"Come, come, eat watermelon, watermelon, stone melon from Yongbyon, Jingshui town, it's sweet and cool, it clears away heat and relieves heat, come, come, try them all.○"
Qi Rusheng walked quickly with a fruit plate in his hands. There were pieces of peeled and peeled watermelon inside. It was red and happy. As he spoke, he glanced at Xue Xiang and winked.
When he got closer, he placed the fruit plate on the coffee table, sat down next to Xue Xiang, and said, "It's no wonder that the chief is in a bad mood. It's just that recent events have been too worrying. The chief was also upset, so he thought of letting him
You give me some ideas, you are the one with the best brains..."
Then, Qi Rusheng laid out the problems Xue Anyuan encountered.
It turned out that Xue Xiang had forgotten that the wheel of history was still following its original trajectory, crushing the old problems - military expenditure could not keep up, and the National Defense Forces had to go to sea.
Xue Xiangshen is familiar with military history and party history. Historically, the National Defense Forces' deployment to sea was also proposed in the past two years. In the final analysis, it is not that military expenditures continue to decrease sharply, but that modern military requirements for scientific research and capital have become increasingly fierce.
As far as Xue Xiang knows, last year's military expenditure was nearly 30 billion, accounting for about 10% of fiscal expenditure. In terms of amount, it is the highest in history, but in terms of proportion, it is nothing in military history. The Korean War, the Vietnam War,
Military expenditures usually account for about half of fiscal expenditures.
Ten percent is not a lot. If we talk about the shortage of military spending, increasing the proportion means that since the reform, although the country has experienced various problems, it has finally become richer and stronger. No one objects to the overall understanding.
Although becoming rich, it does not mean that military spending must increase. Under the conclusion of the old leader that there will be no war in the next thirty years, military construction will inevitably be placed in a relatively secondary position compared to economic construction.
In addition, although the national strength is slightly stronger, the reform project is still in the ascendant, money is used everywhere, money is lacking everywhere, and there is no surplus in the central finance.
Even with the implementation of major disarmament, reducing personnel and increasing efficiency, the military expenditures allocated to each soldier have increased. However, under the wave of world military revolution, a surge in military expenditures is inevitable, but the central government does not have the financial resources.
As the main promoter of the political reform of the Republic, Xue Anyuan lamented and worried day and night in the face of this situation.
But he was still worried, and there were considerable problems before him that needed to be solved. Xue Anyuan had no idea. But someone proposed a solution, which was for the National Defense Force to go to sea and organize and operate their own industries. They also compared it to reclaiming Nanniwan.
Do it yourself and have enough food and clothing.
"That's a good idea!"
After pondering for a moment, Xue Laosan gave an affirmative answer.
"Is it an idea? Third child, you are fooled by lard!"
Xue Anyuan's eyes widened, his face filled with majesty. He said angrily, "What do soldiers do? To protect the country? If a soldier does the work of a businessman, what kind of soldier would he be? Soldiers are only interested in profit, so what kind of spirit of sacrifice can they cultivate?"
If we really have to rely on soldiers to buy and sell, then I would rather the entire army tighten their belts and add millet and rifles. It will definitely be more effective than the young soldiers carrying foreign guns and cannons!"
What Xue Anyuan said is true. In the history of another time and space, the National Defense Forces went to sea for several years, and the shortcomings were finally exposed. Just as Xue Anyuan said, the combat effectiveness collapsed, and a considerable number of soldiers had problems.
However, Xue Laosan, who has been born in two generations, can look at the problem dialectically and said, "Uncle, don't worry. Aren't we discussing issues? We must be fair and equal when discussing issues. Otherwise, I will go to bed, but
I don’t have time for your complaints.”
Xue Anyuan stared, Qi Rusheng stuffed a piece of watermelon into his hand and urged, "Hurry up, don't beat around the bush, tomorrow's meeting has to go on."
Xue Xiang grabbed the watermelon by himself, swallowed it in one gulp, and said, "I think this issue must be viewed dialectically. If the National Defense Forces go to sea, it will indeed cause this series of inevitable consequences as you said, even if there are a few
Terminating this resolution after two years will take a long time to heal the damage done to the National Defense Forces."
"But what is the current objective problem? The National Defense Forces are short of money. If this problem is not solved, no matter how serious the opposition is, it will inevitably become empty talk. Comrade Anyuan, do you have any clever ideas? Just blowing your beard and staring at your eyes are not skills.
!”
Xue Anyuan smiled instead of being angry. He grabbed the towel Qi Rusheng handed him and wiped his mother's hands. "You have such a good brain and you hit the nail on the head. Indeed, if you don't solve the problem of lack of money, I will break my throat and slap the table."
, and no one will pay attention to it. If you take out the money, the problem will be simple, and someone will listen to you. If you don't say it, I will almost forget about you, aren't you just a
Are you a tycoon? I heard from Xiao Qi that this time you set up an oil company in Siberia. When it was listed on the market, one guy made more than 10 billion yuan. In U.S. dollars, if converted into RMB, it must be several hundred. You
The boy can't sleep on two boards, and he eats a lot. He can't eat a hundred kilograms of grain a day. If you need so much money, donate it all. National defense construction is serious!"
Xue Xiang really jumped up and stared at Xue Anyuan. He couldn't believe his ears. He stared at the Chinese character face for a long time and realized that the old man was really not joking. Xue Xiang was simply drunk.
What's the idea? To trick yourself into something?
He is not someone who would only benefit the world by plucking a few cents, but to say that he would sacrifice his small family for everyone is unthinkable.
Seeing Xue Xiang's devastated expression, the old man became unhappy. He slammed the table and hummed, "Xiaodujichang, you have nowhere to spend the money you earn. The country needs it, so you donate it. Then the country will have money."
I’ll just give it back to you!”
Xue Xiang no longer expected to persuade the old man from the perspective of public and private interests. He thought in his mind and said, "Chengchengcheng, I will donate. I will donate. I will donate. Master, please think about it. I will donate. You
You have to dare to take it!"
As soon as he said these words, Qi Rusheng changed his face and stood up and said, "Chief, you must not do it. Everyone else can donate, but the little chief cannot donate. With this donation, someone who is interested will be accused of buying the military's morale. You still think it's inappropriate?"
Aren’t the dark clouds above our heads thick enough?”
Xue Anyuan came to think of it, indeed, tens of billions of family property was a secret donation, but how could it be concealed at the highest level of the National Defense Force? He, Comrade Anyuan, has presided over military reforms in recent years and has already made great achievements. This time, again,
Trying to get all the money back would be self-defeating.
Xue Anyuan sat in a chair in a daze. He was an old-school cadre and had lived in the organization all his life. He truly regarded the organization as his home. When the organization was in trouble, he was willing to give in to his heart and soul. Just now, he came up with the idea to let Xue Laosan get naked.
Donating is not a joke, but a true statement.
After Qi Rusheng's words, Xue Anyuan's self-righteous idea died, and he fell into a dead end of depression and hopelessness. (To be continued...)
