Volume 5 Heavy Tree History Chapter 822 Defense Budget
Ulan Tuya was brought up by his master since he was a child, and his respect for his master naturally came from his bones, and in his opinion, the master was a genius who was well-versed in the past and the present. But such a genius said this before he died, how could she accept it. Ulan Tuya cried: "The baby is innocent, he will not defeat his father and mother, no, he will not ......"
Wang Maoru said: "I don't believe it either, it's all fake, it's all fake, Master Nalan lied to me." โ
Ulan Tuya immediately said: "The master's calculation is the most powerful, the master will never ......" Ulan Tuya, who was about to refute, suddenly couldn't speak at this time, if the master's prophecy is accurate, then the child is the father and mother, but if the master is not allowed, then everything she has always believed in will collapse. The master's words can't be wrong, she has always thought so. Ulan Tuya was conflicted, and finally cried bitterly, she didn't know whether to believe the master's words, this is a confrontation of faith and emotion in her heart, how not to let her suffer. Ulan Tuya's sisters also went home one after another, and the only one who accompanied her was the fifth sister who lived in Beijing, who was also Gao Shibin's wife, and she smiled bitterly from Wang Maoru, and Wang Maoru could only shake her head.
Wang Maoru sighed, to be honest, he really didn't want to believe Nalan Haisheng's words, but his words kept circling around his mind like a curse, making him sleep. It was reluctant to believe in such superstitions, and felt as if it were providential. From an atheistic point of view, these seem to be all fallacies. But another explanation is, how did Wang Maoru come to this world? If Wang Maoru is an ordinary person. Living in the 21st century, a fortune teller said to him, "Your child is a father and a mother." "Wang Maoru will definitely smoke the melon seeds with big ears, you are a talented person, your father and mother, and your whole family will be your father and mother.
But. Wang Maoru's process of coming to this world was a coincidence, and even his coming to this world itself was full of contradictions, he didn't even know how he came here like this, what was the voice in the dark. He gradually began to deny his worldview as an atheist, and the world should be dominated by a master...... But why did the ruler of the world treat China so cruelly, so that the hearts of the people in the land of China are not ancient, and everyone is mercenary, should China be punished by the gods?
Perhaps. Because the atheistic tone of the Bolsheviks ruled for half a century, or because of this, all the gods abandoned China.
Wang Maoru knocked on his head. He didn't know what he was thinking, but he finally let out a long sigh, and both husband and wife had no idea.
"Now the child is still young, so be it. Let's see. Wang Mao said with the following conclusion. Ulan Tuya naturally didn't want the child to leave his side, so he quickly nodded and agreed.
However, a subsequent incident made Wang Maoru very uncomfortable, and Fang Hongxin of the Ministry of Finance also raised his own objections to Wang Maoru's "White Paper on the National Defense Budget for the Year of Renxu", although he and Wang Maoru had been friends for many years, but he objected to the budget of the National Defense Force. Fang Hongxin did not refute Wang Maoru in the government, but directly said that Wang Maoru was waiting for him at home, and compressed the 180 million budget in the "White Paper" one by one. Originally, Zhao Jiacheng proposed a huge amount of 300 million, so he would have proposed 300 million if he knew it. The province has been compressed everywhere, so that his own person Fang Hongxin has to be compressed.
Wang Maoru originally thought that Fang Hongxin would definitely support him in investing the central government in the national defense budget. But Fang Hongxin is not only Wang Maoru's comrade-in-arms, he is also the country's chief financial officer, he is not only responsible for the military's financial revenue, he is also responsible for the national state. Therefore, even though they are friends, it is also on this issue that Fang Hongxin rarely stands on the opposite side of Wang Maoru.
