In the mainland, the army has always been regarded as the most trustworthy people, they not only defend the homeland and the country, but also put the needs of the ordinary people in the first place, and are well-deserved silent soldiers.
Throughout history, we can find that the prosperity and stability of a country are inseparable from the role of the army, and only by winning a war can it have a higher right to speak.
After the situation is stabilized, the army still has a high value of existence, but the country is also facing a problem at these times, that is, the army needs a large amount of military spending every year.
The daily food and drink of the soldiers, as well as the training and exercises in peacetime, as well as the development of science and technology, all require a large amount of money, and the daily expenses of the state to maintain the soldiers every year, as well as the purchase of weapons and equipment, as well as the maintenance of various military machinery are very considerable.
Once a war breaks out, the cost of the army may increase exponentially, but in the international arena, the Vietnamese army is a special existence, it has become the only profitable army in the world, and it does not have to spend the country's money to earn money back to the country, what is going on?
1. The history of the evolution of the mainland army
In the past and now, after becoming the highest authority of the state, the biggest problem is how to measure the country's income and expenditure.
In the eyes of many people, the army is like a gold-swallowing beast, and when there is no war, the state's finances are needed to support it, and when there is a war, they rush to the front line, but the amount of military materials consumed will also increase, which means that more money needs to be spent.
Only the civilization on the mainland has experienced a lot of wars at the beginning, and in the process of continuous merger and division of countries, this has led to the current civilization and prosperity.
Throughout history, you will find that many of the country's institutional reforms are actually related to the development of the army, such as the previous state formulated various taxes and conscription in order to increase fiscal revenue, and then solve the problem of military supply.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the tuntian system was implemented, which allowed the army to have a certain amount of income at that time, and when there was no war, the army had to participate in various farming activities in addition to daily training.
This will not lead to the idleness of personnel, and it will also fully mobilize the enthusiasm of the soldiers and soldiers, and the food they produce has become the main food and grass of the army.
Since then, all dynasties have had a similar system, and the fundamental reason for its existence is to solve the problem of military funding, which can also be seen that the army actually had a certain commercial value at that time.
In the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court stipulated that in addition to cultivating the land and reclaiming wasteland, the army could also do business, and farming solved the problem of food and clothing, and business could obtain a large amount of military funds.
This relieved the pressure on the imperial court to a certain extent, and at that time even handed over the right to operate salt and iron to the army, which were very profitable in ancient times.
With the management of the army, it can be guaranteed that there will not be too much commotion in these two industries, and part of the money earned will go to the imperial court, and the other part will become military salaries, which can be described as killing multiple birds with one stone.
If we want to say that the most fierce war in the modern history of the mainland is definitely the War of Resistance Against Japan, during that period the soldiers will also carry out various production activities, and will also conduct business appropriately.
Using the identity of a businessman to disguise himself can bring convenience to the transmission of intelligence, and can also earn living expenses and provide more economic help for the army.
When the situation stabilized, it was discovered that some armies had amassed a lot of money because of the large number of commercial projects in their hands, so the state explicitly forbade the army from doing business.
This has stabilized the situation in the armed forces and enabled everyone to devote all their energy and time to military training, which has greatly increased the mainland's military strength.
2. The uniqueness of the Vietnamese army
When it comes to what kind of benefits the military can bring to the country, the first thing that many people think of must be that when there is an invasion of foreign enemies, they can do their best to fight it.
The soldiers train intensively every day, and they are proficient in the use of various combat weapons, which is their greatest strength.
These people have no opportunity to make money on weekdays, and the daily expenses need to be borne by the state, but there is such an army in the world, which does not spend the country's money, but will make money for the country, and is the only army in the world that is making a profit, and it is the Vietnamese army.
Now most countries have banned the military from doing business, but the Vietnamese army is an army that is allowed to do business by the state, which means that it is one with the country's economic lifeline.
Vietnam is a small country and its economic system is not perfect, so he has been constantly improving his capabilities for many years in order to increase his international influence.
The Vietnamese army had a particularly wide range of businesses, including communications, infrastructure, and even banking, and it was for this reason that it was seen as a purely profitable army.
In fact, the fact that he will follow such a line of development has a great deal to do with the mainland; in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the mainland's armed forces were allowed to do business, and this could greatly reduce military expenditures.
