The Montaya people seem to have natural athletic talent. Even if they play football and basketball, there are no technical moves at all. But with their innate and excellent physical conditions, they play very hard. Compared to most Montaya people
For people, exercise is just a game, but for some people with ideas, exercise is the magic weapon to change their destiny.
The story about Nwali has been spread through Muntaya TV. In the eyes of the younger generation of Muntaya people, Nwali is synonymous with success and wealth. After the selection, he finally realized what long-distance running is.
Among the Taya people, I don’t know how many children and their parents have dreamed of being long-distance runners.
Not to mention the children who were selected into the long-distance running club, even the children who were eliminated still maintained the hope in their hearts, just like other children who yearned to use their legs to change their destiny. They walked barefoot in the mud every day during the rainy season.
Running across the land, the muddy water splashed behind him covered the child's naked back.
This rainy season is destined to be different from the boring rainy seasons in the past.
Different, indeed different, and completely different. But by the time people realized it, it was already too late. People in Montaya, who had just been happy for a few months, discovered that there had been too much rain this year, causing flooding.
At the beginning, people who were immersed in peaceful life and sports fun did not notice that this rainy season was different from the past. People discovered that the water all around had not receded for a long time, and even most of the fields that were originally considered to be on higher ground were covered with water.
When a large area was submerged in water, people realized the seriousness of the situation
The terrain in northern Mongolia is much higher than that south of the Natni River. This is the main reason why the colonists took the lead in developing this area. Generally speaking, after the rainy season begins, the land in northern Mongolia will have water accumulation for two months.
After the arrival of more light rainy season, there will be a month-long receding period.
Then there is the time when plants grow wildly on the land that is full of water. What will be produced on the land? What will be the harvest after the dry season begins? It all depends on the growth of the plants during this period. If there is too much or too little precipitation in the rainy season,
The early or late water withdrawal period will affect the subsequent harvest.
This year, it is clear that the water has receded, but the water in the low-lying areas is still vague, and there is no sign of the water weakening. What is even more worrying is the situation obtained from some well-known meteorological analysis experts in the world.
The feedback is: the rainfall in the entire East Africa this year will be much greater than in previous years, and will last longer
This is terrible. According to the original plan of Zhou Jiping and Mountbatten, Montaya made a commitment to the international community to be basically self-sufficient in food for three years, and in exchange for this, he received strong help from the international community and humanitarian organizations. According to Montaya
The original idea of the government team was that Montaya would spend the first year building water conservancy projects and cultivating
Raise a group of farmers who have mastered planting and breeding techniques, and then use these explored technologies to use the roads, railway ports and other facilities that can initially play a role to reclaim land and expand the scale of planting and breeding around these transportation lines for two years.
With time expansion and recuperation, we can fully achieve the goal of food self-sufficiency.
But now, because of the endless heavy rain, the plan has been disrupted
Not to mention anything else, even those who work for the national projects in Montaya, the Montaya government almost has no wages to pay. At this time, the advantage of ordinary workers in Montaya to demand payment in kind as wages has emerged.
With a monthly ration of 120 pounds per person, plus some wild vegetables picked from the wild, plus some snails and insects that are everywhere in East Africa, the family does not have to worry about starvation.
But those who were the first to change their minds and receive paper money wages were in misery. As the amount of food available for purchase on the market decreased, prices in Montaya began to rise slowly. Some speculators with bad intentions began to take the opportunity to hoard food and be reluctant to sell it.
, it also contributes to the rise in prices. Seeing that Muntaya’s inflation is about to happen
Under this situation, the Montaya government had to hold meetings and press conferences one after another. While studying ways to control inflation, it quickly issued a series of temporary laws and regulations to combat unscrupulous businessmen from driving up prices. However, now Montaya
However, in a country that implements a legal system, under such a political system, the government and laws are powerless against some relatively hidden speculations. Now, the only thing the Montaya government can do is to put a large amount of grain into the market as soon as possible and use it continuously.
Continuous supply stabilizes people's hearts. But where does this large amount of food come from?
First of all, Zhou Jiping thought about his tribe again, and thought about the southern tribal areas with rich products and vast territory. For this reason, Zhou Jiping even took a helicopter trip to the south. However, when he looked down from the plane, he saw
When the entire southern tribal area had already turned into a desert, his heart became cold. Just from what he saw on the plane, Zhou Jiping knew that not only could the entire tribal area not be able to help him, but he might also need Muntaya.
government help
Sure enough, when his plane landed directly in Soyo, he realized how serious the situation was. The heliport on the other side of the Corinne River was soaked in water, not to mention the farmland around Soyo. If it hadn't been for Soyo
The terrain is high enough, and I'm afraid Soyo's population of more than 100,000 people will also follow.
