Chapter 190: The War Between the Suzerainty and the Vassal State

If these important departments divide the money, the remaining money will only be 9 billion yuan, and the next budget will be the budget of the military and the budget of the Ministry of Construction and other departments.

It's going to cost money, and there are places to spend it everywhere, it's just a matter of who comes first.

The six billion yuan that was divided before belonged to the ranks that must be spent, and the gold reserves must be wanted, and if they do not reserve, they will wait to be charged seigniorage by other countries, and there will be no gold reserves, and the revival currency will not be able to gain a foothold in the world in the future.

The Ministry of Education's 3 billion yuan is definitely needed, and this does not mean that it can be saved. The Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Civil Affairs cannot reduce their money.

In terms of military spending this year, the navy is very clear that it is 400 million yuan a year, but in order to speed up the manufacture of warships, the Ministry of Finance has allocated 800 million yuan to the navy this year.

At this time, Asia was in a state of blank naval power, because the combined fleet of the book had been destroyed, and now there were only some small warships left in the book, and these warships were all auxiliary, so the first naval power in Asia was beaten down like this.

Now only the United States is left in Asia, and the United States has American warships in its naval base on Guam, and the US Navy has ostensibly become the most powerful navy in Asia.

The strength of the East China Navy is still very weak, mainly because there are no surface ships, so the Navy must speed up the manufacture of warships to replace the position of the Navy, and overtake the US Navy to become the No. 1 Navy in Asia.

The army has allocated 500 million yuan this year, and now the scale of the army has continued to expand, and the strength of the army has increased to 750,000.

In general, these forces are sufficient. But in fact, once there is a war between the great powers, then this amount of troops is completely insufficient.

Just like the enemy that China will definitely face in the future - the Soviet Union!

The border between China and the Soviet Union was very large, and if Outer Mongolia had been recovered later, the border with the Soviet Union would have stretched from the Western Regions to Heilongjiang.

It would take a lot of troops to garrison these areas alone, and if they fought the Soviets, the Soviets would certainly pull up a huge army.

These hundreds of thousands of people in China are obviously not enough.

Therefore, it is necessary to continue to expand the army, but it is necessary to recruit compulsory soldiers, who will be discharged and returned home after two years of service, which is mainly a reserve of soldiers for the war.

Conscripts do not need to pay military salaries, they just need to pay a little pocket money every month, and they will only be paid when they fight, so the main expenses are in terms of equipment.

The Air Force does not need to expand for the time being, but it has also received 200 million yuan in funds, which are mainly used for the construction of airfields and the maintenance of aircraft. This money is mainly used for research and development, and the Air Force wants to develop new aircraft and seize the throne of the world's No. 1 Air Force.

If the Air Force wants to be strong, to put it bluntly, it depends on equipment. Training is secondary, generally between the two countries, there is not much difference in training, the main thing is the gap in aircraft.

In terms of military spending, this year's budget is 1.6 billion, which is the highest level in history, but it is still 10 percent.

Now the military problem that the East China political axe has to face is no longer just a few divisions to defend the surrounding warlords, but to bear the border defense problem of the whole of China.

And at this time, whether it is personnel or equipment, there are more people than before, the equipment level is higher, and the cost is naturally higher.

There are still 7.4 billion yuan left, of which 1 billion yuan must be set aside for pensions, and 6.4 billion yuan can be budgeted.

This year, the Ministry of Water Resources has allocated 1.5 billion yuan, which will be used to build water conservancy in various provinces; now that the East China political axe basically controls the entire southern region of China, it is very serious to face the problem of water conservancy, and all provinces are facing the danger of flooding, and water conservancy in Hubei needs to be carried out in a key way.

There are many lakes in Hubei, large and small lakes everywhere, and Hubei is located in the Yangtze River basin, and the flood control of the Yangtze River is a major problem that needs to be solved urgently.

Therefore, this year, the Ministry of Water Resources received 1.5 billion yuan, which is to overhaul water conservancy and thoroughly understand the flood control problem in the Yangtze River basin.

After several years of development, the Ministry of Water Resources has managed the water conservancy in the Huaihe River area very well, and the water conservancy in the Yangtze River basin has only been managed in the lower reaches, and the problems in the upper reaches have still not been clarified.

The upper reaches of the Yangtze River are very rich in hydropower resources, so the East China Electric Power Company will invest in the construction of many medium-sized hydropower stations in the upstream areas this year, and in terms of economic benefits, medium-sized hydropower stations are the highest. Moreover, the construction of a hydropower station upstream will not change the main river, like the Three Gorges Project, Xia Jun will never agree to build it.

Of the remaining 5.9 billion yuan budget, 4.5 billion yuan will be allocated to the Ministry of Construction, and the 4.5 billion yuan will be used to build various infrastructure facilities.

