Chapter 33 Development Plan
"There is another question that needs to be discussed with everyone. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" Qin Shou glanced at everyone and brought it up.
"Commander, is there anything else?" A few people who had just been promoted to regimental commanders were now eager to recruit the army and then hurry up to train. They don't want to be the head of the regiment just now, only to be defeated by the little devils. In that case, it would be a shame.
"The salary of the troops, we need to reset!"
"Military salary? According to the salary of the previous expeditionary force, can't it? Chief of Staff Liu Shiquan frowned.
"The salary before the expeditionary force was too little. In addition, we are now leaving Chongqing alone. I don't think Chongqing will pay us any more military salaries in the future. Therefore, in the future, I am afraid that we will have to rely on ourselves to raise and distribute military salaries. In addition, in order for our brothers to love us more, it is necessary to pay our brothers more generously. ”
In China, there has always been a saying that a good man is not a soldier, and a good iron does not fight nails. Although, now that the enemy is present, in order to defend the country and the nation, many people have enthusiastically joined the army, even if they die on the battlefield, they will not hesitate. But again, military pay is also a very important aspect. Years of war have left the livelihood of the people no longer secure. Many people join the army, not only to protect their families and defend the country, but also to earn a little money for their families.
If Qin Shou and the others try to gain a foothold in the South Seas and not return to China, then they need to use military salaries to attract soldiers. so that they can have a hope.
"Commander, what do you mean?"
"I plan that in the future, our military pay will be paid at half of the Americans' rate. For the infantry of the U.S. Army, the salary is fifty dollars a month. Now that our financial resources are far from being comparable to those of the deep-pocketed Americans, let's make a discount of twenty-five dollars a month. In this way, it is also much higher than when we were in the expeditionary force. Officers at all levels, and then in turn. Establish a complete military pay system. ”
"Commander, isn't this too high. We don't have any income now, and if the military pay is too high, we can't afford it at all. Liu Shiquan's brows were already tightly wrinkled. If ordinary soldiers were paid $25 a month, then once the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army was reorganized, it would become an army of more than 30,000 people. That monthly salary alone may cost millions of dollars. Add in all the other overheads, and that's even more. This will definitely bring down the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.
"I know. However, being a soldier is all about getting paid. We should be more close to them. As for funding, there is no need to worry at all. After we took Myitkyina, we found here what the little devils hadn't had time to transport. As soon as Qin Shou thought of this, he couldn't help laughing. Little devils are really their blessings! Not only did they send so many soldiers there, but they also sent so many weapons and equipment, and even sent a lot of money. Let Qin Shou not have to worry about these aspects at all.
"Commander, do you mean the wealth left by the little devils?" Liu Shiquan obviously knew about this as well.
"The little devil's ability to scrape the ground is very powerful. We need to learn from them. In addition to Burma, it was originally produced in jade, gold and silver. The jewels that the little devil collected were worth at least $20 million. In the future, if we continue to fight in Burma, we will surely be able to get even more wealth.
We are Chinese, and the so-called non-Chinese people will have different hearts. Except for the Chinese, there is no need for other natives to be kind at all. Why not use their wealth to support the development of our army, as well as the construction of the military industry in the future? So, in terms of funding, there is no need to worry at all.
Among the prisoners we rescued this time were also Americans, and one was a liaison officer of the American army. If we use this to hook up with the Americans, then we can easily sell these jewels. Even, the jewelry obtained in the future can be sold in exchange for a large amount of money and weapons and equipment. In this way, we can enter into a healthy development. ”
Qin Shou had already planned for these aspects.
However, there is still a lot he has not said. That is, Myanmar is also rich in oil, coal, iron, and various non-ferrous metals. Especially for oil, before the start of the war, Myanmar was able to produce a million tons of oil a year. If they can use these natural resources, they will be able to build an industrial system. In this way, dependence on other countries can be gradually reduced.
Of course, it's too early to say this, and we need to wait until the little devils are driven out.
Therefore, Qin Shou did not say these plans for the time being.
"The commander is right, those Burmese natives are not a good thing. Not to mention that they bullied the local Chinese, after the little devil called, they also took refuge in the little devil. These guys, of course, we can't let them go. Zhang Erniu was the first to express his support.
"Commander, I'm a rough man, and I'm okay with leading troops to fight. As for these aspects, I am blindsided. My grandson has no words, what you say, I will do it, everything is up to you! Sun Changwu was the second to make a statement.
Subsequently, Yu Chengyin and Chen Dehai also expressed their full support for Qin Shou.
"Commander, there are quite a few indigenous people in Burma. If we oppress them too much, they will rebel against us. Then our energy will probably be involved. Liu Shiquan was a little worried.
Qin Shou nodded: "Now Myanmar, the total population is about 16 million. The Chinese, among the total population of Myanmar, are about more than 1 million (a little exaggerated compared with real history, book friends, please do not compare historical facts), mainly distributed in the mountainous areas of northern Myanmar and the coastal areas of southern Myanmar. We can prop up the Chinese and let them rule Burma. Even, you can find ways to immigrate from the country to increase the number of Chinese. In this case, there is no need to fear the natives to revolt.
All the natives who dare to resist will be exterminated. You don't have to leave them alone alone. If we develop Myanmar in the future, we will need a lot of labor to build it. And aren't these indigenous people in Myanmar a good labor force? ”
Although, Liu Shiquan still felt that Qin Shou's methods were a little too radical. However, he also knew that at this stage they had no better way but to do so.
Besides, Qin Shou seemed to be very sure. Therefore, Liu Shiquan only chose to believe in Qin Shou and support him!
