Enribor, in Carinthia's Cabinet.
The Minister of Military Affairs, Guan Fei, took the report in his hand and "reported" to An Rui, "His Majesty the King". Of course, he was doing a normal work report: "The elites of the Carinthian Army have changed their clothes, one armored regiment, and three motorized infantry divisions. , the replacement has been completed.
The 3 infantry divisions have all joined the Continental Congress peacekeeping force. It can be considered that through this peacekeeping operation, let’s practice and experience ourselves. "
An Rui nodded, signaling Guan Fei to continue.
Guan Fei also said: "The Carinthian First Armored Regiment is equipped with armored vehicles, and various engineering vehicles, support vehicles, a total of 142 vehicles, plus other supporting equipment and infantry light and heavy equipment, Carinthia armored regiment cost a total of 200 million. Soft coins.
The procurement of weapons and equipment for the 3 motorized infantry divisions cost a total of 300 million soft sister coins. "
Whether it is the Huaqing Type 1 tank (Type 97), the Huaqing Type 2 tank (M5A1), or the Huazhong Type 1 tank (T34), they are all easily imitated tanks by the Lolicon Group.
In this era of serious excess steel production, coupled with the application of some modern technologies and processes, as well as modern production, the cost of the three tanks is extremely low.
A Huaqing Type 1 and Type 2 tank costs 40,000 to 70,000 yuan.
Even the cost price of the Huazhong Type 1 tank is less than 120,000 soft.
The first armored regiment has 142 two tanks, and it is only 12 million soft to break the sky.
Coupled with the imitation of light and heavy equipment such as the Northern Type 98 rifle, the equipment cost of an armored regiment is no more than 20 million soft coins.
If an armored regiment is equipped at the normal price, the equipment cost of the Carinthian 1st armored regiment will not exceed 35 million soft coins.
"The Guard is Here"
In addition to other expenses, salaries of soldiers, and logistical support for personnel, weapons and equipment, a regiment will not exceed 40 million soft.
But even so, An Rui spent more than 200 million soft coins on the equipment of the Carinthian First Armored Regiment.
An Rui listened to Guan Fei's report, looked at the data on the computer in front of him, and said faintly, "Second brother, can this price be raised a little more?"
"carry?"
The reason why Anrui equips Carinthia elites at a price far exceeding the market price is nothing more than having the support of the gold-producing machine in Anjiaba Oilfield, that they dare to be such a cool fool.
However, this two fools are not really two fools. The crude oil produced by Anjiaba Oilfield was sold to several major domestic companies at a relatively low price.
But even so, An Rui, a nouveau riche, made a lot of money.
However, An Rui now has to keep a low profile in the country, and he can't spend money as lavishly as Shao Shao.
In addition to entrusting his girlfriend to help invest in some industries, the rest is in his own hands.
The notice issued by the Time and Space Administration approving the Carinthian Army to upgrade its equipment also allowed An Rui to see the opportunity to spend extravagantly.
Money in your own hands can only get moldy. Anyway, you have enough money. Spend a lot of money to buy domestic products, which can greatly improve the domestic economy.
This is why, even if the production cost is very low, even if the selling price is also very low, An Rui, the second fool, is willing to learn from the big dog and spend a lot of money to buy it.
Not the best, but the most expensive.
The soft coins produced by Anjiaba Oilfield have been changed hands through the arms trade, and then directly entered the domestic arms companies.
Arms companies are raising wages for workers, or investing in other projects or researching and developing products, which can not only drive the development of various industries, but also improve the living standards of the domestic people and stimulate economic growth.
Moreover, An Rui spent a lot of money to buy it, which is equivalent to setting a price adjustment in the flat world.
Tell these indigenous people clearly: "The mall has been updated again, new equipment, everyone come to krypton gold.
Although the price is a bit expensive, it is a new weapon for the ship after all.
Buy early to enjoy early, buy late to get discounts, don’t buy and wait for free. "
It is estimated that after the new equipment of the Carinthian Army is introduced, the countries of the flat world will despise the earth guns and earth cannons in their hands.
At that time, it is the rhythm of entering the mall and charging money to buy and buy.
Compared with An Rui's large investment in the new equipment of the Carinthian Army, the salaries of the soldiers are far less luxurious than the equipment.