But as the influence of the military in the business world grew, we gradually realized the dangers of this business model, so the state only banned the military from doing business in the 90s of the last century.
We all know that in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were many wars between the mainland and Vietnam, which also led to mutual understanding between the two countries in the management of the armed forces.
In the Vietnam War, Vietnam won a great victory, and after winning the United States, his self-confidence exploded, believing that he could win even the United States, and that he would definitely become an international power.
But he seems to have ignored the military and economic help provided to him by the mainland and the Soviet Union in this war, and then he began to create friction on the Sino-Indian border.
In order to protect territorial integrity and to teach the Vietnamese army a lesson, the Sino-Vietnamese war was fought extremely fiercely, and without the help of other countries, Vietnam gradually realized its true strength.
We all know that war is extremely costly, and this war has destroyed a lot of industrial equipment in Vietnam, resulting in a slow economic development.
The army also needed a large amount of military funds, and in order not to let the army drag down the entire country's economy, they began to learn from the military development model of the mainland at that time and agreed to the army to do business.
At that time, the idea of the state was very simple, that is, to use this method to solve the problem of insufficient funds, and his method proved to be very effective, greatly reducing the economic pressure on the country.
But when he tried to stop it, he found that the army was getting bigger and bigger, and it had penetrated into all areas, and it was impossible to take back these rights.
In 2007, Vietnam's Communist Party issued a bill prohibiting the military from doing business, but now the Vietnamese army is not only the representative of the country's military power, but also the emergence of several major chaebols, so such a plan does not work for them at all.
By 2017, there were more than 96 large enterprises controlled by the Vietnamese military, and the net profit reached 9.6 billion US dollars a year, which accounted for 1/10 of Vietnam's GDP.
Now Vietnam's military has gradually entered the stage of chaebolization, and they control a number of key areas, not only for themselves but also for the country.
Wanting to ban the army's business behavior is an extremely dangerous and powerless thing for the Vietnamese government, so the Vietnamese army is still doing business on a large scale.
3. The impact of the Vietnamese army's business
The military is a place with a high degree of discipline and a high degree of organization, and it is inevitable that it will be affected by immediate interests after doing business.
The Vietnamese army is now doing more and more business, and there are many signs of the separation of the army and the government, which has led to the fact that the Vietnamese government is now unable to command the army.
This is just like the ancient times on the mainland, when the power and supporters in the hands of the battle-hardened generals increased, showing a trend of high merit and shocking the master, which had a great impact on the future development of the government.
The army has weapons in its hands and the protection of the state behind it, and if there is a situation of malicious competition in the course of doing business, ordinary businessmen are simply no match for them, which may lead to chaos in Vietnam's economic market or a situation of complete monopoly by the army.
However, the army has a strong sense of superiority and superiority, and each person's responsibilities are limited, which also leads to a clear division of labor, so it is very efficient when doing things, which can make the economic market more orderly and develop at a higher speed.
Although it is an era of peace, there are many contradictions and conflicts, and in the event of war, the country may fall into a situation of artillery fire.
If the army is engaged in business, it will not only be able to stabilize the social order, but also the economic order, and no matter how the regime changes, the strength of the army will not be affected.
But as we said above, once the army is in business, it can be self-sufficient, which means that it no longer needs to rely absolutely on the state, and it is easy to separate the army from the state organs.
The regime and the armed forces are originally a whole, and they are also the foundation of the country's stability and strength, and if there is a contradiction between the two, the country's turmoil will certainly be inevitable.
Most people are powerless in the face of money, and the military is doing more and more business, and there may be a bad situation inside, which will only further elevate the power of the state, and then the construction of the entire country will be affected.
summary
The military is a special existence for the country, and its advantages and disadvantages in doing business are very obvious, and it can only be said that this has a lot to do with a country's political philosophy.
Doing business in the army may change the temperament and fighting consciousness of the soldiers, and the businessmen are not profitable and cannot afford to be early, and we have all heard the truth that there is no treachery and no business, and doing business for a long time may corrode the will of the soldiers.
Generally speaking, the disadvantages of the military doing business outweigh the advantages, and the current Vietnamese army seems to be the economic pillar of the entire country, but if it is not careful, the Vietnamese government may be depleted of both men and money, and all countries must learn from this and be vigilant.
