"These are two world powers!" Wang Jitong still did not return to normal from the shock that Britain would also participate in the war, and sighed.

"Xu, there's nothing to be afraid of." Yang Rui smiled. "First, both countries think that this is just a local naval battle. Britain has not mobilized at all, and the United States is also half-hearted in mobilization. Another thing, as long as we control the ocean, then Britain is really not afraid. The only thing we worry about is the United States. They may know that aircraft carriers are the future of the navy, but how to fight a new naval battle and how to deal with a new naval battle, no matter whether they are clear or not, they are still far from it. The last one is that in the newly compiled war budget table of the General Secretary, our national strength can fully support this war, which is nothing more than hard. By the way, Guangting will arrive in the evening, so you can listen to his report with me."

The two kings in front of Yang Rui fully agreed, but he didn't believe that the three East Asian countries could defeat Britain and the United States alone. However, when he saw the total military budget for war, he felt a little confused. This was not a standard table, but a general military budget for military expenditure. Obviously, Zhou Sixu had already summarized the account data in the two safes.

Total military expenditure:…17.6…46…600.1…599.1…574.1…554.1…544.1…544.1

After submitting the concise military expenses to Yang Rui and Wang Jitong, Zhou Sixu said, "Based on the combat plan of the Joint Staff, the students basically inferred the combat military expenses required for each year. The basic setting data comes from the last war, as well as the war in East Africa and many reminders from Mr. He. So the data obtained is just a general reference and is not accurate. But I believe that even if there is an error, it is within our controllable range.

The highest military expenditure in the total table is the 30th year of Shenwu and the 31th year of Shenwu. But the highest is 60 billion. From this we can see that with the national strength of the Three Kingdoms, war can be borne by itself. The only worry is that after the 32th year of Shenwu, the annual military expenditure will still be more than 55 billion. If the war is dragged on for a long time, national strength will probably be difficult to support."

"How many people do you have?" Wang Jitong was not as clear as Yang Rui as the meaning of each number. The most basic thing was that he didn't even know the size of his army. He only saw that the annual military pay for the next few years was 4.67 billion.

"Sir, it is estimated that all the people who lead the military pay will be 27 million." Zhou Sixu replied, "No less than six million of them are migrant workers. In addition, those who occupy the land of military pay are not included."

"So many people?" Wang Jitong was surprised.

"Yes. Mr. Xu." He then looked at Yang Rui again and said, "Excluding the migrant workers with a monthly salary of 8 yuan, the average monthly salary of 21 million yuan is 15 yuan for the remaining 21 million yuan, and there is still one month's salary."

"Fifteen yuan?" Wang Jitong was startled. The monthly salary of soldiers of the Fuxing Army was only three or four yuan, but now they suddenly jumped to fifteen yuan. "Will everyone run to join the army?"

"Yes," Zhou Sixu lowered his head. He looked at Yang Rui with a smile. He said: "Mr. Xu, fifteen yuan is the highest average. According to the battlefield, the number of battles, and the results, the actual number of payments will definitely not reach 4.67 billion. The soldiers' salaries were deposited directly into the soldier's bank account very early. The money may not be paid in real terms."

"Xu shouldn't care about salary. Soldiers can only work hard. The Japanese are so high, but the Asian bank will give him the money as much as possible. It is their own business for the Japanese soldiers to pay more and less." Yang Rui knew that **** would definitely drink soldiers' blood, so the bureaucratic countries don't drink soldiers' blood? But he didn't care and could not care. "The food and clothing cost is also very high. For example, the daily food cost of soldiers is 50 cents. I originally had to be one yuan a day..."

"It turns out that you are not fighting, you are doing good deeds, right?" Wang Jitong finally couldn't sit still. The agriculture is prosperous, the transportation is convenient, and the food prices in the country are extremely low. Take the army. Before, each soldier had a normal meal fee of only two yuan. He went to the Beijing restaurant to eat thirty meat dumplings, a plate of fried mutton, four taels of old white dried glutinous rice, only one cent and five cents. This is still in the capital, and there are only one cents in other places. Now the soldiers' food is 5 cents a day, which is not fifteen yuan in this month! After he stood up, he felt that he was out of control and sat down again, but he said, "The representatives of the Jiyi Academy must object to such a high salary and such a high food."

