Technology: breaking the hegemony that monopolizes the world

The dispute between land and sea exists in the military forces of many countries and regions on the Blue Star.

Even if some countries are deep inland and protected by the three permanent members, they will still retain their naval configuration.

The depth of the inland will give the country confidence. And the strength of sea power is the most important barrier for economic, commercial and cultural exchanges.

However, the two quarreled and forgot that the land and sea are really necessary.

After listening to the arguments of these rough guys for a while, the senior Air Force officials in a certain corner of the building, like a gentleman, gently adjusted the brim of his hat and said: "Our space force is focusing on transformation and upgrading. The total budget application for the Air Force and Space Force in the 1028 fiscal year of the Xiayin Star Calendar is 225 billion US dollars, an increase of only 10 billion US dollars from the 1027 fiscal year, an increase of 8%. Now that this abnormality has occurred, our budget should also increase."

Air Force Minister Frank pointed to the Jiuzhou Technology Starship on the screen and talked freely: "To develop the capabilities needed to respond to current threats and provide support, we must accelerate the modernization to cope with high-end wars.

We need to vigorously produce and purchase B -21 bombers, promote land-based strategic deterrence projects and the next generation of air superiority concepts, accelerate the development and testing of advanced sensors, resilient communications and aircraft, and purchase more F-15EX fighters, KC-4H-139 helicopters, etc.

We need to provide enhanced current and future space combat capabilities, develop future space perception technologies, keep a close eye on satellites launched by other forces, and scan potential threats outside the sky.

To accomplish these tasks, we must have enough excellent engineers and high-precision equipment, so we need to increase the budget again. $225 billion is not enough!

According to the current urgency of the project, we need $350 billion! And reserve the right to increase it again! "

As soon as the figure of $350 billion came out, the atmosphere in the conference room was quiet.

What does this number represent?

Mumbai covers an area of ​​about 4,300 square kilometers and currently has a population of about 21 million. It is one of the top ten super cities in the world. As the most developed city in the Eastern country of Indus, in the 1025th year of the Xia Yin Star Calendar, the total GDP of Mumbai only reached 350 billion US dollars, accounting for about 9% of the total GDP of Indus.

In other words, the Air Force has to eat up one-tenth of Indus' GDP in this bite to barely eat enough, and even retains the right to increase (additional meals) later...

And this is the GDP value, not the funds that are actually retained by the official.

If this money is converted to a medium-sized country, such as South Philippines, with a territory of 1.221 million square kilometers and a population of about 51.77 million, its total GDP is only 350 billion US dollars.

In the battle between the three armies, the Air Force will swallow up South Philippines in one bite.

The total budget is only so much. If you bite too much, others will naturally have to cut back on food.

But in the future where there will obviously be great unrest, cutting back on food now means that your camp will eat less and train less muscle. If you have to train muscles in the future, you will suffer.

Bang!

The thick hairy hand slapped the solid wood desk.

A big man in the army, with his rosacea and fierce eyes, shouted: "350 billion US dollars, you can also say it!? Everyone knows that you aerospace nobles are extravagant and wasteful. A helmet costs tens of thousands of dollars! How can you be so shameless?!

The transformation direction of our army is multi-functional and almighty! In the face of the ever-changing global security environment and emerging threats, the traditional single combat capability is no longer sufficient to cope with the complex and changing battlefield environment. Therefore, transformation has become an inevitable choice.

We don’t ask for more. We dare not open the mouth of 350 billion US dollars! To be realistic, we only want 280 billion US dollars!"

The man in the air force laughed when he heard this.

"Your fiscal year budget for Xia Yinxing calendar 1026 is only 185.9 billion US dollars, and now it is going to increase to 280 billion US dollars? In just two or three years, it has increased by nearly 100 billion US dollars? Why? Your Pacific Deterrence Initiative (PDI) request only costs 1.5 billion US dollars. Are you trying to add Laffite to the fuel tank with this extra 100 billion?"

"That's right, how many people are there in your army? They are retreating every year, and you have the nerve to take so much budget? Our budget for the past two years was only 257.6 billion US dollars. In this situation, we don't need too much. This year it will increase to 300 billion US dollars! Next year, 350 billion US dollars!

Procurement funds, personnel salaries, research and development funds, and military construction funds all need to be increased!"

In modern times, there have been no large-scale wars inland, which has led to the army being the concubine's child in Uncle Sam's eyes. Although there is some care, it is not much.

As a hegemonic country that started with sea power and suppressed the trinity for a while, the navy and the air force are naturally the legitimate sons.

But no matter how much attention is paid, this $300 billion and the other $350 billion add up to $650 billion, and no matter how unpopular the Army is, it has to give some.

Uncle Sam looked at this person on the left and that person on the right, and felt dizzy when he heard these numbers.

In addition to these three major organizations, there are also some senior institutions that have similar applications and demands.

Every starting point is very accurate, just for national security!

"Jiuzhou Technology, Suiren Company and other technology companies are recruiting engineers in large numbers. Now the salary of excellent engineers has doubled compared to ten years ago. If we want to build the best team of scientists and engineers on this planet, we must also offer the highest salary on this planet!"

"As a matter of urgency, we must develop a radar system that can detect the enemy and upgrade old equipment. The $50 billion in funding must be received as soon as possible."

"Perhaps we should also set up a real mecha department. Jiuzhou Technology's combat mecha has already had a great international influence. Not only in small-scale military exercises, but also in large-scale group army combat exercises, or in urban special exercises, combat mechas have performed very well."

"I agree The mecha department will be established. Daxia will place the mecha under the command of Anxi Military. Our army can also select the corresponding mecha intelligence talents and mecha driving talents. At the same time, the mecha R\u0026D, parts manufacturing, and manufacturer bidding can also be fully responsible. It only takes 100 billion US dollars to carry out the operation. "

"Is the army worthy of having combat mecha? Our air force is the most suitable place for combat mecha. We can rely on our strong air transport capabilities to airdrop combat mecha to all parts of the world, allowing us to achieve global multi-level, multi-scale, and multi-means strikes. In addition, the physical fitness requirements of mecha drivers are very high. The gravity acceleration that needs to be adapted is beyond the reach of ordinary military talents. Only our best fighter pilots can be competent!"
