Volume 9 Undercurrent Surging Chapter 66 Inner Motivation

The country is actively dealing with the aftermath, and the republic is also actively dealing with the aftermath. After receiving a hotline call from Rurajapani. Wang Yuanqing immediately convened a high-level military and political meeting.

The conclusion of the deliberations was clear: the contradictions between the Republic and India had not been eliminated, but had become more pronounced; Since no bilateral agreements and treaties with the force of law have been signed, ending the conflict does not mean ending confrontation; India will inevitably fall into the arms of the United States, rebuild its armaments with the help of the United States, or in a few years, India will be able to regain its military strength; The republic has no choice and must complete its preparations for war as soon as possible for the next war.

At the meeting, Wang Yuanqing clarified several key points.

It is to speed up political reform, strive to complete the political reform at the grassroots level before the general outbreak of contradictions between the Republic and India, start the political reform at the provincial level, establish a political system of democracy and the legal system in the provincial-level administrative regions of the Republic, steadily promote the reform of the political structure of the central government, and lay the foundation for the eventual and comprehensive completion of political reform.

Second, it is necessary to increase national defense spending, and the annual increase in the national defense budget should be at least one percentage point from the year of the milk beater, so as to make up for the losses caused by the reduction of national defense spending during the period from the year of retention to the year of strength, and the Ministry of National Defense will establish a new mechanism for examining and approving the national defense budget to ensure that the national defense budget can be used in the most critical places.

Third, it is necessary to promote military reform, strive to initially complete military reform within three years, and replace the original equipment with all kinds of new equipment developed after the first year. Two-thirds of the army's combat units, including all major field armies, have completed the rearmament, and the Air Force has given priority to the refitting of tactical aviation and support aviation. The Navy prioritizes the expansion of the surface fleet.

Fourth, it is necessary to speed up the reform of the military industry, strive to complete the first phase of reform within three years, increase the proportion of new private military industrial enterprises to a higher level, gradually open up the field of military scientific research to private military industrial enterprises, speed up the restructuring and merger of state-owned military industrial enterprises, and give priority to supporting military industrial enterprises with major influence.

Fifth, it is necessary to establish a sound strategic reserve system. Within three years, we will strive to establish a strategic reserve system covering hundreds of materials needed for basic national livelihood security and national economic development, including foodstuffs such as grain, poultry meat, and edible oil, industrial raw materials such as fertilizers, steel, and rubber, and first-aid materials such as medicines and tents.

Sixth, it is necessary to readjust the structure of the country's import and export trade, strengthen economic and trade exchanges with the DPRK, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, Myanmar, Malaysia, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Pakistan, Iran, Syria, Egypt, Libya, Argentina, and other countries, and gradually get rid of dependence on India's primary industrial products.

Seventh, it is necessary to optimize the structure of the country's labor force, give priority to supporting high-tech and cutting-edge industries, strive to increase the industrial production efficiency of the republic by more than twice within three years, reduce the serious dependence of social production on labor, increase national income, and enhance the country's ability to cope with large-scale wars.

Eighth, we will lower immigration standards, giving priority to opening up to traditional friendly countries such as Pakistan, North Korea, Vietnam, and Bangladesh, and conditionally lowering immigration standards to Laos, Cambodia, Cambodia, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, and other countries, allowing more immigrants to enter the Republic, and providing basic education for all immigrants. Replenish the labor gap in the republic.

The eight points are almost all aimed at a full-scale war that will break out a few years later.

As can be seen from this, there are no fewer problems in the republic.

In addition to political reforms with sharp contradictions. The biggest problem is the aging of the population.

In the Year of the Craftsman, the Republic adjusted its family planning policy, not only encouraging qualified couples to raise a second or even third child, but also providing subsidies to families raising a second catty child in the form of tax rebates. However, the policy did not have an immediate effect. In the year of the sword, the total population of the republic will be reduced to ten thousand, and in the year of the kiss, it will be reduced to Gangyi by one billion per year; Even if policies that promote population growth have an effect. In a few years or so, the population of the republic will be reduced to less than 700 million. During this period, the aging of the population, and the resulting labour shortage, will be the most serious problem facing the Republic.

