"2 million people is not too much, it can't be reduced!" Meng Xiang smiled a little bitterly.

Meng Xiang is wiping out and cleaning up those clowns who jump off the beam in the country, and at the same time, he is also taking some measures to calm the domestic pressure.

Not everyone knows about the existence of the base, and they have the bottom in their hearts, so Meng Xiang needs to come up with some measures to calm the military crisis on the finances.

After all, many people are working for the country, and no matter how powerful a regime is, it needs the support of the people.

The transformation of some units into corps construction has indeed saved some military expenditures, and this has not hindered the development of the National Defense Force, but on the contrary has adjusted its structure to make it more optimized. But at this time, when Zhou Bai also proposed to reduce the number of front-line troops in the south because of the large number of front-line troops and the cost was too great, Meng Xiang could no longer act silently.

"As long as I save another 1 billion yuan in military spending, I will be able to fulfill the requirements you said in advance. It doesn't have to be until June next year, just three more months! "Under the rapid development of China's economy, money is needed everywhere, and Zhou Bai is also crazy about being squeezed by money.

After the reform of the new currency in China, 1 Chinese dollar is equivalent to about 0.3 US dollars, which is close to the previous price of the ocean. Although Zhou Bai said Chinese dollars, it is equivalent to 1 billion Chinese dollars of 300 million US dollars, which is also a large amount for Meng Xiang.

In order to improve Huaxia's industrial structure, make Huaxia's industry and economy enter a virtuous circle as soon as possible, and get rid of the unstable base and the dependence on the technology of the Western world, Meng Xiang can be said to have spared no effort to invest.

Except for the expenses required to develop the layout abroad, almost all of the hard currency earned by relying on arms and other goods has been invested in the country.

Now the base has achieved a virtuous circle, and there is even a surplus in the base account, but these are unattainable. It is only possible to intensify the production of munitions. This means that with an expanded army, Meng Xiang can mobilize a well-equipped army of one million at any time. However, it is not possible to directly allocate money to support the improvement of domestic industry.

really let Meng Xiang directly take out the $300 million. He's really cramped.

You must know that the United States, the world's largest arsenal, is already operating at full capacity and has begun to occupy the majority of the world's arms trade.

Even if the cost of the base is cheap. It is possible to fight a price war. However, it is not always possible to receive orders for arms at a low price and with good quality, and the sale of arms under huge profits is often opened by politics.

Like, the British. They need more than just weapons. The lack of troops and the factors of the alliance forced them to favor the United States.

Although the British desperately pushed down the Americans' windfall profit space on the Umbrella Company's offer, the Americans got the largest order. It doesn't matter if they owe something in some places, they can make up for it in other ways.

The ambitions of the Americans are no longer just the profits of arms, but the whole of ravaged Europe has opened the door to future dumping against them.

The other younger brothers in the Allied forces even looked to the U.S. military as their leader. They sometimes get a lot of aid directly from the Americans at some other cost that doesn't cost them.

This also greatly reduces the transaction volume of the umbrella company, and sometimes the arms transactions of shadow companies do not necessarily require money, and those land and minerals cannot be exchanged for money in time.

Similarly, as the industrial power of the Germans began to shift to the military in full, orders for copycat companies decreased. And most of them are exchanged for technology and machines from Germany and Italy.

It's a pity. With the base detonating the windfall profits of penicillin in the world in advance, by now, both the Americans and the Germans. All already have their own penicillin production lines. lowered the price, so that Meng Xiang also lost the profiteering golden egg it brought in advance.

In addition, the Chinese army and the domestic demand for medicines in China is a huge number. The drug supply of the base is fully shifted to the domestic side, and it is insufficient. The ability of pharmaceuticals to attract money to the outside world has disappeared, and foreign transactions are mainly supported by arms trading.

With the expansion of the Chinese army, the consumption of munitions made by the base has also risen rapidly, and the number of foreign sales is also decreasing.

All in all, although it is easy for the Arms Shadow Company outside to earn 300 million hard currency every year, it is impossible to take it out all at once. What I earned before, without much savings, has been invested in China to accelerate the development of China.

Meng Xiang didn't want to drag it out until 45 years.

Although the base only gave a 49-year limit, 45 years as the end of the World War II era and the beginning of the prelude to the Cold War, I am afraid that it is not so simple.

43 years are about to pass in a blink of an eye, and even if the European war has been involved in 39 years since Britain and France participated, it has been breaking out for almost 5 years.

Under the impetus of Meng Xiang intentionally or unintentionally, the fight became more intense than before.

In addition to the fact that the Americans who joined later became more and more energetic, all sides were already a little tired, and even in Germany there were many strange voices with the stalemate under the overall military control.

