Since 1983, Africa has experienced the largest drought and famine of the century. There are 34 major droughts in 55 countries and regions in Africa, and major famine occurs in 24 countries, and 1.5~185 million people are threatened by hunger. In 1983 alone, 16 million people died from hunger or malnutrition-related diseases, and the death toll was even higher in 1984. The United Nations called the Holodomor "the greatest human catastrophe in Africa's recent history." After the famine was alleviated in 1985, just a few years, in the 90s, a large-scale famine broke out again in Africa.

The causes of this great famine are quite complex, and there have been many research monographs, so if you are interested, you can check out those articles. And here is a brief description in order to have a concept:

First of all, agriculture in Africa is quite backward, and many places are still in a state of slash-and-burn farming. In fact, Africa's agricultural environment is quite good, even if it is slash-and-burn, it can have a high yield, so Africans have no motivation for intensive cultivation at all, let alone the habit of storing grain; in addition, hundreds of years of arrest of strong labor black slaves have led to a great degradation of agricultural technology in Africa; after the independence of African countries, a large number of white colonial farmers have been driven out, resulting in a fault in advanced agricultural technology, and so on. In addition, although European countries colonized Africa back then, due to the lack of medical development and the lack of antibiotics and vaccines, it was impossible to develop it at all. As a result, no major irrigation projects have been built in Africa. As a result, the problem of soil erosion is quite serious, and the ability to resist drought and flood disasters is almost none.

Secondly, there are also antibiotics and vaccines, and there are also antibiotics and vaccines. After independence, with the advancement of modern medicine and international aid to African medicine, the population of Africa exploded and reached a critical point. In particular, Africa is full of illiterate and semi-literate people, and education is quite backward, which makes it impossible to carry out industrialization at all. By the way, I will not comment on China's family planning policy, but eugenics and childbearing are absolutely important! In the rise of a great power, a low-quality population is a burden, and the more high-quality the population, the better!

Finally, the frenzied plundering of the economies of the African colonies by Europe and the United States, especially the grain dumping of Africa by the United States. Modern agriculture is not only a matter of throwing seeds, but also involves the four main industries of systematic breeding, agricultural products, agricultural machinery, and agrochemical industry, as well as dozens of secondary industries, which are inseparable from industry.

And in Africa, not to mention breeding, pesticides, fertilizers, ahem...... Don't mention that Kim Klaha. Even if hoes and plastic spray cans have to be imported, and there are no irrigation projects, we can see how high the cost of agriculture is? In addition, if we are fully open to cheap grain in the United States, we will lose one acre of land if we plant it, and the peasants have no motivation to farm at all. Therefore, as soon as there was a drought, Africa did not have the habit of storing food, and it immediately collapsed.

......

Of course, Yoruba did not explain in such detail, but after Jiang Wenyi and the others heard it, they still felt that this was a fantasy. This is what it feels like, so to speak, - Africans live in granaries and starve to death?

However, at this moment, the gunfire outside suddenly became extremely intense, and even violent explosions continued to occur. Jiang Wenyi immediately jumped up and listened to the voice: "No, machine guns, 37 guns, bazookas, grenades...... , there must be a situation. Get ready for battle!"

And Yoruba also realized that something was wrong, and his face turned pale. The others, armed with weapons, took up their combat posts. As for the riots or military coups that happened outside, Jiang Wenyi could not care about them. But since he lives in Huang Shifu's house, he has to protect the safety of his shop.

The streets were full of civilians running around, and after a while, they were empty. The firefight in the distance seemed to become more and more intense, and the smoke of the fire continued to spread. Thankfully, the neighborhood was calm, and only the sound of panting could be heard in the warehouse......

"Tick Bell ......"

Suddenly, the phone rang. With doubts, Jiang Wenyi picked up the telephone, and heard Huang Shifu's panicked voice inside: "Brother ghost, I'm in the Vic Hotel in the city, there are thugs outside, come and save me! Help me——!" In the microphone, I also heard the sound of violent gunfire.

"Why are you still in the city?" Jiang Wenyi said angrily, didn't he say that he would go to the field for several days? However, this is not the time to investigate the reason, Jiang Wenyi suppressed his anger and yelled into the phone, "Hide, I'll come over immediately!"

Throwing down the phone, Jiang Wenyi took out the map of the city in his arms, and dragged Yoruba to his side: "Where is the Vic Hotel? How should we get there?" is the same as Jing Jian's habit, every time he goes to a new place, Jiang Wenyi's first thing to do is to collect the local map.

"Here, this is it. There is a church next to it, which is very recognizable. Yoruba hurriedly pointed out the location on the map. After a moment's hesitation, he then persuaded, "Ghost life! The people living there are all foreigners, and no one dares to harass them at all." And the hotel also has security, there should be no danger. "As in many parts of Africa, no one dares to touch such a foreign-related hotel, even if there is a war between the two factions....... I am afraid that I will hurt the foreign guests inside and cause retaliation from the international community.

It can't be said that Yoruba's statement is unreasonable, but Jiang Wenyi has already heard gunshots on the phone. After thinking about it for a while, he gathered a few of the army to his side: "Let's all act and be righteous to the friends who have helped." From the map, the visual distance is about four kilometers. Remember the places where I drew circles, all of which are key points. Ah Xiao, you go and prepare the car, two cars can seat ten people. Others covered ...... on foot."

After briefly discussing the plan, Jiang Wenyi raised his head and found Yoruba who was shrinking in the corner: "Don't hide, you go with me." ”

"Me?" Yoruba shook his head in fright, "I still have to look at the store, the boss will explain it." ”

"What shop are you looking at?" Jiang Wenyi took Yoruba to his side, took out a pistol, and handed it to Yoruba for self-defense, "Follow me, make sure there is no danger, and you will be responsible for leading the way." It's useless for you to stay in the store alone, aren't you afraid that the thugs will burn down the store?"

Yoruba shuddered with fright, and it was very likely that such a situation would be possible. After all, in this neighborhood, this store has both money and goods, and must be the primary target of robbery.

......

Not long after, the two cars parked behind the shop had already started, and Jiang Wenyi and Yoruba got into the car in front of them and drove out. Everyone else poured out of the store in full gear......
