"The army expansion will be completed in two years." He hesitated for a week before finally making up his mind and writing it into the plan for Zhang Shusheng to see.

Cai Guo also frowned slightly. With a military force of 1.8 million people, according to the most general calculation, combined with the current purchasing power of the RMB, a worker’s salary is 10 yuan a month, and a soldier’s military pay is 15 yuan a month. The military salary expenditure alone requires three

100 million RMB. Taking into account training costs, equipment requirements, etc., the annual military expenditure will reach 1.5 billion, or even more. Based on the exchange rate of RMB and US dollars in 1934, 1 RMB is about

At $15, this expense is still scary.

This is still a peacetime military budget. In 1932 and 1933, military expenditures in these two years were mainly based on the war against Japan and the war of liberation. The consumption in the liberation war was lower, and the battle consumption against the Japanese army in the Northeast was larger, but it also reached

This represents an annual military expenditure of 3 to 4 billion. This figure is after mobilizing a very large civilian logistics force.

Although the war was going smoothly, and the Southwest was rich in wealth, the two-year war did not fail due to a shortage of military expenditures or insufficient logistics. But in the long run, an army of 2.1 million people is indeed a kind of burden.[

And Zhang Shusheng also had his own considerations. "After all, China's heritage is not as deep as that of Western countries, and its reserve system is not as complete as Germany's. After the outbreak of World War II, various countries frantically expanded their armies, and the reserve system collapsed instantly, and a large number of recruits were put into the battlefield after only a short period of training.

, resulting in losses of hundreds of thousands or even millions of people.

This is the result of insufficient training of new recruits and insufficient preparation of various countries. If [China] also only maintains a regular military force of hundreds of thousands or even one million people, then after the war begins, China can only mobilize 3-

4 million people, the rest can only be expanded like crazy.

The final result is that the [Chinese] Army, like other armies of Western countries, will only see immediate benefits and will eventually hastily expand the army and send recruits who know nothing to the front line, allowing them to be shot crazily by the enemy.

"kill.

Red Soviet Russia is the most typical negative example in this regard. It is frantically expanding its army. Even when the German army was approaching Moscow and attacking Moscow, it was still frantically sending troops to the front. However, the mortality rate of these recruits was astonishingly high and their combat effectiveness was astonishing.

Although the Germans were not much better, they were still superior. The battle losses were higher, and the Russians were completely embarrassed.

As a country with an equally vast territory, "if it is only for economic development, which will lead to delayed military development," then in the future, millions or even tens of millions of people's lives will be used to fill in the mere savings for the economy today.

The retribution brought about by military spending of one billion or two billion.

Only by maintaining a considerable number of regular troops today will it be possible to expand a large-scale army on this basis in the future. If the base is too small, everything will be empty talk.

Of course, economic construction must be carried out in an all-round way, and China's rejuvenation is unstoppable. But it also requires the collective efforts of the whole country, and funds are definitely indispensable. The increase in military expenditures must find a way to compensate.

Zhang Shusheng has also thought about this aspect.

"You don't have to worry about the gap in military expenditure. I have decided to increase the annual profits of Shusheng and his wife from 1 billion to 2 billion. This is enough for our military expansion, and we can even have extra money.

Used to build reserve forces."

Zhang Shusheng did not just talk nonsense. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Shusheng Company's strength further expanded. "Although the "government" established many state-owned enterprises, Shusheng Company also relied on almost harsh terms to obtain many projects in energy, transportation, electricity, and social life.

"National strategic industry management rights, of course"

The key is to hand over extremely high profits and allocate high state shares in the corresponding companies. The country needs Shusheng Company’s huge financial resources, advanced social science and technology, and mature technical reserves. Shusheng Company needs to continue to expand. This new situation

Public-private cooperation is also a special economic development situation.

On the other hand, the total value of GP during the same period was less than 30 billion yuan, ranking only behind countries such as Germany, the Soviet Union, Britain and France. The difference from Britain and France is not big, it can be said to be very small, at least it completely surpasses Italy. This is the entire [China] country.

