Chapter 1587: Soha is a kind of wisdom (third update, please subscribe)
A stone stirs up a thousand layers of waves!
At the end of October, although it was not yet time for the annual budget to be released, the military budget was revealed again with the budget review.
"Read newspapers and newspapers, the military budget has increased unprecedentedly. Sources say that the military budget will exceed 20 billion yuan next year! The military budget will explode this year!"
The sales of newspapers at street newsstands When people see someone passing by, they always shout twice to attract people's attention.
Military spending exceeded 20 billion yuan!
This is definitely unprecedented.
The newspaper seller was shouting there, and even the hosts on the TV station were discussing the issue of a surge in military spending with those experts.
"The military expenditure growth rate exceeded 40%, which is extremely rare worldwide. Except for the military expenditure growth rate of some countries before World War II, the number of military expenditure growth rate in some countries has never been compared with that, but it has never been a big deal before. Such a precedent.
From the surge in military budget next year, it can be seen that the military is now in a certain stage of preparation for war."
As soon as one expert finished speaking, another expert retorted there.
"I don't agree with you, but I must figure out a reality. Now it is not the military preparing for war, but the real environment forces us to strengthen our defenses.
Forget the war and be dangerous.
Although we are unwilling to face the war, Professor Wang, we must also consider that the regional situation has become more tense since this year.
From the sea across the sea In the Indochina Peninsula, the war has started to burn and has seriously threatened our interests in Siam, Malaysia and other places.
In Africa, terrorists supported by foreign forces have launched attacks on our farms again and again.
In Jakarta, with the support of the Russians, they are constantly strengthening their arms. It is reported that they are trying to obtain the Scud missile.
Although this missile has a range of only 300km, if improved, it can completely hit our local area from Jakarta. ”
The professor was there in the TV screen, hype of external threats.
What Scud missiles, chemical weapons, and weapons of mass destruction?
Everything seems to indicate that increasing military spending is extremely necessary.
This is for safety.
Of course it is not just because of these factors, but also because there is a factor that is that the world now has more than 5% of military expenditure.
In this case, the military will of course keep up with the world trend.
The arguments between expert commentators on TV are just just arguments.
But for some people, what they see is not the rationality of military expenditure of some country, what they see is threats.
"A full 2.7 billion US dollars."
In the Soviet Representative Office, Lieutenant Colonel Vasily frowned in his brows as he looked at the report in front of him.
"Their military expenditure increased by 50%. Alexey, what do you think they are going to do? Are they really going to invade Hanoi?"
The reason why Hanoi is mentioned is because They had just bombed there a few days ago.
"They have stopped their revenge."
Alexey said calmly.
"Lieutenant Colonel. I think the focus of our current focus should not be how much military expenditure they have increased, but where will they spend their military expenditure?"
"You said It's right," Vasily immediately agreed, after all, something had happened.
"So where do you think they will spend their military expenses?"
"Is it the cost of war? To support their war plans in East Africa and Jakarta."
The reason why they One of the most direct reasons for concern is that money must have a place to go. Since the military spending is increased so much at once, then they will definitely spend their money in certain places.
This is what they are most interested in as intelligence personnel.
"East Africa and Jakarta?" Alexey replied.
"Lt. Colonel, their expenses in this regard are public. As of now, their total military expenditure in both regions has not exceeded $500 million. Their expenses are very limited. After all, they are conducting special operations locally. "
Special operations cannot cost much money. Of course, the premise is that special operations do not upgrade, and once they upgrade to ordinary wars, then Spending money is like flowing. "So how do you explain their increased military expenditure?"
Lieutenant Colonel Vasily said to his subordinates in front of him. "We all know that money must be spent, and there is a place for him.
If it weren't for war funds, where would they spend money?"
He continued after asking this question.
"I personally prefer them to strengthen the military, lieutenant colonel. They just launched an aircraft carrier.
I think they will also build new aircraft carriers, and new aircraft carriers require a large number of auxiliary warships.
Expandation of large destroyers, nuclear submarines, and military bases. These things all cost money. "
Nothing is free, everything costs money, even in the Soviet Union.
"That is, we are under greater pressure on the Pacific and Indian Oceans Now. "
Vasily frowned, and he looked at the photo of the aircraft carrier on the wall, and his expression became even more serious.
"We need to strengthen this and figure out their military expansion plan, especially in the surge in military spending, how much is used to build nuclear submarines and nuclear missiles! This is the most important thing. After all, these things can directly threaten To us."
This is the real survival pressure, and it is also a problem that all countries have to face throughout the Cold War.
Just when Vasily was deploying tasks to his subordinates, he had no idea that the cost of purchasing weapons and equipment was very limited in the surge in military expenditures.
