Chapter 1495 Joining NATO

Chapter 1497 Joining NATO

In fact, no one naturally likes to tighten their belts and live a life. In fact, in the past hundred years, I have been afraid of being hungry and poor.

To this day, I am still reluctant to part with anything, for fear that I will suddenly have a hard life again.

But the situation has long been different. Du Fei really can't imagine that today he has big mushrooms, Dongfeng-5, H-8 bombers, and mushroom submarines... Why can't he live with these big killers in his hands? Have a good life? Why are those bullshit invaders and colonists so fat that they eat one and throw away two, but we ordinary people have to suffer and starve?

Originally, I had enough to protect myself, but I had no ability to fight out. I had no ability to fight out.

The situation is different now. After taking over Nanyang, the food problem has been completely solved. Huaguo has become qualified to live without having to tighten his belt as before.

It’s time for our people to experience the happiness brought by “surplus” and “waste”.

After listening to Du Fei's fallacies, Dad Zhu thought quickly and pondered the profound meaning.

Obviously Du Fei did not really advocate waste. Dad Zhu grasped the key points and said in a deep voice: "You want to... liberalize the supply of social consumer goods?"

Although the economy has improved in recent years, the supply of social consumer goods is still under control. In addition to food and clothing, many other things still need to be purchased with tickets.

Du Fei nodded and said: "Dad, you just said that we found that economic growth is slowing down. In my opinion, if we want to maintain high growth, it is time to let go of consumption. Our consumption level is too low. Logically speaking, we should With the level of wages and benefits, there is no need to save money at all, and you can even consume ahead of time through loans..."

At present, workers are the owners of factories. Once they become workers, as long as they do not break the law, they have lifelong tenure and there is no unemployment problem at all.

Du Fei continued: "However, the actual situation is that our consumption has always been maintained at a very low level. The three carriages of economic growth are investment, exports and consumption. In recent years, we have been driven by investment, and exports are driven by external factors. Although environmental restrictions have opened up the gap in Nanyang, they are far from being a support. All that is left is consumption.”

Dad Zhu frowned and smoked. Regarding Du Fei's troika, there were not many new ideas.

Similar statements were made at previous economic work conferences.

It's just that under the current circumstances, liberalizing consumption is not a trivial matter and will bring many unpredictable impacts.

But if we do not let go and continue to maintain the status quo, we must tolerate a slowdown in economic growth.

What is even more worrying is that once the investment drive becomes unsustainable, the Balbo War ends, the arms trade stops, oil profits will also be significantly reduced, and economic development is likely to stagnate or even reverse.

How to choose?

This is no longer something Du Fei can decide, not even Zhu's father can decide.

Regarding this issue, we must discuss it collectively and finally come up with a more prudent plan.

It was enough for Du Fei to just say what he thought.

However, in Du Fei's view, the subsequent liberalization of consumption is the general trend. After all, a large number of factories have been invested and built in recent years, and the production capacity of all walks of life will soon reach a higher level.

When foreign trade exports are restricted, if consumption is not relaxed, products will inevitably be unsalable, and no one can bear the consequences.

Following this question, Du Fei raised another question, which was to raise wages.

"Dad, if you want to stimulate consumption, inflation and wage increases must be considered in advance."

Dad Zhu's expression became more serious.

In the eyes of this generation, inflation is not a good thing, and it is even easy to think of Principal Chang’s legal currency.

But from a dialectical perspective, nothing is absolutely good or absolutely bad.

In order to stimulate consumption right now, inflation is a necessary tool.

The current bank interest rate is not as high as it was in the world before Du Fei's time in the same era.

In the world before Duffy's time travel, interest rates were very high in order to raise more deposits due to a lack of construction funds.

Even now, bank time deposit interest rates are above 5%. Without inflation, people will just deposit their money in banks and wait to earn interest.

Once inflation starts, it will definitely cause a negative impression. After all, the money in everyone's hands is worthless, and no one will be happy if it is left alone.

Therefore, there must be a hedge, which is to increase wages.

Inflation reduces past wealth, while wage increases increase expectations for the future.

