Chapter 369 Indirect Influence
Chapter 369 Indirect Influence
The geopolitical situation on Blue Star has undergone tremendous changes due to the Civilization Trial.
Xiao Yizi was trapped in her own country by a pillar of light after all her contestants were eliminated. However, her country is small and relies heavily on imports for its resources.
Many countries in the vicinity were shrouded in the beam of light, making them inaccessible. This resulted in unprecedented damage to the resource import routes upon which the small nation depended for survival.
The United States did not abandon it; while stabilizing its domestic situation, it also sent five ocean-going ships to provide assistance.
However, how could the countries that had suffered so much from the small Yizi give up this opportunity? Especially the Camel Country.
On the fourth day of the qualifying rounds, the King of Camel Kingdom defied public opinion and personally traveled to China to sign an exclusive agreement.
Fortunately, he had the courage to make a decisive decision. Just after the agreement was signed, the last contestant from Camel Country was caught in a sandstorm and eliminated.
Having successfully secured a powerful ally, the Camel Kingdom's king, now as secure as a rock, decided to settle both old and new scores, directly seizing a cargo ship from the United States in the strait, with the intention that only one person could pass, but no ship.
The attendant grinned, revealing eight large white teeth: "Xiao Yizi's side is lacking in everything. Hahahaha!"
The king sneered repeatedly.
Back then, Xiao Yizi was like a non-human, arrogant and domineering, committing all sorts of crimes.
Now, let's see who Heaven will spare!
The number of countries eliminated has increased to more than 170. If you look at the blue planet from space, it looks like a ball of light in a ballroom, almost entirely composed of colorful spots of light.
The global maritime transport industry has nearly collapsed, but some marine life has benefited from this, becoming much more active than before.
The three major powers had already concluded through small-scale experiments that within the area covered by the beam of light, the population could not move freely, and the resources hidden underground could not be transported out.
However, existing industrial product inventory or light industrial products can be used to create light screens.
Gold in the national treasury can also be transported out.
Cross-border communications remain unaffected.
This has led to a highly distorted global market, turning it into a complete seller's market.
If a country with restricted entry and exit is a major agricultural country, the situation is slightly better. As long as the government takes strong measures and actively controls food prices, at least the people will not starve to death.
Many European countries haven't been so fortunate. For example, Germany, Italy, and China imported over 270 million tons of food and feed last month alone. Spain's grain imports reached a staggering €4.05 million in a single month.
These countries have only been under lockdown for a day or two, and they can hold on for now.
If the lockdown cannot be lifted after the qualifying rounds, they will be doomed even without the intervention of extraterrestrial civilizations!
In a conference room in China, the leaders looked at the statistical data and their brows furrowed deeply.
They put the documents aside, picked up their water glasses, and took a big gulp of tea to refresh themselves.
The tea was bitter, but it didn't diminish the bitterness in my heart.
"The Civilization Trial, with just one qualifying round, has turned our economic globalization into a joke. As human society has developed to this point, no country can remain unaffected."
Economists lamented, "We won on the field, but the economy suffered a huge blow."
"Many countries requested humanitarian assistance at the UN online meeting."
The expressions on everyone's faces in the conference room were not good. In the Civilization Trial Grounds, there were no real winners on Earth.
They haven't even officially visited Earth yet, and Earth is already in complete chaos.
In response, upholding the belief that "when one is successful, one should help others," China has decided to take on the grand strategy of supporting the world and do what it can within its capabilities.
The situation in our neighboring northern region is not much better. Their light industrial products are mainly imported, a large portion of which comes from China.
Since the qualifying rounds began, trade between the two sides has been almost at a standstill. Seeing that both sides are poised to advance smoothly through the qualifying rounds, the northern power wants to resume trade.
With the leadership's approval, the entire Chinese think tank sprang into action once again.
They need to track which countries import and export which goods, their prices, and quantities. The goal is to maximize profits without impacting China's resource reserves.
China's advantage lies in the fact that it is the only country in the world with a complete industrial system.
Even if China were to close its borders to the outside world again, it could still function normally thanks to its domestic resources, industrial system, and vast market. The only weakness might be the food supply.
China's total grain imports over the past ten months amounted to 11877 million tons, characterized by "large total volume and distinct structure." This does not mean that there is a shortage of domestic grain, but rather that the imports are intended to adjust the structure, enrich choices, and meet diverse needs.
With global trade virtually at a standstill and the looming threat lingering, China naturally cannot continue down this path.
Following an emergency meeting, the working group unanimously agreed to prioritize hybrid rice in the latest planting season.
Hybrid rice doesn't taste good and isn't a mainstream product in the market. However, its lodging resistance, disease resistance, and yield make it the first choice during special periods.
Data was compiled, meetings were held, and orders were issued.
Everyone is doing their best and contributing their strength.
This is an area that Lin Xiaohe is unfamiliar with.
She sat in her office, watching the busy crowd in the video, her eyes as deep as the sea.
She couldn't help but think of Kyushu Star, the Interstellar Federation, and those wars.
Did I worry about these trivial matters back then?
No.
Weasley and Melina handled logistical tasks such as resource statistics.
The citizens of Kyushu Star are diverse, but under her deterrent power, no one dares to spread their wings, and unlike Blue Star, the political relationships are not as complex.
The political landscape of the Federation is very complicated, but the Zerg's attack was too fast and too fierce, leaving them no time or opportunity to engage in internal strife.
Lin Xiaohe's eyelashes trembled slightly, feeling an indescribable emotion.
In her view, the crisis facing Blue Star was a very, very small crisis.
Its level of danger, and even the intensity of the war that broke out, did not rank among the interstellar wars that Lin Xiaohe had participated in.
However, when her perspective shifted from party leader and leader to the down-to-earth humans of Earth, she was surprised to find that, in their shoes, she couldn't have done any better than anyone else.
The rapidly rising skyscraper has finally found its foundation at this moment.
This is a growth process from top to bottom.
Lin Xiaohe carefully observed how the humans of Blue Star used their meager strength to gather into a sea, striving to fight against the visitors from beyond the star system.
This is a trial that every interstellar civilization must go through. Like butterflies emerging from their cocoons, they will either perish or be reborn amidst each crisis that threatens to destroy their civilization.
And this is precisely the experience that Lin Xiaohe, who transmigrated to the Federation, lacked.
The reborn Kyushu Star taught her this lesson.
Similarly, in the Civilization Trial Grounds, Lu Shimeng made her own choice.
She's going to take a gamble!
Her intuition told her that the better her performance, the greater the benefits China would gain from the qualifying rounds!
