    When Tao Jiping heard Songkan's words, his heart contracted suddenly. He even felt that his blood flow was accelerating. A rough calculation showed that the total of guns, planes, and warships would be at least 70 to 80 million yuan. If  Adding in the subsequent expenses, the money would be over 100 million.  Military industrial enterprises have two very important characteristics. The first is huge profits, and the second is strong motivation and long industrial chain.  Take the artillery as an example. It sounds very complicated, but in fact it is just a thick iron pipe with two wheels. As for the aircraft, it is just a pile of wood and aluminum alloy.  It looks very high-end, but to be honest, the real cost is not high. If you only get three to five times the profit, you will be considered a conscience.  Just like China in later generations, when selling weapons internationally, they often exchanged soft currency directly for green bills, and the price increased six times. As a result, it was still several times different from the price of Westerners. This kind of crazy profiteering was simply shocking.  People point their fingers.  Another military industry has a lot of suppliers, which can create a lot of jobs. In later generations, one dollar of order can often drive 10 dollars of GDP, or even more.  China¡¯s industrialization construction actually consumes a lot of money. There won¡¯t be much money that can be invested in the military industry. These military industry companies have to find ways to support themselves.  Exporting weapons and using foreign capital to develop its own production lines are China's long-established policies.  ¡°It¡¯s just that no one originally valued China¡¯s weapons and could only support surrounding resistance organizations. But now that it has established a brand, naturally it cannot be let go.  Tao Jiping frowned calmly and thought for a while.  Then he said: "Mr. Songkan, your country wants to purchase a complete set of land, sea and air equipment at once. Of course we are willing to provide it. But do you still have enough personnel to use these weapons? In addition, the maintenance costs are also quite staggering. Calculate it over five years.  , you have to pay at least 20 million a year, I wonder if your country can afford it?" Songkan also took a breath and said in surprise: "How can it be so much?" "Mr.  , Take cruisers as an example. One heavy cruiser we are building costs 10 million, two destroyers cost 30 million, one destroyer costs 800,000, and 20 destroyers cost 16 million. As for aircraft,  A biplane costs about 20,000 yuan. Add in personnel training, weapons and ammunition, and command and communication at the port and airport. Is 20,000,000 yuan a year still expensive?  , as a young man in the military, he certainly hopes that the army will be stronger and the weapons more advanced, the better.  But he didn't expect it either.  This thing is so expensive. Twenty million a year has exceeded Siam's fiscal revenue. Even if all the rice is exported, it will not be able to get so much money. He was immediately embarrassed.  Tao Jiping saw him like this.  An enigmatic smile suddenly appeared on his face: "Mr. Songkhen, I know very well that Siam is eager to strengthen its army. It's just that this kind of thing cannot be done overnight. It's better to think about it in the long term." "No, we can't wait any longer!"  Songkan blurted out.  The monarchs and ministers of Siam are actually in a very special situation. They are in an era of great change. King Rama VII said when he came to power that the curtain of our era has fallen.  It's obvious that they all know that walking the tightrope is no longer sustainable.  In addition, the founding of Nanhua was also a huge impact.  In the field of public security, there is a saying called the broken window effect. Simply put, after a window is broken, if it is not blocked quickly, the surrounding windows will also suffer.  The result is more and more destruction, giving a sense of disorder, and the end result is an increase in crime.  The de facto independence of Borneo also played this role. The colonial order was originally monolithic, but now someone suddenly broke it. Then everyone became more and more commotion, the voices demanding independence became louder and louder, and various armed organizations emerged one after another.  "It's like a small hole breaks in a dam, and then the gap will get bigger and bigger until the flood reaches the sky.  After the founding of Nan Hua, Siam's nationalism expanded rapidly, and independent forces from various Southeast Asian countries gathered in Bangkok, creating various ideological trends.  They demand that Siam take tough measures to restore the country's destiny. This assertion will soon evolve into an expansion of nationalism.  If Siam does not seize the time, strengthen its military, and continues to be weak to the outside world, it may transfer the dissatisfaction of the people to itself, and the result is that the monarchy will be questioned and impacted.  After officially seeing through these dangers, Siamese people had strong expectations for China. Tao Jiping also knew Songkan's urgency, but he was not in a hurry and said with a smile: "Mr. Songkan, your country is our friendly country, and we are also  We are willing to provide you with the most favorable conditions. Let's do this. We can tailor an army building plan for you based on Siam's national defense needs. As for the required weapons, we will provide them to you in the most favorable way and allow you to  Participate in research and development, and then authorize you to establish assembly production lines to ensureThe price is kept to the lowest.  " Songkan heard this and nodded hurriedly: "Thank you, Mr. Minister. I hope to see the plan as soon as possible.  " After the two people finished talking, Tao Jiping hurried to the presidential palace to report the situation to Zhang Tinglan. Since the end of the war, Zhang Tinglan has rarely become more relaxed. His original title of president still carries the word temporary, but  These two words also disappeared with the victory. Zhang Tingshu also returned from Siam. The presidential palace seemed extremely lively. Men, women, old and young gathered together, talking and laughing, and it was especially relaxed.  The land in Luo is really good. It is a fertile land that can produce three crops of rice a year. It is quite fertile.  If you ask me, Siam should be killed. If they want to buy weapons, they can add several times the price and make a lot of money.  " Listening to Zhang Tingshu's words, Daya, who was sitting on the small bench next to him, looked at Zhang Tingshu with disdain: "Second uncle, haven't you heard of the saying of fishing for big fish with a long line?  " "Why, eldest niece, do you understand the important military and national affairs?  " "I don't understand, but I know how to do business. Just like now that I have a set of comic strips that all my classmates want to read, I won't sell them all at once, but rent them out, one day per person, two weeks.  Once you get your capital back, you can make money with the rest.  Zhang Tinglan laughed loudly when he heard this, hugged Da Ya in his arms, and said with a smile: "Second brother, you are not as smart as a child, what can I say about you!"  Zhang Tinglan smiled and said to Daya again: "If you can make money and know how to calculate, you should be rewarded."  But for those friends, you have to learn to share. If there are good things, everyone can watch them together, only in this way can you make good friends.  "    "Oh, I see!  "Da Ya nodded. At this time, Tao Jiping arrived at the Presidential Palace and introduced the situation to Zhang Tinglan. Zhang Tinglan suddenly showed a satisfied smile on his face: "Old Tao, you are very ruthless, very good!  " Being recognized by Zhang Tinglan, Tao Jiping also smiled and said: "The President teaches well, and I just study hard. Compared with the President, I am still far behind.  " Tao Jiping's prescription for Songkham seems to be sincere for the sake of Siam, but in fact it is a hidden murderous intention, and even said to be extremely sinister. " Take the formulation of a national defense strategy for Siam, this is a country  Once the lifeline of Siam is in the hands of China, what secrets can Siam have? It is equivalent to opening the door to China. In addition, the arms part is said to be providing the best deals, but in other words, it is selling junk.  After previous battles, China has a complete vision for national defense construction. Military weapons must be comprehensively updated. This is true for the navy, land and air force. Some things that are not backward in performance but are no longer suitable for China must be eliminated.  If it is kept in the warehouse and rusts, it will definitely be a waste. If it can be changed, it is also a good choice to dump it to Siam. This is what Tao Jiping had in mind, and Zhang Tinglan also coincided with Zhang Tingshu.  He called over again and said with a smile: "Second brother, you are familiar with the situation in Siam. This task will be left to you. Help them formulate a national defense plan and sell them all the things that should be sold.  "Brother, don't worry, I'll make sure to fry more oil and water."  Zhang Tingshu said so and did the same. He immediately found Songkan and made plans while taking him to see various weapons.  "Old man, although monoplanes are fast, they are difficult to train and troublesome to maintain. I think the Siamese Air Force should first equip biplanes and train pilots. We have a batch of biplanes here, although they were produced in 2021.  But the performance is stable and easy to operate, making it very suitable for novices. The most important thing is that there is no powerful air force around you. This is completely sufficient. " "You are looking at this 122mm howitzer. It is lighter than the 152.  It is also suitable for the Nanyang climate, and its leather is durable. " "Then there is the Type 12 tank, which is only over seven tons. It is fast and has excellent off-road performance. It is very suitable for the sultry climate. Moreover, we can install a new engine for you to keep it running.  "Like a cow."  Zhang Tingshu gave full play to his ability to deceive, and blew some old and immature things to the sky, but Song Kan listened with interest. Zhang Tingshu didn't take the most expensive thing, and it seemed like it was still the same.  Always thinking about yourself.  Speaking of which, this guy's military studies in France were not very good, but in a small place like Siam, he stood out from the crowd.  While Zhang Tingshu was raging, representatives from several countries came to China, including the Pahlavi Dynasty of Iran, Egypt, Abyssinia (Ethiopia), and Argentina and Chile in South America. ?There are not many truly independent countries in this era, and they are basically concentrated in Europe. These countries are considered non-European countries, and there are also sovereign leaders. When they come to China, they all want to know about China's military industry.  , some people have even prepared funds to purchase weapons.  Representatives from several countries came to the capital one after another, and everyone in the military industry system was very happy. If they captured all these countries, China would definitely make a lot of money, and even be full of oil.