Although the salary of the Carinthian soldiers was already high, An Rui did not take advantage of the wave of new equipment to increase the salary of the Carinthian army.
If the salary is paid according to the domestic salary, the salary of the soldiers of the Carinthian Army will be the highest among the various classes of Carinthia.
An Rui didn't want the Carinthia Army to be too rich and the gap between the rich and the poor to be too wide with the lower-level people, which would breed all kinds of conflicts.
What An Rui wanted was the Carinthian army who was a gunman, not joining the army, prostitution for a few years, and then retiring as a local tyrant.
Guan Fei said truthfully: "It can't be higher, if the purchase price of equipment continues to increase, it will not only affect the plan of Carinthia's entire army to change clothes.
At the same time, it is also a huge pressure on the finances of the Carinthian government. "
Although Carinthia's own son is financially supported by oil, it is not an all-purpose money-printing machine.
Oil finance not only supports Carinthia's army, but also supports Carinthia's nine-year compulsory Chinese education, as well as Carinthia's various infrastructure construction and maintenance, as well as various medical facilities and so on.
An Rui sighed: "Since this is the case, then follow the original plan."
Guan Fei nodded and continued: "The current territory of Carinthia is about half the size of the Central Plains, and the army within the territory has 12 divisions.
In the next plan, Carinthia will replace the entire army with new equipment and expand the army to 36 divisions.
In the future, Carinthia will have a total of 3 armored divisions, 5 mechanized infantry divisions, 22 motorized infantry divisions, and 6 cavalry divisions.
It is so luxurious that there is not even a quota for an infantry division, and it is completely sitting and maneuvering.
As for the Air Force, the Carinthian Army will further 'World War I and World War II' modification of the Flying Dragon Knights.
At the same time, the Air Force will increase the "modern" air force of 3 divisions as the transition of the Carinthian Army to gradually adapt to the weapons of the industrial age.
Therefore, the equipment update of the entire Carinthian army and the expansion of the army are expected to cost 17.05 billion soft coins. "
An Rui, who was still thinking of spending extravagantly, was stunned when he heard the price, and looked at Guan Fei: "Second brother, you... will it be too much?"
17.05 billion soft coins are not something that Carinthia can directly get out of now. 500 million soft coins to create 1 armored regiment and 3 infantry divisions made An Rui feel nothing.
But 17.05 billion soft coins, this is a big amount.
Guan Fei chuckled: "Why, your righteousness just now is dignified, and the atmosphere is cool?"
An Rui touched his nose and said embarrassedly, "Second brother, this Carinthia can't support so much financially."
Carinthia's financial allocation has to take care of many places, and naturally it cannot be just the army.
Guan Fei said unhurriedly: "It's not all replaced at once, but it will be replaced in 3 years."
An Rui nodded: "That's okay."
Installment payment, no pain or itching.
But An Rui then continued: "Is it really necessary for us to step up the expansion of the army and the replacement of equipment?"
The expansion plan of 36 divisions has far exceeded the current needs of the Carinthian Crown, if only for "self-preservation".
However, Guan Fei said in disapproval: "The 36 divisions are only standing, and Carinthia will need to expand some temporary troops in the future."
An Rui took a deep breath and let it out slowly: "Is the situation judged in the bureau really that bad?"
Guan Fei nodded: "If you want to implement the soft currency of Panda's official currency, the old nobles will become new nobles, and the farmers and the oppressed will be liberated.
Then Panda's old nobles and old forces will surely have a large-scale rebound.
Including you, An Rui, may face a very dangerous situation like the furry emperor Liu Yi.
Panda was originally a huge ancient empire with a system of feudal feudalism. Without a strong centralized government, all the feudal nobles could be said to be kings on their own.
You can imagine what would happen if the above three policies were forced through the Council of Regents. "
However, no matter what kind of policy it is, the implementation of it will be of great progressive significance for Panda from a historical or long-term perspective.
But the current authorities may not think so.
Although Carinthia has carried out these policies meticulously, that is because Carinthia is An Rui's territory, and the management is almost entirely handled by the Time and Space Administration.
Either the bureau sent people, or the domestic staff, or the government and military personnel trained in Carinthia.
If these policies are extended to the entire Panda, I am afraid the situation is not so optimistic.
But in order to liberate the productive forces, to develop the market, and for the vast people of Aghanim Continent, the Time and Space Administration can only do this.
