The war is fought in terms of comprehensive national strength, and the economy is the most important in comprehensive national strength~

All day on 29 July, Wang Yuanqing spent the whole day at the State Council investigating and understanding the domestic economic situation and the international economic and trade environment, and obtained first-hand information on the economy.

In terms of economic work ability, Gu Weimin is not as good as Pang Xinglong.

Fortunately, when Gu Weimin became premier, the economic situation of the republic had improved; Before leaving office, Pang Xinglong laid a solid foundation for the adjustment of the industrial structure and did not leave Gu Weimin with problems.

In terms of managing finances, Gu Weimin's ability is impeccable.

In 2021, the Republic's fiscal deficit reached a record 8,254.3 billion and domestic inflation exceeded 7%; By 2023, not only will the fiscal deficit be reduced to 100 million yuan, and domestic inflation will not be met, but Gu Weimin will also propose to repay 67% of the debt by two years.

Pang Xinglong recommended Gu Weimin as prime minister, not because he opposed Wang Yuanqing's entry into the Central Committee, but because he took a fancy to Gu Weimin's ability.

From the time Ji Youguo came to power to the time when Zhao Rundong came to power, the Republic has always implemented an expansionary fiscal policy and promoted social and economic reforms with industrial restructuring as the core. When Pang Xinglong left office, the Republic "owed" more than 30 trillion! Although the large-scale issuance of treasury bonds has solved the problem of funds for infrastructure construction and economic stimulus, it has also produced serious negative effects and left future troubles. If nothing else, from 2015 to 2022, inflation in the republic has been above 65%, which is equivalent to "diluting" the wealth in the hands of the people by half.

An expansionary fiscal policy cannot be sustained, and the debts owed will have to be repaid sooner or later.

With the completion of preparations for the adjustment of the industrial structure, high-tech and high-value-added industries dominated by electric technology, biotechnology, communication technology, electronic technology, and other high-tech industries have gradually replaced resource-based and labor-intensive industries, and the Republic has not only officially entered the ranks of developed countries, but also gradually put its economic development on the right track.

In this case. Changing the prime minister who is more "financially savvy" can maximize the consolidation of the economic foundation of the republic.

"Mixed" in the Ministry of Defense for 5 years. Gu Weimin, who is specifically responsible for managing the defense budget, became the best choice.

Wang Yuanqing had to admit that Gu Weimin had "special" ability. under the control of other places. Almost every dollar of money is well spent.

The first three quarters of 2024. Fiscal spending is not "overspending". More than 980 billion yuan was also saved.

According to the budget report submitted by Gu Weimin. The full-year fiscal surplus is expected to reach 40. This is 15% more than the budget at the beginning of the year. Because the 2025 budget plan will be presented at the end of the year. So Gu Weimin has already drawn up a draft. It is proposed to control the local fiscal budget within 33 trillion yuan in 2025. Strive to save 7.5 trillion by the end of 2025. Lay the groundwork for the completion of the long-term plan. Just now it seems. Gu Weimin's grand goal will definitely not be achieved.

Look. The republic is "rich".

In fact, there is simply not much money in the pockets of the republic.

Because the Great Depression is not over, promoting economic development remains the core mission of the Republic.

After the trade war "died down", countries have increased "government consumption" to stimulate their own economic development in the form of infrastructure investment, government-guaranteed loans, public resource consumption, etc., and the direct consequence is that major economies have hoarded surplus materials that cannot be digested for years or even decades. The US Democratic Party won the election, and Westwood will definitely vigorously "rectify" the US economy after taking office, and use more financial resources to stimulate domestic consumption; The Republic will gradually take control of the surrounding markets, economic development will shift from expansion to a solid foundation, and the world economy will improve.

Improvement is a gradual process, not an overnight thing.

During this period, no matter which country, it has to find a way to consume the surplus materials that have accumulated in the mountains and inject new vitality into economic development.

This is also the basic basis for the inevitable outbreak of a large-scale regional war with the participation of many parties.

Unlike other countries, under the influence of industrial restructuring, the republic does not have the problem of "serious surplus of materials", but the problem of "insufficient resources and unbalanced distribution". In other words, while other countries are desperately trying to deplete their stockpiles and provide vitality for economic development, the Republic has to carefully use its limited resources and rationally distribute economic resources and social wealth to promote economic development.

According to Gu Weimin, even if the target of land completion by the end of 2026 is halved, the problem is still very serious.

Zhao Rundong must have greeted Gu Weimin, otherwise Gu Weimin would not have been so well prepared.

After Wang Yuanqing proposed to leave an additional budget for the war, Gu Weimin came up with a very detailed assessment report.

If the war ends within half a year, without considering the loss of equipment, the war expenditure will be in 1500018000 according to the casualties of military personnel, and the total expenditure will be nearly 300 trillion yuan 1200015000 the reconstruction of national defense forces after the war.

If the war lasts 1 year, direct expenditures will exceed 35,000, indirect expenditures will be 3 trillion, and total expenditures will be almost 7 trillion.

If the war lasts 2 years, direct expenditures will exceed 8 trillion, indirect expenditures of 55000 total expenditures will exceed 100 million.

