The First Warlord of the Republic of China

.

spnps:

The first update arrives!Four thousand words!

At the Shanghai wharf, military statisticians arrived at the scene in a short while, and then these seizures were sorted and counted, and then sent to the warehouse.

According to statistics, the amount of gold seized this time is as much as 460 tons. Calculated based on the gold content of 732238 grams per pound, the total value is 6282 million pounds. If 1 pound is exchanged for 482 dollars, that is 30279 billion U.S. dollars. In terms of silver dollars, it is 6 million silver dollars.

These golds are obviously the gold reserves of the Japanese gold standard, and the implementation of the Japanese gold standard mainly depends on the nearly [-] million taels of indemnity from the Sino-Japanese War. [

In terms of silver dollars alone, it seems that China is not losing gold worth [-] million silver dollars from Japan, but in fact, the silver value during the Sino-Japanese War was higher and could be exchanged for more gold. China did not seize these batches of gold. Gold to make up for the losses in the Sino-Japanese War.

And the interest has not yet been recovered!5% interest per year, 20% for 100 years, and the interest has to be calculated, the rolling interest has long been unknown.

In addition to those gold, 2 million silver dollars were also seized, and the silver content of Japanese silver dollars and Chinese silver dollars is roughly the same.

In addition, there are more than 60 boxes of jewelry and more than 80 boxes of antique calligraphy and paintings.

This is less than half of the goods transported by Japan this time. Most of the other merchant ships were bombed and sunk. It can be said that Japan suffered heavy losses this time.

Then a spoils battle ensued.

Divide the spoils among the three parties, one is the Central Ministry of Finance who heard the news, and the other is the Air Force.One is the navy, and all three parties have reasons to share part of it.

"The military should take the lead. This time the seizure is due to the military. According to the old rules of the army, the Ministry of Finance takes 30%, and the remaining 70% goes to the military." Central Finance Minister Xiong Xiling said, Air Force Commander Liu Jinglong also nodded in agreement.

Xiong Xiling stroked his beard, shook his head and said, "Two commanders, this division has long been an old calendar. In the two wars of recovering Taiwan and liberating North Korea, the army only took 20% of the captured, and the remaining 80% was still Turn it over to the central government, because the central government spends money to fight the war, so it has to be paid back, right?"

"Then is the central government willing to increase the military expenditure of the navy next year?" Xie Baozhang asked calmly.

"Next year's naval military expenditure is still under discussion. It will definitely not be less." Xiong Xiling said with a smile. The Chinese government's budget is at the end of the year, and now there are more than 20 days before the Spring Festival, and the budget work has already started.

"Our navy has spent the least amount of military expenditure over the years. Now that the Japanese navy has been wiped out and the Asian naval power is blank, our Chinese navy must seize the time to seize this vacuum. We must not delay the production of battleships." Xie Baozhang said in a deep voice.

"Our air force...has a huge research and development cost, and we don't have the money to purchase metal aircraft." Liu Jinglong also began to call himself poor, but the reason was a bit far-fetched.

Xiong Xiling looked at the two guys with some headaches.Obviously the navy and air force are not as easy to talk to as the army.Xiong Xiling said decisively: "Okay, in order to encourage the navy and air force to fight bravely, this time it will be divided equally. The central government will only get half, and your navy and air force will each get half."

Xie Baozhang and Liu Jinglong immediately smiled.Half that is a lot.

Immediately, the plan for dividing up the spoils was released, and then submitted to Yuan Shikai and Jiang Yu. Yuan Shikai is the president of the country, so he naturally has the right to intervene.Jiang Yu is the generalissimo of land, sea and air, and he also has the right to intervene.

Yuan Shikai and Jiang Yu got the plan and approved it directly.The loot cannot be tolerated by each army according to its own temperament, and everything must be subject to the national development strategy.

Anyway, you take the money first, it feels too much!This year's budget is a little less.

All construction of the military must be carried out in accordance with the needs of the country. [

At the same time near the end of the year, the central budget has also begun.

In Beijing, Xiong Xiling reported China's taxation situation for 14 years to President Yuan Shikai.

"This year, China's industrial output value reached 110 billion Yanhuang coins, and its agricultural output value was 356 billion Yanhuang coins. The total output value reached about 466 billion Yanhuang coins, and the national tax collection totaled 25 billion yuan."

