Franchise God Episode 1583

Chapter 340 African Farming Simulation (6)

France had tried several times to incite the rebels to burn the swimming farms, but had now given up completely.

This was because all I was spending was money and there was no harvest at all.

There was no way for the rebels to defeat the 12-meter-long mini railgun drones deployed on each country’s farm.

The decisive moment was the simultaneous missile attacks in the Central African Republic.

Dozens of rebels fired portable surface-to-air missiles simultaneously from multiple directions.

However, the railgun drone took evasive maneuvers and shot down all the missiles with its railgun.

Moreover, not a single rebel who participated in the battle returned alive.

After that, the rebel forces in the Central African Republic completely lost the will to touch the swimming farm.

France also gave up on touching the farms from this point on.

The battle became widely known throughout Africa, and no armed group now dared to invade the farm.

As a result, the rumor that the area around the farm was safe grew stronger, and more poor people on the brink of starvation flocked there.

As the lowest-class residents, whom each country’s administrative power could not handle, flocked in, the burden on the central government actually had the effect of decreasing.

Moreover, as grain produced on farms began to spread throughout the country, food problems disappeared.

On the surface, it seemed like an era of impeccable peace had begun.

But not everyone was at ease.

Cameroon Presidential Palace.

“Your Majesty, this is a grave crisis.”

“A crisis? Grain is pouring out of the swimming farms, and the poor are also living around the farms, so isn’t the city’s security improving?”

“The number of poor people gathering around the swimming farm is increasing at an alarming rate. The number of people leaving Your Majesty’s jurisdiction is too many.”

“Well, but isn’t that a number that won’t help increase the national power of this country right now? It would be more helpful to just leave them hanging on to the swimming farm and make a living.”

“That’s true now, but if they stick together for a long time and build up their own power, it will become a threat.”

President Villa stroked his chin.

Having ruled for nearly 40 years, he, like other dictators, could not stand by and watch as threats to his power arose.

However, there was still greater doubt as to how much of a threat a slum made up of a small number of poor people could pose.

“How many poor people have flocked to the slums around the farm?”

“I can’t give exact statistics. It’s hard to gauge because it’s made up of many small villages, but I think it’s probably over 80,000.”

“80,000. That’s an ambiguous number.”

Cameroon has a population of approximately 29 million.

Even if you say 80 thousand, it’s barely noticeable.

However, officials, including the president, were unable to even grasp the approximate figure due to their lack of administrative power.

Still, it was a little better than the Republic of Congo.

“The problem is that the areas where the slums have formed are the farm lands we provided.”

“Oh no. I promised extraterritoriality to the farm.”

“The swimming group doesn’t seem to have any intention of kicking out the poor. They came in with the intention of solving the food problem, so they seem to have judged it contradictory to kick out the poor who came to them in search of food.”

“I guess so.”

The actual target of the attack was France, but the apparent justification was to support food self-sufficiency.

It would be impossible to drive out the poor who have flocked there because it is too difficult to make a living.

“For now, we will just sit back and watch, as the farms are providing a huge supply of food. However, we will have to keep a close eye on it.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

U.S. U.S. *

The French president was initially a bit uncomfortable, but he has improved somewhat these days.

“We don’t have enough to export to our former colonies in Africa. We need to increase our stockpiles. I would like to lock down grain exports altogether.”

France’s grain production this year is expected to exceed 150%.

But seeing the Great Famine in America, the President decided to hoard all the surplus.

I was even grateful when the West African market came out and said firmly, ‘We don’t need your grain anymore!’

And while it wasn’t quite as bad as the US, where a whole year’s crops were ruined, Europe’s overall crops weren’t all that great either.

France had the richest agricultural land in Europe and was also abundant in food production.

European neighbors with poor harvests began knocking on their doors and asking for grain exports.

The French president enjoyed this grain advantage to the fullest and used food exports as an excuse to actively call for participation in the EU-China semiconductor alliance.

“Mr. President, you must now proceed to the Semiconductor Union Headquarters.”

“Well, let’s go.”

The headquarters of the Europe-China Semiconductor Alliance will be established in France.

It was expected that they would compete with Germany, but surprisingly, Germany easily yielded to France.

‘This is a two-timing thing. You damn bastards.’

The president laughed to himself, thinking that this was just another cunning move by the same people who started two world wars.

Today, semiconductor entrepreneurs from Europe and China are gathered at the headquarters of the Semiconductor Alliance.

Minister-level officials from each country participating in the alliance also gather together to discuss future vision.

The French president, who entered the headquarters, felt secretly pleased as he watched the businessmen and executives gathered together and constantly chatting.

As the event began, the Chinese Premier gave a congratulatory speech and made a bold promise.

“We, the People’s Republic of China, will invest at least 1 trillion euros in the semiconductor alliance!”

There was a thunderous applause from businessmen and politicians.

The Chinese Premier enjoyed the applause with joy, and the French President also applauded enthusiastically, with genuine joy.

* * *

The businessmen were smiling on the outside, but their hearts were not like that.

“Whether it’s pouring 1 trillion euros or 10 trillion euros, Seojin Foundry will never be able to compete with us. I don’t know what politicians are thinking.”

“There is no economic logic at all here. There is only political logic.”

“It seems like they are building a wall to prevent Seojin Foundry Semiconductor from entering Europe at all. It is such a foolish excuse.”

The semiconductor alliance can never beat Seojin Foundry in terms of performance and environment.

In those two areas, we will forever remain behind.

Of course, there are other advantages as well.

The fact that it can create many jobs and protect semiconductor independence. The Korea-US semiconductor alliance can be unswayed.

“What does that mean? After all, there is a huge difference in performance.”