The reduction in labor force has had an impact not only on economic construction, but also on national defense construction.

In the year, the labor cost of the republic was the paste of the United States, and the average gross national product of the republic was less than that of the United States. Although the technological advantage compensates for the disadvantage of labor costs. However, technological superiority is also affected by labor costs, and if the labor gap cannot be solved as soon as possible, sooner or later the republic will lose its technological superiority, and sooner or later it will lose at the hands of the United States. To put it seriously, the republic has a high probability of losing to itself in the end.

The towering cost of labor has led to an increase in profits year after year. In the year of the concave year, in the national defense budget of more than 100 million yuan, more than 100 million yuan was spent on personnel allowances, accounting for a large proportion of national defense expenditures. During the same period, the US military personnel expenditure was only mentioned in the national defense budget. Although the army has been raising the salary of military personnel year after year. Even if the allowance of ordinary soldiers exceeds the average income of society, it cannot attract more talent, and most of the technical talents urgently needed by the army prefer to work in private enterprises with better remuneration than to serve in the army.

What's more serious is that in the past two years, with the rapid urbanization rate of the republic, there is basically no "potential" to dig up.

Until then, the Republic can also solve the labor problem and improve labor efficiency by accelerating the process of urbanization, reducing the agricultural labor force and increasing the number of people employed in industry and services. Of course, transferring labor is not as simple as urbanization. During the reign of the Republic of China, the Republic began to implement thugs

"We are introducing education, improving the knowledge of the labor force, reforming higher education, focusing on supporting college students in poor and backward areas, and strengthening the training of senior technical talents.

Regardless of the amount of education, the prerequisite is that there is a surplus agricultural population.

The urbanization rate has reached a high level, which can be regarded as a hurdle for the national exhibition. After crossing this hurdle, there is basically no surplus labor force in the rural areas. And so it is true, among the agricultural population of the gills, that is, of the rural population of about 100 million. The elderly and minors are interested, and the actual labor force is only about 10,000. Although according to this data, "one agricultural labor force feeds 10,000 non-agricultural labor force", this indicator is still far lower than that of Western countries such as the United States, and even lower than that of underperforming countries such as Brazil, South Africa, and Argentina, it is difficult to transfer agricultural labor to industry and the tertiary industry through the policy before the basic land policy of the Republic is changed, and it is impossible to tap the surplus labor force in the rural areas.

In fact, the decline in the agricultural population has already placed a great burden on the country.

In addition to the working population of Bikouwan, there are also about the elderly and minors who need to be undertaken by the whole society. Governments at all levels will not invest less than RMB per year in this regard. In order to ensure the production of at least the basic needs of the people of the whole country. The state should also provide subsidies for agriculture every year and speed up the reform of agricultural mechanization. The state also has to spend hundreds of billions of yuan on agricultural scientific research to increase the yield of crops in order to prevent grain production from being reduced in the face of a decrease in labor.

It can even be said that the aging of the population is the main driving force for Wang Yuanqing to carry out political reforms.

After the political reform, the basic system of the republic will inevitably change, and the land policy, which belongs to the basic system, will also change. Only by speeding up the degree of land annexation can we realize agricultural mechanization in an all-round way, fundamentally improve agricultural production efficiency, and feed the entire population with fewer peasants.

The problem is that political reform and pro-life policies are long-term and difficult to produce results in the short term.

To that end, the Republic had to find a short-term solution. In the year of imprisonment, the plenary congress deliberated and passed the "Revision of the Law on the Administration of Immigration Applications" submitted by Wang Yuanqing himself, relaxing restrictions on immigration.

For many, strengthening immigration is the main means of solving the current problem.

In fact, after the bill was passed. The results were very good. In prison years alone, there are 10,000 people who apply for the second people's republic, which is twice as many as the year of the tooth.

