Chapter 929: Everything Brought by Oil (7)
Even military personnel are inherently unlikely to refuse moneyββββββ provided that it is obtained through legitimate means.
Of course, most people don't really care how money comes from, as long as you can see from the warlords and warlords in history. Naturally, for these people, there are actually many people who feel that they are not soldiers.
As for what a real soldier looks like, it's hard to say.
The so-called soldiers, some of the words spoken by the officials, are the names of the military personnel who serve in the national army, including combatants and officers, similar to the ancient samurai and knights. Its duties are to defend national security, defend and guard the national borders, stabilize government power, and social stability, and sometimes participate in non-combat work including disaster relief.
From these perspectives, it seems that the military should be considered a class with a halo bonus, at least on the surface, it is a relatively great class.
But in fact, in history, soldiers have definitely spent more time doing evil than they have done good. Especially for many soldiers, these soldiers are almost a disaster when they are not restrained, whether in the East or in the West.
Although on the surface the East has the largest number of warlords and the most frequent cases of plague against the people, in fact in the West, warlords have also plagued the people. At least after the end of the First World War, many warlords sprang up in Europe.
It's just that at that time, there were still many other relatively stable countries in Europe, such as Britain and France. For these countries, this kind of chaos is definitely not something they appreciate, so it is easy for Europe to return to calm.
But the Asian region. However, because of many relationships, the director has always been relatively chaotic in modern history.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββ
No, I'm afraid it can't be described as chaotic, but it should be very chaotic.
Whether it is in China or in the deep mountains and forests of Southeast Asia, there has never been such a thing as a warlord.
It is also because of these reasons that it is in history textbooks. The Asian region has a sense of warlordism. Of course, this does not mean that there are no politically stable countries in Asia, at least Japan is relatively stable.
However, the situation in Asia can also be said to be very complicated. First of all, it was full of colonies of various countries, and it was unlikely that Japan would act rashly considering the interests of the great powers.
Secondly. Japan itself would like to start some wars. In this case, how could the Japanese take the initiative to help other countries in Asia become stableββββββ even if they did do so one day in the future, it is probably because that country has been conquered by them, so they will be like this...
After all, since it is a region that has already been conquered, it is natural to do whatever you want...
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
So, although on the surface it seems like a great profession, it is difficult to say what exactly is a soldier. The army of later generations can naturally be called a model of soldiers. But there is almost no doubt that an unrestrained army is an absolute disaster.
This is especially important. Even if they are very good on the surface at home, they cannot change the nature of their violent machines when they are abroad.
Not to mention anything else, in the later counterattack against Vietnam, in fact, the army at that time also implemented a policy similar to Sanguang. Even a bicycle has to be run over by a tank, and a lot of mines have been planted around some factories or mines.
It is conceivable that the violent machine is a violent machine after all, of course, this also shows how much the army hated the Vietnamese at that timeββββββ but it is not surprising that it will be so, when the army entered Vietnam at the beginning, it was indeed thinking about the military and civilian fish and water situation, after all, the country has always been talking about this!
But in reality, it is completely different from what they think.
With a bullet in the back, this situation can be said to happen quite often. Even a very ordinary Vietnamese woman could pull an AK out of a rice field and shoot it in the back, so it's no wonder that even the army went on such a rampage.
However, this also shows that no matter how much halo it wears, the army is an army after all, and it is still essentially a violent organ, and it can even be said to be the most powerful violent organ in the world.
What love, white dove or whatever, is not at all suitable for them,
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
Since soldiers are also people, then what everyone will love, soldiers will naturally like the same, just like everyone loves money.
Similarly, as long as it is money, I believe that the vast majority of soldiers, whether it is legal or illegal, will also prefer it.
It's just that at this stage, due to the relationship between the Ministry of Integrity and Integrity, the search for this kind of thing has been very strict, which also makes it difficult for soldiers to have a place to make moneyββββββ not to mention anything else, the military salary, especially the situation of eating empty pay and drinking soldiers' blood, is definitely not going to happen. At least in modern countries, this is very difficult to happen.
