Each province has a scale of 22,000 people.

According to the new military expenditure adjustment policy, the patrol army expenditure will be shared by each province, and each province will allocate funds to the army headquarters. The total military expenditure of the army will be maintained at a scale of 420 million yuan per year in the next five years, and the navy will be 200 million yuan per year.

The Air Force has 75 million yuan.

Compared with the total size of the army of 2.75 million, the average cost is that the actual military expenditure per person per year is only 152 yuan. Even if the Empire adopts the conscript system, such expenditure is still not enough to support the Imperial Army's revolutionary development plan.

Especially considering that the army will go through a higher stage of development in the next five years and a large amount of equipment costs, the funding problem will inevitably make Song Biao feel a headache. The total military expenditure of the Imperial ** unit is about 70 million pounds, about

Account for 10% of the national fiscal expenditure, while military expenditure accounts for 18% of the central government's fiscal expenditure. This was the condition that he and Ouyang Geng had agreed very early. In fact, if you think about it carefully, it is definitely not enough, but for the central cabinet government

In other words, this is indeed a relatively appropriate degree. After all, the war has just ended, and the empire is facing a good development opportunity and needs more expenditure to maintain the comprehensive development of economy, education and technology.

Compared to the military expenditure issue, Cai E and Jiang Fangzhen were more surprised. They never expected that the emperor would actually implement a comprehensive reform of the Imperial Army. Although in the general direction, they also felt that it was the general trend, but this range was a step forward.

It's too big, even the two of them who are determined to reform can't stand it.

Shortly after Song Biao fought back the new third-phase army plan, Jiang Fangzhen, Cai E and Shu Fangde came together to ask for an audience. Han Chunlin meant the premise of reporting, come again tomorrow, and the three people fought

He was the emperor's confidant and direct descendant, and he was all considered Han Chunlin's superior, which made Han Chunlin so bloody that he forced Han Chunlin to report.

At this time, Song Biao and the Queen were accompanying Shufei to relax in the imperial garden. The style thunders joined hands with several rockery masters from Jiangsu and Zhejiang to build a rockery that is the best in the imperial garden. It covers an area of ​​nearly one acre

The combination of the land, rockery, bamboo forests, and streams is a combination of false and imaginative.

The children were also visiting nearby, quite excited.

The whole family likes this place very much.

Han Chunlin just gritted his teeth and found the emperor to report, saying that the three powerful figures from the Army Department were clamoring to see the emperor.

After hearing Han Chunlin's words, Shu Xuan sighed with dissatisfaction: "It's the three of them that are the most unruly!"

This is really true.

Song Biao knew the purpose of these three people, so he ordered Han Chunlin: "Let them come back tonight. I don't plan to handle official duties today. Let them go back and think about it carefully before you can tell them clearly. You can also explain it clearly to them. You should always consider everything.

In the long run, Marshal Foch said that the Versailles contract is not a real contract. It is just a twenty-year armistice agreement, which I think is true.”

Han Chunlin silently said yes, and then turned around and left the Imperial Garden.

When he left, Shu Xuan sighed to Song Biao: "It seems that the emperor has something big to do again!"

Song Biao thought for a while and replied, "Things are always big things. It's just not urgent. They are anxious, so the emperor is not anxious, so the eunuch is anxious!"

Shu Xuan laughed intriguedly and said, "How many people can take the weight like the emperor? But to put it, I heard that the emperor is going to choose a new concubine recently."

Song Biao knew she would definitely ask about this matter. He immediately replied righteously: "After all, we must consider the long-term and stabilize the frontier. It is expected that one or two young girls from religious families will be selected from the Kyrgyz Ministry. If so, in the future

If you have children, you will definitely have a great place to use your skills when you grow older. Isn’t this the case for the royal family? What you are most worried about now is not civil strife, but the unstable frontiers, but there are too many border areas in the empire.

.”

Shu Xuan had nothing to say and replied: "Yes, there are enough borders here. In previous years, I thought Xinjiang and Outer Mongolia were borders. I don't know how far it felt, as if it was far away from Britain and France.

Now, even Xinjiang and the four northern provinces are considered inland areas. This is because the emperor's achievements are extraordinary, and it has never been seen since ancient times."

Song Biao answered without comment: "Maybe!"

That afternoon, Song Biao did not meet Jiang Fangzhen and the others, nor did he deal with other things. He just went to the Imperial Garden to play with his family, and planned to continue to play in Zhenguo Temple and Longtan Valley tomorrow.

After dinner at night, Song Biao summoned Jiang Fangzhen, Shu Fangde and Cai E in the imperial study room. When they entered the imperial study room, Song Biao said to Cai E before Jiang Fangzhen spoke, "Your portion."

