◈ 198. Sino-Japanese War (1)

Officially, Jincheol’s wealth was estimated to be the fifth largest in South Korea.

The whole world was in shambles, but the developed countries were somehow still running, and Jincheol’s wealth ranking was placed among the top 500 in the world.

Although he was ranked in the top 500, he possessed enormous wealth.

Of course, that was official property, and if you include the unofficial property that Jincheol had, it could have gone up much higher.

In particular, I was able to reach level 18.

Solving the relics of King Kapu will allow you to gain a large amount of level experience by eliminating the threat of solar blast.

“What is the level limit for this? Maybe up to 20?”

Now, with each step I took, I gained various buffs, and it was close to a hundred thousand points.

As the territory of the Republic of Korea expands, environmental buffs are strengthened.

Upon reaching level 18, you could earn points equivalent to a trillion won worth of coins.

In addition, new Cash Up features became available.

Above all, I was able to obtain a large number of roulette tickets and platinum exchange tickets.

Of course, there were still not enough platinum vouchers to acquire the raw materials for vaccines or treatments.

The number of Platinum Exchange Tickets required was so high that even the large number of Exchange Tickets obtained through leveling up was not enough.

The only good thing is that the Haze virus doesn’t turn people into zombies in seconds or minutes like the zombie viruses in the movies.

In fact, the zombie virus was nonsense.

And no matter how fast the virus multiplies, it’s hard to turn someone into a zombie in less than a few minutes.

As people gradually learned about the Haze virus, their fears gradually began to diminish.

Of course, there was no way to know what would happen if a mutant were born.

Jincheol had to look into the Baekdu Mountain issue every time he tried to secure the raw materials for the cure.

He started a project to create a large-scale sheep farm on the Gaema Plateau.

Lamb was not a very welcome meat for Koreans.

Although it is increasingly sought after as a delicacy, many Koreans do not like the smell of meat and thus find the unique smell of lamb unpleasant.

That’s why they looked for pigs and cows more than sheep, and if not, they mainly consumed chicken.

However, the high altitude and cold of the Gaema Plateau were not suitable for raising pigs, cattle, or chickens.

If you wanted to do it, you could, but it wouldn’t be very efficient.

In such a highland, it was decided to raise goats along with sheep, and a large amount of pasture was needed to raise these two livestock.

Since the Balbal Group was already enjoying considerable success with improved pasture production, they also created a large-scale pasture production area in the Gaema Plateau.

It was a large-scale mechanization project to develop millions of acres of pasture land, just like what you see overseas.

Of course, since it was a pasture that could only be produced during one summer season, the production was lower than that of pastures in the southern regions that were harvested twice, but the overall production from the overwhelming area was much higher.

The pastures produced in this way were supplied not only to the sheep flocks of the Gaema Plateau but also to farms in the southern region.

The decline in global trade volumes was also evident in the agricultural sector.

Agricultural products imported from South Korea were more animal feed than food.

Because of this, if there is a problem with the feed supply, it can cause fatal problems for numerous livestock.

Because even dog food was entirely dependent on imported ingredients from overseas, there was a lot of noise about pet food for a while.

Naturally, the price of cat food has risen so much that the number of people giving cat food to cats on the street has decreased significantly.

To solve the feed shortage, they had to produce corn as well as large pastures.

The problem was that these pastures and corn consumed enormous amounts of water.

Importing food required such enormous water resources that it was said to be importing water.

The reason why large-scale farmland development in the Gaema Plateau was difficult was not only because of the rugged mountains and trees, but also because, as is typical of highland regions, there was a lack of water resources.

That is why the goal was to create pastures that could be raised to some extent even when water resources were insufficient.

Nevertheless, Jincheol had to travel around the lost world to find new breeds of cattle suitable for pastures, along with a huge amount of points, in order to develop the Gaema Plateau region.

The government was also impressed by the results of such efforts.

“Thanks to Chairman Kim, the food problem in the southern region as well as the North Korean region has been stabilized. I would like to thank you on behalf of the government.”

“It would have been difficult without the support of the authorities.”

It was thanks to the trust and faith that we have had in continuing our agricultural business steadily for over a decade.

Because the country is small, agriculture is bound to be small-scale, and it was considered very difficult to control crop prices as they rapidly rise or fall.

Due to advanced industrialization, agriculture has become a declining industry in South Korea, barely hanging on to its lifeline.

But amid the chaos around the world, high-tech industries failed to provide meals today.

There was a reason why many predicted that while World War III could be a war for hegemony, if World War IV were to break out, the biggest issue would be food.

In a situation where it almost became a large-scale famine problem, Jincheol’s footsteps group was able to prevent anyone from starving to death, although not completely.

“Can we donate the pastures produced here to the Northeast Samsung?”

“Northeast Samsung?”

“yes.”

Jincheol was embarrassed by the government official’s request.

In the past, Jincheol had accepted the government’s request for food aid to the northeastern Samsung region, but had encountered difficulties from the Chinese government.

