"Soldiers and disasters have ended, and after years of great war, tens of millions of dollars have been spent, more than a dozen provinces have been destroyed, useful armies have been shattered, and sophisticated equipment has been lost. If the same kind of slaughter is killed, it is especially painful. ……”

"During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Wang Ma coexisted with each other, consolidating that half of the country. This Feng Huazhuo wants to show Duan Hefei the sincere unity when he trained in the small station, but he must not know that this time is different from the past, and people will always change. On the contrary, a farce of three monks who had no water to drink was staged in Beijing, and now they have resigned from their positions, and this matter is over for the time being. I didn't want to go to Feng Huafu, and there was another Cao Kun, Feng Huafu didn't have a few generals who could fight, but there were some arrogant generals under this Cao Kun, and I don't know how this Hefei plan to end. ”

Qin Yu took the telegram sent by Beijing and sighed, since the beginning of the Middle Road War, Qin Yu's focus has been on the north, mainly in the south, the two departments of Zhiwan and Anhui are fighting openly and secretly, and there is a lot of trouble between the government and the court, looking at these news, he was upset, and threw the telegram aside, Qin Yu ordered, "Send a telegram to Beijing, just say that the central government has borrowed tens of thousands of dollars from Japan, does not think about civil affairs, does not appease the locality, blindly uses military force, owes money to the government commissioner, and the teaching staff has not been sent for many years." All of them are used to train the participating armies, and a sham election will also cost tens of millions of dollars, if this is tightened and the internal is wide, and the state assets are consumed to satisfy personal selfish desires, and it is shameful to steal, now that the European war is over, there is no need for the participating armies to exist. For the sake of the country and the people's livelihood, this army should be quickly dismantled and the people should be resented. The three eastern provinces patrolled Qin Yudian. ”

Joining the army again, and the Anfu National Assembly election fraud, and then Feng Guozhang resigned and returned to his hometown. The direct army in the south that confronted the Protector Army did not shoot their guns, and this series of deeds has deviated somewhat from the original track of history. Because of the rise of the Northeast, some things are a little earlier than the original, but Qin Yu, a historical blind, is not very clear about these.

"It's handsome!" The guards strode away.

"Dashuai, this telegram is a copy, but I have offended the Anhui family to death." Sun Liechen said with a smile.

"There are those who are even more offended. was forced out of Beijing by the two factions of Zhiwan before, and now the loose alliance of Zhiwan is falling apart, and I don't care about a family with a bad reputation in Anhui. Qin Yu smiled when he heard this, "If it weren't for the direct line between Fengtian and the Anhui line, I would have taken the Anhui line a long time ago." Fighting a war is nothing more than occupying territory, and the Northeast Army is going south, and it is nothing to occupy an enclave, the problem is that it can't be too far away. If it really spans several provinces, it is not convenient to govern. ”

"This is also a helpless thing, if you take it all the way, it is difficult to guarantee that Zhiwan will not stand together again. It is not bad to look at this place in Shandong, which is separated by a sea from the northeast. Transporting troops by sea is not much slower than by rail. There are also enough ships in the Northeast to carry out the transport. After solving the troubles of the Anhui system, in the future, he will meet the battle with the direct family, and he can also use each other as horns to clamp down on the direct army. Sun Liechen said, "The most important thing is Shandong's human resources, the population of a province is slightly more than that of the three northeastern provinces combined, and it is important for the northeast to obtain Shandong's human resources." is strategic. It also greatly alleviates the need for employment. ”

"Well, the whole Northeast. Together with the provinces of Rehe, Chahar and Suiyuan, the population is only 345 million, which is the result of vigorous immigration over the years, and Shandong alone. There is also this number, if you get Shandong, it can indeed greatly alleviate the pressure of population scarcity in Northeast China. Qin Yu nodded and said, "And Shandong's geographical location is extremely important, facing the sea from Fengtian Province. Building coastal border defense can greatly contain the Japanese combined fleet. "At this time, before aircraft carriers were introduced, a few planes could threaten Japanese warships at sea. With the help of the catalysis of the European war, the shipping in the Northeast has already had a certain scale, and it is not connected to the Northeast by land, so for the Northeast, the problem is not big.

"Governor Tian is here." Sun Liechen greeted Tian Helin, who walked in from the door.

