Aspirations for Nation and Beauty Chapter 2: Iron Horse Glacier Section 42 Strategic Planning…
The Spring Festival ended in a grand and grand ceremony, followed by the customary spring wine time, when relatives and friends came and went and visited each other, announcing the arrival of a vigorous season of the year. However, when the people were still immersed in joy and peace, the media in the imperial capital began to pay attention to the frequent court meetings held by the central government of the empire after the 15th Festival of the Spring Festival. Everyone knew that the court meetings at this time would determine the future of the empire in the next year. Where will the pace go, whether to continue to maintain the momentum of external expansion, strengthen military operations and military power, or vigorously develop the economy and balance the extremely unbalanced economic system in the empire? This issue has always been the concern of the media and all walks of life.
Representatives from the Senate and Citizens' Chambers from all counties of the empire have not left. Obviously, they will also participate in the empire's central government's planning for the political, economic and cultural aspects of the empire in the coming year, except for confidential diplomatic and military aspects. Except that they are not able to participate in the discussions, they have the right to attend and speak as non-voting delegates, and they can even jointly sign the ideas and suggestions put forward to the administrative department.
During the several consecutive court meetings after the Spring Festival, the Government Council and the Privy Council were discussing the empire's plan for the year 701. Obviously, this year will be a year dominated by economic proposals. From the Government Council It can be seen that the time spent discussing government affairs accounts for more than two-thirds of the time in a consecutive cycle of meetings. All the departments have come up with their own ideas and plans. They must explain their work plan for this year at the military-political joint meeting. Only after obtaining the approval of the military-political joint meeting, especially His Majesty, can they finalize the tone Develop a standardized and complete plan. It will be determined by the Government Administration Council and coordinated with the financial department before submitting to His Majesty the Emperor for approval.
Several important projects have basically been determined before this. It was only concreted and implemented at the court meeting. The Ministry of Economic Development and the Ministry of Construction proposed to use the funds raised by the first batch of national bonds issued by the empire to carry out a series of major construction projects to promote the balanced development of various regions of the empire. Nishizawa Prefecture in the county and Fahan Prefecture in West Indian Dean built deep-water commercial ports, built and improved the strategic traffic roads from the counties of Maine County and Zhongnan County to the coastal ports of Nanhai County, and built The road that runs through the entire southern Indian region from Mus, Lahele, Goa to Caesar. These three constructions are mainly focused on transportation and shipping. It is also an important measure for the empire to strengthen its rule and influence over the newly controlled areas in the west.
The Ministry of Agriculture and Water Resources also proposed three major projects of its own. The first is the overall flood control and irrigation project in the Wuhu area to ensure that the Wuhu area will maintain its status as the empire's first granary in the next 20 years; The Sanshui Project in the entire Yanyun County, Jielu County, and the west of Beiyuan County will carry out all-round renovations on the three river systems of Huangshui, Weishui, and Daqingshui, and improve the dam and reservoir projects, so that Yanyun County and the west of Beiyuan County And Jerok County will gradually establish a complete flood control and irrigation system within five years. Strive to make the level of agriculture and water conservancy development in these three areas at or close to the current level of the Heshuo area; the third is to prepare to build Suo De'an County into the second largest granary in the empire after the Wuhu area. The empire will spend huge sums of money to renovate the seriously aging water conservancy facilities in the Solian area, and strive to make the grain output of Solian County exceed that of Jiangnan County in the next five years.
The Ministry of Administrative Affairs and the Ministry of Construction also plan to continue and build several prefectures, such as Langshan Mansion in Terok County, Kuiyang Mansion in North Luzon County, Pami Le Mansion, and Okhotsk Mansion in Beiyuan County (from Hubei Hotsk Special Administrative Region), these prefectures are either located in the frontier, or are of great significance to the promotion of the local economy. Both the military and the government attach great importance to this planning and construction project. Especially Okhotsk and Kuiyang are of great significance to the future strategic layout of the empire.
After careful analysis and demonstration, the Ministry of Finance and the Imperial Central Bank decided to follow the example of some economically developed countries and cities in the Western Continent to issue treasury bonds in 701. For five years, the interest rate is slightly higher than that of commercial deposits, but far lower than that of commercial loans. This kind of national debt has been enthusiastically sought after after it was announced, and the chambers of commerce in all counties of the empire have requested to underwrite this kind of national debt. This caught both the Imperial Central Bank and the Ministry of Finance by surprise.
