Chapter 1370 Water-saving Agriculture

"I don't know where this Benito came from. He looks inconspicuous at first glance, but after a closer look, his so-called Italian combat team has more than 10,000 members, and they are of a political party nature."

In the corner of the Pichel Beer Hall, East African agent Lorant said to his colleague Xie Fuzhi.

Xie Fuzhi took a sip of beer, glanced at where Benito was speaking, and then said: "This Benito's father is a senior member of the Italian Old Labor Party, and he was also a member of the Labor Party before."

"However, in terms of Benito's personal experience, he is more like a scoundrel. He has been like this since school days. He likes to talk big and be the boss. He is also first-class in eloquence and has many ideas. Not only does he dare to speak, but he is also very active. Otherwise, it would be impossible to pull up such a large team."

"In addition, this person advocates centralization and expansion in his thoughts. If the Italian combat group continues to develop, it is very likely to become a political force that cannot be ignored in Italy. You must know that this so-called Italian combat group has been established for less than two years."

Lorant frowned After listening to Benito's intelligence with a frown, he said: "It sounds like a big shot, but I don't think his personality and work style are unsustainable, that is, he has not conflicted with the current Italian government, otherwise he would have been finished long ago."

Regarding Lorant's evaluation, Xie Fuzhi said: "I think so too. From his speech, we can see that he is not like a traditional politician, but more like an opera singer, with a loud voice and exaggerated movements, but precisely because of this, he is very inflammatory and can mobilize people's emotions."

Lorant said: "In this case, we don't need to pay too much attention to this kind of person."

It was a coincidence that the East African intelligence department's personnel in Turin paid attention to Benito.

In Italy, the intelligence organization in Turin is mainly to grasp the government intelligence information of the Kingdom of Italy and observe the activities of the Italian Labor Party in the local area.

And because of Benito's former identity as a member of the Labor Party and his family background, the Turin intelligence department believes that he may be related to the Italian Labor Party.

However, through a period of observation and intelligence collection, this Benito is obviously not in the same pot with the Italian Labor Party.

Even the organization he founded has nothing to do with the Italian Labor Party.

Why did the East African intelligence agency suspect that his Italian combat team was involved with the Labor Party? This is related to the complex situation of the Labor Party organization in Europe.

There are many European Labor Parties, and even Labor Parties in various countries, that have parted ways or set up their own organizations due to different political lines. However, these split or newly established organizations are still Labor Parties in essence, but their lines are not unified.

This is not surprising. Take the successful Russian Labor Party as an example. Its leader Vladimir has a different line dispute with the previous European Labor Party.

Vladimir advocates seizing state power through violent means to establish a Labor Party regime state, and his line has been proven successful.

Therefore, Benito, who left the Labor Party organization and worked alone, attracted the attention of the East African intelligence organization. After all, before contact, who knew whether Benito left to establish a new Labor Party organization because of disagreements with the original Italian Labor Party.

However, the result is "good". This Benito is not a member of the Labor Party at all.

Otherwise, organizations like his that engage in political activities in places like Turin would have long been targeted by the Italian Kingdom Government.

…

Rhine City.

Late 1920.

European influenza broke out in East Africa and reached its peak. The best proof of this is that Rhine City, which has implemented a strict blockade, has also seen a large number of cases, which has made the already pessimistic economy in East Africa this year even worse.

"Throughout 1920, the number of infected people in the country has been unable to be counted, but the good news is that the lethality of the virus has been greatly weakened. At present, the number of deaths caused by European influenza in our country is only more than 280,000."

"More than 100,000 of them were caused by European influenza in the middle of this year. After July, the mortality rate of European influenza has been greatly reduced."

"At present, the cumulative number of infected people in the country may exceed 30 million, but for the total population of the empire, the infection rate is much lower than that of European countries."

The total population of East Africa is more than 160 million, and 30 million is equivalent to about 20% of the national population, and there are also unlucky people who are repeatedly infected.

This means that the current mortality rate of the epidemic in East Africa is even less than 0.02%, which is mainly due to the relatively strict isolation policy and the abundant "ammunition" of the East African government.

The "ammunition" here mainly refers to medical supplies, especially some special medicines that greatly reduce the risk of death of infected people.

The specific efficacy of these special medicines is unknown, but it is indeed possible that they have improved the resistance of the East African people. The reason for this is that many of these special medicines are East African Chinese patent medicines.

