Chapter 595: Crisis in the Shadows
Lu Yang's tone was very confident, which made Xu Jun a little moved, and at the same time he had a deeper understanding of his eldest brother. www.biquge.info In his opinion, no matter who is rich, whether he has money or status, he will inevitably be afraid when facing the huge state apparatus of the Chinese government.
He has seen many such people.
But Lu Yang is an exception, and Xu Jun can't see a little of this emotion in him.
If Lu Yang knew his brother-in-law's thoughts, he would definitely tell him that he had actually pretended to be a grandson. Before the establishment of Penglai Island, Lu Yang behaved like nothing in front of the government, although it was not to the point of not fighting back and scolding, but on many major issues, Lu Yang had a submissive attitude.
When Lu Yang has Penglai Island, everything will be different, space-based weapons and artificial intelligence have given Lu Yang the confidence to stand up, and the mecha team and aerospace aircraft have established Lu Yang's special status. If it is said that in the early days of the construction of Penglai Island, there was still the idea of controlling Luyang in China, and after the development of Penglai Island, this idea would have no market in the high-level.
Everyone can see that Lu Yang is now in his wings, even if he leaves the country, he will still have a long journey. As long as Lu Yang does not challenge the bottom line of the country by his own death, calculating politicians will never break with Lu Yang.
This is the confidence that strength brings to Lu Yang!
"The expansion of Penglai Island does not cost the country a penny, but it relieves most of the country's strategic pressure, how can the high-level oppose it?" Lu Yang said with a smile.
Xu Jun was silent, he had to admit that he could neither accept nor understand this.
"Far from it. Penglai Island will expand its military strength this time, and the navy will add 2 aircraft carriers, 5 nuclear submarines, and 12 new-generation destroyers. As for the Air Force, within three years there will be 2 additional aerospace fighters, 2 squadrons of fifth-generation fighters. The army won't talk about it......"
"Where's the mech team?" Xu Jun asked.
Lu Yang said: "The mecha team will definitely be expanded, in addition to the existing team, Penglai Island will build another Tyrannosaurus Rex mecha team of the same scale as Huaxia." ”
Xu Jun asked again: "Why not the War Tiger Mecha Team?" The combat power of the War Tiger mecha is much higher than that of the Tyrannosaurus Rex, and the Tyrannosaurus Rex can only fight on land, which is not suitable for Penglai Island. ”
Lu Yang said helplessly: "We can't afford to build a War Tiger mecha, and it is already the limit that Penglai Island can get together 21 planes." "In the points mall, the price of the War Tiger mecha is 4 times that of the Tyrannosaurus Rex, and Lu Yang can only buy 12 points a year. However, it is clear that he can't spend all his points on it.
If it weren't for the lack of points, Lu Yang actually wanted to buy a third-generation mecha, such as the Fengshen mecha, although this kind of mecha is not as good as the brilliant mecha, but it also has the ability of amphibious operations, which is undoubtedly more suitable for Penglai Island.
"It's just a small Penglai Island, do you need so many troops?" Xu Jun couldn't help but say, "With so many troops, the annual military expenditure is not a small amount, right?" ”
"Military spending is not too big a problem, this year's military budget on Penglai Island is 50 billion, of course, except for this military expansion."
Xu Jun was secretly speechless, thinking that his uncle was really proud, a small Penglai Island, and the military expenditure reached 50 billion.
Lu Yang glanced at him: "Is 50 billion very high, it's not even as good as the Lion City!" ”
The size of Penglai Island's army is not small, and a lot of new equipment has been added this year, such as the White Crane fighter jet. However, Penglai Island has a characteristic, that is, everything belongs to Lu Yang, and the military purchases from Lu Yang's companies at cost price. If you follow the market price, the 40 White Crane fighters of the Air Force alone will exceed 10 billion.
"For me, the biggest constraint on the expansion of the army is the personnel. If you want, you can go to Penglai Island. Lu Yang said lightly.
Xu Jun is very conflicted in his heart, he is used to military thinking, it does not mean that he is stupid and can't distinguish the pros and cons. Xu Jun knows very well that the future of going to Penglai Island is definitely better than staying on the mainland. The army on Penglai Island is owned by Lu Yang, and he is Lu Yang's only brother-in-law, even if Lu Yang does not deliberately take care of him, his status is different.
However, years of education in the People's Liberation Army dispelled Xu Jun's idea.
"I, I'll think about it again."
Lu Yang stayed in the capital for more than ten days, and in addition to accompanying his family, he also had a lot of activities.
After knowing that Lu Yang was in the capital, interviews and invitations from the outside world were always indispensable. However, for those meetings that he was not interested in, Lu Yang resigned. He has only attended a few conferences, including the China Charity Conference, the China North Environmental Protection Seminar, the Bohai Economic Circle Development Seminar, and the China Intelligent Industry Industry Forum.
