The tens of thousands of kilometers of sea route required to visit the United States cannot be completed in a day or two. After a full day's rest in the cruiser lounge, Liu Hua, as the leader of the delegation, began to supplement the current domestic economic, industrial, and military data with the help of Mr. Deng.
"Vice Chairman, there are the hundreds of millions of dollars that the U.S. government paid us in accordance with the treaty a few months ago to send troops, plus the large amount of wealth transferred back from Japan during this expedition The total funds held by the Ministry of Finance of the Government Affairs Council The volume has exceeded US$4.3 billion.¡±
"However, because most of the wealth shipped back from Japan is hard currency gold, in order to support the government's upcoming currency reform and support the existing domestic financial system. The gold shipped back from Japan, according to the chairman and others requirements, all have been deposited into the national treasury as our country¡¯s strategic gold reserves.¡±
"So, excluding the gold, the total amount of funds that the Ministry of Finance can use is reduced to 1.8 billion U.S. dollars. However, even so, according to our country's current development speed, this 1.8 billion U.S. dollars is enough for the central government's fiscal expenditure for more than two years. ." Relying on his own memory, Mr. Deng reported with a smile on his face.
"That is to say, in a short period of time, our country will not have any economic gap. Of course, the prerequisite is that there will be no major accidents or natural disasters in the country during this period" There is no shortage of funds, and Liu Hua is equally happy said.
"Yes, Vice Chairman" Mr. Deng nodded affirmatively.
"Well, tell me more about the industrial situation" Liu Hua continued to ask.
"Yes, Vice ChairmanIndustry mainly includes"
After Deng Gong¡¯s explanation and analysis, Liu Hua finally had an understanding of China¡¯s current industrial foundation.
Since the Qing government began to carry out reforms, various light industries have begun to develop in various parts of China. It has been accumulated for decades, although it was destroyed by war during this period. However, it has been supplemented by some light industrial base in Japan. It can be said that the entire domestic light industry. It has developed to the point where it is on par with other countries in the world.
As for heavy industry, in the words of the Chairman and others, an idiom can best describe it, that is, ¡®terrible¡¯
Although all the heavy industry in Japan has been transported back to the country. but. With equipment but without corresponding talents, it is also impossible for the country's heavy industry to develop.
Within a few months, tens of thousands of Japanese technicians and engineers were transported back to China along with the equipment. However, a talent pool of less than 100,000 people is a drop in the bucket for a large country with a population of several hundred million.
Facing this bottleneck, the current Chinese government can only make use of these limited technical talents. Develop some heavy industries that are urgently needed in the country. As for other aspects, as the saying goes, one bite cannot make a big fat man. We can only expand step by step until the country has enough talents.
At this moment, China has to face this development bottleneck not only in heavy industry. Even the mechanization and modernization development process of the army has to face this bottleneck
As one of the rewards for this expedition to Japan, a large number of heavy and medium tanks. Advanced fighters, advanced ships Also due to the shortage of technical arms and corresponding talents in the military, a large number of new equipment has been produced. Had to stop at the warehouse¡
Thinking of the current difficulties faced by the country, and then thinking of the growing friction and instability between China and the Soviet Union. Since his rebirth, Liu Hua, who has always promised to develop the motherland into a strong idea, can't help but worry.
Because he knew the fact that in the vast terrain of the Mongolian grassland, once a war broke out with the Soviet Union. A squadron equipped with only light weapons, no matter how strong their fighting will is. Facing the steel torrent of the Soviet armored forces, there was only one result: being wiped out
And there is only one way to avoid this happening, and that is to develop your own armored forces. Develop the air force, develop the Army Aviation Force, which is known as the nemesis of tanks and armor, and even develop specialized missile units that can carry out precision strikes
The Army Aviation Force is because no country in the world has really paid attention to it. Liu Hua can confidently say that as long as he can find relevant talents and rely on his foresight to develop the direction. It will definitely build the Chinese Army Aviation Force into an elite division that is ahead of other countries in the world.
The key technologies of the missile force are guidance and rocket technology. An important task of Liu Hua's trip to the United States is to introduce a group of rocket technicians and electronic technicians to the country. Of course, there is also a secret that Liu Hua cannot tell, which is the introduction of nuclear physics talents in the research and production of nuclear weapons.
In Liu Hua's mind, rocket technology is not only used in missiles, but also in satellite launches in future generations, which will be the source of power for jet aircraft in the future
As for electronic technology, just in the military, it includes missile guidance radar technology fire control systems for various naval guns, artillery, aircraft, tanks
It can be said that as long as we can introduce technology and talents in this area, it will be enough to make the modernization process of the Chinese Navy take a big step forward, and even surpass the US Navy in some aspects.
