Chapter 2886
After the founding of the country, Haihan issued a variety of bonds in the official name, but the purpose of raising funds was mostly for infrastructure projects. For example, the railway project from Changhua to Danzhou on the west coast of Hainan Island, the reconstruction and expansion project of Zhoushan Dinghai Port, the development of Anshan iron ore, etc. have all issued bonds in the name of project construction funds, and the sales have been quite good.
After all, Haihan’s business capabilities are obvious to all, and he has official endorsement and stable income. If you have spare money on hand, buy some bonds and put them aside. The income will be at least higher than bank deposits. Many people regard it as a reliable low-risk investment. channel.
Even for the capital relocation plan that will be gradually implemented in the next few years, Haihan will also issue special bonds to reduce the financial pressure caused by numerous infrastructure projects.
However, there was no precedent for issuing special bonds solely to raise military expenses for military operations. It was difficult for Yan Chujie to accurately assess the risk of this plan for a while.
"You have a good idea, but regarding the issuance of war bonds, you should have brought it up when you were in Sanya, so that Schneider could at least evaluate the feasibility." Yan Chujie was still somewhat dissatisfied with the timing of Qian Tiandun's plan. Even if this plan is feasible, the relevant information will still have to be reported back to Sanya, and in the end it will have to be implemented by Schneider's department.
Qian Tiandun said: "Ned has already evaluated its implementation, but he said it would have to wait for the Ministry of Defense's nod first. By the way, he thinks it is feasible to raise funds through the issuance of bonds."
"Okay! Then you should have talked to more than just Schneider in private, right?" Yan Chujie was a little dumbfounded after hearing this. It was obvious that Qian Tiandun's proposal of this plan was not an impromptu idea, but had been prepared for it. Maybe before that, more support had been quietly won over from the executive committee.
Qian Tiandun said: "Chen Yixin sent a telegram from Liaodong, and Lao Bai should also support my plan."
Schneider and Baikes, one in charge of money and the other in charge of arms manufacturing, nodded their heads, which was naturally a great help to Qian Tiandun.
If the issues of military expenditure and armaments can be properly resolved, then of course Yan Chujie, the military leader, has no need to oppose this plan.
Yan Chujie said: "As for Xingdao and Manila, you should have been convinced, right?"
Qian Tiandun said: "As long as I have a way to solve the problem of military expenditure and armaments, and win the support of the Ministry of National Defense, they will be willing to join. If you and Lao Feng nod, I will send a telegram to them and arrange a time for a meeting as soon as possible. Coordinate the dispatch of troops.”
When Qian Tiandun said this, it seemed that everything was ready and all he needed was the east wind.
After the short meeting, under the leadership of Takahashi Minami, several people went to inspect the temporary residence of the special operations division.
Looking at the scene of half camp and half construction site, the work will not be completed for a while, Yan Chujie can't help but worry about the combat effectiveness of the special operations division: "Old Qian, if you use the special forces as engineers here, will it affect their training? Arrangement?”
Qian Tiandun responded: "The impact is certainly unavoidable, but at least the camp area must be completed first so that the brothers can move from tents to barracks. If more professional engineers can be mobilized to help, the progress should be accelerated a lot. .”
Feng Anan knew that Qian Tiandun's words were meant for him, so he couldn't pretend to be deaf and dumb in front of Yan Chujie, so he had no choice but to express his position at the moment: "I'll say hello to Mu Zhennan and Wu Chengzhi later and ask them to send Some engineers will come over to help. In addition, Qiu Zhiguo will also organize some migrant workers to complete the camp project here as soon as possible." Qian Tiandun saw the results of the misfortune, so he thanked Feng Anan and motioned to Gao Qiaonan to pull the people out to show his strength. .
Takahashi Minami understood and immediately ordered to assemble a company and bring all the equipment for a military skill demonstration.
When Feng Annan saw that the soldiers of this company were assembled, he stopped the display and went forward to carefully inspect their weapons and equipment.
"I've long heard that the special warfare division's equipment is good, but I didn't expect it to be so good!" Feng Annan clicked his tongue repeatedly, with a hint of sourness in his tone.
As one of the units with the most outstanding combat achievements in the Haihan Army, the weapons and equipment of the Special Operations Division have always been equipped according to the highest standards, far superior to those of ordinary units. Even the Marine Corps is a special operations force, and its equipment is still slightly inferior.
In addition to the most conspicuous new model rifles, the other equipment on these soldiers are also all high-end. Individual soldier equipment that can carry various combat supplies, rubber-soled combat boots, and pistols for every officer above the squad leader, are all good things that ordinary troops do not have.
What made Feng Annan even more envious was that this infantry company was also equipped with a machine gun and two sniper rifles. This means that this company has at least one machine gun squad and one sniper team. In ordinary troops, battalion-level combat units are often qualified to be equipped with these equipment.
After all, special arms such as machine gunners and snipers not only need to be equipped with expensive special weapons, but their daily training costs are also astonishingly high, and they must rely on long-term uninterrupted live ammunition shooting to maintain combat capabilities. The military expenditures consumed by an ordinary company for a month of live-fire training are often not enough for one training of these special arms. The grassroots troops simply cannot afford to support these gold-eating beasts.
Takahashi Minami introduced to them that the entire company was divided into three infantry platoons, a firepower platoon and a service platoon. The machine gun squad and sniper team were all organized under the firepower platoon. The service arrangement includes cooking, military supplies, communications, medical and health care, baggage and other functions. The establishment of the entire company is generally kept between 180 and 200 people. There are also at least five carriages and pack horses, as well as ten horses for reconnaissance operations and battlefield communications.
In addition, under special circumstances, the company can also temporarily configure an artillery squad to use an 85mm caliber light field gun to complete heavy firepower output.
The equipment level and troop strength of the special operations division are much stronger than those of ordinary troops. As a high-ranking member of one party, Feng Anan's troops have more troops than combat divisions, but from what he can see, the combat effectiveness is obviously not at the same level.
"Old Qian, if your company is brought to the battlefield, can it deal with thousands of enemy troops?" Feng Annan asked enviously.
Qian Tiandun smiled and said: "Based on our combat experience in Liaodong, if we rely on fortifications to fight defensive warfare, it will be no problem to deal with an enemy ten times stronger. The current shortcoming is that the maneuverability is far from enough. We lack horses in battle, and we have no ships in naval battle. We must rely on the assistance of friendly forces to complete rapid maneuvers. It will be great when we can make up for these shortcomings!”
Yan Chujie said: "Stop talking, don't you know how much military expenditure this special warfare division spends a year? It also needs horses and ships, so the military budget must not explode!"