"It's not just high salary, high food, and high cost." Yang Rui smiled disapprovingly. "Each soldier costs 80 yuan per year. In the first year, it's not much money, but it's more every year. I haven't figured out how to spend this money, but in short, the soldiers have to spend it well, eat it well, and wear it well."

"Eighty yuan is too much. A good set of four-pound cotton coats costs only seven or eight yuan." Wang Ji Tongdao. He didn't hear clearly that it was '80 yuan a year', not 80 yuan at a time.

"Mr. Xu, do you want to make coats for every soldier, as well as cold-proof down jackets, and you don't need cotton coats at all." Zhou Sixu smiled bitterly, not knowing whether it was adding fuel to the fire or complaining.

"What do you know!" Yang Rui contempts, "If the soldiers don't let them behave like a person, they feel that they will never live in vain in their lives. How can the army have a sense of honor? If you have to spend money, you should eat better than ordinary rich people, and you should wear beautifully and decent clothes. This soldier makes people feel worthy! It is worth dying! The Japanese are willing to wear rags and eat the kind of dried fish that cannot be bitten even if they can't bite, so let him go. When our soldiers go out, they must think about personal things, and don't think that if you don't treat the soldiers, it will be useless."

After Zhou thought, Yang Rui looked at Wang Jitong again, "The military pay is not enough. The food is 50 cents, but fresh meat, fruits and vegetables are indeed high. But the soldiers have to transport fresh meat, fruits and vegetables to North America in a refrigerator. They also have to let the soldiers have cigarettes, tea, sugar, wine, and hometown food every day. This is not high. There is also a new bulletproof vest in the gear that is only 26.5 yuan and a new coat costs 23 yuan per piece, and combat boots are also expensive. Other steel helmets, gas masks, field uniforms, and rubber shoes are not worth it. Considering that the down jacket is not fighting in the cold area, you can be equipped again in the second year..."

"Sir, it's 80 yuan a year!" Zhou Sixu reminded. "When the first five million people enlisted in the army landed in the United States, three were already 80 yuan. The other five million people also had two 80 yuan."

"Don't remind me." Yang Rui was not angry. He was a little displeased. Zhou Sixu supported the Japanese in terms of soldiers' cost. "Xu. There are so many food and clothing costs, but the representatives of the judiciary will agree. Look at the table. It is all equipped with ammunition and oil. Does this have anything to do with those representatives? Only those representatives of food and clothing costs can get money from several orders, and they will agree."

Yang Rui seemed to make some sense. Ordinary merchants were indeed unable to benefit from the equipment, ammunition, oil and materials purchased by the army. Wang Jitong thought, and Zhou Sixu had already spoken and continued to explain. He said: "The supply and clothing project also includes 20 yuan per person per year for medical expenses, this..." He thought that this was too much, but Yang Rui looked at him and quickly went to the next item.

"The army combat troops have a total of 600 divisions, totaling more than 9 million people. Among them, there are 400 infantry divisions, 100 infantry divisions, and 100 armored divisions. The total cost of arming these 600 divisions is 102888 million. In addition, there are 4.5 billion merchant ships, 1.5 billion trucks, 400 million landing boats, 400 million firearms of guard troops, 500 million containers and related unloading machinery. The total army equipment is actually 17.5888 million, which is estimated to be 18 billion."

While Zhou Sixu handed over a handwritten unit price list of army weapons, the prices of large-scale equipment and weapons were all above.

Yang Rui didn't look at the others, only looked at the chariots and armored vehicles, and then the rifles. He saw that the semi-automatic rifle had dropped to 68 yuan and was no longer anything. The number of guns required was indeed huge, but in fact, it didn't cost much to configure the gun. The really expensive things were trucks, armored vehicles, and combat vehicles. When the price of the meow-style chariot was reduced to less than 60,000 yuan, he smiled and said, "The price of the meow has finally been grounded down by you."

