Chapter 398: Third World Alliance Anti-dumping Plan
readx; Most of the martyrs who died before the founding of the country were also knighted, and when they were knighted, it was equivalent to covering the coffin, and the martyrs who died in the founding of the country would not be rewarded in the future. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
After Xia Jun ascended the throne, he quickly raised the ranks of the officers in the army, and now that he has a knighthood, he doesn't have to use his military rank to hang his appetite.
In terms of titles, the dukes of the empire are divided into first, second, and third dukes, and the same is true for marquis and earl, which greatly improves the space for 'practice and upgrading', so that the officers have enough space to struggle, so as not to get the time when the empire has no reward.
Different titles have different reward standards, and the first level is higher than the first level anyway.
These titles are allowed to be hereditary, but the titles continue to decline from generation to generation, which can bless the descendants, which increases the attractiveness of the titles.
As for those soldiers and officers who are still in the army, they will not be knighted.
In the past ten years, the Chinese Empire has retired three batches of regular army soldiers, and at the same time retired five batches of production corps.
Regular army soldiers generally specialize in a combat skill, artillery specializes in artillery, armored troops specialize in driving combat vehicles, and snipers specialize in snipers.
In short, it is qualified to practice the things in the division and be able to react instinctively.
After all, the Chinese Empire was a regular army of three million, and three large numbers were retired one after another, and the reserve of the regular army had reached nine million.
The cannon fodder reserve trained by the production corps has 15 million.
That is to say, as soon as a full-scale war begins, the empire will be able to mobilize these reserves, at least half of them to the battlefield.
Among them, those soldiers who have retired from the regular army, because they specialize in practicing a combat skill, so when the time comes, they only need to train casually when they re-enlist, so that they can remember what they have forgotten.
The division of labor within the Imperial Chinese Army was very clear, so although it was only trained for three years, it was able to train the soldiers very well.
Only special forces are trained in a more comprehensive way, and the reason why they are called special forces is because of this difference.
When mobilizing, as long as the different arms are combined, it is a field division.
Those who have been particularly skilled in combat skills will remain in the army as grassroots officers. There is also fierce competition among officers, and those who are compared to each other should become reserve officers!
These reserve officers are going to play a major role in the future, so they can't be left to their own devices, and the Empire has specially raised these reserve officers and let them continue to study and study things related to commanding operations.
In future wars, command is very important; as long as the middle-level and grass-roots commanders can give full play to their normal role, the combat effectiveness of the reserve forces will not be bad; as for the high-level commanders, it is more about strategic command, and at the same time, tactical command, and so on, as long as the grass-roots and middle-level commanders do not instigate, the high-level commanders will not make any mistakes.
For high-level commanders, they are arranged in the overall situation, and things are generally considered relatively thoroughly, so if all links can be arranged correctly, then there is no problem. If something goes wrong in one of these areas, it can affect the whole picture.
If the ability of middle- and grass-roots officers is strong enough, they will be able to reduce the occurrence of such problems.
However, for the time being, the empire will not start a war, I am afraid that it will be a few more years, when the reserve of the Chinese empire will be even larger.
The real value of these reserves is the reserve officers.
Many reserve officers have experienced war, or through study and exercises, they know what to do when they encounter problems on the battlefield.
Therefore, these reserve officers, even if they are retired, are constantly studying and studying how to deal with various problems under the organization of the empire, and the empire has also specially organized experimental troops to simulate the battlefield environment, so that these reserve officers can improve their command ability.
Xia Jun has spent a lot of time in improving the combat effectiveness of the army in recent years, and the most energy spent on training officers.
He often discussed war issues in the new era with the officers, and in the face of new war topics, the army, navy, and air force all worked out a set of things, which were only waiting for the test of war.
In the construction of the army, navy and air force, Xia Jun mainly focused on the army and air force, while the navy Xie Baozhang was the professional, and Xia Jun was only responsible for building better warships and weapons for the navy.
