Hamid said without hesitation, “Okay! I will follow my brother’s strategy!”
After speaking, favonovel.com hurriedly asked, “My brother, what other suggestions and instructions do you have?”
Charlie said, “Besides all of that, it is necessary to purchase a large amount of food and medicine immediately and store it in a dry and safe environment. Right off, you must store a total of more than three years of rations!”
Hamid exclaimed, “Three years?! So many?! An adult eats at least two hundred kilograms of food a year, for two thousand people, it would be 400 tons, and it would be 1,200 tons for three years!
Charlie asked, “Then I ask you, how much is 1,200 tons of food?”
Hamid thought for a while, and said, “The current market price is about three hundred dollars per ton of wheat, and 1,200 tons. Including transportation costs, that is 400,000 dollars. The money is not much, but the point is this. How do I store so much grain? And the grain will not stay good if it is left for a long time.”
Charlie said helplessly, “Now it is time for you to engage in strategic reserves, not your normal food rations. Think about it, you first build a three-year food ration, then purchase food according to the actual consumption of the year. This way, you will always have an extra three-year ration on hand!”
“As long as the food is stored properly, it won’t go bad in three years. The climate in the Middle East is relatively dry and it’s easier to store. You will always be eating the oldest batch of grain. So when you buy grain, a new batch of grain replaces the oldest batch. Using this method, you can guarantee that the food stored in hand will not be less than three years worth.”
“Your enemy can attack you, corner you, trap you, and try to starve you out. Even if this happens, you will be able to survive for three years.” Charlie concluded, “The principle of weapons, ammunition and medicine is the same. You should make more arrangements and plan for cycle rotation. You must have strategic reserves in your hands to increase your longevity in war.”
Hamid suddenly realized, and exclaimed, “Brother, I understand! This tactic is amazing!”
Charlie said helplessly, “What’s so wonderful? This is a simple truth. In China, everyone who has studied in elementary school learns these simple tactics from reading our history.”
Hamid was embarrassed. He was ashamed and said, “Hey, I mainly wanted to go to China to eat off a gold plate. I could speak Chinese well, but all other cultural aspects were really overlooked.”
After speaking, favonovel.com immediately said, “My brother, I understand what you mean. Yes, the main thing is to do everything possible to use that 100 million US dollars to strengthen defenses. Not only must the fortifications be strengthened, but the defense materials must also be adequately prepared. Don’t worry, I will arrange for people to purchase food, ammunition and medicine, and also purchase some infrastructure equipment and building materials.”
Charlie snorted and said, “In this case, the problem of defense and materials can basically be solved, but there is another problem that needs you to solve immediately!”
