"Including the troops left behind in Vancouver, at most 300,000 ground troops will be invested, and with the size of China, this burden is not a drop in the bucket, nor is it a heavy burden. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info", listening to Li Hui's words, there is no need to worry about the domestic ration problem, but at most, 300,000 ground troops will be invested, can they win the war? You must know that the United States now has more than 1 million standing armies, and it is not impossible for the United States to reach more than 3 million after general mobilization, or even more than 5 million!

"Didn't I say that before? With the superiority of our army's combat effectiveness, two or three hundred thousand ground troops are enough to stabilize the front in the United States, even if it is not enough to completely defeat the United States. Li Hui replied with a little dissatisfaction. Due to the natural defect of the lack of leadership of the biochemical soldiers, and because the consumption of precious metals is too fast, before and after the completion of the foundation plan, Li Hui successively dismissed more than 100,000 biochemical soldiers (the total number has been reduced from more than 380,000 at the peak to more than 220,000), including many high-level biochemical soldiers in high positions (most of them pretended to return to Xia Ke Island), and then the firing line promoted a large number of young cadres to take over, but at present, it may be a little seedling, and the quality of most of them is not as good as those biochemical soldiers, not to mention anything else, Memory is far behind, and good work habits also need to take time to cultivate......

On the contrary, the performance of those old bureaucrats is okay, at least their brains are enough, after all, they can get into a not low position in the old officialdom, and they can still be retained by Li Hui after liberation, all of them are human spirits. is also questioning, Yuan Shikai asked much more valuable, "But if the United States cannot be completely defeated, if the US government does not admit defeat, won't it become a long-term war of attrition?" If such a situation is formed, the other powers will have to reap the benefits of the fisherman......"

"This possibility is indeed there, but I don't think it's too big, the United States is a typical business country, and it has always been a priority for interests, so it won't be so emotional." When Li Hui said this, a smile appeared on his face again, "What's more, it doesn't matter if it really goes on all the time, because the only one in the world that can become our fierce rival is the United States, and even if other countries take advantage of the fisherman's profits?" Their population has already determined the upper limit of development, and even if they make a lot of money by selling arms, their national strength will not be able to surpass that of China and the United States. Well, the population of Lao Maozi is more than that of the United States, but they are not afraid of a radical change......"

"As long as the war is fought in the United States, then our domestic economy will continue to develop, and the United States will be greatly affected, and the loss of national strength will definitely be several times that of us. As long as the United States, the only strong enemy, weakens, we have earned it, and this war is worth fighting. Li Hui said confidently, "What's more, the United States has a natural flaw as a country of immigrants, that is, it is difficult for some citizens to share happiness and happiness but not to share weal and besiegement. In fact, not to mention the real fighting, in the past few years, we have only held exercises on the border between the two countries from time to time to create tensions, and the American population began to leave the country (of course, because the age structure of the United States is still very young, and the Puritan culture also helps to increase the fertility rate, the current population growth rate of the United States is still okay, no matter how low it is, it is more than 1%. In the last three years, more people have emigrated from the United States than there have been foreigners who have immigrated to the United States. ”

Li Hui's analysis relieved most of the doubters, but the Minister of Agriculture continued to ask, "But the long-term war will still displease the people in the country, right?" ”

"That's not your remit, is it? Do you want to be the prime minister? Li Hui was a little unhappy in his heart, and even made up his mind to replace, but he didn't show it on his face, and explained a few words simply, "The people's opposition to the war has never been because they hate the war itself, but because their interests have been damaged in the war, or that the benefits they can gain from the war are not enough to make up for the losses they have suffered. ”

"Although this war is a full-scale war between the two largest countries in the world, the scale is not very large, and the human, financial and material resources required are not even as good as disaster prevention and relief. Li Hui said that his mouth was somewhat dry now, he took a sip of water from the teacup and moistened his throat, and then continued, "In the long run, after we win the war, we can get more land and resources from the United States, so that our economy can develop faster and better; In the short term, war is terrible, but it is also a great opportunity for the children of civilians to change their fate, although the number of people who can really make great contributions will not be many, but this can bring hope and longing to the people, which is enough, enough for them to endure the hardships in life, not to mention that their lives are not so hard. ”

When Li Hui said this, he couldn't help but think of the historical competition between the United States and the Soviet Union, in fact, for a long time, because of the more equitable distribution relationship, if it was only compared with the living standards of the low-level civilians who accounted for the majority of the population, the Soviet Union would surpass the United States, but in fact, the Soviets still yearn for the United States, not only because of the strength of the United States as a whole, but also because hope will always think better, even if it is an assembly line worker with no technical content. The conjecture is at least the life of the middle class and petty bourgeoisie (this can be seen only by seeing what level the heroes and heroines of the soap operas that ordinary housewives like are at least, not that the playwright is detached from the masses, but that the theme of poor life cannot attract the audience. And the intellectuals aspired to the life of the Western tycoons, so that the Soviet system was naturally unattractive.

Therefore, after achieving food and clothing, it is more important for a regime to gain the support of the common people than to have hope for the future than the current living conditions, and under the current system in China, the war can bring hope to ordinary people to change their own destiny. Will the war make the Chinese people dissatisfied? Wrong, there has been peace and no war to fight, and they will be dissatisfied! (To be continued.) )
