Agriculture Maniac

Chapter 588 Desires and Ambitions on the Permafrost, Carbon Neutrality
When Dongshan Prefecture was swept up in a wave of demolition and relocation.

In mid-June, the warm Pacific currents, which moved northward with the sun, finally dispelled the chill over Siberia after two months of interaction.

In an instant, the frozen earth began to melt, countless streams began to flow, and all things in the world began to revive.

Southeast corner of Chukotka.

Adrechisky-III Series 1185 Agricultural Reclamation Area.

In the vast valley where greenery is just beginning to emerge, a combined seeder, suitable for cultivating permafrost, roars and speeds along, spewing billowing hot mist, driven by a three-stage polar-nuclear steam turbine.

In the middle of the valley, three large stone-built houses with tiled roofs form a simple courtyard. Outside the courtyard are barbed wire fences and automated warning towers, while inside are various kinds of agricultural machinery and farming tools.

Local time, 11 a.m.

"Kobayashi-kun, look what I've caught—a super-sized Arctic cod!"

A prisoner of war from the Japanese Ground Self-Defense Force, First Class Sergeant Nakamura Saburo, dressed in the uniform of a third-line farm worker, carrying a dark black fish, excitedly rushed into the courtyard, asking, "Can we have a couple of drinks at noon?"

However, when he looked up, he saw his former squad leader, First Class Sergeant Kobayashi, operating a soil testing device to create a high-energy drug.

And some of his former comrades-in-arms used die-casting equipment to manufacture shell casings, while others used milling equipment to make missile launch bases…

"this?"

“Saburo Nakamura, you are more familiar with remote control systems. You are responsible for modifying the control device of the nuclear turbine-combination harvester so that it can only be used by us, turning it into a polar war machine that can charge into battle!”

"I…"

"You wouldn't want to die for no reason, would you? Including your family."

"But…"

"There are no 'buts,' this is an order, go now!"

Saburo Nakamura already knew that the engineers captured by the Japanese Self-Defense Forces had jointly cracked the agricultural reclamation server of the three factions in the Chukotka region, and secretly gained the highest level of control over agricultural machinery and some weapons (the surface system that the three factions deliberately gave them).

They even knew that these engineers had made contact with the Japanese mainland and, by taking advantage of the Japanese university students' assistance in the Chukotka development, had obtained a lot of rare metals, processing equipment, and communication components.

That's why we have this scene today.

But Saburo Nakamura doesn't think this is a good thing.

The abundance of resources in Chukotka, including the glittering gold mines and vast amounts of rare earth elements mined in the southeast, has blinded these right-wing extremists.

This also caused them to become so engrossed in their frenzy that they failed to notice certain details in the Three Systems Agricultural Reclamation Project, and even less to realize how powerful the Three Systems were as a result of these details.

Just like him.

When I was first dropped here by a Y-8 military transport plane, I thought I would be like the prisoners of war from before World War II, forced to work as a laborer in this extremely cold region, which made me very desperate.

But the next day, he not only received three self-heating rations that far exceeded the standards of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces, but also a set of temperature-controlled work clothes with a self-heating system and a sleeping bag with air purification function for protection against wolves and cold at night.

These three things are something that not only Japan cannot produce, but even North America would find it difficult to achieve.

On the third day, the technicians (farmers) from the Third Department arrived. With the help of the agricultural reclamation equipment that was transported at the same time, they led a team of more than 40 people to build the current courtyard house in just one morning.

Then, over two more days, they taught everyone how to operate the three-system agricultural reclamation equipment and basic maintenance skills.

Putting aside the outrageous construction speed, these three-system state farm facilities, whether powered by solar energy or nuclear steam turbines, are completely unheard of and unseen in the outside world.

The ultra-high frequency communication base station, unmanned warning tower, unmanned agricultural reclamation aircraft, unmanned reconnaissance and sampling aircraft, MT Wheat Field Watcher, etc., which are all equipped in the courtyard, are equally shocking, as if witnessing another advanced civilization.