The Meow Style was 80,000 yuan per vehicle. Two and a half times the Wolf Style. Whether Yang Rui or the General Manager thought the price was too high. Yang Rui thought it must be reduced to less than 60,000 yuan, so the protracted negotiation began. Thinking of the difficult negotiations, Zhou Sixu smiled bitterly, and he said: "At that time, even if the depreciation was equally distributed with a total of 100,000 yuan, the price was still more than 60,000 yuan. Finally, I thought of many ways to simplify some processes. The price was reduced to less than 60,000 yuan."

"Will the quality and quality decrease?" Yang Rui asked. The principle of meow-style design is that it is easy to produce. If it is simple, you don't know where to simplify it, so he is worried about performance decrease.

"No." Zhou Sixu shook his head. "The depreciation is more than 61,000 yuan per person. The simplified processes and affect performance. In addition, the factory makes a part of the profit, and if one profit is reduced, it will be 600 yuan less."

After depreciation was spread to the total order volume, the profit of the military factory was also determined to be 15%. Seeing that only one of the profits of the factory were reduced, Yang Rui was fine, he asked. "The total equipment of the army was 18 billion, but on your total table..."

The army equipment cost on the total table is only a few billion a year, so Yang Rui couldn't understand it. Unexpectedly, Zhou Sixu had nothing to say, but Wang Jitong said, "This is a part of the equipment every year." He then said, "Did Shenwu land in the United States in the 31st year?"

After Wang Jitong reminded Yang Rui that he had turned his mind, it was obvious that the army equipment fee for the four years before the war was 17 billion. Considering that there were already a lot of weapons before the war, the difference of 1 billion was not a problem. Zhou Sixu said: "Yes, Mr. Xu. The General Staff's plan was to land in North America in the summer of the 31st year of Shenwu."

"Summer?!" Yang Rui and Wang Jitong were both surprised. Wang Jitong was surprised that summer was the season of frequent typhoons. Why did the General Staff choose to land in summer? Yang Rui was surprised that the summer landing. Then the maximum cost of 4 billion equipment in this year can only be half, 140, and 15 billion troops will probably be incompletely equipped; and the landing time will be set for the 31st year of Shenwu. The war has been fought for four years, no wonder the General Staff believes that the war will be fought for seven years.

After understanding the concerns of the two gentlemen, Zhou Sixu first answered Wang Jitong, saying: "Mr. Xu doesn't know that the seasons in the Eastern Pacific are exactly the opposite of us. We have many storms in summer and calm waves in autumn and winter. They have many storms in winter and calm waves in summer. Considering that North America is northerly and the temperature in summer is not too high, it is different from landing in Panama. The General Staff believes that it should land in North America in summer."

After answering Wang Jitong, he answered Yang Rui: "Sir, the General Staff is considering that the troops cannot be displaced after they go up, so equipment is not a big problem. If there are 300 divisions coming up, it would be thankful. The subsequent 300 divisions can take a step forward..."

"Since that's the case, why should we put it in the 31st year of Shenwu?" Yang Rui asked, "Give Americans an extra year, and the difficulty of landing will double. After taking Panama, the Americans saw that we were still building ships on a large scale, and they would definitely know that we were going to land in North America, and this matter could not be hidden."

"Sir, if you have a year in advance, you will have insufficient momentum." Zhou Sixu said, "With national strength limited, we can only arm 600 divisions in four years. The General Staff believes that it is better to prepare for one more year than give the United States one or half a year of reaction time after the firefight. Once the firefight is exchanged, it is necessary to fight forward like a broken sword, and you cannot wait. Meow style can only be used when landing in North America. You can only use wolf and mouse chariots before it is used, and it is best not to use blitz tactics before landing."

"I agree." Hearing the mouse Yang Rui, he laughed. This is an electric-driven combat vehicle weighing more than 100 tons. The purpose is to attract countries around the world to the wrong way that lack reliable electric-drive technology. The only ones that can build infantry combat vehicles with extremely slow speed, poor climbing, and stable and bad stability. The tungsten-core armor-piercing bombs fired by the Meow 85mm tank cannon can completely explode the front armor of these heavy combat vehicles by 100 or 150 mm. But Yang Rui was also worried. He said: "I'm afraid that Germany will start the war first. He fought a blitzkrieg in Europe, and the US Army must be equipped with the armored division."

