428 Happy Development 3
Formulating a development plan, Li Guang's mood is happy.
The feeling of spending money is cool, especially when it comes to spending hundreds of millions of dollars, it feels simply handsome and cool.
For a long time, under the management of Li Guang, the Haitang Army was not very short of money, at least it had not experienced the situation of not being able to open the pot. However, both the government and the military have been spending carefully and spending money to withhold the rope.
Li Guang dares to spend money so lavishly, does the government have no opinion on Premier Yuan, the housekeeper?
Not really.
On this day, Weng and his son-in-law made two side dishes, and when they talked all night, there were often loud laughter.
Li Guang's happiness comes from the excitement of historical changes, and Premier Yuan's joy comes from the bright prospects.
This period of time is the stage when Li Guang is in the most comfortable mood.
On the Soviet-German battlefield, due to the occupation of Leningrad, an important city in the north of the Soviet Union, although Germany lost the Battle of Stalingrad, it was obviously much better than the situation in the same period of history. The Baltic Sea became Germany's private swimming pool, and the German war machine would no longer be short of steel and fuel.
Germany's war potential has been strengthened, and in Li Guang's view, there seems to be no problem in fighting the European battlefield for a year and a half longer than in history.
In the Pacific theater, the U.S. military has already entered the rhythm of island-hopping tactics early, and a fierce battle is imminent, and presumably Japan's defeat will be earlier than history. What Li Guang wants to do is to wait for the United States and Japan to fight viciously in the Pacific, so as to exhaust Japan's last ounce of strength.
In this case, all Haitang has to do is to add a force when Japan is about to finish, and land in Japan to grab a special robbery. Wait for the European battlefield to decide the victory or defeat, and symbolically fight the German army. And then there was a reason to land in Germany again and grab it fiercely.
It's a cool prospect to think about.
What's even cooler is that in the Indian Ocean, where the Haitang Kingdom is located, there is basically not much war except for a few Axis submarines.
Although there is no big war, escort is indispensable. The Maritime Resistance Army was very conscientious, escorting not only its own fleet, but also the fleet that delivered supplies to the Soviet Union, and the British fleet. Responsible for the transportation of goods to China.
This is a duty obligation. It is also a reflection of the importance of the world war.
In short, the Haitang Kingdom should show its own importance. So there were Axis submarine raids every now and then. Axis submarines were sunk at intervals.
The truth is true and false, and no one can tell the difference at all.
The increase in importance is accompanied by an increase in "treatment". Haitang sold mortar shells to the Soviet Union, napalm. THUS IN EXCHANGE FOR THE SOVIET 122MM HOWITZER, 152MM PLUS HOWITZER.
The situation in the USSR is not really good. But. Still holding your nose and accepting it? Fair trade hahaha.
Within a few months, the artillery configuration of the Naval Resistance Army was reasonably new. STARTING WITH THE 70MM INFANTRY GUN IMITATING JAPAN, THEN THE THREE-INCH INFANTRY GUN, THE THREE-INCH FIELD GUN, THE THREE-INCH ANTI-AIRCRAFT GUN, AND THE LEGAL 85MM FIELD GUN MADE BY THE NAVY RESISTANCE ARMY. AMERICAN-MADE 105 HOWITZERS, SOVIET-MADE 122STRAY GUNS, SOVIET-MADE 152MM PLUS HOWITZERS. IT IS EQUIPPED WITH SOME 20MM ANTI-TANK GUNS AND 40MM ANTI-TANK GUNS MODIFIED FROM AMERICAN ANTI-AIRCRAFT GUNS.
Infantry small arms: The Naval Resistance Force uses Soviet-made Bobosha submachine guns and American-made M1 semi-automatic rifles. Plus Bazooka bazooka purchased from the United States.
Communication equipment, all American-made radios and corded telephones.
For transportation, there are pack horse and semi-pack horse mountain regiments and jungle regiments, as well as purely mechanized field regiments. There are two main types of automobiles that the whole army is equipped with, one is a American-made jeep and the other is a American-made Dodge three-and-a-half-ton truck. Especially the American-made jeep, which costs less than $400, is really sturdy and durable, and can even tow a three-inch infantry gun to and fro at will, which is really suitable for the army.
In short, there is no doubt that the current equipment of the Naval Resistance Army is the first in the world, and it can even be said that the current equipment of the Naval Resistance Army is not backward compared with that of the United States and the Soviet Union within ten years. However, whether or not the combat effectiveness can reach the first place requires continuous and hard training.
