Chapter 672 Poor Navy

Zhou Zhibai and Song Tong returned to Donghua first, but after knowing that Chen Huai would stay in Xucheng in the past two days, and especially knowing that someone reported such a major incident of Xiapu land acquisition violation to the Ministry of Agriculture, Song Hongjun also made a special trip from Hong Kong to meet Chen Huai in the afternoon.

When Chen Huai came back from the retirement house, everyone sat in the living room to talk about things - Cheng Yi did not go back to work today and would stay for dinner tonight.

Even though she knew that Cui Xiangdong was willing to run around for the location of the Huaihai Fleet's garrison base, Song Hongjun was still a little worried and said, "Mr. Cui is a kind-hearted person from the ancient road, but this matter may not be enough to make him excited..."

The Huaihai Fleet, including its home port, currently has two army-level support bases and three division-level berthing bases. As for the current domestic investment in national defense forces, the Huaihai Fleet wants to build a new support base, and the division-level berthing base is the division-level berthing base.

However, even Song Hongjun, who was not very concerned about national defense, knew that the location and construction of a naval division-level garrison base were not something that could be decided within the Huaihai Fleet. Even the Navy Command would eventually obey the opinions of the Military Commission on this issue.

As one of the early founding generals of the Huaihai Fleet, Cui Xiangdong would consult with veteran cadres on the issue of the location of the new stationed base, but Song Hongjun was not confident whether Cui Xiangdong could directly affect the decision-making level of this matter.

"Cui Yongping may be transferred to the Huaihai Fleet as deputy commander in the near future," Song Wenhui knocked on her forehead and asked Chen Huai, "Did you say you were going to Yanjing? Are you trying to find Cui Yongping?"

"Is there still a play?" Song Hongjun was stunned when he heard his younger sister-in-law Song Wenhui say this and asked Chen Huai, "Did you have already come out?"

Cheng Yi sat aside and looked at Chen Huai in surprise. This incident made Cui Xiangdong, who had been retreating from the army for nearly twenty years, push it, and it was a bit difficult, but if Cui Yongping really wanted to serve as deputy commander in the Huaihai Fleet, it would be completely different for Cui Yongping to promote it.

After all, the most important thing is how can Cui Yongping be willing to come to this muddy water?

Perhaps other active naval executives will not pay special attention to Cui Xiangdong's opinions. Cui Yongping is Cui Xiangdong's son, so he may not be able to ignore Cui Xiangdong's opinions.

Only then did Cheng Yi understand why she and Chen Huai left the restroom. Cui Xiangdong kept saying that he fell into the pit dug by Chen Huai. It turned out that Cui Xiangdong knew that Chen Huai hoped that he could feed the relevant suggestions to his son Cui Yongping...

"..." Chen Huai smiled bitterly, "It's not a place that has been arrived a long time ago. I only recently learned that Cui Yongping might be transferred to the Huaihai Fleet. At first, I never thought that the things on both sides could be combined."

Seeing that Song Hongjun and the others were not convinced, Chen Huai said in more detail: "Xiapu is now jointly engaged in the construction of coastal defense highways with the Navy. In addition to this, the Navy has two infrastructure teams, directly participating in the infrastructure project of Xinpu Port, so I am relatively more informative about the information on the Navy than Hongjun. In fact, even if this is not the case, I hope that the Huaihai Fleet can build the new garrison base in Xiapu. However, the local area will not give so many preferential conditions, but will in turn rely on the construction of the garrison base and camp, which can further promote the foundation of the northern coastal area of ​​Xiapu. Improvement of infrastructure. In addition to military ports and camps, there are still many infrastructures that can be shared by the military and civilians. The navy has long conducted repeated investigations on the coast of Huaihai Bay. As far as I know, the Xinpu North Film clearly includes one of the three main alternative addresses, and has been discussed many times within the fleet. However, with regard to the current domestic investment in naval construction, even if the Huaihai Fleet decides to set up a new stationed base in Xinpu, it is likely that it will be delayed for several years when the Military Commission allocates funds to start construction. In that case, for us, the far water cannot save the near fire..."

Song Hongjun could understand Chen Huai's overall plan at this time:

Some people encouraged the Ministry of Agriculture to investigate the illegal land acquisition of Xiapu. If the Navy Huaihai Fleet now uses the land requisitioned in Xiapu County to build a berth base, and the Ministry of Agriculture still wants to investigate Xiapu's problem, it will drag the Huaihai Fleet directly in - this is obviously not a risk that the Ministry of Agriculture or other central ministries and commissions are willing to take.

If there is no promotion, if the Ministry of Agriculture or other central ministries and commissions punished Xiapu, the Navy decided to build the base in Xinpu and start construction, it would be of no help in solving the current problems.

