Chapter 1402 A shocking conspiracy (third update, please subscribe)
A few days later.
In the study office of the official residence, Li Yian looked at the report in front of him. The pages of the report were clipped to a pile of photos and placed together on a low coffee table in front of him.
What is different from the previous photos is that these photos are from on-site shooting and are photos taken by "Hydra" in Russia. The photos clearly show that there are obvious signs of wheat yield reduction.
After all, this is not a 10% or 15% reduction in production, but a 30% or even 40% reduction!
"...As you can see from the photos, large areas of crops are wilting, which is a visible reduction in yield."
After thinking about it, Berlin said:
"Moreover, according to the intelligence we have obtained, although the climate last year was somewhat abnormal, it was only in some areas. The climate in most areas is still normal and not worse than in previous years."
"In other words, it's not entirely due to the weather?"
Li Yian asked rhetorically.
"Then why are there large-scale production cuts?"
"This is a strange thing, Your Excellency. I can't understand it either."
Berlin said truthfully.
"But my career tells me that anything abnormal must happen for a reason!"
Everything happens for a reason!
Nodding, Li Yian turned around from facing a row of large windows. The scenery outside the window is picturesque. He loves the scenery outside the window. This lush scene always makes people feel happy. The only thing that makes people feel uncomfortable is that the window cannot be opened. The bulletproof glass is 18 centimeters thick. , although it can block weapons attacks including 14.5mm bullets, it also makes opening windows impossible.
Standing by the window and taking a few puffs of cigar, Li Yian walked over again and sat down on the couch in the office. On the other side of the coffee table was Berlin. He put the cigar next to the ashtray and took the photo carefully. Looked up.
"My experts on food issues are also unclear. Berlin, in fact, no matter what happens in the Soviet Union, no matter how much their food production decreases, it doesn't matter much to us, but we need to try our best to avoid taking it seriously. Spread the word ”
The reason for this is because if this matter is publicized, it will harm others and not benefit itself - the Soviet Union needs to import grain at high prices. Perhaps grain companies can profit from it, but it is far from being comparable to the United States. After all, the United States is now the world's most powerful country. The largest grain exporting country.
"Compared to the food itself, I care more about the behind-the-scenes of this matter."
"Well, these photos show that crop wilting, or whatever it is, is spreading across the country, and there is obviously a problem, but what kind of problem is it."
Berlin said,
"Now that's the rub. If the cause was climatic, there should be some climatic phenomenon that could explain it. But there's no sign of that. If it was directly caused by a crop disease, it would be at least regionally If it is caused by a parasitic disease, it will be the same. But it is sporadic. There are patches of healthy wheat growing next to the damaged fields. No disease.
Therefore, this thing is very strange, even a bit bizarre. ”
While nodding in agreement, Li Yian motioned for him to continue.
"That was illogical, so I sent a few more capable agents to the scene, but they haven't come back with a report. The Soviet propaganda tool didn't say a word about it. My own agricultural buddies were already aware of it. After pondering over the photos, the only conclusion they could draw was that there was some kind of disease in the seeds or there was a disease in the soil.
But they simply can't understand the contingency. Don't start with those known patterns. But the key lies in the incredible events and what is hidden behind them. ”
Putting down the photo in his hand, Li Yian picked up the cigar lying there from the ashtray, took a puff of the cigarette first, and then asked:
"So, what do you want to do?"
"I want,"
Berlin continued,
"You approve that more attention should be paid to this issue, which will mean sending as many delegations and businessmen there as possible, and I think finding out the reasons for Moscow's silence or ignorance on this issue will be important for Our next steps are extremely beneficial.”
After a slight pause, Berlin took out a cigarette from the cigarette case on the table, lit it, took a puff, and said:
"Over the years, sometimes, I always have a feeling that the world is controlled by an inexplicable force. I don't know if this force exists, but my professional sensitivity tells me that this force does exist. , especially..."
