"Does our Shu army have such a family?" Qin Jinhong asked with a smile as his words changed.
"Commander, don't worry. Sister Liangying has long guessed that this will happen, so industries that are indispensable in people's lives or in the military are under the management of the Industrial Department of the Political Department, such as oil and various minerals. We in Sichuan The largest "family" in the territory is our Shu Army official." Xu Zhiyong said with a smile.
"That's good." Qin Jinhong nodded.
"How many people are there in the four armies of our army now?"
Xu Zhiyong thought for a while and said: "Nearly 300,000 people, each army has about 70,000 people."
"In the blink of an eye, we have 300,000 troops. We couldn't even think about it before." Qin Jinhong sighed.
"More than that, the gun ownership rate of our troops can be said to be 100% now. The grassroots commanders will be equipped with an extra pistol. With this configuration, let alone the Jiangnan Army, I am not exaggerating to say that if the little devil confronts us, we can kill him They." Xu Zhiyong stretched out his hand and said fiercely.
"Have a meeting when you go back and tell them not to slack off in training just because they think they are well equipped. Training must not fall behind!"
"Understood, I'll tell them when we get back." Xu Zhiyong nodded.
"What is Tiance doing during this time? He seems to have basically never spent much time in Tianfu."
When Xu Zhiyong heard Qin Jinhong mention Song Tiance, he waved his hand and said, "Don't mention it now. He travels between Shu and Qing Province. He goes to visit the arsenal from time to time. I heard that he went to inspect the navy yesterday."
"He hasn't changed at all, he's still so restless."
Qin Jinhong knew that Song Tiance's character was a restless person.
Don't think that Song Tiance is unimportant because Qin Jinhong always asks Xu Zhiyong about everything. In fact, Song Tiance's position is quite important. Not to mention that he is the deputy commander-in-chief of the Shu Army. He is only the position of army commander. Don't forget The main combat strength of the Shu Army now is the army, not to mention that he is also the commander of the navy. Although this position will be released sooner or later, Song Tiance is now the leader of two of the three major military services.
And he is the absolute top four leader in the Shu army.
…
After Qin Jinhong and Xu Zhiyong returned to the headquarters, Qin Jinhong called Zhou Liangying over.
"Sister Liangying." Xu Zhiyong stood up and called after Zhou Liangying came in wearing a military uniform.
"What it's for..." Zhou Liangying also responded.
"Commander, look for me." Zhou Liangying then looked at Qin Jinhong.
Zhou Liangying is always called Commander Qin Jinhong at work, but not necessarily outside of work.
"Come, sit down." Qin Jinhong smiled and raised his hand.
After Zhou Liangying sat down, Qin Jinhong took a sip of water and said, "Yesterday Zhiyong and I went to the Tianfu Military Airport and inspected it. I feel that the Air Force's military expenditures can be increased."
Although Qin Jinhong is the best commander of the Shu army and the absolute talker of the Shu army, he knows nothing about finance. Now it is all done by Zhou Liangying. It can be said that Zhou Liangying is in charge of the entire Shu army's money bag.
No, the matter of increasing military expenditure still needs to be discussed with Zhou Liangying.
"And increase military spending!"
"Do you know how much it costs the military a quarter now?"
"A total of 300 million US dollars. You have invested in the navy and increased military expenditures. Now you actually want to increase the salary of the air force. What are you going to do?"
Zhou Liangying was like a little female cat whose tail had been stepped on, dealing heavy damage to Qin Jinhong and Xu Zhiyong.
"Isn't that what you can earn..."
Qin Jinhong also knew that the expense was too high, so he felt a little unsure.
"Oh... I can just spend what I can earn. Don't I have to save some money? This is peace time. What if there is a war? Once there is a war, the military expenditure will be double or even several times the current amount. Do you know?"
"Sister Liangying, the idea of the Commander and I is not to increase the original military expenditures, but to put the irrelevant military expenditures of the Army on the Air Force."
When Xu Zhiyong saw this, he quickly stood up and started to smooth things over next to him.
"Is that so?" Zhou Liangying looked at Qin Jinhong.
"ah……"
"Yeah, that's what I mean."
Qin Jinhong nodded quickly.
"Then how did you decide? In fact, I have wanted to say it for a long time. There are indeed some things in the Army that are simply a waste."
Zhou Liangying sat down and picked up Qin Jinhong's water glass and took a sip.
"Have you ever calculated how much money you can save by cutting all this stuff down?"
Zhou Liangying thought for a while and then said: "It is about four to five percent of the total military expenditure."
"Well then, Liangying, since you think the Army has some things that are redundant, how about giving 4% of the Army's military expenditures to the Air Force?"
Qin Jinhong asked.
"Alas..." Zhou Liangying sighed: "You guys, you originally wanted to take this part out to do something else, but now it's better."
"Okay, then it's decided." Qin Jinhong slapped the table, and the matter was decided.
"Hey, by the way, Liangying, how much money can we make every year?" Qin Jinhong asked.
"It's about more than three billion every year. After all kinds of expenditures are taken out, there will be only a little over one billion left."
"I'll go, how much?" Xu Zhiyong stood up at that time and his eyes widened.
Qin Jinhong had just taken a sip of water and almost spit it out.
"How many?"
"Sister Liangying, more than three billion US dollars? I'll take it if it's real or fake." Xu Zhiyong said in disbelief.
Zhou Liangying looked at the two of them speechlessly with speechless expressions.
"You two really don't care. Not to mention anything else, the net profit from the textile industry to our coffers every month is nearly 100 million, not to mention that we are also selling arms in South Asia and Europe, which has also brought us The revenue is huge, I don’t know this year, but the revenue in the past six months has reached 2.1 billion U.S. dollars.”
"Commander...we are so rich..." Xu Zhiyong turned to look at Qin Jinhong in disbelief.
"Ahem..." Qin Jinhong coughed twice, and then said: "That good man..."
"Wait a minute!" Zhou Liangying directly retorted Qin Jinhong's words without waiting for Qin Jinhong to speak, and then slowly uttered two words.
"No money!"
Qin Jinhong:......
…
Although the money was not requested, the three-person meeting decided on the future distribution of military expenditures for the army.
The original 75% military expenditure of the Army was reduced to 71%.
The original 20 percent of the Air Force increased to 24 percent.
Don’t look at just this 4%, even 4% has tens of millions.
The remaining military expenditure belongs to the navy, and because the navy is still in the preliminary construction stage, only 5%.
After all, the warships of the Shu Army can only be trained in Jianghe, and it does not cost so much.
