Chapter 19** snickering (one more arrives)

Paralyzing the damned Americans, this still makes people not live? After a burst of desperate sorrow in everyone's hearts, there was a burst of secretly scolding their mother, although they knew that the Americans' ground-penetrating missiles might not fall on their heads for the rest of their lives, but at this moment, everyone still subconsciously avoided this issue.

When people encounter danger, they generally have two reactions, one is to give up in pessimism and despair, waiting for the mercy of the opponent, in the hope that their opponent can give them a chance to live; The other response is to fight back and put the dead to life, in this way to give yourself a chance.

Now these bigwigs are also, after a short period of despair, a kind of bigwigs who have really felt the danger is not so far away from themselves immediately made a decision: support the modernization of the army, without affecting economic development, fully support the modernization of the army A strong and modern army is the ultimate guarantee of all this that they have now, "power from the barrel of a gun" is not just talking, grandpa Tai's words, even if it is put hundreds of thousands of years later, It's all a trumpy truth.

"We must be aware that at a time when peace and development have become the mainstream of the world, compared with 20 years ago, the ideas of chauvinism, militarism, and hegemonism are becoming more and more evident in certain powerful countries. We, as public servants of the people, should be prepared for danger in times of peace, and we must ensure that under certain special circumstances, when certain countries covet the tremendous achievements of our reform and opening up, we have the ability to protect the achievements that we have achieved after more than 20 years of reform and opening up. ”

The interesting thing is that before today, this member of the Standing Committee was still known for opposing the excessive power in the hands of the military, the excessive funds, and the excessive influence on the localities, "In order to protect the achievements of our reform and opening up, it is necessary and necessary to build a modern army with strong combat capability. Therefore, I suggest that all members of the Standing Committee solemnly consider the necessity and urgency of vigorously strengthening army building for a period of time to come. ”

"Agree with my proposal to make appropriate adjustments to the military budget allocation for the next fiscal year, from the previous increase of 10 compared to the previous fiscal year, to an increase of 15." The member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee said, and then the topic changed, "Of course, if the financial allocation range of the military is increased, it will naturally reduce the allocation range of some ministries and industries, but compared with stabilizing the national mind, these are all small summaries...... I believe that everyone will be able to maintain and stabilize the overall situation. ”

It's just that although the financial cake is very large, but it is evenly spread under such a large country, the cake is always limited, so after the military spending increase from the original 10 to 15, the military can share more cakes, and naturally it is necessary to reduce other people's cakes, which may make the comrades below have some opinions, but this is actually not a problem, next year comrades will build a few fewer buildings, buy a few fewer cars, this money will be saved soon, anyway, the office building and family building will not collapse if the new old building is not built in a year, and it will not leak wind and rain. If you don't buy a new car this year, it's not like you can't use your old car in the past.

Although this is not explicitly stated, this is what the Standing Committee member meant.

Hearing the words of this Standing Committee, many people began to scold their mother in their hearts: This is not a cut from you, so you don't feel distressed

The one who speaks holds the Central Propaganda Department in his hands, and propaganda is the mouthpiece of the party and government, since it is a mouthpiece, it is natural that it needs to be louder, and naturally, no one dares to make up his mind on the mouthpiece's money, otherwise if the voice is not loud enough at the critical moment, who can bear this responsibility?

It was because everyone secretly scolded this despicable and shameless in their hearts, and nodded their heads with a smile on their faces, "Agreed"

The other two members of the Standing Committee also immediately made their attitude clear.

Since the budget for increasing military spending has become a foregone conclusion and cannot be changed, what about ...... Forget it, left and right in the republic, the explicit and implicit military spending combined, only accounted for less than 7 of the total fiscal revenue, even if it increased by 5 over the previous year, but relative to the total amount, in fact, it did not increase much, and the extra piece of the military let the big guys share it on the top of their heads, in fact, the number of cakes reduced by each person is not much. …,

There is not enough money when the central government allocates funds below every year, and at this time, it is not a big problem to lose ten or eight yuan from them.

Suddenly, everyone was surprised to find that the bigwigs who had been strictly guarded by everyone in the past and had the tendency of fire prevention, theft prevention and defense against the military suddenly became a little unbearable for the military...... To be able to become the top politician, there is no one who is not a human being, and everyone almost instantly realized the fact that under the premise that they did not have the gun in their hands, they were able to have a good relationship with the gang of Ziqiu Ba who had the gun in their hands, and when there was something, everyone was easy to talk about, right?

Although at his own level, he has become a group of people who need the most key protection in this country, but even so, the military protection force at the highest end of the country is still limited...... Minister Cao suddenly found himself much more popular.

"Since everyone thinks that it is necessary to increase military spending, then this matter is decided," In the end, Brother Hu finally made a decision on this matter. However, some things that should be said still have to be said, "Minister Cao, this money is saved by everyone to support the construction of the army, and I hope that this money must be used where it is most needed." ”

Please rest assured that the general secretary and leaders will not know what he should do at this time. At this time, attitude is very important, "We will certainly use this military expenditure to earnestly increase the combat effectiveness and modernization of the army, and we will never let down the wishes of our comrades and the people." ”

As soon as Lao Cao said this, everyone finally felt a lot more comforted in their hearts.

