In 2012, the latest national defense budget announced by the Yanhuang Republic was about 700 billion yuan, and it is generally believed that it is around 800 billion yuan, accounting for 6.84% of the entire national fiscal expenditure of 11.7 trillion yuan. However, a closer analysis will reveal that there is a lot of fixed expenses, and there is little living money that can be used.

There are about 2.4 million people in the Yanhuang Republic, and now the treatment of soldiers, non-commissioned officers, and officers in the army has been greatly improved, plus the compensation for changing jobs, it is estimated that the size of the army of 2.4 million will be about 200 billion yuan per year (considering that there are senior officers, the treatment and medical expenses are larger, calculated according to the average of about 80,000 yuan per person per year), and the welfare expenditures with Yanhuang characteristics, such as: military welfare housing, ushering in and sending away, etc., will take about 500-100 billion yuan. Maintenance, maintenance, research and development, training, exercises, maintenance of military factory production, and other activities are also a large amount of money, so it is estimated that the annual funds for the purchase of new equipment will be about 100 billion to 150 billion yuan, and this is the result of the army, navy, and air force combined. Among them, it is very normal for the Air Force to have a state-of-the-art aircraft of 200 million yuan, and for the Navy to have a state-of-the-art destroyer of more than 1 billion yuan. So there is not much left for the army to replace equipment, and the army's equipment is not cheap, a helicopter gunship (Wu 10) costs tens of millions, a new tank (Type 99) is about 30 million, the national defense parade you see is a mighty and majestic phalanx, but that is only the essence of the army's nearly two million troops, a small handful (I found when collecting information, equipped with a 14,000-man motorized infantry division, tanks according to Khalid BMT2000 configuration, helicopters for Wu 10, The rest of the equipment is the upgraded version mentioned in the previous chapter, which costs about 12 billion for a division, not counting maintenance, training, and wear and tear). Wang Fan estimates that the number of troops that have reached the military parade equipment in the Yanhuang Republic is about 30~500,000 people, accounting for one-fifth to one-quarter of the total number of land forces, and they are distributed in the capital military region and the southeast military region adjacent to Yanhuang Baodao, as for the central and western military regions that are far away from political dignitaries and sensitive areas, it is estimated that they are still using equipment from the early 90s of the last century, after all, modern warfare is sea and air supremacy, so the equipment renewal must first take care of the air force and navy. The Army's 500,000 elite rapid reaction units are sufficient to deal with local wars except World War III.

The amount of this transaction is 163 billion yuan! What is sold is the existing or mothballed, or eliminated, or improvised equipment, the production cost is close to zero, and a large number of maintenance costs can be saved, so making 160 billion yuan is not a myth, but a fact! According to 12 billion armed with a 14,000-strong motorized infantry division, considering the lower cost of large-scale production, it is enough to redress all the main marine forces of the seven military regions of the Yanhuang Republic from the inside out, and it is also the most thorough kind of changing all the underwear! In terms of time, the refitting plan of the Ministry of National Defense was completed 5 years ahead of schedule!

Therefore, when the purchase order of 163 billion yuan was reported to the Ministry of National Defense, Vice Minister Meng in charge was Meng! It wasn't until he reported this information and the contract amount to Admiral Xu in a daze, and he didn't get relieved! Admiral Xu was also a little "vain", and he was stunned for half a minute. In the afternoon of the same day, several army bigwigs scattered in the local military districts returned to the capital of the Yanhuang Republic one after another and held an impromptu meeting in a heavily guarded underground command post of the army. General Zhang, General Fu, General Zhou, and General Xu are the "Four King Kongs" of the Army of the Yanhuang Republic today, and they are also the spokesmen of various factions in the Army. Admiral Xu sits in the center and the northeast, and controls the capital military region, which is the most elite of the 1.8 million army of the Yanhuang Republic, and also governs the Northeast Military Region. Of the 500,000 most elite troops in the empire, 250,000 are in the Capital Military Region, under the command of General Xu, who is the most powerful faction in the army. Admiral Zhang was born in a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, worked conscientiously, and won the recognition of the officers and soldiers at the bottom. The Southeast Military Region, which is in charge of the treasure island, is only responsible for one military region, but it is the strongest of the seven military regions, with 550,000 troops under its jurisdiction, including another 250,000 elite members of the Republic Army, and the highest level of training, the most complete war preparations, and can respond to emergencies at any time. Admiral Fu is tall and mighty, is a well-known bold northwest man, responsible for the defense of the two major military regions in the northwest, in charge of 450,000 people, and finally General Zhou is under the jurisdiction of the two major military regions in the southwest, 300,000 troops, he and General Fu's troops are temporarily in the 90s of the last century weapons to support the scene.

