Plane Merchant's Dream of a Powerful Country

In 12, the newly announced national defense budget of the Yanhuang Republic was about 7000 billion yuan. Including invisible defense expenditures, it is generally believed to be around 8000 billion yuan, accounting for 11.7% of the entire national fiscal expenditure of 6.84 trillion yuan. It sounds like an arranged expenditure Very much.But a careful analysis will reveal that there are more fixed expenses and less living money that can be used.There are about 240 million people in the Yanhuang Republican Army. Now the salaries of soldiers, non-commissioned officers, and officers in the army have been greatly improved. With the compensation for changing jobs, it is estimated that to maintain the size of the army of 240 million, it will cost about 00 billion yuan per year (considering that there are senior Military officers have relatively large expenditures on treatment and medical treatment, calculated based on an average of about 8 yuan per person per year).Yanhuang's characteristic welfare expenditures, such as: military welfare housing, welcoming and sending, etc., need about 500-1000 billion yuan.Various activities such as maintenance, maintenance, research and development, training, exercises, and maintaining the production of military factories cost a lot of money, so it is estimated that the funds used for purchasing new equipment every year are about 1000 billion to 1500 billion yuan, and this is still the army, navy and air force. combined results.Among them, the latest aircraft of the Air Force is 2 million yuan, and the latest destroyer of the Navy is more than one billion yuan, which is very normal.Therefore, there is not much left for the army to replace equipment, and the equipment of the army is not cheap. An armed helicopter (Wu 10) costs tens of millions, and a new tank (Type 99) costs about 3000 million. You can see the national defense parade. The mighty and majestic phalanx, but that is only the elite part of the army's nearly 200 million troops, a very small handful (I found out when collecting information, it is equipped with a motorized infantry division of 14000 people, and the tanks are configured according to Khalid bmt 00, The helicopter is Wu 10, and the remaining equipment is the upgraded version mentioned in the previous chapter, which costs about 1 million per division, excluding maintenance, training, and wear and tear).Wang Fan estimates that the number of troops equipped for military parade in the Yanhuang Republic is about 30 to 50, accounting for one-fifth to one-fourth of the total army, distributed in the capital military region and the southeast adjacent to Yanhuang Treasure Island Military regions, as far as the central and western military regions far away from political figures and sensitive areas, are estimated to still be using equipment from the early 90s. After all, modern warfare is about command of the sea and air, so equipment updates must first take care of the air force and navy.The army maintains 50 elite rapid response troops, which is enough to deal with local wars except World War III.The transaction amount is 1630 billion yuan!All the equipment sold are existing or sealed, or eliminated, or make do with them. The production cost is close to zero, and a large amount of maintenance costs can be saved. So it is not a myth to make a profit of 1600 billion yuan, but a fact!Arming a 1-person motorized infantry division with 14000 million people, considering the lower cost of scale production, it is enough to completely refit all the main marine forces of two of the seven military regions of the Yanhuang Republic from the inside out, and It's still the most thorough one that changes all the underwear!In terms of time, the national defense department's refit plan was completed 5 years ahead of schedule!Therefore, when the purchase order of 1630 billion yuan was reported to the Ministry of National Defense, Deputy Minister Meng was confused!After reporting the information and the contract amount to Admiral Xu in a dizzy state, he still hasn't recovered from it!Admiral Xu was also a little "empty and unreplenishable", and he was in a daze for half a minute.In the afternoon of the same day, several army leaders scattered in the local military region returned to the capital of the Yanhuang Republic one after another, and held a temporary meeting in a heavily guarded underground command post of the army.General Zhang, General Fu, General Zhou and General Xu are the "Four King Kongs" of the Yanhuang Republic Army today, and they are also the spokespersons of various factions in the army.Admiral Xu sits in the center and the Northeast, and controls the capital military region, the most elite of the 180 million troops of the Yanhuang Republic, and also governs the Northeast Military Region.Among the most elite 50 troops in the empire, 25 are in the capital military region and belong to General Xu, who is the most powerful faction in the army.General Zhang was born in a water town in the south of the Yangtze River. He was serious in his work and won the approval of officers and soldiers at the bottom.Responsible for the southeast military region on the verge of Treasure Island. Although it is only in charge of one military region, it is the most powerful among the seven major military regions. It has 7 troops under its jurisdiction, including another 55 elite soldiers of the Republic Army, and has the highest training level. , the most complete preparations for war, ready to deal with emergencies at any time.Admiral Fu is tall and mighty, a well-known bold man in the Northwest. He is in charge of the defense of the two major military regions in the Northwest. He is in charge of 25 people. In