"Teacher, our fundamental strategy for waging war with the Americans, in addition to keeping the nearly 5 million square kilometers of land west of the Mississippi River that we have already acquired, is to drag the Americans into the quagmire of war, and then use the superiority of weapons and equipment, soldier quality, and defense to consume more of the Americans' national wealth in the war. Pen ~ fun ~ cabinet www.biquge.info try to delay the post-war recovery of the United States as much as possible, and lay the foundation for us to gain a firm foothold in North America. So unless the Americans themselves can't fight, we won't take the initiative to end the war. Therefore, the military expenditure of 100 million silver dollars prepared for this time cannot be handed over to the Government Council!"

After listening to Huo Shan's words, Huang Sheng's eyes couldn't help but show disappointment, and he sighed in a low tone. Even Zhan Tianyou, who was silent while listening to the conversation between the two, had a moment of gloom in his eyes.

Looking at the appearance of the two of them, Huo Shan chuckled twice, "Teacher, Mr. Cheng, I haven't finished my words yet! Although the military expenses can't be moved, the Huo family can still take out 500 million silver dollars!"

"Really?" Huang Sheng asked with an anxious expression, "Xiaoshan, 500 million silver dollars is not a small amount, why don't you discuss it with your wife first after you go back?" Although he knew that the Huo family had strong financial resources, with the development of the Huo family's army in the past five years, the industrial scale of the Huo family had expanded rapidly, especially in the past two years, it had shown an explosive growth rate. But the Huo family, which has already taken out 500 million silver dollars, has the strength to come up with another 500 million silver dollars without harming its own industrial development, Huang Sheng is very skeptical.

"Teacher, don't worry, all the industries of the Huo family. My mother had already put me in charge. Moreover, 500 million silver dollars I am not a one-time ** to the Government Council, 100 million a year. I believe that with these industries of the Huo family now, they can still be guaranteed!" Huo Shan said confidently.

After more than two years of turnover, Huo Shan received the two billion pounds from Europe and the United States, and has transferred 500 million pounds of gold, silver, jewelry, art, machinery and equipment, industrial raw materials and other wealth, although most of them cannot be circulated as currency. However, Huo Shan still has the confidence to come up with another 500 million silver dollars. In addition, during the Second Five-Year Economic Plan, he was able to transfer more wealth from Europe. Coupled with the income of the Huo family's various industries, 500 million silver dollars, 125 million pounds. It's not much of a problem.

"Teacher, although the taxes and additional income of the Government Council cannot guarantee the investment of our second five-year economic development plan, except for the loan of the Huo family, it is not too difficult to solve this problem!" Huo Shan said. After noticing the gaze of the two of them resting on himself. couldn't help but smile faintly, and continued: "A war in the Americas, in addition to land and talents, we have also harvested a large number of industrial equipment, among these industrial equipment, in addition to the steel, mining, chemical, machining, oil extraction, shipbuilding and other heavy industrial equipment we need, more than half of it is silk reeling, textile, oil extraction, flour processing and other light industrial machinery and equipment, these equipment is not necessary for us. Therefore, we can sell them to various merchants in Nanyang who need them, so that we can return the funds to invest in heavy industry and infrastructure construction. It can also promote the development of national industry, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone!"

If it weren't for the fact that there is a serious shortage of senior technicians in Huo Jiajun's army, and the people lack the foundation to operate heavy industries such as iron and steel, chemicals, etc., and Huo Shan does not want a large number of small and medium-sized heavy industries to mine indiscriminately and destroy the ecological environment of Nanyang, I am afraid that he would have sold even the heavy industrial machinery and equipment he seized from the United States. After all, the age of these devices varies, many of them can be traced back to before the Civil War, and not only is it energy-intensive, the production is insufficient, but the wear and tear is even worse.

"In addition, in the past five years, we have harvested a large number of jewels and jade and various priceless works of art from the Qing Dynasty, Korea, the islands of the South Seas, the United States and Egypt.

After listening to Huo Shan's words, Huang Sheng and Zhan Tianyou, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help but nod with joy on their faces, although the Huo family army has only been established for five years, but the wealth hidden in the people is very strong.

The wealth of Nanyang was famous in later generations, and the Japanese looted more than 50,000 tons of gold from here in World War II alone, which strongly supported the rise of Japan after the war.

Although the current Nanyang cannot be compared with later generations, it can be seen that the islands of the Nanyang are rich by looking at the looting of the Huo Jiajun at the beginning and looting nearly 4,000 tons of gold and other large amounts of wealth including jewelry, jade, and silver.

