readx; The rate of expansion of the army in 1918 also slowed down, and it was intended to increase the number of troops by another 300,000 to 2.3 million, and in 1919 to increase by another 300,000 to 2.6 million, gradually increasing to 3 million troops at this rate, and stabilizing the total strength of the army at about 3 million.

A full-scale war was unlikely for a long time after World War I, so the 3 million army strength was mainly used to reserve reservists.

Reservists are discharged from the army after two years of enlistment, and there is also the level of retirement after five years of enlistment, but that is for outstanding soldiers, and the army will pay them for three years.

The Air Force has almost repaired strategic airfields in various places, and the main expenses have basically been completed, and there is no need to be in such a hurry to upgrade the aircraft.

The air forces of all countries are not comparable to China, so why should China rush to equip new aircraft.

However, the Air Force has begun to study the topic of breaking through the speed of sonic flight, and will begin to develop new military aircraft after the engine technology is improved.

After the new aircraft is developed, it does not mean that it needs to be equipped, it can be stored first, and then manufactured on a large scale when it is needed on the battlefield.

Otherwise, the empire doesn't have so much money if it keeps changing planes.

As for the new plane, selling the old aircraft to other countries is not a loss.

That is a big mistake, at present, the military aircraft of the Chinese Air Force belong to the world's advanced level, and other countries have not yet figured out the technology of China's aircraft, if these aircraft are sold to other countries, the technology of the old aircraft will be stolen by other countries, so as to catch up, then the new aircraft equipped with the same is not too far ahead. In fact, the military aircraft currently equipped are not obsolete, even if they have the technology of military aircraft in the 21st century.

Most of the funds for the construction of warships in the Navy have already been in place, so there is not much need for this year, mainly part of the funds for the manufacture of warships, which is the final stage. Then there is the cost of training and maintenance of warships, but the navy is indeed a gold-swallowing beast, and the military expenditure on training and maintenance alone is not small.

The amount of training is large, the loss of ships is large, and the shells are too large, and it costs money.

If the training is small, then the military expenditure will be much smaller, but it is not as easy to build a navy as the army, so it is necessary to keep the navy in good combat effectiveness at all times, which requires continuous training.

Through continuous training and the vigorous training of commanders, the German Navy was able to defeat the British Navy tactically with inferior forces in naval battles, which is enough to prove how important training is, even if the British are the world's naval hegemon, but they also suffer in the face of the well-trained German Navy.

The Chinese Navy is now in the midst of a frenzied training, and officers and soldiers are self-conscious.

They have an ideal, which is to become the strongest navy in the world.

When you have a common ideal, you become very united.

The reason why this ideal can be widely accepted is that the navy has the most advanced hardware equipment in the world, and what it lacks is software.

If the Navy's warships are bad, then no one will really agree with this idea, so how can a rotten warship become the strongest navy in the world? The result of not agreeing with this ideal is disunity and lack of active training. When the time comes, I feel inferior in terms of hardware, and I am frustrated in training, so I naturally have no confidence to defeat my opponent.

Confidence is gained through training, and it also requires some hardware foundation.

It's like a primitive army, no matter how they are trained, they are nothing more than a modern army of hot weapons.

After the Chinese Navy has a hardware foundation, it is very conscious in training, coupled with the vigorous attention to the atmosphere and training of officers and soldiers by Xie Baozhang and other admirals, the Chinese Navy has begun to grow rapidly.

The Navy is also actively collecting data on water patterns in various sea areas, and has established a systematic database, which is being collected through the activities of merchant ships and fishing vessels.

Although there has been a decrease in military spending, the budget of the Ministry of Armed Forces has increased considerably.

The Ministry of Armed Forces, in conjunction with the Ministry of Education, will conduct military training for school students, the most costly of which is target training.

Shooting at a target requires a lot of bullets, just as 20 million students need 10 rounds of ammunition per person a week, 200 million rounds of ammunition in a week, 800 million rounds of ammunition in a month, and at least 8 billion rounds of ammunition in a year after deducting holidays.