the end, General Zhou under the jurisdiction of the two major military regions in the Southwest and 45 troops. He and General Fu’s troops are temporarily Both are supported by weapons from the 2s. "Old Xu, why are you in such a hurry and called us all back from the place?" Admiral Fu sat on the sofa and asked carelessly. "Yes, yes, today I temporarily postponed a troop confrontation military exercise, and flew over in a hurry! What's the matter?" Admiral Zhou echoed.General Zhang didn't speak, but his eyes were fixed on General Xu. "Look at this, and you'll understand!" Admiral Xu didn't directly say the reason, but just sent the stack of documents in his hand to the three people.Soon, the three were attracted by the detailed weapons catalogue, quotation, purchase quantity, contract amount, last transaction amount, the disappearance of arms, and three leading international military technologies on paper. "Is there any result from the Military Investigation Section?" Admiral Zhang asked after reading the materials. "They couldn't find out the past background of the signature John. International arms donors don't have this person, and they don't have any transaction records in the past. Several arms dealers we have business with have also confirmed that they don't know this person! It's like It came out of nowhere." Admiral Xu returned. "What makes me feel strange is that the ammunition disappeared overnight, and it is still under the nose of our guards." Admiral Zhou rubbed his fingers to receive it. "With the ability and funds to participate in such a large arms trade, it is impossible to be an unknown person who can produce top military technology. Those experts say that the reliability is 30% and the feasibility of industrial production is more than 90%!" Fu Shang Jiang appeared rough on the surface, but in fact he was very meticulous in his heart, "Old Xu, you should have an idea on how to deal with it, come and listen to me!" "My idea is to continue the arms deal with them and find smuggling channels for smuggling gangs, but for the time being Monitor it and not directly attack it. Keep this line and test whether you can get the latest foreign military technology for a long time. Of course, it would be better if there are arms deals in the future." "Hey, I agree, old Xu, after this sale Of the 9 billion yuan, 8 billion belongs to the army , There is no root hair, tears run!, Of course, in the end, the Admiral and the Air Force Admiral took away 1630 billion yuan from the army together, this is something later!)" "Yes, yes, this time you can give it to me and the old man Let’s change your belongings, the Southwest Military Region is suffering~~” “Drop it down, you still have some oil and water in the southwest, and I have nothing there except the northwest wind!” Seeing these two “living treasures” want to quarrel again, Admiral Xu He and General Zhang smiled wryly at each other. There was no other way. The Republic couldn’t afford to change all the army’s equipment, so we had to update the most important places first. "Stop arguing. I asked the people in the General Armament Department to do the math. About 1600 billion can be used to replace equipment for 00 to 30 motorized infantry divisions. Let's also discuss how to distribute the money after the transaction is completed. Money!" Hearing this, the expressions of the other three became serious, and they began to fight for the welfare of the troops under their jurisdiction.After the meeting, the Four King Kong reached an agreement. According to the calculation of 100 motorized divisions, the northwest will be divided into 1600 (15 in each military region), the southwest 16 (15 in each military region), and the southeast military region 15. Xu Shang It will be divided into 4, namely 2 in the Capital Military Region and 4 in the Northeast Military Region.Therefore, in the name of disposing of waste equipment, the Yanhuang Republic transported many old-fashioned equipment to some remote warehouses. Naturally, such a large-scale equipment transfer could not be hidden from major military intelligence agencies at home and abroad. At first, the Stars and Stripes Republic thought that the Yanhuang Republic was going to launch a landing After the battle, after careful verification, it was found that the dispatched materials were indeed obsolete materials, so I was relieved. Thirty days later, in some remote provinces of the Yanhuang Republic, uninhabited warehouses were filled with military supplies deployed according to the contract.When Wang Fan paid for the goods, the three high-tech technologies were confirmed to be real and usable. The price was 2 billion U.S. dollars, and the Heyan yellow coins were 3 billion yuan. Wang Fan still needs to pay 4 billion yuan (but his overseas accounts only have about 2 billion U.S. dollars About 2 yuan Yanhuang coins, not enough).So Wang Fan asked if he could pay part of the payment with gold. When he knew that the arms dealer could pay 30 tons of gold, the president of Yanhuang People's Bank swiped his pen and accepted it (after all, gold is more valuable as a reserve than banknotes) The advantage, but if the physical gold is purchased for a few hundred catties, it will be too troublesome, and it will easily lead to competition with the people of Yanhuang)!So it was another month of dark cloudy night, a good man waved his sleeves lightly: he short-circuited one monitoring after another, confiscated goods one after another, and shocked his eyes one after another. , leaving 30 tons of gold lying quietly in the warehouse!The next day, Director Li received another text message: The money has been paid, the goods have been received, happy cooperation, looking forward to the next transaction!
