The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 844 Calculating the General Ledger
海军方面，拥有先进的022型导弹艇、022A型鱼雷艇、054型护卫舰、052型驱逐舰、039型新型常规潜艇、先进的扫雷艇。先进的电子侦查船。

In the world's navy, the Americans are naturally first and the Soviet Union is second.

However, apart from the US and Soviet navies, the Chinese Navy is capable of protecting itself and ranks among the best in the second echelon of the world's navies.

Not to mention, in a few years, the navy will have more advanced Type 093 attack nuclear submarines and Type 094 strategic nuclear submarines.

There will even be a light aircraft carrier.

It can be said that the Chinese Navy lacks nothing except medium-sized and large aircraft carriers.

It is only a matter of time before we have medium-sized and large aircraft carriers.

The navy is more than ten times stronger, and the air force is also countless times stronger.

Except for the lack of advanced electronic reconnaissance aircraft, advanced transport aircraft, advanced bombers, advanced early warning aircraft, and advanced refueling aircraft, the Chinese Air Force has everything.

Compared with the United States and the Soviet Union, the air force is still far behind.

However, compared with the air forces of other countries, the Chinese Air Force is not inferior at all, and is even ranked at the forefront of the second tier of world air forces.

Not to mention the advanced fighter jets and helicopters previously imported from the United States, even now, China's latest J-7 and J-8 fighter jets have reached the level of second-generation and a half fighter jets, and the JH-7 has also reached the level of second-generation and a half fighter jets.

In terms of the most advanced fighter jets, the J-10 and J-11 fighter jets have already been put into service and will become the top combat force of the Chinese Air Force, guarding the airspace of the Republic.

In terms of trainer aircraft, the K8 primary trainer, J-7 advanced trainer, J-7A advanced trainer and Eagle advanced trainer have all made up for China's shortcomings in trainer aircraft and will be beneficial to the Chinese Air Force's pilot training.

The laser-engraving helicopter makes up for China's shortcomings in the field of helicopters and will play an important role in all aspects of China.

As for the army, that goes without saying.

In 1990, the construction of semi-mechanized troops was completed, and a large number of new equipment were equipped, and a large number of new tanks and armored vehicles were delivered to the troops.

Even the mechanized forces that were previously thought to take 50 or even 100 years to build can now be completed in just a few years.

The Type 80 main battle tank has long been ranked first among the world's main battle tanks and is recognized as the strongest main battle tank.

The Type 81 medium tank is considered to be the most advanced medium tank in the world; the Type 81 light tank is recognized as the best light tank.

Although the number of tanks equipped by the army now is not as high as it was at its peak, the combat effectiveness of the tank armored forces has increased several times.

The 'Aegis' series of air defense missiles constitute China's short-range, medium-range and long-range air defense capabilities, guarding the security of the Republic.

The birth of combined battalions and combined brigades has paved the way for future military construction.

Seeing this, Liu Tao continued to complain: "The Shenyang-Haikou Expressway project has a total investment of 300 billion RMB; the Beijing-Kowloon High-Speed ​​Railway project has a total investment of 700 billion RMB, of which our Panshan Group has contributed 500 billion RMB and is also responsible for solving technical problems; the Beijing-Shanghai High-Speed ​​Railway has a total investment of 400 billion RMB; the Beijing-Shanghai Expressway, Beijing-Kunming Expressway, Wuhan-Guangzhou High-Speed ​​Railway, Guangzhou-Kunming High-Speed ​​Railway, and Chengdu-Kunming High-Speed ​​Railway have a total investment of 4000 billion RMB, of which our Panshan Group has contributed 3000 billion RMB; the Shanghai-Shenzhen High-Speed ​​Railway has a total investment of 700 billion RMB"

Speaking of this, Liu Tao shook his head. In terms of transportation, Panshan Group has invested a total of 5000 billion yuan.

This happened over the course of ten years, with an average annual investment of 500 billion RMB.

"There are also reservoirs, hydropower stations and high-voltage transmission networks," Liu Tao counted on his fingers, the total investment in this area is also as high as 4300 billion yuan.

So far, the Southwest Power Grid has sold that much electricity every year, but it is still making a loss.

It’s about continuous investment and paying off debts.

"Over the years, the profits and taxes we paid have amounted to hundreds of billions of RMB," said Liu Tao.

If we want to talk about this, we naturally have to settle the accounts clearly.

Liu Tao complained: "Some comrades only see how much money we make, but don't look at how much money we invest. Isn't that jealous?"

"Comrade Liu Tao, please don't say anything that is not conducive to unity." The leader waved his hand.

To be honest, when Liu Tao counted, he clearly felt what Panshan Group had done and the contributions it had made.

Panshan Group is very large, incredibly large, and very profitable. At the same time, Panshan Group has made a lot of infrastructure investments in China.

Whether it is transportation or reservoirs and hydropower stations, the investment costs cannot be recovered in a short period of time. Many people even believe that the costs cannot be recovered at all.

However, its role in the development of the national economy is obvious to all.

During construction, it will drive the development of related industries, create jobs, and promote the local economic development.

After being put into operation, it will be able to generate positive social and economic benefits.

For example, the transportation is convenient. It is now very convenient to go from Beijing to Shanghai or from Beijing to Shenzhen.

And once these projects are completed, China will once again enter the fast lane of development.

The investment in these major projects will be enough to ensure that China can maintain rapid development in the next twenty years.

This is still domestic, not to mention overseas investment.

The company under Panshan Group is one of the major international grain traders and China's largest supplier of grain, beef, mutton, etc.

Many of these are debts owed to Panshan Group by other countries, and they are using this to pay off debts or as a means of trade.

The navy is going to escort, and the supply ports along the route are all invested by Panshan Group.

Even Panshan Group owns a considerable number of oil fields and natural gas overseas, which plays a huge role in China's energy security.

Since China became a net oil importer, the annual growth rate of oil imports has been staggering. It is estimated that within less than 20 years, China will surpass the United States and become the world's largest oil importer.

In this context, the importance of oil security strategy is beyond doubt.

If it weren't for Panshan Group's efforts over the past decade, I'm afraid everyone would be overwhelmed in this regard.

"What? They did it, so others can't say anything?" Liu Tao was very unconvinced.

The leader looked helpless.

Because of this matter, Panshan Group is in the right.

Panshan Group did nothing wrong.

In the final analysis, it is nothing more than the fact that Panshan Group has grown so big that it has attracted envy and people want to get a piece of the pie.

Liu Tao was not wrong about conjunctivitis.

But knowing is one thing, and saying it is another.

The leader wanted to criticize Liu Tao for not being ideologically aware enough and not being mature enough.

But think about it again, Liu Tao is only 38 years old this year. At this age, how high can we expect Liu Tao to be in ideological awareness and how mature he should be?
The leader finally understood why Wang Qian returned to Beijing in disgrace and brought very bad news to everyone.

Because if you look into this matter thoroughly, Panshan Group is in the right.

He is right and has full confidence.

On the contrary, I should feel guilty.

The Panshan Group is developing well, but instead of dealing with those that have gone astray, why are we dealing with the Panshan Group?

It's like, instead of criticizing the poor students, we criticize the good students.

Is excellence also a fault?!