In Europe, for example, the number of troops on each side is about 1 million, and on average, a soldier can get 8,000 rounds of ammunition based on a million.

In fact, it is even higher, because the proportion of students will be more than one-tenth of the population in the future, which is 450 million, or 1 in 10 people, and the boys in the school will be trained in target shooting, and the girls will participate in target training on a voluntary basis.

Therefore, it may consume 10 billion rounds of ammunition a year, and the cost will naturally be larger.

However, the target training in school was highly approved by Xia Jun and the military, because it could maintain the scale of China's military industry.

The production of these bullets does not require making money, it is supplied to students at cost price for target shooting, but it can keep China's military industry running.

As a result of the continuous operation of the military industry, the production process is getting better and better, the production cost is getting lower and lower, and the production speed is getting faster and faster.

After the outbreak of the war, China had a huge military manufacturing industry that was constantly maintained, and it would not be because of the lack of ammunition in a hurry.

In fact, the manufacturing cost of one bullet is not high, although the number of 10 billion rounds of ammunition is large, but the actual cost is less than 100 million yuan.

One dollar revival coin makes 100 rounds of ammunition, which is very easy, in fact, the production cost of bullets is nearly 300 rounds per dollar.

The reason why bullets are so cheap is that Chinese-made bullets are made of steel shells, not copper shells, and the materials for making steel-shelled bullets are cheap as long as they cost a little labor.

Therefore, the Ministry of Finance allocated 100 million yuan to provide students with 30 rounds of ammunition every week, and allocated another 500 million yuan to build large shooting ranges in various places.

The shooting range should be fully secured and have enough open space.

Able to shoot all kinds of firearms, but also equipped with all kinds of guns, pistols, hitch rifles, semi-automatic rifles, sniper rifles, submachine guns, light machine guns, and even heavy machine guns.

Next year, we will continue to allocate 500 million yuan to continue to build large-scale shooting ranges in various localities until most, if not all, of schools across the country can allow students to shoot targets.

Boys who reach the age of 10 are required to undergo one day of military training each week, half a day of target shooting, and half a day of training in other disciplines.

At the same time, military training will be conducted once a month for three consecutive days, and once a year for one month, and military training will be introduced into the education system.

In the future, if these children are sent to the battlefield, Xia Jun sometimes feels unbearable, but there is no choice for national rejuvenation, and the future conflict with international capital will also be death.

The military training at this time is to enable them to better survive on the battlefield in the future.

The introduction of military training into the education system also provides a guarantee for the survival of the military industry.

The budgets of other departments are basically similar every year, and the Ministry of Construction and the Ministry of Water Resources have spent more money this year, mainly for infrastructure repairs.

After nearly 10 years of development, the infrastructure of the coastal provinces has been relatively perfect, the railways and highways have been largely repaired, and the infrastructure of the inland provinces and northern provinces has not yet been put in place, so more money has been allocated this year.

When Xia Jun was working on next year's budget, the United States sent a note to discuss with China about sending troops to intervene in the Soviet and Russian civil wars.

Legend has it that there is an eye-like gem on the Egyptian pyramids, which has been acquired by international capital, and it is likely that the spectacular sight of the Egyptian pyramids has been photographed, and the US dollar has a pyramid printed on it, and the top of the pyramid has a glowing eye.

And this eye appears frequently in many trademarks in the United States.

The American system is like a pyramid, and the businessmen at the top of the pyramid decide the fate of the whole country, just like Rothschild said, as long as I control the money, I don't care who is the president. The 'Federal Reserve' created by Rothschild and other international capitalists controls the printing of money in the United States, and money is nothing to international capital, it is just a pile of paper, which can be printed as much as you want.

The way they control the United States is very simple, first find the person who is running for president, and then give him millions of dollars, which can make the president rich, and in order to prevent the president from dealing with them, they will also send an envelope with bullets. The meaning is obvious, one heaven and one hell, which one do you choose?

International capital has penetrated all fields of the United States, education, health care, industry, etc., and they can make whoever they want to be president.

For disobedient presidents and parliamentarians, they use all kinds of violent means, such as assassination, beating, causing accidents, surveillance, and so on.

