Chapter 368 Decision

The international situation is changing, and many things are happening in China itself.

First of all, on New Year's Day, the central government issued the "Notice on Rural Work in 1984" and continued to place rural economic policies in the No. 1 document, highlighting the country's emphasis on the rural economy. This No. 1 document once again clarified that this year What the rural economy needs to do.

The second is the further improvement of "one country, two systems", which demonstrates China's efforts in peaceful reunification. ‘One country, two systems’ is just eight words, but it is an exploration of wisdom.

What’s more, the Patent Law has finally been implemented!

The impact of the Patent Law is very far-reaching. After the Patent Law was officially implemented, various companies under the Panshan Group submitted more than 200,000 patent applications.

However, the one that has a greater impact is undoubtedly the economic cooperation between China and Japan. Both sides agreed to establish the "China-Japan Friendship Committee for the 21st Century", and the Japanese government decided to provide China with a second batch of long-term low-income loans worth 470 billion yen in seven years. interest loan.

Finally, there is the major event that has attracted the attention of the whole country recently, which is the further opening of 14 coastal port cities from north to south, as a new important step in my country's opening up to the outside world.

After leaving the Ordnance Industry Corporation, Liu Tao returned to the courtyard and took his whole family to apply for ID cards.

Starting from April, the resident identity card system will be implemented nationwide.

Liu Tao is involved in the ID card. A small ID card records the identity information of a citizen.

Every city and county across the country has a computer that records citizens' information when applying for ID cards.

In addition to photos of citizens, fingerprints are also collected.

We are not connected to the Internet yet, but it will be more useful when we are connected to the Internet.

Just after applying for his ID card and returning home, Liu Tao received a call and hurriedly left with the guard and went to the Jingxi Hotel to attend the meeting.

A symposium is being held in the conference hall.

Everyone was deeply impressed: on the basis of several reorganizations of the army, we will reduce the number of personnel by another 1 million!

He made the astonishing conclusion that a world war would not be fought within more than ten years. He said: "Since we have seen this clearly, we no longer need to spend more money on defense expenditures. We need to free up more money for construction. We can make this decision. determination."

"Even if war breaks out, we must 'reduce the swelling'!" The attitude is very determined.

Regarding the 'swelling issue', in the past ten years, he has spoken at conferences, small meetings, groups, and individuals, dozens of times!

"Streamlining the troops does not mean reducing the combat effectiveness of the troops. On the contrary, it means improving the combat effectiveness of the troops." "Look at what has happened in just a few years. In addition to the three combined brigades of the Panshan Group, our troops have the Type 80 There are 60 main battle tanks, 50 Type 80 self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, and more than a thousand Type 81 light tanks, Type 81 medium tanks, and Type 81 infantry fighting vehicles. Our armored forces seem to have fewer tanks and armored vehicles than before, but we The combat effectiveness has been greatly improved.”

"Facts have proved that in the face of weapons generation differences, quantity is not as good as quality. Our Type 59 tank was destroyed by one shot before it even discovered the Type 81 light tank and Type 81 medium tank." He said slowly: "By streamlining one million troops, the military expenditure we save can be used to purchase more advanced weapons."

"Look now, the Army is coveting Type 80 main battle tanks and Type 80 self-propelled anti-aircraft guns. Due to limited funds, it has to purchase more Type 81 medium tanks and Type 81 light tanks. And the Navy has no funds to purchase Type 022 missile boats, The Type 022 torpedo boats and Type 054 frigates can only be paid in installments on credit with the Panshan Group. The first ship of the Type 052 destroyer costs 2 billion yuan, and the country has to withhold tax.”

The military representatives who originally had objections lowered their heads one by one.

Facts speak louder than words!

This symposium is to personally do ideological work for the senior cadres of the army, and also to make everyone understand that this is for the development of the country and to enhance the combat effectiveness of the army.

The next few days of meetings continued to advance.

This streamlining of the troops has been in the works since last year, and the preliminary preparations have been very detailed.

One million troops were streamlined, many troops were reorganized, and the army was reorganized into the group army. This was a major adjustment!

There is even a detailed timetable.

Everyone must follow the schedule. The entire troop reduction work will last for a year and a half. The troops will be slimmed down, but the streamlined troops must be resettled as much as possible.

On this day, the United Nations General Assembly was broadcast live on TV.

Solemnly announce to the world: "The Chinese government has decided to reduce the number of troops in the army by 1 million!"

Everyone in the entire conference was stunned.

one million! ?

How many countries have a population of less than one million, yet China actually wants to disarm one million people! ?

The Soviet Union, the United States and other countries all stared wide-eyed.

Is the rabbit crazy? ?

Disarmament by one million! ?

Now everyone is gearing up and spitting at each other every now and then. The difference is nothing more than a trigger.

China actually wants to disarm one million people! ?

If a polar bear roars, the torrent of steel will directly drown it! ?

However, this decision made most peace-loving countries applaud and cheer. Peace-loving countries all over the world are very excited at this moment.

In recent years, peaceful people all over the world have been working hard for peace, traveling among countries, hoping to bring peace and development to the world, but in the past few years, China has done the best.

From 1979 to now, plus the present, there have been three disarmament cuts, and almost three million troops have been laid off!

After this reduction of 1 million troops in China, there are only 3.3 million troops left! This is simply setting an example and making efforts for world peace and development.

For a time, countless peace-loving people had a favorable impression of China.

After all, in the context of years of international disarmament debate but with no results, and with the two superpowers, the Soviet Union and the United States, openly disarmament and covertly expanding their armaments, China's efforts for world peace are obvious to all.

This time, the decision to reduce the number of troops by one million people was like thunder on the ground, shocking the world and attracting global attention.

Liu Tao watched the live TV broadcast and was filled with admiration. Even though he knew it, he was still shocked when the announcement was made firmly and forcefully.

What a courageous decision!

And history has proven that this decision is very correct.

Only by streamlining the army and using China's national strength can we talk about building a modern army and can we hope to build a mechanized army.

Otherwise, we may not be able to build a mechanized force in fifty or even one hundred years.
