Chapter 286: We Still Have Money
If the strength of the vanguard army is played well, it will not be inferior to the Soviet Russian army in later generations. But after all, I have just begun to explore various tactics, and there are many omissions. For example, with the cooperation of air tanks, the bombs dropped by some planes may not fall on the heads of the devils, but first fall on the heads of their own tanks. There have been three such accidents. So the tankers were warned that every time the planes bombed, the tanks had to stay away.
There is also the cluster bomb, which is very useful against the infantry, but it is very troublesome to deal with, and it takes a little bit to clean up the non-exploding ones.
For this reason, the Vanguard created a bomb disposal brigade to defuse the dangers on the battlefield, including mines.
After Meng Xiang upgraded, there was a training bomb expert in the training center, and Meng Xiang estimated that this was the prototype of those terrorists in the game. Although one also needed 100,000 yuan, Meng Xiang still produced three, and the seemingly cowardly pig warrior became the most suitable candidate.
It seems that the bomb expert can only be a trained bomb professional, and his shooting and combat skills are weak and poor. But the ability to control the bomb is outstanding. Although it is only one stage, it is already possible to control the time and scope of the bomb explosion to a very precise level.
Because the expressions and performances are still lacking, otherwise it is absolutely no problem to be a terrorist. However, Meng Xiang was absolutely reluctant to let such a hundred thousand yuan turn into fireworks with a bang. According to the bomb experts' proficiency in playing bombs, they are also good at bomb disposal, so the bomb disposal brigade has become a new stage for them to display their skills.
Meng Xiang has an ancestor who plays with bombs by his side, and Tanya's bomb level should be two levels higher than that of bomb experts of the same level. Because Meng Xiang doesn't go out much, when he is usually fine, Tanya also goes over to give advice.
"Sister Tan is here!" When Bo Qizhong saw Tanya coming, he leaned over with a smile, but stopped two meters away. Even though he is obsessed with research, he also knows that it is better to stay away from this dangerous foreign beauty.
"Sister Tan, I experimented with another bomb, give it a try?" Bo Qizhong said with a smile, he is also a bomb expert, but the kind of military personnel who specialize in bombs. Cluster bombs were being improved at this time to guarantee more submunitions. But when he learned that the Vanguard had built a new bomb disposal brigade, he came to kick the gym. Brought more than a dozen kinds of bombs of their own whimsical ideas to the bomb disposal brigade, blocked the door, and asked the bomb disposal brigade to defuse the bombs.
On that day, Tanya happened to be present, and all those bombs were dismantled and thrown out, and Bo Qizhong was the last to be thrown.
Bo Qizhong lay in the dormitory for three days, and came back after a week of busy experiments. This time it stumped the three pig warriors, but they were still dismantled by Tanya and thrown out with Bo Qizhong.
Bo Qizhong, who has been defeated many times, is here again today.
"Sister Tan, try again? I ......" Bo Qizhong knew that Tanya could understand and speak Chinese Tian smiled and said that it was a shame for him to easily defuse the bomb he designed, and at the same time it was a spur.
"Bo Qizhong, why did you come here? I've been looking for you for a long time, let's go, let's try again, I made another kind of armor, which is no longer afraid of the corrosion of sulfuric acid, and can definitely block your sulfuric acid bomb. Mao Quanan broke in, picked up Bo Qizhong and was about to leave.
"Sulfuric acid corrosion?" Frank Sico del Bonaroti sneered: "How long does it take for sulfuric acid to corrode thick armor, if there is this time, it has long been killed by a single shot." What is the use of such a bomb? ”
"Who are you?" Bo Qizhong said angrily, these studies are just amateur and Mao Quanan amused, Mao Quanan led a group of people to study armor protection in the weapons research institute, and he led a group of people to study bombs, so the two groups of people got together, one boasted of spear sharpness, the other praised Dunjian, and often came to some gambling competitions. The two of them do not prohibit this method of active thinking, but can get some inspiration from it.
