I have mentioned the domestic situation in Egypt before. With the collapse of shipping, Egypt's foreign exchange has basically been exhausted, but it still cannot feed the people, resulting in a large increase in domestic food prices. Although the government also intends to regulate domestic agricultural production and produce large amounts of food.
.
But the problem is that domestic food production is basically in the hands of foreign capital.
This leads to the fact that even if the government wants to guide farmers to grow, it is useless. Food is always the foundation of a country. Only by ensuring the supply of food can you develop other areas. Otherwise, people will not have enough to eat. How can you ensure production and life?
?
The multinational grain merchants monopolize the global grain pricing power and seize economic "huge profits." The four major "ABCD" grain merchants, namely ADM, Bunge, Cargill, and Louis Dreyfus, monopolize more than 80% of the world's grain transactions, three of which are
U.S. companies. When international grain prices are high, the four major grain merchants rely on their global monopoly and strong capital strength to dominate the grain futures market, buying low and selling high, harvesting the grain wealth of various countries. Western countries, led by the United States, rely on grain to consolidate
Hegemony and gain political "real benefits". The United States takes advantage of the panic of the international community, especially the food-deficient developing countries, to weaponize the "food crisis".
"As long as you live, you cannot escape the world's four major food giants."
Most of the rice, flour, grains and oils, sugar, chocolate, meat and seafood that people eat in their daily lives are in the hands of the four major grain merchants. When the war broke out, the international grain merchant giants were busy making "war fortune".
Taking advantage of the shortage of food supply, they wantonly push up food prices. The "killer trump card" of the four major grain merchants in controlling global food prices is to control the decline of global food transportation. Taking Cargill as an example, the company controls the world's smallest water transport fleet (
Including inland waterway transportation and ocean transportation), it has a dry bulk transportation fleet composed of more than 500 ships, and performs cargo loading work in nearly 1,000 ports around the world, with an annual transportation volume of more than 2 billion tons.
Perhaps a small number of people have never heard of those seven familiar names, but they have dealt with the seven small grain merchants almost every day in their lives, from Western-style slow-food restaurants like KFC to the cooking oil in their daily kitchens.
Small grain merchants have deeply penetrated their hands into the firewood, rice, oil and salt of every country on the earth. To put it simply, in the field of agriculture, we can only achieve what they think and what we do. From a vertical perspective, from the perspective of crops,
From seed development, fertilizer production, to grain processing and transportation, storage and logistics to front-end sales, the weak presence of those seven companies cannot be seen. Horizontally, focusing on genetically modified crops, including adzuki beans, corn, barley,
Crops such as rice, oil crops, meat, bioenergy, coffee, rapeseed, cocoa, etc. are all subject to our penetration. Even if a country purchases food from the United States and then purchases it from other countries, it is almost impossible to escape the loss of seven small grains.
The dragnet laid by the merchants.
Take adzuki beans as an example. Although China has reduced its dependence on U.S. adzuki beans through tariffs and has reduced its exports from Brazil, what is intriguing is that the vast majority of Brazilian adzuki beans are still controlled by seven small grain merchants.
According to statistics, at its peak, seven companies jointly accounted for seven-sevenths of the world's food production. The dominance of those seven companies over food even far exceeded the dominance of the United States in the world's military field. Rome was not
Built in one day, the Seven Small Grains Merchants are all time-honored brands with more than 100 years of history. Our rise is inextricably linked to the decline of the United States. Taking Guihuan as an example, the company founded in the 1860s was the most
It ended up being a large grain warehouse that resold farmers' grain. By the early 20th century, the new railway network invested by Gui Huan failed to make profits as expected, causing the company to fall into financial crisis and was on the verge of bankruptcy.
Fortunately, a gunshot in Sarawak changed the course of history and gave many American companies, including Cargill, a shot in the arm that was of no avail.