The plan was a bit hasty, so I will inevitably need to modify it more. If I still have to be responsible for such things in the future, I will always have to use more thoughts."

Cai E hurriedly apologized and said, "My ministers have neglected their duties, so please forgive me."

Song Biao didn't take it very seriously and said, "You'll be forgiven for your crimes, just sit down. I know that you came to me in the afternoon, but there are only two problems. One is that the change is too great and you are afraid of making mistakes, and the other is that you are spending military expenses.

It is obviously not enough to support such a big change."

As he said this, Song Biao also sat down on the dragon couch, let Cai E and the other two sit beside him to discuss the matter together, and continued: "A few months ago, let you summarize the pros and cons of the Sino-Soviet War, you

The summary is still very good. It is said that the army's mechanization is the general trend. I think the word mechanization is good. Mechanization alone is not enough. The key is a big word. The empire and the Soviet Union have a deep relationship, so it is not allowed.

Not prepared, so you must be brave enough to move forward in the army and not be complacent."

Jiang Fangzhen immediately replied: "The emperor is wise, but his subordinates think that the army reform requested by the emperor is probably too hasty. Moreover, it is a great victory now, and everyone is waiting for the emperor to reward him happily. Who would have thought that the war would come to this place as soon as it ended.

The massive layoffs and cavalry almost canceled most of them. Although the addition of new mechanized troops is the general trend, the emperor, whether we are too eager to advance, there may be insufficient preparations in all aspects."

Song Biao was very unhappy and said, "It is normal for inadequate preparation. If there is any problem, it will be solved continuously in the process of development. Of course, there will be no problem if you stay in the past forever. The Army should not think that after winning so many major battles in a row,

You can rely on the book of fame and fortune to eat, drink and wait for death. The era of great change in the army has arrived. It is based on this world war as the clarion call. It only opened a new prelude to the army era, rather than the death knell of the complete cessation of the world war and the suspension of reforms.

And follow the pace of the times. Then you can beat me the funeral knell every day. The army must reform, and there are no difficulties, and there are even more difficulties. If there are problems, find ways to solve the problem. If there are insufficient funds, find ways to save military expenditure. For five years

If you can't finish it, try to finish it for seven years. If anyone wants to sleep on yesterday's credit book and eat and drink, wait for death, get out of the army now."

Hearing the emperor's anger, Jiang Fangzhen, Cai E and Shu Fangde didn't dare to speak anymore.

Song Biao also drank half a cup of tea in silence, and after a moment, he asked, "Do you have anything else to add?"

Jiang Fangzhen dared not add, and replied: "No more... I just think that such changes are always too fast, and some troubles will occur."

Song Biao asked, "If there is no trouble to deal with, what do you have to do? Do you drink tea and play cards in the office every day?"

have to!

Jiang Fangzhen regretted coming with Cai E. He originally said that we would like to make up for the emperor's new intention. As a result, Cai E forced him to come over. In fact, Cai E's mind was not very simple, the imperial cavalry was about

It was really hard for him to accept that the empire's contribution was so high that it was suddenly cut off by 70%.

The most unfair thing belongs to Shu Fangde. He was already an Air Force minister, but was pulled over by Cai E and Jiang Fangzhen, and was criticized by the emperor for no reason.

Shu Fangde was also a smart person, and immediately changed his words and suggested to the emperor: "Your Majesty, my servants came here because they were worried about the insufficient military expenditure of the Air Force. Now the Air Force plans to be large and spend less. We also need to control the Aviation Administration,

No matter how you think the Aviation Administration is, you only lose money but not earn money. The Air Force’s annual military expenditure of 70 million is probably really insufficient."

Song Biao nodded slightly and said, "I have considered this matter, but in general, it is not as good as the lack of military expenditure in the army. You don't have to complain. The matter is not that serious yet. Increase revenue and reduce expenditure. As the Minister of the Air Force

Of course, you should think of more solutions. Revitalizing and developing the aviation industry is not your business. You can communicate more with the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Transport."

Shu Fangde immediately replied: "The emperor is wise, and the ministers understand in their hearts that they will definitely live up to the emperor's trust."

He did not expect that the emperor would be so strict about the matters on the army. He would just suppress their conservative mentality. He immediately ran out of the small camp of Cai E's alliance and let Cai E and Jiang Fangzhen regret it.

Although he was scolded, Cai E was still unhappy. He was not afraid of trouble, nor was he afraid of the emperor scolding him. He endured it and felt that he couldn't help it. He continued to advise the emperor: "The Emperor."