"Brother Zanyao!" Tian Helin nodded in salute, which can be regarded as a return salute, compared to the ordinary status of martial artists in other places is higher than that of civilian officials, the situation in the northeast is different, compared to the governance of the locality, no matter how high the military attache is, he can never intervene. This is also the place where Tian Helin, Wang Yongjiang and other provincial officials are most satisfied, even if there is no Qin Yu in Jilin and Heilongjiang provinces, the army is only responsible for marching and fighting, and all the military resources required are responsible for the military logistics office. No one is willing to let a soldier in the governance of a place. Relatively speaking, in the Northeast system, Tian Helin's status is slightly higher than Lan Tianwei, only below Qin Yu. Because they are both Qin Yu's earliest team, Tian Helin and Sun Liechen are familiar with each other, and there are still a lot to say after meeting, as for the newly promoted army chief of staff and division commanders below, Tian Helin and them do not have much common language.

"Okay, I'm almost done with the marshal here, and the rest of the time will be handed over to Governor Tian." Sun Liechen got up and smiled, said something to Qin Yu and left.

"Marshal, although the army is the cornerstone of the northeast, and the lowly position is not opposed to the reorganization of the armed forces, but the pace of expansion of the army in the past two years has been too fast, and the economic growth rate of the northeast is a little unable to keep up. However, this year, the export of iron and steel, and arms have all lost their markets, and if the expansion of the army is not stopped, the economy of the northeast will be dragged down sooner or later. Tian Helin sat down and said with a cautious face.

"Relatively speaking, although the military expenditure is large, it can't reach the point of damaging the economy of the Northeast, isn't Brother Xuguang's words a bit excessive." Qin Yu frowned and said, "You report this year's budget to me." ”

"Last year, there was a plan to reorganize six new divisions, but because the outbreak of war took up funds, the expansion plan was delayed until this year. As is customary, at least two infantry divisions are to be expanded each year. Although there are ready-made ones in the arsenal, military uniforms, military shoes, as well as military jackets and accommodation. Usually training needs, raising a division for two million a year is not much. If eight divisions are expanded this year, the consumption here alone and the first-level confrontation drills of the new army divisions will be a big one, and I am afraid that 20 million will not be able to fill this hole. Tian Helin said with a bitter face.

"The slogan was loud and loud, where would there really be so many troops. This year three divisions will come to an end. Qin Yu's words alleviated a lot of Tian Helin's thoughts.

"The marshal listened to the humble post and finished speaking, the army division is only a part, and the navy is not small. Two destroyers, one cruiser were planned. It cost nearly three million to build a ship alone. The soldiers, officers, fuel, ship maintenance, hired German officers, not four and a half million can not be beaten. In addition, a submarine force was formed. There is also a team dedicated to the research and development of submarines, mechanically prepared, at least a hundred thousand. The Navy alone will spend nearly six million this year, which is an extra expense than last year. ”

"Now the Northeast Army has 16 infantry divisions, 4 cavalry brigades, 4 independent artillery regiments, 3 heavy artillery regiments. 1 tank brigade adapted from the tank instruction brigade. Aviation ten flying squadrons. The cost is comparable to that of a division's special operations brigade. According to the plan, these already established armies will spend nearly 4,100 yuan this year alone. ”

"And that's since last year. The construction of the arsenal, which will be used in this year's budget, is divided into three phases. Factory construction, research funds, and salaries. That's more than three million. ”

Speaking of this, Qin Yu smiled knowingly, the employees of the first phase of the arsenal were 6,000 people, and the more than 3 million were only used to pay salaries. The construction of a factory building, as well as part of the research and development costs of new weapons. This may not seem like a lot, but it excludes machinery purchases. You must know that at this time, the Gongxian Arsenal only had more than 15 million yuan, including all the budgets, which was already quite a huge expenditure for the central government. Some of them also went into private pockets. And the Changchun Arsenal prepared in the Northeast, if you count the normal price of those machinery. I'm afraid it's going to be more than 50 million yuan. However, even if the Northeast buys so much machinery, it can't afford to start all of it for a while. Because the Northeast Army at this time simply could not use so many ordnance. To use it all, the cost is too great for the Northeast. For a regime, more weapons is not always better in non-war periods. Moreover, Qin Yu had already bought back a lot of ordnance from Germany this time.

"In other words, the expansion of the three infantry divisions will increase the military expenditure on the books alone this year to about 56 million."

"This year, the Northeast Army will be fully equipped with submachine guns, as well as a considerable number of anti-aircraft guns, as well as grenades. If it is evenly apportioned, military spending should be around 60 million. Qin Yu corrected it, and then said,

"How much do we expect to earn this year?" Such a huge military expenditure is indeed an astronomical amount, and a few years ago, it would have been unimaginable. However, for the Northeast at this time, in order to maintain the current situation, or even go further, it is necessary to have a large number of troops to protect itself.