As for those who embezzled from the soldiers' meals? This amount of money, to be honest, is really not necessary to be corrupt.
As for armament? These things are all registered, and there is no possibility of selling them privately, not to mention that even if you plan to sell them, who will dare to buy them, after all, these are all weapons and equipment of the army, and they all have the marks of the army on them, as long as they are caught, they can't run away from buying or selling.
There is no additional income, and the income is so small in essence, to be honest, it is no wonder that the soldiers complain. After all, even if it is to protect the family and defend the country, at least let them be fed. Isn't it?
Naturally, there is absolutely no problem with the level of salaries of the Wehrmacht at this stage, let alone a full meal. Its income is already at least one step higher than that of ordinary people. But the fact that income has not increased for seven consecutive years is indeed excessive, and it is no wonder that the army is so complaining.
After all, no matter how high the income is, it is impossible for them not to feel calm when they see other people's incomes continue to rise, while their own income has always been maintained at the current level, and there is no sign of even moving a little.
And then. As mentioned earlier, in this way, there will naturally be complaints.
It's just that the current income of the army is still the highest paid among ordinary jobs. So although there must be some resentment, at least the resentment on the part of the army is still within certain limits, but ββββββ if one day in the future, even the wages of ordinary workers will reach the level of the army. Or even beyond. And if the salary level of the army is still the same, then I am afraid that no one will be able to stop the anger of the army.
This mistake was not in the army, but in Yan Shao, because Yan Shao at that time, in order to encompass the army, he lowered the salary of the original new army from 7 to 10, and as a result, because of the expansion of the army, more than 2 million troops occupied a considerable part of the finances of the national government, and the government did not have the ability to support the military salaries of so many people. There is no way to raise the salaries of these people.
But now it's different ...
ββββββββββββββββββββββββ
"It's different now." Tapping lightly on the position of the table, Yan Shao looked at the people present. He spoke softly. "At present, because of the relationship with Kuwait, the government has a very large amount of additional revenue, considering that in the Kuwaiti region, the government still has a considerable part of the oil fields that have not been developed, as long as it is developed, the government's finances will soon reach the point of being comparable to the British and American, and it is far healthier than them, after all, a very large part of our income is income, and it is income that does not require any cost and price, compared with the British and the Americans, it is not so generous."
Therefore, we can not only provide free meals to students all over the country, but even find a way to move the issue of military salaries, which has been suspended for a long time, to at least raise the salary level of military personnel again and appease the restlessness of the army.
If the previous mention of yì will not be objected to, then this mention of yì is naturally even less likely to be objected.
This is not only because the current salary level of the army has stopped for such a long time, and it is indeed time to move the position, but also because the power of the army can be said to be very large within the government.
You must know that because of the European war, Yan Shao's current status can be said to be in full swing.
But under Yan Shao, it was not Li Liang, the prime minister of the country, but Jiang Baili and Cai Yi.
To be more precise, the prestige of these two people in China is second only to Yan Shao, and the reason why this is the case is entirely because of the achievements of the two in Europe.
In addition to these two people, there were also a series of generals who became famous in Europe, and these generals all had relatively high prestige, and correspondingly, there would inevitably be a relatively large gap in prestige in the civil service system within the government.
It is also for this reason that although the military usually does not have much say within the government, in fact, in the vast majority of cases, the position of the military is not so weak and deceitful, at least much stronger than most departments.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
Increasing wages, this can be said to be something that the vast majority of soldiers have been looking forward to for a long time, and if someone jumps out to oppose it at this time, they will definitely be hated by the soldiers.
Considering the current status of military personnel within the government, jumping out and vetoing it at this time is tantamount to offending more than 2 million military personnel.
As for the increase in the pension, it is naturally even more unlikely to object, after all, it is a matter of course. The most important point is that those soldiers have won a lot of benefits for the government, and it seems a little too unreasonable to let them continue to dedicate themselves in this situation.
Seeing that the important tasks in the venue seemed to be in agreement, Yan Shao nodded slightly.
