Unconsciously, Li Guang's life began to change to that of an actor.

At first, some activities arranged by the secretary team, such as attending the groundbreaking ceremony of a certain school, reflected Li Guang's emphasis on education. Occasionally, there is also a courtesy cut for the start of a certain enterprise to show support for a certain enterprise.

Gradually, under the reasons of stabilizing people's hearts, enhancing cohesion, and being close to the people, Li Guang often appeared in the fields and workshop sites, asking the people for warmth. As for giving some speeches, it is even more commonplace.

This kind of activity made Li Guang ruthlessly pass the addiction of an official master. No wonder the leaders of later generations like to inspect, call and hug, plus the sycophants are like a tide, it is really enjoyable, and the feeling of pointing out the country is really good, fluttering.

Inspecting various places, Li Guang gave full play to his foresight. Li Guang knows that he is not an all-rounder, but in terms of knowledge, a person who travels through naturally has a great advantage. A lot of projects, a lot of projects, he was able to give some insights. And these insights have been proven almost entirely true decades later.

Li Guang felt that he was not pointing fingers indiscriminately, and rarely expressed his opinions in areas that he did not understand. It won the unanimous approval and support of experts and officials.

In the dark night, I can't help but be complacent, and I have learned to be a leader.

It wasn't until July that Premier Yuan approached Li Guang.

Li Guang was a little dumbfounded and overspended.

Overspending, Li Guang should say that he knows. Because, recently, under the mediation of Truman, Haitang purchased a production line of F4F Wildcat fighters from the United States. More than $14 million was spent.

Not to mention that the Wildcat fighters are not advanced enough, it makes little sense to buy such a production line, and it costs a lot of money. The equipment of a fighter line is not worth much, I am afraid that it is not even worth three million dollars. Even with the addition of a series of special molds, special tools. It's not worth half a million dollars.

However, as with many projects, it is not the equipment itself that matters, but the production process and technical data. At present, the technicians of Haitang Kingdom are not a matter of Shenma to design a fighter that is more advanced than the Wildcat fighter or even the Hellcat fighter. But the problem is that the designed fighter cannot be built, it is purely utopian. It's easy to have drawings, but it's easy to make qualified parts. Without mature and perfect process parameters and explored alloy materials, it is simply impossible??? In the twenty-first century, a material can be analyzed by modern spectroscopy. However, in this era, only inaccurate chemical analysis methods can be used, and the trace elements contained in materials are uncertain data.

Although the materials of this era are far from being as high-end as those of the 21st century, there are errors in the selection of materials. There's a huge gap in reliability. The manufacturing process is even more difficult. This thing was purely tested with money. For example, a simple shaft part. The process can be two or three steps. It can also be dozens of steps.

If you can build a fighter just by drawing or in kind, it is pure nonsense. In the 21 st century, China has so many imported fighters and planes, and military enterprises have spent countless funds to produce advanced fighters and qualified engines. In fact, the main reason is stuck in the material and process.

Haitang because of the overall gap in technology. Suffered too much in the manufacturing sector. For example, why does the three-inch cannon series of Haitang Kingdom always use Soviet cannon steel? Could it be that Li Guang is reluctant to invest in a few electric furnaces? That thing is actually not worth much, and there are many electric furnaces for smelting alloy steel in Haitang Kingdom, not to mention, there are thirty or fifty units. It has also been tried many times. However, the steel produced could not reach the level of the Soviet Union, and it was barely enough to make shells.

Another example, Li Guang has worked hard for several years on diesel engines. Without the outsourcing of American enterprises, even if Li Guang had purchased a full set of equipment, it would still be difficult to build a qualified diesel engine. For the casting of just one body, Li Guang's investment is hundreds of thousands of dollars, but so far the process is still immature.

In short, whether it is materials or processing technology, it can only be obtained through the accumulation of experience and huge capital investment. Therefore, after Li Guang got the news, he immediately decided to buy it without hesitation. If this production line can be purchased, once the technical personnel of Haitang Kingdom have eaten it thoroughly, then the aircraft manufacturing level of Haitang Kingdom will suddenly jump to the top ten in the world, or even the top five. The significance is self-evident.

Of course, even with this production line, it will take time for infrastructure construction and digestion technology, and there is little hope that Haitang Kingdom wants to build a new model of fighter within two years. Coupled with the lack of vital engine technology, there is still a long way to go if you want to have a fighter made in Haitang.

In the United States, Grumman has gone to full capacity to produce advanced F6F Hellcat fighters. The line has been shut down. A line like this is what the United States is most happy to sell to the United Kingdom, Canada, New Zealand, and Australia, which are hardcore English-speaking countries.

And the USSR, in addition to the P40 fighters, the United States did not sell carrier-based aircraft to the USSR at all. If the production line was sold to the Soviet Union, the United States would rather return the entire line to the furnace as scrap metal.

However, the level of production of fighters by the British is not much worse than that of the United States, and even has a considerable advantage in engines. And Australia already has a line of fighters. As for other countries, there is no demand for this, anyway, there is the boss of the United States to supply fighters, what kind of money is it for? In addition, these countries do not have aircraft carriers either, in short, there is no need for the production line of the F4F Wildcat carrier-based aircraft.

Now, there is a new customer - Haitangguo. However, whether to sell to Haitang or not is not an economic issue, but a political issue.

