Chapter 36 Base Authority Escalation
A month's time is like a white horse, fleeting.
This was Li Lan's busiest month, and he had been working hard for it since he decided to take the second step.
Fifty mobilizations were created every day, and the recruitment of such a scale lasted for a whole month, and it was non-stop.
At the same time, 50 sets of basic infantry combat equipment are produced every day, and basically every soldier who comes out will immediately get a set of basic infantry equipment.
An AK-47, a pistol, and 1,200 rounds of ammunition, worth a hundred base funds.
That is to say, for each soldier, Li Lan will spend two hundred base funds.
When a month later, a full 1,500 soldiers were produced, Li Lan paid a full 300,000 base funds for this, which was one-third of the income of the ore refining plant for the entire month.
If it weren't for the fact that it took time to recruit soldiers, I am afraid that he would now have more than 2,000 mobilized soldiers.
At this time, Li Lan had a total of 1,700 mobilized soldiers, which was the main garrison of the base.
And in order to further build his subordinates, Li Lan also spared no expense and produced a large number of RPG bazookas.
After the most preliminary division, these 1,700 mobilized soldiers, according to the order of recruitment, every 10 people were automatically assigned to a class unit, that is to say, Li Lan now has 170 class combat units.
In order to minimize the lack of firepower due to the disadvantage in numbers, Li Lan was very simple, and each squad was assigned three bazookas. In order to meet all the classes, he also paid 160,000 base funds for this. The original price was 153,000 rocket launchers, and the remaining 7,000 Li Lan all produced rocket artillery as reserve ammunition.
At the same time, in order to facilitate command, these squads were organized into six battalions, each with 280 people, in accordance with the three-three system; in addition to the squad leaders who were automatically selected by the classes, Li Lan promoted some soldiers with higher initial ranks to different posts from platoon commanders to battalion commanders. Ahmed became the commander of the six battalions.
Because this is only a preliminary establishment, there are no direct troops, no communications department, and no baggage department, and the 280 mobilized soldiers in each battalion are purely combat units. There are also no heavy firepower units, or support units.
Of course, it is also due to the fact that at present, these people will only fight in and around the base, and there is no need for the establishment of other relevant departments, and there are no so-called non-combatants, as long as they can carry guns to fight, they are all soldiers.
In terms of recruiting and equipping soldiers, Li Lan spent a full 460,000 base funds. In other aspects, Li Lan also spent a lot.
During this period, he built three barracks and three six magnetic reactors and three tank factories, of course, because of the cheap price, in this regard, it was not much, only 12,600 base funds. For Li Lan, who spends money like water, the base funds of more than 10,000 yuan are really just.
However, the cost of defensive buildings is too much, and on the outermost wall of the base, Li Lan will place a sentry cannon or machine gun bunker every five hundred meters. According to the perimeter of the base, the 28-kilometer-long perimeter wall of the base has 56 defensive units. In addition to the eight defensive weapons originally owned in the four directions of the base, the remaining forty-eight defensive weapons were all built in the past month.
The entire 240,000 base funds were spent on this. If it weren't for the fear of the safety of the base, for fear that the mobilized soldiers would not be able to withstand the long defense line, he would not have spent such a huge amount of money on defensive weapons.
Considering the number of soldiers possessed by Bossaso's armed shili and the strength of the government army, Li Lan did not feel sorry for the money at all. After all, only keeping the safety of the base is the most important thing.
Moreover, in order to allow soldiers to quickly move around the base and reach any area of the base in a short period of time, the ground of the entire base has been paved with cement.
Today, there is no dirt in sight at the base. In order to ensure that the construction period was completed on time, Li Lan also recruited 100 engineers intermittently when recruiting troops. This is also the fact that after Weishenme had six barracks, the number of mobilized soldiers remained at fifty per day for a month.
At the same time, in order to cooperate with the rapid mobility of the troops, Li Lan also produced 100 trucks for this purpose. In this way, plus the price of a hundred engineers, Li Lan spent another 100,000 base funds in this regard.
In a month, 900,000 base funds, and in defense preparations alone, Li Lan paid 800,000 base funds.
