Chapter 1047: I will shoot them

Shangwen was still in a coma at this time, but he was changing from a coma to a coma because he really felt too tired. Shangwen's physique itself is weak. In addition, he does not exercise and has been engaged in mental work for a long time, which has also led to his physique getting worse and worse, and his ability to resist frights and other aspects rapidly declines.

"Idiot, wake up soon." Ying Yu said while looking at Shang Wen.

In the following time. Shang Wen gradually regained consciousness. However, when he woke up, he saw that his left leg was broken. Moreover, there are some skin injuries on the body. Fortunately, Shang Wen has nothing else.

However, Wang Jian, who was returning to Xianyang, complained a little at this time.

"What do you mean by the content of this telegram?" Wang Jian asked the communications officer behind him puzzledly.

"I don't know, sir. This is from the king." The communications officer explained helplessly.

"However, sir, you better look at this." The communications officer handed a newspaper to Wang Jian.

"What does this mean?" Wang Jian asked.

The communications officer only made an action that he would understand after reading the newspaper.

Wang Jian picked up the newspaper and read it.

"The prime minister is going to marry the eldest princess." Wang Jian said.

"That's why... we have such a thing." The communications officer explained.

"Huh." Wang Jian let out a sigh of relief.

"The interests of our military have become victims of political marriage in this way." Wang Jian said.

The communications officer on the side can only nod his head. He expressed his understanding.

"Sir, are we going to make some explanations at the tax collection meeting according to the king's order," the communications officer asked.

"This, of course, we must not only explain, but also formulate detailed countermeasures." Wang Jian said.

"We are only in charge of fighting, and now we have to explain to those representatives. It's really troublesome." As Wang Jian said, the newspaper in his hand was crumpled up. Turn around and leave.

In fact, this kind of state of defense budget expenditure should be a matter for the National Lieutenant's Mansion. Because the National Lieutenant Mansion is a matter for civilian officials to manage military commanders, the general staff should oversee military command and war matters.

The General Staff should not be too involved in such matters. However, the army needs a lot of new weapons at the beginning. For these weapons, the National Lieutenant Mansion did not have too much contact with the military. There is a certain misunderstanding between them, and the army cannot get the weapons it wants. Therefore, the army directly bypassed the National Lieutenant Mansion, and they directly incorporated the plan of military weapons procurement into the staff. The chiefs of staff of each service directly designate the plan, and then report it to the Prime Minister's Mansion through the General Staff, and finally pass it directly to King Qin through the Prime Minister's deliberation.

Although Shangwen has asked for rectification several times, the army and weapons have a direct and close connection. Moreover, the National Lieutenant Mansion lacked such communication. They only have contacts with the general staff. They don't know much about the grassroots units. The current situation in the National Lieutenant Mansion is that the proportion of their civilian officers is much higher than those of military attaches from the grassroots units. From the military attache's point of view, sitting in the office is far less powerful than those officers fighting in the fringe areas. This is the status quo, this is the status quo of Qin's army building. In terms of the civil service management system, Qin still needs some improvement.

At the General Staff, Yang Duanhe was nervously ordering his men to prepare some information. Because they were ordered to make some similar reports at a tax collection meeting. It was the first time they made a report at such a meeting. They didn't know what to say? Therefore, they feel very nervous.

"I really don't know what the **** representatives will say?" Yang Duanhe said.

"Okay. Let's start sorting it out." Yang Duanhe then put down the data in his hands and began to sort the files. They need to give a reasonable explanation.

The tax collection meeting was convened soon. The meeting was set at eight o'clock in the morning on the third day.

However, at the meeting, the first thing that surprised everyone was that. Ying Yu, the eldest princess of the Qin Kingdom pushed Shang Wen into the venue.

"Oh. My goodness. What happened to the prime minister's leg. How did the plaster cast?" a representative said at this time.

"I don't know. What happened?" Another representative asked in surprise.

"I wonder if Her Royal Highness interrupted the Prime Minister's leg." A representative said with a smile.

"Don't talk nonsense." Another representative said.

And Shang Wen was sitting in a wheelchair, smiling constantly at the people around him. Then Yingyu pushed Shangwen to Shangwen's position, and then sat next to Shangwen by herself. And Shang Wen smiled at Ying Yu and expressed his thanks.

