I am in the courtyard, animals are just vegetables!

Cao Dongfang began to care about military affairs. The Air Force started to replace its fighter jets, and the replacement of equipment for other military branches was put on the agenda.

“Minister, we don’t have enough weapons and equipment right now. We recruited 700,000 more troops in the past two years, and weapons and equipment have sold well in the past two years, so we have used up the reserve warehouses.

If we start replacing equipment now, it will take until early April 2009 to complete it. This is the conclusion we have drawn from our careful calculations.

"It will take until April 1999, which is a bit longer. If we don't count the soldiers in those two territories, it will take several years for us to cut another 500,000 soldiers from the army."

"It's not easy to cut the army by another 500,000. There are too many people asking for mercy. We need to discuss it carefully. Will our army of 1.1 million be enough?"

"It's enough. The strength and number of our air force, navy and rocket force are all increasing. Too much land force will only affect military spending.

I have calculated that it would be enough to keep 1.1 million soldiers in the army, and 1 million soldiers in the navy, air force and rocket force. Three years later, we can then demobilize the troops in those two areas based on the actual situation.

We will have a meeting the day after tomorrow. All senior generals must be present, except those who cannot come. "

"Yes!"

The meeting three days later was also known as the "Complete Regularization of the Army" meeting.

After five days of heated debate, the meeting reached a consensus that the army would again reduce its troops by 500,000 within three years. This was not a simple disarmament, but a reorganization to reduce the number of soldiers.

The majority of them are the 48 soldiers who were newly recruited two years ago, accounting for 100.8% of all sergeants, totaling 20 million people, and the navy accounts for %, about people.

Five years later, another 80,000 army troops will be reorganized into the Marine Corps to strengthen the navy and amphibious combat capabilities.

The Air Force accounts for about 18%, and the number of various aircraft has increased by four to five hundred, greatly enhancing its strength.

Finally, the Rocket Force accounts for 14%, and their increase is the largest, which is also due to the needs of war.

The senior generals of the army were somewhat unhappy. The army's combat effectiveness would be strengthened, but the number of personnel had been reduced by one third, from 1 million to 3 million.

Those big brothers will not feel good as the number of their subordinates has decreased again.

The naval generals were also happy. Not only did they not get the disarmament figures this time, but they also had the Marine Corps and two nuclear-powered aircraft carriers in their hands five years later, and the personnel were all included in them.

The Air Force is also being strengthened. It would be a lie if they said they were unhappy. The Rocket Force is in the best mood. This time, it is the liberated serfs singing.

From an unknown junior auxiliary military branch, he suddenly became another big boss. 14% is troops. Awesome, no explanation needed.

"Dongfang is using the excuse of changing equipment to start real military reforms. The five-year period is until the year 2001. He seems to like this number very much."

"Shouldn't you like the number 2001? What about 2007, 2009, 2001, and 2003?"

"There's nothing special about Ling San."

"Yes, Comrade Dongfang has been in office for thirty years. He wouldn't want to retire in 2003, would he?"

"It is very likely that he is very tired, especially in the past 30 years. He is just a man of ability who works harder. His health is better than ours if we tie them together. He wants to retire, but that is not possible."

"If he wants to retire, go and tell the person who appointed him that we have no right to remove him from his position as defense minister after serving for 50 years."

"Old Zhu, you are quite mean. Be careful, Comrade Dongfang will come to you to argue. He will persuade others with physics.

This is a small matter. With Lao Zhu's ideas, we can do other things. How to deal with the financial crisis. "

“It’s not a big deal, we discussed it with them carefully for a week, taking all aspects into consideration.

They have no problem dealing with these funds themselves. These funds are also afraid that we will support them. We can pretend to be dead first.

We show that we have very little cash, and gold is pledged as collateral for loans in several major banks, giving them the illusion that we have less than one trillion in cash to support our business, and no gold.

