Spectators all over the world wondered why the superpowers of 20 years ago could attack whoever they wanted on the earth! Unable to find a key reason, they even deliberately took out a small tube of "washing powder" to use this as an excuse to wipe out a medium-sized country in an instant. Any other power, including the superpowers' so-called European allies, will not be able to oppose it. On the contrary, more than 20 years later, today's superpowers are in a completely different style. Needless to say, the guerrillas of other major powers, even some small coastal countries, can fight with the huge fleets led by the superpowers. And the superpower's super-allies in the Middle East, which they cannot give up the most, have suffered hundreds of ballistic missiles and cruise missiles overnight; they have actually announced to the outside world that the probability of interception is more than 99 percent! If you fight at will, I will resist beating you like this! If you had changed to before, not to mention hundreds of missiles, you would have to pay the price of dozens of lives even if you threw a stone at the opposite side! Then the superpower and its key allies
Could it be that they all suddenly put down the TU knife and cultivated on the spot to become FO? In just 30 years, the global strategic situation has long since disappeared. In the past, the superpower was a superpower, so it was natural that it could start wars at will. Today, however, there is suddenly an opponent who is basically equal in every way. The superpowers are up and down, and they have to use almost all their national strength to keep an eye on each other at all times. As a result, in other strategic directions, they have become dispensable. Even if the super-powers tried their best to pull the superpowers into the water again, they were held down by the superpowers again with all their might! Obviously, today's superpowers have regarded all other strategic directions in the world as all kinds of sesame seeds that can be given up at any time, and the only thing that must always be the "big strategic watermelon" in the East must be kept an eye on at all times! The question is, will it really be effective if it continues to be carried out for such a long time? This is not a matter of divination or prediction of the future, but a simple argument based on facts, the current superpower even includes the entire West.
Sesame seeds are a non-grain crop with two main uses: the first is to flavor some foods, and the second is to extract oil. Sesame oil is the well-known sesame oil, in fact, it is also for flavoring. In the last 20 years, global sesame production has almost doubled due to increased demand. From less than 4.5 million tons in the past, it has directly risen to more than 8 million tons. Of the 8 million tons of sesame seeds, 90% were eventually exported to a large country, because only a large country in the world produces a large number of "sesame oil" and hot pot sauces, which are inseparable from sesame seeds. The yield per mu of sesame seeds is not high, the global average yield per mu does not exceed 50 kg, and only the self-produced sesame seeds of a large country can achieve a yield of more than 100 kg per mu. But the export value is not low; after all, a small bottle of sesame oil costs tens of YUAN. Therefore, the cultivation of sesame seeds is very suitable for large-scale concentrated and continuous cultivation in countries with large land resources. Western countries such as the United States, Canada and Australia, which have large areas of land, are most suitable for large areas;
Sesame seeds are grown and exported. However, large Western farmers generally do not look down on this "small crop" with very low yields. So unconsciously, in the past 30 years, the West has generally taken the initiative to give up sesame cultivation. On the contrary, the world's largest sesame production area has been overtaken by the newly rising African countries and has become the latest fist product of their export innovation! This is tantamount to saying that the West has taken the initiative to give up all sesame seeds, so can they keep watermelons? In fact, they can't. In 2013, the eastern countries had an annual output of more than 70 million tons of watermelons, accounting for 71% of the world's total output that year. By last year, that is, in 2023, there will be a greater breakthrough, with an annual output of more than 230 million tons of watermelons that year, which has accounted for nearly 8% of the world. If calculated according to the population of 1.41 billion, it is equivalent to more than 168 kilograms of watermelon per person per year. Assuming that a watermelon is 10 kilograms, an average person will eat 16 watermelons a year, which should be similar to the feeling of peak watermelon consumption in summer. Because in the summer, normal families,
Almost every day, at most, every other day, I have to buy a large watermelon to relieve the heat. In the summer of more than three months, it is normal for a family of five to consume seventy or eighty watermelons. Therefore, it is indeed credible that the average person consumes 16 watermelons a year. And families with good conditions, even in winter and spring, will consume relatively high-priced watermelons from time to time. Does the United States, as the world's sole superpower today, also produce watermelons? Does the 340 million American people, including tens of millions of illegal immigrants, also have the blessing of consuming at least 16 large watermelons per capita every year? In fact, there are no doors! Although the United States is still one of the world's 10 largest watermelon producers, it has fallen to the eighth place. The most recent statistics show that the United States could only produce 1.68 million tons of watermelons that year. According to the population of 340 million, each American can only share 4.9 kilograms of watermelon per year, that is, the per capita consumption of only half a watermelon a year! It is only 32 times the per capita consumption of the big countries in the East, and this is still the total population of the United States.
Only less than a quarter of the large countries in the East under the premise. As for Japan and South Korea, the per capita annual production and consumption of watermelons are not even in the United States. In the long and hot summer, it is considered the New Year if you can eat a slice of watermelon per person. Therefore, the people of the big eastern countries can only feel righteous indignation at not eating watermelon skins! If it is said that the West has completely abandoned sesame seeds, it is because it does not look down on the "petty profits" in it and takes the initiative to give up, then why is it even less effective in the production of watermelons, which is crucial?