“I don’t know if it makes sense to turn over this environmental policy like the palm of your hand and say we’re going to seize Seojin Foundry after pushing for eco-friendly energy and carbon neutrality so hard.”

“How much do you think American companies are laughing at us in Europe right now?”

Europe has decided not to impose low-carbon policies and green energy only on ‘European semiconductors’.

If it’s the semiconductor industry, it’s an advantage to be able to emit carbon gas and use nuclear power.

While other industries are being beaten down for even the faintest trace of carbon footprints, overseas companies can only laugh at the fact that they are only going to look after European semiconductors.

“I am afraid. In the future, Europe will only be able to use low-quality European semiconductors that are expensive to produce, and then the overseas competitiveness of IT companies will seriously decline.”

“Eventually, European products and services will end up being relegated to being outdated products that no one wants.”

“But wouldn’t it be a good thing for Seojin Foundry to raise its process costs by 30%?”

Everyone laughed in disbelief at the words of a businessman and refuted them.

“It may be good news for cost, but bad news for performance.”

“Just wait and see. In just 10 years, all the electronic devices used by European citizens and companies will be made up of backward-looking semiconductors.”

“Surely not to that extent… … .”

“I heard that the Elysee Palace is also considering imposing a tariff of at least 500% on Korean semiconductors.”

“Oh my god, at least 500%!”

“So, Korean semiconductors won’t be able to come close to Europe.”

There were sighs among businessmen, but when politicians approached, they smiled as if they had never talked about such gloomy things before and began discussing a rosy future.

“At least 1 trillion euros. It certainly shows how big China is as a country and how big the continent is.”

“We will invest at least 200 billion euros in Europe, so it is worth a try.”

“If European and Chinese companies join forces, it could certainly help revive the semiconductor industry.”

“If you combine the populations of Europe and China, it’s a market of a whopping 2.2 billion. It’s not just the numbers that are large, but their purchasing power has also been proven. Korean semiconductors will feel the pain of losing a market of 2.2 billion.”

The French minister, who had been approaching with a smile, burst into laughter and was delighted.

“You are right. We have a huge market and we have the power to control the flow of goods. The United States and the Commonwealth will greatly regret losing the European and Chinese markets.”

European businessmen kept a sociable smile on their faces in front of politicians.

* * *

The event took place over the course of a week.

European and Chinese businesspeople and government officials have been communicating constantly to organize opinions, reach compromises, and draw up blueprints.

After careful consultation among the working-level officials, an agreement was finally created for the representatives of each country to sign.

This agreement will now have strong legal force binding on member states.

-Europe and China will join forces to complete their own semiconductor ecosystem within 10 years.

– Contributes to economic revitalization by creating numerous jobs through the semiconductor industry.

……(syncopation)……

European science and engineering experts were strongly opposed to such a semiconductor alliance.

“If we continue to use only low-performance semiconductors, the competitiveness of companies and countries will continue to decline! A huge gap that cannot be overcome will open up!”

“Don’t you know the theory of comparative advantage? Now is not the time for Europe to focus on legacy semiconductor processes! Even the US has closed all its semiconductor factories. What kind of stupid decision is this!”

But the opposition of such experts fell on deaf ears of politicians.

The media also ignored them.

[If we examine the jobs and economic impact that the EU-China semiconductor alliance will create… … Omitted… … .

Simply using semiconductors designed by the US and produced by Korea could lead to a future where we give up serious scientific and technological sovereignty… … Omitted… … .

National leaders sometimes have to make choices that protect the lives and jobs of their people, even if it means sacrificing the pace of development… … .]

It’s okay if semiconductor performance falls behind a little.

We will accept the shortcomings and create our own unique ecosystem.

The media sympathized with the government’s policy, and the public did not strongly object to it as it talked about job creation and economic effects.

-Seojin Foundry is producing so many semiconductors, but it has 0 employees! It is an evil company that does not pay a single worker a salary!

A majority of European citizens, under the influence of propaganda, decided that it would be better to build Europe’s own semiconductor infrastructure, even if its performance was somewhat inferior.

Finally, the semiconductor alliance schedule was completed, and the representatives of each country signed the blueprint for the future agreed upon by all countries.

At the same time, the Chinese government completed depositing 200 billion euros and 800 billion yuan (about 100 billion euros) into the account of the New Europe-China Semiconductor Alliance, headquartered in France.

‘Right Now!’

The Wall Street Journal broke the story that took aim at France.

-France had the right to purchase natural resources (diamonds, gold, nickel, tungsten, uranium, cocoa, oil development rights, etc.) in former colonial African regions using food as a weapon.

-France’s influence in Africa has been steadily declining in recent years due to the entry of multinational grain companies.

-With the expansion of the swimming farms into Africa, France is now likely to completely lose its influence over Africa’s food supply, which will have a serious negative impact on African resource imports.

– In this situation, wasting national power on a legacy semiconductor alliance is like throwing away 100 years of the future.

?France loses African market, goes all-in on outdated semiconductors. Long-term economic downturn certain.

As soon as the agreement on the semiconductor alliance blueprint was finalized, the mood in France turned sour when the United States poured cold water on it.

“This is a conspiracy by the Korea-US semiconductor alliance!”

“2.2 billion Europeans are afraid of losing the Chinese semiconductor market, so they are resorting to ridiculous tactics to contain it!”

“Kick out the Americans! Kill the yellow monkeys!”

French protesters marched through the streets, attacking and burning American and South Korean stores.

The flames that seemed like they would burn down all of Korea and America in France were suddenly attacked by a typhoon that blew in from the Korean Peninsula.

[Premium Process System Launch]

[Diamond Semiconductor Mass Production]

It was a short official announcement from Seojin Foundry.
