Fengtian Munitions Factory's Reforming Plan!
100 million yuan!
Zang Shiyi was stunned. The Northeast's annual financial revenue was only a few billion yuan. It was already very impressive that they could allocate 20 million yuan to the Fengtian Munitions Factory!
He didn't expect Zhang Xuemin to increase his bid by 5 times, from 2000 to 100 million!
Although 100 million yuan was still within the budget of the Northeast, the government's tax revenue could not be used solely on the production of weapons and equipment. People's livelihood, military, education, government material procurement, and other aspects needed money!
Especially when Zhang Zuolin would send his troops into the pass at any time. Every time, he would throw tens of millions of dollars into the military. What did war rely on? Other than soldiers and weapons, the most important thing was money!
"Commander-in-chief, isn't 100 million too much? Could the Ministry of Finance afford that much money? Moreover, you had previously issued a decree to reduce agricultural and commercial taxes!”Zang Shiyi asked cautiously. After all, he was once the governor of Ji Province, so he knew how much of a burden such a huge expenditure was on the government's financial income!
"Don't worry, I, Zhang Xuemin, am a man of my word. If I say I will give you 100 million yuan every year, I will definitely give you 100 million yuan!”
Although the taxes in the northeast were lowered, with the opening of factories in various industries, the products of the northeast would definitely be dumped to other empires and even the Furious Bear Country. At that time, the money would roll in!
The most important thing was that the principal had sent a representative to change the Northeast. What were they waiting for if they didn't extort him at this time?
There was no pressure at all to get 18 million yuan!
Zhang Xuemin's lips curled into a smug smile!
During the war, the Fengtian Munitions Factory, the largest weapon factory in Asia, was like a hen that only laid golden eggs. How did the United States become a superpower after World War II? The war did not spread to the mainland. The other reason was that they profited from the war during World War II and sold weapons to the Axis countries and the allied countries!
The reason why the people of Dongyang Kingdom only launched a full-scale invasion of China after occupying the northeast was because the huge industrial base of the northeast provided huge support for the war. Otherwise, with the small territory of Dongyang Kingdom, the resources would have been exhausted in three months!
In history, after the Japanese army occupied Northeast China, they directly seized 100,000 rifles, 60,000 pistols, machine guns, and more than 2000 mortars from the Fengtian Arsenal. At the same time, Zhang Zuolin also bought dozens of M-18 tanks and the American version of FT-17 tanks. All of these later became the capital for the Japanese army to launch a full-scale invasion of China!
Therefore, after Zhang Xueliang implemented the policy of non-resistance and lost the northeast, it made the people hate him so much. In a sense, he was the behind-the-scenes driver of the Japanese army's full-scale invasion of China!
Now that Zhang Xuemin was the commander-in-chief of the security forces in the three eastern provinces, the Japanese would have no chance to start a war!
"I can increase the annual budget of the Munitions Factory to 100 million yuan, but let me make this clear first. If you can't do anything, I'll still shoot you!”Zhang Xuemin said calmly.
It gave Zang Shiyi a fright!
"First of all, send people to go abroad for inspection. Danmai, Dongyang, De, M, Austria…go to any country with advanced weapons and buy their weapon production lines. Move them back one by one. You don't have to care about the design drawings.”
Zang Shiyi was stunned. As long as he could get the production line, he could get the weapon design blueprint. This was too domineering!
After a pause, Zhang Xuemin continued," Secondly, expand the scale of the project. Set up specialized steel factories, gunpowder factories, foundries, power plants, and so on. Raise the benefits of the workers to the best. Set up military schools and build experimental sites!”
" Also, set up a research and development center in a special area to research mortars, howitzers, cannons, anti-aircraft guns, and other artillery. Search for foreign and domestic talents and experts to research and develop independently. Be bold. We can develop and manufacture tanks, armored vehicles, trucks, and even airplanes and fighter jets ourselves…"
Zang Shiyi opened his mouth and was dumbfounded. According to Zhang Xuemin's description, Fengtian Munitions Factory would become the world's leading arsenal!
This was what it meant to be ambitious!
Compared to Zhang Xuemin's grand plan to build the Fengtian Munitions Factory, 100 million yuan a year wasn't much!
"Just do as I say. You don't have to worry about money. The most important thing now is to solve the problem of the Maxim heavy machine gun production line, expand the scale, and increase production!”Zhang Xuemin patted Zang Shiyi's shoulder and said earnestly.
"In addition, you don't have to be the general manager. You can be promoted to the supervisor of Fengtian Munitions Factory. Anyway, Wang Shuhan has too many duties and he can't manage them all.”
If he wanted his subordinates to work hard, he naturally had to give them some benefits. He couldn't possibly give all the employees of the Munitions Factory a better salary, and Zang Shiyi, the general manager, didn't get any benefits. It was obviously inappropriate!
Therefore, Zhang Xuemin directly promoted him to the supervisor of Fengtian Munitions Factory!
As expected, Zang Shiyi's eyes lit up and he was extremely excited. He straightened his back and shouted,"Yes, thank you for your promotion, Commander-in-chief. I promise to do my best to run the Fengtian Munitions Factory well!”
