"It's going to increase military expenditure again." Meng Yi said when he read the proposal of the General Staff.

"Does Qin want to increase military expenditure?" Mo Li asked.

"It should be like this." Meng Yi said to Mo Li. Mo Li did not follow Qin to the Western Regions because she wanted to understand how Qin Guanzhong developed. The development of the six countries far exceeds their interest in the Western Regions.

"The recommendations of the General Staff represent the interests of the military. It is an election year, and Shangwen has to take into account the interests of the military. You know, the military holds 250,000 votes." Meng Yi said.

"Two hundred and fifty thousand votes are equivalent to the votes of a state in Qin." Mo Li said. The Qin Federal Law stipulates that the establishment of a state requires 200,000 people to establish it.

"It's true." Meng Yi said at this time.

"If Shangwen agrees to the army's expansion of the army aviation force, he must at the same time agree to the needs of the space army. In doing so, the financial pressure will increase. Shangwen has always been reluctant to invest a lot of money on the issue of military expenditure." Meng Yi said.

"Well. It seems that he is quite embarrassed. If the military expenditure is increased, the funds for financial support for infrastructure construction will be reduced. In this case, it will cause the opposition of the businessmen of the major states. On the one hand, the army is opposed to it, and on the other hand, the businessmen are opposed . This prime minister." Mo Li said at this moment.

"Difficult." Meng Yi said.

Mo Li thought about it at this time. He didn't know what Shang Wen would think about this time.

"It's difficult." Shang Wen said while looking at the telegram from Xianyang.

"What's wrong with the prime minister?" Fan Zeng asked at this time.

"Let's take a look." Shang Wen handed the telegram in his hand to Fan Zeng at this time.

"Qin's military gave us a problem. Their strength can be retracted." Shang Wen said.

"But, what should I do after retracting?" Shang Wen said at this time.

"Qin Jun will definitely need to be refurbished." Shang Wen said.

"They expand the army aviation. I know that if they do this, it will increase the mobility of the Qin army, but it will expand a lot. I think. There are still many technical problems that are difficult to solve." Shang Wen said.

"We increase the army's military expenditures on a single side, but the competition between the Qin army is also very fierce. In this way, the heavenly army will inevitably increase military expenditures. Now, it is the election year. If we can't coax them well, my prime minister will It is difficult to maintain." Shang Wen said. Fan Zeng is responsible for Shangwen's campaign. Fan Zeng's support is also needed for campaign strategy formulation.

"This." Fan Zeng pondered this time. Faced with such a problem. He also embarrassed that Qin's financial situation was not very good. A large amount of funds are concentrated on the construction of the basic economic facilities of Qin State.

Shang Wen thought about this question in a difficult way, and Fan Zeng was thinking about it at this time.

"Qin's large amount of financial funds is used in the construction of economic infrastructure, such as a large number of railways, highways, water conservancy projects, and a considerable amount of education expenses, etc." Fan Zeng thought to himself.

"In this way, Qin Jun will receive very little military expenditure. But now the situation has changed a lot. Qin Jun has the votes of a state in his hands. The votes are equivalent to a state, and the votes of such a large state make Shangwen have to consider Under such circumstances, Shangwen will inevitably increase military expenditures to meet the needs of the military. However, the military uses this as a threat and requires Shangwen to increase military expenditures by a large amount. It is impossible for Shangwen to increase military expenditures. "Fan Zeng thought. .

"The Qin Army's internal military competition is fierce. The fierce competition between the two sides will inevitably lead to an increase in the overall military expenditure of the Qin Army." Fan Zeng thought.

"Prime Minister, I think. We cannot agree to all the requirements of Qin Jun. If this is the case, Qin’s overall policy will be seriously changed. Not only that, Qin’s businessmen are bound to oppose the use of large amounts of financial funds. Military expenditures. At that time, the prime minister would probably be angry at both ends." Fan Zeng said.

"Yes. I am also worried about this." Shang Wen said.

"You know, we can increase military expenditure, but not too much, but the competition between the Qin army's services is too fierce." Shang Wen said, shaking his head.

"If we want the support of the army, we must comfort the navy and comfort the space army, and military expenditures will increase unconditionally. In this case, the financial funds used for the economy will be rapidly reduced. This is not what I want to see. The situation is not what we want to see." Shang Wen said.

"Yes, I think so too." Fan Zeng said.

"However, the prime minister can give in a small range and give certain experiments. Or, win some projects to the military and let the military participate in commercial projects to make up for their insufficient military expenditure." Fan Zeng said at this time.

"Right." Shang Wen nodded.

"The prime minister can't give more or less military expenses. Give it and don't give it evenly. In that case, the prime minister will lose all military votes. If the prime minister wants to take the initiative, he must do his homework on the project." Fan Zeng suggested.

"For example?" Shang Wen asked. Shang Wen didn't understand Fan Zeng's meaning.

"For example, the Army plans to expand the aviation force, but how to expand it will take time to expand. It is impossible to expand it all at once. Therefore, the Qin Army must increase a large amount of military expenditure to a certain extent." Fan Zeng said.

"The prime minister can find projects, according to a certain scale. The time limit increases. As long as it is postponed after the general election year, all problems can be solved." Fan Zeng said.

"This is the case for the Army, and the same is true for the Space Army. It is possible to increase military expenditures, but projects must be taken out. The project review is handed over to the Ministry of National Defense, and the Ministry of National Defense can get rid of the disadvantages of these projects and give play to their advantages." Fan Zeng continued.

"It's not just these." Fan Zeng said.

"There are also their military trade projects. At present, many countries want to develop, and many companies want to obtain military orders. In this way, they can cooperate with commercial enterprises to achieve the purpose of increasing their military expenditure." Fan Zeng suggested.

"The other thing is that the government's fiscal expenditures, especially military expenditures, are the government's say. This is where the government has the initiative." Fan Zeng said.

"Yes. That's right." Shang Wen said excitedly at this time.

Fan Zeng's suggestion is too right. Qin's military expenditure is in the hands of the government, and if he blindly agrees, it will inevitably lead to an increase in military expenditure. Caused the military's dissatisfaction. Great influence on the economic development of Qin State. Now Fan Zeng’s suggestion allows Shangwen to solve the issue of military spending. This is absolutely good news for Shangwen. In this way, Shangwen can not offend military spending and get votes.