"And this time, the European flu has caused the most serious losses in India and the Far East Empire, which are densely populated countries with low medical and health levels."

"The epidemic situation in such countries is completely impossible to estimate, but it can be seen with the naked eye that the situation is very bad. This year, the immigration applications of the Far East Empire have increased as a result."

The European flu has caused the most serious damage to those backward countries and regions. As the power of the European flu has weakened, industrial countries like East Africa at least have sufficient supplies to fight the epidemic.

Many backward countries and regions must not only confront European influenza, but also endure various problems such as famine, malnutrition, bad sanitary environment, various natural disasters, and even war.

For example, the Far East Empire, although the situation of European influenza is very serious, the impact of its warlords does not have a greater domestic warlord melee.

Today, Eastern Africa looks at the Far East Empire, and even like the Yuan East Empire of the previous life, it is basically "nothing happens" in the past life of Africa countries, or compared with other disasters, the epidemic is not a big event.

"The number of casualties in other countries such as European and American powers is generally about hundreds of thousands. The situation in Russia is unknown. Except for Russia, the largest number of deaths is the United States. Last month, the number of deaths announced by the United States was about 600,000. "

The water of this data is very large. According to East Africa's estimation, the number of deaths in the United States should be more than one million, but this is also normal. Epidemic prevention departments will conceal it when statistics.

For example, East Africa's so -called 380,000 deaths should be more real data than this, but the error is not much. Even if it doubles, it is not as the number of deaths announced by the United States. However, East Africa's population is much larger than European and American countries.

It is Russia with the fourth population world, and the population is tens of millions less than East Africa.

The country with the least European influenza in the powers of the powers is France. The number of deaths in France is about 200,000.

If it wasn't for Klemenguan's pressure to introduce the world's strictest epidemic control policy, it would definitely be another heavy blow to France.

In contrast, the British epidemic can be said to be the worst of the powers. The number of deaths exceeds 500,000, second only to the United States, but the British population is only the lower half of the United States.

After listening to the data of the Ministry of Health, Ernst said: "I hope that this plague can end completely next year, but now we can no longer continue to consume with plague. Officially began to advance ""

"In view of the situation of the epidemic situation this year and next year, the projects in the agricultural field are first opened, and it will be determined in the industry and service industry projects in the middle of next year based on the development of the epidemic."

Agriculture is the least affected by the epidemic. After all, the population distribution in rural areas is relatively uniform, and production activities are relatively fixed. Unlike the population of urban population, the population flow is very frequent.

Therefore, in 1921, the fifth five -year plan of the East African government opened the foundation for the first time with agriculture.

This is significantly different from the five -year plan of East Africa before. The five -year plan of East Africa before can actually be described as the five -year industrial plan, and the development of industry is the foundation.

The fifth five -year plan not only formulated the third industry as the focus of development for the first time. At the same time, due to the special reasons for the epidemic, the first to end was agriculture.

In the five -five plan, the focus of agriculture is reflected in two directions, one is comprehensive land remediation, and the other is water -saving agriculture.

Then it was the agricultural department's turn to report to Erst.

"His Majesty, according to the actual situation of the agricultural development of East Africa today, our Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Water Resources, Ministry of Land and Resources, etc., through joint investigation and research, believes that during the fifth and five -year planning period, the development of the agricultural field should be further intensive towards intensiveization. Promote direction "

"In 1920, the country's arable land area reached 27 billion acres. The area of ​​grain planting ranked second in the world, and the area of ​​economic crop planting ranked first in the world."

"The total output value of the empire ranks first in the world, far exceeding the other countries in the world."

There is no mistake, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one 619, one book, one, one, one, one, one, one, a book!

"After more than 20 years of development, my country's agricultural mechanization has increased significantly. The number of agricultural tractors in the country alone has reached more than 800,000 units. In addition, the number of other grains or crop planting and harvesters has also increased significantly."

"The yield of pesticides and fertilizers has also increased significantly, which further improves the agricultural output of the empire, mechanization and pesticide chemical fertilizer, which makes my country's food output exceed the United States and become the world's first ..."

That is to say, East Africa used the world's second grain planting area to plant more grain than the United States.

In the case of the continued world agricultural crisis, East Africa can achieve such remarkable results, but it is actually unrelated to East Africa's national conditions.