"Frank Scico del Bonarroti, my family's reputation does not allow me to remain silent when I see inappropriate issues!" "My grandfather heard the legend of the dragon's breath and studied acid bombs before Nobel, but he went the wrong way, and he also planned to use strong acid to corrode like you, but unfortunately he failed in the end. Whether stored or used, these strong acids are a disaster. I'm just reminding you! ”
"Science needs to have a spirit of exploration!" Mao Quanan said angrily, so his acid-proof armor would be useless.
"Is there money in your country? Is there a lot of money for you to research? My grandfather almost bankrupted my family back then, and it seems that there are still many people in your country who are starving and cold, and your country is still at war. And when you do military research, what you urgently need on the front line is cheap and practical weapons, not just research for the sake of research, and ultimately waste financial and material resources according to imaginary research. Your country can't afford it! Frank Siko thought of his family with sadness, if it weren't for his grandfather's single-minded surname, which led to the decline of the family, why would he have to be removed from the family because he offended Ziano.
Thanks to the help of Tang Ji, he escaped to Huaxia. With nowhere else to go, he accepted Meng Xiang's offer to help the vanguard army research weapons. But the first weapon turned out to be a change of several anti-tank guns into the form of pistol bursts, which made him a little angry with the young general.
"Even a corbel is broken by the recoil of such a gun." When he saw that the object he wanted to cooperate with was a young and beautiful woman, he felt that he had been fooled, so he coldly mocked Bo Qizhong.
Bo Qizhong's face was slightly red, the vanguard army invited them to provide them with the best experimental instruments, materials, and generous salaries, but the things they studied have not produced any results, but they have experimented with some whimsical things in their minds, and there is definitely a lot of financial and material resources wasted. Even though their research continued without pause, the amateur research was relegated to boring gambling battles.
Just like the bomb he gambled with Tanya, one or two people out of 10,000 devils may not be able to defuse it, and he has to strive for perfection, and he wastes a lot of energy to study this. There is nothing to say in this peacetime, but at this time the national crisis is at hand, and what is urgently needed is guns and ammunition, not his sulfuric acid bombs.
He walked out silently, followed by Mao Quanan, who was a little silent. Today, Frank Sick's words quickly spread, and many scholars who were obsessed with the ivory towers surrounded by the preferential treatment of the vanguard army suddenly sobered up.
"Does your country have money? Your country is still at war! This sentence made people begin to pay attention to the financial problems of the vanguard army that has paid silently for this.
"Many people know that Shandong's finances can't afford the expenses of the vanguard army!" Zhou Bai sighed, "This year's fiscal revenue can only maintain part of the burden of subsistence allowance and education expenses, but military expenditure is far from enough!" ”
Military spending has already exceeded the sum of subsistence allowance and education expenditures, and this is still the time when the SAR is getting better financially.
"The third-quarter fiscal statistics are coming out so soon?" Meng Xiang was also deeply pleased with Zhou Bai's high efficiency.
"It's out! The zone has been stable and has not suffered from war, and a lot of investment from the surrounding area has poured into it, and the economy has grown rapidly. Even if the taxes on land and some other industries have been reduced or reduced, our fiscal revenue this year is expected to be similar to last year. "In 37 years, due to the impact of the devil's oppression, the economy has been greatly affected, and the fiscal revenue is a little chaotic. But the taxes that should be collected, Lao Han Ke has collected them. If it is stronger than last year, it shows that the development of the SEZ is very good, especially to the extent that the national tax on imperial grain such as land and other imperial grains has been abolished.
With the subsistence allowance, the industrial and commercial sectors have lightened their burdens, but at the same time, the taxes have also been appropriately increased, but all kinds of unreasonable and excesses and miscellaneous taxes have been abolished in the special zones, and on the whole, the burden is still small, so there are no big complaints from all walks of life.
However, the increase in taxes, coupled with the Pioneers' control of the dividends from their own industries such as salt and tobacco, offset the financial deficit caused by tax exemptions and subsistence allowances.