Looking at the Excellency in front of him, Berlin took a deep breath and said:
"Especially the intelligence from Washington makes me convinced that this force must exist, but we have never understood it, or in other words, it has been cleverly hidden behind the scenes and controlling everything. I know this idea It may be ridiculous, but Your Excellency, I think this force is real and worthy of our vigilance.”
Because they had some communication about the "mysterious organization" before, Li Yian didn't find it strange.
"So you think this force exists in Moscow?"
Li Yian asked back:
"Sir, I just think it is possible. After all, we don't know whether this organization really exists. If it exists, when did it appear? And at the same time, where did he reach out?" Then, he said with emphasis:
"Since I know nothing about him, I have to assume all possibilities, including this incident in Russia. Is there really no one behind such a strange thing?
If someone is manipulating, who is the manipulator?
And what is the purpose of the manipulator in manipulating this matter? ”
Successive questions came out of Berlin's mouth. Li Yian remained silent.
If someone is manipulating this matter, what is their purpose? Obviously it won't be to raise food prices.
"They not only caused the Soviet Union to reduce grain production, but also deliberately concealed the news. The information our people in Moscow received is that Moscow believes that this year will be a bumper harvest year."
Berlin looked at the Excellency in front of him and continued.
"Everything is so incredible, in a place where you can control everything in the country.
How could this happen if no one deliberately manipulated it? ”
After Berlin's words fell, the office finally fell into silence. The two of them just sat on the sofa and smoked silently. They leaned on the back of the sofa, seeming to be thinking about something?
I don't know how long it took before Li Yian spoke.
"Berlin, do what you want, if there is such an organization - dig it out."
After listening to Your Excellency's order, Berlin thought for a moment and said:
"If a comprehensive investigation is to be conducted, it may involve Washington. After all, that matter has now entered the implementation stage, and we can completely follow the clues..."
"It may also cause fire and burn yourself."
Shaking his head, Li Yian said:
"Let's start from the Russian side. Although it seems difficult, it is relatively safer. At least it will not cause fire."
He doesn't even want to touch the matter in the United States. The best choice is to hide as far away as possible.
"But if this kind of power really exists, and if this matter is controlled by them, they are likely to reveal their existence, inadvertently, maybe..."
After taking a puff of cigarette, Li Yian said:
"Maybe we can get some extra gains there."
Who knows?
This is just a possibility. After Berlin left, Li Yian fell into deep thought again. He had a certain understanding of the Soviet Union's grain production reduction this year. What he knew was that the Soviet Union's grain production reached its peak last year. After that, it suddenly dropped by a third.
What about the black storm in Siberia, what about the agricultural policy mistakes of He Corn Cob, and other issues... In the end, they were all pushed towards one person - He Corn Cob!
At that time, the Soviet Union purchased a large amount of grain from the international market through gold reserves and dealt with the reduction in grain production. Of course, this year's reduction in grain production was a heavy blow to its prestige.
"Then what happened?"
Taking a puff of cigar, Li Yian said to himself:
"Next year, next year the Medal Emperor will drive He Corncob off the stage..."
This will happen next year, in October next year, almost in Dallas... Suddenly Li Yian sat upright suddenly, his expression was shocked, and he said to himself:
"And in November of this year, Playboy had his head opened in Dallas, and in October next year, He Corncob was overthrown. That is to say, in less than a year, the heads of the two superpowers have encountered "righteousness" Change", how is this possible!"
How is this impossible?
Because this is what happened. The fact is that the heads of the two superpowers were driven out by disgraceful means - one was publicly executed, and the other was driven out directly.
The public execution was carried out quickly and accurately in the street. They spent at least nine months, or even longer, planning all this.
And what about the other side?
Could the inexplicable reduction in food production be part of their plan? Just to undermine the prestige of corn on the cob? Paving the way for the next move?
"What if all this is to prepare for the positive changes next year?"
After suddenly thinking of this, Li Yian felt a chill down his spine, because this was the first time that he had truly discovered a conspiracy, and this conspiracy indeed pointed to an organization, an unknown one, but was manipulating the behind the scenes. All organized!
