Chapter 701: Change! Thoughts! Decorations!
“Dongfang, you mean the world will undergo another big change in the 80s and 90s.
This change is very unfavorable to our country. What will it be? Will the Russian bear really have problems?
You said before that you are sure that the construction will only last until the 90s! "The old coach of the Northwest asked.
"I was 80% sure before, but now I am almost 100%. My palpitations are a warning from the heavens. This is an ability of the 'Heavenly Realm'.
Superstitious people say that God was warning me, but my intuition is an ability, and ordinary people have intuition.
The key point is that I spent two days on simulation, and when our navy was used, only the Russian bear was defeated.
The Western navy is the strongest, and as they have more countries, they also have more warships. If the Russian bear does not fall, if a few of theirs fall, it will not be a bad thing for our navy.
If the Russian bear really falls, they will lose their biggest enemy and then they will deal with us. The Westerners can directly threaten our country with their navy!
They are surrounding our country from all directions, including the Foot Basin, the Universe Country, the Nanny Country, the Indians, the Southern Monkeys, and the Mud Monkeys.
Island chain blockade, naval blockade, and naval provocation.
Should we resist or go to war? The navy is very important at this time!
"The fall of the Russian bear is a big deal. Have you talked about this with your superiors? Who else?" the old Northwestern commander asked seriously.
"In the reform report, there are old coaches and others!"
"You kid, why do you firmly believe that the wooly bear will fall!"
"Economic laws, the Russian bear is implementing the wartime economy of the bearded boss, and the corn husband failed to change it and stepped down.
Nothing has changed since Brother Medal came to power. Now the prices of minerals in the world market have increased, the Russian economy has improved, and Brother Medal is increasing national welfare.
He is winning people's hearts and pushing the Russian bear into a dead end. The Russian bear is almost certain to die.
The economy must at least walk on two legs. If it walks on one leg, isn’t that lame?
That's how people are.
The same goes for the economy.
This is the fundamental thing I want to change, both public and private. The state sets the rules and emphasizes supervision, rather than playing the game personally.
In a war involving millions of people, who will be the commander-in-chief? They have to go and command! "
.......
“I see, no wonder there are three supervisory and management departments, including you, making it four.
Did the government go to factories to play before? Now it is changing!
"Of course. What does a factory produce? What is the annual output? The state has clear regulations. They are not the factory directors.
If we continue like this, we will be like Zhuge Liang, taking care of everything, no matter how big or small. This will affect our health.
This is not the Three Kingdoms era, so we should not pass on our skills to outsiders. Our country is much bigger than Shu Province, and we cannot manage it all! "
"I see. This is your way of saying 'do your job well'!
After you took over the power in the department, work efficiency has increased a lot. Both Lao Yang and Lao Duan told me about this last year.
They and the people below them have work to do, and they will take the initiative to work, which is good, but you are a bit lazy. It's been a year, and you haven't been to the army! "
"I feel wronged. I have never been to that border defense unit. I just went there a few days ago. I have worked so hard, but it is thankless!" Cao Dongfang said pitifully.
"Don't play the victim, you've done a great job this year! But you still have to go to the army.
Lao Yang and others also talked about this problem of yours? They just don’t want to have more power! This will alienate the officers and soldiers! "
“I will go, for example, to the larger exercises and the launch of the Navy’s first frigate.
As for the other inspected troops you mentioned, I can use my spiritual sense to see them, and I have asked the people in the training department to keep checking the situation of each troop.
There is no need to go to the troops in person. There is really no need for a minister at this level. Our army has training regulations and it only takes a certain standard to meet them! "
"You are different from us, and maybe you are right. We are old-fashioned officers who attach great importance to going down to the grassroots.
It's hard to say whether it's good or bad. The relationship between senior military officers and local troops is not easy to handle! "
"With the training regulations, we have a goal. Good training will be rewarded, and unsatisfactory training will be replaced.
This is the power of the Training Department, and they are responsible for monitoring the training results of each unit.
The Logistics Department is responsible for the logistics of the army. They are not needed in wars. The times have changed.
We cannot let these departments become decorations. We only take care of the national security in the general direction, and the specific operations are carried out by the army, division, and regiment! "
"I'm retired now and don't care about these things. You must be right. Your vision is broader than that of our generation.
