When Wu Yuanqing returned to the head of state... Ye Zhisheng had already waited for half a dozen people in the study.

"The latest investigation report." Ye Zhisheng handed the black-skinned document he brought to Wang Yuanqing. He picked up the cigarette on the table and said, "Time is very tight, so he quoted some previous investigation data. A more detailed investigation report is still being formulated and is expected to be completed tomorrow morning."

Wang Yuanqing nodded and opened the document.

Time is not Ye Zhisheng's fault. The war broke out just now. Wang Yuanqing made the decision to formally declare war on India last night, leaving only a few hours for Ye Zhisheng to collect and organize the investigation report of the national defense force. Fortunately, Ye Zhisheng had done a lot of preparations before this.

Only by knowing Mao and the enemy can one never be defeated in a hundred battles.

A comprehensive war is fighting for the comprehensive strength of the country, especially the national defense strength.

Unlike wars against weak countries, the full-scale war with regional powers like India is not the combat effectiveness of the army, but the country's military industrial production capacity. It can be said that Wang Yuanqing, who once served as chief assistant to the head of state during the reign of Jiyouguo and served as vice president of the country during the reign of Zhao Rundong, knew the significance of military industrial production capacity to large-scale wars. Peninsula War and Japanese War have tested the military industrial production capacity of the Republic. Especially the Japanese War, if it were not for Zhao Rundong and Wang Yuanqing who spent several years on preparations, the Republic would inevitably encounter many difficulties.

Like the Japanese War, the scale of this war will not be much smaller.

Because this is a large-scale war of regional nature, Wang Yuanqing pays more attention to the equipment and ammunition production capacity of the Army and the Air Force. After all, the construction cycle of the Navy is too long. Unless the war lasts for several years, the wartime mobilization mechanism will not have much impact on the Navy.

After a rough look, Wang Yuanqing lit a cigarette.

There is not much problem with the production capacity of the military industry, because Wang Yuanqing will not fight a war that he is not sure. Just like planning the Japanese war back then, after the conflict in southern Tibet ended, Wang Yuanqing took advantage of the opportunity of military industrial reform to make a comprehensive adjustment to the military industrial production structure of the Republic. Not only did he introduce private capital on a large scale, but he also formulated relevant laws and systems to restrict private arms enterprises, including the responsibilities and obligations that private military enterprises should fulfill in the state of war, and incorporated private arms enterprises into the country's strategic rules and regulations. By introducing the country's long-term strategic plan, the government's responsibilities and obligations in the construction of military industry were stipulated in the form of legislation, such as providing government loan guarantees for arms enterprises and reducing business taxes for arms enterprises, so that arms enterprises can establish more arms production lines in peacetime rather than establishing production lines according to sales standards.

In other words, small fighter jets meet the purchasing needs of the Republic Air Force and Navy, as well as overseas potential customers; in fact, Zhongzhong Group has established a total of slightly-produced production lines, among which Luo Cai Air Force said that Xiaotiao specializes in producing export-type small-old series fighter jets for overseas potential customers. According to this standard, under normal operation, at least sales can be provided to all customers every year; if production is full-load and sales are not considered, the production line will operate at least every day, and at least 4 four fighter jets will be produced each year. Establishing more production lines means greater investment. To this end, Zhongzhong Group has obtained a loan guarantee provided by the government and included the cost of establishing a production line in the production cost of fighter jets. Although this practice will reduce Xiaozhao's competitiveness in the overseas market to a certain extent, arms are different from ordinary commodities. In the case of performance first, the price is relatively happy.

Similarly, other arms production lines in the Republic have been strengthened in four years.

Of course, it is not only the production capacity that determines the efficiency of arms production, but also the military needs.

According to the investigation report provided by Ye Zhisheng, when the Republic's Air Force basically seized air supremacy and the navy basically seized sea supremacy, the demand for high-tech weapons including Xiaojiu and Xiaokou is not too high. There is no need for the Air Force and the Navy to fully expand their organization during the war, mainly to meet the troops' war damage supplementary needs. Relatively speaking, what really needs to be vigorously produced are the army's weapons and equipment, as well as various ammunition.

Unlike the Japanese war, wars against India cannot achieve final victory in the air and at sea.

After Wang Yuanqing decided to declare war on India, the ground will become the decisive battlefield to decide the final victory or defeat. According to the relevant estimates made by the Ministry of Defense, the Republic's final investment of ground troops is likely to exceed the old 00,000, or even exceed the old 00,000. Although the main forces that are on the key side will not exceed the old 100,000, that is, the field troops fighting on the front are around the old army, and most of the combat troops will be used to maintain the strategic supply line in the rear and the public security work in the occupied areas. The war burden of the Republic can also be reduced by inviting allied countries to send troops, but the army's demand for equipment will definitely be far greater than that of ordinary wars, and more combat equipment is needed to provide the army with more combat equipment.