If the war lasts more than 2 years, there is a high probability that the total expenditure will exceed 20 trillion.

Very amazing and very shocking one.

Although Wang Yuanqing didn't know how Gu Weimin came to these conclusions, one thing can be admitted, how much the war expenditure was, and after the scale was expanded, the money was spent faster than the flow of water.

According to Gu Weimin, the war on the peninsula will deplete all the savings of the Republic in five years.

To Wang Yuanqing's surprise, Gu Weimin no longer objected to solving the problem by military means. After Wang Yuanqing proposed drawing up a detailed war budget as soon as possible and purchasing all kinds of war materials in advance, Gu Weimin came up with another very detailed plan, which clearly mentioned the main matters for war preparations.

The problem of armament is not big, after all, the republic has one of the largest holdings of weapons and equipment in the world.

Even with some of the most advanced equipment that is in small quantities, the production capacity in wartime is much higher than in normal times. In the case of the J-14 fighter, the annual output of a production line in peacetime will not exceed 200, which is guaranteed to retain enough skilled workers; During the war, as long as the supply of raw materials and spare parts was solved, the monthly output could exceed 1 aircraft, and if a large number of skilled workers were trained, it was entirely possible to break through the annual output. Even relatively special naval vessels can be built more than twice as fast as usual while ensuring the supply of raw materials and accessories.

In large-scale wars, the demand for consumables such as ammunition far exceeds that of weapons and equipment.

In peacetime, no country hoards ammunition in large quantities, because most of it cannot be given to other countries in the same way as second-hand weapons, and if it is not consumed on the battlefield, it has to be destroyed at a cost. In the case of the United States, for example, the stock of air-launched cruise missiles in peacetime is less than 000 units, and in the first few days of the war in Iran, nearly a thousand were used. If the United States does not have a strong military industry, will it have the guts to massively use advanced ammunition in small quantities in the war?

You can't win a war with supplies alone, and you have to deliver them to combat troops.

Logistical support capabilities are a serious challenge for any country.

In order to fight the Iranian war, the United States mobilized more than 1 giant cargo ship to deliver an average of 15,000~:all kinds of war materials to the front line every day, and for this reason, nearly 5,000~:all kinds of materials were consumed every day during transportation. Although the Korean Peninsula is close to the Republic of Korea, and there are three railways leading to North Korea, Dandong, Linjiang and Tumen, the capacity of land transportation is not as good as that of sea transportation, and the risk of bombing of railway lines has to be considered.

Gu Weimin did not give a briefing on the situation in the DPRK, but focused on the situation at home.

3 railway lines, up to 150,000 ground troops to ensure combat consumption.

Counting road transport, after deducting the impact of the war on transport capacity, a maximum of 200,000 ground troops are guaranteed to fight on the front line. Because North Korea does not have an adequate defense industrial base and is very vulnerable to attack, it must also consider providing the necessary assistance to the North Korean military. In this way, it would be very good to be able to send 7 corps to fight on the front line.

The Air Force deployed in the country still needs adequate logistical support.

Fortunately, the republic has a strong transport infrastructure, which is sufficient for logistical support.

The last question mentioned by Gu Weimin was something that even Wang Yuanqing did not expect, that is, the treatment and resettlement of casualties.

Where there is war, there are casualties, and the war in Laos exposed the Republic's inadequacy in the construction of military medical personnel. Even if it is possible to mobilize the medical staff of the major military hospitals and local public hospitals in wartime, it is necessary to set up wartime hospitals in the rear, not far from the front line, to provide the best treatment for the wounded.

Compared with other mobilizations, it is relatively more difficult because it involves non-military personnel.

According to Gu Weimin's intentions, in addition to the central government, it is also necessary to give full play to the capabilities of local governments, especially those near the war zone, and share the pressure of the central government.

Wang Yuanqing did not agree with Gu Weimin's suggestion for the time being, because Zhao Rundong clearly said that he should "keep a low profile".

After a busy day and after identifying the main issues, Wang Yuanqing assigned tasks to the State Council and put Gu Weimin in charge of the relevant preparations.

Declined the dinner party prepared by Gu Weimin, Wang Yuanqing and Ye Zhisheng left the State Council.

"The Führer must have greeted Gu Weimin." After getting in the car, Ye Zhisheng started talking, "Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so smooth today, it's okay, so as not to waste our saliva." ”

Wang Yuanqing shook his head with a smile and said, "You always like to look at others with glasses. Gu Weimin was personally picked up by Lao Zhao, and although there are times when it comes to conflicts with our opinions, he is no worse than us when it comes to safeguarding national interests. Everyone was working for peace before, but as the possibility of war grows, it becomes pointless to continue working for peace, and whoever it is, driven by national interests, will change their attitude and deal with the new situation. ”

Ye Zhisheng smiled and said, "Brother Wang, I still have to continue to learn from you." ”

"Take your time, you're still young." Wang Yuanqing also laughed.

At this time, the phone in the car rang.

Ye Zhisheng hesitated, and Wang Yuanqing also frowned, because it was not an ordinary line that came in, but a secret line specially set up by the Military Intelligence Bureau.

Damn it**