I felt resentful towards the government for not actually providing any help.

Of course, I understand the Korean government’s position to some extent.

“I understand that the food problem in the Northeast Samsung has been resolved to some extent.”

It was the northeastern Samseong, which had a large plain larger than the Korean Peninsula.

Although there was a brief food shortage due to a problem, the food problem in the northeastern three provinces was solved as food production began to stabilize.

Rather, it would have been sufficient to export food to the Korean Peninsula.

Nevertheless, Jincheol could tell there was something to the government official’s words about whether they could support the pasture.

“Aren’t you going to tell me what it is?”

“sorry.”

“Okay, I understand. We were having a hard time because we had some pasture left anyway. Instead, I would like you to give us permission to build a fish farm in the Hwanghae-do region.”

“Don’t worry. We should be the ones making the request.”

In response to a request to quickly provide pasture, saying it was urgent, the pasture was handed over.

Even the Chinese government had little opposition to pastures used as livestock feed rather than for direct food.

However, it was the army of the Northeastern Three Kingdoms that took over the pastures that were delivered by train at the border.

Jincheol learned how the pasture he produced was being used.

“Weapon support?”

Every time I sold grass, my points decreased.

The South Korean government was supporting and selling North Korean weapons that were difficult to dispose of to Dongbuk Samsung.

Soldiers in the North Korean region were being provided with reserve force supplies and trained, and all of North Korea’s outdated weapons were being transferred to the northeastern Samseong area.

The relationship between the Northeast Asian countries and China was so bad that they were practically separate countries.

However, they were not yet strong enough to wage war against the mainland, so they were unable to declare independence.

Several years had passed since the Qinghuangdao earthquake, but the damage was so severe that the city itself was almost completely obliterated, and restoration efforts were almost abandoned.

The devastation in Southeast Asia, the war with India, and the collapse of trade with the West were pushing the Chinese government to its limits.

Although India was unable to push into mainland China, its support for Tibetan independence spread the war across the Himalayas.

No, not only Tibet, but even the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region was shaking.

Of course, the Northeast region has been an important region for the Chinese government since ancient times, to the point where it has been considered a top priority region.

When successive Chinese governments fell, the ethnic minorities in the northeast region played a major role.

That’s why we had to control the Northeast region somehow.

The northeastern region was so close to the capital, Beijing.

However, small earthquakes continued to occur in Qinghuangdao, and the terrain itself was mountainous in other areas, making it extremely difficult to travel to the northeastern region of China.

Physical access has become difficult as several roads have collapsed due to mysterious explosions.

In addition, the Chinese government’s capacity was gradually weakening as food production was disrupted by various floods and natural disasters in southern China.

The South Korean government has come up with the idea of ​​making the Northeastern Samseong region a buffer zone with China, just as China used North Korea as a buffer zone in the past.

In fact, with the US military virtually withdrawing, it has become difficult to receive further assistance from the US military in the war with China.

A significant number of American troops stationed in Korea have defected to Japan.

That is why Korea had no choice but to take risks in order to survive.

It is unclear whether this was intended to be the birth of North China, but it did end up supporting North Korean weapons.

In addition, military factories in North Korea were not dismantled and continued to be maintained.

If possible, they plan to secretly provide weapons to the Northeastern Three Kingdoms army.

And the pasture was just an illusion.

China’s food problem was more serious than expected.

Since ancient times, China has had a vast North China Plain and a powerful population.

The enormous amount of food produced there made China the most powerful country for a long time.

But the problem was that the vast North China Plain was covered with cement along with the excessive population.

The plains were ideal for building cities.

In less than 10 years, the United States used as much cement as it had used in a hundred years, and produced half of the world’s cement.

Unlike in the past, the once vast North China Plain had been transformed into a city.

Among these cities, there are abandoned cities, and it is said that there are up to 100 million empty houses.

Even if they wanted to create farmland, it was not realistically possible to demolish entire apartment complexes with dozens of stories, remove the asphalt and cement on the ground, and then turn them into farmland.

The North China Plain, which had supported China’s population, had now been reduced to a half-acre plain.

There was a reason why the Chinese government needed food from the three northeastern provinces, as it had to import food from all over the world to feed its people.

But because of that food, the Northeastern Three Kingdoms began to dream of independence from China.

The Chinese government was also aware of the discontent of the Northeastern Three Kingdoms and tried not to evade food exports again, but the internal situation was not good.

Although Northeast Samsung is the biggest of China’s core interests, in the end, the most important thing is the mainland.

As the food shortage situation on the mainland reached its limit, attempts were made to transport this year’s food production by cargo ship.

And that was what made the Northeast Samsung completely independent.

Even if they brought in food from the northeastern province of Samseong, the problem still persisted, so the Chinese government eventually approached the largest food production company on the Korean Peninsula, Balgeum Group, to import food.

I have been proposing to Jincheol the export of spare food.