To muddle the water so that people cannot talk about the land acquisition in Xiapu, you must put these two things together.

Song Hongjun slapped his thigh and said, "I think this will be done. The Navy is poor now!"

Chen Huai nodded. After all, his reliance was not only that Cui Xiangdong was upright and could speak for them, but more importantly, the navy was currently in poverty.

Not only is the Navy alone or the Huaihai Fleet poor, the entire army is poor.

It is unlikely that ordinary county and department-level cadres will know the details of the national defense expenditure budget, but it is not a secret for those who have sources of information like Chen Huai.

In 1997, the national defense expenditure was only 80 billion yuan. In addition to deducting the daily life, training and maintenance expenses of more than 3 million officers and soldiers in the entire army, the funds for the construction of new equipment are extremely limited. Moreover, this part of the funds must be divided into the three navy, army, air force, and the navy must be distributed to the four major fleets - if they are on the Huaihai Fleet, there may be less than 400 million to 500 million.

As one of the four main fleets of the Republic's Navy, the Huaihai Fleet's annual funding for new ship equipment and new infrastructure construction is less than 400 million to 500 million, so the military expenditure is conceivable.

The Huaihai Fleet has been in the idea of ​​building a new stationed base in the Huaihai Bay area for many years. Including the construction of the Huaihai Bay coastal defense road, it has long been among the plans of the Navy's Logistics Support Department.

It was only because of the shortage of military expenditure that the coastal defense highway still took out major funds on the local government and actively promoted it that construction was started in sections.

In addition to the docking wharf, the construction of the new docking base also involves the construction of a series of supporting facilities such as camps, living areas, hospitals, schools, and construction plants, which require a larger amount of capital investment.

Although national defense construction can be divided from local areas for free, resettlement and compensation for demolition people must be included in national defense funds. This is another expense that the Huaihai Fleet must pay before starting the construction of a new base.

So the naval department has ideas for many things, but in the end, it was because of lack of money and nothing could be pushed.

Now, without discussing other preferential conditions, Xiapu County directly gave the Navy thousands of acres of land for free to build a new berth base. For the military, tens of millions of demolition and resettlement funds were saved directly - this was naturally not tempting for the Huaihai Fleet, which even had buttons on the military uniform.

Of course, in addition to the free supply of land required for the construction of the berth base, there are also many facilities shared by the military and civilians, and local governments can also invest in the construction, which can further save funds for the military.

Song Wenhui nodded and said, "Opportunities are always left to those who do things. The early construction of coastal defense highways has laid a good foundation. Although Cui Yongping was cold, he did not completely keep people from thousands of miles away. This may be possible - if this idea can be supported by Tian Jiageng, it would be better..."

Chen Huai nodded and said, "Tian Jiageng will not be back from Yanjing tomorrow. I will mention this to him..."

***************************

After leaving my sister-in-law's house, Chen Huai drove Cheng Yi back to the dormitory. The night was already very deep, and Chen Huai parted with Cheng Yi downstairs.

Cheng Yi walked into the hall and turned around again. Chen Huai turned off the starting car, pressed the window and asked, "What's wrong? I won't invite me upstairs so late, right? I'm really not prepared!"

"Go, it's so beautiful for you," Cheng Yi glared at Chen Huai coquettishly, thinking that if Chen Huai went upstairs to sit for a while at this time, wouldn't it mean that he could stay overnight? He felt so beautiful! He reached out and patted Shen Huai's head gently, and said, "I'll ask you, do you want me to tell my father about these things that happened in Xiapu during this period?"

Chen Huai was also stunned when he heard Cheng Yi's question.

He had not had contact with Cheng Yi's father several times. Even if he had few contacts, others were present. Cheng Yi's father was an elder and a junior, and there was no chance of equal dialogue. Therefore, he could not directly understand Cheng Yi's father Cheng Wenguang. Although Cheng Yi's father's attitude was extremely vague in maintaining his recent relationship with Cheng Yi, according to his sister-in-law's judgment of Cheng Yi's father's kindness and tolerance, Chen Huai still couldn't figure out what Cheng Yi's father was thinking.

Chen Huai didn't know if Cheng Yi's father was worth asking for help, or if he might even leak key information in advance and make things more and more out of control.

Or maybe Cheng Yi simply hopes that her father can be a helper here, or maybe Cheng Yi knows her father’s real thoughts better—Chen Huai pondered for a moment: “I don’t know if you want to tell your father about this, you decide; anyway, my son-in-law hasn’t gotten any advantage yet. If he loses it, he will probably feel heartbroken for a while…”

"What do you want to get a bargain?" Cheng Yi asked coquettishly as she heard Chen Huai's words, and felt that this was a little warm. She pursed her lips embarrassedly and said, "Then I will decide whether to call my dad and why do you call - but if I messed up the matter, don't blame me."
