The end of this press conference basically announced the complete end of the plateau front, while the desert front on the other side was still in a difficult situation.

The sudden outbreak of large-scale battles has brought great panic to the entire international community. More importantly, one of them is an important grain-producing country in the world.

Food prices have risen further, and tensions about "food shortage" have almost reached their peak.

Wheat prices have further risen, and countries have begun to sell reserve grains on a large scale, but only a very small number of these reserve grains have flowed into the market and into the hands of residents, because most of them have been intercepted and hoarded by the four major grain traders before they have reached the distribution channel.

Such storage naturally cannot achieve the expected effect, but the four major grain merchants have indeed released some grain to maintain the most basic order and stability. This stability is shaky and hesitant at the critical value. It seems that only if there is a little more new disturbance, it will immediately slide into the unstoppable abyss.

However, in such a crisis, China has become the strongest fortress.

The reason is extremely simple.

Small-packaged commercial grains have been officially launched through Huagra logistics and COFCO channels.

Originally, there was something that had risen to the price of wheat falling. The old men and mothers who went to the supermarket to rush to buy were stunned at the flour and rice that were almost piled on the ceiling. No one knew how to start for a while.

The public opinion on garrisoning grain on the Internet suddenly reversed, and those who spent a lot of cash to garrison could no longer speak, and the sarcasm suddenly became louder.

The agency channels of the four major grain merchants in China were almost defeated, and more and more agents began to turn against each other. The collapse of one point quickly spread to the whole area. After all, these agents are not loyal dogs of ugly countries. Most of the time, they are just a group of merchants who are swaying and want to make money.

As long as you are a businessman, you cannot face losses calmly - especially when food exports are difficult.

Subsequently, news of the stable food prices in China began to spread out, and doubts about grain prices began to appear internationally. This voice gradually gathered and eventually passed into the ears of the initiator.

...

On the other side of the sea, the Office of Strategic Analysis.

Johnson has read the analysis report on the price of staple food in the Chinese market, and the results are within his expectations, but in some aspects it exceeds his judgment.

He knew that China would definitely stabilize the food price, and they did not pursue defeating each other in the first stage, but the other party's series of actions were really too fast and too calm.

It's like they've practiced countless times.

From controlling the initiative of public opinion, to cracking down on smuggling, to resisting enemies thousands of miles, to launching small packages of staple food, this combination of punches has no conspiracy, but has defeated its own offensive step by step.

Is this the so-called level of mobilization?

If your country faces the same crisis, will you be able to achieve such a level of mobilization?

-----No, that's obviously impossible.

After all, my country is a country where electricity and water are cut off in extreme cold weather, and the official will stand up and let the people find ways.

If local officials dare to make such remarks, they will probably be hidden in a few days, right?

He shook his head and turned his gaze back to the big screen.

"...The stability of China's grain prices has brought adverse effects on our layout. There is already a strong voice in the international community, questioning that the rise in grain prices is related to our manipulation."

"Behind this voice, we can clearly see the participation of officials from various countries - a large part of them actually knew it was related to us from the beginning, but things have developed to this point, and it seems that they have exceeded the bottom line they can accept."

"We need a new push to fight such doubts. Otherwise, letting them continue, it will be very unfavorable for our subsequent plans."

Johnson nodded and asked:

“What are the options we can choose?”

The analyst brought out a tree diagram, then pointed to the forks above and said:

"The first solution is wheat virus. We have made some preparations in the early stage and obtained some experimental data. If it is now widely deployed, it should be able to achieve good results."

"However, the delivery of this plan is too difficult because the actual transmission of this virus is not strong. All we can do is to use small-scale cases of disease to influence public opinion."

Johnson nodded and signaled the other party to continue.

"The second solution is climate change. Similarly, we have laid the groundwork, including some small-scale climate weapon strikes, but it is not easy to cause actual food production reductions on a large scale with the technology we have mastered now."

"On the other hand, the current stage of meteorological weapons have poor strike accuracy, and we ourselves are likely to be affected."

"Then I won't consider this one. Next."

Johnson replied decisively.

"The third plan, also the easiest and easiest plan to implement, is still the core of using the Yin-Pakistan conflict."

"According to our previous strategy, this conflict should have been that Yindu attacked Bayang, which forced the rabbit to participate in the conflict and consumed its domestic strength. However, based on the previous test results, such a strategy has proved to be unfeasible."

"The combat effectiveness of the Yindu army is really poor. It is already difficult to maintain the current balance of power. Unless we participate fully, the battle will end soon."

“So, my advice is: reverse strategy.”

"We should not support Yin Fang anymore, but allow Bayang to invade Punjab and consume local food stocks by lengthening the front and expanding the battlefield. This can also achieve our goal."

Johnson frowned when he heard the analyst's words.

"Are you sure this strategy can be implemented? I remember we have discussed it before. If Ba Sheep attacks Punjab, they will not only not destroy food, but may even open warehouses and release grain. If they do, our plan can be completely failed."

The analyst nodded solemnly and replied:

"Yes, they will definitely open the warehouse and release grain--this is a sure thing."

"However, this will not affect our plans."

"What we want to destroy is not food, but food fields."

"...Bayang won't do that."

Johnson shook his head and replied.

“But we will.”

The analyst's eyes were firm, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him. Johnson was stunned for a moment and finally nodded.

...

As time entered October, the stalemate between Yin and Pakistan was completely broken, and the Yin defense line collapsed. The so-called elite troops quickly exposed their true combat power under the integrated attack of Pakistani air-ground. The front line continued to move back from the original border area and continued to move back to Punjab.

As expected by the Chou Kingdom, the Bafang attacked the grain merchants in the city, forcing them to hand over the stored grain, leaving only the most basic military rations, and began to sell low-priced grains in the rear, and even implemented free relief strategies for some poor areas.

Such a strategy has made Punjab's grain prices a depression in the Yindu food market, and other states have followed suit, setting off a craze for food hoarders.

Everything seemed to be moving in a positive direction, the residents had a meal, and the Bayang won the battle.

However, just as Bayang was planning to move forward further, an air strike against Punjab stunned everyone.

In the report, the target of the air strike seemed to be the Pakistani side's logistics supply line.

But in fact, almost all the shells of the air strike fell on non-military units without air defense.

Mainly those farmlands that are connected.

On this day, thick smoke was everywhere in Punjab.

The smoke is mixed with the aroma of roasted wheat, the pungent smell of napalm bombs, the smell of blood, and some decay and disgusting smell.

Everyone saw through the plot, but no one could react to it.

----Except China.

Two days after the air strike, the official website of the Huaxia Academy of Agricultural Sciences announced that the technology of gene editing and increasing production of KNR2 and iPad1-Pro10 materials has made breakthrough progress. The output of the first batch of transplanted rice increased by 40% on average and the production cycle was shortened by 15%.

At the same time, this feature has heritable characteristics, and the first batch of seeds have entered the production process and are expected to be provided to the world within the year.

In addition, the application of similar technologies in the field of wheat yield increase has also entered the final verification stage, and the effect is expected to be no less than that of rice yield increase.
