After the conversation with Bruna, Jiangzhou led people to set up a working group to operate the "Bana City Coup", with him as the leader, Su Tiannan as the deputy leader, and Mr. Dabai as Bruna's personal secretary. In short, as long as the girl is willing, he can sleep with her. It can be said that he has taken personal care to the extreme.
The reason why Su Tianyu did not join this group for the time being was because he was surrounded by all kinds of happy troubles. In addition, Bana City was a long-term operation, and his presence or absence would not have much impact, so he needed to take some time to solve the current problems.
…
In the small meeting room of the Chi Army, Xin Xiaodong, Chief of Staff Wu, Zhao Weihu and others were all smoking and looking at Su Tianyu eagerly.
"Didn't we just conquer Sri Lanka some time ago? You should be full by now. Why do you want money again?" Su Tianyu asked helplessly.
"Commander, you go and explain to him." Chief of Staff Wu said to Zhao Weihu in a flattering tone.
Zhao Weihu coughed twice and replied, holding a cigarette between his teeth: "When we fought Sri Lanka, most of what we seized were arms and military supplies, but these things cannot be exchanged for cash! What we lack now is military funds."
Su Tianyu was silent.
"In the past, we were actually quite self-sufficient." Zhao Weihu continued, "The arms business and the sideline businesses we run in the Chi Army all brought in good income. But now the arms business has stopped, the political situation in the Sinalo region is so complicated, and we were locked up in Hualei for more than two months... We couldn't do anything, so... our economic situation is really bad. You can talk to Lao Li and see if you can approve some money for us first."
Su Tianyu fell into deep thought.
"Let me express my opinion first." Xin Xiaodong raised his hand and said, "Commander Su, you are our leader now. We all listen to you. If you say who to kill, we will definitely go and do it with guns! Even if we have to kill the last person, we must strive to complete the mission. But brothers, when we go up the mountain, first of all, a series of regular military welfare guarantees will be lost... including housing allocation, year-end bonuses, training allowances, etc.... If you can't give these money, we can still talk to the soldiers in person, but if the military expenditure is stuck, then I really can't control the people below, and there will be mutiny and desertion. This thing is contagious. If someone runs away, there will definitely be others to follow."
Su Tianyu took a sip of tea and frowned.
"So what I mean is that an ordinary soldier should not get less than 2,000 yuan a month." Xin Xiaodong spread out his palms and said, "In theory, the situation outside the area is definitely different from that inside the area. It's more dangerous here, so we should give everyone a raise, but considering our current economic situation... we maintain the salary level in Longcheng, which is already the minimum."
"Yeah." Su Tianyu did not refute, but nodded.
In fact, what Xin Xiaodong said makes sense. Regular soldiers followed their superiors to the mountains for no apparent reason. Not only did their salaries not increase, but they might even be reduced. This would definitely cause instability in the morale of the troops below.
To put it bluntly, the grassroots soldiers left their homes and jobs to follow you to fight, but now they earn less than before. Who can bear that
Are military salaries expensive
In fact, if you calculate carefully, this is a very terrifying amount of expenditure.
A soldier is paid 2,000 yuan a month, so the military expenditure for the 10,000 people in the Third Division alone is 20 million yuan a month.
About six million of this was borne by the Mexican government army. Since the Mexican area was relatively poor, their soldiers' salaries were in three levels of 600, 700, and 800. Now that the Third Division had come here, it was also part of the combat sequence of the Mexican government army, so they had to be paid.
But these six million cannot solve the fundamental problem, and Su Tianyu cannot rely on the old Mexican army to give special treatment to the Third Division. To put it bluntly, if it were not for the head of the old Mexican army, who was engaged in a diplomatic offensive political strategy, was close to the Chinese district, and liked Zhao Weihu, then given the current political situation here, it is estimated that the upper echelons would have cut off the food supply to the Chi Army long ago.
You are not our national armed forces, and you have an ambiguous relationship with Longcheng. Why should we support you with money? Therefore, the monthly six million may not be long-term and may be cut off at any time.
There is another problem, that is, the average salary level of the Third Division is much higher than that of the Chi Army. When they were in Longcheng, the monthly salary of the soldiers was 2,000. Now that they are here, they must be paid this amount.
But Chi Jun’s previous monthly salary was more than 900, less than 1,000. They were paid according to seniority and enlistment age. But now that the Third Division has arrived and the two sides have merged, you can’t possibly pay the Xin family 2,000 and give Chi Jun 1,000
If we want to do it, we have to be fair and pay the same salary to the brothers who work hard.
The Chi Army also has several thousand people. Excluding the military expenses provided by the Mexican government troops, the fixed expenditure per month must be over 10 million.
How much does this add up to
The fixed expenditure is 25-6 million per month! Now that the armament has stopped, the army has to be stationed in Sri Lanka all the time. The troops have no stable income, so how can we fill this financial hole
This is a happy trouble! It’s not that Lao Li’s team doesn’t make enough money, but that their size has grown several times without them noticing.
In fact, the Tongji Association and the Coders Association make a lot of money every month, but they also have to support their own members, and it is impossible to provide all the income to the army. The income of Longcheng Municipal Government is definitely supervised by the upper level. It is not that Lao Li can take as much as he wants. Don't forget that there is also the Erdang faction and Ouyang Zhen above him.
what to do
Seeking help from Jiangzhou
This may solve part of the money problem, but taking the money from the Chinese area will change the nature of the troops!
Who will be the final leader? This... This is definitely not possible. You still have to support your own team.
Su Tianyu sat in the conference room and said with a little melancholy: "I know about it. Let me think about how to solve it."
"As soon as possible, our fund reserves are less than two months." Xin Xiaodong stood up and replied: "Let me say in advance that the military funds currently prepared for distribution were all collected by our senior officials of the Xin family."
This is not to seek credit. In fact, after the Xin family went to the mountain, they have not received any benefits. Instead, they have spent money. Because the transfer of more than 10,000 troops is not something that can be done with a single word. It involves the transfer of military families and local resettlement.
Any move here costs money.
Make money!
This is the issue that Su Tianyu needs to consider most at the moment. At least in a short period of time, he must become rich so that he can hold on to the arms business and find new transportation channels.
