.Leaving the head of state, Lu Fenglie did not return to the General Staff, but sent Huang Zhibo to the airport.

"General Lu, the attitude of the head of state..."

"You can see it too?"

Huang Zhibo nodded and then sighed. Before this, Fu Xiubo was very tough and refused to compromise at all, but now he showed the intention of compromising with the United States. This forced Huang Zhibo to worry. After all, Fu Xiubo was the head of state, and his attitude was enough to determine the direction of the war.

"This time, it was not me who asked you to come back, but the head of state asked you to come back."

Huang Zhibo frowned and looked at Lu Fenglie.

"Yesterday, the head of state held a high-level meeting to discuss the impact of war on the national economy."

“What impact?”

Feng Lie smiled and said, "I am a soldier like you. How can I understand those economic issues?"

"But……"

"The problem is very serious." Lu Fenglie sighed and said, "It can be said that we can persevere until now, but it has not led to serious domestic problems, which has a lot to do with the results achieved by the volunteers. To put it simply, at least most people believe that we can win this war. The confidence and hope for victory have covered many problems, but they have not fundamentally solved these problems."

"for example……"

"To put it bluntly, it's the money issue."

Huang Zhibo frowned. He must have to spend money to fight, and there is nothing to say.

"Before we decided to join the war, our biggest problem was that we had no money. To be precise, this war was enough to crush our national economy. For this reason, the head of state had to go against the crowd, open the financial field to private capital, and allow some powerful entrepreneurs to open deposit and loan banks."

"I know this, it was quite big at that time."

"So, do you know why the Head of State did this?"

"This..." Huang Zhibo smiled bitterly. He was a soldier, not an economist.

"Actually, I don't understand very much. I just heard Li Pingko say that our biggest problem is that we have no money, but that we have too much money, or too much money printed. Whether this money has fallen into the hands of ordinary people has led to a widening gap between the rich and the poor in the country. Rich people are very rich, while those without money are penniless. When money is concentrated in the hands of a few people, problems will inevitably arise. Of course, it is hard to say one thing. Just say one thing. In recent years, more and more rich people have immigrated. It can even be said that almost all the rich are preparing or have immigrated."

"It's going to rain, and my mother wants to get married."

"You can't say that. After all, these people get rich first, and they are the pillars of society." Lu Fenglie glanced at Huang Zhibo and said, "If there were no such war, our country would have become hollowed out in a few years and social contradictions would be more prominent."

"So, war has become a good thing?"

"Do you know what the Head of State thinks?"

Huang Zhibo was stunned for a moment, then understood and said, "What do you mean is that the head of state had expected it and hoped to solve our social problems through war?"

Feng Lie nodded and said, "To put it simply, there are two reasons for the rich to move. First, the safety of personal property cannot be guaranteed, and he is afraid that when will social conflicts break out, leading to damage to personal interests. People have selfish intentions, which is completely understandable. Second, the domestic investment environment is deteriorating, and what can be done can't make money, and what can be made can't be done. It is in the state monopoly, and coupled with severe inflation, the richer people are more worried about the depreciation of money. Perhaps the people just think it's expensive to buy things, but for those rich with hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars, if there is no ideal investment channel, currency depreciation is plundering their wealth."

"Mr. Lu, we don't understand this problem, and there is no need to understand it. Anyway, I am a poor person."

"Do you think I am a rich man?" Lu Fenglie smiled and shook his head, saying, "We cannot avoid these real problems, but we have to find a way to solve him. Of course, this is not what soldiers should do. But from the moment, this war undoubtedly plays such a role."

"What does it do?"

"At present, there are four private banks in China, and the scale is not small, with a registered capital of nearly 3 trillion yuan. According to the policies issued by the central government, after the capital is increased by five times, it can raise 14 trillion yuan. I don't know much about how to operate it, I only know that most of this money must be used in North Korea."

"North Korea?"

"Buy military supplies for the volunteers and help North Korea carry out post-war reconstruction."

"this……"

"After fighting for more than three months, it has cost about seven trillion yuan."

Huang Zhibo was stunned and said with a smile: "Mr. Lu, isn't there seven trillion left?"

"You think well, this is just war expenses, and you haven't considered post-war reconstruction. According to the scale of North Korea, the funds required for post-war reconstruction will not be less than a trillion."

"So much?"

