Compared with the indifference of neighboring countries, China and the United States have more complex attitudes towards India.

According to the information released later, Li Pingkoo had a great test on the issue of aid to India. At that time, he even proposed at a high-level meeting to restore the grain rationing system in China, formulate stricter rationing standards, and strive to increase the grain surplus of 100 million to 150 million tons.

This idea is obviously very naive.

In fact, Li Pingko never submitted such a proposal to the National Congress because his proposal was completely opposed during the high-level discussion.

In Huang Hanlin's words, if the people across the country are forced to tighten their belts, they will not be Chinese leaders.

China has helped other countries to the best of its ability, and has not completely deregulated the control state. The main agricultural products still need to be paid in terms of the amount issued by the state. The average annual grain quota of the country is less than 900 kilograms, which is not considered rich if it is replaced. Without foreign aid, it can increase the average annual grain quota of 100 kilograms, which is equivalent to an extra bread or an egg every morning. It can be said that China has done a very good job. Relatively speaking, developed Western countries are more selfish. The United States has deregulated and allowed citizens to purchase food freely. The EU has also brought the control to the minimum standard, relaxing the per capita grain purchase from 75 kilograms to 120 kilograms. In Li Mingyang's words, American families have hoarded more than 100 million tons of food, and the EU has hoarded about 100 million tons of food, while Americans and Europeans cannot consume so much food at all.

There is another factor that cannot be ignored, that is, the food flowing into the international black market mainly comes from the United States and the European Union.

From a policy perspective, the United States and Europe are unwilling to increase control efforts, which is clearly using food as a weapon to plunder other countries.

According to some information released later, during the global food crisis from 2037 to 2039, the United States and other Western countries plundered wealth worth more than 1 trillion US dollars from food-deficient countries through private smuggling, of which the hard currency such as gold flowing into the United States was worth more than 1 trillion US dollars. At that time, some American private enterprises, especially shipping companies, directly exchanged grain for other countries for gold, silver, antiques, art and other goods. In 2038, an American company exchanged 500 tons of grain for a bankrupt Arab chief to ten famous Picasso paintings worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and these artworks increased several times after the crisis.

In this way, if China strengthens control and reduces food quotas, it is equivalent to plundering.

Given the situation at that time, even if the high-level meeting passed Li Pingko's proposal, it would be rejected at the National Congress.

In fact, the US president also had the idea of ​​strengthening control at that time.

From the perspective of national strategic interests, as long as the United States strengthens its control, it can use the surplus domestic food to gain a strategically level ally. You should know that in early 2038, a private survey agency in the United States conducted a survey on 30,000 families, and each family hoarded an average of 1,800 kilograms of grain. If calculated based on the total of 130 million households in the United States, the private food stockpiling in the United States exceeded 200 million tons.

Although food is precious, it is not conducive to long-term storage.

Take flour and rice for example. Even in an ideal environment, the maximum storage cycle is about two years. It is basically impossible for ordinary families to have an ideal storage environment, and most of the food is stored in the basement. As a result, two years later, almost all of these foods are wasted.

More importantly, the United States' food production is not a problem at all.

In other words, as long as the United States strengthens control or introduces a bill to prohibit the hoarding of food, 200 million tons of food can be taken out in a very short period of time.

For India, this is definitely a life-saving straw.

The problem is that the US president did not do this in the end. The reason is very simple. The US Congress has passed a bill that has lifted the national regulation and revoked the presidential privileges. Therefore, any executive order involving the personal interests of citizens needs to obtain majority support in Congress.

There is no doubt that the US Congress will certainly not support the bill to aid India free of charge.

In fact, it is difficult to get Congressional support even if it is not free aid, because most of the U.S. Congressmen speak for interest groups, which have already tasted the sweetness of this global food crisis and are ready to gain more benefits.

It can be seen from this that both China and the United States leaders know that India has important strategic value, but neither can defeat internal opposition.

As a result, the Global Climate Affairs Organization achieved no results in its discussions in May.

The Indian issue can no longer be resolved through international organizations.

However, as a leader with a very idealistic color, Li Pingko still did something within his ability. For example, on June 1, when he participated in an event celebrating Children's Day, he declared that he would provide anti-cancer drugs to Indian children as soon as possible, and called on civil forces to help Indian orphans.

This matter is completely within the scope of Li Pingko's decision-making.

