Chapter 1950： The late autumn morning party (2)

When I heard the words of the old minister, the following ministers of the ministers were shocked. The sight of the subconsciously glanced at Guo Jia and the minister of the military and political department.

Guo Jiaguo’s chief of staff has no need to say much about the status of their civilized civilization. The Ministry of Military Affairs is also a giant being among the various departments.

From the past to the present, the military’s funding has only increased and has not decreased.

Of course, this time the old minister did not say that he would cut the military’s funds, but said that he would retire the warships.

This matter falls into the ears of the ministers below, and it is too small. Doesn’t it make sense to touch the military?

For a time, the people below were also constantly thinking, and even kept shrinking in the corner and looking at the ceiling. The old minister of the construction engineering department who was traveling outside the sky was taken aback. The subconscious is going to pull down his old classmate.

During this period, Luo Ji, sitting on the throne, after a brief swearing, the look on his face was also a bit of meaning, and then he smiled and asked Guo Jia...

"Guo Jia, what do you think about this matter?"

Guo Jia, who was named by Luo, came forward in two steps, then said with a compliment...

"Your Majesty, the maintenance of warships does require a lot of money, and now we are financially tight in the civil society, and the old minister’s statement is not unreasonable."

Speaking of this, Guo Jia took a sigh of relief and then said the ‘but’.

"However, military power is the foundation of a country. If you retire too many warships, it will obviously lead to the weakening of our maritime forces in the world. If there are foreign enemies, the territory is safe and difficult to guarantee!"

Listening to Guo Jia’s remarks, Luo Ji is laughing from beginning to end.

Unlike the group of ministers below, Luo Ji is not worried about Guo Jiahui and the old minister.

So many years, Junchen, he knows these two people too well.

To put it bluntly, they are standing on their own positions and expressing their own ideas. There is no tit-for-tat meaning.

Guo Jia’s words have no problems, but the old minister’s words are also very reasonable.

In fact, after the end of the war, in order to alleviate the pressure on the state's finances, it is very normal to properly retire some weapons and equipment and even reduce the size of the army.

Today, he is a civilized naval with three fleets, namely the South China Sea Fleet, the West Sea Fleet and the Yangtze River Fleet.

There are only sixty-nine battleships in service! In addition, there are a large number of light cruisers, destroyers, torpedo boats, transport supply ships, landing ships and other types of ships, the total has reached a total of 342 warships!

Imagine having to raise three fleets of this size after the end of the war. How much will it cost him to burn every year?

Before the old minister said that the maintenance cost is an astronomical number, then it is really no exaggeration.

"Guo Jia and the old minister all said that the naval battleships, all departments are still continuing research and development, I believe that it will take a long time to develop a more advanced new type of warships, backward technology warships, in the future battle, very It is difficult to come in handy, and proper elimination is also necessary."

Hearing this, the following Guo Jia’s heart is already clear.

Sure enough, I only listened to the quite simple opening of Luo Ji...

"Well, on the other side of the naval fleet, we will retire 50 warships first, reduce financial pressure, and then look at the situation. What does the old minister think?"

This matter has to be step by step, the future development of science and technology, the replacement of warships, this is a necessity, but your new warships have not yet landed, and the old warships have been completely removed? This is obviously too stupid, so Luo Ji intends to retire a fleet of fifty.

"Your wise, the old minister has no objection!"

"We also have no objection to Weichen."

"Well, that's it. As for how the retired warships deal with this problem..."

How to deal with retired warships is a problem for many modern countries.

Many countries will choose to take those retired warships as targets for military training at sea, and they will sink directly.

This makes many people who don't understand the situation very strange.

Why do you want to do this? How expensive is a warship! After retiring, do you want to sink directly? That is too much to lose!

Even if it is to dismantle the sale of scrap iron, it is more cost-effective than direct sinking.

But in fact, this is not the case at all.

It is not that easy to dismantle a warship.

If you want to completely dismantle a warship, you have to spend a lot of time. It is definitely not something that can be done in ten days and a half. Even some large warships, it is not unusual for you to take a few years.

After that, even if you dismantled successfully, you can't sell anything that you can't sell, and the rest of the scrap iron, do you think you can sell a lot of money?

There are real cases to prove that in the process of dismantling the battleship, the labor and equipment costs that have been spent have already exceeded that number, which is not the time cost.

In other words, if you want to dismantle a warship, you will not be able to make money, but you will have to pay for it.

This is the root cause.

In addition, there are other reasons, for example, in the process of dismantling, it is easy to expose some information of the own battleship to the enemy and so on.

Of course, Luo Ji basically has no such concerns, but he did not intend to dismantle all the warships, which is too bad.

According to his idea, half of the weapons and important equipment on the battleship were removed. After removing some armor plates, the load was relieved, and the rest was left for transformation and transformation into a transport ship or a civilian ship. They are the official merchant ships of the Wanjie Civilization, transporting cargo resources, and operating maritime trade. Is it more useful than direct sinking?

In addition, because of the existence of Ye Qingying, Luo Ji can also choose to sell the eliminated warships to those who are in the silver position, and can make a fortune.

In this way, one thing is quickly finalized.

The list of the first 50 retired warships was quickly sent to the list.

What is surprising is that in addition to forty-one small and medium-sized warships, there are still nine battleships in this list of retired!

There is no doubt that this is naturally the meaning of Luo Ji.

Otherwise, the military will definitely take some boats out to retire, how can it not be a battleship as the backbone of the fleet!

"Your Majesty ~www.novelhall.com~ retired some of the warships to ease the financial pressure, but the minister can still understand, but directly retired nine battleships, please forgive Guo Jia can not understand!"

In the hall of the government, Guo Jia, who was full of doubts, asked directly to Luo.

In this regard, Luo Ji slowly smiled after a slight smile...

"Guo Jia, the era of big ship cannons, has passed."

Guo Jia’s brow that heard this was slightly wrinkled, and it seemed to be thoughtful.

And Luo Ji, who stood up, continued to speak without hesitation...

"In the large-scale naval battles of the former mainland on the 4th, our air force of the Wanxiang civilization was almost no match for the hundreds of steel warships in the Europa camp."

"So, what is your next intention to train the Air Force?"

"That half, then, we want to build an aircraft carrier!"