Considering the three non-core, experimental legions, West African main force, Southeast Asian main force, and oil country agricultural reclamation brigade encountered on the Mexican battlefield, what can the Japanese islands use to resist the three systems?
Although news came from the Japanese mainland that 'Fujima has secured the support of three factions'

Although the Japanese military's true target was Canada.
Although the Japanese fleet off the west coast of Canada is very large,

However, Saburo Nakamura always believed that using the Chukchi reclamation project to secretly build up military equipment, then entering the Arctic Ocean from the Chukchi landmass to bypass North American surveillance in the Bering Sea region, and then rushing into Canada from the Arctic Ocean-Beaufort Sea to attack from both sides with the Japanese fleet off the west coast of Canada and take over the northwestern land of Canada was by no means a good strategy.

However, the fanatical right wing had long since taken control of the captured Self-Defense Forces on the Japanese islands, as well as the Japanese university students who were assisting in the Chukotka agricultural reclamation project, and had even begun to gradually sideline the Japanese high command.

In this environment, even if Saburo Nakamura were as clear-headed as he was, he would still have to serve the right wing and become a right wing member.

Otherwise, you will die, and your family will die too…

"It's a black card, it's onboard!"

Nakamura Saburo roared as he stormed into the machine room of the courtyard and began modifying the control system of the 1185 reclamation area of ​​the Third Series.

Other Japanese Self-Defense Force prisoners who were busy at work also shouted loudly upon hearing this.

The voice was impassioned and full of fighting spirit.

"It's a black card, it's onboard!"
.
Eastern Chukotka.

Bering Sea - Tomorrow Island.

The headquarters of the Three-System State Farms.

Two years ago, Guo Xin was transferred from the think tank to the Far East Trading Company. Now in charge of the Far East project of the Third Bureau, he is wearing the Third Bureau's Northern Staff Uniform - a silver-gray onesie thermostatic suit. He stands below the Third Bureau's large conference screen, looking at thousands of monitoring screens of the agricultural reclamation area.

for a long time.

"With the Japanese Self-Defense Force prisoners of war plus right-wing radical university students, there are about 12 people. After adapting to the Chukotka environment, they could take over northern Canada with their agricultural equipment. However, if they want to hold it, processing equipment and ammunition raw materials alone are far from enough."

His assistant hesitated and said, "We only have 2000 factory guards and 3000 West African soldiers in Chukotka. If we give the Japanese islands stronger equipment, we will be attacked."

"If Japan wants to win this gamble on national fortune, it must ensure stability in its rear. And stability in the rear cannot be achieved without the support of the three factions. Japan may even need the tacit approval of the Arctic Bear to realize its strategy of crossing the Bering Sea. Therefore, before Japan takes over Canada and realizes the national migration, it will certainly not dare to offend the three factions and the Arctic Bear."

"What advanced equipment do you plan to deliver to the Japanese islands?"

“Starting from the north of Chukchi, crossing the Arctic Ocean-Beaufort Sea, and entering Canada, the voyage is 2000 kilometers. Assuming the Japanese troop transport ships travel at a speed of 30 knots, it would take at least 35 hours to achieve a landing.”

Guo Xin switched to the map and drew a dotted line. "If Japan obtains our polar-wing-ground effect transport aircraft, it can depart from Chukotka at a speed of 480 kilometers per hour and land in Canada within five hours."

"Mr. Guo, although the Arctic Ocean is warming up and there are no big waves, there is still a possibility that the wing-effect transport aircraft could be smashed by the waves."

"Japan could produce Zero assault aircraft during World War II, and it can produce ground-effect transport aircraft assault aircraft now. After all, it has already started gambling with the fate of the nation. Losing a few aircraft and suffering thousands of casualties is acceptable to Japan if it can easily land in Canada and launch a pincer attack with the fleet on the west coast of Canada."

"In that case, shall we select a group of pilots from the Japanese Self-Defense Forces to learn how to operate ground-effect transport aircraft?"

"Yes, with the help of AI and driver assistance, it can be done in a day."

"Ok."

As the Japanese islands sharpen their swords and their fighting spirit grows ever stronger.

The end of April.

The three-party peace talks have entered their second round.

The consultation meeting was held in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing.