Two days later, he signed an action plan to aid India's anti-cancer drugs, and the first batch of 30 million anti-cancer drugs arrived in New Delhi on June 5.

Because it is official aid from China, it is only for Indian children.

This move was warmly welcomed and greatly appreciated by the Indian authorities.

In the next few months, China successively provided 170 million anti-cancer drugs to India, and vaccinated 200 million children under the age of 12. Because it is a genetic drug, after taking it, it can not only treat cancer, but also prevent cancer.

After China took action, the United States also showed great enthusiasm.

By the end of 2038, the United States provided 100 million anti-cancer drugs to India.

Including the aid provided by China, 300 million Indian children under the age of 12 received anti-cancer vaccination that year.

However, this cannot solve the most serious problem, that is, India still has not received enough food aid, and it cannot even guarantee that more than half of the citizens will survive this most difficult year. At that time, the hungry people in India had already started to eat tree bark, and some Hindus even broke the taboos and began to slaughter oxen. In some remote areas, there were even tragedies of people who cannibalize people, and some parents even exchanged their children for cannibalism. In June alone, courts across India tried more than a thousand cannibal cases and sentenced hundreds of deaths.

Fortunately, natural disasters in South Asia weakened during the summer.

If everything goes well, India will usher in a bumper grain harvest in the autumn. In addition, food production in South Asian countries such as Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Bhutan and Sri Lanka may also rebound, so the demand for China's food aid will be reduced.

At the end of July, Li Pingko quickly visited South Asian countries such as Pakistan.

His trip had only one purpose: after the bumper harvest of autumn grain in South Asian countries, appropriately reduce the aid efforts to free up about 18 million tons of aid quota.

Obviously, these foods will be aided to India.

At the operational level, Li Pingko made it clear that China will not harm the interests of other countries, and that countries that only need to receive assistance can hand over the food to India. In other words, China will still provide food aid to Pakistan and other South Asian countries in accordance with the promises at the beginning of the year, and these countries only need to do a favor.

Of course, this is mainly to avoid the cumbersome judicial procedures in China.

If China directly provides food to India, it will need to be reviewed and approved by the National Congress. 18 million tons of food is definitely not a trivial matter. Just deliberation will take a long time. If it is ultimately rejected, all Li Pingko's efforts will be in vain.

With his personal prestige, Li Pingko successfully convinced the leaders of Pakistan and other countries.

Of course, there is a prerequisite for this, that is, a bumper harvest of autumn grain. If serious disasters occur in the next two months, Pakistan and other countries will have no reason to help India hungry.

By early August, the United States could no longer sit still.

Because of the low latitude, since August, the autumn grain harvesting work in South Asian countries such as Pakistan has begun. Sri Lanka took the lead in announcing that the autumn grain production will increase by 38% compared with 2037, and harvesting more than 14 million tons of rice, which can basically meet domestic supply.

As long as nothing unexpected happens, in the next month, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan and other countries will also win the first bumper autumn grain harvest in three years.

If the United States fails to take action, China will definitely be left behind.

Although more than 10 million tons of food are nothing and cannot fill the gap in India, the symbolic significance of China's move is far greater than its actual value. Previously, China took the lead in the aid of anti-cancer drugs and won the trust and support of many Indians.

On August 8, the US President formally submitted the Food Purchase Limit Act to Congress.

According to this bill, the grain hoarded by American citizens shall not exceed 400 kilograms per capita, and the excess shall be sold to five grain purchase companies with franchise licenses at the price specified by the federal government, and then repurchased by the federal government through bond mortgage.

Obviously, the US president has made the right move, but the American people do not think so.

During the congressional deliberation phase, national demonstrations broke out in the United States. Polls showed that more than two-thirds of American citizens believed that the Food Purchase Registration Act violated the Constitution, that is, citizens' life rights are sacred and that owning food is the most basic human right.

At that time, opposition lawmakers also launched impeachment operations in Congress.

Two days later, the U.S. Supreme Procuratorate intervened in the matter and began to investigate whether the U.S. president was suspected of being unconstitutional based on the lawsuit filed by citizens.

For the United States, this is definitely not a trivial matter.

Because the president has no right to resign, before the Supreme Court accepts and trials, the best outcome for the US president is that the cabinet collectively turns against each other, and the vice president temporarily takes over the president's power on the grounds of health and other issues. If the US president does not make a self-sacrifice and the Supreme Court makes a judgment, it will definitely be removed, and the best result is to use the president's power to pardon after the vice president takes office.
