Chapter 1019 The Han Army’s Horrifying Military Expenditures
Everyone looked indifferent as the Finance Minister rushed towards Lu Yulin with all his teeth and claws.
If nothing else, Lu Yulin is the third-ranking figure in the Han army.
This No. 3 is not only because Lu Yulin is close to Liu Wu and holds military power, but also because of his personal strength.
Among the Han troops, it is recognized that Liu Wu is first, Lu Shu is second, Lu Yulin is third, and Ouyang Sheng is fourth.
Therefore, everyone still feels sorry for the Minister of Finance.
How could he, a 'weak scholar', beat Lu Yulin?
However, what happened next left everyone stunned.
Not because of anything else, but because the Finance Minister actually chased Lu Yulin.
Of course, the most important thing is that Lu Yulin never fought back.
This is very strange!
At this moment, no matter how stupid everyone is, they know that there is something fishy about this reform plan.
What the hell is this?
Everyone picked up the plan and looked at it carefully, and found no problems from beginning to end.
Because no matter how they look at it, this military reform is essentially about saving money!
Of course, some people see the problem.
These people are familiar with military affairs and have even seen the Shenji Battalion of the Han Army.
One thing to say, this Shenji Battalion and Shenji Guards are indeed very powerful.
But now it seems that this is not only very powerful, but also very expensive.
Otherwise, the Minister of Finance would not act like he wanted to fight Lu Yulin.
"enough!"
Lu Shu took action and stopped the two of them.
"Sit down and tell me something!"
Obviously, Lu Shu was also frightened by this reform plan.
If this is changed, the Han army will really become militaristic!
The two separated, and the finance minister immediately cried.
"Da Jijiu, Lu Jijiu, tell me, are there any such bullies?"
The finance minister cried and pointed at the reform plan.
"Look at how sincere the military department's reforms are. It seems to be saving military expenses for our Han army."
"But their little thoughts can't be hidden from me!"
"This brigade needs a divine machine battalion, and each battalion needs a divine machine guard."
"Then the establishment of a battalion directly exceeds 2,000 people; the establishment of a brigade directly exceeds 10,000 people."
"Of course, it's not that I don't agree with it. After all, the number of our troops is here. I don't care if the military department makes changes!"
"But you can't go too far!"
"There are about 3,000 divine machine soldiers among more than 10,000 people, so there are 400,000 Class A combat troops and at least 100,000 divine machine soldiers."
"These are magic soldiers. The cost of raising one battalion is equivalent to two brigades!"
The finance minister cried, which frightened everyone.
The cost of one battalion is equivalent to that of two brigades, so the cost of 100,000 people is equivalent to fifty brigades, which is equivalent to a force of 400,000 people.
Doesn't this ridiculous reform cost so much?
"You bullshit!"
Lu Yulin was also worried, "In this reform, there are not even 100,000 divine machine soldiers. You forgot the navy, navy, heavy infantry, cavalry and heavy cavalry!"
"These people add up to almost 100,000 people!"
When the Finance Minister heard this, his teeth almost broke.
"I'll thank you on my horse. If you hadn't reminded me, I would have forgotten about this!"
"The cost of these 100,000 troops is greater than the cost of 100,000 divine machine soldiers."
Everyone was in an uproar. Although they knew a little about these arms, they did not expect that these arms would cost more than the divine machine soldiers.
Where has this horse gone?
Lu Yulin was stunned after hearing this.
Those who are riding horses have deceived themselves with just one word.
But he continued to quibble, "But in this plan, the military headquarters also greatly reduced the armor equipment!"
"No more, no more, that's almost a third less!"
"You fart," the finance minister became even more angry and yelled.
"Do you want to reduce it?"
"The Shenji Battalion wants to reduce the number of armors by half. Isn't it because the armors are too heavy to be used?"
"And why don't you reduce the armor of the Divine Machine Guard?"
"Moreover, is the Navy's armor willing to be reduced by the military? It's not that the armor is useless!"
"Also, have you reduced the navy's armor? This is obviously a replacement for special armor, and the cost will be higher, okay?"
"Lu Yulin, ask yourself, does this military reform plan really reduce military spending?"
The Finance Minister's words made Lu Shu look sideways.
Because he also remembered that the cost of these troops was no less than that of the Divine Machine Soldiers, or even more.
Nowadays, the Navy needs to replace its ironclad ships and install artillery, rocket launchers, and steam engines.
As for the navy, the same is true, except that the navy's armored ships are made of iron-clad wood, but the cost is not small.
Not to mention that the Navy's armored ships also need to be equipped with artillery. The cost of this battalion is twice that of the Shenji Battalion.
As for a naval battalion, it is more than four times that of the navy.
As for the heavy infantry, cavalry, and heavy cavalry, they all need to be selected. The pay is extremely high, and the consumption is similar to that of the Shenji Battalion.
Of course, heavy cavalry is more expensive!
and many more......
Lu Shu suddenly reacted, then picked up the reform plan and looked at it carefully.
Good guys, the Navy and Navy equipment are also being upgraded, and they are still aiming for the top-notch ones.
At this time, a naval force is basically equivalent to 400,000 Class A combat troops.
Good guy, this is not a military reform. This is to drain the wealth of the Han army!
And no wonder the Minister of Finance was so angry. All the wealth he had finally plundered by casting steel money was taken away at once.
"boom!"
Lu Shu slapped the case and stood up, angrily saying:
"Lu Yulin, you have gone too far!"
Lu Shu showed his power, and Lu Yulin suddenly trembled.
In fact, it’s not his fault. After all, although he didn’t like this thing before, it’s different now.
Originally, steam engines could only be used for iron smelting, or else they could be mined between the Ordnance Institute and the Research Institute.
Of course, tanks will also be used.
However, due to various problems, the steam engines at that time were just like that. They were of no great use at all and were completely useless in military operations.
Compare this to artillery.
When the artillery first came out, it was not just the military who disliked it, Liu Wu also disliked it very much.
So rocket launchers became mainstream.
But with the development of smelting technology, the power of artillery on ships and fixed forts cannot be underestimated.
Among other things, through the Northern Xinjiang Campaign, you can find that a few cannons on the top of a city will make it impregnable.
There is also the Crouching Tiger Cannon used by the Divine Machine Guards, which is a powerful weapon in field combat and close combat.
When encountering the enemy in the wild, if the enemy forms a military formation, they will be easily defeated with one shot.
If the enemy disperses, they will be killed by the army without formation.
It can be said that in field battles and hand-to-hand combat, the power of the Crouching Tiger Cannon is extraordinary.
The artillery range of up to three hundred steps is enough to shatter any military formation.
It can be said that artillery and rocket launchers are the weapons of the military and the country.
And in the past three years of research, the current system is definitely the best system.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but start to argue.
With the quarrel in the conference room, everyone else soon understood what was going on.
Then they all marveled at Lu Yulin's boldness.
then......
A fierce quarrel broke out between the civil and military parties, which affected a wide range of people.
Even Master Rao couldn't help but die personally.
If nothing else, the appetite of the military is too big. If you do this, how can you do education?