As for the fact that it is difficult for the American people to perceive the existence of international capital, it is because the people at the highest level of the conference do not know, and the people at the next level only know what they are going to do, and then they give the task to the next level, and the next level does not know what happened at the previous level.

In this way, level by level, each level does not know what is going on behind the previous level.

At the same time, international capital through the continuous printing of paper money, at the same time by lowering interest rates, increasing loans to overdraft consumption, when a large number of paper money into the market, everyone will find that they are very rich, there will be a large number of commercial activities, so that the whole country began to frantic construction, consumption, enterprises are also crazy to increase production.

It's like fishing, and when the fish is almost gone, the banks start raising interest rates and start fleeing the stock market.

Loans are suddenly reduced, companies run out of loans, and funds are cut off immediately, and the result is that they cannot survive, and then they have to lay off employees, or even go bankrupt.

When the economy of the whole country suddenly collapses, and the economy of the whole society is extremely depressed, the real estate becomes extremely cheap.

But after bankruptcy, the loan still has to be repaid.

What to do at this time? Naturally, the real estate is used to pay back, and in this way, the real estate is controlled by the bank.

In addition to the real estate mortgaged to the banks, the banks again printed paper money to buy land, factories and other resources at a very low price due to the Great Depression.

When the control is almost over, another battle is being fought, and the economy is rising.

What is called the empty glove white wolf, this is the empty glove white wolf, and the wealth of the entire country is firmly in control. Someone else prints paper money and calls it counterfeit, while they print paper money to increase the money supply.

The reason why U.S. paper money is controlled by international capital is because the United States has been shrouded in the play of international capital for a long time, and finally reached the period when the Federal Reserve was established, that is, a few years ago, international capital began to completely control the United States.

In contrast, China's additional currency issuance is more stringent, and the currency is issued by the central bank. Xia Jun is more excited about the American system, but to play the game of empty gloves and white wolves, the wealth that he ultimately controls must be owned by the state, not handed over to private control.

Moreover, continuous overdraft consumption can greatly stimulate economic development, just like the era of the Internet bubble, people continue to erect submarine cables, which was indeed unwise at the time, but later created the prosperity of the Internet.

When the state controls a lot of wealth, it can provide better welfare to every citizen.

However, Xia Jun just thought about it, and he was not prepared to implement this plan for the time being.

Xia Jun immediately rejected the note from the United States, and asked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to send a note to the United States, claiming that China would intervene in the Soviet and Russian civil wars alone in the Far East, and warned the United States and Yu Ben not to try to set foot on the territory that China was about to recover.

At the same time, negotiations between the Chinese political axe and Kolchak have also begun.

The original Russian Provisional Political Axe was finished, and this new Provisional Political Axe was obviously much easier to talk than the original, and Kolchak, in the face of the rebellion of the Soviet Red Army, knew that China could not be offended at this time.

The Chinese political axe gave Kolchak two options: first, sign an agreement with China to abolish the unequal treaties and accept a claim of 3 billion yuan, then China could intervene in the Soviet Russian civil war with arms and help Kolchak resist the Soviet Red Army.

Second, if it refuses to sign relevant agreements with China, China will block the lines of communication in the Far East and come to the aid of Soviet power.

"If the Russian Provisional Axe is willing to accept the first article, then we can postpone the claim of 3 billion yuan until the Provisional Axe has eliminated the rebellion, and then gradually pay this reparation after the economy has achieved a certain development." Zhu Xiaocheng said during negotiations with the Russian Provisional Political Axe.

One heaven and one hell, it's up to you to choose.

Wise rulers will choose heaven, and although this is detrimental to the nation, it is better to pretend to be a grandson first if there is not enough strength to resist.

As long as the treaty proposed by China is signed, then you can get China's armed support, as well as material support, this condition is very tempting for Kolchak.

However, he still counted on the support of Britain, the United States, France, and other countries to a certain extent, but at the moment when China was warning the United States, the Russian Provisional Governor knew that China would gain dominance in the Far East.