The 300 million national debt was not even able to meet the requirements of the Jiangnan County Chamber of Commerce. Later, the Imperial Central Bank had to increase the national debt of 700 million imperial gold coins after urgent consultations with the imperial finance ministries, but this is still a drop in the bucket There is no demand for car salaries, especially in various Indian regions. The rich Indians who have thrown a lot of money hope to obtain stable and risk-free returns by purchasing government bonds, and they are tightly distributed to each county in the Indian region. The amount of 100 million was almost a robbery, and even caused riots, and the counties in the interior of the empire also expressed dissatisfaction with the Indian Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank's priority, which even triggered the intervention of the Overwatch Council and the lawsuit of the Court of Justice, demanding The Imperial Board of Supervisors and the Trial Court corrected this distribution scheme that was obviously discriminatory in regions.
In the end, the Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank of the Empire increased the national debt of 500 million imperial gold coins after considering the financial repayment ability of the empire, and said that they would increase the national debt of 500 million imperial gold coins in the second half of 701 to barely make it. The turmoil subsided.
The great success of the issuance of the Empire's treasury bonds gave the Empire relatively sufficient financial support, and it also gave the Empire's Ministry of Economic Development, Ministry of Construction, and Ministry of Agriculture and Water Resources the confidence to put forward their respective plans in a grand manner.
The Privy Council also put forward their own ideas. In view of the fact that both the military and government of the empire have determined that the national policy of 701 is based on economic development, the two Privy Council envoys have proposed strategies to stabilize the army and vigorously develop the navy based on the actual situation. Under the premise of preserving the current 14 army regiments and 10 cavalry regiments, disband and reorganize some other irregularly organized army units, and reorganize and supplement them with other army regiments in their respective theaters to improve the army's mobile combat capability and durable combat capability. Large-scale exercises ensure that the empire can complete the delivery of one legion to any place in the empire within two months under any circumstances, and complete the projection of three to four legions within three months.
In terms of naval planning, the Privy Council has also made regular adjustments to the naval military system. The Navy no longer has the post of naval commander, but only the commander-in-chief of the navy (water) army. The commander-in-chief of the navy also serves as the assistant to the Privy Council of the Empire , The Imperial Navy consists of three oceanic fleets, an inland water fleet, nine marine divisions, and specialized naval intelligence bureaus, naval staff training bureaus, and naval logistics bureaus.
Although the Privy Council gave up the large-scale expansion of the army, the government council still complained about the lion's mouth in the navy, especially the rapid expansion of the Marine Division, which many government officials thought was equivalent to two The Army Corps also established a special Naval Intelligence Bureau, which is independent of the two intelligence agencies of the Empire. This is equivalent to throwing all the funds that the Army could not reduce to the Navy. There is no decrease, and there is even an increasing trend.
However, the officials of the Privy Council also argued hard, especially because of the incorporation of Sikkim Island in the southwest region and the incorporation of the Sporades Islands in the Baltic Sea and the Aegean Sea, the empire has become an ocean with three sides facing the sea and a long coastline. If a big country wants to better defend the maritime rights and interests of the empire, it must build a powerful imperial navy. At this stage, the imperial navy has not even established a basic structure. If it wants to compete with those naval powers in the Western Continent There is still a long way to go. Therefore, the empire has to invest more and spend more in the initial construction. Only in this way can the distance between the imperial navy and the navies of other powerful countries be gradually narrowed~IndoMTL.com~ The discussion about the development direction of the empire in 701 and the next few years continues It took two full weeks before the tone was barely settled, during which representatives of the Imperial Senate and the Civic Chamber also put forward some demands and ideas representing their respective regions and classes, while the imperial military plans related to military secrets were in a very small range. It also caused a lot of controversy on whether to agree with Cui Wenxiu's proposal to seize Namli and Northwest Indian in the middle of 701, and it was finally determined that in principle, it does not support large-scale military operations in the middle of 701. , but as the military commander of the Central Mainland Theater, he also has the right to take necessary actions under special circumstances. If military action is taken in an emergency, there must be sufficient and sufficient reasons to explain the reason for the action. Some of the ambiguous and vague language used in the words of Bo Jinchen, the right privy envoy of the Imperial Privy Council, is to conduct military action for Cui Wenxiu Looking for an excuse, of course he will bear greater responsibility.
The Privy Council of the Empire also confirmed that after the end of the autumn of 701, the imperial military will complete preparations for military operations against the Machi Khanate. And the military operations in the three provinces of Rhonesia, the military's work in 701 is more to prepare for the action at the end of the year, and the diplomatic department will cooperate with the military to do a good job of persuading the Triple Alliance headed by Milan. Consolidate the cooperative relationship with the Triple Alliance and prevent it from falling back or joining the alliance with the Machihans and the Nanyang Alliance.
