Franchise God Episode 1635

349. Divorce is a mess (4)

The US has somehow managed to pull itself together in most areas, including the economy. It has shown off its power as the world’s most powerful country, playing alone on Earth using resource cheats.

But there was one thing I couldn’t come to my senses about: food.

The once-honored reputation of being the world’s leading agricultural nation has disappeared like a silhouette.

“The perpetrator of the New Jersey shooting that shocked the nation is a 16-year-old student named Eden Kamiel.”

“Eden Kamiel, who had been consistently angry about insect meat being served in school lunches, eventually stormed into the school cafeteria with an automatic rifle and 300 rounds of ammunition and opened fire indiscriminately, killing dozens of people.”

“When Eden Kamiel ran out of bullets, he completely threw away his gun, took off his shirt, and surrendered to the FBI with both hands raised. This gentle surrender is making American society even more angry. After taking so many lives, he himself did not want to die, so he threw away his weapon, took off his shirt, and surrendered.”

In the movie Model Citizen, there is a scene where the main character, who is visited by the FBI for revenge killings, is arrested naked beforehand.

This is to show that there are no weapons hidden on the naked body, so as to avoid any chance of being killed.

The fact that Eden Kamiel took off his shirt and surrendered seemed to be the reason for this, which made the American people even more angry.

“Shoot Eden Camiel!”

“Lord, show Eden Camiel your severe judgment!”

The Eden Kamiel shooting has been the subject of gossip in the United States.

Whenever people gathered together, they talked about Eden Kamiel.

It wasn’t just because of the shocking shooting incident.

Because insect meat has already become an inescapable daily necessity in American society.

Most people don’t like insect meat that much.

Because regular meat is so expensive, I had no choice but to choose Tiny Meat if I wanted to eat meat.

“Even so, does it make sense that they raided a cafeteria with a gun?”

“I heard that the school didn’t give enough notice that insect meat was being served in school lunches.”

“That’s something that should be settled by paying damages, but there’s no reason to kill that many people. This private firearm issue needs to be resolved somehow.”

Mass shootings are an unacceptable act of terrorism for any reason, but the fact that insect meat was the cause caught the attention of all American citizens.

“By the way, I’m really worried about Muslims. Aren’t there about 4 million of them in the US alone?”

“Why Muslims?”

“Insect meat is haram. It is forbidden by law. But it is hard to find anything other than insect meat these days… … . Regular meat is expensive and I can’t eat it, so how can I get halal food?”

“Why on earth did this problem occur? Can’t it be imported from overseas?”

“In fact, crops have been consistently poor around the world for several years. The reduced quantity was covered cheaply by swimming farms, so it seemed that the overall food market was fine.”

“What? Is that true?”

“But now that swimming farms have completely withdrawn from the United States, it’s only natural that food prices are going crazy.”

“China has been buying up all the grain and meat it can find in overseas markets for several years now. Russia is no exception.”

“These days, it’s hard to get food even if you have money. It’s like a famine situation.”

An invisible famine.

That’s why it’s even scarier.

If I had starved myself, I would have been able to perceive reality more clearly, but if I had given up on gourmet food, I would have been able to replenish my calories sufficiently anyway.

“I heard that Muslims are very dissatisfied these days because they can’t get halal meat.”

“The Muslims I know eat Tiny Meat a lot.”

“Not all Muslims are very religious. But even if we assume that only 2 million out of 4 million are devout Muslims, that’s a huge number.”

The government feared that so many Muslims would become discontented and riot.

Non-Muslim citizens at least had the option of tiny meat.

However, Muslims had to pay prices that were dozens of times higher to eat meat.

Even among the meats, there was no halal.

There is an atmosphere of wondering why we should make halal meat when meat itself is precious.

And then the thing I was afraid of happened.

Angry Muslims finally banded together and took to the streets.

It was the first time that a protest was held purely by Muslims.

“Nanosoft, release Halal certified canned food! Why do you only make non-halal canned food!”

“The government must guarantee freedom of religion! Guarantee the right to religious life!”

Muslim protesters gathered in front of Nanosoft headquarters and held a demonstration holding picket signs.

It was an incredible thing for Nanosoft.

“The food business division broke away from our company, so why are they coming to us and doing this?”

In any case, the swimming farm was running well in the United States.

Grain shipments have decreased.

Rather than reducing production, they began steadily stockpiling grain that would have originally been sent to the United States to manufacture sorghum.

In addition, they began to stockpile canned meats such as beef, pork, and chicken.

They created a sanctuary, like the netting around a fish farm, and built a warehouse there to store canned goods.

“Since we’ve made the warehouse a sanctuary, if you store it here and open it after 100 years, it will be the same as if you only stored it for a day.”

“Master, then wouldn’t the aging of the people here also stop?”

“I’m still not very proficient at Shin-eui. It’s just a sanctuary developed for long-term food storage, so it doesn’t apply to me. People aren’t food. The same goes for living animals.”

“Other countries’ leaders will be deeply troubled when they see the Master making such a large quantity of long-term preservation food.”

