Ms. Acker and her assistants could not

believe what Jasper had just said.

How much was 100 million tons?

One had to keep in mind that in the past

2000 years, the total annual foodstuff

production in Somerland was only 380

million tons.

Although 2001 was not over yet,

according to the calculations of the

Statistics Bureau, the total annual

foodstuff production would not exceed

420 million tons.

This was the total amount considering all

types of food including wheat, rice, corn,

and so on. If they only calculated rice and

wheat, the amount would be less.

One year’s food rations for the people of

the whole country was a big deal no

matter which country it was.

And according to Jasper, this was only a

conservative estimate. If it was 120

million tons and upward, then it would

almost certainly exceed the national one

year production volume.

With a conflicted expression, Ms. Acker hesitated and struggled for a while before saying, “Our limit is about 140 million tons. If it is more, then there will be a great risk, and according to the regulations, no matter what the situation i

s, it will be necessary for us to retain a

portion of the foodstuff in the reserve

which cannot be moved under any

circumstance.”