What's more, the richest people in the entire Nanyang region are not the lazy natives at all, but the hard-working Chinese and the original colonizers scattered on various islands. Therefore, Huang Sheng knew very well in his heart that with the vassal and elegant style of the Chinese, especially the merchants, since ancient times, the artworks that the Huo Jiajun had looted for a long time would definitely sell for a high price.

"In addition, among all the government investment, industry, education, railway and highway construction, port and other infrastructure construction is the majority, in order to save money and better complete the second five-year economic development plan, we can take out some of these large projects and hand them over to Nanyang businessmen to solve. For example, the railways in the Second Five-Year Plan that Mr. Cheng just mentioned, I think that those railways with a total mileage of less than 1,000 kilometers can be handed over to the merchants of Nanyang to fund the construction, and after they are completed, they can also be handed over to them to operate themselves, and then they need to abide by the railway management regulations we have formulated!"

"Young Master, is this okay?" Zhan Tianyou asked with a hesitant expression.

At present, the cost of building a heavy-duty broad-gauge railway within Huo Jiajun is 32 silver dollars per meter, and the cost of 1,000 kilometers of railway is about 32 million silver dollars.

After hearing the meaning of Zhan Tianyou's words, Huo Shan said with a smile: "Of course one or two companies can't do it, but if ten or twenty companies are added together, according to the proportion of investment, to form a Western-style joint-stock company, I believe there will be no problem." In this way, we will save more money, invest in more industries, and let our business develop more rapidly. ”

Huo Shan, who came from later generations, knew very well in his heart that the country's strength and economic development would not work by relying on state investment alone and taking the road of nationalization, and the collapse of the Soviet Union was the most obvious example. Therefore, at the beginning of the establishment of the Huo family's army, Huo Shan was dedicated to promoting the development of commerce within the territory, and for this reason, he did not hesitate to auction off all the family business that the Huo family had accumulated for nearly half a century.

It is also this group of lucrative Huo enterprise enterprises, so that Taiwan, which was dominated by agriculture at that time, suddenly appeared hundreds of large and medium-sized industrial enterprises, although most of them are textile, weaving, silk reeling, sugar and other light industry enterprises, but it is also this kind of light industry enterprises with little investment and quick results, which has created a large number of national entrepreneurs in Taiwan, and then with the pace of the Huo family's war, their scale has grown step by step.

Now, Huo Shan once again plans to use the worldwide economic crisis and the machinery and equipment and talents obtained by the United States in the war to further promote the development of light industry within Huo Jiajun, and at the same time, he also wants to guide some of the ambitious national entrepreneurs to gradually invest in heavy industry enterprises. Promote the vitality of Huo Jiajun's internal market, and further improve the economic structure in which state-invested enterprises in Huojiajun now occupy the majority.

Now we have not only solved the problem of insufficient funds in the second five-year economic plan, but we can even build more railways, highways, ports, wharves and other infrastructure and industrial enterprises in the next five-year plan!" Zhan Tianyou said with admiration on his face.

"Hehe, it seems that the content of the second five-year plan is going to be taken back and revised again!" Huang Sheng also said with a happy expression.

Hearing this, Huo Shan also smiled faintly, what he said could be understood and thought of even by a middle school student in later generations, but limited to the limitations of the times, it stumped Huang Sheng and Zhan Tianyou, the two top talents, as well as many talented people in the Government Council.

"Teacher, Mr. Cheng Cheng, although we can save money by guiding businessmen to invest in infrastructure construction, we can't overdo it. At the same time, all departments of the Government Council must strengthen management, absolutely must not cause disorder in the market economy, and must ensure the healthy development of the entire Huo Jiajun's industry and economy!"

After listening to his words, Huang Sheng and Zhan Tianyou nodded almost at the same time, although they had not experienced the afterlife, because of the national turmoil, war, and even collapse caused by the domestic economic chaos. However, they are very clear about the ancient and modern saying that 'governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh'!

"In this way, Xiaoshan, you don't have to take out your 500 million silver dollars anymore!"

"No, I will still hand over the 500 million silver dollars to the Ministry of Finance. After a pause, Huo Shan continued: "Compared with the Western powers, although we have been established for five years, the foundation is still very weak, so we must take advantage of the current world economic crisis, the Western countries are stuck in the quagmire, and put all the wealth that can be taken out into the development of the country, only in this way can we narrow the gap with Britain, France and Germany, these top powers, and lead the rise of the Chinese nation again!" )