The problem is that the republic is not a country of immigrants. Although many neighboring countries, such as North Korea, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and other countries, have similar cultures to the Republic, and the social environment of the Republic is also very attractive to the people of these countries, with the economic development of the "Eastern Economy" with the Republic as the core, the economic strength of the neighboring countries will increase, and the attractiveness of the Republic will decrease.

What's more, immigrants will produce a lot of social problems at the General Assembly of the year. Representatives of several regions jointly proposed to amend the Immigration Application Management Law to strengthen control over immigration. These deputies are not opposed to immigration, but believe that immigration will fundamentally undermine the ethnic structure of the republic, pose a threat to the Han nationality that occupies the dominant position, and will also pose a threat to the ethnic minorities in the republic, and will also breed crime and cause social unrest.

Attracting immigrants is not a long-term solution, but a policy of equity.

What can really solve the problem is to improve the production efficiency of society.

To improve social production efficiency, in addition to intensifying the development of basic technologies, it is also necessary to speed up the degree of economic transformation, let the more dynamic and active private economy gradually replace the state-run economy, comprehensively implement the market economic system, and fully exploit the market mechanism.

In order to accelerate the transformation of the economy, it is necessary to carry out political reforms.

Only by fundamentally changing the political system of the republic can the state-run economy, which occupies most of the social resources, relinquish its dominant position and provide more space for the private economy to survive and develop.

The so-called one time, that time.

A few years ago, the state-run economy was able to solve the problem of surplus labor and prevent tens of millions of industrial workers from losing their jobs in market competition, which would affect social stability. At present, the private economy can make more rational and effective use of social labor. Addressing labor shortages.

It can be seen that political reform is not just about establishing a new political system.

As the saying goes, if you come out to mix, you will have to pay it back sooner or later.

As early as many years ago, Ji Youguo realized that "population aging" was the biggest enemy of the Republic. Wang Yuanqing is more aware of how serious the harm this problem is to the republic, and if it is handled well, the republic will be able to survive the most difficult years in the slow development, and if it is not handled well, the republic will forever be reduced to a third-rate country.

Dealing with the ageing of the population is not the personal responsibility of national leaders, but the whole society

Allow.

It can even be said that it started with Ji Youguo. The Republic has unswervingly embarked on the path of external expansion, and the fundamental purpose is to cope with the coming aging society.

It seems that this speculation is almost untenable.

In fact, if you look a little deeper, you can see the connection.

Before the republic, there were two living "cases." "One is Japan, and the other is Western Europe.

In order to solve the problem of an aging population, Japan has embarked on the path of "export-oriented economy". The reason is very simple, the consumption power of the aging society is far less than that of the normal society, and the burden is much higher than that of the normal society, mainly because the elderly are not the social labor force, not only can not produce social value

The need for social welfare in all aspects, such as pension, medical care, and health care, has fundamentally limited the consumption power of the whole society and increased the social burden. If Japan relies solely on its own market, it will never be possible to solve the problem of aging. The burden of ageing on society can be reduced only by strengthening exports and using trade profits to finance the social welfare of the country.

In order to solve the problem of population aging in Western Europe. The "Eastward Expansion Strategy" was adopted. After the collapse of the USSR. The EU expanded rapidly eastward, encompassing many former Warsaw Pact members, including Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Romania, Bulgaria, Albania, and the former Yugoslavia. Gaining "fresh blood" Although Japan's economic policies are different and the EU pays more attention to political policies, the results are different. That is, to use the market, labor force and exhibition driving force of the new member states to drive the economic development of the EU and solve various problems caused by the aging of the population. To put it simply, it is "to nourish the old with the new." "Passing on the issue of ageing to new Member States.

Japan's policies with the EU have one thing in common. i.e. the downstream market.

As high-end industrial countries, both Japan and the EU need downstream markets.

