrageous instruction, the national defense military adviser turned his head and used the phone in front of him to pass the news to the Minister of Defense.
Then, European countries received the news.
France.
After receiving the news that England was moving, the French Minister of Defense turned his questioning eyes to the opposite side, towards the Prime Minister opposite.
What you want to express is very obvious, how to do it?
The Prime Minister received the glance from the Minister of Defense, turned his head expressionlessly, turned his gaze to the head of the intelligence department, and asked:
"Where's the information from the intelligence service? What does America want to do?"
"I don't know!" The head of the intelligence department answered very simply and in a very loud voice, and then immediately explained:
"We contacted people from the American European Theater Command, and they said they were not sure, but Central Command in Washington gave instructions to cooperate."
"But the specific implementation is carried out by the Central Theater Command."
"The Pacific Theater Command is also cooperating."
"People in the European theater don't know exactly what to do."
A series of unclear questions made the French Prime Minister secretly sad. He held his forehead with his hand and thought hard for a long time. He slowly raised his head and said:
"Let our foreign mercenary regiments in Iraq enter Türkiye and enter them as peacekeepers."
“Help Türkiye secure the Black Sea waterways.”
"What about America?" the Secretary of Defense asked, his voice very soft and cautious.
This sentence caused the Prime Minister to fall into silence again. After a moment, he said softly: "I will leave for Germany later, and I will visit the German Chancellor in person."
"This time, America has gone too far and we have to show our attitude."
"Finally, the Minister of Agriculture should contact England and tell them that we can sell food, but at a 35% increase from the previous price!"
"If you agree, sell it. If you don't agree, then slowly go to America, Australia, or Canada to buy it."
"With the speed of their group, the new round of food can be eaten fresh, even if they are efficient!"
"The meeting is over!"
With the order, everyone present had work, and a group of people got up one after another and went about their business.
…………
Egypt.
In Cairo, in the parliament hall on the bank of the Nile River, a group of people looked at the news coming from Turkey, with different expressions on their faces, but basically they were angry.
After the Black Sea food channel was blocked, one country that felt that the sky had fallen was Egypt.
In 2000, Egypt's population was approximately 71 million.
In 2003, Egypt's population was approximately 76 million.
In three years, the population has seen a net increase of 5 million.
However, the food self-sufficiency rate has been declining year by year as the population has grown. The specific reason is that the water of the Nile River can only nourish so much land.
For this mouthful of Nile water, Egypt has had many conflicts with Sudan and Ethiopia upstream.
If it were not for the fact that these two countries do not belong to the Arab camp, Egypt would still be able to seek help from other Arab countries when death is imminent.
I'm afraid Egypt is a country that has long been cold.
March, April, May and June every year are the leanest times, and they are also the most difficult times.
In previous years, at this time, all one had to do was tighten the belt and seek some favors from a few big brothers to get through these few months.
After waiting for the local food harvest in the new year, you can start the hard work plan for the next year.
The climate in different parts of the world is different, and the degree of food harvest is different. When a new round of food comes in, the old round of food must be cleared out of stock.
This is the time for Egypt to buy food.
But no one expected that at this time, at this critical juncture.
Turkey is in chaos.
The food they bought from Russia can no longer come.
Fuck!
In silence, Agriculture Minister Arturo Stuart said softly: "At this point, we can choose to give up the food from Russia."
"Even if it can be delivered smoothly, it will take at least two months. We can't delay it for two months in our current situation."
"If we don't come up with a relevant solution within this week and make it public, then we should clean our necks and prepare for the riots!"
"My suggestion is that even if we go to India or Vietnam to purchase rice, we have to come up with a plan."
Arturo's words made the already heavy atmosphere in the room even heavier.
I want to say a few words, but what Arturo said is all facts.
Because of eating habits and the shortage of materials, rice, the largest grain in the world, is not a common staple food on the Egyptian table.
The shortage of supplies has caused many people, even the official relief agencies, to have no time, ability, or energy to slowly cook the rice into soft rice.
And those ordinary people who receive relief have no place to store the delicate rice.
"I agree with Arturo's idea!" A congressman in charge of agricultural facilities raised his hand and supported the Minister of Agriculture Arturo with a loud voice.
With the first supporter, the second supporter appeared, and then the third.
Slowly, except for Arturo who proposed the idea at the beginning, the rest of the people raised their hands.
After everyone put down their hands, Arturo turned his head and looked at the Minister of Finance next to him, and said: "Help me prepare some funds and contact the cargo ship."
"I will go to India later. If the efficiency is sufficient, I will be able to return with food in a week at most."
"You need to ask the relief agency to prepare to replace the cooking utensils with cooking utensils for cooking rice to ensure that the poor can eat and prevent them from rioting."
"Also, warn those who like to make trouble!"
After explaining, Arturo nodded to everyone, turned around and walked out of the meeting room and disappeared.
Afterwards, the Minister of Finance and several other people in charge of agriculture and people's livelihood also left one after another, leaving only military-related people at the scene.
The rest of the people looked at each other, and it seemed that they all had something to say, but no one was willing to speak.
After staring at each other for more than ten minutes, the Army Commander gritted his teeth and said, "We can't just swallow this loss."
"We have to find a way to make up for it, otherwise someone will use this method again next time. Although it's not directly targeting us, we are the worst off."
"What do you think we should do?" The Air Force Commander asked, and at the same time, the commander was also looking at others to see what they thought.
The next second, the Army Commander blurted out a plan.
"Block the Suez Canal!"
Happy Mid-Autumn Festival to everyone! Fourth update!