In the investigation report submitted by Ye Zhisheng, the army's equipment procurement accounted for the majority.

According to the standards for forming a thug and falling into the ground, at least one needs to purchase a flying Feifanjiang branch, an infantry fighting vehicle "blade-set electromagnetic gun system" for the army, a curved frame vertical take-off and landing attack aircraft, and the light weapons equipped with force include about 10,000 individual combat systems, old 10,000 team support weapons systems, and tens of thousands of platoon fire support systems, etc. The prerequisite for this procurement plan is to modernize all the weapons systems sealed in the old years and provide them to the second line troops for use. In this way, including all the costs of purchasing new weapons and modifying old weapons, it will cost about 4 Yi Yuan of war funds.

Money is not the key issue. The problem is that the equipment production and modification work will be completed within a year and a half after the war thug determined by Wang Yuanqing. It can be said that time is quite tight. If you want to complete the production work, you must comprehensively improve your production capacity from now on.

Compared with equipment production, ammunition production is more problematic.

During peacetime, countries can retain a large amount of weapons and equipment through sealing, but it is difficult to retain ammunition through sealing. Although with the improvement of technology, the effective storage time of most ammunition exceeds that of the old year, and some even reach the strong year, the risk of storing ammunition is too high, and the ammunition is updated and replaced faster. No country will produce ammunition in a large amount of time during peacetime.

According to general circumstances, countries like the Republic and the United States will only retain ammunition in peacetime enough to meet a low-intensity war or to meet the needs of the first three months of a large-scale war. If the war scale is expanded or the war time is extended, the production of ammunition must be accelerated.

The investigation report of the recommended investigation was based on battlefield information feedback from the frontline command.

Based on the ammunition consumption on the first day of the war, the Republic's ammunition reserves can not meet the thugs at most. Even if the consumption speed is reduced by half in the subsequent battle, it can only meet the combat consumption of half a month.

Fortunately, the production cycle of ammunition is very short, and as long as the production line is fully powered, it can be replenished.

In this way, the new question is whether the country can provide sufficient war funds in the short term and purchase weapons and ammunition from arms manufacturers.

The problem is also here. Ye Zhisheng made it very clear in the report that the central government's war budget will take a turnover cycle of one to three months before it can be handed over to arms manufacturers. Although large arms manufacturers such as China National Chenggong Group and AVIC Group have expanded their production scale and sold arms in the form of debits during the war according to the contracts signed with the government, and obtained a guaranteed loan from the government, major arms manufacturers must use cash to order resources for producing weapons and ammunition from upstream enterprises, especially resource manufacturers. When war funds cannot be distributed in time, the production work of arms manufacturers will inevitably be affected.

Seeing this, Wang Yuanqing frowned.

"The solution is not without it, but the national regulatory capacity must be used."

Wang Yuanqing nodded and said, "In the absence of a better choice, you can only do this. You can come up with a detailed regulation plan as soon as possible and discuss with Yan Jingyu.

Ye Zhisheng breathed a sigh of relief and said nothing.

The so-called "national regulatory capacity." In fact, according to the wartime mechanism, it replaces market operation with planned production, that is, using state power to concentrate the country's industrial production power. There is no doubt that doing so will inevitably have a negative impact on the country's economic development. After all, the raw materials needed to produce arms are not much different from those of other products. Concentrating materials in the field of arms production will inevitably raise the prices of industrial raw materials and thus raise prices. In this case, the Republic's economy faces a big problem, that is, the impact of incomplete war mobilization on prices will eventually increase the social burden and have a negative impact on the lives of all citizens of the Republic.

As the leader of the country, Wang Yuanqing had to consider this issue.

However, with the fundamental purpose of winning the war, Wang Yuanqing did not have a good solution.

“How is the mobilization of skilled workers going?”

"All major arms manufacturers have begun to recruit skilled workers. Although there will be some impact in the early stage, the impact will not be too obvious after three months. Ye Zhisheng wiped out the cigarette butts in his hand, and said, "According to the data provided by several large arms manufacturers such as China National Heavy Group and AVIC Group, since most arms production lines have achieved automated production and the requirements for workers are not too urgent, so the impact of insufficient workers is not very obvious. Next month, the production capacity of each major arms production line will reach about 60% of the maximum design value, and the maximum capacity will be reached by the end of October. As long as the progress of the war is as expected, arms production can keep up with the consumption of war.

Wang Yuanqing nodded slightly and said, "The other problem is the mobilization of soldiers."

Ye Zhisheng didn't say much, because the second half of the investigation report was about this issue.

The size of the Republic's army has been shrinking, and the army has the largest reduction in personnel. In the early days of Ji Jieguo's rule, the total strength of the army was close to Jin 10,000. If we included quasi-military forces such as armed police, the total strength of the army exceeded Guan 10,000. By the late period of Ji Youguo's rule, the total strength of the army was reduced to Bian 10,000, and in the quasi-military force, it was not as long as the thug Tian 10. By the time Wang Yuanqing was in power, the Republic's troops were reduced to Sichuan to Min 10,000. The quasi-military force was reduced to 10,000,000.

