Wu Sihuai, a "legislator" of the Kuomintang military department, pointed out that the budget included the construction of the Tuojiang-class ships, but the ship was originally supported by the official budget, but it was later treated with the special budget, and the budget doubled dramatically, so that the cost of the 685-ton Tuojiang warship was almost the same as that of the 10,000-ton Yushan warship, and this part of the defense department must explain to the outside world.
Wu Sihuai pointed out that since the special budget review, it has been found that the Tuojiang-class ships, which were originally listed as official budgets, were suddenly changed to special budget items after the special budget was proposed, and the budget also soared by 106 percent, more than 1 times. The problem is that the Tuojiang-class ship is 685 tons, and the increased cost has been the same as that of the 10,000-ton Yushan ship, and the difference between the two is more than 9,000 tons, so why has the budget increased so sharply?
In this regard, Chiang Chung-kuo, "chief of staff" of the Taiwan Navy, recently explained that compared with the cost of the first batch of Tajiang warships, the cost of carrying Taiwan has increased from 1.45 billion yuan (NT$, the same below) to 1.52 billion yuan; the amount of war money has increased by 180 million yuan; the amount of ammunition has increased by 0.5 bases, with 670 million yuan, and the overall amount has increased by about 30 million yuan, a total increase of about 900 million yuan.
As for the cost of the second batch and the first batch of ships, the amount of the platform has increased from 1.52 billion yuan to 1.82 billion yuan, an increase of about 290 million yuan, mainly due to the increase in raw materials, the increase of 210 million yuan in the war system, the increase of 130 million yuan in the missile section, and the increase in the entire rear section to 560 million yuan, mainly the construction of radar training stations.
DPP "legislator" Cai Yi said that the high budget is the result of the rise in raw materials in recent years, but the defense department has promised that if there is a relevant balance, it will be paid back to the public treasury in full. Wu Sihuai stressed: In the past, military procurement against the United States was arbitrary, but now defense is independently handed over to its own production, and it should not be allowed to be slaughtered by manufacturers, and the defense department must explain the unreasonableness more completely, otherwise there will be a suspicion of political leadership in building the army.
