Chapter 564 A Beauty Plan for Military Spending

@@@@@@

"Haha."

Early in the morning, as soon as Yang Qiu got up, he heard a hearty laugh in the living room downstairs, and when he went downstairs, he saw Sa Zhenbing and Wang Guangxiong actually coming together, and he didn't know what to enjoy, muttering and muttering that his mouth didn't close for a long time. He asked in surprise: "What is the good thing in the early morning?" The Japanese Navy is all sinking? ”

Sa Zhenbing also wanted the Japanese Navy to sink, but that was a fantasy. But the news of the signing of the Washington Naval Treaty made him very happy, although before 1930 there were only 200,000 capital ships in total tonnage, but the current domestic manufacturing capacity itself is not enough to support the Navy to have capital ships like the Nagato-class, so it does not matter how many years later.

What makes him happy is that, judging from the naval holdings of the six major contracting states, the Chinese Navy is actually the only country with rich tonnage that makes people blush, and all countries are busy dismantling warships, and only he is thinking about what to add. Fingers folded to Yang Qiu: "250,000 tons!" Haha, leaving aside 2 old Austro-Hungarian ships and 2 leased American ships, we can still build 4 capital ships of 35,500 tons! Ha ha. ”

The old man Sa is suffocated, from the end of the world to the fourth largest navy in the world, the seventy-year-old man has not slept all night, and he also pulled up Wang Guangxiong, who reported to Nanjing early in the morning, to report the good news, and the eyebrows and beard wrinkled together, so that Yang Sisi, who was only three years old, pulled the corner of Miao Luo's clothes, and asked curiously: "Auntie, you see that the old grandfather's beard can move, just like a puppy." ”

“。”

Miao Luo covered the corners of his mouth, grabbed Yang Sisi and fled. Wang Guangxiong and Yang Qiu both pursed their mouths, and Sa Zhenbing even more twitched out of the corners of his eyes, not bothering with the little girl for the sake of the navy.

Yang Qiu hurriedly diverted the topic: "Miscalculated, right?" Before 1930, it was 200,000 tons, 4 Anhai and 2 Nevada were nearly 170,000, and 2 combined forces were 40,000, which was already exceeded. ”

Sa Zhen is in a hurry, I have been ridiculed by your daughter, why do you want to take some benefits? Pick up the telegram and explain line by line: "There is no exceedance. You see. Second-hand capital ships made in non-domestic countries can be dismantled in advance, and the leased ones can be returned, so that 90,000 yuan will be saved at once, and 3 ships can be built. ”

"35500 apiece. There are more than 15,000 ships in 3 ships. Yang Qiu couldn't help but remind him.

"Isn't it 50,000 tons in 30 years, and with a little Britain and the United States in advance, will we still be able to put the knife on our necks? It's really not good, the tonnage of the aircraft carrier minus a point. "Old man Sa is still arrogant when he breaks the contract, obviously he has made up his mind to let Yang Qiu allocate funds, and it can be seen that he is also dissatisfied with his exchange of capital ships for aircraft carriers.

"No money." Yang Qiu looked at Wang Guangxiong and understood what the old man meant by bringing him here. So dryly threw the telegram back.

"How can there be no money!" Sa Zhenbing jumped up directly and looked at Wang Guangxiong with his eyes. Wang Guangxiong is not in the forefront of the navy in terms of ability, but he is loyal to Yang Qiu, and for many years he has single-handedly helped him to support the Nanyang Fleet built completely according to his ideas.

But how dare Wang Huzi make peace with this, hehe laughed twice as if he didn't see it. Sa Zhenbing immediately scolded the non-human encounter, and simply showdowned: "Vice President, don't hide it from me." When we confronted Russia last year, Congress allocated 50 million special military funds to prevent accidents, but the contract was signed before the confrontation reached 100 days. Now the Russians are disarming. I heard that the army would be reduced to 500,000, but it would not be able to fight back in four or five years, and the army would not need this money. ”

Really! The old man was not well-intentioned. The treaty reached out and asked for money before the pen and ink were dry, but it was still very confident. Yang Qiu said in a dark belly, and asked Lei Meng to go upstairs to get the documents, and secretly said that Kuang Xukun was really not used to leaving, and Chen Guofu's group of secretariat guys didn't know what to do, is it difficult to find a secretary?

After Lei Meng took the document, Yang Qiu handed it to Sa Zhenbing: "This is a report on the drought in Henan and Hebei provinces, let's talk about it after reading it." ”

Since April, there has been a general drought in the Central Plains. The news had already been published in the newspaper, and Sa Zhenbing thought that it was only a few areas, and he gasped after reading the report.

Yang Qiu said: "North of Zhengzhou to Cangzhou, but also implicated in Shanxi and parts of Shandong, spring ploughing seedlings all died, and the number of victims reported in various places has been nearly 300,000. So I have taken care of this money for Hu Weide to use for disaster relief and to purchase grain from the United States. ”

Sa Zhenbing sighed bitterly, seeing that Siye Jingyu was peaceful in the world, it was a good opportunity for the navy to make up for the arrears, but there have been disasters and famines in the country in the past two years. In 1920, the Qinghai and Gansu earthquakes killed 200,000 people and millions of people were affected, and tens of millions of dollars were spent to resettle the victims to go to the northwest. In 21 years, the Yellow River flooded, and the floods in Anhui and northern Jiangsu caused epidemics, and nearly one million people died. It has only entered June, and the Central Plains of Henan Province is another drought, and from the trend point of view, it is likely to affect Shaanxi and other places in the end.

Did God mean to torture people?

