One of the great problems exposed in the war against the North Soviet Union was that Abyej's army was still small. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Not to mention the million-strong army of China, even a small Eritrea has more than 300,000 regular troops.

The expansion of the army has been expanding, but the progress is very slow, money is a problem, the army has been expanded, you always have to spend money on training, spend money on weapons and equipment.

Ordinary infantry is better to say, at most it is equipped with some armored personnel carriers, but if it is an armored unit, or an air force, it is an astronomical amount.

And now that it has annexed the North Soviet Union, it has nearly 720 kilometers of coastline, several excellent ports, and guards the Red Bay, where trade is flourishing, and the expansion of the navy is also on the agenda.

As for the navy, the cost of a warship will be tens of millions of dollars or hundreds of millions of dollars, and it is also a fool's dream to form a combat strength without astronomical military expenditures.

The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became solemn, but in the solemnity, there was a faint expectation.

The expansion of the army involves countless interests, power entanglements, some people are happy and some are worried, and all of this depends on Yang Tian.

Yang Tian was also aware of this atmosphere in the conference room, and now within the military, two distinct camps have been formed.

First, Saleh is an old qualification, and he can be regarded as the founding father who followed Yang Tian to fight the country, and now the officers of the first division of the First Army of the Army are basically Saleh's old subordinates.

Second, Saleh is also a high-ranking official of the Politburo Standing Committee with the defense minister, and naturally there are countless officials on his side.

And the remaining faction is Said, this faction, in addition to the old subordinates of the National Salvation League, is more of a staff officer system within the army.

Within zhèngfu, Yang Tian implements the unity of party and government, and the number one leader is not only the number one person in zhèngfu, but also the number one leader of the Kuomintang. However, within the army, Yang Tian followed the example of Hua Guo and implemented a system of separating the military from the government, in addition to setting up a top leader in military affairs, there was also a top leader in party affairs.

At present, many of the top leaders of military affairs are on the side of Saleh, while the top leaders of party affairs, together with a large number of members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, are on the side of Said.

The strength of these two factions cannot be measured to determine who is strong and who is weak, but they have also initially achieved the effect that Yang Tian wants, restraining and balancing each other.

There is such a thing as faction, Yang Tian does not object, if there is a dispute, there will be a compromise, Yang Tiancai is good to control in the middle, and cāo controls the highest power.

And now, once Yang Tian announces the start of expansion, there will be a large number of new officers, and these officers are valued by everyone present.

"Chairman, what scale do you plan to expand this time?" Said asked first.

The rest of the people also looked at Yang Tian with blank eyes, Yang Tian's words may change the power changes of the two factions.

Yang Tian had long expected this kind of thing to happen, but he had already thought about the expansion plan in advance, and said: "I will formulate a five-year plan, and in these five years, the initial expansion will include the army, navy and air force, and the total number of troops will not be less than 500,000. ”

500,000!

As soon as Yang Tian's words came out, he also startled everyone present.

Now, Abyeh's army of 50,000 men has expanded tenfold in the past five years, which is too fast.

Finally, Tai Lun, director of the General Logistics Department of the military, opened his mouth and said something that did not involve any entanglement of interests: "Chairman, if the expansion of 500,000 troops in five years includes the army, navy and air force, there will be tremendous pressure on military spending. ”

This Tylen, in his forties, holds the rank of major general, but he is not a serious officer.

As the chief steward of the army, Tailun was appointed by Zhou Kai and was an official that Zhou Kai trusted very much.

The logistics department is a money word, weapons and equipment, the living expenses of ordinary soldiers, military hospitals, and the management of the logistics supply system, all of which belong to the General Logistics Department.

Among the two major forces of the military, Tylen is a unique and special existence, he does not belong to any faction, has great power, and can even bypass the Ministry of Defense and report directly to Zhou Kai.

And Saleh and Saeed also know that Taryn is a constraint on them, and he is in charge of money, of course, powerful.

Yang Tiandao: "In terms of military spending, the Ministry of Finance will have specific plans, and I am here today just to remind you that in the next five years, the main task of the military is to expand and develop, and I believe that during this five-year period, it will be a long period of peace." ”

Peacetime?

Everyone looked at Yang Tian with some astonishment, not knowing where Yang Tian's words came from, or rather, could it be that Yang Tian had given up his expansion plan and shifted his focus to his own development?

After the meeting of the Ministry of National Defense, Yang Tian focused his work on the implementation of the new currency.

……

Two months later, in July 2016, Abye Bank officially announced that it would officially issue the currency of Abye on July 7.

The first edition of the Abyeh Yuan came in denominations of $1, $2, $5, $10, $20, $50 and $100.

Under the yuan unit, there is also a monetary unit cent, one dollar is exchanged for one hundred cents.

Among the coins, monetary units of 1 yuan, 50 cents, 10 cents, 5 cents and 1 cent will also be introduced.