As the Republic enters the ranks of high-end industrial countries, it is also facing the problem of aging, and there is only one solution, which is to obtain a downstream market that is enough to support the entire country through the aging period.

The republic can see this problem, as can those countries that dream of containing it.

In essence, "the US-Soviet Cold War." After that, the United States spared no effort to encircle and suppress the republic, and established an airtight strategic defense line around the republic, with the fundamental purpose of not overthrowing the republic militarily. Rather, it is necessary to block the pace of the republic's external expansion, cut off the republic's downward market, and hold the lifeblood of the republican in the hands of the United States and other Western countries. Wait until the aging problem of the republic explodes, and let the republic decline on its own.

Imagine that without resources and cheap products from neighboring countries, there would be no strong demand for high-end industrial products of the republic from neighboring countries. Why does the Republic face the problem of aging through high-end industries? If the republic still relies on labor-intensive, resource-consuming, and low-value-added industries, with the advent of the aging population, how can the labor force only get the economic return of barely supporting itself, how can it feed tens of millions and more elderly people, and why should it implement policies to promote birth and feed more children?

In fact, the republic is doing the same.

The Fourth Indo-Pakistani War allowed the Republic to acquire huge markets such as Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka, which had about the second largest population, as well as downstream producing countries composed of about the prime of labor. The war in the East China Sea gave the Republic tens of billions of barrels of oil and hundreds of billions of cubic meters of natural gas in the East China Sea. The War not only gave the Republic of China access to Vietnam, Laos, Burma, Cambodia, Thailand, Malaysia, and other countries with huge markets of about 300 million people, downstream producers composed of about 300 million people, but also the abundant resources of the South China Sea. The Peninsular War gave the Republic access to a market with a population of more than 10,000 people.

"Buying and selling at a loss" is not impossible, and the Japanese war has turned a market with hundreds of millions of thugs into ruins.

Relative to the old 100 million population of the republic. The market of some 800 million people in the surrounding area is far from being able to solve the serious crisis that is currently being faced. Even if other friendly countries, such as Iran, Syria, Yemen, Egypt, Libya, Argentina, and even the African continent, are counted, all the "poor friends" are included, and it is not enough to keep the republic from worrying about the sales of its products before the year.

According to the most conservative estimates, if the republic wants to move smoothly towards the year of Niuo, it needs at least overseas markets and production areas with a total population of about one trillion yuan and a total labor force of about one trillion yuan.

There is no doubt that the Republic needs a larger market and downstream producers.

Before that, the republic did very well, only the American factor ended up screwing up.

Obviously, economic factors became the internal reason for Wang Yuanqing's active promotion of a large-scale war against India. Quite simply, India, which has a population of 100 million people and is likely to break through the second population in the northern year, will play a decisive role in the smooth passage of the aging period of the Republic.

This also confirms the saying that economics determine politics.

After the meeting, Wang Yuanqing left Xiang Linghui and Pei Chengyi behind.

Preparation isn't just a big thing. The economic side is in place, and if economic power cannot be transformed into military power, the republic cannot win on the battlefield.

When it comes to concrete issues, military construction is more likely to determine the outcome of a war a few years later than an economic exhibition.

Because he had already received a call from Yuan Xi's assistant, Pei Chengyi brought the combat report of the last round of strikes, and specially prepared an analysis report that Wang Yuanqing could understand. After serving Wang Yuanqing for so many years, Pei Chengyi knew that Yuan didn't like to read those overly professional battle reports. More importantly, in order for Yuan to support the military construction plan of the General Staff, it is necessary to let Yuan clearly know how much benefit military construction can bring?

When it came to the dawn of the day, Xiang Linghui and Pei Chengyi said goodbye and left.

The report document containing the actual combat performance of the new weapons and equipment of the Republic was left in the Yuan Mansion, and then locked in a top-secret safe by Wang Yuanqing.

Only three people know how the new weapons and equipment will behave.

It will not be until a few years later that the outside world will know the true situation of the battle born in the early morning of February from the actual combat performance of the republican ** team!