"Look. The two are very good match. This is a perfect marriage." A representative said.

"En. The prime minister will have the status of a member of the royal family." An older representative said at this time.

"Bang." At this moment, a group of soldiers appeared on the venue, headed by Wang Jian. Behind are some staff officers. Yang Duanhe, as the undersecretary chief of staff, could not attend the meeting because he needed to be on duty. Deal with some tricky things. The staff officer behind was holding a thick black leather briefcase full of documents.

"Let's prepare. The meeting is about to begin." A representative said, looking at the watch in his hand. This meeting will be extraordinarily important.

"Before starting this meeting, I need to explain the problem with my legs." Shang Wen turned his wheelchair forward and said at this time.

"Someone would definitely wonder if I was overjoyed. I broke my leg." Shang Wen said at this time.

"I think. Maybe so." Shang Wen said.

"That day, after I received this news. I didn't know what happened, but later I knew. I stepped on the empty steps. I just rolled down. I think. I might have forgotten that the earth is still attractive. Now." Shang Wen said with a smile.

"Haha". The people around laughed.

"Okay. My price is a fractured left leg. Now, it is our chief of staff. General Wang Jian Wang, let's start our meeting. We extend a warm welcome to their arrival." Shang Wen made an opening statement at this time.

"Wow." All the people applauded, expressing their welcome to the arrival of the military representatives.

"No matter how these representatives applaud, I won't be happy. I really want to shoot them. Then we don't have to stand here." Wang Jian said to the director of his combat division at this time.

Smiled slightly for the chief on the side. Agree. This is equivalent to a hearing held by Congress, and they will face an exam.

"Thank you everyone. We will officially start the topic." Wang Jian started the topic directly.

"We have heard about the issues discussed in the taxation conference. I know that military spending has remained high for a long time, especially since the reform of the army. This is a very serious problem." Wang Jian said.

"However, behind this problem is not as simple as cutting military expenditures." Wang Jian said directly at this time.

"As for some data, we will not give examples. Those data can only show what happened. However, the problem before everyone's problems has not been explained." At this time, Wang Jian said.

"Qin has expanded a lot of territory, but in fact, we only have more than 250,000 troops. These troops are simply not enough for us to defend such a large area of ​​land. Our national defense and security strategy has been greatly challenged. Qin’s domestic mobile force is less than one brigade. If a war breaks out, the mobile force that Qin can mobilize is only a few thousand troops, can a few thousand troops be able to cope with a war?" Wang Jian asked at this time. Tao.

"No. We can't deal with such a war." Wang Jian said.

"Our country has expanded several times. However, our military strength has been reduced by more than doubled. In order to make up for the shortfall in military strength, we can only work **** weapons. Our troops are equipped with machine guns of a certain scale. Motor vehicles, armored trains, as well as airplanes and armed airships, etc., technical advantages, to a certain extent, make up for our shortcomings in military strength, but this has caused the cost of weapons to be expensive, not only the cost of weapons, we need It takes a certain amount of time to train our soldiers. Soldiers’ training costs remain high, and at the same time, coupled with war costs, this directly leads to high military costs.” Wang Jian analyzed the problem and said.

"We are also making some small-scale efforts to reduce military expenditures under the Prime Minister’s suggestion. However, the fact before our eyes is that Qin’s national defense security has expanded a lot. We face this fact, and this foundation is already there. There is no way to change, what we can do is to save limited capital expenditure. But national security faces new challenges." Wang Jian said.

"You know, the surrounding tribes, countries, and those nomads. They are not friendly to us. I hope to give a place to take these into account. If there is no security, our economy is developed, and we will be threatened by military from remote areas. Regarding these military threats, the only thing we can do is to keep an appropriate scale of arms." Wang Jian said.

"This is the safety of the country. It is the safety of everyone. He can bring safety to our property and lives." Wang Jian said after looking at the surrounding representatives.

"Wow." At this time, the representatives applauded in agreement.

"It seems impossible to cut military spending." A representative said while applauding.

"It's not impossible, it's just that there are fewer cuts." Another representative said.

"I don't know, what will the prime minister do next?" The representative continued at this time. At this time, Shang Wen just used a pen to record. He doesn't have too many opinions on this issue. This is an indisputable fact.