The currency was designed by the Zhongyāng Bank, and the core of the establishment is the lion, as well as Yang Tian, whether it is a coin or a banknote, any of the face of the person's head, all of which are 45-degree portraits of Yang Tian's face.

In this design, in addition to commemorating Yang Tian, the great founder, there is also a part of the brainwashing meaning, you even use the money printed with my avatar, every penny spent, you have to remember where the money comes from.

It has been more than half a year since Abyeh duli, and it has only now launched a new currency, which has also attracted great attention from the world.

The World Monetary Fund and the World Bank warmly congratulated Abyeh on the success of the currency reform, and said that a new currency will make a great contribution to Abyeh's economic development and the world's economic development.

However, one thing that has attracted more attention from the outside world is that although the Abye Bank did not announce the foreign exchange rate at the first time, the rate at which the private currency was collected and exchanged for the currency in the hands of the people was 1 Abye Yuan to 1 US dollar. Any other country's currency, such as the euro, the British pound, etc., is converted according to the standard official exchange rate of the US dollar against the currencies of various countries.

Once this exchange rate broke out, it could be regarded as a stone that stirred up a thousand waves, and many economic experts jumped out to analyze that Yang Tian was ambitious and wanted to make Abye Jiyuan a strong currency for the international community.

At the same time, some experts have analyzed that Abyeh has set up such an exchange rate, which is plundering the wealth of the people.

That's right, on the surface, 1 Abyeh dollar is exchanged for 1 dollar, no more, no less, and residents can buy the same amount of goods in the market with their savings in exchange for currency of the same denomination.

Because in a short period of time, the price of goods in the market will also copy the price before the issuance of the currency, which used to be sold for one dollar, and now it is sold for one Abyeh yuan.

However, in China, once Abyeha's goods enter the international market, the goods with a price of 1 Abyeha yuan cannot be sold at a price of 1 US dollar because of competitiveness, etc., and may only be sold for 50 cents, or even less.

In this way, the huge price difference in between, the loss caused by the currency transaction, will be borne by the ordinary people, and part of the value of the loss will be collected by zhèngfu and plundered in the past.

Therefore, some financial predators, led by Wall Street, all have a joke-watching mentality to look at Abye's currency issuance.

The Wall Street newspaper even typed the headline that Yang Tian is a nuclear weapons maniac, and he is a fool when he engages in the economy.

Even financial tycoons such as Soros have secretly declared that once Abyeh has opened the foreign exchange market, it cannot be ruled out that they may snipe at Abye's economy.

In Abyeh's country, however, there are very few such outlings.

The issuance of national credit currency is fundamentally credit, and if the people recognize the credit of zhèngfu, then the currency has value.

In recent years, Abye has developed rapidly, and the economy has prospered, especially a series of events such as the founding of the country and expansion, which have allowed Abye to accumulate great credibility among the people.

To put it simply, the people of Abyeha are optimistic about the country's development prospects and trust zhèngfu, so they naturally approve of the new currency issued by zhèngfu.

On the day that Zhongyāng Bank announced the opening of currency exchange, it was broadcast live by national television, and as the leader of the country, Yang Tian used the new currency to buy a bottle of drink at a local supermarket in Kaduli.

As a result of this kind of publicity, the exchange of the new currency went smoothly.

The first batch of Abyeh currency, with an amount of 5 billion, was made after a comprehensive assessment of the level of Abyeh's economy.

From July 10th to the last day of July, the exchange of the currency was basically completed.

As a result, Zhongyāng Bank collected a total of nearly $4.5 billion in foreign exchange.

Among these currencies, the US dollar is the main currency. Although the original Sudanese pound was exchanged, although the amount of exchange was large, after all, Yang Tian annexed the North Soviet Union, and the Sudanese pound held by tens of millions of people in the former North Soviet Union is also an astonishing number, but in the past two years, the Sudanese pound has been almost worthless, and many of the people of the former North Sudan have mainly held US dollars.

The implementation of the new currency can be regarded as entering a new chapter, and the new currency, with a total amount of about 4.5 billion, has flowed into the market through exchange.

Under the premise of such a good situation, Abyeha has announced that he will implement a trade austerity policy and strictly control Abyeha's foreign trade.

In other words, Abye is already restricting foreign trade and giving up foreign trade.

Such a policy is equivalent to closing the country in the feudal era, and in international public opinion, it is also a stone that stirs up a thousand waves and attracts countless saliva.

And a group of Wall Street bigwigs quickly gave an explanation, claiming that Yang Tian's strategy of restricting foreign trade may be able to ensure the value of Abye Jiyuan in China and prevent the loss of people's assets.

However, this is a huge and heavy blow to Abyeji's economic development, in the short term, it may be effective, but in the long run, Yang Tian is digging his own grave.

That kind of Yang Tian is a military **, and it is okay to start a war to expand the territory, but he doesn't understand the economy at all, and the argument that he is a mess has become fierce again.