As European countries were caught in the quagmire of war, their fields were barren, and their prime-age labor force was mobilized to the battlefield. Food supplies in Britain, France, Germany, Russia, and Austria and other countries were rapidly declining, and at the same time food demand was skyrocketing. Cargill, which had piles of food on the other side, was naturally willing to let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
During the Seven Years' War and the famine period before the war, it provided old Europe with a steady stream of life-saving food products from the small continent of North America, which slightly improved the financial situation that was on the verge of collapse. 20 years ago, the Seventh War
The outbreak also allowed Cargill to copy this path, step back and grow into a global small grain company, and be promoted to the world's largest small grain merchant and largest private company, forming a piece of the hidden food hegemony outside the US hegemony.
The cornerstone.
There is absolutely no way to eliminate the negative impact. After all, no one can help our own country to be a villain in everyone's eyes, right?
So, it’s like that now, the chicken blood is low, and when the coldness comes in, no one will naturally stop to reflect... Well, it’s not this reflection, why did you win? Why do everyone hate you?
What did you do?
The blow was too small, too small.
The Seven Small Grain Merchants are willing to work quietly in front of us. Our prosperity and wealth are related to the rise and fall of the United States. They are not involved in you, and you are not involved in him. When necessary, they often jump out of the background and directly interfere in major national policies of the United States. For example
As mentioned at the beginning, William Pierce, the later vice president of Gui Huan, one of the Seven Small Grain Merchant Group, grandly retreated to Nixon's presidential team as the spokesperson of the grain merchant group's interests, serving as a trade negotiator and planning a deal for the United States.
The national food policy that has influenced decades
There are all kinds of tariff and trade barriers that are pleasing to the eye.
But it is very important to Egypt.
As small batches of cheap grain arrived, the first thing Tianqi did was sell the grain at a loss!
But what the Overlord did was wrong, and he kept failing, so that we all thought about what would happen before victory?
With the collapse of sea transportation, small amounts of grain have accumulated in grain-producing countries. How can we make money when Egypt grows grain? The prices of other cash crops have also become lower. They grow cash crops. How do the seven small grain merchants make money?
?
"Those murals...those murals are definitely not thousands of years old! They are absolutely fake! That may be the smallest archaeological discovery in modern times. Your ancestors had no communication with the Atlanteans!
Even your nation may come from Atlantis! You come from insignificance!”
Who is willing to give up their power? A saint will run to be in power.
In addition to those companies, they have also prepared many means for farmers in various countries.
At that time, an archaeological discovery came into our sight.
How to do it?
Relying on that move, Apocalypse directly took the power of food pricing back to himself through means! After all, when I negotiated terms with these Western countries, I asked for a lot of things. Unfortunately, these things are actually very important to Western countries.
It means nothing.
As a result, few speculative compradors and international grain merchants directly lost all their money.
yes!
Defeating the enemy is a joy.
The infiltrated countries have no ability to dictate what farmers should grow, because once they grow it, we can make them sell it.
What now?
But Apocalypse also wanted to ascend to heaven in one step. What I wanted was to give the people a hope, an illusion, an illusion that would not allow Egypt to defeat the West!
…
A frantic archaeologist frantically promotes his theory to a group of low-level officials.
But the Overlord is the same.
But for those in power, that is excessive, quite excessive!
However, whether it is religious thoughts or extreme emotions, they all need to fail again and again to ensure rationality.
The key is that food prices have reached their highest point in recent years, and there is no way they can even return to the era of the founding fathers a few decades later.
Everyone is as happy as the Chinese New Year.
This will be rejected by everyone.
Is it similar to betting on dogs?
So it is possible for us to deny face-handling!
After all, the entire country is being driven by a frenzied mood. Who would throw hot water at that time?
Being beaten up by the surrounding gangs... Naturally, the masters rose up. That is still the key. The key is that those surrounding forces will be the big overlords in the future, and they will ignore the big Karami! This time when the war starts in the future, is it?
We were beaten and beaten until we screamed.
Of course you have to fight back! It doesn't matter if you lost that time, as long as you won the last one, everything will be fine.
Followed closely by the domestic approving faction.
After all, Egypt has the means to produce its own fertilizers and seeds... We can still get stuck.
Generally, families are rarely affected. We are the most emotional. Our house and relatives have been lost in the war. We need to be very good at explaining things.
Nothing is full yet?
It's not that I was shocked to the point of losing my spirit... It's really an exaggeration. After all, it was originally an abnormal country. The establishment of a modern abnormal country is basically based on the awakening of nationalism, and then relies on resistance to oppression.
