God Three Group Chat: Three Kingdoms

...

The times are developing and the future is progressing. When other countries have not yet opened their books, the internal system of the Han Empire can be said to have been almost rolled up, except for the working hours.

As for the military, the Han Empire, which was itself a martial nation, naturally invested enormous amounts of power and development level.

No civil or military official thought there was anything wrong with this pure path of military-military monarchy.

When it comes to military matters, even during grand court meetings, when there is no war involved, half a day will be set aside to deal with this aspect of the issue.

If there is a war, or if there is a deterrent, then there is no need to think too much, it will basically start in one day.

Unfortunately, the current situation is just like this. Even after seeing Liu Tong (internal energy), he still feels extremely troubled.

That’s right, as long as it involves the military, it will inevitably involve another issue, that is, military spending.

Especially since the army itself is divided into multiple arms, multiple regions, and even multiple defense zones. Given the limited overall military expenditure, how to divide them is something that needs to be argued or discussed.

Although the current funding has increased more than tenfold compared to the past, the military's spending is often a bottomless pit.

The demand for military expenditure in this regard is not so much about the sheer quantity as it is about the proportion of the military.

From this perspective, Liu Tong (internal energy) deeply felt that after these people had seen the world, not all of them were good people.

At least when it comes to asking for military funds, they really dare to ask, but everyone can understand this kind of thing.

After all, the total military expenditure is limited. If the army has more, the navy will have less. If the defense zone has more, the defense zone will have less.

Even though compared to the past, it can be considered very wealthy, but for the proud soldiers, morale and honor are themselves important components of combat effectiveness.

In other words, getting the most money is a recognition that they have the strongest fighting power. Otherwise, how could they possibly get the most military expenditure?

In the military, the biggest fist is the hard truth, and this hard truth can also be exchanged for real combat effectiveness and corresponding military expenditure.

In terms of treasury expenditure, the military expenditure that can be obtained is basically linked to combat effectiveness. The higher the military expenditure, the more terrifying the combat effectiveness.

The actual situation is that the more terrifying the combat power, the higher the military expenditure can be obtained.

This led to the fact that most soldiers could roughly measure the scope of the area they belonged to based on their own military expenditures, and then work hard to become stronger.

Liu Tong (internal energy) sincerely felt that this kind of KPI-like ranking indicator was outrageous and even a little bad.

Especially for the vast majority of men, rankings are a huge pitfall. No matter whether they are officers or soldiers in the army, the existence of such a thing is a pitfall.

This outrageous trap will certainly make some soldiers and officers who are unwilling to admit defeat work hard and make spontaneous efforts to demonstrate stronger combat effectiveness and thus obtain higher benefits.

However, some soldiers who originally had no ideas and generals who were willing to give up would find that their efforts were ineffective and they would completely give up. In this regard, the Jiangdong troops were particularly good at it. Anyway, the military expenditure was guaranteed. Even if there was no military expenditure, at least food and accommodation were provided.

What's the point of working hard? If you don't work hard, won't you get food and shelter?

What's more, the system implemented in Jiangdong was closer to the military system. They were loyal to the generals rather than to the country, and they responded to the generals' orders rather than the country's call.

As for the relevant funds and financial subsidies, they were also distributed to the generals and then to the soldiers. This led to the fact that among all the regions of the Han Empire, only the soldiers in the Jiangdong region were the most corrupt and the most outrageous.

Regarding this situation, Liu Tong (internal energy) had no intention of changing and did not want to make any effort.

So many people have put in efforts and hard work to change Jiangdong's combat effectiveness, but the result, while it cannot be said to be nothing, is better than nothing.

Going forward, they incorporated Danyang County, which had an extremely high combat capability and a particularly tough folk custom, into the Jiangdong region, trying to change all this by relying on the infectious power of "birds of a feather flock together", but ended in failure.

The most recent one was Zhu Jun, Marquis of Duxiang. With his efforts in this regard, Zhu Jun, who was good at defensive and preparatory battles, almost got his soldiers from Jiangdong killed.

It can be said that even a normal commander of a large army could not lead the group of soldiers in Jiangdong who had problems with their mentality.

As for others, not to mention.

It was precisely because of the outstanding performance of the Jiangdong soldiers that Zhou Yu, who should have argued for his rights, was at a disadvantage in this aspect of the debate.

It is obvious that the army has a huge military force, and the navy has the entire Jiangdong navy and the Yuzhou navy, as well as the Jiangnan Construction General Administration established according to relevant plans.

The navy seems to be booming, but the current naval budget is less than half of the Qingzhou naval construction budget. How can this be tolerated?
The navy is a technical branch of the military. Only with money can it expand its scale faster and grow its strength. Then, with a stronger force, it can obtain more military funds.

It can be said that if you take a step back, you will actually take steps back.

If the division was really based on this level, even if the Jiangdong navy could develop, it would probably have been crushed by the Northern Navy.

The military expenditure that the Southern Navy receives is no more than 1 billion yuan a year. In the past, that was an unthinkable number. However, compared with the 2 billion yuan a year in the North, and the large amount of foreign exchange that the Navy has, the gap will only become more and more obvious.

Therefore, Zhou Yu, who should have been worried about Sun Ce, fully demonstrated his talent in debate with scholars at the grand court meeting that day, and conducted language indoctrination and teaching from multiple angles and levels.

So much so that in Liu Tong's (internal energy) opinion, Zhou Yu, who was full of vigor and vitality in the court, had some of the style of Zhuge Liang, who was recorded in the special chat group.

Zhou Yu's actions and final efforts finally paid off.

Whether it is out of considerations of balance, or because southerners are good at water, or because the southern navy has expanded and needs special compensation, although the southern navy has not changed its annual military expenditure quota, it will receive an additional 2 billion yuan in military expenditure compensation each year in the past few years.

Zhou Yu was quite satisfied with the result. It was worth it for him to fight against so many people alone and almost failed to win... (End of this chapter)
