This unprecedented drought tests the new Nanjing Central Committee and also tests a country's ability to deal with crises. When Huafei established a strategic reserve of grain, many people had objected. Because the current grain is not surplus at all, and the price is very high. Instead of storing the grain saved between the teeth, it is better to sell it to the international market and exchange it for real money and silver. It is not only convenient to store, but also does not need to invest in the construction of hardware facilities such as granaries. In any aspect, even within the Baxing Party, Huafei's decision was generally considered a foolish government. Many passionate representatives even went to Huafei's residence to personally seek a meeting, insisting on persuading the president in person. No matter what the final result is, the result of the implementation of the strategic reserve of grain in an orderly manner is very telling.

After only less than a year, the huge advantage of the strategic food reserve plan that was considered to be Yuzheng was quickly highlighted. In the face of this year's general drought, the importance of food, which is a strategic material related to survival, has been widely realized. Even if you have more real money, you cannot buy food in China. The international food is already nervous, and seeing that you are short of food in China, you will ask for a price all over the place. Compared with the price of selling grain at the beginning, it is a small matter. The gap is not a small matter. Only at this moment can people realize how forward-looking and strategic Huafei's decision was. Those within the Fuxing Party and even the central government who admire Huafei's military achievements very much at this moment are even more admired in their hearts. Their president has wisdom far surpassed ordinary people in the national strategic direction and has a forward-looking strategic vision.

However, it is not only these people who don’t know that even Huafei itself, the original intention of establishing strategic food and other material reserves was to World War II, which was not far away. Who would have thought that this strategic reserve system would have effect in this national drought and saved countless lives. Its importance and significance are far beyond imagination for people who are not worried about food crises in the future.

Only by being fed and fed, you will know etiquette. On the road to comprehensively build a country, the first thing any government faces is to solve the problem that everyone has food and clothing. The understanding of the word "food and fed" is very simple, that is, eating full, with fragrant white rice, you will not starve to death. You can wear warm clothes, and you will not freeze to death. As long as you can do these two things, you can basically create a prosperous era in the thousands of years of history of China.

Although the country has limited financial resources and not much strategic reserves of grain, Huafei still took action personally. He commanded and mobilized all national forces and used the power of the entire country to fight against drought. Even if the consequences of drought cannot be eliminated, this impact can be minimized.

The National Defense Force directly intervened in the disaster relief, showing the combat effectiveness of the National Defense Forces again. It not only reflected on the battlefield, but also satirized the so-called National Defense Forces' remarks that only kill people, proving Hua Fei's conclusion on the nature of the National Defense Forces is for the integrity of the territory, the security and dignity of the country, and the right to life of the people. Droughts also threatened the lives of many citizens. If the local governments rely solely on disaster relief, they would obviously be unable to do so. So the National Defense Forces had no choice but to go to battle.

The five armies have just expanded and recruited. The National Defense Army soldiers who have completed recruit training have all completed recruitment and the National Defense Army combat troops of the other five armies have been ordered to be put into disaster relief, and the number of disaster relief personnel used is not less than the number of people who have quelled the southern rebellion in the central government. Those veterans who should have retired this year have also suspended their retirement and formed veteran battalions to extend their service period until the disaster relief mission is completed before they can return to their hometown.

Many national defense forces soldiers not only helped local villagers carry water and transport food, and solved the most fundamental livelihood problems. More people were vigorously and massively constructed water conservancy projects in various places in the disaster area. All water conservancy projects that have been reviewed by the government have invested a lot of manpower and started construction in full swing. In the era of lack of or even no machines, the scene of thousands of people gathering to dig reservoirs is so grand and majestic that it can make people feel passionate and excited.

As the physical strength of a large number of people recovered, they saw those children who had never met, sweating profusely for their hometown and in order to prevent them from suffering from disasters in the future. People could not sit still, and the crops were almost gone anyway. Instead of resting at home, it would be better to work with the children. Anyone who could walk around was all out and joined the vast army of bookkeeping and dams. The strong were good at work, and the women were even more men. Children had the weight of children, and those who were too young could also use cloth bags to cover the soil out little by little. Unless the legs and feet were not smooth, the elderly would definitely be embarrassed to stand by. Even those elderly people who were too old would boil water and make tea at the battle site so that these dolls who were sweating would no longer drink the cold raw water.

No one mobilized or organized, almost all the people in the drought-affected areas were driven by this atmosphere and were all involved in the earth-shaking battle to transform mountains and rivers. If you want to be lazy and hide at home and not work, not only your relatives will not spare you, but the entire village will probably never stay there, and you will be looked down upon for the rest of your life and be humiliated by pointing at your back.

