Chapter 297
"What, it's not our self-developed chip?"
"This chip can't be bought on the market, how did we get it?"
"Mr. Yang, do we have a source of supply for this chip? Can we develop it ourselves?"
...
One question after another was asked, but Mr. Yang just shook his head.
"Chip technology is not a single process, it is a complete system.
It involves a large number of basic disciplines. At present, our country does not have the ability to carry out this research and development. The technical investment and technical reserves it consumes are too much."
After listening to Mr. Yang's words, everyone's face seemed to freeze in an instant.
If we can't develop it ourselves, and we can't buy this chip on the market, then doesn't it mean that the technological gap between our country and the Lighthouse Country will become larger and larger?
This gap is reflected on the battlefield. Everyone can't help but think of the exercise battle between Jiang Wei's reconnaissance company and the combined battalion.
All of this is too shocking.
The country has spent a lot of effort to cultivate the combined battalion, but in an exercise, it has been completely wiped out before the enemy even saw it.
If, that was not a simulated exercise, but a real battlefield...
For a moment, everyone's heart was shrouded in a cloud.
"Mr. Yang, since the incident has already happened, do you have any countermeasures?" asked a military leader.
The old man began to struggle in his heart.
Fengyun discussed this issue with him.
The most effective way is to reduce the army, not to reduce tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, but at least to reduce millions.
Reduce costs and increase efficiency, and use the saved expenses for modern weapons construction.
In modern warfare, quantity can no longer fully represent everything.
That exercise made everyone clearly see that future wars will not be fought by numbers, but by high technology.
The proportion of the number of troops has become smaller and smaller.
But once large-scale disarmament begins, too many people who are soldiers will be confused.
The army has no worries about food and clothing, and they only need to persist in training every day.
But once you enter society, you have to be self-reliant, support yourself, and pay taxes to the country...
Finally, the struggle on the old man's face calmed down.
Pains must be experienced, otherwise the combat effectiveness will not be improved, and the country will suffer in the end.
"I suggest disarmament. The remaining money should be used to improve the technological content of equipment..."
The old man's words did not cause much waves.
Because, Longguo started disarmament a few years ago. It's just that it was slowly piloted in a small range and small batches.
However, the situation on the battlefield in the future is changing too fast, and they can't continue to proceed slowly and conservatively.
The future battlefield pattern must be a local war with high-tech content.
For example, the steel torrent and human sea battlefield advocated by the Mao Bear Country are destined to be eliminated in the end.
Mao Bear Country.
The commanders of the four fleets gathered together again.
"Two bamboos."
"One."
"It's a mess, all the same color, self-draw, fishing for the moon in the bottom of the sea, one dragon, give me money!" Commander Alexander excitedly pushed his mahjong down.
"Brothers, how are you doing? Anyway, my Northern Fleet is not doing well. The higher-ups have been learning about our budget again and again. If it weren't for the Siberian Oil Company run by Feng Xiaozi, our Northern Fleet wouldn't even be able to send out normal Liang Xiang, not to mention that there are so many ships and aircraft that need maintenance." The commander of the Northern Fleet sighed and complained.
The topic was opened, and the other three people suddenly lost interest in playing cards.
"The budget of our Black Sea Fleet has also been cut. Now it is less than 1/3 of the usual amount. How can we maintain our combat readiness?
I won't hide the joke from you old brothers. Now at least half of the ships in my fleet have no money to maintain, that is, the main fleet, which can be pulled out for maintenance every few months."
The commanders of the other three fleets were complaining, and they couldn't help but look at Alexander.
Alexander glared: "Don't look at me, I don't have any money either. Our Pacific Fleet has also had a lot of budget cuts. I don't know what those bureaucrats above are thinking. With such cuts, how can we maintain the most basic combat readiness?"
"Okay, brother Alexander, the three of us are complaining here, so don't join in the fun.
Everyone knows that your Pacific Fleet has the closest relationship with that guy, and you know best how many tricks there are between you.
The last time, you drove a nuclear submarine to the high seas, and the last time, you took a few destroyers and nuclear submarines to the Bay of Bengal. Alexander, we brothers are alsoWe have been familiar with each other for decades. How can you do something that has no benefits?" The commander of the Northern Fleet said disdainfully.
Among the four major fleet commanders, the other three are really poor, but Alexander's Pacific Fleet, not to say rich, at least has no worries about food and clothing.
Who would believe that the war damage is reported every other day?
We are all leaders, who doesn't understand the tricks?
Seeing that the lie was exposed, Alexander just smiled awkwardly, but he did not explain. This kind of thing cannot be explained, it is a tacit understanding.
"Do you think there is still hope for our country in the future?" The commander of the Black Sea Fleet suddenly said.
For a while, everyone was silent.
The collapse of an empire is not a sudden disappearance, but there have been signs a long time ago.
It's just that no one wants to believe it.
Suddenly, the commander of the Black Sea Fleet said: "Brother Alexander, if you still have that kind of war damage business in the future, can I be counted as one?
You know, the soldiers are living in poverty. As the commander, I see it but feel powerless.
I don't ask for much. Since the bureaucrats above don't care about us, we can only save ourselves.
Tens of thousands of soldiers trust us so much. We can't let them go hungry. "
"Yes, Brother Alexander, count me in."
"Count me in, too. "
Everyone looked at Alexander with hope.
In terms of the closeness of their relationship with Fengyun, none of them was as good as Alexander.
Moreover, if a deal like this goes wrong, the KGB may target him and he may lose his head.
From Fengyun's point of view, it is better to do business with someone you are familiar with than with someone you are not familiar with.
Fengyun would rather not do business with someone he has never worked with before.
He has done business with Alexander many times, and Alexander's moral standards are getting lower and lower.
Now, except for nuclear submarines and nuclear weapons, he dares to sell everything else, including aircraft carriers, as long as Fengyun dares to ask for them.
In this world, there is only one disease that is the most fatal, and that is poverty.
If he is not afraid of poverty, what else would he be afraid of?
