readx; The 1941 budget was undoubtedly huge, and the military expenditure of up to 20 billion Chinese dollars ensured China's military expansion and continued to keep pace with the increase in military spending of various countries. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In fact, since 1939, the annual military expenditures of various countries have been temporarily increased when the situation is tense, and last year was in March 1940, because of the outbreak of a short-term armed conflict between China and the Soviet Union, in order to prevent a full-scale war with Soviet Russia, China's surname was to temporarily increase the military spending of up to 3 billion Chinese yuan to the navy, land and air forces.

Most other countries are also the same, and by 1941, the statistics of military expenditures of various countries in 1940 can get a more accurate data, in 1940, China and the United States have not officially entered the war of the two [***] expenditure is relatively small, China spent as much as 100 Chinese dollars in military spending, about 5 billion US dollars, the United States is less, only more than 2 billion US dollars.

Among the countries that have already entered the war, Germany is about $20 billion, and Britain is about $30 billion, and Britain is about $5 billion. Although the simple statistics of money data on the side of the Soviet Union and Russia are not of much significance, it can also reflect to a certain extent how much industrial capacity in the Soviet Union and Russia was invested in the war, and their war expenditure with Finland is not small, coupled with the armed conflict with China, so that the military expenditure of Soviet Russia has reached about 20 billion US dollars.

In 1940, China's military spending was already enough, but it was still relatively small compared with the countries participating in the war, and it was probably in the fourth place.

By 1941, China's $10 billion military budget seemed like a lot, and it was actually a lot, but in an era when all countries were already crazy or preparing to go crazy, the $10 billion was actually nothing.

In the foreseeable future, at least until the first half of 1941, China's military spending should still be the fourth largest in the world, ahead of China, Russia, Germany, the United States, and the United Kingdom.

However, it is worth noting here that in the military budget here, China and the United States are the kind that did not participate in the war, and their military budgets are based on peacetime military expansion, and military spending is used to expand the army, not to be used for war attrition. And the war has broken out between Germany and Britain, and it no longer makes much sense to consider military spending, and as for the fact that Soviet Russia was originally a state-owned system, it is meaningless to tell them about military spending figures.

China spends so much on military spending in order to ensure its military superiority.

Therefore, when the distribution of military spending is over, the three armed forces that got the money have launched their own huge procurement plans, and a large number of orders began to pour into the major domestic factories, you must know that this is 20 billion Chinese yuan, at that time, China's annual national output value was only 10 billion Chinese yuan, and the military expenditure of up to 20 billion Chinese yuan was poured into the domestic capital market through various military procurement, and personnel salaries poured into the domestic capital market in just one year, almost instantly, all the stocks in the Shanghai Stock Exchange rose across the board. The capitalists on Huidong New Road walked a lot briskerly one by one.

Before the war came, the domestic economic market had already shown a kind of abnormal wartime prosperity because of China's large-scale military expansion, and many capitalists even openly advocated that China must enter the war as soon as possible, not only to obtain greater overseas benefits, but also to inject a shot in the arm for China's economy, which had been in a weak state since the second half of 1940.

On Huidong New Road, the 23-storey Fule Building stands on Huidong New Road as usual, and the headquarters of Fule Electric was built during China's first skyscraper construction and was completed in 1921, and was the tallest building in China when it was completed, but this name was taken away by the Southeast Bank Building within a month. Since then, it has been used as the headquarters office building of Fule Electric, and of course, the headquarters of Fule Electric has not been able to use up so many offices, and some floors have been rented out to the outside.

Office buildings like the Fule Building are densely packed on Huidong New Road and the surrounding area, even from the outskirts of Shanghai, and you can see this dense and tall complex of buildings, which represents the most developed financial economy in China.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the short avenue of Huidong New Road is only more than 1,000 meters paved with gold, and to be able to carry a briefcase and wear formal clothes to work here every day, it can be said that it is the dream of the vast majority of Chinese people. It is a veritable elite type of high-level talent.

Based on Chen Jingyun's instructions, China's education system is actually very unfavorable to the growth of the country, because Chen Jingyun attaches great importance to only basic education, the state has invested heavily in primary education and junior high school education, not to say 100% for decades, but basically has allowed all the children of the people to get the most basic primary education, in order to achieve this goal, China spent countless resources and more than 20 years, until 1938 to achieve universal primary education, and the scale of junior high school is relatively large, An ordinary-sized town, at least a primary secondary school is guaranteed, and the education of primary school and junior high school is basically vigorously invested by the state, and it is the kind that has to maintain large-scale investment every year, and it is generally tuition-free, after all, for the vast majority of peasant families in China, the cost of living is already very miserable to provide children with other books in school, and if parents are asked to pay tuition, then the enrollment rate of primary and junior high school will be reduced by at least half.

