Chapter 649: Historical Deviation (I)
When Zhang Yang's special plane flew to Beijing, the Ministry of National Defense held a press conference, and Zhang Yang already knew about this press conference from the prime minister, and it was not clear what Zhang Yang was about the specific content. However, Zhang Yang's special plane had a TV on it, so Zhang Yang still watched the whole process of the press conference.
"Hello journalists, I am Jiang Yun, spokesman of the Ministry of National Defense." A colonel in his thirties, at the beginning of the press conference directly walked on the rostrum, the Ministry of National Defense held a relatively small number of press conferences, generally when held, all the heavyweights come out, such as now inexplicably appeared a press spokesman is almost never the case, but the following reporters after a moment of stunned know that today's press conference must have a lot of highlights.
"Today's press conference is only to announce some revisions to the specific national defense policy of the Republic, and will not answer any questions from reporters. After Jiang Yun came up, he first announced the meeting with a serious face, and then took out a document in his hand.
"In order to respond to the call of the U.S. government and make a significant contribution to the world's cybersecurity forces, the Republican Council passed a resolution to continue to invest 120 billion RMB in the construction of the Republic's defense network from the second half of this year to the first half of next year!" Jiang Yun's announcement was like dropping a bomb on the venue.
All the reporters thought they had heard it wrong, and you must know that although the military expenditure of the Republic of China has increased a lot in the past two years, the military expenditure of the Republic last year was only about 240 billion yuan, that is, about $30 billion in military spending, and now the construction of the national defense network alone has increased by nearly $15 billion! So if you take into account other normal expenses, what will the increase be in military spending?
"Second, between 08 and 10 years, the republic will continue to disarm about 400,000 people, but at the same time as disarmament, it will increase the special operations forces! And increase the power of information warfare and other related aspects! Jiang Yun announced a second news.
The following reporter immediately began to tap on his notebook, the number of the republic's army is not much, but now the number of disarmament is 400,000 again, this number has made the number of the republic's army basically reach a historical minimum, of course, modern warfare is about science and technology, sometimes in fact, there are hundreds of thousands of people, how much more combat effectiveness is, it is really not necessarily, especially after the equipment is updated, reasonable disarmament, and to ensure the reasonable distribution of the army, combat effectiveness will not be reduced much.
And now although it has been disarmed, it is not said where these soldiers will go after the disarmament, and according to the proportion of population and economic strength, the proportion of military personnel in the republic is actually very low. Therefore, these soldiers can be raised, the difference is where these people will go after disarmament, this is an unknown, in fact, Zhang Yang does not know whether these people are really disarmed, or keep it for other purposes, but Zhang Yang has a hunch that this disarmament is probably just to lower the vigilance of the Western world, and increase investment in other aspects.
After all, if such an increase in military spending is as stated by the current spokesman of the Ministry of Defense, the military spending of the Republic will increase by at least 100 percent this year! This magnitude is somewhat terrifying, especially since the world is a peaceful world today, and a rash increase in military spending can easily cause military action by other countries.
“…… As one of the permanent members of the UN Security Council, the world's second largest economy, the world's largest exporter, the world's second largest importer, the world's largest foreign exchange reserves, and the world's fastest-growing economic development country, the world's third largest land area, more than 18,400 kilometers of coastline, and more than 20,000 kilometers of coastline ....... After a pause, Jiang Yun began to read out the document in his hand again.
Listening to this beginning, Zhang Yang's face immediately became strange, after saying so much in the front, Zhang Yang is sure that there is definitely shocking news in the back, otherwise, the above will definitely not announce in front of China so much information that can be said to be known to people all over the world.
“…… As a country in the forefront of the world's ocean area and land area, the Republic's naval construction has always been in the middle and lower reaches of the world, and the Republic, as a responsible world power, has decided to speed up the construction of the Republic's navy and speed up the Republic's navy from the yellow water navy to the blue water navy. Let the Republic Navy move from light blue to dark blue as soon as possible. To this end, the Republic will issue to China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation () and China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation (I) the construction of a total of 4 nuclear-powered aircraft carriers! Jiang Yun finally said the most important news.
When he heard the news, Zhang Yang couldn't help but jump up directly from his chuáng! China is finally going to have an aircraft carrier, this news China has not known how long it has been waiting for generations, and today it finally came, although this news was not too surprising to Zhang Yang, but there was still a big surprise.
You know, it's only 07 years! It has been more than two years ahead of schedule since it was reported in the previous life that China was going to build an aircraft carrier! In other words, Zhang Yang single-handedly let China start building aircraft carriers two years ahead of schedule! Two years may be almost a flash in the air for a country's naval construction, but two years is enough to change a lot, especially if the shipyard is allowed to speed up construction, maybe in four or five years, China's first aircraft carrier group will be able to sail on the seas.
In his previous life, Zhang Yang saw a lot of posts on the Internet, saying that modern aircraft carriers are useless and the like, that building an aircraft carrier can build thirty advanced destroyers, and that the current high-speed development of missile fish and so on has basically made the aircraft carrier a coffin at sea, but everyone ignores one of the most important things! Only with an aircraft carrier can you be qualified, or have the strength, to compete with others for air supremacy!