In Xia Jun's view, the so-called 10-year army, 50-year air force, and 100-year navy are not quite correct. Although there is a certain amount of truth, in Xia Jun's view, when it is promoted to a certain level, the army has to devote more energy than the air force to grasp it.
After all, the army is large, and the war is mainly fought in the army.
As for the Air Force, it is also very important, without the superiority of the Air Force, the Army will be finished. But the Air Force is much simpler than the Army's complex surname.
As long as the Air Force maintains its technological superiority, the hardware will be upgraded. At the same time, the pilots' personal skills have been improved, logistics management has been improved, and command has been very simple.
And the scale of the army is so large, it is a very complex system, and the command volume is also very large.
Therefore, Xia Jun believes that the army is the most complex branch of the military, the so-called ten-year army, fifty-year air force, and hundred-year navy, in fact, refers more to military technology, Westerners pay more attention to military technology in terms of war, and willpower can only be said to be average.
What Xia Jun doesn't lack is technology.
China's army, navy, and air force mainly need to consider two aspects: command and logistics.
The Army is the most difficult to command, and the logistics are the most complex. The Navy is second, and the Air Force is again.
Since Xia Jun devoted more energy to army building and further consolidated his position, he did not need to purge officers like Stalin did.
The end result of Stalin's purges was to make the command of Soviet officers super-bad.
At this time, Xia Jun ascended the throne, and even if he handed over all the military power, no one would be able to threaten his position, because no one could shout rebellion.
Whoever rebels is the enemy of the whole people, and 60,000,000 people will not let him go. At most, it can incite a group of people, even if Xia Jun is killed, the other troops will definitely go crazy.
And Xia Jun is still grasping the military power at this time! No one can threaten him, and Xia Jun will not purge anyone, so the Chinese Emperor [***] side is very united.
Unity is strength!
After this military parade, the Chinese Empire continued to advance according to the original planned track.
The reform of the East China Group was also carried out, and after many discussions in the National Assembly on how to carry out the reform, it was decided to reserve a 10% stake in the East China Group Army to the royal family.
According to the merits of the emperor, it is completely justified to keep 10% of the shares, and even many people feel that it is a little too low.
However, Xia Jun only needed 1% of the shares in the end, and the more money was just a bunch of numbers, and 10% of the shares were used to eat!
1% of the shares is already a lot, the annual output value of the East China Group is hundreds of billions of yuan, and last year alone made a profit of more than 80 billion Asian dollars.
A 1% stake is an annual increase in assets of $800 million, which is a fixed 1% and will not be diluted. Moreover, Xia Jun was the only shareholder of East China Group before, and it was a sole shareholder. After nationalization, he is still only one private shareholder, so the dividends are only shared by him, and if the East China Group still makes a profit of more than 80 billion yuan a year, then it is not a big problem to deduct the money left for development and get a dividend of 300 million or 400 million Asian yuan a year.
Xia Jun can't spend so much money himself, but the royal family always has to have some money, and the royal family, as a national example, has to take the lead when it is time to pay, such as donations from a disaster in a certain place, etc.
Especially in China in this era, there are still many traditional good customs, so the rulers are not separated from society many times, and they do not hide behind the scenes, as if they do not care about any social phenomena, and they are not clear.
Therefore, it is not good for the supreme leader to be without money.
Just like when Li Yuanhong was a puppet president, he was simply miserable, and he had to donate money from time to time, and his income plus the income from stocks was a little beyond his means.
If it was Yuan Shikai, it wouldn't, Yuan Shikai would be rich. Xia Jun also has money, so much money that makes him generous every time he faces donations.
The annual income of three or four billion Asian dollars is enough for Xia Jun to spend a lot of money.
After Xia Jun ascended the throne, the family structure was still like that, there were no eunuchs and palace maids, and the layout of the Forbidden City in Zhongjing was roughly similar to that of the Forbidden City in Yanjing, but the internal pattern was also very different.
