Chapter 360: Heavenly Punishment Plan (Part II)
It's just that the so-called chivalry has been criticized in the Chinese army for many years, and the two of them can't say it directly, so they can only persuade from another angle, "If you do this, the two countries will be completely immortal in the future, right?" ”
"Isn't it now? How do Americans treat the Chinese diaspora? They have long regarded us as mortal enemies? Can we still repay our grievances with virtue? Don't you hear, 'Repay grievances with virtue, how can you repay virtue?' ’? After hearing this, Li Hui sneered and asked, "According to incomplete statistics, since the implementation of the Chinese Exclusion Act, more than 100,000 overseas Chinese in the United States have died unexpectedly, and in the late Qing Dynasty, as the second largest tobacco dealer after Britain, how many Chinese were poisoned by it and their families were ruined in the past few decades?" How should this blood debt be calculated? Never die? It's supposed to be endless! ”
"What's more, the United States has been carrying the original sin since the day it was born, and it has repaid the grace of saving lives by slaughtering and exterminating the race, which is the greatest evil to repay the greatest kindness, and there is nothing more evil in the world than this, and there is actually a proud face to commemorate in the name of the so-called 'Thanksgiving', it can be seen how shameless these scum of mankind have been, even the beasts are inferior!" Li Hui unceremoniously unveiled a period of black history of the United States, and infinitely elevated the justice of the war against the United States, "Born of sin, we deserve to die of shame, we must not only seek justice for our compatriots, but also punish on behalf of heaven, and thoroughly liquidate the accumulated crimes committed in the history of the United States to set an example!" I suggest that the volunteers be named the 'Heavenly Punishment Column' and allow them to do whatever it takes to fight against the most evil country in the world in the eastern United States, a country that can introduce the Chinese Exclusion Act and still has widespread support, even among ordinary people, I am afraid that there are not many innocent people......"
Since Li Hui said so, everyone can only raise their hands to support this so-called "Heavenly Punishment Plan", but everyone inevitably doubts in their hearts, this kind of mission is completely mortal, and there is no special reward, in addition to booking the title of martyr, how many soldiers (including those who have been discharged) are really willing to participate?
As a result, Li Hui was shocked by the number of people who signed up, and the number of people who signed up among the active soldiers alone exceeded 100,000, and if the veterans were also counted, they were almost 300,000. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Li Hui only then knew that there were already so many righteous people in China who were willing to sacrifice their lives for the country unconditionally, which made him feel very relieved and proud, because this first showed that Momen was very popular with the masses, at least the soldiers, and the efforts to change the Chinese folk customs over the years can also be seen from it.
However, Li Hui did not plan to really send these righteous soldiers to the North American battlefield, because the so-called conscription was just a show, and Li Hui's formulation of the so-called "Heavenly Punishment Plan" was actually completely tailored for the biochemical soldiers, first, considering that the troops composed entirely of biochemical soldiers could easily let the "clones" follow the past as a mobile supply station, not afraid of arousing suspicion and causing trouble; The second is that Li Hui really can't afford the military salaries of so many biochemical soldiers, and he originally planned to make another big cut, so he just used the war to consume it, which is considered waste utilization, which is much more cost-effective than direct dismissal......
Although in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, an astonishing amount of precious metals was obtained through foreign wars and domestic seizures, but after all, it was only a one-time transaction, and because the foundation of old China was too poor, Li Hui had to recruit nearly 400,000 biochemical soldiers successively, and the military salary expenditure was as high as hundreds of tons of gold (or thousands of tons of silver) a month at most, and the research system technology and the direct use of the system to produce various materials also cost real money and silver, no matter how thick the family foundation can not withstand such a squander!
Therefore, after several years of training a group of barely usable "talents", Li Hui began to lay off employees continuously from 1903, and now the total number of biochemical soldiers has dropped sharply to more than 220,000, and the monthly military salary expenditure has also dropped to fifty or sixty tons of gold. But even so, it's still a daunting expense, considering that in the 1900s there was not so much gold produced in the world in a month.
It is worth mentioning that because Li Hui exported advanced mining and metallurgical technology and the price of gold and silver skyrocketed, the enthusiasm of Western capitalists for gold and silver exploration and mining was promoted, so that the annual output of gold and silver in the world was several times higher than that of the same period in history, and a considerable part of it flowed into China in the form of trade surpluses; In addition, the Chinese government has also invested heavily in domestic gold mines and South African platinum mines, accounting for more than 20% of the world's precious metal production. Combined, these two large pieces of income account for more than one-third of the world's total production, and when converted into gold, there are probably hundreds of tons per month.
However, not to mention that these precious metals cannot all be collected into the system, because some of them have to be put outside so as not to be suspicious of the slightest gold and silver artifacts, and the previous accumulation alone consumes most of it (the system balance still has more than 100 tons of platinum, more than 500 tons of gold and more than 40,000 tons of silver. It is necessary for Li Hui to replenish the inventory again, first, to keep it in case of emergency, such as what needs to be produced by the system to meet the emergency, and second, to study in advance the funds for the future of the 1919 system science and technology that is not even able to be studied because of the great punishment of the age (in 1900, the science and technology have been fully studied, that is, the research of the system technology has been suspended again. At that time, there will be much more real money needed than all the precious metals spent on the previous research on system technology combined!
Therefore, it is still necessary to continue to lay off troops, of course, it is almost the same to lose tens of thousands of people, which is exactly the strength of a division. Although biochemical troops are very expensive, China, which still has a weak foundation and is difficult and uneasy to introduce Western talents, still cannot do without them. In addition to the flat and open terrain in the eastern part of the United States, which is suitable for infantry divisions, it is mainly because of this consideration, although high salaries are not good, but what is even worse is that they are not useful enough.
In a sense, the enthusiastic signing up of the soldiers gave Li Hui a headache, if he really wanted it, he would not be able to give full play to the advantages of the whole biochemical army, and the sacrifice of those warriors was not worth it; But don't do it, and you need to think of a suitable reason, otherwise it is easy to dampen their patriotic enthusiasm. Fortunately, although most of the biochemical soldiers are "married", there are still many single ones, and most of them are orphans from Xia Ke Island, and they have no family to worry about, which is a good reason, as long as the non-biochemical soldiers who meet the conditions are few to a certain extent, finding an excuse to refuse will not have much negative impact......
