Chapter 17 The Uninvited Guest
Since the economy is developing rapidly, Wang Ziqi patted his chest and made a guarantee: "This year, the payment of more than 6 million yuan is guaranteed, please rest assured!" Shandong is finally the territory of the Hubei system. Wang Ziqi has been receiving more than 5 million yuan in all year round, which is equivalent to more than 60% of the amount that should be transferred to Beijing.
However, there was not much in the hands of the Beijing government. More than 60% of the 5 million yuan was just a transfer of the Beijing government's account and added it to Shandong. The so-called "instant compensation" was only two million yuan that the Beijing government could count on.
However, Shandong Nan was still rich. According to the rules, the amount of money to be transferred to Beijing can reach more than one million yuan every year. However, since the era of Zhang Ke, the money has never been earned by less than 100,000 yuan. After changing to Liu Jingxiao, he simply intercepted all the taxes and did not transfer a penny to Beijing.
Now that his old friend Ding Quanwei is visiting, Liu Jingxiao will give him face. However, after a long war in southern Shandong, he cannot recover his vitality this year. Next year, the central tax revenue will be reduced according to the amount of Zhang Ke's era, and then it will increase year by year.
This is a cake to satisfy your hunger, but Duan Tiemin was very happy to see the cake drawn by Liu Jingxiao. The Northwest Frontier Defense Force and the participating troops had three infantry divisions and three mixed brigades, which were large in scale.
The military pay of an infantry division is 141,000 yuan a month, and the military pay of one mixed brigade is 80,000 yuan a month. The military pay expenditure alone is 660,000 yuan a month. What's more, everything has to be started from scratch, and the money spent is constantly flowing out.
There are additional conditions for the Liefeng people to give large loans. All arms for the newly built troops should be mainly purchased for Liefeng goods. In addition, the scale of the Third Division and the Third Brigade was too large. The two arsenals in Hanyang and Gongxian, controlled by the central government, could not produce so many arms for a while. Although they purchased a batch from Shanghai, they still could not solve the urgent problem, so they purchased a large amount of arms from Liefeng, with a total of tens of millions of yuan.
The Liefeng people sent several advisors in the Northwest Frontier Defense Forces and the participating troops. At that time, someone said to Duan Tiemin: "Prime Minister, the Liefeng people's advisors entered our army, that is, there were countless spies in our army, and all military secrets of all sizes were hidden from them! This is a great harm to the country!"
At that time, those who were most ambitious towards me were the three. There were Tiele tigers in the north, and the three provinces in the south were invaded inside and outside Rouran and the northeast. Even the new provinces were regarded as their own power by the Tiele people. Tiele people were extremely brave and had poor military discipline, especially cavalry, and our country was always regarded as the number one enemy.
The second is the strong wind, which is across the sea from me. The ancestors of the monarchs had great ambitions, expelled the ruling generals during the Republican Revolution in our country, carried out all matters, carried out reforms, and were supported by Albion, and the national strength was thriving. The battle of Silla was aligned with many countries to defeat our army in Silla. There was also Silla, which was feminine to our outsiders and harbored evil intentions in our country.
Next is Albion. The relationship between my country and Albion can be said to be unbreakable and chaotic. In the early years of the Republic, Albion and Carthage fought for seven years, and at first, no victory or defeat was decided, so they all cooperated with our country to defeat Carthage, sold a large number of warships and design drawings, and sent people to my country to guide the construction of the army. Therefore, the initial establishment of our country's navy, and a few of these warships are still in service in the First Fleet today, and the Second Fleet took the opportunity to defeat Carthage at sea and took the opportunity to collect Luzon.
Later, our country formed ally with Albion for a long time. During the New World War Independence War, although the independence army in the north of the New World was originally a mob, it became stronger and stronger. With the help of the Cape people, it turned victory into defeat and defeated Albion's army. At that time, all the countries in the Thais were in a feud with Albion. Although Albion was called the Empire of the Sun and the Sun was not set, it could not withstand so many powerful players. So we sought help from our country. However, at that time, our country was trapped in civil war and could not look east.
Fortunately, the Shen family emerged from nowhere and reached an agreement with Albion to exchange the Shen family for the uninhabited southern New World. The Shen family then combined various armed forces to "withdraw from the civil war" to support Albion to suppress the Independent Army of the New World.
This is indeed a great turning point for the Republic. The "Southern New World" can be said to be a virgin land and has no geographical relationship with the "New World". It lives in the extreme south sea. A Captain Kirk discovered this place more than ten times before Albion and declared it to be the territory of Albion, but the Albion people did not care about it and had no intention of developing it.
Except for tens of thousands of natives, this place is uninhabited, but it traverses tens of thousands of miles and has a fertile land. Today, the Shen family still secretly thanked: "This is a huge profit!"
In this battle, our second fleet took the opportunity to defeat Carthage again in Nanyang and marched into Palembang. The third fleet of the Shen family also collected Johor. The Independence Army in the north of the New World besieged Albion's main force. When he saw the failure, the mercenaries formed by the Shen family shouted loudly and defeated the Independence Army with hand-to-hand attacks, and successfully rescued friendly troops in red.