First of all, there is no harem in the Forbidden City, and in the huge Zhongjing Forbidden City, most of the area is an artificial lake and garden, and when you enter the Zhonghua Gate, it is the Huangji Palace.
On both sides of the Huangji Hall Square, one is Wenzhao Pavilion, the other is Wucheng Pavilion, Wenzhao Pavilion is the place where the cabinet office, and Wucheng Pavilion is the office of the military department.
Xia Jun's residence is closer to the Huangji Palace, which is a modern building with oriental characteristics, which is larger than ordinary houses, but not too big.
There are only a dozen maids in the house, and there are none.
In the Forbidden City, except for the place where Xia Jun lives, you can't go in and out casually, there are guards to protect it, and other places are more relaxed, and the Forbidden City is open to the public on Saturdays and Sundays, allowing tourists to enter and play.
The Imperial Gardens of the Forbidden City in Chukyo are large and have several large artificial lakes. The Forbidden City also has facilities such as the Royal Zoo, the Royal Theatre, the Royal Playground, the Royal Horse Farm, the Royal Hunting Ground, the Royal Hotel, the Royal Museum and other facilities, which is indeed a good place to visit.
Just come in and play to charge a ticket, and you can't go overboard.
Although the movement of people in the Forbidden City is not too restrictive, the security force is very strong.
From Monday to Friday, the people who walk around the Forbidden City are the management and maintenance personnel in the Forbidden City.
The interior is open to the public, mainly to shorten the distance and create an image close to the people.
If you live in the deep palace for a long time, you will naturally be alienated from the people.
Therefore, there is no deep palace in the Forbidden City, and the emperor lives in a villa with oriental characteristics. Citizens are allowed to move around in other places, and Xia Jun often runs outside the city.
Moreover, the Forbidden City does not have a full section of the city wall, most of it is an iron fence, and only the Zhonghua Gate and other sections have a city tower, which eliminates the deep feeling of the Forbidden City a lot.
The Forbidden City in Zhongjing gives people the feeling that it is a place with an incomparably beautiful environment, and those gardens are designed by contemporary garden masters, and those garden masters rack their brains to design the gardens and come up with 120% of their skills.
However, at this time, the garden has not yet been completely completed, and the workers are still making corrections to the garden, and there are still many plants that have not fully grown.
The Forbidden City is also a place of fun, with plenty of rides and hotels.
In fact, Xia Jun spent a lot of money to build the Forbidden City and Zhongjing, in addition to thinking about the face of the empire, on the other hand, he did not intend to completely do loss-making business. Therefore, after the completion of the Forbidden City, it has a certain surname of commercial operation. It is open for business every Saturday and Sunday, and it is also open for business on holidays.
The business affairs are mainly handed over to the East China Group, and some projects are also contracted to Zhongsheng Group and Huasheng Group, and East China Group is not as experienced as Zhongsheng Group and Huasheng Group in the operation of these projects to a large extent.
There is a division of labor between East China Group and Zhongsheng and Huasheng Group, and Zhongsheng Group and Huasheng Group compete with each other, and at the same time, they are also united with each other to a certain extent.
This kind of operation does not affect Xia Jun's life, and Xia Jun does not have many family members.
Since he ascended the throne, he has tried to open the Forbidden City, and the Forbidden City has welcomed many tourists, and if there are only a few people in this huge Forbidden City, it will be a bit lifeless. The arrival of these tourists has filled the Forbidden City with vitality.
The Imperial Forbidden City is much more advanced than the White House in the United States, and the White House and the Forbidden City in Zhongjing are simply incomparable.
As the emperor, there is also a fixed monthly salary, according to the "Constitutional Monarchy", the emperor's monthly salary is 300,000 yuan.
Xia Jun really couldn't spend so much money, so Xia Jun raised a group of thoroughbred horses, and some famous horses from all over the world were introduced, and at the same time began to cultivate Chinese royal horses.