The representatives from the three departments included: Special Guest Lao Yuan, Director of Shiliying Subdistrict Office Huang Ganchen, General Manager of Sanyuan Agriculture Li Changheng, and Energy Manager of Sanyuan High-Tech.

The North American representatives included: Secretary of State Rice, Treasurer Henry, Commerce Director Carlos, and UNEP Director Stephen.

The topics discussed by both sides included: global climate change, global environmental pollution, and global carbon neutrality.

The background of the negotiation is:
North America's deindustrialization led to a significant reduction in carbon emissions;

With North America facing a financial crisis, the Bush administration was unable to launch another large-scale war, North American defense companies did not need to ramp up production, and carbon emissions decreased again.

Since 02, the three systems have focused on developing nuclear energy projects, resulting in a significant reduction in carbon emissions.

The relocation of ternary aquaculture projects to Southeast Asia has led to a continued reduction in carbon emissions.

The three-series electric vehicle project has been fully launched, further reducing carbon emissions.

Dongfang is beginning to fully integrate with the three systems and will soon replace old production capacity with new one, which will significantly reduce carbon emissions in the future.

If statistics are compiled, in 2010, the combined carbon emissions of the three United States would be less than 15% of global carbon emissions, while their population is a quarter of the world's.

Therefore, for the sake of the home planet's environment and the future of all humanity, the three nations must impose restrictions on areas with a huge proportion of carbon emissions.

Of course, in reality, it's about limiting the EU's development by protecting the environment.

Just as Klinsmann agreed to allow the East to join the WTO, but demanded that the East sign the Kyoto Protocol, thus restricting the East's industrial progress.

The reason Sanmi is now restarting the Kyoto Protocol is to prevent the EU from using the bears' resources for processing and production, which would compete with Sanmi's products.

This can also prevent the EU's military industry from overproducing and reduce the threat to the three US countries.

The higher authorities were unwilling to participate in this negotiation between the three women.

Because the three systems' attitude toward Europe is becoming increasingly cold and hard, the higher authorities need to remain independent and uninvolved as a buffer.

This isn't about playing peacemaker; it's about preventing the fickle North America from suddenly betraying the Tri-Series and isolating it from Europe and the US. However, promoting global carbon neutrality requires the involvement of a 'major entity'.

The Bush administration has been mobilized in North America.

Dongfang can't possibly mobilize the Shiliying Subdistrict Office.

Therefore, Lao Yuan had no choice but to attend this meeting in his capacity as the person in charge of internal reports.

In meeting.

Both sides routinely read out negative news such as global warming and environmental pollution.

The description then focuses on the massive gap in the sky above Antarctica…

for a long time.

Lao Yuan picked up his blue-and-white porcelain teacup, took a sip, and glanced at the North American delegation’s tight suits and ties. “According to our satellite monitoring data, the carbon emissions of the European steel and power industries are increasing by an average of 17% per year, which is equivalent to burning down three Amazon rainforests every day.”

Rice nodded seriously. "Yes, Mr. Yuan. We believe that Europe has caused enormous damage to the global environment and poses a great threat to the survival of all mankind. Therefore, we believe that we should not only restart the Kyoto Protocol, but also sign a new agreement to improve the climate and environment of our home planet."

"We wholeheartedly agree!"

After Lao Yuan finished speaking, he signed the Oriental Mark on the list of approved documents for the Kyoto Agreement.

The signing process for agreements between countries includes:
Sign (I agree with what you said, but that doesn't mean I'm joining).

Approval/Authorization (You allow me to join, or I agree to join)

Acceptance/Joining (You accept my joining, or I officially join).

This means that the restrictions originally imposed to limit the development of industry in the East have officially come into effect, but now they are being applied to the European Union.

Furthermore, the EU will soon face a new agreement (the Paris Agreement).

After the consultation meeting concluded.

North American-dominated news media began advocating for environmental protection and the preservation of the home planet's ecosystem.

It also criticized European coal-fired power plants, including Germany's most advanced Mörburgh coal-fired power plant, with an investment of nearly 30 billion euros; France's largest power plant, Köldermayer, which accounts for 30% of France's total electricity generation; and the Netherlands' largest power plant, Emshaven, which is almost the same size as France's...