"Old Xu, why are you in such a hurry to call us back from the place?" Admiral Fu made it to the sofa and asked with a big grin.

"Yes, yes, today I temporarily pushed off a unit to fight the military exercise, and rushed over in a hurry! What's going on? Admiral Zhou chimed in. Admiral Zhang did not speak, but his eyes were also fixed on Admiral Xu.

"Look at this, you understand!" Admiral Xu didn't directly say the reason, but just sent a stack of materials in his hand to three people. Soon, the three of them were attracted by the detailed list of weapons on paper, quotations, purchase quantities, contract amounts, the amount of the last transaction, the disappearance of arms, and three leading international military technologies.

"Is there any result from the Military Investigation Bureau?" After reading the information, Admiral Zhang asked.

"They couldn't find out the background of this named John, there is no such person among the international arms donors, there is no record of past transactions, and several arms dealers with whom we have business dealers have also confirmed that they do not know this person! It's like it came out of nowhere. Admiral Xu returned.

"It strikes me as strange that the arms disappeared overnight and are still under the noses of our guards." Admiral Chou rubbed his fingers and picked it up.

"If you have the ability and funds to participate in such a large arms deal, you can't be a nobody, and you can get top military science and technology, and those experts say that the credibility is 9 percent, and the feasibility of industrial production is more than 8 percent!" Admiral Fu is rough on the surface, but in fact he is very careful in his heart, "Old Xu, you should have an idea about how to deal with it, let's hear it!" ”

"My idea is to continue the arms deal with them and find the smuggling channels of the smuggling gangs, but for the time being, I will monitor them and not directly crack them down. Keeping this line and testing whether we can get the latest foreign military technology for a long time, and of course, it is better to have arms deals in the future. ”

"Hehe, I agree, Lao Xu, after this transaction, of the 163 billion yuan, the one that belongs to the army can reach 160 billion (because the main thing sold is army equipment, so the money also has to go to the army, and the air force can still share 3 billion to drink soup because of 2,000 six masters, the worst is the navy, there is no root hair, tears are running!) , of course, in the end, the admiral and the air force admiral together grinded away 10 billion yuan from the army, which is a later story! ）”

"That's it, that's it, you can change your belongings for me and the old man this time, the Southwest Military Region is bitter~~"

"Pull down, pull down, you still have a little oil and water in the southwest, I have nothing there except the northwest wind!"

Seeing that these two "living treasures" were about to quarrel again, General Xu and General Zhang smiled bitterly at each other, this is also no way, the Republic can't afford to change all the equipment of the army, so it can only be updated in the critical places first.

"Don't make any noise, I asked the people in the General Armament Department to calculate, 160 billion can be about 15 to 16 motorized infantry divisions to replace equipment, just so let's also discuss, according to 15, how to distribute this money after the transaction is completed!"

Hearing this, the expressions of the other three people became serious, and they began to fight for the welfare of the troops under their jurisdiction.

After the meeting, the four King Kongs reached an agreement, according to the calculation of the 15 motorized divisions that were reequipped, the northwest was divided into 4 (2 in each military region), 4 in the southwest (2 in each military region), 3 in the southeast military region, and General Xu was divided into 4, namely 2 in the capital military region and 2 in the northeast military region.

Therefore, in the name of disposing of waste equipment, the Yanhuang Republic transported a lot of old-fashioned equipment to some remote warehouses, and such a large-scale equipment transfer naturally could not be concealed from the major military intelligence agencies at home and abroad.

Thirty days later, in some remote provinces of the Yanhuang Republic, uninhabited warehouses were filled with military supplies that had been deployed according to the contract. When Wang Fan paid for the goods, the three high-tech technologies were determined to be real and usable, with a price of 3 billion US dollars, 18 billion yuan of nuclear Yan Huang Yuan, and Wang Fan still needed to pay 145 billion yuan (but his overseas accounts only had about 17.5 billion US dollars, about 1050 Yan Huang Yuan, which was not enough), so Wang Fan asked if he could use gold to pay part of the payment, and when he knew that this arms dealer could pay 350 tons of gold, the president of the Yanhuang People's Bank waved his pen and accepted it (after all, compared to paper money, Gold has some advantages as a reserve, but if the purchase of physical gold is a few hundred catties, it is too troublesome, and it is very easy to compete with the people of Yanhuang)!

So it was another month of dark cloud high night, and a certain good citizen waved his sleeves gently: he short-circuited one monitoring after another, took away one cargo after another, shocked his eyes one after another, and left 350 tons of gold lying quietly in the warehouse!

The next day, Director Li received another text message: the money has been paid, the goods have been received, the cooperation is pleasant, and I am looking forward to the next transaction!
