readx; Since the defeat of Beiyang by the Nanjing Republican Axe, the Nanjing Republican Axe has been negotiating with the foreign powers on tariffs and other related issues, in addition to the autonomy of tariff rates, it also requires that the management of tariff payments be returned to the Chinese side, and return to the repayment model of the pre-Qing era, rather than the Chinese side can only get the surplus. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 After several rounds of negotiations, the multinational banking consortium was forced to return the customs duties to China at the same time, which was deposited by Huaxia Bank. Of course, the arrears secured by various tariffs still have to be repaid as usual. The Customs Department predicted that the total import and export volume in 1915 would exceed the 2 billion mark, and the tariff revenue would be further submitted due to the increase in the total import and export volume and the increase in the tax rate of some goods, such as the increase in the tax rate on foreign cloth, so the tariff revenue would be further submitted, which was expected to reach more than 150 million Chinese dollars, but most of this money had to be used to repay.

The other salt tea tax will be about 150 million.

In addition to these revenues, there is a special tax on tobacco and medicine, that is, a very high tax on opium, morphine, sulfonamides, and cigarettes, which adds up to almost 100 million.

If the revenues from the fields of taxation, industry and commerce, salt tea, customs duties, and special taxes are combined, then the fiscal revenue in 1915 is about 900 million yuan.

This money seems to be a lot, several times more than the poor budget of more than 200 million yuan of the Nationalist Army in 1914, but at that time, the Nationalist Army only had about 200,000 troops, and the area under its control was not very large, and now, the Nationalist Army has ruled the whole country, and it will need at least hundreds of millions of dollars just to maintain the normal operation of the local political axe departments and administrative organs across the country, and even the education funds will cost 100 million yuan.

In the budget for financial expenditures submitted at the end of last year, administrative expenses were 400 million yuan, education expenses were 100 million yuan, and industrial development expenses were 300 million yuan. In addition, because the Nanjing Republican Political Axe fully accepted the arrears of the former Qing Dynasty and the Beiyang Political Axe, it was necessary to repay more than 100 million yuan of internal and external arrears of principal and interest every year.

Therefore, in the initial expenditure budget, the total expenditure was as high as 1.3 billion, which seriously exceeded the 1915 revenue budget, and such an exaggerated expenditure budget plan could not be implemented, Chen Jingyun ordered all departments to reduce the budget again, whether it was the political axe or the military must drastically reduce the budget, otherwise he Chen Jingyun would cut the budget by himself, for which the various departments made large-scale cuts on this basis, and then put forward the second round of expenditure budget, and the education fund became 80 million. The administrative expenses have become 300 million, the military expenditure has been directly cut from 450 million to 300 million, and the industrial development expenditure has also become only 200 million, but with the repayment of more than 100 million, the total expenditure budget has probably become about 1 billion, but the revenue budget is only 900 million, which is still seriously insufficient, so Chen Jingyun ordered all departments to continue to reduce the budget.

In this case, the Ministry of Civil Affairs and other departments of the Government Council have already indicated that the administrative expenses have been irreducible, and they will get at least 300 million yuan. It is easy to reduce the cost of education, but it is not known when the planned universal education will be realized, so it is not easy to reduce the cost of education if you want to raise the level of education. And it seems that the best reduction of industrial development funds, Ma Yinchu personally found Chen Jingyun, if there is no budget of 200 million, then he immediately resigned, and the Ministry of Communications's railway department Ye Gongxuan also said to Chen Jingyun that next year's railway plan is officially at a critical juncture, Baotou Railway is in need of a large amount of capital investment, once there is not enough capital investment, then to Outer Mongolia railway has to know the year of the monkey Ma Yue can be repaired.

In terms of military spending, it has been cut from 450 million to 300 million, which is already intolerable to military bigwigs such as Shen Gang and Sa Zhenbing, you must know that the army has put forward a plan to rebuild 32 divisions, the core is to rebuild the troops occupied by the Gui Army, the Dian Army, and the Jin Sui Army, and in terms of China's vast territory, it is not too much to ask for 32 divisions, and the navy has also submitted the first phase of the naval development plan, requiring the construction of three light cruisers and 15 destroyers. Two lightning strike fleets with nine destroyers and one light cruiser each were to be built in three years.

The military expenditure required to realize these land, sea, and air plans is not ordinary, and the 450 million yuan will become 300 million yuan, which is unbearable, and if the reduction continues, then the military will have to break out into large-scale protests.

In the current budget proposal, the military expenditure of 300 million yuan accounted for only 30 percent of the total budget, and this was quite low among the countries at that time; for example, in the military expenditure of this country, the naval budget alone accounted for more than half of the fiscal revenue, and in the budgets of various countries before World War I, the proportion of military expenditure generally reached about 30 or 40 percent. As for the current World War I, it is basically no longer comparable to normality, but the entire country has served in the war.