At the same time, it guided European public opinion, organized protests by European citizens, and demanded that European countries dismantle coal-fired power plants.

Europe shut down almost all nuclear power plants after the Lissee nuclear disaster.

Later, David Engsger led his fleet to threaten Europe into signing a 'nuclear waste recycling' agreement, and also took the opportunity to dismantle a large number of nuclear power plants.

If Europe were to shut down coal-fired power plants now, it is estimated that 80% of Europe would experience power outages (the rest would be powered by hydropower and wind power).

The EU knows that this is the evil alliance of the three US countries raising its sword again.

In response, the EU, which had previously insisted on implementing the Kyoto Protocol and frequently urged the East to ratify it as soon as possible, is now starting to stall and obstruct.

However, after the North American-dominated news media gained momentum, the three-way communication network, taking into account its responsibility to its allies, also began to exert its efforts.

July has arrived.

When the European Parliament enters its recess (which reduces resistance to decision-making).

Europe is filled with slogans such as "Protecting the environment is everyone's responsibility," "Reject pollution, love our home," and "Reduce pollution emissions, share a green life," as well as increasingly large parade groups.

mid-December.

The German official stepped down amid boos.

Immediately afterwards, Germany invested 30 billion euros in what became the world's most advanced coal-fired power plant, which was then blown to smithereens by Germany itself in a deafening explosion.

Following the explosion, most parts of Germany erupted in celebration.

It was as if this were a huge victory.

at the same time.

Unable to withstand the pressure, the French government announced the demolition of four old coal-fired power plants within its borders.

However, the French public, influenced by North American public opinion, did not buy it and demanded the removal of everything.

The French representative declined to comment.

Soon, unprecedented protests erupted in France.

Including the farmers who came to the city to protest against the "anti-three" movement, major cities in France were packed with people, far exceeding the scale of the bustling scene at Shili Camp, where the factory's entrance exams had just ended.

The large number of European residents traveling outdoors has alleviated the peak pressure on the EU's summer energy demand.

Unbeknownst to most people, as the number of coal-fired power plants decreased, electricity supply in Europe plummeted.

7 month 22 number.

The second round of talks between the three countries has concluded.

During this consultation meeting, both parties reached an agreement on 'financialized energy,' also known as carbon quotas or carbon trading.

Or.

The Kyoto Protocol requires the reduction of emissions of six greenhouse gases and allocates a certain amount of emissions to countries around the world based on their share of global GDP.

For example, based on the total GDP, you can emit a maximum of 5 units per year, and I can emit a maximum of 8 units per year.

If you need more but I don't, I can set a price for my 8 units and sell them to you.

To put it simply, the three companies that meet carbon emission standards hold more carbon allowances.

Then, by selling these carbon allowances to countries around the world, they can get a lot of US dollars and resources in return.

The North American financial crisis requires US dollars.

The three departments value development and require resources.

The two sides quickly reached an agreement and restarted carbon neutrality.

Of course, the EU does not agree with this, and has even rallied other countries to join in its opposition.

"rogue!"

"robber!"

"Oppose the hegemony of the three Americas!"

Amidst bursts of curses.

General Electric and General Dynamics, which together control 40% of the global nuclear energy market, have both announced price increases for American nuclear energy equipment, with the increase amounting to 450%.

Followed by.

Sanyuan High-Tech and Sanyuan Energy, which dominate 35% of the global nuclear energy market, angrily denounced General Electric for taking advantage of the situation.

Subsequently, it was announced that in order to avoid constituting malicious competition, it had to raise the prices of the three-system nuclear energy equipment and the three-system nuclear contamination treatment by 800%.

EU: "."

But that’s not the end.

7 month 23 number.

American companies have raised their prices for energy facilities such as wind power, solar power, hydropower, and diesel power generation.

Following suit, the three major companies also raised the prices of their related products.

7 month 24 number.

American companies have raised prices for products such as batteries and motors.

Three-tier companies +1.

In particular, the prices of ternary lithium batteries and ternary capacitors have increased by as much as 2000%.

7 month 25 number.

American-made air conditioners, refrigerators, and freezers have all seen price increases.

Three-tier companies +1.

The EU, already suffering from heatstroke due to power supply problems: "."