"This is just the beginning. If our resource development project in North Korea is launched smoothly, the North Korean authorities will have to raise some of the funds themselves. Of course, these are all said by the Head of State and Li Pingko, and I don't understand the economy. There is only one thing you have to know, we don't have much left in the war."

“How many more?”

"I don't know either, but it's only one or two months, and I have to consider ending this war."

Huang Zhibo frowned and realized the seriousness of the problem.

"In fact, this money is still in our hands, or it has flowed into the domestic market. Almost all the 7 trillion spent is spent on arms procurement, and as much as 5 trillion is paid to arms enterprises alone, and then it is paid to other enterprises through arms enterprises, such as mines, steel plants, chemical factories, electronic factories, etc. The result is that a large part of this money will inevitably flow into the domestic consumer market, leading to domestic prices rising. On a month-on-month basis, the current prices have increased by 20% compared with before the outbreak of the war."

"This is not the case with statistics."

Feng Lie was stunned and said, "Do you care about domestic affairs?"

"The Volunteer Army is not rootless duckweed, of course I have to care about major domestic affairs."

"The published statistics are full of moisture. After all, stabilizing the people's hearts is the most important thing, but reality is reality. If war expenses continue to be expanded, there may be problems in the country."

"Is there a way to solve it?"

"The best way is to get a truce as soon as possible." Lu Fenglie breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This is not the idea of ​​others, but the idea of ​​the head of state. Only by ending the war as soon as possible can we harvest the fruits of the war as soon as possible. Not to mention, after the truce, we have to help North Korea rebuild. At that time, large amounts of funds will flow into North Korea, and domestic liquidity will be reduced, and inflation will naturally be controlled. In addition, among the reasons why domestic inflation remains high, resource shortage is also very important. According to the agreement we signed with North Korea, in the early stage of reconstruction, North Korea mainly uses minerals and other resources to repay debts, and private banks that provide war financing to North Korea during the war will give priority to investment rights. Therefore, our private capital can take this opportunity to enter North Korea."

“That is, let the rich get high-reported investment opportunities?”

Feng Lie smiled and nodded and said, "So, this is a good thing that can kill multiple goals in one fell swoop, which can reduce domestic inflation and retain social wealth. If it is done well, the head of state will also borrow this opportunity to open up more monopoly areas and allow private capital to obtain more investment opportunities."

"So, the head of state is ready to make trouble?"

"This war is not only an opportunity for our army to revitalize its military authority, but also an excellent opportunity for our country to advance reforms. But before doing these things, there must be a prerequisite."

"What?"

"Win this war."

Huang Zhibo was stunned, as if he didn't understand.

"You know, the biggest resistance to any reform is not the civil forces, but the interest groups that have already been in a monopoly position and have gained benefits from the monopoly. To put it simply, it is the contradictions within us. The Yuan first needs to carry out reforms, and first of all, we must obtain sufficient support and obtain the power to promote reforms. Among all forces, the support of the army is crucial. Without the support of the army, any reform that penetrates into the system cannot be successful. Only by winning this war and the volunteer army after returning to China becomes the undeserved absolute main force, can the head of state have this foundation. More importantly, a victorious war will increase the personal prestige of the head of state and thus solve some problems that could not be solved. For example, from the leadership to the people, there may be no one questioning the head of state's strategic decisions."

"Mr. Lu, what do you mean..."

"What do you mean? Think about it slowly, sooner or later you will understand it." Lu Fenglie smiled and said, "But you have to do several things after you go back."

"What's up?"

"After fighting a few bad battles, many outstanding commanders and fighters emerged in the Volunteer Army, and they are all very young and have no background. No matter what, the Volunteer Army will have to return home sooner or later, so you have to seize this opportunity to get more training opportunities and get the treatment they deserve."

"Mr. Lu, this is not a joke."

"Of course I didn't joke with you, but asked you to do it. Of course, no matter how you do it, they are all Chinese people, and they are soldiers who put national interests first. I have promised the head of state to work for a few more years. After being a soldier for decades, I have nothing to expect, but I just hope to create a better future for our descendants. You are still young, so you don't need to think about problems like me, and you will be more responsible for action."

Huang Zhibo nodded thoughtfully, indicating that he understood Lu Fenglie's meaning.

"Also, when you come back, military reform must be carried out quickly. I just remind you not to think too much, let's talk about winning this war."

Huang Zhibo didn't say much, he knew Lu Fenglie's meaning very well.
