Chapter 118 What is the use of me, Ye Xiangkun?!
Although Ye Kai is doubtful about the combat effectiveness of the army, he will not say anything about this issue.
Even as the actual family of the Military Commission, the second old man could not be able to control the army like an arm. It is because the small mountainism prevails.
The top -down promotion reform will also be extremely powerful, not to mention the dislike of the promotion of the modernization of this army, and even the consensus will not even reach the high -level.
In the impression of Ye Kai, peaceful rise is difficult, and no powerful country can not follow the path of expanding external expansion.
The market occupation, the means is relatively much, but the essence is the same.
For example, in the United States, the huge benefit support of the arms dealers is to promote the main driving force of the U.S. military to continue to expand the road.
The US military base provides drinking services, accompanied by the monopoly occupation of the local market, and the huge wealth of wealth.
In China, due to the restrictions in all aspects, there is no formation of the SI people Xing's arms monopoly group, so everyone does not have much motivation in this regard. It is not enough to rely on the benefits generated by changing or daily consumption.
Therefore, no interest groups can promote the army and take the initiative to move towards modernization. Because of their own problems, the military has always been worried that they will be suppressed in political struggles, so they are not willing to take the initiative to take the initiative to take the responsibility.
Over time, an iron -blooded division was finally ignored between the heroes, and even foreign media asserted that in terms of navy power, the military power of the Republic is not as good as a few small countries around the South China Sea, let alone the neighbors such as Japan and South Korea.
Although this makes people feel disgusting after listening, there are also many national conniliated people who are anti -chun, saying that they underestimate the military power of the Republic. We have nuclear bombs and nuclear submarines, and intercontinental missiles.
In the sea, it is far from a group of small nations that can be compared.
However, it is estimated that most people have doubts about this, except for nuclear bombs, nuclear submarines,
In addition to intercontinental missiles, what else can we pull out?
"A Gulf War woke up a lot of people!" The second old man said with some emotion.
Before the Gulf War was outbreak, many people were optimistic about Iraq. Saddam was known as the Soviet -made armed forces of the male soldiers.
It is said that this power is not a problem to sweep the Middle East. Saddam's ambition is to become the hegemony of the Middle East and drive the Western forces out.
The United States is away. In order to understand the rescue of the suffering Kuwait people, he sent three aircraft carrier battle groups in danger of life.
The result of the war was beyond everyone's expectations. Iraq almost did not organize any resistance. In addition to the launch of several missiles to the SE columns, it was shot down by the opponent.
Losted the helmet and abandoned the armor, and fled back to Baghdad all the way.
A "Desert Storm" changed the minds of many military observers, and the military's information age has arrived!
There are many domestic discussions on this series of issues, and the same is true within the military.
It's just that under the slogan of peaceful rise that the top leaders insist on seeking stability at this stage, although the modernization of the military is being pushed hard, it has not achieved results. Navy and air power are still the shortcomings of the Republic's army. Lack of money is naturally one of the reasons. The economic blockade is also one of the reasons.
One of the reasons, but the most important thing is that everyone does not feel that they have fallen behind and will be beaten. They still stay in the imagination that my army is sweeping the world and the Americans have to retreat.
"An army without fighting is sad. When it faced the small country of Annan, the Republic's army suffered repeated setbacks. The younger generation of generals could not grow up, and the soldiers lacked combat experience. As a result, they suffered heavy casualties. In the end, they had to use veteran generals to fight.
Let's go back to the game." The second old man couldn't help but sigh a little as he thought about the old days.
"The Americans have done a very good job in this regard. They use war to support war, but they don't worry much about funding. When they fight wars, they make money, and it's paid for by others. After the Gulf War, the military has been tempered.
The technology has been tested, the weapons have been gorgeously displayed, the arms dealers' pockets are full, and in the end, Kuwait and Japan themselves foot the bill. Is there anything more satisfying than this?" Ye Kai counted with his fingers.
The second old man also said, "We are still tight on high-end equipment, but we haven't done enough in the modernization of conventional weapons. Now it seems to be a mistake."
Uncle Li interjected, "We have no war to fight. Conventional weapons naturally only need to be maintained. Without an application market, there is naturally no motivation for research and development. This problem is indeed a headache."
