Chapter 292 Three Million Seok of Rice Offerings (3)

Britain, which once ruled the seas to the point of being called an empire on which the sun never sets, was suffering from a bone-chilling economic cold because of the sea.

The weather in Europe was unusually warm compared to other winters, to the point where Russia’s pressure to shut off the gas pipes was embarrassing.

But Britain’s real economy was hit by a cold snap more severe than ever.

rI’m out in the English Channel now. Do you see that gigantic tidal wave that’s blocking the Channel from end to end?

“The tsunami is about 1 to 2 km wide. Strangely enough, it doesn’t go beyond the fixed width, but only makes loud waves within that width.”

“But there is no ship that can cross that short width of less than 2km. Look at that enormous height! What captain could cross that tsunami that is over 10 meters high!”

“The ports of the country have become ghost towns where not a single dog can be found. This is the current state of Britain, once called the empire on which the sun never sets! j

“Britain is isolated! I repeat! Britain is isolated!”

The sea route was completely blocked.

From small boats to massive aircraft carriers, no ship was able to cross the tidal band.

However, submarines were able to pass freely through the tsunami belt under the surface.

Today, shipping plays an absolute role in logistics fluidity.

For an island country surrounded by the sea on all sides, its importance goes without saying.

This is because the ability to transport a large quantity of goods at a low price is an essential priority in logistics.

But with that sea route blocked, what would have become of the British people’s livelihood?

“This is a large supermarket in London. It has been closed for over a month now. It is not closed because it is afraid of rioters. It is because it has no products to sell even if it wanted to.”

“Every supermarket in the UK has had its grocery and daily necessities section sold out for a long time, and we have received shocking news that a loaf of bread is being sold for 198 pounds (about 300,000 won).”

“Prices are rising sharply across Britain and people are suffering. But the real suffering is the cruel reality that even if you have money, you cannot buy food and basic necessities.”

“This is a grocery store that reopened today. People have been waiting in long lines since dawn. Perhaps the unusually warm weather this winter has helped a little with the overnight lines?”

“But when you look at the price tags, you start to rub your eyes and start to doubt. The price of a loaf of bread has gone up more than 90 times compared to before. Some food items have gone up more than 100 times.”

-Oh, I can’t help it. These are groceries that were airlifted from France. Do you know how much the air freight costs? And the exchange rate is also crashing right now, so the value of the pound has plummeted. Of course, they’re going to be expensive.

-We have little left either.

However, these are food items that were somehow delivered through a delivery route to the sky, with a sense of mission that we should not let our neighbors starve to death.

-I don’t know what the hell they’re doing at Westminster Palace. Shouldn’t they be asking for help from the US or the EU? If this continues, Britain will be destroyed by the end of this year!

-When will the sea route be opened? When will the tsunami belt disappear?

-Is it possible that the great British Empire should perish because of the sea? -God bless our Queen.

Tsunami has now become a normal part of our daily lives.

It doesn’t get bigger, it doesn’t get smaller, it always stays in the same place.

While the cause of the tsunami is still unknown, British citizens have taken it upon themselves to combat the natural disaster.

First, I decided to refrain from traveling abroad.

With airline ticket prices skyrocketing, overseas travel is now only available to a wealthy few.

There were some who left the UK with their entire fortune, and were given the disparaging nickname of ‘Brexiters’.

Foreigners who were considering studying abroad in the UK, going on long-term business trips, or being dispatched have cancelled all their plans.

Foreigners who had already entered Britain also devised various methods to escape the country as soon as possible.

Adapted to the murderous prices.

“Even during the war, prices weren’t like this.”

“Even if you have money, you can’t buy things. All the goods have disappeared.”

“In the past, you could buy 100 loaves of bread with the same amount of money, but now you can’t even buy one loaf of bread with the same amount of money.”

Elderly people were groaning, young couples were shocked by the price of flour that had become as expensive as gold, and restaurants were giving up and closing their doors.

-What’s going on? Wasn’t Britain originally a country with a high food self-sufficiency rate?

-Our country, the UK, is not short of wheat, so why are bread prices so high? Why are flour prices so crazy?

-Aren’t the crops that depend on imports things like vegetables, fruits, corn, and soybeans?

“In keeping with the era of high prices, gas prices are skyrocketing. Gas stations have stopped operating and are preparing to implement a rationing system in line with government policies.”

-Why is our oil-producing country, the British Empire, short on oil? We only have a few oil fields!

“Crude oil extracted from North Sea oil fields is blocked by the tidal current and cannot reach the British mainland, and the depletion of oil on the mainland is approaching by the minute. □

“Oil ranks first and second among the most difficult items to transport by air… … .”

-Let’s say there’s a shortage of oil. How do you explain the price of flour?

“As the use of heavy agricultural machinery such as tractors becomes more difficult, agricultural production this year is expected to reach a very desperate level… … .”

“The National Assembly has significantly lowered the priority of oil supply to farms. It is because it has decided that it is better to give priority to thermal power generation and industry, and to increase the proportion of air transport for grain and other food items.”