At the same time, after glancing at Yan Shao, Jiang Baili sighed slightly in his heart.
"Those people are still too naΓ―ve, after all. I really thought that the president's status would be affected because of this incident, but I didn't know that the president was still very sensible, and the most important thing was that he was very clear. What exactly should I grasp the most in this situation..."Thinking of this, Jiang Baili couldn't help but glance at Yan Shao, who was talking about something there, and continued in his heart. "The barrel of the gun, the power comes out of the barrel of the gun, this sentence can be said to be one of the most truthful words of the president, no matter when, only the barrel of the gun is tightly held. It is equivalent to ensuring the stability of the position, even at such a time, even if his position is already very stable. The President has not forgotten this. And as long as he has the support of the military, whoever wants to do something, the president doesn't have to worry. Because there is still a large army under his command that can be used. And as long as these armies remain in the hands of the president, it is useless for anyone to oppose him, because these armies can easily defeat the vast majority of the enemy..."
That's right, even now Yan Shao is very clear about one thing, that is, the importance of the army.
At the same time, he was well aware that, despite the fact that the Communist government had been in place for many years, the evidence seemed to have stabilized. But in fact, the current national government is still very fragile, and even the slightest change may lead to a scene like the sky falling apart. Therefore, Yan Shao must hold the armed forces in his hands tightly, only in this way. No matter what happens, Yan Shaocai has a way to deal with it, even if someone really intends to oppose Yan Shao, with the armed forces in his hands alone, Yan Shao can deal with almost all the troubles...
It's just that for Yan Shao, if such a situation can not appear, it is definitely better not to appear...
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
In fact, the reason why so many people are so gloating is because this incident will affect Yan Shao's influence on the army from a certain point of viewββββββ although this matter seems to be nothing, but if the soldiers find that the commander they have always trusted deeply has actually been using themselves, exchanging their lives and blood for some black liquid, it is difficult to say that these soldiers will continue to maintain respect and awe for Yan Shao.
And when the army is also non-stop Yan Shao, it is estimated that it will not be far from Yan Shao's resignation.
Naturally, they also hoped that Yan Shao would be confused by the current situation, such as a deep belief that his influence was unique in this country, and no one could surpass him
However, Yan Shao is still very sober, at least he knows very well that his influence is not yet big enough to rule the country forever. And even if he really has such influence and power, the gun must not be put down.
It is particularly important that anything that might affect one's influence on the military must be stifled in the shortest possible time.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
After all, no one would want to be desired by the more than two million Wehrmacht, so Yan Shao's proposal was quickly approved, along with the plan to increase the pension, as well as the free three meals mentioned earlier.
Naturally, in addition to these, the government has a large number of measures to introduce. After all, not every policy is likely to bring benefits or benefits, at least many policies, if not done well, will lead to disasters or troublesββββββ even if it is just some inconspicuous troubles, it is trouble after all.
Just like the free stationery I said earlier, who will cherish the things that come for nothing?
At least Yan Shao felt that he definitely wouldn't, and similarly, compared to a considerable number of students, he wouldn't cherish it, because these things were too easy to come by.
And if such a policy is really implemented, then it is completely conceivable that in the coming period, there will be almost a huge amount of resources wasted, which is definitely a very big loss for the national government, after all, the current national government is not the United States of the future.
In later generations, the United States, relying on the dominant position of the dollar, could print the dollar at will.
But this is not the case in China, where oil, while important, at least for now, is not important enough to have a global impact. Obviously, China has not yet mastered the world's oil resources, and the oil resources of Mexico and the United States, at least at this stage, seem to have higher production capacity than China, and even more than twice that of China.
In this way, even if there is really any country that can control oil, this country is definitely not China...
Therefore, what China needs now is to economize, not to act recklessly...
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
At a time when the people's grievances were growing stronger, especially in some of the troops, the several policies promulgated by the Nationalist Government almost in a very short time eliminated the grievances of the people and the army, and at the same time made them understand that the sacrifices they had made in this war were not meaningless...
And these are the projects that Yan Shao proposed not long ago. (To be continued......)