On this dry land, there are not only 300,000 National Defense Forces soldiers fighting the drought, but also thousands of people in the disaster area, 400,000 compatriots in the entire China, and a large family of Chinese ethnic groups composed of countless overseas Chinese.

After mobilizing the army to rescue the disaster, the disaster situation in various places improved significantly, and at least those reports of starving people did not appear again. Although most of the grain harvests were poor, some areas could restore some grain crops to a certain extent during the disaster relief and seedling protection campaign. Although the harvest will eventually affect it, the situation of unfinished harvest will not occur.

Huafei was not satisfied with this. In addition to doing these tasks, Huafei also made arrangements and plans for the long-term plans in the future. Although 10,000 reasons and excuses can be found, the government's response to the drought is obviously slow and lagging in response to the drought. Huafei is difficult to shirk the responsibility brought by these problems.

After all, drought is not like an earthquake. The problems they exposed are completely different. Droughts are suitable for a slow process, and no one knows when it will rain. Maybe the drought is still very serious today, but maybe it will suddenly rain tomorrow. The so-called drought can be resolved immediately. The earthquake is a severe and sudden disaster. At the beginning of the earthquake, all disaster relief is a race against time. The faster you react, the more people will be rescued. If you don’t go to rescue, let alone rain, even if it is a gun, those people under the ruins will still be hopeless.

At present, except for the Northeast region, the country has basically completed unification, but many places have only dispatched central inspectors. Most of the government agencies and members are the original people, and their efficiency and service style are basically based on old habits, which is also a fundamental reason for the serious lag in this drought.

In addition, although Hua Fei directly controls the three major intelligence agencies, it has played an extremely important role in Hua Fei's grasp of various interests. However, in the field of people's livelihood, these intelligence agencies have no right to intervene or inquire. If Hua Fei expands the authority of a certain intelligence agency to the political field of people's livelihood, it will definitely allow Hua Fei to control local people's livelihood intelligence to be faster and more accurate. But the biggest problem is that such intelligence agencies have too great authority, and the terrorist spy living environment that comes here is contrary to Hua Fei's ideal of building a happy country.

So in the end, Huafei chose to accelerate the restructuring of the local government, strengthen the efficiency of local governments, and began to comprehensively improve various rules and regulations of government agencies, and comprehensively promote the country's political reform. Only when political reform is ahead and to create a government with clean government and efficient government can economic construction be efficient and develop more healthily.

In other aspects, Huafei has made two other arrangements. One is to establish a National Meteorological Center to formally prepare for national meteorological forecast research and construction, and provide evidence to rely on for climate such as drought, floods, etc. Although it is very difficult to accurately forecast the weather at present, this research and related infrastructure can be started.

In addition, we began to develop the two main rivers in China, the Yangtze River and the Yellow River. Building large dams can not only mobilize water sources, expand irrigation area, prevent droughts, reduce floods, but also generate electricity. It provides huge cheap energy for the development of industry and the electrification of life. Although hydropower stations still have certain disadvantages in later generations, it is undeniable that hydropower generation is not only the most economical, but also the safest and most efficient clean energy.

Huafei, the generator set for hydropower stations, has no worries. With the existence of Nikola Tesla, the electrical superman, he built generator sets for the Niagara Power Station in the United States as early as 1895, and that power station was still one of the world's famous hydropower stations until a hundred years later. The difficulty lies in the fact that China's second mother river, whether it is the Yellow River or the Yangtze River, it is not as difficult as building a dam. The only thing that builds hydropower stations in China is to build a hydropower station with some reservoirs and some tributaries.

Another key reason is that due to China's terrain, most hydropower stations can only be built in the middle and upper reaches of these two rivers. In China's current industrial status and development trend, most industries that consume and demand huge electricity are in coastal industrial cities. The Yangtze River is a little better, after all, industrial clusters centered on Wuhan are gradually formed, but even so, demand is far from the lowest designed power generation.

If a power station with huge investment cannot be sold out and becomes a huge dam, it would be a waste. Therefore, if you want to build a hydropower station in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River and the middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River, you also need supporting long-distance transmission lines. This investment is much greater than the construction of the power station itself.

Such a huge investment is absolutely unbearable for China at present. Therefore, in the planning documents handed over to the cabinet for review, Huafei only planned to build two power stations within ten years. Moreover, the design of the power station requires the reserve of generator sets, and gradually increase the construction of generator set modules according to the needs in the future. The scientific research on long-distance transmission lines is handed over to Tesla's research team. Research with generator sets has become the research focus of this core research center in China for a long time in the future.

Just as China was fully engaged in drought relief and disaster relief work and people were busy for water conservancy construction, unpleasant voices came from the international community again. The Supreme Federal Government of Canada passed the Chinese Exclusion Act this year. This bill stipulates that all Chinese people cannot enter Canada except for special circumstances such as merchants, diplomats, and international students. Moreover, this bill is not only limited to Chinese citizens, but even Chinese with British origins are prohibited from entering Canada.