Modern agriculture cannot function without oil.

The British cabinet has effectively reduced the supply of oil to farmers to zero.

Since the amount of oil imported through air transport is so limited, it was decided that it would be better to use it in other sectors such as power generation.

It would take at least nine months for the oil given to farmers to be returned as food, and during those nine months, thermal power plants and industrial areas could not be left idle.

The old farmers rose up in indignation.

“The Prime Minister is completely misjudging right now!”

“You are not giving us oil because you cannot afford to wait until the harvest? And you are able to afford the terrible harvest that will come this harvest season?”

“Are you saying that you will sit back and watch a large-scale famine at the end of the year just to squeeze out the oil right now?”

Industrial workers also rose up and staged a counter-demonstration in response to the farmers’ protest.

“The factory is on the verge of shutting down due to a power shortage right now!”

“Farming? Don’t you have to wait at least half a year to see the results? But in the factory area, there are a lot of machines that are stopped right now!”

“No one knows whether the tsunami will disappear in a few months or not! Of course, shouldn’t we solve the most urgent problem of electricity first?”

The protests by farmers and workers were essentially a fight over scarce oil.

Protests continued daily on the streets of London, with police out in force to prevent clashes between protesters from both sides.

Unfortunately, the fuel consumed by vehicles during this process has not received much attention.

-What kind of foolish thing is this, wasting energy on such a large-scale demonstration when even a drop of oil or a piece of bread to cheer you up is a waste!

-If you have energy to spend on protests, save it and spend it planting potatoes instead! You idiots!

It’s not that it wasn’t, but in London, an unexpected potato craze has begun.

Citizens who had gardens pulled out all the flowers and planted potatoes instead.

Apartment dwellers threw away their potted ornamental flowers and planted potatoes instead.

On the roof of the house, one could easily see potato sprouts growing in a garden created by pouring soil.

Although it was January, it was an unusually warm winter, and the potato sprouts were growing well.

“The climate change is helping us in the UK, at least for now.”

“If the winter hadn’t been this warm, we might have all frozen to death and starved to death. It’s really fortunate that we don’t have to worry about heating.”

“But is it really true that we are lucky? If the tsunami was caused by abnormal weather, isn’t that like giving a disease and a cure?”

“England is cursed. They cursed the North Atlantic because they abstained from voting on the permanent seats of Middle Korea and South Korea!”

“Stop talking nonsense. What kind of curse or blessing is there in a world where a manned base is built on Mars and people come and go?”

“You idiot! A highly developed curse is indistinguishable from science! Cheongdam-dong flew to Mars in a month or two. This is a neighborhood teeming with monsters! They must have created that tidal wave belt with some incredible science and technology that we can’t even imagine!”

“Oh my, it’s strangely persuasive!”

“Throwing away rice and all that stuff like the due date system was just a distraction to fool us! That tidal wave was created in Cheongdam-dong! If we don’t appease Cheongdam-dong’s anger, we’ll be trapped on this small island and slowly starve to death! Or we’ll go back to the Stone Age!”

The tsunami was an artificial disaster secretly caused by Cheongdam-dong’s highly developed technology.

Or did Cheongdam-dong simply perform a performance knowing that a tsunami would occur?

The world’s questions were divided into two.

No other opinion has gained any traction in the international community. Inevitably, one of the two will come to an end.

However, the swimming group maintained its stance of not knowing anything about any external inquiries.

“A curse? A natural control technology that keeps the tsunami at bay? Either way, it’s nonsense.”

“Our swimming group deeply regrets the current situation in the UK and would like to assure you that we are able to supply the necessary supplies without restrictions at reasonable prices.”

Much of the vast quantities of wheat currently imported into Britain by air comes from Su Young farms.

The British government did its best to keep the British public unaware of the fact by thoroughly whitewashing the flour import routes in several layers.

? ? ?

England Airlift.

The operation was named after the Berlin Airlift, which was carried out in the aftermath of World War II and was used to counter the Berlin Blockade during the conflict with the Soviet Union.

The key is to transport supplies by air to Britain, where civilian transport alone is insufficient.

“The first priority is food, diesel fuel, and medicine. Everything else is a secondary priority. The United States of America will work to supply these three items as a priority.”

The costs of airborne operations were calculated strictly according to commercial capitalism.

London is not the blockaded Berlin of the postwar period, and today’s America does not aspire to be the arsenal of democracy. Nor was Britain able and able to pay for the services.

“All food supplied to the English Airborne Operations will be made from Suyeong Farm’s Shindu. Shindu contains far more nutrients per volume and weight, and is a complete food that provides a perfect balance of health.”

The super-jumbo A380 aircraft, which had been declared discontinued due to changes in the times, have been given new life.

The A380 aircrafts gathered at Incheon Airport and Gimpo Airport took off powerfully toward the distant UK, fully loaded with new products in every corner.

“Our swimming group has set the delivery price at an extremely conscientious level in order to provide a helping hand to the UK’s crisis.”

The price of the shoes supplied to the UK is set at a very reasonable price, 19 times the retail price in Korea.