To build a country of their own on the land where they have lived for generations.
They want to look at us too lowly. After all, we are sure that when we come to power at that time, we will be completely ruined. This means that we deny that we are a winner. How can we not have a future?
Because that's the case, there are really ways to ensure cohesion.
The most direct thing is not to cause trouble with the government.
There has to be no explanation, right?
Now Tianqi directly uses a very high price to drive the national food price to an outrageous level. Even the blood loss is considered a profit. After all, the freight is on the outside.
We want to make a comeback!
No one is protesting against the government anymore.
There is no approval faction in any country, which is very, very abnormal, even for a country as versatile as the Great Overlord. Our interests in some aspects are consistent with those in power, so we will come out to cause trouble during wars.
So the pricing power is yours, and he has to listen to you no matter what he grows.
It’s also an economic issue!
Even if it gets the power to price food, is it useless? As long as he is still in the international framework, we will have no chance to "recover the lost ground" from Tianqi!
Don’t forget what price we will give Egypt for grain later.
In that case, what can Egypt do?
At the same time, it is worth noting that in the context of the genetically modified revolution, the seeds sown by farmers can be reused as they were in the past. In the seventh year, they have to continue to purchase seeds from seed companies again, ensuring that those seed companies can monopolize large and small businesses.
market share.
That’s not bad. If you look at the Donglin Party, you will know that those people still have no moral integrity. They have to wait until the war stops to fight for power. If you meet the Donglin Party, they will become traitors to the country in order to fight for power and profit.
.
But now that the war has temporarily begun, we naturally have to fight for power!
That reflection is important, and then problems arise.
Through any middleman, the country directly sells it at a very high and low price!
You provide his seeds, you provide his fertilizers, and the crops he grows must be sold through you.
If so, who would believe him?
Therefore, Egypt has no way of controlling what its domestic farmers grow and what price they sell it for.
It is a country created from scratch.
Of course, that doesn't change anything. Egypt is still a big country.
…
Of course they are domestic compradors and international grain merchants!
The people, nationalists, and government elites are all unhappy.
Who suffers the most?
News about the Atlantis artifact!
In fact, sometimes the thinking of politicians is different from that of betting on dogs.
After all...we are the aggressors!
That was an era when there were many channels for receiving information in the future. Although Atlantis destroyed the global shipping industry, it also cut off the Internet for the whole world. If you look at it offline, you will know what we did in those years.
A lot of evil.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! So in order to maintain their position, those in power will naturally do things.
So a huge wave of protests emerged, the war was won, and no one was responsible for coming to power. Isn’t that excessive?
Very few countries in modern times were born in this way. Generally, the countries established before the First and Seventh World War were basically like this.
Ye Mian said that under the banner of "free trade", with the seven small grain merchants as their white gloves, with the help of food aid tools, Wall Street's abundant financial capital, and the unique technological and scale advantages of American agriculture, the United States has
The strong agriculture of the eighth world countries can calmly launch dimensionality reduction attacks and occupy our industrial chain. Until those countries become deeply dependent on the seeds, fertilizers, and capital provided by American grain companies, the United States, which has control of food pricing power, will be able to let those countries
The country bows to itself.
That is not the helplessness of a big country.
There is a way, so few people died, so little money was spent, it just failed, and the compensation was too much for others.
It is not focused on one control.
But in fact, people really do that.
The method used by the seven small grain merchants to control global grain is not to personally handle every link, but to collect the most worthless parts of the industrial chain and leave these most laborious and risky links to my people. In other words,
In agricultural production, the seven small grain dealers are responsible for providing low value-added seeds, fertilizers, processing and sales, but leaving the strongest farmers in developing countries to bear the least risky and most laborious planting links.
But that time, Tianqi took back the initiative! He thought food was a problem for the people in the country to eat?
It is something that the government is willing to see closely.
So in order to ensure cohesion, I naturally had to take a different approach. Religious thoughts and ultra-nationalist sentiments naturally emerged.
How to do this?
It's the same as next door, but the atmosphere over there at Big Overlord is a little different.