Lu Yang is enthusiastic about charity and environmental protection, which is a well-known thing. The national station once reported that since 08, Lu Yang has donated a total of 180 billion to the Tianxin Charity Foundation he founded, with an average of 15 billion per year.
Moreover, Lu Yang is not like some rich people in the United States who do charity, saying that it is a naked donation, but it is actually to avoid taxes. Lu Yang is really doing charity, and the money is really spent. Over the past ten years, Tianxin Charity Foundation has made great contributions to Huaxia in many aspects, becoming the largest charitable foundation in Huaxia worthy of the name, and also enjoys a high reputation abroad.
According to the data released by the National Channel, Tianxin Charity Foundation receives donations of up to 52.3 billion yuan every year except for Lu Yang, many of which are from abroad!
At the charity meeting, Lu Yang met Tang Qiuli, who had not been seen for a long time, who was still the president of the Tianxin Charity Foundation. Lu Yang and Tang Qiuli haven't seen each other for more than two years, but their trust in each other is still there.
"Sister Tang, I haven't seen you for two years, and you are still so radiant." Lu Yang held Tang Qiuli's skinny hand.
Tang Qiuli smiled indifferently: "You, you're older, but you're not so serious." ”
"Was I serious before?" Lu Yang said with a smile.
Tang Qiuli painted with light makeup, she still looked so quiet, she was in her 40s and did not get married, but put all her energy on public welfare and charity. Over the years, Tang Qiuli has become a banner of Chinese charity, and has been rated as "Top Ten People Who Moved China", "38 Red Flag Bearer", etc., she is also the representative of the National People's Congress of China, and the president of the China Charity Federation.
Not only domestically, but also internationally, Tang Qiuli also has a great reputation. Under her leadership, Tianxin Charity Foundation has established ties with many internationally renowned charitable organizations, participated in many international public welfare actions, and was praised by foreign media as "Mother Teresa of China" and "one of the most respected women of the year".
"Sister Tang, you're not too young, you should consider starting a family, right?" Lu Yang whispered.
Tang Qiuli stared at Lu Yang, and her heart panicked when she looked at him.
"Forget it, forget it, it's me who talks a lot......" Lu Yang retreated in defeat and didn't dare to mention this topic anymore.
In addition to Tang Qiuli, Lu Yang also met several old friends in the capital, such as Liu Qiangdong, Qiu Liguo, Li Yanhong, Zhang Chao......
The Pattani YSL country, the South-Central Canal has become one of the most important waterways connecting the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. In the first half of this year, more than 20,000 ships sailed from here, which is 60% of the Strait of Malacca, most of which are Chinese merchant ships.
The busy shipping has brought endless wealth to both sides of the canal, although the starting point of the country of Pattanii YSL is low, but with the support of Penglai Island, the construction of the canal area is very smooth, and now the facilities are very complete.
Before the founding of the country, the per capita GDP of Pattani YSL was less than US$3,500, which was the lowest in Thailand. After the founding of the People's Republic of China in July last year, the economy of Pattani YSL ushered in explosive development.
Luyang's investment of 170 billion yuan has been put in place to solve their problem of insufficient funds, and after that, the two sides signed a comprehensive cooperation agreement, although the country of Pattani YSL has to rely on Penglai Island, but it also brings them countless benefits. In the second half of 2019, the per capita GDP of Pattani YSL reached 35,000 yuan, equivalent to 5,300 US dollars, surpassing Thailand.
This year, the country of Pattani is developing well, and the government's revenue from the passage of the Zhongnan Canal is expected to exceed 3.5 billion yuan, which is definitely a huge wealth for a small country with only 3 million people! In addition, the other benefits brought by the Zhongnan Canal are conservatively estimated to be more than 14 billion, and it can be said that with this canal alone, the citizens of Pattani YSL can live a prosperous life.
With the help of Penglai Island and Huaxia, Povi did not become more loyal to Huaxia because of this, on the contrary, he put more thought into it. As the founder of the country, even in such a small country, Powey's political ambitions are not comparable to those of ordinary politicians.
Povi himself is a very controlling person, and the results of the YSL country in Pattani have made him even more conceited.
"For me, Pattani YSL is just the first step!" Povey thought to himself.
Of course, now Povi doesn't want to get rid of Huaxia's control, it's not that he doesn't want to, but he doesn't have the strength. Capital from Huaxia has penetrated into all aspects of the country of Pattani, and the defense, finance, energy, steel, transportation, agriculture, etc., of the country of Pattani, are all under the control of Huaxia.
These are still trivial things, and the most important thing is that on the west coast, Huaxia still has an army that can easily annihilate the entire Uttani YSL country!
Powe knew that he had a long way to go to get rid of Huaxia's control and realize his political ambitions.
"President, the navy of the north is here again!" Powi was still thinking about this, and Defense Minister Somchai brought this bad news.
After the founding of the Pattani YSL country, Powi appointed himself president and commander-in-chief of the three armed services, and the original army commander Somchai was transferred to the minister of defense. (To be continued.) )