However, in the next step of higher education, such as high school, college is more restrictive, and high school is called a preparatory school in many places, which means that high school is for college. That is to say, if you don't apply for college in high school, you are basically wasting these three years, and there is no difference between high school and junior high school for ordinary jobs, and in view of the difficulty of going to university in China, in fact, the vast majority of junior high school graduates will choose to enter the social work after graduation, and some will go to those technical professional schools, that is, technical secondary schools. A very small number of people with family background or very good young people will choose to apply for military school, in addition to excellent grades to apply for military school, a qualified letter of recommendation can benefit students a lot, the letter of recommendation is nothing for people with family background, but for ordinary children must be very good, and the reputation can not be small, so as to be able to get a written recommendation written by the local principal or other important magnates.

In Chinese universities, scholarships are almost universally biased towards technical departments, that is, mathematics, physics, and chemistry, while the number of scholarships in other humanities departments is very small. As a result, it is easier for technical students to get into college, and as long as nothing goes wrong, it is relatively easy to get a scholarship, even if it is not a full scholarship, at least half of the scholarship. But for human science, not to mention scholarships, even ordinary applications are very competitive.

Therefore, for those students in the Department of Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry as long as they are smart enough, a lot of people will write letters of recommendation to them, this is an era of long live genius, whether you are partial to the subject or not, as long as you show amazing talent in mathematics, physics, chemistry, then countless universities will take the initiative to send invitations, full scholarship is certain, and there are other preferential conditions, such as ensuring that you can enter various laboratories during the university, provide scientific research funds for a certain project, and a famous scientist personally leads the team and so on.

For technical students, as long as they are smart enough, but for students who need to apply for some human sciences, there are more restrictions, the application must have excellent academic performance, active and rich extracurricular activities, and a weighty internship experience, for those students who apply for the law department, there is no internship experience in the administrative office or the lawyer's office or the judge's office, and the admissions examiner does not even bother to read the application.

In addition to the students' own efforts, in fact, the greater impact on the humanities is their family economic strength, as mentioned above, in Chinese university education, scholarships are almost universally inclined to technical departments, and it is very difficult for people in humanities departments to get scholarships, which requires families to pay for expensive tuition.

Even though the implementation of elite education can allow the existing students of higher education to get an excellent education, but it has also led to extremely expensive tuition, not to mention private universities, even those public universities in China are extremely expensive, ordinary middle-class families, such as teachers, doctors and other standard families with a monthly income of more than 50 yuan, if the child is smart enough to apply for a technical department, it is fine, but to provide a child from the humanities department to go to college is to be careful and make long-term planning. And it's much harder than buying a house and a car.

This situation has also caused the fact that the number of college students in China is relatively scarce, and these scarce college students have to compete for incentives in order to enter the large enterprises in Huidong New Road, which shows the attraction of those large enterprises in Huidong New Road to talents.

In the elite dense Fule Building, in the huge and rich conference room at the top, business elites who came in one after another with meticulous hair, wearing expensive suits and even tuxedos, these senior managers from various departments and branches of Fule Electric were all laughing and talking, and the meeting had not yet begun, and several acquaintances were talking to each other.

"Your aviation department has made a comeback this year, and I heard that the Air Force Procurement Committee has passed your jet fighter audit program." A short man of about forty years old said to another slightly older man with a wine glass: "With your other contracts with the Navy, it shouldn't be a problem for you to double your profits this year!" ”

The fifty-year-old man said with a smile: "Fortunately, although there are some orders, but the air force and navy are too much at a price pressure, and the profits are much thinner, and it is not easy to establish a jet engine production line, and the investment in this area needs the support of the group!" ”

"Don't talk about me, I heard that you have a hope of entering the headquarters this time? And it was the executive branch that went to it? ”

"How did you hear about it, you haven't written a word about it, and you also know that I was born in Southeast Bank, which many people don't like!"

"What's this, you don't know that we Fule Electric does not pay so much attention to the origin of the faction to the other ones, we pay attention to the supremacy of talent, otherwise how to develop to the current scale, when we expanded step by step from the power supply, now in addition to the fast electricity, has involved aviation, shipbuilding, automobiles, refining, and grabbed these market shares from the mouth of those domestic enterprises. If there is no excellent talent selection system, how can we talk about development, let alone sit firmly in the position of the first enterprise in China! ”――