We don't need big support. The East has intelligence and a terrifying amount of cash. If we ask him to help two places, we're afraid they'll use administrative means to interfere again."

"It's feasible for Comrade Dongfang to go, but administrative measures are useless."

"I agree. Let's pretend to be poor and dead."

"Pack!"

........

"Ha, Brother Long is awesome. He is going to cut his army by 500,000. This shows that he doesn't want to fight for hegemony but is not afraid of being attacked by others. I admire you!"

"It's really admirable. There aren't many people with such strength who don't fight for world domination. They can hold back and not only not fight for domination, but also reduce their military strength."

"This is probably the second to last round of disarmament. If they disarm another 300,000 troops next time, they won't be able to disarm again."

"With a territory of nearly 18 million square kilometers, there are only 2.7 million troops left now. In three years, there may be 2.4 million troops. This is not a large number."

"Not much more than the rookies at their peak? One is less in the Army, and the other is less in the Navy."

"The navy is very expensive, and overseas bases also cost money. Their military expenditure last year was only 600 billion, which is the same as the military expenditure of the rookie in 1977 and 1988.

Don’t forget that their exchange rate in 1 was 6.5:6.5, which means that the military expenditure of the rookie in was times that of their military expenditure in .”

"It's a bit too much. It might be better if the newbies could do more construction."

"It's in the past. Let's not talk about it. What I like most is their attitude of not competing for world domination. This way, the world won't be in chaos."

"I think so too."

"Everyone, what the hell is this Army Heavy Armored Brigade? I've never heard of it before."

“I don’t know much about it, but I heard it’s very impressive. A heavy combined-armor brigade is an independent combat unit that can fight alone and has many auxiliary troops.

A heavy armored brigade has about 8,500 people and the military equipment of a brigade is worth 18 billion, so the effect will not be bad.

This time there are 70 heavy-armored combined brigades, and the expenditure alone is 1.26 trillion. This is only 600,000 people, or more than 500,000 people, which also requires a lot of money. "

"They don't have much money left, and this has to be completed over three years. The impact of spending more than 50 trillion yuan on land purchases is still huge."

"Nonsense, two years of national GDP, more than eight years of national fiscal revenue, how many people can afford this kind of money?"

"Just one."

"Yes."

........

“Dongfang, you are going to replace your equipment starting next year, which will cost more than 5.3 trillion yuan, and you will need another 1 trillion yuan in support.

It costs so much money to replace the equipment this time? Is your military expenditure in the past ten years true? "I went to my mother-in-law's house on Saturday, and my father-in-law was very concerned about the army's equipment replacement.

Not that many. These are the figures announced to the public, one reason for which is to make it easier to set prices for military equipment in the future.

Another is that the economic crisis in Asia is coming, and we have to pretend that we have no money to reassure those funds so that we can deal with them when the time comes," Cao Dongfang explained.

"What is the price of a heavy-armored combined brigade? Can you tell me how much it actually cost this time?"

"Just don't talk nonsense when you go out. The ex-factory price of the heavy-armored combined brigade is 9 billion. We can double it, but others can buy it for 30 billion.

The 5 trillion yuan figure for foreign countries means that our ex-factory price is no more than 1.5 trillion yuan. We are the richest department, and the money is enough to replace equipment ten times.

In the past, the revenue from the sale of military equipment was split 50-50. With the three purses of the military, the amount handed over to the military has increased from 400 billion in 1980 to 1 trillion next year.

Buying those two plots of land was not as difficult as I thought. The main reason was that I didn’t want to borrow money, which was not cost-effective.”

"Dongfang, the Asian financial crisis is really coming, isn't it the Mud Monkey family?" Song Qianli asked.

"In the middle of this month, it's the Human-Shemale Country and the Universe Country. They have already made plans, and we are also prepared. Let's play for a while and see who is stronger."

"There weren't many introductions to it in China, so I thought it was no big deal."

"It's fine for us."

"Don't worry if you're fine."