Existing wealth is shrinking, but future income can be expected, and consumption will naturally be boosted.

…

Coming out of Dad Zhu's side, Du Fei couldn't help but take a deep breath.

In November, the cold air is inhaled along the nose and into the lungs, making the whole person feel energetic instantly.

It will be 1980 in one month!

The 1980s was a time of special significance in Du Fei's memory.

But in this world, the 1980s must be completely different from the 1980s in his memory.

This time, we can face capital with more dignity.

Ride back to the fire equipment company.

The road was being widened nearby, and Du Fei got off the car some distance away and walked back to his unit.

I have become accustomed to taking cars in the past few years, and it has been a long time since I walked down the street in front of the fire equipment company, so it feels a bit strange.

I don’t know when the entire street was rebuilt, from the original dilapidated cement road to a black asphalt road.

In order to widen the road, the street trees on the street are gone.

Looking far along the street, there is a half-built construction site. I don’t know what unit’s family building it is…

Du Fei retracted his gaze and walked up the steps.

The gate has been renovated and painted with bright red cinnabar. The door that the fire equipment company originally opened on the side has been sealed.

Du Fei walked into the main gate, but there were not many people inside.

The researchers who were originally in the Zhonglu Institute had long moved to the new building of the Fire Technology University.

At present, only the company’s administrative department remained here.

Du Fei walked inside and planned to go back to the office through the moon door.

A figure came out from inside and saw Du Fei and exclaimed: "Manager!"

"Xiaobai~" Du Fei smiled and responded. The person opposite him wearing a sky blue woolen coat and holding a file bag was Zhou Xiaobai.

Zhou Xiaobai, who was born in 1951, is no longer the little girl she used to be. At the age of 27 or 28, she has long lost her childishness. She married Zhang Haiyang without any setbacks three years ago and gave birth to a big fat boy the following year.

Du Fei was not in Beijing at the time, and Zhu Ting attended the wedding on his behalf.

On the other hand, Zhong Yuemin had already started a family in Shanbei, and married the daughter of Li Yuanchao's third uncle.

All the ties ended before they began, and they each had their own lives.

After saying hello, Du Fei walked inside and went into the original front yard, and did not meet anyone else.

Until he came to the inner yard, he saw Shen Jianing was about to go out, and when he saw Du Fei, he stopped and said, "I just happened to be looking for you."

Du Fei smiled and called "sister", and went to the office with Shen Jianing.

Secretary Zhang, who was guarding here, heard the movement and immediately came out to greet him.

Shen Jianing sat down, and without waiting for Secretary Zhang to serve tea, she said unhappily: "You care about killing but not burying!"

Du Fei smiled and said: "Sister, who made you angry?"

Shen Jianing rolled her eyes: "Who can make me angry? It's you! You mentioned the tractor and tricycle plan and acted like a hands-off boss. You want to use me as a coolie~"

Du Fei was stunned at first, then reacted and said with a smile: "Oh~ I don't care about it!"

Shen Jianing said: "I am making a fuss~"

At this time, Secretary Zhang brought the tea, and Du Fei stood up and took it and put it in front of Shen Jianing: "Sister, look at you, why are you so anxious."

Shen Jianing rolled her eyes again, took out a document from her bag, threw it to Du Fei and said: "Take a look, is it okay?"

Du Fei didn't care about the other party's attitude, took it and looked at it carefully.

No wonder Shen Jianing was angry, it was really Du Fei who was so busy in the past month that he could not see anyone.

Before this, he had just discussed with Shen Jianing that he planned to separate an agricultural machinery factory from the tractor factory to specialize in small agricultural machinery needed in rural areas, hand-held tractors, diesel tricycles, and mini cars similar to Wuling.

Du Fei talked about the issue of popularizing small cars in cities before, and thought that the time was not yet ripe.

But in contrast, he believed that agricultural machinery going to the countryside could be implemented immediately.

Although farmers now have no money and cannot afford various agricultural machinery, they can buy agricultural machinery in villages.

However, the current situation may have new changes. Once the consumption model is to be started, it must not be limited to cities. Rural issues must be considered.

