Chapter 1864 One mouthful is worth a hundred billion
The battle between sea and land exists among the military forces of many countries and regions in Blue Star.
Even if some countries are deep inland and are protected by Shang Sanchang, they will still retain their naval configuration.
The depth of the inland will give the country confidence. The strength of sea power is the most important barrier to economic, commercial and cultural exchanges.
It’s just that these two families are arguing and arguing, but they have forgotten that the real treatment is what the land and sea are.
After listening to the arguments of these big bosses for a while, the senior Air Force officer in a corner building, like a gentleman, gently raised the brim of his hat and said: "Our Space Force is focusing on transformation and upgrading. The Air Force and the Space Force The total budget request for the Air Force in fiscal year 1028 of the Xiayin celestial calendar is US$225 billion, an increase of only US$10 billion from fiscal year 1027. , an increase of 8%. Now that this change has occurred, our budget should also increase."
Air Force Secretary Frank pointed to the Jiuzhou Technology Starship on the screen and said: "We must develop to cope with the current situation. To support the capabilities required by threats, we must accelerate modernization to deal with high-end warfare.
We need to. It is necessary to vigorously produce and purchase B-21 bombers, promote land-based strategic deterrence projects and next-generation air superiority concepts, accelerate the development and testing of advanced sensors, flexible communications and aircraft, and purchase more F-15EX fighter jets and KC-46 aerial tankers. , MH-139 helicopter, etc.
We want to provide enhanced current and future. To develop space combat capabilities, develop future space domain sensing technology, pay close attention to satellites launched by other forces, and scan potential threats beyond the sky.
To complete these tasks, we must have enough outstanding engineers. High-precision equipment, so we need to increase the budget, 225 billion US dollars is not enough!
According to the current project urgency, we need US$350 billion! And reserve the right to add again! ”
As soon as the figure of 350 billion US dollars came out, the atmosphere in the conference room became silent.
What does this number represent?
Mumbai’s area is about 4,300 square kilometers. With a population of approximately 21 million, it is one of the top ten super cities in the world. As the most developed city in Indo, a large eastern country, In the year 1025 of the Xiayin celestial calendar, Mumbai's total GDP only reached 350 billion US dollars, accounting for about 9% of Indo's total GDP.
In other words, the Air Force will eat it in one bite Only with one-tenth of the GDP can I barely eat enough, and even reserve the right to increase the amount (additional meals) in the future...
And this is still the GPD value, not the funds that are actually retained in official hands.
If this money is converted to a medium-sized country, such as South Philippines, with a territory of 1.221 million square kilometers and a population of about 51.77 million, its total GDP will only reach 350 billion US dollars.< br>
In the war between the three services, the Air Force will swallow up a South Philippines in one bite.
The total budget is only so much. If you bite off too much, others will naturally have to cut back on food and clothing.
But in the future where there will obviously be great turmoil, cutting back on food and clothing now means that your camp will eat less and build less muscle mass. If you want to train muscles in the future, you will suffer a loss. Bang!
A thick hairy hand slapped the solid wood desk.
A big boss of the Army, with a fierce look in his eyes and his rosacea, shouted: "You can say 350 billion US dollars!? Everyone knows you are empty-handed. The nobles are so extravagant that a helmet costs tens of thousands of dollars!
The transformation direction of our army is to be versatile and versatile! In the face of the changing global security environment and emerging threats, traditional single combat capabilities are no longer enough to cope with the complex and ever-changing battlefield environment. Therefore, transformation has become an inevitable choice.
We don’t want more, 3500. We don’t dare to open the hole of 100 million U.S. dollars! To be honest, we only want 280 billion U.S. dollars!”
When the air force man heard this, he laughed angrily.
“Your budget for fiscal year 1026 is only US$185.9 billion, and now it will rise to US$280 billion? An increase of nearly US$100 billion in two or three years? What? Your Pacific Deterrence Initiative The PDI request only cost 1.5 billion US dollars. Do you want to put the extra 100 billion in the gas tank? "
"How many people do you have in the Army who are withdrawing every year? How dare you take it? So much budget? Our budget for the first two years was only US$257.6 billion. In this situation, we don’t need much. This year it will increase to US$300 billion!
Procurement funds, personnel salaries, and research and development will increase to US$300 billion next year! Funding and military construction funds need to be increased! ”
There has been no large-scale war in the interior in modern times, which has led to the Army being like Uncle Sam’s concubine. Although there is some care, it is not much.
As a hegemonic country that relied on sea power to attack and suppress for a while, the navy and air force are naturally the legitimate sons.
No matter how much they are valued, this one is 300 billion U.S. dollars, and the other is 350 billion U.S. dollars, which add up to 6,500 U.S. dollars. And no matter how unfavored the Army is, it must be given some amount.
Uncle Sam looked at this one on the left and that one on the right. Listening to these numbers, he felt dizzy.
In addition to these three major organizations, there are also some high-level institutions that have similar applications and demands.
Every starting point is very accurate, it is for national security!
"Jiuzhou Technology, Suiren Company and other technology companies are recruiting a large number of engineers. Now the salary of outstanding engineers has doubled compared to ten years ago. If we want to build the best team of scientists and engineers on the planet, we must also use this method. The highest salary on the planet!"
"The top priority is that we must develop a radar system that can detect the enemy and upgrade the old equipment. The US$50 billion allocation must be received as soon as possible.”
“Perhaps we should also set up a real mecha department. Kyushu Technology’s combat mechas already have a very large international influence. Not only in small-scale military exercises, but also in large-scale army battle exercises, or in urban special exercises, combat mechas perform very well."
"I. Agreeing to form a mecha department, Daxia will place mechas under the command of the Anxi military. Our army can also select corresponding mecha intelligent talents and mecha driving talents. At the same time, mecha R&D and parts manufacturing, manufacturer bidding , they can also take full responsibility and only need 100 billion US dollars to carry out operations."
"The army also has combat mechas? Our air force is the one who fights. The most suitable army for mechas is that we can rely on our strong air transportation capabilities to airdrop combat mechas to all parts of the world, allowing us to achieve global multi-level, multi-scale and multi-method strikes. Moreover, the physical fitness requirements of mecha pilots are very high. The ability to adapt to the acceleration of gravity cannot be achieved by ordinary military personnel. Only our best fighter pilots can do it.”
