If you don't have to eat even if you don't fight, will you consume more grain and grass in war?I'm still interested in this issue. In this process, the factors of food and grain and grass always play an important role. When not fighting, people need to eat to support their daily lives. In war, the consumption of grain and grass is even greater. However, is it possible to say that more grain and grass must be consumed in a war than in a non-war?This is not a simple question and needs to be considered from multiple angles.
First of all, we need to be clear: war does consume a lot of food and grass. The operation of the war machine requires a lot of material support, of which food and forage are the most important. Soldiers need to be well fed to have the physical strength to fight, and horses need plenty of forage to keep them mobile. In addition, war can lead to the desolation of fields, which reduces food production and further exacerbates the consumption of grain and grass.
However, we cannot ignore another fact: when there is no war, people also need to eat, and they also need to consume food and grass. In peacetime, people need to engage in agricultural production, transportation and other activities, which require the consumption of food and forage. In addition, when there is no war, people also need to store food and grass to cope with possible famines, disasters, etc.
Therefore, we cannot simply say that more grain and grass must be consumed in a war than in a non-war. This depends on a variety of factors, including the size of the war, the duration of the war, the number of people involved, the capacity of transportation, and more. For example, a short and intense war may consume no more food and grass than in peacetime, while a long, large-scale war may consume a large amount of food and grass.
In general, both fighting and not fighting will consume grain and grass, but the exact amount of consumption depends on a variety of factors. We should recognize the enormous need for food and forage in war, and at the same time recognize that the need for food and forage in peacetime is equally important. While pursuing peace and development, we should also attach importance to the production and storage of grain to meet the basic needs of the people.