In the 1915 budget, the proportion of 30% of military spending was not much different from the 28% of the former Qing era in 1911, but the total budget of 1915 was as high as one billion, so the total military expenditure also increased by about 50%, and then now China needs to build a large number of regular troops and rebuild the navy period, the innovation of various equipment is very fast, and the cost of troops is getting higher and higher, which leads to the need for more military spending than in the former Qing era.

After the military expenditure could not be cut, the Ministry of Finance prepared to issue treasury bonds to raise up to 100 million yuan in order to make up for the budget deficit of up to 100 million yuan.

On the other hand, Chen Jingyun is also actively preparing to negotiate with other countries, trying to get countries to give up Gengzi reparations! Among the Gengzi indemnities of various countries, the United States has given up a year ago, and has used part of the Gengzi indemnity that has been paid as an education fund to pay for Chinese students studying in the United States and to provide financial support to Southeast University.

And after the Nanjing Republican Axe declared war on Germany and Austria-Hungary last year, it naturally stopped paying Gengzi indemnities to these two countries. It was precisely because the Gengzi indemnity payments of these three countries had ceased to be paid that in 1915 China had to repay the arrears of various countries and the principal and interest of the various arrears of the national debts, only 1.2 billion yuan, otherwise the amount would have to be increased by tens of millions of yuan.

For the arrears of up to billions of dollars owed during the pre-Qing Dynasty and the Beiyang political axe period, Chen Jingyun did not plan to repay them all, although it is unlikely that all of them will be relied upon, but it is still possible to slowly drag them off by various means, and the political axe of the Republic of China in history can successfully rely on more than a billion yuan, and there is no reason for him Chen Jingyun to give it obediently.

Now that the United States, Germany, and Austria-Hungary no longer have to pay back the Gengzi indemnity, no matter how hard they try, Russia and other countries may not need to be replaced, and if they really can't pay it back, it's a big deal to go to war!

Anyway, Chen Jingyun never thought about rising peacefully, there is really no other way to rise in these years except war, either to fight others himself or to be beaten by others, but no matter what way it is, it is war.

Despite many controversies, the 1915 budget was finally passed, and as soon as the budget was passed, the three navy, land and air forces, which had previously been allied in competition for the military budget, immediately turned around and competed for military spending.

You must know that the 300 million yuan in the budget is the total military expenditure, and the specific distribution of the three countries by the army, navy, and air force is not in the hands of the Government Affairs Yuan, and the allocation of the military budget is the matter of the State Committee itself.

For the budget allocation of the three armed forces, Shen Gang, Sa Zhenbing and Wu Shizhong, the people of the three families of the sea, land and air force, quarreled for most of the day in the huge conference room without any result, and the army said that if it were not for our army to fight the world, there would be the status of your navy today. The navy said that if we hadn't held the Yangtze River at the beginning, your army would have been cleaned up by Beiyang, and if it weren't for us to support you on the Yangtze River, it would still be a question whether you would have been able to cross the river in the battle of crossing the river. Although the Air Force wanted a relatively small budget, and at the beginning it only planned to ask for 30 million, but it also aroused the collective opposition of the Navy and the Army, and according to their minds, your Air Force only has a few wooden planes, and the total number of an air force is not as large as that of a division of the Army, so why should it ask for 30 million.

After arguing for several days, the navy, land and air forces had no result, and it was estimated that it was impossible for the three armies to reach an agreement on their own, so they found Chen Jingyun one after another.

Shen Gang personally approached Chen Jingyun with the 1915 army reorganization plan, and formally proposed that the army would not ask for an increase in numbers, but only that the numbers of the armies, divisions, and brigades previously assigned to the Dian Army, the Gui Army, and the Jin Sui Army be restored. This is said not to increase the number, but in fact, the army will be expanded by more than a dozen divisions and brigades, and because in the new establishment in 1915, the establishment of mixed brigades will be changed into compendium divisions, and the 1915 army reorganization plan submitted by the army is revised according to last year's army reorganization plan, with the establishment of the 1915 new establishment as the core, the establishment of integrated divisions and the transformation of mixed brigades into compendium divisions. The plan includes the guard division, which China needs to build, and will eventually reach the size of 33 integrated divisions and 26 condensed divisions, with a total of 59 infantry divisions, in addition to three cavalry divisions, a number of reading artillery regiments, and fortress garrison regiments.

At the same time, the Army also pointed out that the civil war had ended, so except for a small number of combat-ready units that remained at full strength, the rest of the troops would be able to maintain a peaceful strength, so that the number of troops in peacetime could be effectively controlled. Even so, the total number of the army's field troops will soar from the current 450,000 to about 650,000, and the local garrison units will continue to expand, bringing the total number to 200,000, so the total strength of the army will exceed 850,000.

That's a pretty scary statistic!
