Chapter 1077: Increasing Troops to Afghanistan
January 24.
The United States held a press conference, and the United States and its allies will increase troops in Afghanistan, so as to eliminate the Afghan guerrillas more quickly.
The scale of this increase is quite large, and tens of thousands of troops will be added to Afghanistan, so that the coalition forces in Afghanistan will reach 200,000 ground forces.
In this increase, the Japanese Ground Self-Defense Force will increase its troops by 5,000 again, and they will bring their own weapons and ammunition and pay for their own military expenses.
As soon as the news came out, the whole world was in an uproar.
Obviously, the Americans have been reporting victory after victory on the battlefield in Afghanistan, conquering cities one after another, and the front line has been constantly pushed forward. The coalition forces led by the US military are also constantly expanding the occupied areas. Why do they need to increase troops now?
200,000 ground troops, what a huge military force!
Afghanistan, is it worthy of it?
Previously, countless military experts predicted that the coalition forces led by the US military would control the main cities and transportation arteries in Afghanistan in less than a week, and would completely eliminate the guerrillas and occupy the entire Afghanistan in less than a month.
But in fact, it was beyond the expectations of all military experts.
The war in Afghanistan is not that easy to fight.
The Afghan guerrillas do not fight urban offensive and defensive battles or field battles with the coalition forces at all, but only fight guerrilla warfare with the coalition forces.
And the attitude of the polar bear is very subtle.
It is clear that the polar bear agrees with the coalition forces to fight against the Afghan guerrillas, but it does not open the air force base for the coalition air force to use, nor does it allow the coalition ground forces and supplies to be supplied through Central Asia.
The coalition forces' troop transportation routes and material supplies are either through Pakistani land to enter Afghanistan or by air.
Pakistan's transportation is not very perfect. After being transported from Gwadar Port to Islamabad, it has to be transported to Afghanistan by military transport trucks.
Entering Afghanistan, the transportation conditions are even worse.
The United States is forced to dispatch more military transport planes to transport weapons, ammunition and supplies for airdrops, and at the same time build air bases in Afghanistan.
In nearly four months, the US military has burned $150 billion in military expenses in the Afghan war.
And eating, drinking, defecating and urinating every day is a huge number. Even if the US Congress adds a special fund of $100 billion, it is probably not going to burn for long.
At this time, the Americans felt the powerlessness of the Soviet Union and had to learn from the Soviet Union. After occupying the city, they planned to build outposts at the mountain pass. By building outposts, they locked the guerrillas in the mountains, making it difficult for the guerrillas to get supplies and affecting the transportation lines.
At the same time, the Americans accelerated the establishment of the Afghan interim government and helped the Afghan interim government to establish government forces, so that the government forces could help the coalition forces defend the city, fight some auxiliary battles, and even fight guerrillas.
Otherwise, let alone 200,000 coalition ground forces, even 300,000 coalition ground forces would not be able to occupy the entire Afghanistan.
But at this time, the entire United States hated Afghanistan and the "jihad organization". As long as they could eliminate them, the Americans were willing to spend any money.
And when the United States announced that various countries would increase their troops in Afghanistan, Liu Tao was at the Shanghai Stock Exchange.
There are now two stock exchanges in the mainland, namely the Shanghai Stock Exchange and the Shenzhen Stock Exchange.
The Shanghai Stock Exchange is located in Shanghai, and the Shenzhen Stock Exchange is located in Pengcheng.
There are some differences between the two. First of all, the stocks are different. The stock codes of the Shanghai Stock Exchange start with 6, and all of them belong to the main board, while the stocks of the Shenzhen Stock Exchange are divided into three categories, namely, those starting with 000/001 are the main board, those starting with 002 are the small and medium-sized board, and those starting with 300 are the Growth Enterprise Market.
Secondly, the new listings are different. Generally speaking, one lot is allocated for every 10,000 yuan of market value of the Shanghai Stock Exchange, and one lot corresponds to 1,000 shares; two lots are allocated for every 10,000 yuan of market value of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, and one lot corresponds to 500 shares.
In addition, the account opening method is different. The Shanghai Stock Exchange can trade all the stocks listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange after opening, while the Growth Enterprise Market of the Shenzhen Stock Exchange needs to meet the conditions to open separately.
Finally, the transfer fee is different. The Shanghai Stock Exchange charges a transfer fee of 1 yuan, while the Shenzhen Stock Exchange does not.
At this time, the chairman of the China Securities Regulatory Commission and the leadership team of the Shanghai Stock Exchange appeared in the exchange hall together, accompanied by Liu Tao.
They were all very respectful.
At this time, the hall was decorated with a venue, which looked very festive, and there was a clock on the stage.
The listing ceremony of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange is to ring the gong, while the listing ceremony of the Shanghai Stock Exchange and the Shenzhen Stock Exchange is to ring the bell, which also means a new starting point and a good beginning.
Today is extraordinary for the whole of China, and even the whole world.
Huaxia Motorcycle Group is finally going to be listed!
As the largest motorcycle manufacturer in China and the world, Huaxia Motorcycle is finally going to be listed in the mainland.
In fact, there has been discussion in China about the listing of companies under Panshan Group, but the timing has not been very mature.
So far, companies under Panshan Group are not unlisted, but they are either listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange or listed in the United States. For example, the three companies originally listed in the United States have completed the delisting from the US stock market and are currently preparing to re-list.
As for the mainland, none of them are listed!
Like Huaxia Motorcycle Group, this is the world's largest motorcycle manufacturer, with a variety of motorcycle models, including the current police-specific motorcycles, state guest-specific motorcycles, etc., all of which are produced by Huaxia Motorcycle Group. Last year alone, Huaxia Motorcycle Group sold a total of 17.476 million motorcycles, and the total sales volume exceeded 10 million for seven consecutive years.
The famous three-wheeled motorcycles in various countries around the world were developed by Huaxia Motorcycle Group and are sold well at home and abroad.
Over the years, Huaxia Motorcycle Group has ten production bases, established a complete supporting factory system, has a complete global sales channel, and has the most complete logistics support in the world.
In addition to the group itself, Huaxia Motorcycle Group has also invested in more than 100 companies.
Last year, Huaxia Motorcycle Group had a total revenue of 62.914 billion yuan and a profit of 12.583 billion yuan.
The choice to list Huaxia Motorcycle Group is also well thought out.
Next, Huaxia Motorcycle Group will further expand its production base and open up a larger market, which requires more funds and financing from the market.
And this is also to deepen reforms, push Huaxia Motorcycle Group to the market, and compete in the market, forcing Huaxia Motorcycle Group to reform itself for market competition.
Not only Huaxia Motorcycle Group, but other companies will slowly go public step by step.
It can not only conduct market financing, but also strengthen the stock market, and absorb more private funds into the stock market instead of flowing into real estate.
At the same time, it can further promote the improvement of the financial market.
As the first company under Panshan Group to be listed in the mainland, the listing of Huaxia Motorcycle Group has attracted worldwide attention, not only in China, but also in the whole world.
Panshan Group is really too large and has a large number of high-quality assets. Many people are eager for Panshan Group to go public so that they can get a share of it.