More than three years later, the mercenaries continued to fight in the New World, and the independence movement was finally declared to be defeated. After the end of the "New World War of Independence", this "exiting civil war" became a routine. With the outbreak of a large-scale independence movement in the Carthaginian controlled areas in the south of the New World, the need for cheap cannon fodder further increased, and the Shen family took the opportunity to expand and occupied several fertile land in the north and south of the New World.
But it is ironic that both Albion and Carthage are traditional imperial countries, and the essence of the New World War is "a bloody war in which a republican country helps an imperial country to suppress the republicans."
However, the power of the Shen family is growing day by day. The Albion people have always liked to play the trick of checks and balances, and never allowed anyone to threaten his maritime hegemony. Now they have joined forces with Carthage to confront our country. Especially on the issue of the Southern New World, the two sides have been quarreling. The Albion people always said that the Southern New World, which was originally given to the Shen family, was actually a mother-child island called Zeland, rather than the Southern New World occupied by the Shen family. The Shen family stepped up their immigration to the Southern New World in order to form a fact of a set of achievements.
Albion longed the navy, so all the navy fleets invited Albion consultants to return to their country to recuperate during the 40th year of the Republic and no longer hired them. The Albion consultants in the army were just decorations. Now Duan Tiemin broke the precedent and quoted Liefeng Consultants in a large number, with a total of no less than hundreds of people, and were even equipped to battalions in the army. Does anyone have this question?
Duan Tiemin was full of confidence. The Liefeng people used him, and he also used the Liefeng people. He said, "Your idea is wrong! As long as the republic is completed, I will drive away all the Liefeng consultants! Then, with the national strength of 40,000 miles of mountains and rivers, and the power of the twelve provinces outside Shanghai, gathered hundreds of thousands of troops to drive Tiele in the north, defeated Liefeng in the east, and finally won the new continent and achieved a great reputation!"
The mantis in the world always thinks that he is the sparrow. With such a grand plan, Duan Tiemin and Xu Youzheng have the skills to plunder, but they don’t get so much money. Liu Jingxiao made such a high attitude. Duan Xu and both repeatedly commended Liu Jingxiao’s achievements in obeying the central government, but they were extremely troubled by Liu Jingxiao’s telegram requesting to repay the wages.
There was also a guest who was most unexpected to Liu Jingxiao. That morning, the vicious sun appeared. Liu Jingxiao got up very early and took all the cadres above the division and company to run for half an hour, and then prepared to practice her body.
This is the idea that Guo Junqing gave her. After the troops stationed in one place for a long time, they will inevitably lose their spirits, especially the cadres. Therefore, Liu Jingxiao has to lead the cadres to run half an hour of cross-country running every week, and then everyone practices Tai Chi to exercise, which is also a way to maintain the entire group relationship.
Who dares not go if the division commander leads the team? Of course there is! It’s not Bai Siwen. Although he usually works as a slut, he gets up the earliest every time he runs. He has arrived at the venue at four o’clock. Unfortunately, Liu Jingxiao is trapped in a gentle village and will never get up until five o’clock. After the family has finished making trouble, it’s 5:20 to arrive at the venue. At this time, a large number of people have arrived, so that Liu Jingxiao cannot find out his painstaking efforts!
It is not the two female officers, Guo Junqing and Ding Ning. Liu Jingxiao takes special care of the female officers. Others can choose to ride horses or hike first when running. Guo Junqing and Ding Ning have always been smart and have always ridden on horseback to cheer for the officers. Since there are ladies on the side and the division commander leads the team, everyone has put in full strength.
Who is that? Of course, he is the leader of the Meng Dingguo, who is very hardworking. Now he is a newly married man. He doesn’t have much energy at work, so he gets off the stimulant after work. He whispered the ground and went home as soon as he signed the book. Bai Siwensu is called a sprinter and is said to be invincible in the division, but his short track sprint ability is even better than Bai Company Commander.
The division commander led the team himself. Dingguo would never be there before departure time at 5:30. That day, Liu Jingxiao was named a little, and Meng Dingguo was late again. He frowned and was about to lead the team. At this time, the regiment commander Meng finally arrived. When he saw that he was late, he quickly ran to Liu Jingxiao to report.
Liu Jingxiao glanced at him and found that he was not dressed in a well-dressed manner, Feng Ji had not buttoned up. The buttons of the military uniform were also wrongly buttoned up. The pants on his lower body were sparse and had no military style. He immediately said: "Meng Dingguo is late! Deduct the military salary this month!"
Then the ladies rode horses and the men tried their best to show their demeanor, especially Meng Dingguo. The gritted teeth look was unique. However, after all, most of them were cadres from the Dingbian Army. They had good marching strength. This half-hour cross-country running was not a big problem. Liu Jingxiao was just trying to let everyone move freely when he heard someone there clapping loudly: "I have long been grateful that the 17th Division is a new army, but the appearance of the army is always unique!"
