Chapter 206: Economy and future strategy

The war is fighting the economy, and what is fighting is the finances. A single fiscal revenue cannot support a modern army.
Cai Ruichen, whose goal is modern Iraq, has now been upgraded to a three-year level when formulating future development plans.
Three-year plan, six-year plan, and nine-year strategy.
Among them, the nine-year strategy is the most important. This is the most direct way to judge a strategist's vision.
Cai Ruichen, who owns a red police base, naturally has more opportunities than any country in the world.
Sitting on the two worlds of the present and the wasteland, there is no doubt about the potential for future development.
But no matter how powerful the base is, money must also be used. Funds can be used to produce weapons and equipment, which can supplement consumption for war.
But what about consumption outside of war? Simply put, in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation, the base cannot provide food, nor can it provide food, clothing, and housing for the people in the ruled areas.
If I say that I have everything with an army, then such people can only be said to be true visionaries.
An army without a popular base is destined to be impossible to become a powerful army.
Which country should not consider public opinion? Which armed force is not trying to get the support of the locals?
Why do those extreme organizations have space and soil to survive? Why does the Islamic State not resist the people in the occupied areas?
Simply put, it is public opinion.
If the Red Police Corps takes control of Iraq in the future, it will naturally have to consider how to make the people support itself.
This is the eternal truth. From beginning to end, there has never been a dynasty that can survive after losing popular support.
The capital of the base cannot be used to maintain the foundation of the country's economic structure. It is only a digital product that the base uses to produce goods, not a currency that can be used in reality.
It can only be understood as a virtual currency in the game, which is not true at all.
In order to build a country that can support the powerful Red Police Corps in the future, Cai Ruichen must develop a powerful country even if he is reluctant.
This country not only needs a complete industrial system, but also has strong economic capabilities.
Why does the United States own ten aircraft carriers? How can you transfer to an aircraft carrier without money?
Let alone ten super aircraft carriers. Even if it is a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier, if you give it to any third world country, they can't even support it.
Including the gift to the current Iraq, even if the Iraqi government has a daily income of hundreds of billions of dollars. But it really can't even support such an aircraft carrier.
However, it can only rely on fiscal revenue from a single source of income, and there is a huge shortcoming in the fiscal revenue of the Iraqi government.
That is, even a trace of economic warfare can't be afforded. International oil prices have dropped again and again, and the annual fiscal revenue of the Iraqi government has also been plummeting.
And now the international crude oil market. OPEC alone has hundreds of millions of barrels of crude oil piled up without anyone buying it, and oil prices have fallen below the level of 60 US dollars per barrel.
There used to be ninety dollars a barrel. The fiscal revenue of the Iraqi government is 100 billion, but now it is less than 50 billion US dollars, because there is still a large amount of hoarding crude oil that cannot be sold.
otherwise. This is the most direct reason why the Iraqi government cannot afford to provide companies to the areas occupied by the Islamic State.
In just a few years. Fiscal revenue has shrunk in half, which is as simple as a fatal word for a country. Almost everything is going to be over.
This is the serious shortcoming of Iraq's economy, which is completely supported by oil.
But except for oil exports, Iraq is all imports, and there is nothing else that can be exported.
For products sold domestically, no one even wants to use the dinar issued by the Iraqi government, and all settlements have reached the level of only US dollars.
In Cai Ruichen's view, we must barely guarantee the normal life of the people, but the current oil income alone cannot even maintain it.
How can you not make good use of a strong base? The high profit conversion rate of commodities brought about by capital is a huge financial avenue.
A financial path that no one can intervene and stop. If one day, Iraq under his occupation can reach an annual fiscal revenue of more than one trillion US dollars, then he will have the confidence to launch a large-scale foreign war.
Otherwise, even the Red Police Corps will not be able to support the Red Police Corps when it comes to supporting a war.
If you want to raise an army that can counteract a global hegemon like the United States, you need at least five trillion dollars in annual financial support.
And this five trillion US dollars is still the most basic guarantee, and it is also necessary to ensure that during the war, the opponent will not cut off the supply of raw materials or financial supplies.
Just like Russia, as soon as the United States joins Saudi Arabia, the national finances are in immediate crisis. Unless it is converted to a war economy and then a war comes, the only way to quickly adjust the economic strategy.
The same is true for the future Red Police Corps. It is money to fight war, and money is needed to develop and maintain basic social services.
To gain support from the people, the most basic thing is to enable them to get the most affordable benefits.
In general, everything is for money.
Otherwise, Cai Ruichen also likes to be straightforward and rude, regardless of other tyrannical soldiers.
Let alone the issue of public support, just talk about the daily income and consumption of a base.
Such a simple and direct method is indeed very cool, but it is not invincible after all, and it is even more unlikely that tens of thousands of soldiers can hit the entire world's power level.
What if the base funding falls into a state of unsustainability? With a daily income of 500,000 yuan, the fighting intensity that can be supported is nothing more than the scale of ten thousand people.
The daily capital income of 5 million ~EbookFREE.me~ can barely support the high-intensity war consumption of an army of 200,000 people.
But there are not so many minerals around the base that can be recovered, so at that level, Cai Ruichen must also consider seeking new funding recovery channels.
Up to this point, money is still needed to support it. It is said that money can make things difficult to do without money.
Therefore, Cai Ruichen will use the future technology group to develop the economy so carefully.
He wants not only the resources that can be used in the wasteland world, but also the world's technological economy.
For the future strategy, the economy of the Future Technology Group is the most important link.
Even if the Red Police Corps develops slowly, it must pave a wider fast lane for future economic goals, so as to avoid that once it develops at a high speed in the future, the economic development speed will not keep up.
Moreover, this kind of high-tech economy is least afraid of the challenges of economic wars, because it is based on top-notch technological products, and is a solid economy of strength. (To be continued.) Enable new URL
