When Li Tingxuan entered, Xing Yuanzhao was smoking, smoking one after another. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Führer."

"You go out first." Xing Yuanzhao waved his hand at the secretary and invited Li Tingxuan to sit down, "How is it, Liu Wei, are they okay in the United States?" ”

"There was no danger, but the investigation did not make much progress."

"Liu Xiuhui's situation?"

"It has stabilized and is preparing for intensive treatment."

Xing Yuanzhao nodded, picked up the document on the table, and handed it to Li Tingxuan. "This was sent yesterday, take a closer look."

Li Tingxuan took the document and immediately frowned when he saw the words on the cover representing the level of secrecy.

This is a "top secret" document, which only policy-making leaders have the right to read, and Li Tingxuan is obviously not among them.

Only one thing is mentioned in the document: genetically modified crops.

"When investigating Xiong Hanwen, MSS found out about this matter." Xing Yuanzhao lit another cigarette and said, "The specific situation is in the document, you can take a closer look, I will only talk about it roughly." Three officials were implicated, one who died in a car accident last year, one who disappeared after Xiong Hanwen defected, and one who was imprisoned for taking bribes earlier this year. It was the official who gave the account. ”

Li Tingxuan listened while flipping through the documents.

The food issue has always been a strategic issue for the mainland, because after all, the issue of feeding the 1.4 billion people is by no means a trivial matter and has a bearing on the stability of the country and society.

Although the mainland is basically self-sufficient in grain production in terms of arable land, with economic development and the improvement of the people's living standards, the demand for grain is increasing. Unlike other commodities, a shortfall of even 5 percent can trigger a food shortage, causing food prices to skyrocket.

To this end, scientific research institutions on the mainland have been cultivating high-yielding crops.

Eight years ago, genetically modified crops first entered the mainland and quickly won the market with huge yields. It was only in the early days that the main genetically modified crops introduced were cotton and flax. It was not until five years ago that non-staple crops such as soybeans, rapeseed and potatoes were introduced.

Three years ago, the Ministry of Agriculture proposed for the first time to introduce and promote genetically modified rice and wheat.

This incident has caused widespread controversy in society, and even more than 50 academicians have jointly signed a letter demanding a ban on the introduction of genetically modified staple foods.

The reason is simple: genetically modified foods can be seriously harmful.

This argument is supported by scientific research, and British scientists have long proven that mice that have been eating genetically modified food for a long time have a sharp decrease in fertility after three generations, and almost lose their fertility by the fifth generation!

Other problems have also been exposed on the mainland.

For example, the yield of genetically modified cotton was relatively stable in the first three generations, but then began to decline, and by the fifth generation, it was lower than that of ordinary cotton. As a result, cotton production in the northwest, where genetically modified cotton is promoted, fell by 30 percent after five years, causing cotton prices to skyrocket.

Amid strong opposition, the Ministry of Agriculture issued market access certificates for genetically modified rice and wheat a year later.

It is Monsanto, an American company, that sells genetically modified rice and wheat seeds on the mainland, which is vigorously promoting genetically modified crops!

In the aftermath, all three officials in charge of the matter at the time were investigated.

One was imprisoned for accepting 15 million bribes from Monsanto.

This was the end of the matter, and after the intervention of the state, the cultivation of genetically modified rice and wheat was effectively controlled.

It wasn't until Xiong Hanwen defected and tracked him down that the real culprit behind the scenes was revealed.

It was not the three officials who served Monsanto, but Xiong Hanwen. According to the prison officials, it was Xiong Hanwen who designed to frame them and seize their handles, so they had to issue permits. What's more, it was Xiong Hanwen who matched them with Monsanto.

Xiong Hanwen was very secretive and threatened his family, so the imprisoned officials did not confess honestly at first.

It wasn't until MSS investigators approached him, let him know that Xiong had defected, and offered to cooperate with the investigation to reduce his sentence.

"Xiong Hanwen had an affair with Monsanto?"

"That's the question I'm going to ask you." Xing Yuanzhao smiled bitterly and said, "Now it has been determined that Xiong Hanwen has been serving the CIA. Even if he had an affair with Monsanto, it was related to the CIA. ”

Li Tingxuan nodded thoughtfully and said, "If this is the case, this matter is not so simple. ”

"You'll have to find out."

Li Tingxuan glanced at Xing Yuanzhao, he would definitely investigate, and he would definitely find out.

"I called the Ministry of Agriculture, you go and get the samples of the genetically modified crops."

"I know how to do it." Li Tingxuan immediately nodded, indicating that he understood what Xing Yuanzhao meant.

"I have suppressed this matter, no one else knows about it for the time being, and the MSS personnel involved in the investigation have also been transferred to remote areas." Xing Yuanzhao let out a long breath and said, "We must be prepared with both hands. If the seeds are okay, there is no need to think about retaliating against the United States. If the result is the opposite, there is no way to rest on your laurels. ”

"Führer ......"

"It's my personal decision, there was no discussion and there will be no discussion."