Britain now also has a request for Haitang Kingdom, although it is still trying to save face, but it does not dare to prevaricate about Haitang Kingdom's military purchase request. Therefore, the Haitang Kingdom easily obtained many British bombs against ships, including 1,000 pounds, 1,500 pounds, and 2,000 pounds of bombs, totaling nearly 1,000 pounds. And one of the British masterpieces, the "goblet" bomb, the Naval Resistance Army also bought twelve of them.
The "goblet" bomb weighs 5.5 tons and is 6.7 meters long. If nothing else, dealing with reinforced concrete fortifications or battleships is a piece of cake.
None of these bombs can be made by the Naval Resistance Forces. However, there were more than 1,500 anti-ship bombs in stockpile, and Li Guang estimated that these bombs would be enough for the naval resistance army until the end of World War II.
The soldiers have enough food. Li Guang was very satisfied.
What the Haitang Kingdom has to do now, except for a few battles in the plan, is just to bow its head and develop, quietly wait for the defeat of Japan and Germany, and then go down the mountain to pick peaches, and then go to the sea to pick peaches.
Perfect Strategy. Admire. Someone is triumphant, admiring himself.
With such a favorable situation, how could Li Guang be unhappy. With such a wonderful prospect, Premier Yuan is naturally full of ambition, so he is not aware of investing in education and industry.
The so-called one shun and one hundred shun. Recently, Haitangguo has developed smoothly. The military-industrial complex again had a new project in April.
This new project, said to be new, has actually been planned for a long time. In the years that Li Guang arrived at this era, he had never heard of a helicopter on the battlefield.
Is it true that helicopters are much more technically difficult than fighters and bombers?
Li Guang didn't understand, he had never taken a helicopter once. But think about the news in the 21st century, where a farmer built a helicopter. Li Guang judged that the growth of the science and technology tree is accidental, not necessarily a later life with a high technical content, but may appear later with a slightly lower technical content, and the helicopter should be one of them.
Therefore, Li Guang organized a helicopter research and development group as early as 40 years. Although Li Guang hand-painted the external shape of the helicopter, the helicopter research team was slow to make a breakthrough. One of the most critical institutions is blocking the R&D process.
Recently, this helicopter R&D group has made a breakthrough. The reason is very simple, the United States has a helicopter that was purchased by the military, but in fact, the military did not pay attention to it at all, and Haitang easily purchased twelve of them.
A new piece of equipment has just appeared. This is often the case. There are many reasons why the US military does not attach importance to helicopters, but the most important point is that the helicopter installed by the US military has a small power and can only carry one pilot and one crew member, so the US military uses this helicopter as a rescue for the wounded. Moreover, until four or three years, this helicopter was still in a state of exploration, and most officers of the US military simply did not know that such an aircraft existed.
However, this helicopter has given the R&D team of Haitang a great reference, and the obstacle has been solved. R&D immediately entered the fast lane. Thanks to Li Guang's "insight", the helicopter power of Haitang directly uses the planetary piston engine used by a fighter. The engine is too advanced, the United States does not sell it at all, this engine is actually a TBD torpedo engine, although Li Guang is not very satisfied, but the engine is as high as 850 horsepower. That's more than four times the power of the American helicopter. What's more, this engine is not advanced. But the technology is mature. The reliability is quite high.
Once installed, the role is not as simple as being able to save the wounded. As long as this helicopter can succeed, Li Guang, a traverser, can proudly say that Haitang finally has a weapon that leads the world.
Li Guang and Professor Yuan had a happy conversation. However, Li Guang came to Premier Yuan this time because of another matter. Thanks to Truman's help, the United States and Haitang recently had a cooperation, which was said to be a collaboration. But in fact, the United States sent instructors and funds, and Haitang sent people.
In another time and space where Li Guang lived, there was an institution that became notorious -- the Sino-US Cooperation Institute. April. This institution has just begun to be built in Geyue Mountain, Chongqing. Similarly, Haitang and the United States have signed a special cooperation agreement.
In essence, this cooperative office is an espionage organization, which is mainly composed of an intelligence group, a meteorological group, a psychological group, a military group, a covert operations group, a personnel group, an operations group, a telecommunications group, a liaison group, a research and analysis group, a supply group, a medical group, an accounting group, a general affairs group, and a transportation group.
In another time and space, the reason why many people equate the Sino-US cooperation institute with the White Mansion and the Dregs Cave is mainly from the impression obtained from literary and artistic works such as "Red Rock". Actually, it's not that good at all.