"Actually, the main problem is the balance of naval and air power. We are inferior to the small neighboring countries. Once a major conflict occurs, how can we calm the maritime borders?" Ye Kai pointed out the most important issue: "Americans all
The world is domineering. Isn’t it because people’s naval and air forces are strong and they only engage in overseas operations without worrying about being beaten? So this time I invested in building a shipbuilding base near Mingzhu City to change this situation. At least for us
How many aircraft carriers will be needed?"
"It's easier said than done!" The second old man shook his head and said, "Navy Commander Liu also mentioned this before, and even went to the United States to inspect the aircraft carrier. At that time, the Americans were also very interested and considered providing us with conveniences, but later Nanmen
After the incident, the relationship between everyone became very tense, so we stopped talking about this matter. The most important thing is that the investment is huge. An aircraft carrier costs nearly 10 billion, and the country cannot afford it!"
"It won't work if we don't do it. If we don't do it now, how about waiting twenty years later?" Ye Kai suddenly stood up, opened the curtain on the large maritime map in the second old man's room, pointed with his finger and said with some excitement, "
Here, the Japanese people are noisy every day, saying that this is their inherent territory.
Here, Annan Kingdom keeps harassing and injuring our fishermen many times. Here, the small country of the Philippines in the South China Sea is also restless and is willing to act as a pawn for the Americans and challenge the power of our republic. Here, here, and here, look around the sea and find
Get a quiet place?!"
The Republic has thousands of miles of maritime territory, from the northeast to the southwest, and under Ye Kai's guidance, there is not a single place where there are no territorial disputes!
"Yes," the second old man rubbed his forehead and said with some excitement, "If we don't make a decision now, will we leave the problem to our descendants twenty years from now? In this case, what use will I, Ye Xiangkun, have?!"
What’s the use of Lou Ye Xiangkun?!
Amid internal and external troubles, the second old man, as the actual person in charge of the Military Commission, finally spoke out his voice!
Life for the traditional forces in the military is actually not easy.
After the Wenzhi faction officials took over the central government, the military's power has been suppressed. Comrade Fang He's judgment of the international trend was indeed accurate, and he determined that no major war would break out in the next twenty years, and the country should concentrate on economic construction.
, make the country prosperous and strong, and improve the lives of the people.
This judgment is indeed very powerful, and the reality is indeed true. Nowadays, people's lives have been improved. Whether their lives are good or not can be clearly seen by comparing them with neighboring countries.
However, with the transfer of power, and after the voices of the Wenzhi faction officials in the central government became stronger and stronger, they were no longer very concerned about the construction of the army. Most of them maintained the current plan and focused on the construction of naval and air forces.
Even more so, they are reluctant to spend money, and at the same time they are worried that the increase in military expenditure will stimulate neighboring countries, trigger a new round of arms race, and a backlash from the Americans.
This starting point cannot be said to be wrong. It is definitely not possible to engage in an arms race. The Soviet Union was so powerful, wasn't it also brought down by the Americans? The Republic certainly cannot repeat their mistakes.
After thinking about it, Mr. Ye had only one solution in his mind.
"Xiao Kai, since you dare to build a large shipbuilding base around Mingzhu City, let me ask you, how much funds do you have available?" The second old man asked Ye Kai with bright eyes.
"On the premise that it does not affect my investment plan..., there are 200 million US dollars that can be used. If I wait for two years and wait until my investment plan... takes effect, billions of dollars will still be a drop in the bucket." Ye Kai no longer concealed it, and said
I slightly revealed my family background to the second old man.
"You made so much money last time by speculating on crude oil futures?!" The second old man and Uncle Li were both a little shocked when they heard this.
Although they knew that Ye Kai made money, they did not expect that he made so much.
But after knowing this situation, the second old man also made a decision in his heart: "Okay! There are always several big things to do in a person's life! You will provide the money, and I will find the people! In addition, you can dig them from the Black Sea Shipyard
The people who come back should be able to afford a large shipyard! You are right, the aircraft carrier will be built now, otherwise, what will we do to defend our thousands of miles of sea territory twenty years from now?!"
After a pause, the second old man decided, "I don't think it's a big deal at the Military Enterprise Si Camp. In order to facilitate this, even if I step down from the position of deputy chief of the Military Commission in advance, what's wrong with that?"
Ye Kai listened for a moment, but he didn't expect that the second old man was so determined. In order to facilitate this matter, he was even willing to give up the most popular position at the moment!
Deputy Chief of the Military Commission, the actual person in charge of the military, this price is really high!