Truman is in the United States, and now his voice has increased. In addition to a series of conveniences provided by the Haitang Kingdom, there were also Truman's own efforts. Since the United States officially entered the war, Truman has led a committee (commonly known as the Truman Commission) to investigate scandals related to administrative chaos, waste, and fraudulent resources in the military, which has earned him much fame and praise. Among them, his "common sense measures to reduce expenditure" implemented by the military made Truman widely supported and respected. Initially, the commission was thought to be a threat to the morale of the military, but it proved to be a great success because it saved the military a lot of money, and Truman appeared on the cover of Time magazine.

No matter which country there are scum, there are moths. Truman's main job was to deal with moths and scum.

In World War II. American arms dealers have made a fortune, and there are also many moths who dare to risk their lives to make black money.

It is a fact that many of the supplies and ships produced by the United States in World War II were sunk. But the quantity is debatable. According to Huang Zhonghua, the captain of the Liberty Dragon, some of the supplies were not loaded at all, but they were delivered on federal records and the supplier was paid. Some of the goods may have been loaded onto ships, but they were resold several times.

The solution to this kind of problem for the moths is simple, to sink, whether it is sunk by a Japanese submarine or by a German submarine. Of course, most of the time you plant your own explosives on board. ??? And Truman was the leader in plugging these loopholes. This committee of his. In itself, it is to save money, so while saving money, waste utilization is almost within its purview. So very reluctantly, to sell this line of Wildcat fighters, Truman can speak.

President Roosevelt had a bad impression of the Haitang Kingdom. But Truman's reason for persuading Roosevelt was that a Haitang country that turned to the United States would be more beneficial to the United States than a Haitang country that turned to the Soviet Union. From the beginning of the forty-second year. Trade between the Haitang Kingdom and the Soviet Union was noticeably frequent. Coupled with the fact that the Soviet Union Stalin deliberately tilted, the Haitang State not only could get the advanced artillery of the Soviet Union, but also got a lot of Katyusha rocket artillery, as for the artillery steel, the Soviet Union itself was nervous, but the Haitang State could still buy a certain amount. Although the Soviet Union has the intention of asking for the Haitang Kingdom. But the meaning of wooing is also very obvious.

However, it was not enough to convince Roosevelt. Under Truman's operation, the Haitang Kingdom spent a lot of money to open up the various joints. Among them, Li Guang paid for his estate in Uruguay, and also knew a CIA official named Hoover.

To say that manor. is really beautiful and elegant, whether it is Li Guang, Yuan Ran or Su Zizi, they all like it very much. However, it is certain that Li Guang will have fewer and fewer opportunities to go to Uruguay in the future, and even if Li Guang is reluctant, he has no choice but to make full use of it.

The Haitang Kingdom has spared no effort to support Truman, and it finally paid off in four or three years, which is a great victory for diplomacy. This is one factor that Li Guang knows about the government's overspending.

But when Li Guang saw the report, he realized how much pressure he had put on the government these days.

For example, Li Guang asked for a standard sports field to be built in every school, and the physical health of students is undoubtedly extremely important. In Li Guang's view, land doesn't need money, and it doesn't need to be hardened, it's just a matter of leveling the land. If it is a school, of course, it can't cost a few dollars, at most 350,000 Tang Yuan. But once there are many of them, the cost is very terrifying.

For another example, Li Guang demanded that the width of the planned roadbed should not be less than 200 meters for the highway running through Datang Island, and the specific construction should still be subject to traffic. However, Li Guang's half-bucket of water only knows that the future 200 meters of the main road may not be considered wide, and it will also save the future demolition and relocation matters. He didn't know that the roadbed was wide, and the planning of the entire road was completely two levels. Don't look at the road that is directly built is still ten meters wide, but the actual investment is one or two times worse.

In addition, Haitang has several basic chemical projects, which are obviously polluting industries, but they are indispensable for an economic system. Li Guang has advanced concepts and has paid attention to environmental protection issues. You know, in this era, neither the United States nor the United Kingdom has any concept of environmental protection. Otherwise, in the sixties, how did the foggy capital of London come about? To this end, Li Guang even instructed that a group of American and British legal experts formulate an "environmental protection law" for Haitang. In Li Guang's complacent, the investment in the chemical industry has been overspent by almost 30 percent.

I don't know if I don't see it, and I'm shocked when I see it. Piecemeal, Li Guang actually made dozens of projects to overrun. In addition, a fighter production line will not only cost more than 14 million dollars to purchase equipment and technology, but also invest at least 5 million to build infrastructure. In a daze, more than 70 million US dollars, 3 billion Tang Yuan was overspent. What is difficult for Premier Yuan is that Li Guang has done these things, and if he proves them, he really didn't make any big mistakes, he was very forward-looking, and he could even say that he was very necessary. But the mistake is that this forward-looking is wrong, there is no mistake in forward-looking itself, but it is a mistake to spend too much money. Moreover, almost all of these projects are necessary, and even if they are compressed, it is impossible to compress 70 million US dollars.

In short, in four or three years, Haitang Kingdom can easily support it, after all, there are 200 million US dollars in reserves. But if these projects continue in four or four years, then there will be no military spending. Li Guang estimated that this is how China's disastrous leap forward came about, and as soon as the days were a little relaxed and the brain was hot, it was able to get to work quickly. The sage said: If you take a big step, you will get an egg. Fortunately, these policies of Haitang were all led by the government, and did not affect agriculture and non-governmental industry and commerce, so as not to cause too much harm. Even so, Li Guang was scared out of a cold sweat. You know, he has a lot of forward-looking advice that hasn't been released.

The days of comfort are short-lived. Li Guang had to start having a headache again to make money. (To be continued......)
