Chapter 152 Expansion of the army, the definition of genius(1/2)
If you want to swallow up the Yuan Dynasty, which is more than eight times the area of ten thousand cycling countries, you must have enough troops.
So in Wancheng, dozens of practice academies in China, all students who went to the fifth grade received enthusiastic invitations from the national defense recruitment department.
Invitation to join the Wehrmacht.
The treatment offered is extremely high.
Linked to cultivation, even if a monk in the early stage of condensation can earn 1 million yuan a year after joining the National Defense Forces.
The late stage of condensation is 2 million.
If you are an immortal in the Gudan stage, even in the early stage of Gudan stage, your income will be increased sharply to 10 million per year.
And these incomes are just the most basic service salary.
It does not include mission subsidies, military rank bonuses and the most anticipated "military merit rewards".
Of course, if you are unfortunately injured or died in battle, the state will also give him or his family a pension that is sufficient for living.
However, because Wan Chengguo's weapons are advanced, the army is extremely elite, and the casualty rate is extremely small, so there is no need to worry about large-scale casualties.
For example, the third fleet that swallowed the Southern Yuanzhou, the death toll was only 33 in three years of military operations, and the risk of joining the army was extremely low.
So listening to these rumored introductions from the recruitment staff, Zhou Ming felt a moment of heartbeat.
"This military treatment is really great, right?"
Zhou Ming was secretly shocked.
If the National Defense Forces expand the amount of troops from the previous 300,000 to 500,000, the median is calculated based on the average annual income of 2 million yuan per soldier, the annual military expenditure of ten thousand yuan, and the salary of the employees alone will cost 1 trillion spiritual coins?
It does not include the cost of equipment purchase and daily training.
If the war begins, expenditure will increase exponentially.
Such a money-burning activity can really support the treasury of the country?
Zhou Ming nodded, and he really supported it.
Because Wancheng's domestic refining factories, alchemy factories, major investments, large amounts of infrastructure, foreign trade and exports, countless units with huge profits are state-owned... These units can generate trillions of profits every year, and their GDP contribution accounts for 45% of the country.
It is said that in the treasury of Wancheng Kingdom, there were accumulated wealth worth more than 50 trillion spiritual coins, and there was even no place to put them.
However, money shortages often occur among the people... This means that a large amount of money is stored in the treasury and does not participate in market activities, which will damage the healthy development of the real economy.
However, spending this money with big hand can easily induce corruption among officials, not only will it cause corruption among the public, but the inflation among the people will also be extremely serious, leading to rising prices.
Through the export of goods to foreign countries, nearly 1 trillion spiritual coins are invested in Wancheng Country every year. If these funds cannot be effectively "managed", they will also cause inflation in Wancheng Country.
Therefore, the treasury of Wancheng Country played a role as a "reservoir" to curb the rapid rise in prices.
But... 50 trillion spiritual coins must be spent, and they cannot have a significant impact on the normal lives of billions of people.
Military expenses.
Increased military expenditure is a better solution.
Therefore, Wanchengguo expanded his army and considered solving the problem of excessive treasury funds.
But this consideration is only secondary.
The most important consideration is to serve external expansion.
The area of the Yuan Dynasty is more than four times that of the Southern Yuan Dynasty. To conquer the Yuan Dynasty, a fleet is not enough, so at least four must be sent!
But the country needs to retain strength to defend, so it plans to recruit 200,000 troops and add two new fleets.
So we can see that the National Defense Forces recruitment department in Daxian Academy is in full swing for fifth-grade students, and the treatment is extremely attractive.
The fifth grade is an internship year, and students can go out to find a job or join the army. When it comes to considering future opportunities.
The guaranteed annual salary of 1 million or 2 million is a treatment that is impossible to get in society when doing any work.
For example, the most popular high-paying profession - the Airbus pilot, has an annual income of only 800,000 to 1.5 million, which is said to be very hard.
Joining the National Defense Forces is not only not very hard, but the treatment is higher than that of pilots, and there are also various vacations and benefits.
What else do you need to consider?
In Zhou Ming's class, more than 40 students and 32 of them joined the National Defense Forces.
Even brothers such as Chen En, Zhang Yu, Lei Zuo Lei You seemed to consider joining the National Defense Forces.
Zhou Ming quickly stopped them and told them not to join the army.
"Why don't you let me go, boss? My family is just a farmer with average conditions. Unlike your young master of the Bai family, I have to consider my future." Chen En said. In fact, he has his own plans and does not want to rely on boss forever.