History has been somewhat distorted, and Meng Xiang is also worried that the British and Germans will leave the Americans behind and reach a compromise first, so that his whole layout will get out of control. We had to defend one or two embankments, especially when we were close to the 45-year mark, which was a huge historical inertia.

Therefore, Meng Xiang wants to launch a larger-scale war as soon as possible and extend his tentacles to Europe, Africa, and even the Americas.

But the background behind that unreliable base has always made Meng Xiang jealous, worried that the all-out war launched will lose the support of the base after an accident at the base, thus bringing the whole of China into the abyss. This was the main reason why he never dared to agree to the alliance of the Germans, for fear of accidents.

The inexplicable ability has always been impossible to rely on with peace of mind, even Xiaohua has to be restricted by a higher level, Meng Xiang can only use all his strength to strengthen Huaxia's own strength, and he also has to rush for time.

In Meng Xiang's schedule, after the more than one billion marks of weapons and materials supported by Germany were exchanged by the Germans with more technology and machinery, the primary accumulation of Chinese industry could be completed in the first half of 44 years, and it had the ability of self-development and a certain amount of self-preservation.

Zhou Bai proposed at this time that he could spend money to advance this plan, which is undoubtedly good news.

Throwing money, Meng Xiang is not afraid.

Mining armies based around the world can directly supply gold and silver hard currency through refining workshops. Moreover, in times of war, arms have always been in short supply, and although the Americans control the bulk and draw some high-end goods from the army, they can always make a lot of money.

If you move around and make up a lot, you can make up $300 million. Even Meng Xiang can fluctuate in monetary policy and directly make up 1 billion Chinese dollars.

But it is not possible to reduce the army in the south.

"Without these 2 million troops, it would be impossible to Jing'an in the south." To Zhou Bai, Meng Xiang can only say this.

If it is Lao Tang and Fan Chong, Meng Xiang can directly tell the truth: Huaxia needs a large army to clean up Nanyang, so that Huaxia can completely gain a foothold in Nanyang.

Of course, the meaning of that cleanup will be slightly different for different people.

Even for the old Tang who is the least thoughtful in his heart and often makes a move to Meng Xiang to attract vicious schemes, this explanation of cleaning up is also a little reserved.

Only the clones who were loyal and would never refuse any orders from Meng Xiang knew the full meaning of the cleanup.

In order to leave no hidden dangers, most of the two million troops will only commit acts of killing that are appropriate for this era, and completely cleanse the natives who have raised their arms. Especially for the puppet army pushed by the Japanese in front, it was even more unceremonious, completely annihilated, and there was no need to leave a hand at all. Of course, cleaning up those puppet troops who are fleeing in all directions will often injure some civilians by mistake.

As long as civilians are not slaughtered directly, it is already a very charitable army in this era.

To deal with those indigenous civilians, Meng enjoys the back hand of the cloned spies, and there is no need to give people a handle stupidly.

The greed of the natives, which has already manifested itself in the Chinese, is enough to make them kill each other with only a little profit.

The British are the best at this, and in later generations in the former colonies such as India, the Middle East, Africa, and the Americas, they played many conspiracies or conspiracies to provoke them.

Later Americans learned from this, and even Huaxia fell into a series of conspiracy of cannibalism among compatriots.

In the same way, Huaxia only needs a few means of yang conspiracy, and even does not need the impetus of the clone spies, which is enough to make many tribes go all out to use the cruel means of extermination. The Chinese army needs to deter the greed of the indigenous people, make every effort to protect the personal and property safety of the Chinese and immigrants, and open up a better living space for them.

When the aborigines and the Chinese were enemies, they always took advantage of the right time and place to escape into the jungle, leaving hidden dangers.

The dumbest and most effective way to deal with jungle warfare is to rely on a sea of people. A pull-net search based on the superiority of numbers can definitely overwhelm the seclusion of the jungle.

In Nanyang, those indigenous talents are the mainstream with the largest number of people, and in the early stage of immigration, they could not give full play to the advantages of the large number of Chinese people, so they could only rely on the army.

Sometimes the methods of the army under accidental injuries are also a little excessive, which makes Meng Xiang feel a little uneasy. But then, the suffering suffered by Huaxia before and the various things in later generations made Meng Xiang harden his heart again.

The various means under the benevolence of Britain and the United States and other countries are to earn bloody gold coins. And Huaxia is mainly for survival.

In later generations, the Chinese population accounted for one-fifth of the world, but the living space was far from enough, and in the end it could only self-compress the population in a palace style.

Even in the backward primitive tribes, in order to survive, all those who are cut are the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, but in later generations, China needs to cut the hope of a nation.

"The army on the southern front cannot be reduced, on the contrary, we need to increase it, and strive to win a broader living space for China!" Meng Xiang said toughly, "The living space is all made out!" ”