Of the remaining 1.4 billion yuan, 1 billion yuan is used for scientific research, and the other 900 million yuan is divided up by other departments.

Many departments have a sense of joy this year, because the budget has suddenly increased.

In terms of scientific research, this year, East China's political axe investment in this area has risen to 1 billion yuan, and the Ministry of Education has invested nearly 500 million yuan in scientific research in colleges and universities, and the scientific research expenditure on the entire political axe has reached 1.5 billion yuan.

In addition to the 1.5 billion yuan, enterprises are also engaged in scientific research, especially East China Group, Zhongsheng, and Huasheng Group, which have all begun to build their own laboratories.

The establishment of these laboratories will provide a good material foundation for China's scientific and technological research and development.

This year's huge budget was quickly carved up, and at the same time, the plan for the new year was quickly laid out, and the more money allocated means more tasks.

After Xia Jun presided over the budget, he focused his main attention on dealing with the foreign powers.

A few days after Shandong's victory, the Entente countries kept sending notes asking for mediation, and the United States sent a mediation note in early January, which made Xia Jun have to deal with it.

Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Lin Xiyu held a press conference on 6 January, declaring: "China and Nepal have a long history and cultural ties, and the historical entanglement between the two countries has a long history. This was a war between China, the suzerain, and a vassal state, and it was also a war for China's rejuvenation. If any country behaves, then we in China will remember their friendship, and they will repay it. ”

The attitude of the political axe in East China is very tough, and for the first time in an official speech, the word 'suzerain' is used, and China is indeed a suzerain, but it is a declining suzerain.

However, after the war, China's international status began to rise, and China was no longer a country that could be bullied.

When dealing with the Chinese issue, the great powers must consider the factors of China's political axe before making a decision.

At the press conference, Lin Xiyu continued: "We can accept mediation on the matter of mediation of war by various countries, we in China are not keen on war, but we feel that we are insincere at this time, we have not yet received their surrender documents, if they are willing to surrender, then we in China are willing to accept mediation." ”

The surrender of the Shandong army only represents the army in Shandong, but cannot represent the political axe.

There is no document of surrender for the political axe, and it is very difficult to get the political axe to surrender.

But as far as the warring sides are concerned, at this time the political axe of East China has the upper hand, and Yue Ben is in a complete disadvantage, and the only way to stop the war is to surrender.

Surrender is divided into conditional surrender and unconditional surrender, and it is possible to surrender conditionally, but the East China Political Axe has not yet received the conditional surrender intention of the Prince, and it is naturally impossible to agree to mediation at this time.

At this time, they still wanted a decent way to end the war, and the last thing they wanted was to surrender.

Surrender means bowing your head and admitting defeat!

…… October 7th!

The East China Army surrounded Lushun, and the Lushun army refused to surrender to China with its strong fortress, and 30,000 troops resisted stubbornly in the city of Lushun.

Lushun is indeed a headache place, the 30,000 troops in it not only have a strong defense, but also Lushun also has Chinese people.

In the end, Xia Jun still did not approve the offensive plan, but ordered most of the East China Army to march towards Dandong in order to threaten the Korea occupied by Yuben.

It is said that the people of Benzheng did not feel too fortunate that the East China Army did not seem to be in a hurry to attack Lushun, because the East China Army did not attack most likely preparing the kind of super-large caliber siege artillery, just like the kind of huge artillery used by the Germans when attacking Belgian fortresses.

If the East China Army launched an attack immediately, it would be happy to say that the political axe would be happy, because the fortifications of Lushun were strong, and they could rely on these fortifications to inflict great damage on the East China Army.

But now that the East China Army does not attack, there will be no way.

Lushun's 30,000 troops were already outcasts, and the political axe was no longer able to reinforce them, so the political axe only hoped that this abandonment could cause greater damage to China and make the East China army pay a greater price.

The main force of the East China Army began to march towards Korea, which made the political axe of the East China Army feel tremendous pressure.

If there is no mediation with the East China political axe, then North Korea will really not be protected!

It is said that there are not many troops in North Korea, there are only two divisions and regiments, a total of less than 100,000 people, if you add the two devils in North Korea, there are more people, but it seems that they are not the top thing, those two devils can only fight a tailwind battle, and they can't even fight a tailwind battle.

The DPRK army repeatedly asked for support from the mainland, but the political axe could only be stubbornly applied, and once again urgently mobilized 300,000 people to send it to the DPRK.

It is said that it is very close to North Korea, and the nearest is Tsushima Island, and although the combined fleet of Tsushima was destroyed, they still have ships.

The defeat of the army in Shandong, nearly a million people were lost, these are the essence of the army, at this time there is not much of the essence of the army, and the political axe still feels confident that it will block the East China army in Korea, but this needs to ask the Entente and the United States for help.

If they can forcefully intervene in the Far Eastern military, then it is not impossible to stabilize their position.