Southwest has made great achievements in economic construction in recent years. After all, the industrial system of Southwest is very complete, especially in

In foreign trade, advanced products represented by automobiles, mid-range electronic products, advanced medicines, daily chemicals, clothing, high-end food, arms, etc., have made astonishing profits in countries around the world without even knowing it. And machinery

Industry, New China only sells machinery at the level of Western countries, and the electronics industry only sells practical ordinary technical products.

But Shusheng Company has to bear the profit handover of 2 billion yuan. "Such a terrifying profit handover." After calculating the value of state-owned shares of these corresponding monopolistic public-private joint ventures, Shusheng Company's contribution to the new China

, even more than state-owned enterprises with the same number of companies.

"Chairman, this, this... this is not good."

Cai Guo was so shocked that he couldn't sit still. Everyone knew that Shusheng Company was the company started by the Chairman. Not to mention the Chairman's huge contribution to the new China, Shusheng Company's contribution to the new China was not mentioned.

The contribution is so huge that it is unimaginable. It can be said that "there is no such giant."

The Shusheng Company, the industrial revolution of New China, and the industrial revolution in the southwest period cannot be completed. Even if Zhang Shusheng treated Shusheng Company the same way, "managing" these national industries and providing money and technology to others, it would still be impossible.

It is also impossible to achieve this kind of efficiency in making money and development.

There is only one reason: "The fundamental difference between state-owned enterprises and private enterprises is the issue of efficiency." In the end, no matter what, they are impossible to be the same. Especially in the early stage, a huge company will constantly "

The national enterprises that are groping forward are left far behind.

But now, the Chairman of the Generalissimo has to pay for part of the military expenses out of his own pocket again. How can this be justified?

Jiang Baili also disagrees with this approach. "Chairman, although this can solve the urgent need, in the long run, it will be detrimental to Shusheng Company and the government's finances. I think we should find other ways to fill this gap. Although the Chairman is worried

It belongs to the state, but Shusheng Company is your private property. The new "government" regulations place great emphasis on protecting private property. "The chairman of the committee cannot start with this."

Jiang Baili knew that although it seemed that Shusheng Company had taken advantage of the country, it was actually the state that had taken advantage of Shusheng Company. "First there was Shusheng Company, and then there was New China. It can be said that if Shusheng Company was not Zhang Shusheng

’s, but someone else’s, then the company is suffering from the beginning to the end.

Zhang Shusheng waved his hand and said: "I have made up my mind, you don't need to say any more. I have never thought about turning Shusheng Company into a state-owned enterprise, nor have I ever thought about using the state to nourish Shusheng Company. New China and Shusheng Company

They are complementary, so there will not be a problem of who gets too much benefit and who takes too much advantage. This will be seen by hundreds of millions of Chinese people in the next hundred or thousand years. Because at that time, Shusheng Company

and "China" will be another concept, rather than being limited to one side today."

When the news of the military expansion came out, the entire People's Army was excited.

This is a special era. Who doesn’t want the country to be strong and the army to be strong? The Sino-Japanese War has just been won, the liberation situation has just been ushered in, and the people across the country are still in a state of joy, let alone the army.

The military does not consider the economy or anything else. Their greatest wish is to become stronger and stronger.

If China wants to rise, it will inevitably face many tiger and wolf enemies. Therefore, only by expanding its army and building a stronger People's Army can we defeat all enemies on the battlefield in the future.

In fact, when the earliest news of reorganization came out, many people could not sleep at night. Insightful people were afraid that after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the country would put down its military and focus on developing the economy, allowing the soldiers to remove their armor and return to their fields.

In this special era, in this era when all the people are focused on rejuvenation, if the pursuit of power and wealth is an instinct, then dedicating yourself to the country and working, studying, and fighting for the rise of New China is almost as important as

people's thoughts.

From the octogenarians to the young people studying and serving the country, they are all passionate, patriotic and dedicated.

When the news of military expansion was confirmed, everyone was thinking the same thing: the new China will become powerful just around the corner.

Because, in the minds of the people, the economy is invisible, while the strength and otherwise of the army can be concreted with some numbers.