Wang Maoru was angry and pointed at Fang Hongxin and said angrily: "National defense is unstable, the country is worried, you are a disaster to the country and the people!" โ
Fang Hongxin said helplessly: "If it is all transferred to the military, there is not much left of other government departments, how will the country move forward this year?" Xiushuai, the development of the country should not only look at national defense, but also focus on the national society. โ
Wang Maoru said: "What if there is a war between China and Japan? What if there is a war between China and Russia? โ
Fang Hongxin said: "There is absolutely no possibility of war between China and Japan, and a war between China and Russia is also a small-scale regional conflict, and I don't think there is a need for so much money." โ
Wang Maoru said angrily: "You mean, I'm embezzling state funds? โ
Fang Hongxin smiled bitterly: "How can I not know how handsome is going on, the country is struggling to move forward, you take out your own money to pay for the country, how can you be a person who embezzles state funds." Anyone who says that, I won't believe it. He said bitterly: "The military budget of 180 trillion yuan is really too much, and now that the infrastructure construction of military industrial enterprises has been almost completed, there is no need for so much capital investment, and the military budget and military salary are only 80 million a year, so why is it so much?" It would be better if the money needed by the government was put on domestic construction. I support Sun Liwen's construction of the Northeast Iron and Steel Plant because it is for the country and the people, and I do not support his financial support for the Hanyang Iron and Steel Plant because I am afraid of the waste and prevarication of the public-owned factory. He said: "Military spending now accounts for 40 percent of the central government's regular budget, and even far exceeds 40 percent of fiscal revenue." It should be noted that at the peak of the Beiyang government, military spending accounted for only 44 percent of fiscal revenue, but it was a time of war and chaos in the whole country, not a time of peace. โ
Wang Maoru said: "What is the total budget of the central government this year? โ
"Five hundred million." Fang Hongxin looked at the accounts and said, "The Ministry of Finance's estimate is that the eleventh year of the Republic of China is the third year of Xiushuai's unification of China (the ninth year of the Republic of China has been actually unified, and the tenth year of the Republic of China has been nominally unified), and China's fiscal revenue in the tenth year of the Republic of China has increased by about 90 million compared with the time of reunification last year. โ
Wang Maoru immediately said: "Okay, since you said that the Beiyang government occupies 44 percent of its military spending a year, I will be lower than him, I only need 36 percent, you can calculate it." โ
Fang Hongxin immediately calculated it and said, "One hundred and eighty million silver dollars." โ
Wang Maoru nodded and said: "Yes, Zicheng, this is my bottom line, my bottom line, the national defense budget cannot be less than 36 percent." โ
Fang Hongxin said with a wry smile: "It is reported that Japan's national defense budget only accounts for 17 percent of the government budget. โ
Wang Maoru said: "Japan's national infrastructure construction has been completed, and China's infrastructure construction has just begun, how can it be generalized. โ
Fang Hongxin smiled bitterly, and when he saw Wang Maoru's insistence, he said helplessly: "Okay, since that's the case, let's take thirty-six percent." Then he smiled and said, "Xiushuai, you have to understand my qiฤ." โ
Wang Maoru said: "Let's quarrel and quarrel, but it's a matter of facts, but arguing with you makes me feel very uncomfortable." โ
Fang Hongxin said: "If you don't know the price of firewood and rice, one day you will be the president, this 36% estimate is reluctant to give, and this government is enough to make way for you." โ
Wang Maoru nodded and said: "I know this, but a strong national military is a necessary guarantee for the stability of the country." โ
Fang Hongxin said with a smile: "I thought the Ministry of Defense would propose a military budget of 300 million. โ
"Why?" Wang Maoru was taken aback, Zhao Jiacheng really proposed it, but he vetoed it.
Fang Hongxin said: "In order to squeeze the financial control of the president, let all his new policies be invalidated, and hit the opponent without thinking that Xiushuai did not do anything to Sun Liwen." โ
Wang Maoru said with a smile: "Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, now the two sides are in the honeymoon period." โ
Fang Hongxin was stunned for a moment, and then laughed thoughtfully, since there is a honeymoon period, there will be a conflict period, in fact, many northern officials originally belonged to Wang Maoru on the surface and secretly opposed it, but after Wang Maoru pushed Sun Liwen and the Kuomintang out as the president, these northern officials pointed the contradiction to the Kuomintang instead. Therefore, when Wang Maoru leads the military to oppose the Kuomintang in the future, it must be a big outbreak, and he deeply feels the destructive power brought about by this outbreak.
Wang Maoru is also waiting, he is gradually digesting, it is certainly okay to overthrow Sun Liwen, but more importantly, how to eliminate other opponents after overthrowing Sun Liwen, which is also one of the reasons why Wang Maoru is unwilling to sit on that wรจizhรฌ immediately.
After establishing the proportion of the national defense budget, Wang Maoru once again returned to the Ministry of Defense to discuss with everyone, and Zhao Jiacheng, director of the financial department of the logistics headquarters, said angrily: "This Fang Hongxin is still not our person?" Or are they not our people? โ
"Hehe, understand each other." Wang Maoru persuaded.
In the end, after some discussion, everyone agreed on the proportion of the defense budget of 36%, because as the country becomes more and more stable, China is bound to enter a golden development cycle, and fiscal spending will definitely increase significantly. Later, in the name of the Ministry of National Defense, Wang Maoru proposed a motion to President Sun Liwen on the demand for the proportion of the national defense budget in 36 percent of the state financial expenditure, and Sun Liwen agreed in principle and submitted it to the National Assembly, which sent the bill. Since then, the proportion of the defense budget has been set at 36 percent, which is also the highest of all peaceful countries. The military is so strong that Sun Liwen and the KMT think tank think that it is good enough to snatch the remaining 64% of the fiscal spending. However, when Fang Hongxin handed over the summary table of fiscal expenditures to Sun Liwen, Sun Liwen was very depressed, because China's various reparations in modern times accounted for 24% of the fiscal expenditures, which greatly discounted his plan to revitalize China. Nearly half of the state repayments were repaid to the Japanese government, such as the reparations for the defeat of the First Sino-Japanese War, the ransom of the Shandong Railway, the ransom of the Northeast Railway, the loans of the Beiyang government, and the large loans of the Wehrmacht to Japan, and the other half were the Wehrmacht's large loans to the United States.
It can be said that even though the Republic of China is unified, it still has internal and external troubles, and Wang Maoru has created a peaceful environment for the people, but it is far from achieving a comfortable environment. But this point also makes the people grateful, which shows that the Chinese people are really pitiful.