This is a nude discrimination. Although the phenomenon of anti-China abroad has been around for a long time, this discrimination against Chinese citizens and even Chinese in Canada has once again hurt Hua Fei very much. It can be foreseeable that after this bill is issued and implemented, even Chinese who stay in Canada will be discriminated to some extent, thus living in a lower-class society.

Looking at this simple bill, businessmen do business and give money to Canada, so they don’t ban it. Diplomats basically have special rights, so they don’t ban it. International students also give money in a sense, so they are also on the green light list. Canadians really only have money as the highest standard. This bill even bans Chinese people and cannot ban money. Its abominable side, even people from other countries, are somewhat contemptuous and disdainful.

Huafei's reaction this time is different from the last Macau incident. After all, there are countless Chinese and overseas Chinese living in Canada. Using very tough methods will inevitably have an impact on the lives of these overseas wanderers. So although they are still on the front line of disaster resistance, Huafei still took time to rush back to Nanjing to hold a special meeting on this incident.

After the meeting, the Chinese government officially announced a statement, which responded to Canada's anti-Chinese bill. First, it expressed great disappointment with the Canadian government's decision and responded in accordance with relevant international law. 1. End all diplomatic relations with Canada and withdraw all diplomatic personnel. Aren't you allowed our diplomatic personnel to enter Canada? But if we Chinese are all prohibited from entering Canada, we will also send ambassadors to your country. What is the need for us to establish diplomatic relations with you? This is the answer of the spokesperson of the Diplomatic Department when answering a reporter's question.

2. Stop all trade relations with Canada and prohibit all Chinese businessmen from doing business and investing in Canada. They also issue calls to Chinese and overseas Chinese around the world to terminate cooperation and trade with Canadian or Canadian-American businessmen.

3. Chinese students are prohibited from studying in Canada. All publicly-sponsored students who have studied in Canada will be recalled and transferred to other countries to continue their studies. For students studying in Canada privately, the Chinese government provides all assistance and conveniences for transferring to other countries and provides a transfer fund.

4. According to the principle of reciprocity of international relations, China announced that the day after the announcement of this notice, all Canadians, including Canadian citizens who are not Canadian nationality, are prohibited from entering China, but Canadian merchants are allowed to enter China to purchase goods, purchase industrial products and other materials, and certain special authorization personnel are allowed.

China's response was very simple, but it caused an uproar in countries around the world. Many reporters came to China one after another, hoping to discover further reports on the matter. If the previous Jiecheng incident was a military battle between China and foreign countries and achieved victory, then this diplomatic struggle with Canada was a literary battle.

And look at China's response, although it is very simple, its ruthless moves and every step is simply amazing. Canada's anti-Chinese Chinese and prohibits Chinese from entering, China immediately announced that it would break off diplomatic relations with it. The speed of the method and the fierce response were shocking. Moreover, when the diplomat answered a question from a foreign reporter, his tone and meaning were full of ridicule, which made many people present laugh and understandably.

Isn’t Canada prohibiting Chinese people and not merchants? Well, let’s prohibit all Chinese businessmen from entering Canada to engage in any economic and trade. As the Chinese government, it really has this right. Although your country has a large territory, your economy has no advantage over today’s China. For China, Canada’s economic and trade status in China is also extremely unobtrusive.

In addition, China also calls on Chinese and overseas Chinese all over the world to join forces to not only not go to Canada to do business, but also stop business with Canadians. This not only hits Canada's economy, but also makes business people in Canada uncomfortable. You should know that today's Chinese businessmen are spread all over the world, especially in Southeast Asia, where Chinese even dominate wealth in some countries. Even if Canada today can ignore this, with the gradual development of China's economy in the future, Canadians will find that their choice is stupid. China can be without Canada, and if Canada loses the connection and cooperation of China, an important future country, their losses will definitely not be just commercial losses.

Canada's education does have some advantages, but compared with other developed countries, this advantage is almost negligible for China. Moreover, with the large number of international student plans over the years, higher education in China has also developed greatly. The number of government-sponsored students studying abroad has gradually decreased, and most of them are studying in scarce and important areas in the future.

You ban Chinese, we cannot stop them. You don’t stop money, but we just don’t let money flow into your country. And in the last article, China also announced that it would ban Canadians from entering China, which can be said to have made a reciprocal response. And it also imitated Canada and did not prohibit Canadian merchants from entering China to purchase supplies. Note that it is to purchase goods, which means that you can only come to China to buy things, but not sell things to China. It is even more spicy than the Canadian rule.