Of course, these two arms that have not yet appeared can only be studied and formed step by step after Liu Hua visited the United States. But now, there are already bottlenecks in the development of the two arms directly in front of Liu Hua, and he needs to solve them.
After a brief reflection, Liu Hua spoke to Deng Gong in front of him.
"Old Deng, it has been four months since the equipment was shipped back to China. I want to know how many tanks and air force units our squadron has formed in these four months"
"Two heavy tank divisions, six medium tank divisions The Air Force has established a total of six fighter regiments, 12 medium bomber regiments, and 2 long-range heavy bomber regiments In terms of artillery, because the artillery personnel reserved by each unit are relatively sufficient, 24 heavy artillery brigades have been successfully formed in accordance with the orders of the Central Military Commission, and 12 more heavy artillery brigades are being formed"
"As for the Navy, because our limited naval personnel have been overloaded, except for the current two fleets of the East China Sea and the South China Sea, all remaining ships are parked in the dock. However, according to the report of Navy Commander Chen, at the latest three In August, a new batch of intensive training naval cadets will graduate. By then, all ships equipped by the navy will be fully commissioned. However, it is almost impossible to truly develop combat effectiveness without more than a year of training. "Deng Gong replied solemnly.
"Old Deng, it seems that the only thing our country lacks now, and the most lacking thing, is talent"
"As long as there are enough talents, whether it is industrial or military, we will be able to take a big step forward immediately" After listening to the report, Liu Hua couldn't help but sigh.
Deng Gong, who also understood the importance of talents, nodded noncommittally. Then, he sighed helplessly and said: "Vice Chairman, talent is important. However, if a country does not have decades of continuous training and accumulation, it is impossible to have the massive talents we need" "
And just as Mr. Deng finished speaking, a strange smile flashed across Liu Hua's lips and he said.
"Old Deng, don't be discouraged Don't forget, what is the purpose of our trip Our country does not have so many talents, but foreign countries do"
Seeing the puzzled Mr. Deng, Liu Hua smiled and explained: "As far as I know, in the past few decades alone, the total number of overseas Chinese who have gone abroad for various reasons has exceeded ten million. Among these tens of millions, Among the overseas Chinese, there should be around 500,000 technicians and craftsmen of all kinds, not to mention too many"
"If we can mobilize one-fifth of them no, even one-tenth to return to the country, it will have a huge promotion effect on the development of various industries in our country."
"What's more important is that not only are a large number of talents returning to China with these overseas Chinese, but there are also a large number of funds and factories It can be said with certainty that mobilizing overseas Chinese to return to China is not only a way to achieve multiple goals with one stone, but also a great benefit to us. This country in urgent need of development is without exception"
Having said this, Liu Hua seemed to have thought of something and continued to speak.
"Now that we have said this, the two of us will temporarily discuss and confirm several major events for this visit to the United States. I will talk about my thoughts first. If there are any loopholes, you can add them."
"The first major event: the procurement of various equipment and technologies worth one billion US dollars, including the introduction of corresponding talents."
¡°The second major event is to visit overseas Chinese leaders in the United States, publicize the current domestic policies and difficulties to overseas Chinese, mobilize all overseas Chinese to return to the country to invest, and work with the people of the motherland to build a strong Chinese nation.¡±
"The third major event is to have a secret meeting with high-level officials in the United States. Through this secret meeting, we can reach some consensus. What's more, we can carry out corresponding economic and military cooperation with the U.S. government I believe that, China's population of more than 400 million is a huge consumer group in every aspect. If we import from this aspect, it will undoubtedly be a cash cow for the US government, which has a large backlog of goods."
¡°The fourth major thing is to cooperate with the United States, and even on the basis of paying a certain price, require the United States to help our country establish an integrated army, navy and air force that can be used at once.??A large-scale modern military academy that can accommodate 50,000 people studying at the same time to cultivate modern military talents for our squadron"
"These are the four points for now, Lao Deng, do you have anything to add?" Liu Hua said.
"No I just have a concern Vice Chairman, although the central government has authorized us to make emergency decisions. However, I still believe that these four decisions should be reported to the central government first and let the chairman and the prime minister help us check ." Mr. Deng smiled and said with a meaningful expression.
"Old Deng, you are worrying too much After so many years, I have changed a lot from my recklessness and going my own way - Give me half an hour, and I will give you the compiled content. You are helping. I'll polish it up" Liu Huashen replied with approval. (To be continued