"Yes, boss, we can't always rely on you." Lei Zuo also said.
"If you just want to make more money, whether it is making movies or setting up a transportation company, I have a way to make you earn more than 10 million yuan a year, but I suggest you better not join the army. This is not a job with absolute security, and war is not a game. Sooner or later, there will be casualties, or even heavy casualties. I hope you will consider it clearly before making a decision."
Through the mysterious channel, Zhou Ming knew that Wan Chengguo would soon attack the Yuanzhou. Now it is still the stage of preparing for sharpening the knife. The target of the civil legion is also set at 4,000, and basically everyone has the opportunity. If the preparations are sufficient, winning the Yuanzhou may not be a delusion.
But what about the expected losses?
It will definitely be larger than conquering the Southern Yuan Continent, and may even exceed the ability of the Wancheng Kingdom.
And this is not necessarily a bad thing. Only by understanding the risks of war can we take it with caution.
Only by experiencing a few failures can those overburning desires for aggression be extinguished.
Hearing Zhou Ming's words, Chen En and the others thought carefully.
The boss's opinion is always right... This is their judgment that has formed inertia.
In addition, they followed their eldest son for seven or eight years from the middle school to higher education. They were very clear about their eldest son’s character.
Follow him, he will never let you suffer any loss.
Instead, you can get endless benefits.
For example, the secrets of martial arts in middle school.
I made several movies at Daxian Academy, and each of them received at least tens of millions of dollars in paid.
With all kinds of favors, they found that the longer they followed their boss, the more things they got, the more they felt indebted.
They said they were going to join the army, but in fact they really didn't want to owe the boss the favors anymore, otherwise they would never feel they would be able to pay it back.
Recently, the boss told them that after graduating from the college, they can travel to Xianshan together, make a few movies, or create a transportation company, and make some money while going to foreign countries to explore, travel around the world and broaden their horizons. Wouldn't that be great?
This is much better than staying in the army for ten or twenty years.
More free.
"You are brothers, just be brothers for life. You are willing to follow me and I will take you to see more scenery."
Zhou Ming looked at them with gentle eyes, making their hearts warm, and he couldn't help but nod.
"Okay, we'll still not join the army."
Chen En and the others canceled their plans to join the army.
However, Luo Xiaopang, Jin Songming, who were studying at Jinyan Academy thousands of miles away, and because Zhou Ming had little communication with them, they could not withstand the temptation of recruiting personnel, they all joined the National Defense Forces and had entered the army. The letters they wrote were full of excitement and praise for military life.
Zhou Ming had no choice but to wish them happiness and peace.
So, what are Zhou Ming’s next plan?
Go back to your hometown to get married.
The old man who is over 90 years old is really out of reach. His biggest wish is to hold his great-grandson before he dies. His family also wrote letters to urge him more than a dozen times. Zhou Ming, who was twenty, had to return to his hometown and attend the extremely grand wedding.
This wedding attracted the attention of the whole country, and more than one million guests came to attend the wedding.
Among these guests, some came to send blessings, some came to admire the fairy's beauty, and some were jealous and angry and came to find fault with their swords.
In order to prevent accidents, Zhou Ming ordered people to set up a giant arena, intending to challenge 100 "heroes in the world". Any young genius who consciously is a hero can come on stage to challenge. If anyone can defeat him, he will give up marrying Fairy Mu and no longer have any interaction with her.
The challenge period is only three days.
In other words, he will defeat one hundred geniuses who challenge him within three days.
As soon as Zhou Ming said this, the whole country was shocked and uproared.
"Challenge hundreds of geniuses, who do you think you are?"
"Bai Feiyang, what do you regard the heroes of the world as? Are you a miscellaneous soldier who can be defeated at will?"
"Arrogant, too arrogant!"
"The No. 1 madman in Wancheng Country!"
"I want to challenge him, I want to tell him not to come out of Taiwan!"
"Bai Feiyang, I must defeat you! Fairy Mu is mine!" Chao Yuanhao, who was once defeated by Zhou Ming, said gritting his teeth.
Even Mu Feiyan, who was far away in Xingtang City, wrote a letter, saying worryingly: Feiyang, just say you can challenge ten, one hundred, you are too lazy.
Even though Mu Feiyan knew that his true cultivation had reached the middle stage of Gudan, he would not consume enough to defeat hundreds of geniuses within three days.
But Zhou Ming's words have been released, and geniuses from all over the country are rushing to Xuanqing City, and there is no room for those words to be taken back.
So with the attention of the national media, this world-renowned arena competition started.
To be continued...
