Chapter 117: An agreement is reached
In the thatched hut of the Department of Homeland Security in the northwest of Manchester City, Liu Yun smiled and took out a batch of red wine imported from France from the wine cabinet rack behind him and put it on the table, and then brought three wine glasses.
"Come, Brother Guoping, the military can agree to export arms this time, and thank you for your help."
Liu Yun smiled and poured a glass of wine for Yang Guoping and Zhao Shijie, who were sitting at the table, and then raised the wine glass and touched it, and drank it in one gulp, it can be seen from his expression that he is in a very good mood.
The former controls the production and research and development of Australian military weapons, and its status in the military is very high, don't look at the fact that several bigwigs in the military usually make Yang Guoping a new weapon is a threat and a military order, but that is to force the military research institute to make something good, but most of the time he still respects Yang Guoping, an expert in military weapons research.
No thanks, this time the military was able to agree, and I also agreed to their request, as soon as possible on the basis of the breech gun to speed up the research and development of new rifles, and strive to narrow the gap with Europe to three generations, they will agree, in addition to the military spending you mentioned.
Yang Guoping smiled and explained = explained, if you want to say that this time it is all because of his factors, he doesn't dare to say so, after all, there are many factors in it, Australia is now in a period of great development, all production and development need money, and the military expenditure on the army will naturally not be too much.
At present, the strength of a company of the army and two platoons of the garrison plus the number of a company of the navy adds up to about 300 troops, and this does not include the police who maintain law and order, and the amount of money that needs to be allocated every year is about 100,000 yuan, which is a considerable amount of expenditure for Australia's current finances.
These expenses are only the daily expenses of the military personnel to support, if you include the replacement of weapons, the minimum military expenditure a year is about 300,000 yuan, I have to think about whether the investment is too large, although the army is to protect everyone's safety, but so far Australia has not been affected by the external crisis, even the internal natives are also hundreds of years of pity, except for the landing time, it has basically not been affected.
Now that everything is developing in a good direction, and the days are getting better and better, naturally some people have raised opinions on military spending, although the current military spending has not yet reached such a high level, but at this rate, it will reach such a high level every year, then the government is bound to make concessions to investors in other places, such as national welfare.
A year ago, Wang Tiehammer and others originally submitted a plan for the expansion of the army for the new year, but it was never approved, and in the end, they also reduced two-thirds of their personnel, which took into account the opposing opinions.
It can be said that in the next two or three years, the Australian army will not expand too quickly, and it will develop in a slow form. Moreover, the Executive Committee basically agreed not to increase military spending on the original military spending, which is inconsistent with the military's idea of rapidly expanding its troops.
If the army wants to expand, it must have external sources, although the army is one of the largest sources of external funding, but after all, Australian enterprises are limited, many enterprises that rely on labor are not many, and most of the new factories use the most new immigrants, after all, the aborigines' learning ability is too poor.
Considering this factor, several bigwigs of the military also sat together and discussed for a long time before finally agreeing, after all, exporting old weapons can indeed be exchanged for money, in addition, it is Yang Guoping and Liu Yun who gave another attractive weight and invited the army to participate in the great cause of privatization of military factories.
Under the great wave of privatized enterprises that are blooming everywhere, Yang Guoping and the staff of a military research institute are also very greedy; after all, they become bosses and work for the country, and it is obvious that the temptation of the former is greater between the two, and now as long as the military factories are privatized, they can become shareholders, and they are still only making money and not accompanying them.
The first thing to convince is the three parties, one executive committee, and the other two are representatives of the Military Security Committee and the military, and if any of these three parties do not agree, it means that the privatization has failed, after all, the military factories are different from other enterprises, that is, some other enterprises do not also have a restriction treaty, and the government has the right to intervene and take back the right to operate.
This time, let Yang Guoping go out to persuade the military to take what they need, and it is really impossible to talk about Xie, Liu Yun worked so hard to promote the export of arms in fact, he also wanted to enter such a share in the military industry, as for Zhao Shijie, they actually forced it in, it was completely related to his identity, he is not only a member of the executive committee, but also a member of the Military Security Committee, both of which can be said to be quite weighty, and Chairman Zhou attaches great importance to him.
The military originally had great concerns about exports, but then Liu Yun directly threw out such a bait, and the military finally agreed, with the absence of the executive committee to increase military spending, whether it is the navy, the army or even the garrison, the life will not be easy, and the military wants to live a good life and expand the number of soldiers so slightly, so it has to open source itself.
And just right at this time, Liu Yun and Yang Guoping handed over an olive branch, and this is actually nothing to lose for the military, after the privatization of the military factory, the entire military system will receive 50 percent of the shares of the military factory, and the profits earned can also be used to feed the army.
After all, the export of old and redressed arms is just a small business, and the army has such a small number of people a year, how many weapons can be replaced, how can there be a direct export of weapons that have been eliminated within the Australian army to make money quickly.
After careful study, the military bigwigs feel that there is no problem, and there is no risk, and even the military does not even need to invest funds, as long as the executive committee and the military security committee submit a report, to a large extent, the military agreed, this matter can basically be done, and the rest depends on Zhao Shijie, this guy is a relatively open person in Manchester City, and he serves in the two committees.
The three of them gathered together today, obviously the matter had been almost done, and finally Yang Guoping raised his glass and saluted Zhao Shijie: "Xiao Zhao, your contribution this time is not small, it is not possible to persuade the two committees without you." ”
"Where's the word, Brother Yang, don't I also have a share." Zhao Shijie replied modestly.
"Yes, yes, of course you Xiao Zhao has a share." Yang Guoping nodded again and again.