"Sir. So what if the United States has an armored division?" Zhou Sixu asked back: "You cannot grasp the essence of armored war without experiencing actual combat. Judging from the situation where the 7th Mechanized Cavalry Brigade of the United States jointly configures combat chariots and cavalry, they are afraid that they cannot even master the correct configuration of the armored division, and the combat regulations are even more... "

As an old man, Zhou Sixu knew very well how much effort he had spent on armored warfare. In his opinion, combat is the optimal integration of weapons, configurations, methods (documents), and resources. The combat regulations of the armored division are the sop standard procedure documents in factory management, and they have written measures to deal with various situations, and each combat regulations are condensed by blood, sweat, and corpses.

Only by constantly trying and error can we get the right method, and eventually evolve into combat regulations. But having a single order is not enough, it is just that soldiers respond to war with their personal efforts. The most powerful thing about the army is that the response to war is not only reflected in individuals, but also in weapons, configuration and resources. In other words, this is the active response of the entire war system to war.

In order to better reflect this, the structure of the army is more like an industrial company than a simple military unit. Taking the Armored Division as an example, in addition to combat officers and logistics officers, there are special production managers, quality managers, and product managers wandering throughout the battlefield. The first two discuss the "five whys" with staff and officers at all levels. They analyze previous operations and marches from a management perspective, and prepare new sop documents (documents) for the troops; the latter is responsible for collecting feedback on the use of the products they are responsible for on-site. After summarizing these feedbacks to engineers, it is thanks to the flexible production system connected to the fax network. Most of the suggestions can be quickly reflected in the new products.

The mass circle formed by the PDA cycle makes the entire army an organism that can continuously adjust its huge bones (weapons) and movements (doctrines). Repeatedly deal fatal blows to opponents, and what does the US Army have?

From the end of the European war to the thirty-one of Shenwu, they only invested 167,000 US dollars to armored forces. At the same time, from the end of the European war to the thirty-four years of Shenwu, the US Army only produced thirty-five chariots. Apart from these figures, the American cavalry and cavalry directors' constraints on the armored divisions, the bureaucracy of the entire military, and the various military-industrial enterprises' actions, so it would be impossible for it to have a good armored division, and it would be even more difficult to form a war organism before piles of corpses appeared. It was because of this that the General Staff decided to prepare to land again. They believed that under the blow of a hundred armored divisions, the armored division could wash its military boots in the Mississippi River by the end of the year.

When Zhou's thoughts were slightly distracted, what Yang Rui thought of was the Battle of Keseling Mountain Pass in World War II. This battle to wake up the US Army played a huge role in the construction of the armored division after the US Army, which made him more persist in his view: some battles were also lost, while others were the opposite, but they were the winner.

"The army's equipment is like this, ammunition..." Zhou Sixu continued to explain the general table, but instead of continuing the naval equipment, he jumped to the army's ammunition. "We estimate that after the landing starts, we will consume 200 million shells of various caliber every year, and at the same time, 9 billion shells of various guns and bullets. Based on the average of 30 large shells, and every 1,000 shells of fifty rounds of bullets, six billion shells and four or five billion shells will be consumed every year. Considering other weapons such as grenades, explosives, rockets, cruise rockets and other weapons, it is basically determined that the army's annual combat ammunition fee is 7.5 billion. Because the landing is in summer, it was counted as six billion that year."

The unit price of ammunition is also on the weapon price list, and there were ammunition fees in the past few years before landing, so Yang Ruitou said, "No problem."

"The annual Navy equipment fee is 6 billion, while the previous calculations were 5555 and 555 million. However, because the aircraft carrier armor borrowed the Iceberg Plan, it is now replacing the original expensive composite armor with ice armor. In the future, the composite armor will be used on combat vehicles and aircraft." Zhou Sixu said. Obviously, there is good news here.

"Ice armor?" Yang Rui smiled. He also hated the compound armor of more than 30 million. He didn't want an ice armor to appear here.
To be continued...
