Originally, Chen Dahe thought that Liu Jianshe used special channels to send an urgent message for the mercenary group, after all, there are a lot of mercenary group members now, and they are divided into multiple lines to fight separately, and it is understandable that there are occasional problems, but he didn't expect it to be related to the Wuzhou Food Group.

Or more broadly, it has a relationship with the whole of Africa, and indeed with the whole world.

Generally speaking, there are only two things that can make Africa related to the world, one is war, and the other is food, and this thing falls on food.

Liu Jianshe wrote in the report that according to his observations, he speculated that a large-scale locust plague is very likely to break out in Africa this year, and if it is not handled properly, this locust plague is very likely to sweep across Africa and spread beyond the continent.

The locust plague, along with floods and droughts, is known as the three major disasters in nature, and Africa has just experienced a major drought that is rare in history for three or four years.

Regarding Liu Jianjian's speculation, Chen Dahe did not have many doubts.

First, there is indeed a high probability of locust plague breaking out after the great drought, and there is a record of locusts in the ancient books of our country, Africa has experienced several years of severe drought, and it is reasonable for locust plagues to occur now, and the vast majority of African countries have a weak agricultural foundation, and they simply have no ability to prevent this kind of natural disaster.

In the early years, there were also locust plagues in many places in China, and he experienced them when he was a child, so he was very familiar with locust larvae eggs.

Now that he is traveling around Africa, and he has a group of elite soldiers under him to gather intelligence, he only needs to find a slight sign of a locust infestation in a certain place, and it is easy to send people to investigate all of Africa, and most of the conclusions he has come up with are reliable.

Now that he has sent this information, it is naturally for the Wuzhou Grain Group.

Today, Wuzhou Grain Group has 60 grain bases in Africa, with a total planting area of nearly 300,000 square kilometers, in addition to 140,000 square kilometers of land in a state of abandonment.

However, no matter how large the area and how high the output is, in the face of a large-scale locust plague, it is nothing more than a matter of holding on for a few more days, and the locusts will not grow a single inch of grass when they cross the border, and most of the aquaculture industry will be finished, so once the locust plague takes shape, this year it will definitely be a matter of death.

You must know that for this company, Chen Dahe has invested more than 1.2 billion US dollars in cash alone, filling in all kinds of latest irrigation technologies, and spending countless manpower and material resources, otherwise how could he have cultivated so much fertile land in the arid land of Africa.

And last year's harvest grain was basically used to exchange land and mines, and the mines were sold to the Third Mining Company, and the money in exchange continued to buy land and recruit people to repair water conservancy, otherwise how could so much land come about!

God is pitiful, to this day he has not seen the money back, if the flood and drought can still be technically found, what about this locust plague?

Seeing the owner's sad face holding the documents, Guan San couldn't help frowning, and motioned to Ye Zhenggen to bring the little young master over in case of an accident, and then asked, "Big River, but what's wrong in Africa?"

Chen Dahe rubbed his eyebrows, took Ziyi in Ye Zhenggen's arms, hugged his son and said, "Something really happened, according to Liu Jianjian's speculation, African locust larvae are overflowing, and it is very likely that a locust plague will break out this year." ”

"Locust plague?" Guan San was taken aback, he was an old man from the old society, even if he lived in Beijin City all the year round, he was very familiar with this kind of natural disaster.

Nothing else, in the first half of this century, when the domestic warlords were fighting, no one cared about the lives of the people, once a natural disaster broke out, a large number of refugees poured into the city, and they couldn't stop it, he had seen that kind of miserable image several times, and it was estimated that he would never forget it in his life.

At that time, if there was a flood or drought, you could still harvest some food, but if you encountered a locust plague, you would have to wait for death if you didn't flee!

It is also now that the domestic conditions are better, and the locust plague is gradually controlled, although it still breaks out from time to time, but it is always controlled within a small area, and there is no major disaster.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but show the same expression as Chen Dahe, and sighed, "Africa's basic conditions are poor, and there has been a drought for three or four years. ”

Chen Dahe suddenly smiled bitterly when he heard this, he had never seen a locust plague, but he had seen a movie.

The 1942 film filmed by Feng Pants is about the fact that a locust plague broke out after the great drought in Henan, which caused millions of people to suffer.

And what is shown in the movie is less than one percent of reality.

In a bad mood, his son likes to move around, Chen Dahe suddenly lifted his butt and slapped him twice, Ye Zhenggen quickly grabbed it, and ran to his mother in the front yard.

Chen Dahe didn't bother to pay attention to him, and muttered to himself, "How to deal with and prevent the locust plague?"

After the study of domestic experts, generally speaking, the outbreak period of locust plague is concentrated in April to September, and Liu Jianjian's report mentioned that most of the young eggs are still in the growth period, and it is estimated that there will be about two months for the locust plague to take shape.

When Guan San heard his words, he thought for a while and said, "I seem to have seen in the news that there is a kind of chicken and duck herding in the Xinjiang Construction Corps, which specializes in locust control, and a chicken can eat seventy or eighty a day, and if it is a larvae, it can be more, I heard that the control effect is very good." ”

Chen Dahe blinked, herding chickens and ducks?

Is there any mistake? And this kind of thing?

Well, even if there really is, a chicken and duck can eat a hundred locusts a day, and the locust plague is hundreds of billions of locusts, how many chickens and ducks do you need to eat?

Millions? Or tens of millions?

Seeing Chen Dahe's expression, Guan San also felt unreliable, and couldn't help but smile, "I'll think about it again, think about it again." ”

As a result, Chen Dahe waved his hand, "Yes, let's not worry about it here, professional things will be done by professional people, I will send a telegram to Emma first, she has many agricultural experts there, so they will have a headache." ”

Do your best to obey the destiny of heaven, this kind of powerless thing Chen Dahe never entangled, the big deal is that this year's harvest will be lost.

Isn't it more than 10 million tons of grain, plus hundreds of thousands of tons of meat, according to the minimum of a dime and a catty, it is nothing more than that, well, calculate,

It seems to be, more than three billion ......?

Oh Mom, my heart hurts!!

It's not that I don't know, I'm shocked, can I make so much money growing food?!

The most important thing is not just the question of money, if the grain is really lost, how much money will he have to spend to stabilize the number of nearly one million mercenaries waiting to be fed!

As soon as I thought of this, my footsteps immediately became a little more anxious.