According to the current situation, entering the consumption model will inevitably lead to inflation.

There are almost no deposits in rural areas, and inflation has little impact on this aspect, but the subsequent life pressure will inevitably increase.

Regarding this aspect, the government must give subsidies, on the one hand, in terms of food prices, and on the other hand, in-kind subsidies.

Through the financial system or loans, in-kind support is given, and the most important way is to implement this kind of small agricultural machinery in the village.

There are nearly 5 million natural villages in Guo, and if each village has a tractor, that means 5 million tractors, plus tricycles and other agricultural machinery.

Without anything else, this item alone can drive at least one percentage point of economic growth every year in the next three to five years.

When Du Fei finished talking about the new situation, Shen Jianing couldn't help but be surprised.

"Five million tractors!" Shen Jianing swallowed his saliva. The scale of the tractor factory of the fire equipment company, even if all other projects were stopped and all efforts were made to produce small tractors, would only produce 100,000 tractors a year at most. Including the factories in Guo, it is not certain whether they can produce 1 million tractors.

Hearing about this situation, Shen Jianing's mood turned from cloudy to sunny.

...

At the same time, far away in America, at a vacation villa in Florida.

Nico and General Ford were lying on the lounge chairs under the awning, with the sun, the beach, and the sea breeze blowing in their faces, looking particularly comfortable.

But at this time, the two were not so relaxed.

This 30th anniversary review ceremony brought a huge impact to the whole world, including America.

Ford took a sip of iced juice and said in a deep voice: "Some people have been exaggerating the threat of Huaguo recently..."

Nico snorted. Of course he knew, and even knew who was behind that person.

After he stepped down, Rockfield endured for a while and finally began to stir.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Ford next to him.

This successor he carefully selected was not as obedient as before after two years as the commander-in-chief.

This was all within his expectations. Power has always been a wonderful thing, and time is equally wonderful. They can change many things. Now the two are combined together...

Nico knew that some things could not be relied on by character, and more powerful measures must be taken.

Just like this time, if Ford is willing to help, he will not let this situation ferment.

Now exaggerating the threat of Huaguo is tantamount to fundamentally denying Nico's political strategy and his greatest political legacy.

It should be said that those Rockfields are very politically savvy, and they are attacking Nico's weak points.

Faced with such an attack, Nico cannot retreat, and there is no room for retreat.

Once he retreats, there is an abyss behind him.

Nico moved his body, looked at the half-white chest hair on his chest swaying in the wind, and suddenly said: "Invite them to join NATO, what do you think?"

Ford was stunned, and for a moment he thought he had heard it wrong.

Then he realized that Nico was not joking, and he couldn't help but sit up and look over: "Richard, you are not joking~"

Nico looked at him, shrugged and said: "Joking? No, I think this is good. In President Roosevelt's plan, we and Huaguo are allies, and now there is just a slight change."

Ford looked helpless, thinking that this is a little change?

Roosevelt faced President Chang at the beginning, who are they facing now?

It's completely different.

But it doesn't matter. What matters is that Nico said this, and he wasn't joking.

He has obviously made up his mind to defend the political structure he established... at all costs!

Ford couldn't help but take a deep breath. Nico's determination and toughness made him feel difficult.

Nico's words were obviously not impromptu, but after careful consideration. He continued: "Jera, this is good for all of us, especially you! If you get this done, you will become a great commander who will leave an important mark in history."

Ford pursed his lips. This sentence touched him a little.

He is an ambitious man. From the War of Independence to the present, America has produced dozens of great commanders, but only a few can really be remembered.

He has reached this position, of course, he is unwilling to become an unknown person.

So when Nico said this, his heart trembled and his brain thought quickly.

He quickly came to the conclusion that Nico was right!

To leave a name in history, he doesn't need to do anything outstanding, but he must be in a turbulent era and do something that is symbolic.

For example, Nicol, who ended the Vietnam War in a strong way, seized the opportunity at a critical moment and realized the visit to Hua, which in a sense changed the overall situation.

So, what would be the result if Nicol's proposal was realized during his term?

Thinking of this, Ford couldn't help but his heartbeat.
