Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 641

The slight chaos in Massachusetts, on the scale of the entire Ming Empire, is basically on the same level as a traffic accident in a village.Although the area of ​​Massachusetts is not small, its population is small, and the North American overseas territory has a comprehensive and long-term development plan. As the emperor, Bai Mingxiu really doesn't need to worry about these things.

Various news media have cooled down on the reports of the previous bombing of Donetsk, but this incident still prompted many young people in the Ming Dynasty to devote themselves to the cause of flying.Becoming a pilot has become the wish of many young people in Ming Dynasty.Bai Mingxiu is also happy to see some iconic moments become an opportunity to promote the development of an industry.

The entire Ming Dynasty was preparing for war at a seemingly daily, but silent, but at the same time intense pace.Many families have children who enlist in the military and write home from far away on the other side of the world to tell them how they are doing.Some of them were stationed in Asia Minor, some in North Africa, and some in the British Isles.In short, many people became soldiers, affecting thousands of families.

This generation of soldiers is basically the baby boomer generation after the Restoration War.They have just grown up, ready to enter society, and become soldiers because they answered the call of the country.The baby boomer generation is also the most educated generation in China's history. Their literacy rate is 97%. More than half of them have completed high school education, and more than 20.00% of them have participated in higher education and obtained a college or undergraduate degree.Because of the school system of Ming Dynasty, a normal school student graduated from university at the age of 20.

The baby boomers are undoubtedly the proudest generation of the Ming Empire. They grew up in a peaceful, stable and materially rich environment. The education they received was the first nationally codified education with Ming social ideology and patriotism. Bai Mingxiu has successfully instilled some of the qualities he hoped for into this generation of Ming people.

Cheerful, optimistic, full of thirst for knowledge, humble but proud at the same time, love science and knowledge, full of spirit of exploration, hard work and hard work.When a person is in school, the good qualities repeatedly emphasized by the teachers will obviously have a major impact on him in his future life.

Not everyone will grow up to be great talents, and it is impossible for everyone to have a major impact on the process of society and history, but good influence can enable them to bring more to society and the world.

And the Ming Empire was an exceptionally powerful existence.

You can compare it with the United States during World War II. At that time, the United States had a population of 1.3 million and could achieve an annual output of 4 aircraft and 2 tanks. It has always been regarded as a pinnacle in the history of the earth's industry.But now the Ming Empire created by Bai Mingxiu alone has a population of 2.4 million Chinese. The degree of industrialization is even worse than that of the United States in 1945.Daming basically did not mobilize the power of the entire society to produce military equipment and military supplies, and its production capacity has steadily surpassed that of the United States of America at that time.

Even Bai Mingxiu felt dizzy when he received the report on the military production of the Ming Empire in the previous year.

"... Last year we produced 3.5 tanks, 5 armored vehicles, 9 warrior off-road vehicles, and 12 military trucks?"

"A total of 1 J-1.2 piston fighter jets have been produced, and 2 J-2900 jet fighters have been produced?"

"103 Jinan-class frigates were launched last year?"

Bai Mingxiu put down the report in his hand, rubbed his temples: "This is so much fat and ointment."

The Prime Minister Zhang Huangyan said: "However, with a large amount of military procurement, we have completed the upgrading of part of the manufacturing industry and stimulated the economic situation. Relying on the war, we can safely survive the economic stagflation."

This is natural, producing tens of thousands of aircraft and cannons to provide millions of Ming soldiers with the food, clothing, housing and transportation they need, the consumption here is huge.Fortunately, Daming's wealth is also astonishing, especially since Daming has begun to abandon the gold standard, and has begun to adopt credit currency, which is completely free from the restrictions of the old financial order.

A large amount of steel and other materials means more ore mining, more work, and more energy consumption. Even if it is not the military industry, it will reverse the market because of this economic situation.In particular, a large number of orders have supported some relatively high-quality factories to obtain more profits. Not to mention that they can survive, they can also use the profits to upgrade their equipment and conduct more training, so as to upgrade into more powerful factories.

This is also what Daming really cares about in this war.

The prime minister, Zhang Huangyan, also had a rebound in word-of-mouth due to his achievements this year, and recently received a lot of praise from the newspapers and media, as if they had never criticized some of the chief minister's policies before.

But Bai Mingxiu is also concerned about another issue: "Why do I feel that this kind of production last year is enough for our entire army? Our Ming regular army has established 20 group armies with a total strength of 192 million. Now even if Every infantry division is mechanized, and every group army even organizes an additional armored division. They don’t even need 3.5 tanks, not to mention that we have already equipped a large number of tanks before that.”

The main tank produced by Daming is still the Type 34, which is a replica of the T-1687. Before 8000, the Type 2 equipped troops with a total of more than [-] vehicles.As a result, last year, Ming Dynasty produced more than [-] Type [-] tanks, and it is definitely unrealistic to equip them all with the army.

Zhang Huangyan also had to admit: "It is true that a certain proportion of the equipment is currently on standby, but the strategy for presetting military supplies proposed by the Ministry of War is still very correct..."

Bai Mingxiu wrote on his face that he would not listen or I would not listen, and asked directly: "What percentage of equipment is idle now?"

"Uh, 30.00% five."

The veins on Bai Mingxiu's forehead throbbed.

"We have produced so many things, but in the end, less than [-]% of the equipment has actually been deployed to the troops. Is the rest just for display? And I checked the budget. Your procurement budget this year is higher than last year's procurement budget. The budget has to be doubled, does this mean that we need to produce more things? Our army will not expand, so what are these equipments used for? Are they placed at home to ward off evil spirits?" Bai Mingxiu really couldn't help but go crazy.

But Prime Minister Zhang Huangyan was slow. He said: "Your Majesty, we don't only need equipment for the Army. The Navy needs it, the Marine Corps needs it, and the Air Force needs it. More importantly, we also have the Fan Army and the Garrison Corps. Now Fan The army is also going to the battlefield. It is definitely not suitable for them to carry old weapons, so new equipment is necessary. The garrison regiment has not changed its equipment for many years, so this time we will get it together. Besides, our economy needs this Please trust me, you will definitely make Daming more prosperous!"
