Chapter 633: Allowance! Beyond Visual Range War!
Song Qiansheng and Xu Wenlan came back once every six years. Cao Dongfang only saw Xu Wenlan and the two children for about two months and didn't feel that they had changed much!
Song Qiansheng believes that Song Qianli, Song Qianguo and Song Xianxian have all undergone significant changes, and the military aura of Song Qianli and Song Qianguo is basically gone.
Now there is just a little more atmosphere among ordinary people and literati.
"Dongfang, the fighting in the Monkey Kingdom is so intense right now, shouldn't we just do nothing about it?" Song Qiansheng asked.
"Dongfang won't care. Even if he does, he will only help the Southern Monkey to fight the Northern Monkey!" Song Qianli already knew what Cao Dongfang was thinking.
"Dongfang, why?" Song Qiansheng didn't understand.
"Geopolitically and in the Northern Monkey Country, the current leader is more pro-Russian than Chinese. What if we help the Northern Monkey Country to unify the Monkey Country, and it attacks Chinese under the instigation of the Russians?"
"No way! We are helping them like this..." Song Qiansheng was not sure.
"Think about the North Koreans. There is no such thing as betrayal in this world. It's just that the price they offer is not high enough!
They all think that the Russians are stronger than our country, so it is normal for them to join the Russians.
Therefore, in my eyes, the weaker other countries are, the better. There is no other relationship. They can only be a barrier for us.
If they want to be something else, they need to have that ability!
"It seems so. We really helped North Korea too much. They have stationed heavy troops at the Yalu River. They are such scoundrels!" Song Qiansheng admitted.
"So it's better to have weaknesses. If they dare to poke me, we can kill them with one slap. It's enough to have a bear on our border. Other countries should not come to cause trouble!"
"Dongfang, you are now the deputy minister. From your speeches, the lower-level officers in the army think you will go to war with other countries?
They all hope that you will go to war. They really want to fight a few battles! "Song Qiansheng smiled.
"It's unlikely. I'm dealing with the Monkey Kingdom so they can't take care of our country.
"If these two places were quiet, it would mean our country would not have to fight a war for 50 years. It would be so boring for me to be a soldier!"
The Russian bear won’t last more than two thousand years!
"I really hope to fight a battle!" said Song Qiansheng.
"Why fight a war! Isn't it good to live a stable life?" said the mother-in-law.
"Live a peaceful life and don't fight. I'll listen to you!" Song Qiansheng said with a smile.
“Liar!”
.......
"Dongfang, are you going to replace the equipment for our hospital? Xianxian is encouraging you!" Mo Jinlan asked.
"It's not Xianxian. I just heard her say that your hospital's hardware facilities are outdated and you decided to replace all the major hospitals in our country, especially the military hospitals, with new medical equipment. It has nothing to do with Xianxian!"
"There are military hospitals and national hospitals, how much money will that cost!"
"Less than 52 billion Eagle Sauce coins, not much!"
"Fifty twenty billion is not a lot. The army is so rich!" Mo Jinlan was very surprised.
"It's not the army's money, it's money I picked up myself. It's not even one-third of the money I gave to the country to buy equipment. What's the extra money?"
"You are so rich! You can spend all that money in Western countries and destroy their economy!"
"I can't destroy the economies of Western countries any more. I have caused several big countries to regress by more than ten years. If I continue to destroy them, those countries will go bankrupt.
It's too easy for the Mao bears. This won't work. The East and the West need a balance. Only when they are evenly matched will they not pay attention to our country! "
"Fifty twenty billion, Xianxian, how much money is this? Can you count it?" Mo Jinlan asked with a smile.
"Dongfang has a lot of money. I know that money is just like waste paper and has no use. Dongfang is buying medical equipment for the people!"
"Dongfang, if you keep playing like this, it seems that many countries will be in trouble!" Song Qianli said with a smile.
"We are almost done with this. We can take a few years off and deal with the surrounding countries during these years!"
"It's better to deal with the surrounding countries, they are not good people! After the hospital, it's that industry! You are ready to help!"