After all, the military's military expansion plan has been steadily advancing and will not suddenly expand its military equipment.
And the vast majority of funds will be used in the "Star Wars Project".
After several months of promotion, sea established a strategic defense initiative to supervise the Star Wars research program, and first invested $200 million in startup funding.
According to the new year's military budget, it includes $900 million in funding. The Star Wars Plan is fully launched.
In terms of funding, the funding received by Sea's Star Wars program is slightly lower than the Star Wars program funding approved by Reagan 19 years later.
But their currency value is completely two concepts. After all, Reagan's $1.4 billion was 1.4 billion in 1984. And now it is 19 years ago, the current $1.1 billion is at least equivalent to $6 billion.
In terms of funding, the sea Star Wars program reached its peak as soon as it was launched. Much more than the United States' investment in this plan.
In fact, the reason why I dare to increase my bargaining chips is because Li Yian is very clear about what the future military building model is?
The future war model is definitely not the kind of steel torrent of World War II, but a high-tech war.
No mistakes, one poem, one post, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one read!
Its lower limit is in Gulf War mode, what is the upper limit?
What is the upper limit? No one knows it, but Li Yian knows it comes from military development. The trend of "high-tech transformation" will continue.
The weapons and equipment developed based on World War II ideas will definitely be phased out throughout the Cold War, the new generation of weapons and equipment, and the new generation of tactical ideas will bring earth-shaking changes to the war.
Whether it is the "tb" investigation drone in the Nagorno-Karabakh War, or the Didi Taxi on the battlefield presented in the Damao Ermao War.
With the development of technology, the war model is destined to undergo earth-shaking changes. In this case, these war theories established in World War II and matured in World War II are destined to be eliminated.
Like a tank, a javelin missile adds a roof to the tank and even adds a layer of turtle shell.
Even so, they still cannot escape the attacks of cheap suicide drones.
The tank worth millions was easily destroyed by suicide drones with a premium price of several thousand dollars.
The King of Land War...that was also yesterday's yellow flower!
So in this case, all Li Yian needs to do is to continue to promote the high-tech transformation of the military.
The Star Wars plan aimed at obtaining a "protective umbrella" is to a certain extent the core of completing the high-tech transformation.
Since this is the case, then the direct Soha High Technology is naturally the most correct choice.
But for this era, they obviously cannot understand Li Yian's spirit of stud.
"Washington is also very concerned about our sudden increase in military expenditures, especially the Pentagon. They really want to know our specific expenditures."
Sun Desheng looked at his Excellency and asked tentatively .
"Do we need to inform the US of the Star Wars plan?"
Even as allies, there are many secrets between them. In many cases, allies are the ones that need to be wary of the most.
It is precisely because of this that the United States has no idea about many of the Sea plans. As for the Star Wars plan, they got some news, but it was only limited to "ballistic missile defense."
Absolutely, Americans would not be curious about this, after all, they also have their own ballistic missile defense plan. As long as you have the ability, everyone is conducting research on this aspect. After all, no one wants to die with others.
But they didn't know how far the Star Wars plan was going. Not to mention them, even the scientists involved, they didn't know.
After all, not everyone can stand on the shoulders of historical giants to point out the direction of development, and even give some technical guidance.
Facing Sun Desheng's inquiry, Li Yian thought for a while and said.
"This year, our military expenditure has increased so much at once, and they will definitely be curious about where we spend our money.
If they cannot dispel this curiosity, they will Constantly coming to peek at us, and in the end they are likely to find something we don’t want them to see.”
At this point, Li Yian thought for a while and asked.
"What do you think is the best confidentiality?"
"The best confidentiality." Sun Desheng thought for a while and replied tentatively.
"Is it a stricter confidentiality measure set up?"
"No!"
Shaking his head, Li Yian said:
"The best confidentiality is to make it public. If we make the information public, will they believe it?"
Will they believe it?
Sun Desheng was silent all of a sudden. When he first learned about the Star Wars plan, he felt that it was unrealistic to be a fantasy.
Even until now, he felt that this plan was really too incredible, but you have never made any mistakes.
How could you make a mistake in this matter?
It is precisely because of this that he supports this plan. "I'm not talking about publicizing the Star Wars plan, but telling them that we're going to spend more money on scientific research and telling them that we're going to continue to increase our spending on scientific research."
Li Yian's lips raised slightly as he spoke and smiled.
"I think they will definitely be shocked. When they know that we chose Soha Technology, after all, Soha is a kind of wisdom. Not everyone has the courage to Soha, not everyone is the only one. All have the wisdom of silly."