Because it is clear that because of the differences in population, East Africa has 60 million more mouths than the United States, so East Africa must have worked hard on agriculture, especially grain crops.

In addition, East Africa's agricultural mechanization has reached the world's first level. At the same time, the main grain crops in East Africa are mainly rice, while the United States is mainly wheat.

Obviously, the output of rice is generally higher than wheat. In addition to East Africa, as a tropical country, most of the land is cooked a year a year. In fact, East Africa's grain crops basically achieve two years of cooked five years.

In this case, East Africa's grain output is inevitable than the United States. The two parties are equivalent to the area of ​​cultivated land, and the climate of East Africa is actually good, at least the light and heat conditions are better than the United States.

The significant disadvantages of East Africa and the United States on the natural conditions of agriculture can also be summarized as two points, that is, soil and water.

Next, the agricultural department also mentioned these two points.

"my country has achieved great achievements in the agricultural field, but the problems in agricultural development are also more prominent."

"First of all, the restrictions on water resources make the potential of our country's agriculture from being fully exerted. my country is essentially a country with relatively lack of water resources."

Although Africa is a relatively dry continent, from the perspective of paper data, East Africa's total water resources and per capita water resources are not low.

Not to mention that there is the world's second largest tropical rain forest in East Africa, and the total amount of water resources of a Lake Solun (Tanani Nika) alone is close to 19 trillion cubic cubic meters, second only to Lake Baikal and the five major lakes in the United States. Essence

In this lake alone, the total amount of water resources in East Africa is more than most countries in the world. For example, the Far East Empire is only more than 20 trillion cubic cubic meters of water.

Not to mention that Lake Sauron (Lake Tamney) is that the Great Lake (Lake Victoria) is enough to compare with the national water resources of the Far East East.

However, it is clear that this kind of data is very different from the actual situation. At least in terms of East Africa, its available water resources are actually not as good as the Far East Empire.

The world's top -ranking super lakes such as Dahu, Lake Solun, Lake Malawi, etc. can only benefit surrounding areas, and cannot benefit from East Africa throughout the country.

The Ministry of Agriculture pointed out: "my country has abundant freshwater resources, but the distribution is extremely uneven, and it involves most agricultural production areas in my country, regardless of rivers, lakes, or precipitation."

"In the past, although my country has built a number of water conservancy facilities, these water conservancy facilities are also subject to the reasons such as scale, technology, and natural conditions. It cannot completely solve the problem of agricultural water tensions in some areas in my country."

"Especially the south of our country is the most serious. In the south of the Zambi River, competition for industrial and agricultural water competition is sharp and fierce. There are similar problems in other places. Where.

"This makes the water resources in a large amount of high -quality grain production areas, but the more nervous the water resources are."

The high -quality grain production areas referred to the Ministry of Agriculture here are mainly in terms of output and quality. East Africa's high -quality land distribution can be said to be distributed around the Rainforest of the Congo. At the same time, soil and alkali degrees are more balanced.

For example, in the west of Dahu District of East Africa, because of the acidity of the soil, the choice of rice in grain crops is more suitable, and the acid and alkali of the soil are related to the precipitation.

For example, the Far East Empire, the areas of acidic soil distribution, that is, the south, there are many rainwater, while the northern alkaline soil distribution area has less precipitation.

East Africa's soil distribution is relatively similar. The closer to the Rainforest of the Congo, the more acidic the soil is, but it is not suitable for grain crop production.

The Dahu District can become East African rice planting base because rice can adapt to acidic soil.

The use of neutral soil fertilizer is the highest. The neutral soil distribution of East Africa is mainly in the south and other areas, and it is mainly located in the tropical grassland climate area. The overall precipitation of the tropical grassland climate is too small.

The Ministry of Agriculture mentioned: "Although we have built a large amount of water conservancy facilities, which has greatly improved the efficiency of water resource utilization, in terms of specific circumstances, my country's agriculture's use of freshwater resources still shows rough characteristics."

"In my country, the precipitation was originally unstable. In the period of climate abnormalities, even if water conservancy facilities such as reservoirs were used, it may not be possible to solve the problem."

"Therefore, it is necessary to promote water -saving agriculture in areas where water resources are seriously insufficient or relatively complex and varied, and water -saving agriculture can ensure that in the case of emergencies, my country's agriculture can already operate normally and stable."