“That’s why they do things like this. Especially America.”

France is Europe’s largest producer.

Even in France, climate change caused crop failures, which became the starting point of the Franco-Korean War.

Naturally, the food situation in other European countries was not so good, and the number of traders visiting Korea to import food increased.

It was also common for ministerial officials to come to Korea in person to conclude deals.

“The crops are poor, so food supply is critical. We want to import 6 million tons of grain and 500,000 tons of meat.”

“There are so many places asking for food that we can’t possibly supply them all. We can probably only sell 2 million tons of grain and 100,000 tons of meat.”

“Yes? It’s not enough. Our country can’t survive on that.”

“Don’t worry. I checked the food situation in your country. All you have to do is crack down on the merchants who are hoarding and release that amount. If you add 2 million tons of grain and 100,000 tons of meat, your country’s food supply rate will be around 130%. That should be enough to stabilize the food market.”

“Is that true? Where did you get the information about the food situation in our country?”

“Our farm monitors the global food situation on its own. Trust us and buy from us, because our words are based on accurate data.”

There were countries that were half-believing Ha Su-yeong’s words, which were more accurate than the country’s own food situation, but still bought whatever was given.

“I want to buy 10 million tons of wheat, 3 million tons of barley, and 5 million tons of meat.”

“And you plan to distribute 20% in your country and sell the remaining 80% in the US to make a profit?”

“Absolutely not. Our country’s food situation is very bad, so we need to stockpile enough for next year.”

“I understand that a U.S. State Department official recently made a quiet visit to your country. Was it a personal trip?”

“I, I don’t know anything.”

“So, what did you talk about with Mr. Parnaby for three hours, Minister?”

“You said you need 10 million tons of wheat, 3 million tons of barley, and 3 million tons of meat. I will sell them with the condition that they cannot be resold. Is that okay?”

“Well, well… … Come to think of it, 5 million tons of wheat, 1 million tons of barley, and 500,000 tons of meat would be enough to cover next year’s shortage.”

There were also countries that tried to make money by reselling to the United States.

It was not their intention to resell voluntarily, but they did so mostly at the instigation of the United States.

“The US is really trying hard. They are resorting to such tricks because communication itself is blocked.”

“Tsk tsk. You’re never short on calories, but you’re so greedy. You should have done better when President Drowen was in office.”

Currently, there is a US Deputy Secretary of State residing in Korea.

It’s to somehow meet Ha Soo-young and try to resolve everything through conversation.

However, Ha Soo-young had blocked all contact from the United States, except for a few people such as Drowen and the signatories of the American Treaty.

“Master, the Under Secretary of State is lying in wait near the main entrance of the Humint Tower. It appears that the Master has been monitoring information that he has arrived at the congressional office.”

As a member of the National Assembly, his official schedule is open to the public, so anyone can find out about it as long as they keep their eyes on the monitor.

“This, this, if something suddenly falls down in front of me, I’ll lose face. I’ll have to go out by helicopter.”

“I’ll get it ready right away.”

The Deputy Secretary of State, who had been waiting for Ha Soo-young to come out while hiding in a tinted vehicle outside the main gate, looked at her with a blank expression when a helicopter suddenly took off from the roof of the building, and then wiped her face as if tearing it.

China had no intention of accepting America’s covert war proposal.

It’s obvious to anyone that China is being cast as the bad guy and the US is acting as the good guy in an attempt to win Ha Soo-young’s favor.

They say they will turn a blind eye to the Korean Peninsula being engulfed in war, but it is only natural that they will jump in and cause trouble as soon as a good opportunity arises.

“Russia seems to be positively considering the US proposal.”

“Russia? It’s such a transparent proposal. Are you saying we should believe it and just let it slide?”

“The Russian-Russian war is coming to an end. After all, once the Russian-Russian war ends, Russia intends to support North Korea from behind.”

“hmm….”

Photo Pang was worried.

After the Russo-Japanese War ended, they planned to join hands with Russia and shake up the Korean Peninsula.

The weather is getting worse day by day, and the crops are decreasing.

China was already in a state where it could not survive without importing massive amounts of food.

And it is impossible to continue to leave food sovereignty to Korea.

‘Although the order was changed, we were planning to advance into the Korean Peninsula anyway, taking America’s participation as a fait accompli.’

However, there is a difference between starting a war in collusion with the US and starting a war by surprise here. The time required for the US to respond is different.

“Your Excellency, another secret proposal has arrived from the United States, and its contents are not simple.”

“What is it about?”

“It is said that the 7th Fleet stationed in Jeju Island will be completely withdrawn to the mainland and all military equipment, including warships, will be refurbished.”

“The entire 7th Fleet is doing maintenance?”

If the entire fleet goes into overhaul, it will be unable to move for several months at the very least.

What if a war breaks out when the ship is being overhauled and completely torn up and turned upside down? Naturally, it would take a long time to respond.

“They even asked us to decide on the date for the renovation.”

“… … You guys are serious.”
