The idea of the parliamentarians is very simple, that is, to save a lot of military spending, this military budget is saved, whether it is to improve the work allowance of government departments or to build public facilities, but once it is put into the army, it is like the difference between buying a house and a car, the house can maintain and appreciate in value, and the car is a consumable and can only depreciate.

As high-ranking generals of the army, they are not unaware of this kind of thinking, but the problem is that the combat effectiveness of an army must be formed through long-term rigorous training and actual combat, especially the navy, which requires several years or decades of experience accumulation before the accumulation of combat effectiveness at sea can be completed.

After the Speaker's words, some of them stood up and put forward their own proposal, the Australian government could expand the army and build ships in 1644, as for the time that could not be reached, the parliamentarians also had their own proposals, directly order from the Netherlands and then renovate in the domestic shipyard.

Councillor Wang, I do not agree with your suggestion, at present the Dutch have slowed down the speed of ships exported to our country, this purpose is very clear, they have sensed the danger, so they are working out a plan on the number of ships to be exported, if the implementation is successful, the number of ships that China buys from the Netherlands each year will be limited to a certain percentage of our exports to the Netherlands every year, like weapons and commodities.

As the head of the shipyard, he said that he was reluctant to use ships imported from Europe, and the shipyard only needs to have a name, but in fact can only be used as a ship renovation and repair yard.

As the leader of Australian shipbuilding, Yau Nanzhe's task and responsibility is to build the world's most advanced ships and warships, rather than becoming a renovation expert, and if he does not work construction, Australia's shipbuilding industry will fall into a state of decline. For a big country, a big country surrounded by the sea on all sides, the prosperity of the shipbuilding industry is directly related to the strength of the navy.

But from another point of view, You Nanzhe is also worried that there will be no time to renovate the ship, and according to the data provided by the Navy Department, there will be at least fifteen ships. If this data is followed, even overtime work will take at least a year and a half to complete, but at the same time, it will need to be able to achieve perfect cooperation with other related companies.

I would like to think that your worries are unnecessary. We can also use the increase in the proportion of exported goods in exchange for the number of ships imported. This was the first MP to raise the issue, named Gao Yi, whose main area of work was government fiscal planning.

The so-called increase in the export of goods is a relatively win-win situation for the government and enterprises, but the current production capacity of Australia is estimated to not keep up, otherwise the CEOs of these companies will not make money if they have money. As soon as Gao Yi opened his mouth, he knew that he did not understand the real situation in Australia at present. Otherwise, it would never be said.

Before You Nanzhe opened his mouth to fight back, Lin Youde stood up and objected, Councilor Gao, to increase the proportion of goods exported, it is necessary to increase production, how to increase the output of Australia, it is impossible to do it at present, skilled workers are a big problem, and once the output is enlarged, the market price of the product will also fall, so there is an export proportion restriction plan.

Lin Youde and You Nanzhe can be said to belong to the industrial field, and they naturally have a certain degree of communication and tacit understanding with each other, which makes Gao Yi dissatisfied.

If there are not enough workers, can you train them? As for the market price falling back to form full, you can do a market research, this kind of problem does not exist at all, you can't just solve the problem because there is a problem.

The discussion between the three of them instantly silenced the council hall, and everyone looked at the three of them waiting for their follow-up conversation.

At this time, Zhao Shijie suddenly spoke, I think the concerns of Lin and You are not unreasonable, but at the same time, the starting point of Councilor Gao is also very reasonable, but has Councilor Gao ever thought that Australia's need to increase the number of skilled workers and the proportion of the total population are inseparable.

The total number is less than 100,000. If the real proportion of skilled workers wants to occupy a certain proportion, it will inevitably reduce the number of employees in other industries, and whether it will cause the unbalanced development of social and industrial industries, this question is worth considering.

Gao Yi was speechless. I had to stop talking, and the whole room was re-immersed in a discussion.

This is unanimously recognized for interfering with the southward movement of wild boar skins, but at the same time, Australia also needs the manpower of the Ming Dynasty as the driving force for development, and Australia, which lacks population, needs to force a large number of displaced people to go south through the entry of wild boar skins, so as to speed up the immigration strategy.

Judging from the current situation, everyone is not very interested in saving the Chongzhen Dynasty. It is very interested in the regime that has not yet taken shape in the south, and from the perspective of practical interests, most of Australia's industries are in the south, and in the future, it will be possible to obtain greater benefits by helping the southern regime.

Therefore, the Chongzhen regime is ruthlessly abandoned by Australia, and it is not possible to abandon it, and it is difficult for Australia to control him in terms of political character, so it is better to let him be honorable and righteous.

Ladies and gentlemen, please return to the topic, we are talking about the expansion of the army, not the training of skilled workers. Yuan Kejun rang the wooden hammer to remind everyone, lest these crooked guys continue to expand, and no plan was passed after discussion.

The expansion of the army is very necessary, and the military's idea is completely reasonable, taking the expansion of the new barracks at the end of this year as an example, and then putting it into actual combat training in the newly acquired territory of Malacca, the rotation training of soldiers in all districts of the country has strengthened the combat effectiveness. Zhao Shijie finished talking about the military's expansion plan, and then sat down and waited for others to speak.

However, the expansion of the eight battalions is too great, and it will cause a certain squeeze on the country's funds for the development of other areas, but I still reserve my original opinion, and I personally propose that the plan to import the Dutch spread can be started this year, and by 1644 we should have at least fifty ships. Gao Yi also said his own suggestion later.

At present, there are two battalion-level combat units and two national civilian police reserve companies in the country, and the total number of troops is less than 600.

Once the expansion of eight battalions, it means that the strength of the army is directly to 4,000 people, and the garrison is also expanded to five battalions, this number is really scary, the total population of Australia is only 70,000, and the proportion of the army has reached the scale of nearly 10,000 people.

At the same time, some people are worried that the expansion of the army will bring danger to themselves, and this danger exists, so we must not leave it to chance. (To be continued.) )
