Chapter 25 Long-term and short-term plans
"And now, the human rights of these people have actually been violated, by low-tech and backward areas."
"They are not mentally deficient and have worked hard, but they do not have access to even the most basic food and hygiene conditions."
"Of course, we have to admit that this phenomenon is caused by many factors, and it is also very complex internally, involving a large number of historical factors and existing international market changes."
"For example, the price of fossil fuels is rising, the popularity of agricultural machinery is low, infrastructure is too backward, and picking vegetables and fruits still requires a lot of manpower, etc."
“But putting these issues aside and looking at the essential result is that a large amount of precious labor resources are wasted, performing inefficient and meaningless work.”
"They were supposed to be the backbone of the fight against the Trisolarans, but now they are wasting their lives in inefficient agricultural production."
"At the same time, some countries have excess production capacity, whether in low-end or high-end industries. For example, China produces too much cement and steel, as well as Japan."
"We can fully utilize these excess production capacities and use them to help backward countries improve agricultural production efficiency, so that the huge populations of developing countries can exert their due power."
"So this is my plan to build a future agricultural production system by establishing new three-dimensional farms and ecological recycling systems, increasing agricultural subsidies, and introducing genetically modified crops."
As for why we are opposed to the long-term, the main reason is that the impact is too great. If the time is extended a little longer, China will be able to accept even the long-term plan.
"The long-term plan is to increase the current production of grains, vegetables, eggs and meat to 31.4 times the current level, and to reduce the number of people engaged in agriculture to less than 5 million."
"At the same time, by introducing low-priced food to less developed countries, we will liberate 1.1 billion people working in agriculture around the world and transfer these 1.1 billion people to mid- and low-end industries."
"It is impossible for our country to agree to this plan!" After Say finished speaking, the American representative couldn't wait to deny it.
China had been doing similar things long before the Crisis Era. Properly assisting the development of these backward countries was tantamount to expanding the global market for low-end industries and raw materials.
"If they interfere with the Wall Face Plan and the arrangements of the PDC, then they can consider closing down, you understand."
At the same time, unemployed farmers will find other manual jobs, so that the local mining industry and low-end industries will develop and more raw materials and industrial products can be exported.
"But I am not a member of Congress on Capitol Hill. I don't care whether Bayer or Bunge can make money. I only care about the situation of the Wall Plan and the PDC."
"Yet you have been ungratefully slandering us! You are also trying to maliciously suppress our country's enterprises!" The American representative shouted angrily after hearing this.
"I know that because of the influence of ABCD and their allied companies, and in order to maintain the hegemony of the superpower, you have always had an abnormal obsession with agriculture."
"Carrying out such huge infrastructure projects will not only increase agricultural output, but also promote the development of the declining construction industry after the crisis era and drive the economic and industrial development of backward countries."
"I think Chairman Say's suggestion makes sense. Maybe we should consider it," the Brazilian representative suggested, but unfortunately not many people paid attention to him.
"Just accommodating the unemployed is a problem, not to mention that the excess food can't be used for anything except storing it or refining it." The representative from China considered.
"In the short term, we can discuss it, such as setting up rural reform pilot zones around the world, but in the long term, the impact on society will be too great."
Because as local agricultural production efficiency improves, food production will increase. The local government can better alleviate the fiscal deficit by exporting food, and then expand more cooperation with the outside world.
It must be said that this large-scale infrastructure is very attractive to China, the largest industrial country in the world.
"So the purpose of this project is to balance the differences in agricultural technology across regions, so as to alleviate famine and promote the healthy development of human civilization. Thank you all, I'm done."
"Not to mention this bullshit long-term plan, even the so-called establishment of rural reform pilot zones will not be accepted by the international community!"
"We can't see any meaning in this plan other than spending money in different ways!" Unfortunately, the U.S. representative rejected the compromise proposal given by the Chinese representative.
Then he stood up and continued: "So Ms. Say, your plan is to feed all mankind into a bunch of fat pigs?"
This behavior caused many people to whisper.
"Okay, this is not the secret room of the United Nations Security Council or the WTO. Let's get back to the topic." The German representative knocked on the table.
Sai's behavior of tampering with food is tampering with their lifeblood.
"As for the investors, they are all countries in the world. Countries can provide different forms of support according to their own situations, such as providing relevant technical talent support, infrastructure project support, and eliminating tariffs and other different methods."
"It seems that when it comes to spending money, Ms. Say is more professional than Mr. Rey Diaz. The latter just likes to produce hydrogen bombs, while the former likes to overthrow the entire agricultural system."
"What nonsense! This is a slander against our country! In fact, we have always been the largest funder of the wall plan and PDC. Without the support of the United States, PDC is nothing!"
"The initial goal is to increase global production of grains, vegetables, eggs and meat to 3.15 times the current level and establish a low-cost crop production system."
The British representative sneered: "With such a Wallfacer, at least we don't have to worry about running out of money before the 'Doomsday War'."
"This gentleman." After listening to the noise, Sai looked directly into the eyes of the American representative, causing the latter to avoid her sharp eyes unconsciously.
"Perhaps Chairman Sai is a sumo enthusiast, and she thinks that the way for humans to fight against the Trisolarans is to gain weight, so that they can directly crush the Trisolarans to death." The Japanese representative sneered.
Sai knocked on the table and emphasized: "It is not about feeding all mankind into fat pigs, but about allowing all mankind to have basic dignity and live like a human being instead of like a cockroach."
"This is the 21st century, and obtaining adequate nutrition is a person's most basic dignity and human rights. This is more important than democratic politics or anything else."
"You Western gentlemen who regard human rights as supreme and want to save sparrows on telephone poles, why are you so opposed to me bringing the most basic human rights to more than a billion poor people?"