Thirty advanced modern destroyers may be able to destroy an aircraft carrier formation with its attack, but can thirty modern destroyers compete for air supremacy? The answer doesn't need to be said at all, maybe now every country in the world has the ability to destroy the opponent's aircraft carrier formation, but if you don't have it, people won't even save it! Now the war is a war in the sky! With a limited range of fighter jets, an aircraft carrier is something that every country that wants to go out must have!
In the last life, many people knew that in the South China Sea of the Republic, why can countries such as Vietnam and the Philippines repeatedly provoke the behemoth China on the ownership of islands in the South China Sea? China's navy is just a light blue navy, and that's the most critical point!
Just like what Zhang Yang once said to the next No. 1 leader, whether it is Zhang Yang or the leader of China, everyone likes the famous words of the American president, where is the nearest aircraft carrier formation! This is a kind of strength, or a kind of red luoluo violence!
No country wants to make its country's coastal defense mainly coastal defense, if you can go out, no one wants to shrink at the door, since now there are these conditions, then you have to go out! It's not about strength, it's an attitude! Only if you want to fight, dare to fight, can you have the result you want, if you dare not fight, then the other party has been counted in Asia.
The following reporter has been crazy to press the flashing lights endlessly, this is the first time that this oriental dragon has made its own voice since the economic reform and opening up, and it is above board to make its own voice, does this indicate that this oriental dragon is about to take off?
No one knows, but these journalists know that they may have witnessed a historic event! No reporter can guess what kind of changes China's announcement will cause, but these reporters understand that in the past, China was secretly engaged in researching any weapons and equipment, and this time it was announced openly, no one knows what it means, but everyone knows, I am afraid that no country can stop this eastern dragon.
"Finally, in the coming months, China will hold a large-scale joint exercise of all arms and services, which will cover a total of 16 provinces, four major military regions, and a total of 950,000 troops at all levels!" When Jiang Yun announced the last news, Zhang Yang knew the news, but he still grew his mouth in surprise, and the media reporters below directly reached a **, and all kinds of flashing lights flashed the stage into a white expanse.
To tell the truth, Zhang Yang was very surprised, quite unexpected, very unexpected, he didn't expect to kill Zhang Yang, this time there was such a big determination on the top, close to the joint exercise of a million troops! It can be said that this is the first joint military exercise of such a scale since the Republic has no foreign war, and it is a military exercise involving the navy, land and air force. Not to mention the surprise of the reporters below for such a large-scale military exercise, it is estimated that people in all countries in the world will be surprised.
After announcing everything, Jiang Yun quickly left the venue under the protection of the two soldiers, and didn't pay attention to the crazy inquiries of the reporters below, because as I had said before, this was just a press conference to announce the matter, and would not answer any questions.
Zhang Yang smiled a little, I'm afraid that at this time, the world doesn't know how many presidents and military and political officials have been called up from the bed by their subordinates.
To tell the truth, how many industries in China have been driven by a star group, Zhang Yang is not from the National Bureau of Statistics, the Ministry of Finance and other departments, so he is not clear about this specific, but what Zhang Yang knows is that every year the country's financial revenue will definitely be intercepted when it is announced to the outside world, and almost all countries in the world will do this, and the Republic is not the founder or the only one.
But judging from the fiscal revenue announced in 07, the fiscal revenue of the republic has almost caught up with the fiscal revenue a few years later, you know, the inflation rate in the country is not as high as in the previous life around 2012! It's '07 now! To be able to maintain such a terrifying economic income at a time when inflation is so low, the economic development of the republic is definitely more good than in the previous life.
Much of the economic development in the previous life was based on the abnormal development of domestic real estate and other aspects, which is fundamentally different from this life. At a time when inflation is so low, the purchasing power of 100 RMB is at least about 30 percent higher than that of the economy in previous lifetimes, which is quite a terrifying number.
Zhang Yang's special plane did not land at two civilian airports in the capital, but directly landed at a military airport on the outskirts of the capital under the escort of several fighter planes. This military airfield is a military airfield under the Weirong Military Region in the capital. When the plane landed on it, there was already a long line of military vehicles waiting on the runway, and the commanders and political commissars of the entire military base were already waiting next to the runway.
As the commander of a military base with a level 2 secrecy level, of course Colonel Fu Hongjun knows who is on the plane, or which company the plane belongs to, in fact, if you really don't know, just look at the world-resounding Big Dipper Peugeot on the fuselage of the plane and the four Chinese characters to understand that this plane is the SI plane that can be said to be higher than the central tax of the entire country with the strength of a company.
A military base with a level 2 of secrecy is already a military base with a very high level of secrecy in the Republic, and everyone in this military base must sign a secrecy agreement, including the lowest-level non-commissioned officers! In fact, none of the guards here are ordinary soldiers, and the entire base is full of professional soldiers.
In space, you can't see this air base from the satellite, it has all kinds of signal shielding and camouflage all year round, and of course, one of the most important tasks of this air base is the security of the capital of Weirong! The entire base is on alert all year round, and in the event of an emergency in the capital, fighter jets from the airbase can take off within ten minutes!
Therefore, Fu Hongjun can know a lot of confidential information, but this time the above asked him to come here to pick up the president of the Star Group to a secret base to attend the Supreme Military Council, Fu Hongjun is still a little dizzy, although Fu Hongjun knows that the Star Group has a lot of scientific research cooperation with the country, but he didn't expect that the president of the Star Group, the young man who is praised as a genius by businessmen all over the world, actually has the ability to attend the Military Commission! ro!。