The remaining 100,000 funds, in order to maximize resources, are all used to make rifle bullets, a full 20,000 boxes of bullets, that is, 4 million rounds of ammunition.
Due to the sheer number of bullets, what could have been sold for $4 million ended up being sold to Farah, the owner of the Bossaso International Hotel, for an average of $0.8 per bullet.
With 100,000 base funds, 3.2 million US dollars were exchanged. In order not to make Bosaso's armed forces minister Awei have a pimple in his heart, he came to collect the so-called taxes in advance, and during this period, through transactions again and again, Li Lan would ask people to send some US dollars as a reward, as much as 60,000 or 70,000 yuan, and as little as 30,000 or 40,000 yuan.
After Li Lan exchanged all the dollars in his hand for the food and fuel he needed, he stopped bribing Awei. But at this time, there are not a few days left before the month period.
In addition to the nearly 400,000 US dollars in gifts, the remaining 2.8 million US dollars were exchanged for enough food for Li Lan to feed 3,000 people for a year and more than 2,000 barrels of fuel.
Originally, there were still some armed ministers who suspected that Li Lan Weishenme had bought so many things, but every time they left their suspicions far behind under the money offensive, and under the powerful money offensive, this minister could no longer manage so much.
In just one month, Li Lan has the initial confidence and liliang.
However, he was not satisfied with this, and the most lacking thing for the current base was not food and soldiers, but the ability to withstand the consumption of ammunition in a high-intensity war.
Don't look at the fact that 1,200 rounds of ammunition were allocated to each soldier, but after a month of intensive training, the consumption of bullets was also like flowing water, and 1,200 rounds of ammunition per person was only consumed for ten days in the twice-daily target training.
In the past month, the 1,700 mobilized soldiers have consumed almost 2 million rounds of ammunition for Li Lan, and this is still the amount of ammunition consumed after the reduction of live ammunition firing in the later stage; if there is no limit, these 1,700 mobilized soldiers will have to use up at least 4 million rounds of ammunition in a month.
However, these two million rounds of ammunition also gave Li Lan, who was almost out of ammunition, a headache. Although there are already 1.8 million rounds of ammunition (1,200 rounds of ammunition per person * 1,500 people when recruiting), if they are not replenished in time, the mobilized soldiers will face the dilemma of running out of bullets.
At this time, Li Lan was sitting on the console, looking at the three-digit base funds on the monitor, and the speed consumption was reduced a little bit every few seconds, and he suddenly had a headache.
In the past month, the base's funds have not exceeded 10,000, and the income of 7,005 every six hours is basically gone after six hours, and then it is credited again, and it is almost consumed. As a result, when I saw the three-digit number above, I was extremely depressed.
Last night, Ahmed reported the amount of ammunition, and Li Lan felt that there was a serious shortage of ammunition. According to the reported amount of ammunition, each mobilized soldier could only be allocated 50 bullets on average, and each rocket launcher could only use two shells.
In peacetime, it won't have much of an impact, but in wartime, these numbers can be deadly. Li Lan, who had never paid attention to this problem before, knew the importance of logistics.
So, now Li Lan has put down other aspects of construction work and is ready to start producing bullets and bazooka shells. However, the recovery of funds is completely not at the same rate as the construction of bullets and bazooka shells.
Now there is still a short time before noon, and as long as this time passes, there will be 7,500 base funds coming in. When the time comes, it will be possible to directly produce 300,000 rounds of ammunition. At that time, each soldier will be allocated one hundred and fifty rounds of ammunition, and the remaining will be temporarily stocked. As a result, the number of bullets carried by each soldier reached 200 rounds, which can be regarded as getting out of the current predicament.
At this time, there were still a few mobilized soldiers in the base who had not yet been recruited, and these mobilized soldiers were a few of the 1,500 mobilized soldiers. As for the rest, it has now been all built.
Li Lan, who was waiting, seemed to be outside the imaginary object, and the voice of the base assistant suddenly sounded in the console, breaking the original tranquility.
"Congratulations Commander, for the successful use of 1.5 million base funds and the achievement of the upgrade conditions for base privileges. The privilege escalation task is enabled. ”