The situation of the army is not the same as the situation of the government, although the system is equally strict, but everyone knows that reading the scriptures, in the government, the misappropriation of political funds is really a very normal thing, but in the army, the nature of this kind of thing is much more serious, although no one dares to guarantee that there will be no misappropriation of military funds for other purposes, but once this kind of thing is discovered, the consequences of the parties involved are extremely serious.

Grandpa Tai is right, mastering the army is mastering the final right to speak, the elder of the defense kept sighing in his heart, he didn't expect that the final harvest was far more than the biggest gain he could have expected before he said this.

Although the form of ownership and restraint of the army has been developed for thousands of years, and has now reached an almost perfect level, under the premise of relative political stability, an army can not only ensure strong combat effectiveness, but also do not need to make politicians worry that the army has become the army of army generals, but the civilian management of the army, after all, is still separated by a layer, after all, it is still far less professional than the military to govern the army, especially on some issues unique to the army. When thinking about problems, it is obviously not as professional as these modern professional soldiers.

Now, the minister is starting to be ambitious: after so much new military spending...... How is this more than money?

"Money" is a thing, for an army, there is never enough time, a modern army, but also a money-burning machine, needless to say, just equipping the air force and naval aviation units with Alice Group's air tankers, is enough to consume the extra 5 financial allocation, and even this money may not be enough.

If you count the two things of early warning aircraft and strategic bombers in the air...... Forget it, don't want to. As soon as he thought of this problem, Lao Cao felt that his brain hurt for a while: I originally thought that there were a lot of extra 5, but now it seems that it is a drop in the bucket

The only thing that makes Lao Cao feel fortunate is that fortunately, the special military budget for the construction of two aircraft carriers has been separately listed before, otherwise the problem would have been even greater.

Looking at the two huge docks in front of him that were being built and renovated, General Su finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After several months of negotiations and consultations, the Alice Group finally agreed to the military's request to transform these two open-air dry docks into fully enclosed dry docks, with these two civil ocean-going ships that can build a maximum of 600,000 tons, or a super-large dry dock with a maximum displacement of more than 135,000 tons and a waterline of 400 meters.

Although the cost of the closed dry dock is very high, the advantages of the fully enclosed are also obvious: because it is a fully enclosed structure, not only can it be kept secret, but the most important thing is that it can use the traditional open-air dry dock under all-weather conditions.

From another point of view, this is also a great acceleration of the construction of ships, especially for the Republic Navy, a young navy with serious ocean-going combat capabilities, this is very important, so although in the end there is a lot of money, but General Su thinks that the money is worth it...... Even if it's not worth it, it's much better than throwing the money into the bellies of those corrupt officials

"135,000 tons, I'm really looking forward to seeing such a behemoth galloping across the ocean." General Su sighed with emotion and shook his head, full of incredulity.

With a displacement of 135,000 tons, this is a terrible number that can scare the jaw out of a person. Even the United States, which has the most powerful scientific and technological strength and the most developed shipbuilding industry, can build the largest military ship with a full load displacement of only a little more than 100,000 tons, while the dock of the Alice Group has the ability to build extra-large warships with an empty displacement of 135,000 tons and a full load displacement of 176,000 tons

For such a large warship, apart from a behemoth-like aircraft carrier, General Su couldn't imagine that there was any need for such a large dock. And the dockyard for the construction of such huge warships is available only in the republic

Having such a large dock is not the main thing, for those naval powers, they do not have such a large dock, it is not that they cannot build it, but for two reasons, one is that there is no need to build such a large dock; Another reason, and the main one, is that they do not have the ability to build such large warships

However, when thinking of the price paid by the military for the construction of these two closed dry docks, General Su couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Isn't this price a little too big?" ”

In order to persuade the Alice Group and the Zhang family to agree to convert the two open-air dry docks into closed dry docks, the military not only agreed to pay part of the cost of the dock renovation, but also continued to give two additional orders: After the construction of the two large aircraft carriers is completed, if everything is qualified after acceptance, the military will again smash down two large through-deck dock landing ships with a displacement of 40,000 to 50,000 tons

What does a large straight-through deck dock landing ship with a displacement of 40,000 to 50,000 tons remind you of? That's right, it's the well-known U.S. Navy "Wasp-class" straight-through deck large amphibious landing ship

This is a large military warship that integrates various functions such as helicopter attack carriers, large amphibious assault ships, large dock landing ships, amphibious transport ships, and hospital ships, and is a veritable all-rounder for amphibious operations.

Even after being equipped with the **-8B "Harrier" vertical short take-off and landing fighter or the US Navy's latest V-22 "Osprey" tiltrotor plane, it can immediately be transformed into a medium-sized conventionally powered aircraft carrier, and the huge displacement not only gives the ship of this class the ability to support landing combat missions, but even after being equipped with appropriate aircraft, such as the **-8B "Harrier" vertical short take-off and landing fighter or the US Navy's latest V-22 "Osprey" tiltrotor aircraft, it can easily and happily carry out sea domination tasksand, if necessary, even become the flagship or even the command center of a medium-intensity war

According to the plan provided by the Alice Group, this behemoth is fully capable of deterring the US military stationed in Japan, the US military stationed in South Korea and Southeast Asian countries, and compared with the two 80,000-ton nuclear-powered aircraft carriers that are being built, the cost is even lower, which makes people can't help but laugh