"The army! The income of the soldiers in the army should at least be increased. Let's start with the soldiers' food expenses and allowances!"
"The army is too large to be dealt with!"
"Not much. Starting from January 1st next year, the allowances of the 3.7 million troops nationwide will be increased by 5 yuan per person per month! The food allowance will also increase by 5 yuan per person per month.
Officer salaries start at 10 yuan for second lieutenants, and increase by 10 yuan for each level.
Each military academy will increase its education funding by at least 10 million yuan each year, and there are other plans.
All of this costs no more than 2 billion per year.
This amount of money is not much. I can pay it for more than a hundred years. The military also sells arms every year, so it has a surplus of several hundred million or even more than ten billion.
Shouldn't it be kept as war reparations if it's not spent?
Moreover, the country is carrying out economic construction.
The army cannot engage in business, but can we raise funds? I use technology to exchange for money, 5 billion a year is not difficult! "
"The country has just raised wages, and you are raising wages for the military. Does the country agree?" Song Qiansheng asked.
"Qiansheng can get a big raise this time, seventy yuan, which is much more than our five yuan salary and ten yuan subsidy!" Xu Wenlan said with a smile.
“I agree. It’s fine to use my money to increase the allowance in the name of the state.
Even if I don’t have money, I can buy a steel plant abroad for tens of billions, and the country will not lose out!
“It seems that Dongfang, you were right to go to the Ministry of National Defense. Soldiers’ allowances have not increased since 55.
Our country will only have 3.7 million soldiers left by the beginning of next year, and this time another 500,000 troops will be cut! "Song Qiansheng said.
"It is useless to have too many troops, especially the army. We will have to reduce the number of troops in the future. It would be more appropriate for our army to have two million.
There are too many soldiers. The missiles and planes were not built in vain. Now is not the time to pile up people.
The era of 'beyond visual range warfare' has arrived! ″
.......
"Dongfang, what is 'beyond visual range warfare'!" Song Qianli didn't understand.
"Beyond visual range combat refers to the process of attacking enemy targets at a distance that is too far to be observed by the naked eye and requires the use of electronic equipment to detect and lock onto the target.
For example, my country's current airborne radars can detect enemy aircraft and targets dozens of kilometers away.
Locking and missile strikes,
There are satellites in the sky, and we can monitor them at any time when we fight against the Monkey Kingdom.
If your army dares to mobilize on a large scale, expect to be bombed and attacked by our missiles and aircraft.
The five major weapons systems all have "beyond visual range combat" tools such as satellites and radars.
So the "beyond visual range war" has arrived, with large-scale assaults at the army, corps, and division levels, and it is possible to attack small countries.
Problems arise when the five major forces fight each other, and there are issues of rebound, air defense, and defense against the opponent's artillery units.
The problem is, how many small countries dare to go to war with our country! "Cao Dongfang explained.
"That's true, but it would be boring for soldiers if they don't fight!" Song Qiansheng felt helpless.
"These have nothing to do with us. They are your military affairs. Come, let's do one!" Song Qianguo didn't care.
"Haha, that's all. You still have the nerve to say you were a soldier. How shameful!" Song Xianxian caught Song Qianguo's braid again.
"Hahaha, Xianxian, you just find fault with Qian Guo every day! Qian Guo is so unlucky to have you here!" Song Qianli laughed.
"Oh, I'm used to it and don't care about such a small matter!" Song Qianguo was really used to it.
"Haha, you are so generous, call me sister, let me hear it!"
"Don't even think about it! Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
"Song Xianxian, drink your wine. Every day you either make me angry or bully Qian Guo! Be careful or I will beat you up!" The mother-in-law was angry again.
"I'm ignoring you, Song Qianguo! Mom, stop favoring Song Qianguo in the future, or you'll get old!"
“Whether I’m old or not has nothing to do with you!” the mother-in-law would say.
"Okay! I'll eat, Mom, you're so boring!"
"It's none of your business if I'm bored!"