After suffering, Soyo is now resting on his laurels, relying entirely on the food accumulated in the surrounding highland warehouses in the past few years. As for some small and medium-sized tribes scattered throughout the grasslands, there is already a food shortage.
, or the stored grain becomes moldy and cannot be eaten.
Not only that, livestock breeding in the entire southern tribal areas has also been affected. The continuous rainfall has left livestock without dry fodder and clean drinking water. Some livestock have to stand in puddles all the time. As a result, the livestock continue to start to have diarrhea.
If this continues, widespread death will occur.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Zhou Jiping couldn't help feeling a little guilty. Since the establishment of Muntaya's new government, he has focused more energy on the north and the handling of Montaya's national affairs, but has neglected it.
The place that took him in and allowed him to rise. The current southern tribal area is managed by the Jiwayo elders, and the specific administrative affairs are taken care of by the Musoma elders. Although the southern tribal area encountered such a difficult situation this time, it had not been done before.
Never complained to Zhou Jiping
Seeing Zhou Jiping's return, Elder Jiwayo and other elders of the older generation, as well as the entire people of Soyo, were very excited. They gathered around to greet Zhou Jiping. This made Zhou Jiping feel even more guilty.
After understanding the situation in the southern tribal areas, Zhou Jiping's "begging" turned into inspecting the disaster situation in the southern tribal areas. Then when reporting the situation to Mountbatten, he explained that the southern tribal areas were not only unable to provide help to the government, but also
Situations requiring large amounts of food and medicine assistance
There is no way to go, so we have to take another way, that is - ask for help!
Subsequently, Montaya sent messages asking for help to the World Food Organization, friendly countries, the African Union, and friendly people like Mr. Henry. At this time, the Montaya government had food that could stabilize prices.
There is only enough for half a month. This is the result of Montaya suspending most of the projects and reducing project investment to a minimum.
What is even more frustrating is that some simple water conservancy projects that took shape in the past few months have turned into pools of sludge in the continuous heavy rain. This is also due to the lack of experience of the new government composed of Mountbatten, Zhou Jiping and others.
, they only focused on getting to college quickly, but did not use modern building materials in time to consolidate the quality of the project. The result is that it is too late to say anything now. The most important thing is to get enough food to tide over the immediate difficulties.
Soon, international organizations that received Montaya's request for help sent back news. Although all parties expressed sympathy for Montaya's situation, they also said: Due to the low world food production this year, large-scale disasters have occurred in East Africa.
Floods, there are so many places in the world that need assistance. What they can help the Montaya government can only be a very small part. We also hope that the Muntaya government can think of other ways and try its best to save itself.
After counting the grains raised so far, Zhou Jiping found that these grains can only meet the needs of Montaya for more than two months. Although Montaya can last until the end of the rainy season, what will happen after the rainy season? This year's grain production will be reduced.
How should we solve the food problem in the dry season? We have no choice but to continue looking for foreign aid.
Through Laisi's friend, Zhou Jiping conducted research on the grain output of various countries in the world in recent years, and found that there are two countries that are absolutely not short of food. What is interesting is that these two countries have good relations with Montaya.
One is Country M and the other is Rose. One is a model of mechanized agriculture, and the other is the country that owns the European granary. With their huge strategic reserve systems, as long as they can help a little bit, Montaya will be able to survive in a few years.
It is possible to eat and drink without worrying, but the problem is that there is no free lunch in the world
Both Mountbatten and Zhou Jiping are very familiar with the way these two countries act. As long as the Montaya government requests assistance from them, these two countries will definitely help Montaya very "enthusiastically", but there are conditions.
There is absolutely no way to hide it. As for the attached conditions, it's hard to say. Maybe it's the share of the two countries' large mineral investment in Montaya, or it may be a profit sharing issue. Maybe there's also a requirement to station troops in Montaya.
question
But the three giants of the Montaya government, Mountbatten, Makunda and Borma, have already had an internal strategy. They will never easily fall to any of them, let alone form a military alliance with any of them by allowing troops to be stationed. Because that would
If so, Muntaya is likely to be dragged into the vortex of regional conflicts again.
