Chapter 2659 Expansion
John Niu had a background in finance and is now the Minister of Finance of a country, so of course he is good at calculation.With ready-made paper and pen in front of him, he began to calculate under the watchful eyes of everyone. "On average, there are about seven people in each Chinese family. China now has 20 million people, which means that there are about 60 families. Now, each pair of parents has about three children... [-] years later, even if Both the older generation of the family died, and the family already had two more people. By analogy, it only takes [-] years for the population of our country to double. This does not include the improvement of medical methods and the improvement of living standards. Mortality factor..."

Niu John's calculation ability is super strong, and his logical thinking ability is not bad. He explained while calculating, so even Feng Yuxiang, who calls himself a "rough man", quickly understood the meaning of the numbers that jumped out of the paper. And what kind of pressure it will bring to the country.

After the population was calculated, the next step was the number of fields needed. Before he could calculate it, many people present could not hold their breath.

"It seems that we have no choice!" Zhang Xueliang said with emotion.

"We can't just wait for our children and grandchildren to have nothing to eat one day. Now that we have such an opportunity, we must firmly grasp it."

...Everyone said what they said, and they had no objection to the principles and principles of the current government led by Ouyang Yun in handling international affairs.As for John Niu, it was his first time to calculate such a subject, so when the results came out, he was shocked first.Then he said to Ouyang Yun without waiting for other people's urging: "Prime Minister, although the national finances are tight, there are ways to solve them. Last year's treasury bond received a very good response, and when the one-year treasury bond is about to expire, I thought that the second issue of treasury bonds could be issued and the treasury bond market could be opened at the same time.”

"How much are you going to issue this time?" Ouyang Yun asked.

"50 billion students."

"50 billion yuan? Can it be sold?" Among the crowd, Li Jiayu was a bit more economical. He exclaimed first, and then asked.

Ouyang Yun looked at John Niu with a puzzled expression.As the head of the coalition government, he certainly knows the current economic situation of the country, so he has a lot of doubts about the figure of 50 billion.

"Of course it is impossible to have such a large purchasing power in China, but don't forget, we still have European and American markets. Foreign Minister Song, do you think that if we propose to sell treasury bonds in Washington, Hanoi and New Delhi, the United States and the United Kingdom will still What would the French government do?"

"France and the United Kingdom should not obstruct it. If the United States, if this national debt is for my country to send troops to Australia again, they have no reason to refuse."

"According to my statistics, China can consume [-] billion yuan, Washington should be able to consume [-] billion yuan, and the remaining [-] billion yuan should be shared by Britain and France."

"Will foreigners buy it?" Feng Yuxiang asked hesitantly. He is not very good at economics, and he doesn't really know the rules of flying overseas with national debt.Of course, he didn't want to appear too idiotic, so he asked this question carefully.

"I definitely wouldn't buy it before, but now, as long as the prime minister sends telegrams to President Roosevelt, Prime Minister Churchill and General Ambers, we won't allow them not to buy it," John Niu said, his tone unprecedentedly confident.

"Then what are you waiting for? Since you can borrow money from foreigners to strengthen yourself, why not do it?" Zhang Xueliang roared.

Among those present, if you have to say who is the most repulsive to use troops overseas, it must be Zhang Xueliang.And the reason why he has this attitude has something to do with his yearning to fight back to the three eastern provinces. "We lost the three provinces in the Northeast. If we can get them back, although we won't be able to make amends, we will still have an explanation for the dead ancestors." This is what he said at a gathering of former Northeast Army generals after drinking too much.Through these words, it is not difficult to see how deep his heart is about fleeing without fighting.Ouyang Yun or the decision made by the Supreme Command cannot be opposed by himself. In this case, he can only hope that the country will not spend all its savings on foreign wars and save some capital for him to recover the three eastern provinces.Now, since John Niu has a way to make money from foreigners, he naturally hopes that the more the better.

"Can the last one-year national debt be repaid?" Chen Cheng asked at this time.

"It has been prepared for a long time. It is not easy to establish the credibility of the government. Now that the people trust us, we must of course live up to this trust. The Prime Minister has ordered that the money not be used under any circumstances."

Ouyang Yun looked at Song Ziwen and said: "That's the decision, Minister Song, you are responsible for contacting the US, British and French governments. By the way, you can confirm with them the attendance of the 'Two Roads Conference' to be held next month .”

"Forget it!" Song Ziwen bowed his body and nodded.

The Supreme Command in the meeting room at Lianglukou plans to hold an international military conference of allied countries in order to discuss the current war situation and further clarify the responsibilities of each country on the major battlefields.At the same time, Ouyang Yun also intends to discuss the preparations for the establishment of the United Nations at this meeting, hoping that the United Nations can lease Chinese land to build a permanent office.

The money for military expansion has been obtained, and the next step is the specific military expansion measures.Song Ziwen and Niu Yuehan were very responsible, and they got up and resigned after Chen Cheng raised this topic.After they left, the atmosphere in the meeting room suddenly became hot.

Under the coalition government system, although the issue of privatization of the military no longer exists, the division of factions still exists.And because Ouyang Yun had made it clear that he would retire after the war, others who wanted to go further or even a few steps had to consider the issue of power distribution in the cloudless era, and gradually paid more attention to military power.

"The first to eighth armies, as well as the Taiwan army, the Northwest army, and the Marine Corps are all fully staffed, so they are not within the scope of this military expansion. As for adding a new army under the framework of the National Defense Forces, it is still a few dissatisfied staff. The group army is full, everyone can discuss the pros and cons first," this is what Ouyang Yun said when he announced that the meeting had entered the second topic.The First to Eighth Group Armies, Taiwan, the Northwest Group Army, and the Marine Corps all belong to the army under the Xuebing Army, while the National Defense Forces include the Ninth to No.20 First Group Army, and the Chongqing Group Army.

Among the Ninth to No.20 First Army, the Ninth Army evolved from the original Xingui Clan, the No.17 Army evolved from the original Jinsui Army, and the No.18 Army evolved from the original Communist Army , No.20 and No.20 First Group Army evolved from the original Sichuan Army, and the others were adapted from the original Central Army.However, in the records of the Supreme Command, all the group armies under the National Defense Forces have a certain degree of lack of organization.It is only natural that the military chiefs attending the meeting had a quarrel over the expansion of the quota.