Anyway, these horses will definitely be able to be speculated at a high price in the future, and those coal bosses who are stupid and have a lot of money will definitely like it.
In the future, there will definitely be many coal bosses in other countries, of course, not only those who open coal mines, but also those who open other minerals. In later generations, even in the chaotic and impoverished areas of the Congo, people became rich and relied on selling resources to European and American countries.
According to the Yankees' development model, it requires a lot of resources, so in the future, it will definitely give rise to many 'coal bosses' who will be lackeys for the empire, and then use these luxury goods to make the money back to China from those who have become rich.
Since it is royal, it is necessary to make more luxury goods, and when the time comes, it will be a royal banner, and I am afraid that there will be no market?
It's definitely not possible to do it all yourself, but there is a doorway for procurement.
Whoever purchases it, who can make a trademark of 'royal use', and the value will naturally double, which has a huge supporting effect on supporting the luxury manufacturing industry of the empire.
Since the empire is a commercial country, it is normal for many things to be linked to commerce, which is the so-called not taking advantage of the small and not doing it.
Even the Forbidden City, and royal procurement, and other things, there are business articles to do.
In 1929, a very critical period, the Third World Alliance, under the auspices of the Chinese Empire, again convened several economic conferences.
After these economic conferences, the member countries of the Third World Union have signed the "Anti-dumping Plan", which stipulates that the plan will be activated immediately in the event of a dumping threat from outside the Union.
Even specific tariffs on commodities have been formulated, and the maximum tariff on commodities has been raised to an exaggerated level of 3,000%.
At the same time, the Chinese Empire raised its voice in red and anti-dumping, and at the same time set up an unofficial dumping early warning agency, and issued an orange dumping warning to the world in August 1929, the report claimed that the United States' commodity squeeze had reached a very serious point, the United States economy was very prone to collapse, if the United States economy collapsed, there would be a large number of goods dumped at ultra-low prices to the world, and then the economies of various countries would be dragged into the abyss, especially the countries that were seriously dependent on the United States economy, such as Germany.
The report reminds countries that imports should be closely monitored and that plans to increase tariffs should be developed in advance.
As soon as this early warning report came out, it immediately caused a great shock in the world, and soon the Third World Alliance announced the "Anti-dumping Plan."
The exaggeration of this plan is staggering, and the Third World Alliance has said that if the United States does dump goods on the world, then the Third World Alliance will collectively raise tariffs to protect its own economy.
The bankers on Wall Street in the United States suddenly burst into a rage, and their wishful thinking was so stirred up by the Third World League that most of them were suddenly in vain.
They want these goods to be dumped in other countries, and the main purpose is to bring down China's economy as well. But it is clearly unlikely, not only will the expectation of an economic shock to the Third World Alliance suffer, but other countries will also be prepared.
This has put the United States in a rather awkward position.
At the same time, worse effects are yet to come.
The emergence of this report has dealt a serious blow to the confidence of American investors, and at the same time, the stock market has continued to lose money, which also confirms the credibility of the report of the Chinese Empire.
The American capitalists hurriedly mobilized all the forces of public opinion to refute this report, but there was some loosening in the stock market.
Fortunately, the bank paid and bought a lot of sold stocks to stop the decline of the stock market.
In fact, for those big capitalists on Wall Street, they want the stock market to rise when they want it to rise, and they want the stock market to fall when they want it to fall, and it is only a question of whether to take the money out or not.
Therefore, the capitalists of Wall Street are always active, and all investors are passive, so investors are destined to be played by these big capitalists. And if you don't want to be played, you can't be played, if you don't play, other people will play, and you will be played in disguise.
Although the report of the Chinese Empire hit the confidence of some investors, most investors still have a lot of confidence when the stock market is still rising, and the media has attacked the report and claimed that it is nonsense.
This is not the case in other countries, where the report is taken very seriously.
The commodity squeeze in the United States has indeed become a problem that cannot be ignored, and once the American economy collapses, it will indeed have the outcome predicted in that report.