Li Tingxuan frowned.

"As you can see, when you take it to a decision-making meeting and discuss it, it doesn't get much better." Xing Yuanzhao smiled bitterly and said, "We can tolerate other things, but we must not tolerate this kind of extermination." Although I don't know much about genetically modified organisms, I have heard that Israeli scientists have been developing genetic weapons specifically for Arabs and Persians for more than a decade. You're an intelligence officer, and you're a technologist, and you know better than I know how much of a threat there is and what it will look like in 50 or 100 years if you let this food into people's homes. I do not advocate taking a hard line, because we need a peaceful and stable external environment, because we need more time for development, because we do not believe that only force can obtain the required living space, but I will not be weak, let alone bow down like an enemy who is trying to destroy us! ”

Li Tingxuan sighed, he was not so idealistic, but more realistic.

"Minister Li, is it difficult?"

"Führer, I think it's better to be cautious in this matter, at least to find out if there is anything wrong with those seeds first."

Xing Yuanzhao nodded and said, "You go and deal with it immediately, I'll give you three days." ”

Li Tingxuan didn't ramble anymore, and hurriedly got up to say goodbye.

Three days was not too short, but it was not enough for him to waste at will.

On the way to the Ministry of Agriculture, Li Tingxuan called Situ Wenhui and asked her to stay in Zurich. Fortunately, Situ Wenhui didn't board the plane, otherwise he would have to take another ten hours on the plane.

Twelve hours later, Li Tingxuan, disguised as a businessman, arrived in Zurich and rushed to the "Maiden's Manor" with Situ Wenhui.

The name was chosen by Yuan Changqing because the estate was closest to Jungfraujoch.

After handing over the seed samples to Yuan Changqing, Li Tingxuan went to see Liu Xiuhui lying in the nutrient solution.

The transformation has not yet begun, and now it is helping him reconstruct the organs and tissues that have been severely eroded by cancer cells, and then he has to remove the radioactive material from his body, and finally the FOS transformation. During this time, all organs and tissues except the brain must be reconstructed to completely eliminate the cancer cells.

In Yuan Changqing's words, fortunately, the brain cells were not cancerous, otherwise Shang Yanjing would not have been able to save him.

After waiting for four hours, Li Tingxuan got the analysis results.

It's just that Li Tingxuan can't understand those analysis reports, let alone Xing Yuanzhao.

"Where did you get these seeds?"

"It's not important."

"Not important?" Yuan Changqing smiled and said, "It has something to do with that incident three years ago, right?" ”

Li Tingxuan was stunned for a moment and looked at Yuan Changqing.

"I also signed the joint letter, and I put forward a lot of the scientific arguments. At that time, I felt that Monsanto had bad intentions in promoting genetically modified staple foods in my country. What is the origin of this company, you can find out when you look it up. The first promotion of improved bananas to Brazil led to the collapse of all banana plantations in Brazil five years later. Later, improved wheat was promoted in Argentina, costing Argentine farmers tens of billions of dollars. Yuan Changqing smiled and shook his head, "It's a pity that few of those guys in power listened to our words. ”

"Old Yuan, this is not a topic we should discuss."

"yes, I'm out anyway, aren't I?" Yuan Changqing handed a text report to Li Tingxuan, "Take it, even elementary school students can understand this thing." ”

"You wrote that?"

"Of course, if you are at that level, you can understand this."

Li Tingxuan smiled and said, "Lao Liu's matter, you have to pay more attention." The problem of money, Liu Wei has solved it, and I will turn it around as soon as possible. ”

"Where's Beard?"

"It's still in the United States, but I've already arranged it, and it won't be long before you can catch up with him."

"Catch up with him?" Yuan Changqing shook his head with a smile and said, "That person of his, he values scientific research more than anything else, and even cares about his wife, who else can he take care of?" ”

"Then you'll have to keep an eye on him."

Yuan Changqing nodded and didn't say anything.

Li Tingxuan didn't delay any longer, Situ Wenhui had already booked a ticket for him to return to China.

Back in China, Li Tingxuan asked Situ Wenhui to report back to the ministry, and he rushed straight to the head of state's mansion to report the situation to Xing Yuanzhao.

Xing Yuanzhao's reaction, Li Tingxuan had already expected it.

Yuan Changqing made it very clear in the report that these seeds contain an incognito gene, and after eating, it will definitely have an impact on the genes of the eater. Because it is an incognito gene, the first three generations will not be affected. If it is well controlled, such as strictly prohibiting consanguineous marriages, it will not have a serious impact for five to eight generations. It's just that with the widespread spread of the incognito gene among the population, fertility will inevitably be greatly reduced, or even completely lost.

What's more, the genetic defects targeted by this incognito gene are only found in Han Chinese.

What is this?

An out-and-out act of war, and an act of war against the entire Chinese nation!

Don't say that Xing Yuanzhao will not give up, and no descendant of Yan and Huang will give up.

Li Tingxuan knew that action must be taken, forceful action!