, The ministers are not afraid of something, they are not afraid of trouble, nor are they afraid of insufficient funds. No matter how difficult it is, as long as it is for the empire and the emperor, the country and the nation, the ministers should also sacrifice their lives and shed their blood. However, the emperor cut off 70% of the cavalry troops with one knife.

The organization is a disappointment to the ministers. When I think back then, the emperor's words are still in my ears. When the emperor said in person, my empire should put cavalry first in order to stabilize the territory."

Song Biao said: "Yes, I said this, and now I think so. After all, cavalry is much cheaper than tank troops, suitable for various complex situations in the north and the west, so the cavalry must be delegated to the patrol army.

Not all of them are cancelled. You must understand that the empire is not afraid of civil strife now, there are only two major concerns: one is the frontier and division, and the other is the large-scale invasion of foreign enemies. The empire is becoming stronger and the small enemies dare not peek, but if so

When a great enemy is in front of a group, or if several countries jointly invade, it means millions, or even tens of millions of troops will win the final victory and defeat in the first battle. Therefore, the Central Army of the Imperial Army and the patrol troops of each province must have a clear division of labor.

Military operations of local civil strife and border division must be handed over to the Patrol Army, and the CSR's goal is to resist foreign enemies and safeguard the Empire's rights and interests overseas. From this perspective, the Empire must handle the transfer of main forces such as patrol Army and cavalry to

The patrol army is the best way, and the finances of each province are becoming increasingly abundant and the central government is relatively tight. The expenditures of the patrol army have always been half the expenses of the local government and the central government, which is also a very important thing for saving and rational use of military spending."

Cai E said: "Emperor, my subordinates think that even if the cavalry is to be discharged from the patrol army, it should be carried out step by step to avoid the hearts of the soldiers. After all, the treatment of the Central Army and the local patrol army is a little different, and the social status is also different.

It's very big, which soldier doesn't want to stay in the CSKA?"

Song Biao thought for a while and said, "What you said is also the truth, but you have to understand that there is never a perfect thing in this world. Either the hearts of soldiers or the hearts of the people, you always want to

Choose one of two. I understand your feelings for the cavalry, but neither you nor I can reverse the general trend of world military development. Blindly expect to confront the world trend, we will eventually have to pay a very tragic price, or even the country will be destroyed.

The family is destroyed. These things are settled, so don't argue anymore. The Army Department and the General Staff should consider not to force me to choose to give in, nor to play tricks of lip service for me, but to handle the matter properly and appease those

The troops that have been deposed should be reasonable and put facts in place, and adjust the matter under a stable morale."

Cai E wanted to persuade him again, but Jiang Fangzhen hurriedly said: "The emperor is wise and wise, but his ministers are ignorant and ignorant. He will definitely live up to the emperor's entrustedness and responsibilities of his ministers."

Song Biao is actually very impatient. If there is any difficulty, he can discuss it together. If there is not enough military expenditure to deal with these tasks, he can find a way to solve them together.

He was surprised to feel strangely angry that the big trend was right in front of him and was unstoppable, but for this kind of interests, he refused to reform.

Jiang Fangzhen and the other two dared not delay here anymore. Seeing that the situation was not good, they hurriedly withdrew from the imperial study room. The three of them returned to the military headquarters to discuss countermeasures. The emperor's intentions were already too firm and there was no way to defend themselves. Now,

It can only be done according to the emperor's wishes.

Both Jiang Fangzhen and Cai E originally thought that the army was different from the air force and the navy, and they were already formed. They were based on the world's top level and did not require too many new plans. As long as they maintain their current state, they were the biggest task, so they took it lightly.

, I simply wrote a three-phase plan to deal with the situation.

Who would have thought that this was the case? It really surprised both of them.

Now things are impossible to change, so I can only grit my teeth and re-program the third five-year plan on a large scale according to the emperor's wishes. This will be a big job. The emperor only spent two days weighing the overall situation and making a move.

The general goal is troublesome in detail.

There are so many major changes, which troops are level one, which troops are level two, how to place the old soldiers system for abolition, how to select the new soldiers system, what equipment should be selected, how to control military expenditures, so that the task can be completed and the troops will be removed from patrol defense

How to arrange the various troops of the army, which brigade goes to which province, and various factors and issues must be considered.

There is another even more annoying question in the General Staff, which is how to improve combat effectiveness, how to adapt the details, how to design training subjects, how to adjust equipment, and how to achieve it within the military expenditure allowance.

With the greatest value of combat power, how can we ensure the unity of combat ideas and tactics?

Military is a science and an art, and the details are all about mathematics...)
