Chapter 427: The Terrifying Military Budget (Asking for Subscriptions, Monthly Tickets, and Various!! )
There was a long silence in the conference room before everyone reacted, thinking of what Chen Feng said just now, everyone felt that Commander Chen's idea was too crazy. However, they also know that Commander Chen's temper is definitely not the kind of person who has no purpose, since Commander Chen dares to say this, it means that he is completely sure.
"Commander, you've decided!" Yang Yi confirmed repeatedly.
"yes, it's decided!" Chen Feng said solemnly.
Yang Yi was silent for a minute, and then said loudly: "Okay, I, Yang Yi, will follow the commander to go crazy again, and do it!" ”
"Hahaha, even Mr. Yang Da has followed the commander crazy, what is the pity of me, the bandit leader, my head has a big scar, count me Li Yifeng!" Li Yifeng said with a smile.
"Young Master, our brother's life belongs to the old Chen family, whatever you say is what, our brother listens to you!" Xu Hu and Xu Bao said in unison.
"Boss, my father confessed to me when he was alive, the only purpose of my Chen Tiebao's life is to protect the young master and be the young master's slave for life, as long as the young master says a word, even if it is murder and arson and robbery of people's daughters, Tiebao is not a problem!"
Chen Tiebao's words made Chen Feng so embarrassed, no wonder his predecessor would take Chen Tiebao with him no matter what bad things he did, this guy is too obedient, he is a little indistinguishable from good and evil, but Chen Feng likes it.
Li Wensheng and Andrei also expressed their willingness to follow Chen Feng, although Chen Feng was dealing with the Soviet Union, and it should be Andrei's motherland, but in the hearts of Andre and others. There was only one homeland of theirs, and that was Tsarist Russia. As for the Soviet Union, it was a group of countries led by traitors, and they were mortal enemies like the sea, and the reason why they had a country and a home that they could not return to, and they were also branded as White Russians, traitors, and other stigma, was given by those guys.
Now only Shi Jianfei is the only one left in the entire conference room who has not expressed his position, he is the only officer of the former Central Army faction among these people, and he is also the latest officer to follow Chen Feng, so even if he does not express his position, Chen Feng is not surprised.
"Commander. How sure are you? Shi Jianfei asked slowly.
"It's a bit too much to say that the tenth floor. But there are still seven layers of certainty. Chen Feng said affirmatively.
"Well, I, Shi Jianfei, am also willing to follow the commander to take this risk, but I have a request that I hope the commander will agree!" Shi Jian Feidao.
"What a request, say!" Chen Feng said.
"Save my fiancée and third uncle!" Shi Jianfei gritted his teeth and said.
Chen Feng looked at Shi Jianfei and said, "Your fiancée's name is Lin Xiaoya, right?" ”
Shi Jianfei looked at Chen Feng with a shocked expression. Surprised, he asked, "How does the commander know about the Dao?" ”
"Huh. Not only do I know that your fiancée is called Lin Xiaoya. And I also know that she is now controlled by the Military Control Bureau, and at the same time, Lin Xiaoya's father and your third uncle are also constantly monitored by the Military Control Bureau, and they use this to force you to comply. Hit me hard when it counts, don't you? ”
Shi Jianfei looked at Chen Feng, then sighed and said, "I didn't expect that even the commander knew these things so clearly, I really believe that the commander's plan can really succeed this time." ”
"Actually, Boss Dai, what they do is indeed very hidden, but they don't know that we have mastered some extremely advanced communication technology, unless all their letters are delivered by manpower, otherwise any secrets are transparent in our eyes. Half a year ago, when the Military Command Bureau and the Blue Coat Society threatened you for the first time, I knew that you had done a very good job, and I was very satisfied, so you are qualified to come to this meeting today! Chen Feng said lightly, that kind of strength, that kind of self-confidence, made everyone present feel that in this world, there seems to be nothing that can be difficult to win this Commander Chen.
"Then my third uncle and Xiaoya are now"
"Rest assured, they're safe, and if you want, they'll soon be out of the control of the Military Administration. Lin Xiaoya has our people around him 24 hours a day, and there are also our people in the business firm where your third uncle works. Chen Feng said.
"Then trouble the commander to take them all to Saibei, I don't want to see where they are every day!" Shi Jian Feidao.
"As you wish, they will arrive in Guisui in a week!" Chen Feng said.
"Commander, you must think carefully about going to war with the Soviets and the British, what are your plans?" Yang Yi asked.
"Actually, it's not as difficult as you think, Britain and the Soviet Union are strong now, but it won't be long before someone will clean them up for us, and then we will just be fishermen. Our main enemy is still the Japanese, so we will still focus on fighting against Japan in the next time. Chen Feng said with a smile.
"Commander, the little devil is very honest during this time, and he doesn't dare to make the slightest move in guarding that one acre and three points of land, what should we do?" Li Wensheng asked.