"In addition to the fact that the population of the new places is only an estimate, the preliminary population registration has also come out. Now the population of the SAR may reach 30 million. The land area is still being measured, but according to the measurements of previous years, plus the newly cultivated ones, it is estimated that it is less than 70 million mu. More than three-quarters of them are under 10 acres of land. More than 20 million people have registered for self-farming. The number of people receiving subsistence allowances is about 10 million. According to the minimum cost of grain, it also needs 120 yuan a ton, plus subsidies for the old and young military families, nearly 180 million yuan a year, and maybe even 200 million. Zhou Bai kept sighing in his heart, three years of financial revenue could not make up for this hole, not to mention the huge military expenditure. This is also the reason why many people are calculating when the finances of the vanguard army will collapse, and it is also an important reason why others can only stare at the sidelines and cannot follow suit.
"Even if we own more than 6 million mu of land and more than 10 mu of land paid by the heads of households, we can solve most of the subsistence food problems, but we still need 60 million yuan. The government also has to pay for education and other expenses, and the subsistence allowance is not enough. ”
"Don't worry, we still have money!" Facing Zhou Bai's worries, Meng Xiang smiled.
Meng Xiang has read the economic report of the Special Economic Zone, although the salt tax started, but because the roads are not smooth, the transaction volume is less than half of that of previous years, and in previous years, as the bulk of the central government's finance, the customs tariff is not at all.
With the economic development of the SEZs in the future, after the rise of industry and commerce, the tax revenue will be greatly increased, and there will be absolutely no problem in solving the subsistence allowance in a few years.
In the past two years, there is no problem, selling a battleship can solve the lack of subsistence and the cost of education, and there is still a surplus. Seeing that World War II was about to break out, Europe was in a hurry, and the arms trade was the hottest, and a lot of cash was floating in. The only thing that is scarce is probably food.
However, in the areas demarcated by the Brazilian and Argentine exchanges, Meng Xiang has received general information that if there are enough people, 30 million acres of arable land can be cleared in three years. The problem of subsistence allowance can be solved.
Don't worry about it this year, there is already food in place. The grain collected in the summer before the implementation of the subsistence allowance, plus the grain traded with Brazilians and Argentines, had no problem maintaining it until the end of the year.
Military salaries and management expenses are also borne by the Taiping Bank's continuous metal military bills, and the expenditure on weapons does not need to be paid at all, directly from the base, and the free minerals in various places are a lot of money as long as they are mined, and they can also be provided to the society through the refining center.
The only thing worth thinking about is the issue of oil.
With a large number of tanks, planes, trucks and the footboard in service, the shortage of fuel was once again placed in front of Meng Xiang.
The British and American companies colluded with Yue himself, and the oil supply of the vanguard army was stuck. The vanguard army can only rely on the coal oil of the base, but the mining vehicles also have to supply the power field and the mining plant, and the output of one day is limited, and it takes many days to accumulate enough fuel to launch a campaign, and when it is in urgent need, it is also directly purchased from the base at a high price.
This is also one of the reasons why Meng Xiang has no intention of attacking. I can't afford to consume oil!
"Exploit an oil field?" Meng Xiang suddenly thought of the Shengli Oilfield in Dongying and the Zhongyuan Oilfield on the border between Southwest Lu and Henan, but as soon as the oil well was erected, the devils immediately smelled the fishy smell and rushed over, and there were definitely more than eight divisions and regiments when the time came. Increasing the number of mining vehicles and refining centers, I am afraid that the star value will not be enough, which will affect the production of other buildings.
"It would be nice if the oil fields from the Middle East base were moved here!" Meng Xiang couldn't help but think of the Middle East sub-base that he had not paid attention to for a long time.
"Aladdin, you coward who colluded with the British! You will be punished by Allah! Abdullah shouted loudly.
"Kill him!" Aladdin said coldly.
"These are those who have disobeyed the will of Allah, and they will all be killed!" Aladdin said with a wave of his hand.
Soon, dozens of gunshots rang out behind him.