Li Guang welcomed the cooperation between Haitang and the United States in setting up such an espionage agency, because after all, there were serious deficiencies in the intelligence level of Haitang Kingdom, and the organizational methods were not strict at all. It is too difficult to explore a spy system alone, with the human resources of Haitang Kingdom. With the experience of the Americans, it was possible to save a lot of manpower and material resources.
However, this institution belongs to the military, and Professor Yuan has no objection. Today, Li Guang wants to talk to Professor Yuan about this, and he plans to use the American educational institutions to train an official for Haitang Guo -- the Independent Commission Against Corruption. Although the population is only more than one million, the economic scale is no less than a province in China. Especially after the launch of the plan of 1,000 schools and 1,000 enterprises, it has become extremely important to monitor corruption in government departments.
On a small scale, the efficiency of human governance may be higher. But with the expansion of scale, the rule of man cannot keep up with the development. As for officials, Li Guang's impression is really bad, whether it is literary and artistic works or what he has seen and heard. Moreover, now in Haitang State, there are not only officials but also a large number of state-owned enterprises, without supervision, all on morality, absolutely unrealistic.
Because once this department is established, it is very targeted - officials, that is, the government headed by Premier Yuan. Therefore, Li Guang must have a conversation with Premier Yuan. Professor Yuan will inevitably feel awkward about setting up such an institution, but he should not oppose it, whether it is a feudal society or a system like the United States, this kind of institution must be in a country.
Li Guang has long been known to Hong Kong's Independent Commission Against Corruption, but he knows the name, but he does not know how it operates. In fact, Li Guang is not worried about how to operate, and the technical details can always be done by professionals. One of the most critical questions is: who is under the jurisdiction of this department.
Li Guang really didn't know which department was in charge of Hong Kong's Independent Commission Against Corruption. This is critical, even more so than the technical details.
It is no exaggeration to say that it is related to the success or failure of the establishment of this department.
To complain, in another time and space, the Commission for Discipline Inspection, the Anti-Corruption Bureau, and the Corruption Prevention Bureau are chaotic, and there are many institutions that are ineffective.
In the final analysis, whether or not they can really work depends not on the number of institutions, but on the most crucial point -- who is in charge of these institutions.
Li Guang came up with the topic, and Premier Yuan, who was a superhuman in political wisdom, naturally understood that Li Guang did not intend to let the government manage this department. The government itself supervises itself, which itself has a logical dislocation.
However, Li Guang took the initiative to ask Premier Yuan to create this institution, which was very tactful and gave the premier face.
A few months later, the agency was founded.
Li Guang sighed with emotion, clever. The high level of political wisdom of the Chinese people is impressive.
The Independent Commission Against Corruption is accountable to the Council and is funded separately. The Commissioner of the Office was nominated by Li Guang (as the title of the supreme leader has not yet been determined).
What does this mean? First, the power of parliament to supervise is implemented, second, the government can limit its size through funding, and then the supreme leader has personnel power.
Tripartite co-management is a balance in itself. But on the flip side, it's a department that has a high degree of independence.
As long as an institution is established, the rules and regulations may not be complete at the beginning, but there is no doubt that it will play a certain role.
Later, as it developed, the Independent Commission Against Corruption became an independent department on a par with the judicial system. The increase in the level means the improvement of deterrence, and the execution is also improved, becoming the most critical department of Haitang State's anti-corruption.
There was a bit of an exchange: in parallel with this work, the police-police system became subordinate to the government, and for the first time, the government rightfully had a violent apparatus.
With the promulgation of the "Press and Publication Law", the supervision of public opinion among the people of Haitang has gradually begun to affect politics. Although the "Press and Publication Law" is, in Li Guang's view, the government's adjudication power in it is really too large. It is not surprising that the ass decides the thinking and that such a law is enacted, and the opinion of the government side dominates.
But, after all, it is a channel for the people to supervise the government, the parliament, and even the military. With the advancement of time, Li Guang believes that one day, the power of supervision by public opinion will gradually manifest itself. After all, the law is motivated by a positive and progressive approach – freedom of speech.
At this stage, Li Guang is actually quite satisfied that the state structure can have such a rudimentary shape. In the middle of the four or three years, there were only 3,000 or 4,000 government personnel, and the national population was only 15.6 million.
Seeing that the country was advancing step by step in the direction he expected, Li Guang was very satisfied and happy. (To be continued......)