"The appearance of the good baby is pretended, and as soon as their strength is restored, the essence of the jackal will be completely exposed, and then the fangs will be stretched out. So what we have to do now is to expand and train our troops! Some time ago, we hid more than half of the troops of the front-line troops, so the next time is to fill in all the vacant numbers, and by the end of the year, we must have more than 1.2 million troops in the army alone, and the total strength of the air force and navy will also exceed 300,000. Chen Feng said.
"We now only have more than 600,000 troops, and it will be expanded to 1.5 million in a year, will this speed be too hasty, on the one hand, we do not have so many officer reserves, and secondly, the formation of troops in addition to soldiers also needs a large amount of weapons and equipment and military spending, how do we solve these? Moreover, will the large-scale military expansion affect the economic development of Saibei Province? Yang Yi said.
"It's a bit rushed, but we can't help it, time waits for no one. As for the weapons and equipment and military expenses, you don't need to worry about them, these are all handled by the fourth lady, and she will prepare all the weapons and equipment we need and military expenses. Saying that, Chen Feng nodded to Yan Changxi and motioned for her to get up and explain to the senior officers present.
Yan Changxi, who was dressed in a skirt, looked particularly energetic today. She got up and looked at the senior officers present, and then said loudly: "Don't worry, don't worry, we can't afford to raise so many troops, don't say 1.5 million people, even if it's 15 million people, our Chen family can still afford to raise them." As far as we know, Japan's total military expenditure over the past three years has been more than 60 billion yen, equivalent to $15 billion, which means that our military expenditure for one year is equivalent to Japan's total military expenditure for three years. ”
"In addition, we have built an arms company in the United States, which has been growing for more than a year. The arms company has developed into a super arsenal with 9 steel plants, 12 production bases, and 65 production lines for various weapons and equipment. It can produce more than 20,000 rifles, 1,000 machine guns, and 2,000 tons of various ammunition per day, and not long ago we also provided weapons and equipment for 35 infantry divisions to Britain and France. Therefore increase your army. ”
Yan Changxi's words shocked these officers present again. They knew that the Chen family was rich. This can be seen in their salaries and the disability pensions of their soldiers. Moreover, the taxes in Saibei Province are the lowest in the country, and the peasants have to pay very little taxes every year, even if the taxes of merchants and landlords are heavier. But it is also far lower than other provinces in the country.
However, they didn't expect the Chen family to be so rich, 13 billion, even the current annual military expenditure of the Nationalist Government is less than 1 billion US dollars, and the Nationalist Government now has to support more than 2 million troops. With only more than 600,000 troops in the Eighth Theater of Operations, but a military budget of 13 billion yuan to prepare, they have nothing to say except shock.
Not only were they surprised, but even Chen Feng himself was stunned by Yan Changxi's words, 13 billion, which is too exaggerated. A few months ago, the Chen family held an internal meeting, and according to the plan formulated at that time, the Chen family divided all profits into five yuan every year, one for military expenditures, one for the construction funds of Saibei Province and Nanyang Ling, one for the development of the Huaxia Group, one for the retirement pension fund for military and political officials and soldiers, and the last one for the Chen family's own funds.
These five parts of the funds are distributed according to 3:3:2:1:1, that is to say, military expenditure accounts for 30% of all the income of the Chen family, the construction funds of Saibei Province and Nanyang Territory also account for 30%, the development funds of Huaxia Group account for 20%, and the remaining two items account for 10% each.
Chen Feng has always not paid much attention to how much money he has, he just told Yan Changxi to transfer 100 million US dollars to his personal account every month to exchange system points, and at other times he doesn't care about how much money he has, let alone how much Huaxia Group earns in a year, so Yan Changxi's words just now really scared him.
According to this ratio, that is to say, Huaxia Group's annual revenue can reach more than 54 billion US dollars, which is too terrifying, you must know that this figure is still a shocking figure even in later generations, let alone in the current era of less than 30 US dollars per ounce of gold.
In fact, Chen Feng didn't know that with the outbreak of the war in the world and the continuous expansion of the scale, the important position of penicillin drugs was once again enhanced by the countries in the world.
But now it is different, the warring countries in the world are aware of the impact of penicillin on the war, this is not only a civilian drug, this is a strategic material, so whether it is Germany, Britain and France have a large number of penicillin drugs, even the United States and the Soviet Union are now aware of this problem, so the trade volume of penicillin drugs has surged.
Coupled with the income of two broad-spectrum antibiotics of streptomycin and tetracycline and other industries of the Huaxia Group, the income of the Huaxia Group in January 1940 reached a terrifying 5.5 billion US dollars, the income in February was 5.6 billion US dollars, and although the income in March was not calculated, Yan Changxi alone knew that there was a transaction volume of more than 6 billion yuan, and the profit should be about 4 billion yuan, and the total income in March reached 5 billion yuan There is no problem at all. This is not counting the gold and antique antiquities seized by Chen Feng and the taxes in the defense area, it can be said that the total income of 54 billion a year is already Yan Changxi's most conservative estimate.