As the total force shrinks, the number of retired soldiers is also decreasing.

By the beginning of the past year, less than thugs were suitable for re-sergeants, with less than 40,000 retired soldiers.

Obviously, all retired soldiers who are suitable for re-service must be mobilized to make up for the shortfall of force. That is to say, including paramilitary forces, the total strength of the Republic Army must exceed the ground forces of the thugs and thugs.

The problem is that certainly not all retired soldiers are willing to serve again.

In fact, with the improvement of the level of military professionalism, the proportion of technical soldiers is increasing. Coupled with factors such as labor shortage, most retired soldiers have found suitable jobs in society and established their own families. Even under the inspiration of the country, some retired soldiers will wear military uniforms again, and there will still be many retired soldiers who will not re-serve again, and the country cannot force retired soldiers to serve again.

If you cannot recruit enough retired soldiers, you can only expand the scale of recruitment.

Ye Zhisheng clearly stated in his report that the recruitment scale should be expanded as soon as possible. If the war is at the end of the year, then in the first half of the war, the army's military strength can barely support the combat demand. With the expansion of the scale of the war, especially the expansion of the occupied areas, the army's demand for military strength will increase significantly at the beginning of the year of the eleventh year. In this way, it is necessary to train enough generals before this. Although the training cycle of the army is relatively short, with the increasing number of technical soldiers and the difficulty of training, it is not sufficient to train a group of generals in half a year.

Turning to the last page of the file, Wang Yuanqing knew it.

Expanding the scale of recruitment is not an easy task. Although under the inspiration of the country, many passionate young people will join the army and serve, in the case of a comprehensive shortage of labor force, the more soldiers recruited, the greater the impact on society. More importantly, all aspects of organization and training must be prepared in place.

"If the recruitment scale is expanded now, will it have a Dorf's impact?"

Ye Zhisheng was stunned for a moment, then understood the meaning of the head of state and said, "What kind of impact will be? It is still unclear now, but one thing is certain that our training system cannot meet the needs. In addition, after recruiting more soldiers, it will definitely have an impact on the country's economic activities. In addition, military production has a high consumption of resources, we may have to make the worst plan.

Wang Yuanqing vented his anger and said, "You are right, but we can't afford to wait."

"If recruiting soldiers now, I recommend limiting the age and education of the most recruited personnel."

"What does it mean?" Wang Yuanqing lit a cigarette.

"We must consider the impact of war casualties on the domestic situation. If we limit the age of recruiting soldiers to between 18 and 20 years old, then most of the recruited soldiers are born between thugs and 10 years old. This is also the time when we relax the birth policy. In other words, most of these young people have brothers and sisters, and the impact and impact on their families is much lower than that of only children Ye Zhisheng paused for a moment and said, "More importantly, most of the young people of this year have just entered university and have not graduated yet. If we place the recruitment targets as social labor, it will inevitably have an impact on social production. Recruiting current college students can be minimized. Of course, various subsidies and welfare policies can be used to attract current college students, such as the state bears their tuition fees and promises to provide free choices after the war is over, etc.

"It can be done, but a prerequisite must be set, that is, recruiting personnel must volunteer to join the army.

Ye Zhisheng nodded and said, "This is for sure. After all, we recruit volunteer soldiers, not conscripts."

"Also, the contract for newly recruited soldiers can be appropriately modified. After all, after the war is over, the size of the army must be appropriately reduced."

Ye Zhisheng nodded again, indicating that he understood the head of state.

"Is there any other problem?" Wang Yuanqing glanced at Ye Zhisheng and said, "As for the beginning, come up with a detailed plan as soon as possible, and then discuss specific measures with Yan Jingyu.

"Nothing else, I'll say goodbye

Wang Yuanqing nodded and sent Ye Zhisheng away.

At this point, Wang Yuanqing had a relatively comprehensive understanding of the situation in the Republic.

Although it cannot be said to be bad, it cannot be said to be ideal. You cannot have both fish and bear's paws. War will definitely have an impact on the country's economy and society. What Wang Yuanqing can do is to minimize the impact so that most citizens of the Republic will not lower their living standards or lose their relatives because of this war.

To achieve this goal, Wang Yuanqing must do one thing well, that is, control the scale of the war.

When Yan Shanglong arrived, Wang Yuanqing had been considering this issue.

It’s not that there is no way to control the scale of the war, but to what extent it should be controlled. Obviously, this is very funny with Wang Yuanqing’s upcoming declaration of war. Even the same word will change the meaning of the declaration of war and have an irreversible impact on the war.

Wang Yuanqing knew very well that at this moment, the intelligence agencies of the United States and India received news that the US President and the Indian Prime Minister were waiting for the war declaration by the head of the republic!