At this time, China's total agricultural production value continued to rise, because China's arable land area is about 16 billion mu, assuming that the output of each mu of land is calculated as 450 kilograms of grain, and the price of one stone of grain is 3 yuan (Yanhuang coins), one stone It is 80 kilograms, and 16 billion mu has 270 billion Yanhuang coins.

Nowadays, it is naturally impossible to generally reach 450 kilograms of grain per mu, but most of the land can be planted for two or even three seasons, and the output value of economic crops is higher. And other aspects of the output value, came to an agricultural output value of 450 billion.

Because Jiangyu's investment in agriculture was almost no less than that in industry, agricultural machinery in China was gradually popularized at this time. Large-scale agricultural machinery had already begun to be used in many areas in the north, while there were many small-scale agricultural machinery in the south.

The common people are gradually separated from the extremely low-efficiency agricultural production, and the production efficiency is high. The common people can have the time and material basis to develop sideline industries such as breeding, and the output will continue to increase.

The total value of agricultural production will continue to increase in the future.

Due to the improvement of agricultural productivity, the common people are gradually able to eat enough. If it is placed in the ancient agricultural society, after using a lot of agricultural machinery, it will definitely be regarded as a prosperous age.

At this time, China's population is just over 4 million. On average, each person owns about 4 mu of arable land. 4 mu of arable land is enough to feed one person, and it can also include cotton production, which is very enough.

But we must be soberly aware that although China's agricultural output value is high at this time, agriculture is a consumption-oriented industry, and food will be eaten continuously, so it will not leave too much wealth, only industry will leave behind it. Supplies martial arts world men line.

The [-] million people need food and drink. In addition, a lot of food has not been brought out for circulation. It is stored by the rural people themselves. Many rural people are frightened by starvation, and some families have already hidden enough food for two or three years.

Therefore, China's central tax revenue this year is only 25 billion Yanhuang coins.It is equivalent to about 6 yuan for each ordinary person. The tax rate for industry and commerce is relatively high, and the agricultural tax can be said to be relatively low. Most ordinary people with little arable land are exempt from tax.

But although there are only 25 billion Yanhuang coins, it is the year with the highest taxation since the Republic of China.

"Fiscal expenditure in Jiayin year was 28 billion silver dollars, and the central fiscal deficit accumulated to 8 million Yanhuang coins." Xiong Xiling continued to narrate, "In Yimao, the economy is expected to be good, and the central tax revenue is expected to increase to 38 billion Yanhuang coins. If the fiscal deficit is reduced 8 million yuan, and the financial funds available in Yimao are 30 billion Yanhuang coins."

At this time, China's fiscal revenue was already higher than that of the United States.The United States has more than 300 billion U.S. dollars in GPs, but the tax revenue is less than 5 million U.S. dollars. The money is obviously plundered by the consortium.

At the same time, the political corruption in the United States from the end of the nineteenth century to the first half of the twentieth century was relatively serious, and the "warlord and oligarch consortium" in Jiangyu was far less unrestrained than the American international consortium.

The gray income of some officials in the United States.In New York City alone, one official embezzled $3000 million, possibly as much as $[-] million.

However, Chinese officials are relatively clean at this time, and those who will be corrupted are small places that lack effective supervision, and they cannot embezzle much money. Moreover, with the improvement and popularization of the supervision system, the phenomenon of official corruption in China will continue to decrease in the future.

For the United States, the country is the naked tool of the consortium.The situation in China is not the same. Although the country is also under the manipulation of Jiang Yu, public and private are still clearly distinguished in many cases.It's a bit like America in the second half of the twentieth century.

That is, countries can be rich.But the country's money must be spent, and the main projects that the country spends money on are all covered by consortiums.

Although the consortium has made relatively high profits, the quality of the construction projects spent by the government is guaranteed. [

This forms a good cycle.

Zhao Haizhou also participated in this budget, representing Jiang Yu's will.After Xiong Xiling’s speech, he got up and said: “Because the central government has further increased expenditure, the economic situation next year will be much better than expected, and the industrial value obtained by the central government through the wars against Taiwan and North Korea has not been included in the fiscal Income. It can be seen that there is no fiscal deficit in the central government.”

"It is conservatively estimated that the tax revenue of 38 billion yuan next year will be the most." Xiong Xiling retorted.

Zhao Haizhou said loudly: "That's too conservative. Most of the minerals will be put into production next year. First, the steel output will increase tremendously, which will drive the development of other industries. Next year, the number of workers in the country will exceed [-] million conservatively. At the same time that the output value has increased tremendously, agriculture will also experience a relatively large increase. Moreover, the bank has not urged the government to pay back the money, so why bother with the fiscal deficit, and this is the golden age of China's economic and industrial development, and the government has increased spending It can also enable the country to develop at a faster rate."