"Counting the Mohe gold mine on the Heilongjiang side, the newly mined Zhainuoer coalfield adds up to more than 10.37 million yuan. After two years of tax reduction, the revitalization of inland waterway shipping, last year has made great progress, this year the Middle East Railway is under control, and nearly 2 million acres of fertile land along the railway line are included in the Heilongjiang administration, so that the economy along the railway has developed rapidly, Heilongjiang fiscal revenue has reached more than 1,625 yuan, relative to its population of about 4.2 million, compared with the Guannei, this achievement has been very good. ”

"Jilin's population resources are nearly three times richer than Heilongjiang's, and it has close ties with Taonan, the hometown of woolen and leather dairy, and its commerce is extremely prosperous. Thanks to Wang Yongjiang's efforts, Taonan and Changchun have been linked by railway, and now the opium cultivation in Jilin is less than a quarter of what it used to be, and in two more years, the production of opium in Jilin will be completely eliminated. Taking advantage of the loopholes of the European war in the past two years, Jilin has added nearly 150 new private enterprises on the original basis. Jilin's fiscal revenue this year can reach more than 18.96 million yuan. ”

"There are more than 150 private enterprises, this Wang Yongjiang is also quite capable, how can he make such great progress? What kind of companies are they? Qin Yu asked curiously.

Since taking office, Wang Yongjiang has immediately banned all the original military bills circulating in the Jilin market, and the paper money issued by Japan and the original Daosheng Foreign Company. Most of them are grain merchants and oil merchants, and now there is a grain and oil trading center, the Jilin Chamber of Commerce, which is directly linked to the distribution station in Europe, and sells soybeans, wheat, and dairy products from the northeast to the west. In addition, there are about 17 papermaking, printing and dyeing, private power plants, and electrical factories. I also heard that Wang Yongjiang has made contact with several overseas Chinese in Nanyang, and if he can bring a few financiers from Nanyang over, in two years, Jilin will really change a lot. Speaking of Wang Yongjiang, Tian Helin's tone was rare with some admiration, "When it comes to the ability to govern things, Wang Yongjiang is not under me." ”

"Compared with the great progress of Heilongjiang and Jilin, Rehe and Chahar, although the two places have made progress compared with the past, they are not obvious for the time being. Except for the discovery of a gold mine in Rehe and the large coalfield in Chifeng, other aspects are temporarily stable and stable. Counting the Fuxin gold mine, the big coalfield in Chifeng. Rehe can contribute about 9.3 million a year. Chahar is located a little farther, and the northeast has limited energy temporarily, only more than 516 yuan. The Taonan Special Economic Zone is a well-known commercial center. The leather goods and wool spinning transactions are very developed, and the annual fiscal and tax revenue is more than 370 yuan. ”

"The bulk is Fengtian, Fengtian Bank, Northeast Bank in Shanghai, Guangzhou, Wuhan three towns, Chongqing, Luoshi and other cities are distributed, through guò issued Northeast bills to absorb a large number of deposits, low-interest loans, creating a large amount of income. Ninety percent of them were loans to enterprises in Northeast China, and 10 percent were to some well-known industrialists in the country. Excluding the funds required for the expansion of the bank and the salaries of personnel, the net profit was more than 29.03 million yuan, of which nearly 6 million yuan was made by reselling materials to Western Europe in cooperation with Huaxing Bank. ”

"The after-tax income of hydropower and thermal power stations is more than 15.27 million yuan."

"The volume of transport vehicles, road crossing, and highway maintenance costs are more than 18.76 million yuan."

"Especially after the recovery of the Middle East Road, plus the other two railways, the income is more than 5.31 million yuan. In the first few months of the year, the arms trade made a profit of more than 7.64 million yuan, and the aircraft factory made more than 1.12 million yuan. The tax profit of Benxi mining area is more than 1,130 yuan. In other Northeast China, copper, salt, silica, limestone and other industrial and mining taxes are more than 25.07 million yuan. ”

"The tax income of Fengtian industry, agriculture and commerce is more than 42.31 million yuan."

"The total income of the three eastern provinces, Rehe, Chahar and Taonan Special Economic Zones is more than 219.55 million yuan."

"I didn't expect the plate to be so big." Qin Yu smiled, every time he saw these counts, he would always be a little stunned, and unconsciously, the Northeast had gone so far on the original basis. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the total fiscal revenue of Northeast China was less than 30 million, but now it has expanded more than seven times, and such a growth rate is absolutely a miracle in economic history.