You are determined not to mingle with the officers and soldiers. You should have your own ideas! "
"That's good!"
......
"East, is there no west and southwest in this national reform? I heard this from an old subordinate. I was in the northwest before the founding of the country!"
“It’s not that the country doesn’t have enough money, but more importantly, the economy in the northwest and southwest is too bad.
The state gave them some factory equipment, but their environment is not suitable for change now.
It starts with the simple and ends with the difficult. The country is not yet rich.... The main reason is that there is a severe shortage of talent, and the water shortage in the northwest is too serious...
The terrain in the southwest is complex and there is not enough talent there. It is not appropriate to reform now! "
"I know the Northwest is short of water, but is there nothing we can do now? Isn't there a South-to-North Water Diversion Project? How about diverting water to the Northwest?"
"It's not possible now, mainly because we are now diverting water from the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River to the Beihua Plain and Dongshan Peninsula, because the terrain is low and water flows to the low places.
It is not possible to go to the northwest because the terrain in the northwest is high, so water needs to be drawn from the upper reaches of the river, which involves several problems.
Survey the terrain and divert water from upstream! Here again there are issues of feasibility.
The most important thing is that a lot of money is needed. If you don’t have hundreds of billions of funds, don’t even think about it.
There are mountains everywhere there, so it would be difficult to dig a canal manually. We need to investigate these.
Finally, the country will approve the plan, and don’t even think about it for another ten years.
Therefore, the South-to-North Water Diversion Project cannot be completed in this century. Money and technological breakthroughs are very important!
"Alas, I have been in the Northwest for several years, and I also hope that it will be well developed! The problem seems very complicated!" The old coach of the Northwest was also helpless.
“In fact, the old coach is worrying too much. The cities and counties in the northwest are not too bad. They are also workers, and their wages will increase along with other workers.
The water shortage in their big cities is not serious, it's just that the country has little money so it distributes water first to the east and then to the west.
In recent years, there have been more materials in the east, so they will inevitably be diverted to the west. A few years later than in the east, life will get better there.
They are just some rural areas with a severe water shortage and underdeveloped agriculture.
Once we have money, we will solve the problems in the western region.
I have seen all of this this year. Our country is so large that it is impossible to achieve even distribution. A few years later is no big deal! "
"Well, I know you're right, but I'm still worried about the poverty there. The east is doing well now, and the south seems to be better than the north! Why?"
“Environment, Southerners value business, look at the performance of our universities in both the north and the south.
A factory can support a family. There are more factories in the south than in the north, and they also employ more idle people.
In this way, their economic level is higher than that of the North! "
“The difference between people!”
“Correct! Think differently!”
"I understand. I'll go back first and not disturb you at work. I'll go back after the New Year! Goodbye Dongfang!"
"Please go slowly, I'll take you there. Take care of yourself. Come over if you have time. I'm not busy!" Cao Dongfang said.
“Hahaha, you must take care of yourself, I need to travel around the country more.
As for you not being busy, that's your theory again. If you are idle, the country will be peaceful! If you are busy, the country will have many problems. I know that.
I agree with this statement. No matter how busy you are, the country must be safe! "The old coach smiled.
"Don't worry, Marshal, I will ensure national security!"
"I feel relieved to leave everything to you!" The old commander smiled and left!
Cao Dongfang could see that the old coach was very satisfied with himself and the country and knew what was important.
As for the reforms in the northwest and southwest a few years later, I also know why. I feel relieved and relaxed.
This is very good. An old man can relax in his last period of time and see how the empire he and his comrades have worked so hard to build is developing.
Such a good thing.
After seeing the old commander off, Cao Dongfang called a meeting, as the old commander’s affairs could not be forgotten.
This is one of the old commander's few private matters, and it is for the sake of the villagers in his hometown.
Not excessive.
These old revolutionary places and the leaders’ hometowns should also be developed. They are all heroes to us.
The meeting was quickly passed and the army engineering corps was to do the construction, with all expenses paid by Cao Dongfang in the name of the state.
Cao Dongfang talked to his superiors and they agreed! There is no leader who doesn’t want his hometown to be better.
Three hundred million a year.