The political consultant Morrison whispered something in Yuan Shikai's ear. Yuan Shikai nodded. Yuan Shikai agreed with Zhao Haizhou's opinion with joy on his face and said, "Then increase the expenditure!"

Morrison still agrees with Zhao Haizhou's point of view. He has been in China for a long time and has a great feeling for the changes in China today.

Especially with the outbreak of World War I, and Jiangyu's "warlord oligarch consortium" increasing investment in agriculture year after year, the rapid development of China's economy has become irresistible.

Although increasing government spending may cause a financial crisis, the possibility is relatively small.And Morrison knew that the young generalissimo could not watch the central bank go bankrupt.

Since he wants the central government to spend a lot of money, what is there to be afraid of with the banks behind it?

Next, the central government quickly determined the total fiscal expenditure of China in Yimao, and the budget reached an astonishing 40 billion yuan.

Jiang Yu then submitted to the Central Committee the "Yimao Year China National Defense White Paper, which plans that the army will retain a regular army of 120 million troops, which will be divided into four major military regions: the Northwest Military Region, the Northeast Military Region, the Southwest Military Region, and the Southeast Military Region.

The Northwest Military Region has 80 regular troops, the Northeast Military Region has 20 regular troops, and the Southeast and Southwest Military Regions each have 10 troops.

At the same time, a production corps of 150 million was established.

Among them, there are 65 regular troops of the National Defense Forces of the East China faction, and 80 regular troops of the Beiyang Army, and 25 troops need to be abolished.

The strength of the production corps built by the National Defense Forces has reached 120 million, and an additional 30 troops are needed.

The production corps is equivalent to conscripts and does not need to pay military pay. The army provides board and lodging, and provides cultural education to soldiers.The regular army is paid, but the white paper plans to reduce the pay of ordinary soldiers and adopt a retirement system.

Veterans form the Army Reserve.

The regular army retires 30 ordinary soldiers and some officers every year.Four years later, a reserve force of 120 million was formed.

Four years after this formation, if China breaks out with other countries, it can mobilize at least 4 regular troops into the battlefield, forming a regular army with a scale of 80 million.

The second-line troops formed by the production corps also follow the pattern of retiring a quarter every year. After four years, 150 million second-line reserves will be formed. At least 100 million second-line reserve forces can be mobilized, and 250 million second-line troops can be formed in wartime.

The regular army is expected to complete mechanization within four years and build three heavy howitzer divisions. Therefore, the army will need 5 million Yanhuang coins in military spending in Yimao.

It is also expected that China will have a second large-scale war with Russia in four years. This war will be a counter-offensive war in which China goes deep into Russia.

In order to deal with this war, China must form an army of this size to ensure victory.

At the same time, the Air Force will purchase 2000 aircraft in Yimao, of which 1500 are mosquito bombers. The cost is relatively low, and it can be built by relying on the sale of more than 2000 old aircraft.Another 300 aircraft were four-engine heavy bombers, 200 aircraft were fighters, 100 were modified mosquito bombers, and 100 were aluminum alloy fighters.

And due to the bombing against Japan, the Air Force military expenditure needs to be increased. The Air Force military expenditure needs to be allocated 2 million yuan, and the Navy needs to manufacture at least 3 battleships, 3 cruisers, and 20 frigates, which requires a military expenditure of 15 billion yuan.

In addition, military technology research needs 15 billion yuan, and the total annual military expenditure is 10 billion yuan.

After Yuan Shikai read this white paper, he always felt terrified.

If the military construction is carried out according to this plan, China will undoubtedly become a country with a very strong military power in four years' time.

At that time, China will have a large number of aircraft, artillery, and a preliminary naval force.

What shocked Yuan Shikai the most was that Jiang Yu actually took Russia as his next imaginary enemy, and at the same time intended to invade Russia to fight.

From the hoarding of 80 regular troops in the Northwest Military Region, it can be seen that Jiangyu has always had a strong intention to attack Russia, and will attack Russia directly from the northwest instead of from the northeast.

This goes beyond the recovery of territories.

Yuan Shikai, who no longer cares about the military, directly approved the "Yimao Year China National Defense White Paper" after reading it.

After the military budget is completed, it is the turn of budgets in other fields.
