Chapter 656: The Age of War

When Luo Qing came in, Wang Dong was still standing by the window in a daze.

Inside the harbor, a huge ULCC is approaching the dock.

Unsurprisingly, the tanker would stay in port for a few days, unload hundreds of thousands of tons of crude oil, and then head to Africa or the Middle East again.

Because there is a direct oil pipeline to Huaxia, and the annual transportation capacity exceeds 50 million tons, and when the second phase of the project is completed, it will reach 100 million tons, so almost every day there is a ULCC to send black is crude oil to Huaxia.

"What are you thinking?"

Wang Dong was slightly stunned, only then did he realize that Luo Qing had come behind him.

Another effect of the Fourth Indo-Pakistani War was the entry of Angu into the field of formal security, that is, the provision of security services to private individuals and businesses.

To this end, Wang Dong asked Zhao Huang and Tiehu to set up a security company last year.

What to do?

Specializing in providing security services for Chinese enterprises operating overseas.

Of course, it's basically a small business.

For example, a few security guards were sent to a country in Africa to protect a factory or mine run by a Chinese company.

In contrast, there are a lot of troubles, and the upfront investment is also very large.

There's no way, this is a task arranged from above, and Yunlong can't push it off.

Perhaps, there were a few security personnel arranged by Iron Tiger on board that ULCC.

In fact, this is also the current situation in today's world.

What is the current situation?

It's not peaceful everywhere.

In the last year alone, there have been military coups in six African countries, three wars and millions of war refugees.

According to the United Nations, the war in Cameroon alone has left tens of millions of people homeless.

In this regard, European countries have long been full of complaints.

Why?

There are wars everywhere, there are refugees everywhere, and the first destination for refugees is Europe, especially the more economically developed countries of Western Europe.

Last year, France alone accepted 500,000 refugees.

Of course, the vast majority of them are illegal immigrants.

Why are there so many wars?

Economic imbalances.

Three years ago, the Fourth Indo-Pakistani War directly pushed up international food prices and triggered a food crisis in almost the entire southern African region.

Although food prices have been gradually falling since last year and returning to normal by the end of the year, the war caused by the food crisis has spread to dozens of countries and fundamentally changed the global economic landscape, making poor countries poorer.

Why?

Food has become a strategic resource.

When food prices are high, grain-producing countries such as the United States and Australia are increasing production, and when food prices are lowered, they start to reduce production.

In addition, the Fourth Indo-Pakistani War made almost all countries realize the importance of food.

As a result, grain-producing countries are limiting production, and food-importing countries like China are trying to increase their self-sufficiency in food.

This is an absolute disaster for many poor countries.

Actually, this is just the beginning.

Why?

The Indian bomb has not yet been detonated.

You know, India's population has surpassed that of China, and it is still growing at a rate of 100 million people every five years, and it will not be long before it exceeds 2 billion.

What is this concept?

Although India has fertile Gangetic plains, no one believes that India can be self-sufficient in food.

Why?

Modern agriculture can achieve high yields, in fact, it is based on industry, relying on a variety of fertilizers produced by factories.

Can agriculture achieve high yields without fertilizers?

With traditional farming, India can feed up to 1 billion people, and just to feed them.

Before the outbreak of the Fourth Indo-Pakistani War, Indians consumed less than 270 kilograms of food per year, which was below the poverty line set by the United Nations.

What now?

Although there are no exact statistics, there is enough reason to believe that it is definitely lower.

Why?

India is already in a mess, and how can it afford to produce more food.

According to estimates by international agencies, India's per capita annual food intake has fallen to less than 240 kilograms, perhaps less than 220 kilograms.

What is this concept?

If evenly distributed, all Indians will go hungry.

Obviously, it is certainly not possible to distribute it evenly.

This means that the vast majority of Indians are hungry, while a very small number of Indians are able to live a life of abundance, even luxury.

India is not a threat now, but what about in the future?

In three years, there have been several changes in the Indian government.

Perhaps it won't be long before another coup d'état breaks out in India.

If a strong government of 1.6 billion Indians were to come together and start looking for more food, it would be a global catastrophe.

You know, even if you take out the rich food of all countries, it may not be able to satisfy the appetite of Indians.

It is on the basis of this judgment that no international agency is optimistic about the future, and almost all of them believe that there should be a greater focus on food.

In addition, food-induced wars are bound to become commonplace.

In turmoil, who can live a good life?

Obviously, it is a person like Wang Dong.

In this regard, Wang Dong was not happy at all.

It's not that I'm afraid to take risks, it's that the risks are just too great.

At the last meeting, Yunlong mentioned that according to the current situation, we must strengthen investment in the field of security and expand the security team.

In addition, it is necessary to prepare for the next war.

War?

Yunlong is not wrong, it is war.

There is nothing to say about the war in Africa, it is not Wang Dong's dish, and Wang Dong has no plans to go to Africa to make money, after all, the benefits that can be obtained are too few.

In Wang Dong's view, the real need to pay attention to the Middle East is still the Middle East.

Syria has been completely destroyed, and the risk of a fifth Middle East war is growing after the United States takes the initiative to provoke trouble.

There is also the contradiction between Saudi Arabia and Iran.

It can be said that the Middle East is a powder keg, and a single spark can detonate it.

In addition, there is Southeast Asia.

The most striking thing at the moment is the tension between Singapore and Malaysia, which threatens to cut off fresh water supplies, while Singapore prepares for a move.

There is also Venezuela in South America, and Ukraine in Eastern Europe.

In Yunlong's words, it felt like he had returned to the Cold War period, although he had not experienced the Cold War because he was only a few years old when the Cold War ended.

There are so many hot spots, so many threats, in Yunlong's view, all of them are opportunities.

What chances?

An opportunity for D&F and Angu to grow and develop.

Wang Dong was a little speechless, but he couldn't refute it.

If an arms company and a mercenary army want to develop and grow, it depends on war and war.

If the world is too peaceful, Wang Dong and the others will be unemployed.