**You can take precautions in advance, and natural disasters cannot be stopped. Yang Qiu only knew that 1920 to 1925 was the period of concentrated natural disasters in China, which was comparable to three years of natural disasters in history, and even if he knew, it was impossible for him to remember the place and time of the disaster, so he could only prepare more food and relief materials, and set up a government public crisis committee to deal with it. However, although it is difficult, the situation is much better than that of the Soviet Union, which has also suffered many disasters, but the army building must be slowed down and must make way for the people's livelihood and national development.

Yang Qiu also knew that the construction of the navy was cyclical, and the current investment might not be effective until five or six years later, so he thought about it and said: "Otherwise, your navy will find a way to sell him in the Balika oil field, and leave half of the money to the Southwest Mining Company, and I will let Ma Kui give it to your navy in the name of donation." ”

"Oilfield!" The ice shook like a rattle. Yang Qiu decided to go to the South Seas to exploit oil He knew, not to mention that Bingwen could not hide it from him as a representative of the navy, so no matter how confused he was, he knew the importance of oil, now most of the ships of the domestic navy have begun to burn heavy oil, and the oil field is the lifeblood of the navy, how can it be sold!

Yang Qiu did not attach much importance to the small oil field of Baribapan, and his goal was to have 1 billion tons of reserves in Minas and the surrounding areas, saying: "Bingwen has sent a telegram back, and the Anglo-Dutch oil company has learned of their oil exploration and has asked the Dutch colonial government to intervene. Kwong Jingyang said that this oil field is not large, and the total reserves are only about 20 million tons, and he feels that there is no need to pinch the Anglo-Dutch company to make them pay more attention, and it is better to deliberately take a step back to show weakness to the enemy. Quietly go to Sumatra to develop a large oil field. ”

Sa Zhenbing is right to think about it, it is not cost-effective to fight for a small oil field of 20 million, not to mention that Britain and the Netherlands control the shipping of Baliba Plate Port, even if it is mined, it may not be able to be shipped back. It is better to sell to the other party and make them think that they are afraid of pressure to give up, otherwise they will lose more if they restrict foreign companies from exploring. ”

"It cost $100,000 to buy the land, and the estimated reserves are about 20 million tons, and then you can sell it at what price you can sell, and you can leave half of it to the mining company anyway." Yang Qiu sent the two out of the house while telling them the essentials of the sale. Sa Zhenbing secretly said, this is really a business without capital. Buying a piece of land for $100,000 can sell it for at least a few million, which is not too much of a loss. If the navy can take half of it, it will have four or five million people, which is enough to build a batch of destroyers for urgent use, so it immediately agreed.

Yang Qiu is also right, the domestic economic growth trend is good, but there are too many places to use money, and he has to use some "crooked ways" to subsidize the needs of the army. He's going to look at Minas now. That's the strategic oil field that can't be let go.

As soon as the two of them arrived at the door, before they got into the car, they saw Lei Meng talking to a girl with a European-style leather bag. Even if the three women around him are fat and thin, each with its own style. Yang Qiu's eyes also lit up. The face is like a goose egg, the eyebrows are like green mountains, they look about twenty-three or fourteen years old, combed with short hair that reaches their ears, and their figures are very different from the Chinese women of this era, tall and slender, especially the traditional cheongsam long skirt, wearing the professional short skirt that has just become popular in Europe and the United States, and a small YMCA emblem is pinned to the top of the mountain range on the chest, and the white shirt with the folded neckline gives people a very refreshing look. A stylish feeling.

"Good morning, Vice President!"

As soon as Yang Qiu appeared, the girl ran over as fast as a deer, and her big eyes flashed, making Yang Qiu even more confused. Only Sa Zhenbing and Wang Guangxiong glanced at each other, squinting their eyes as if they were very satisfied.

Yang Qiu didn't pay attention to the expressions of the two. Turning his head, he asked, "You brought it?" ”

"Mr. Sa, Uncle Wang."

Before the two of them could answer, the girl really said hello to them. So Yang Qiu thought it was some relative of the two and didn't care. He said, "Okay, you guys go back." Tomorrow, Hu Weide and I will leave for Henan to inspect the disaster, and we will go northwest with Songpo, and we will not be able to come back until at least July. ”

"Alright, let's go back first. Vice President, Miss Autumn just graduated from Princeton University in the United Kingdom last year, majoring in History. Sa Zhenbing picked it up with a smile. Yang Qiu is inexplicable, what does it matter what college graduates? Besides, it's not 10 years ago that thousands of public students in China are studying in prestigious universities every year.

Sa Zhenbing didn't understand when he saw Yang Qiu, so he didn't explain that he pulled Wang Guangxiong, who was about to explain, back to the car, and was busy letting the driver drive.

Wang Huzi wondered, "Commander Sa, why don't you introduce Xiaoqiu to the vice president?" Isn't she the newly elected secretary of the Secretariat? ”

Sa Zhenbing glared at him, hating iron and steel: "Idiot, Xiaoqiu is the niece and granddaughter of Old Man Yan, Old Man Yan is from our navy, how much face did the old man spend to win this place for this matter?" Think about it, Xiaoqiu has become a secretary, wouldn't she be able to get more military expenses by saying a few more good words in the future! This matter concerns our navy, and if the vice president asks about her family history, wouldn't it be boring for the old man to stay there? ”

The sedan disappeared without a trace, which made Yang Qiu feel weird, but he couldn't say it. Just as he was about to turn around, he couldn't help but wonder when he saw the girl named Xiaoqiu still standing in place, looking at him with red cheeks. asked, "Miss Xiaoqiu, how are you?" ”

Although she saw Yang Qiu countless times in the newspaper and collected photos through various channels, the girl was still very nervous when she met for the first time, her cheeks were red, and her thin white teeth bit her lower lip, and it took a while before she mustered up the courage to puff up her chest: "Vice President, I am your new secretary." ”

"My new secretary."

Miao Luo in the distance was also directly stunned...... (。 If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
