The Australian army was not prepared for a night battle, and after a crushing defeat during the day, the 2nd Division did not even send troops to within 10 kilometers of the Red Guard defense area. Jiang Yunzhi was also happy to take this opportunity to give the 102nd Regiment, which was mainly composed of new recruits, a good rest, not to mention that the first task of this battle was to hold the position for two days.

Zhong Yi in the control room was also very annoyed, the available funds of the base had reached 4.7 million, and he was only 300,000 short of being able to successfully advance. However, in the daytime battle, the Red Guard soldiers were killed 11 in the enemy's shelling, the indigenous soldiers were killed more than 200 people, and about the same number were sent to the hospital, for the 102nd Regiment, which had a total of only more than 1,200 people, the number of casualties in the battle in one day was nearly 500. Despite the command and restraint of the Red Guard soldiers, it is a miracle that the natives were able to hold on without collapsing.

Hebar's cavalry battalion also suffered more than 70 casualties in the raid on the Australian artillery positions. Not only did he do a great favor on the battlefield, Hebar proved himself with his own actions, and Zhong Yi didn't seem to hate old Sandra's cunning so much.

The Second Division of the Royal Australian Army, this somewhat twisting number, has been greatly crossed by Zhong Yi. Just now, Comrade Commander rejected the suggestion of the whole country to return reinforcements, not only did he not need the armored regiment to return for reinforcements, but he even shouted, "Pin me to the Swan River, don't rush in, wait for my support." ”

On the other end of the radio intercom, the whole country Lin didn't come back for a long time, "Commander, is this a dizziness?" The armored regiment is here, and the indigenous regiment is enough to defend Kalgoorlie, what can I do to support me? It can't be the other way around, right? ”

Zhong Yi didn't faint, and he didn't say anything back. Not long after he put down the intercom, the available funds on the holographic screen increased rapidly, reaching four million million in an instant before stopping, Zhong Yi shook his head, "It's still not enough, it's almost enough to wait for this batch of mining trucks to come back, but unfortunately I can't find gold." ”

The capital of the base comes from mineral deposits, metals are mineral deposits, oil is also mineral deposits, and in the sub-base of Kalgoorlie, Zhong Yi cannot find gold-type precious mineral deposits that can quickly increase funds, but there is oil. Although the old fox Sandra betrayed Zhong Yi in disguise, he did help a lot in this regard. Prior to the launch of the Perth campaign, a large amount of oil was stored at the sub-base through the channels of the Smolgon family. Of course, it is not given away for nothing, it is exchanged for gold, and the gold scraped in the mine is traded, and Zhong Yi does not have any Australian dollars or British pounds. A small half of this batch of fuel has already been carried away with the baggage operations of the armored regiment, and a large part remains in the oil storage tanks of the sub-base. Just now, Zhong Yi ordered the oil storage tank to be connected to the refinery, and sure enough, the oil can also be converted into capital, and the conversion volume is not large, but fortunately, the difference in the task is not too large, and half of the oil stored is released, and now I am waiting for this batch of mining vehicles to come back.

"Bird, check out the instructions for drilling wells and refineries."

"Yes, sir."

Land Science and Technology Drilling Wells:

Logistics buildings, with a construction area of 100*100 and 10,000 funds for construction, can explore and exploit oil at a depth of 2,500 meters underground, and directly convert oil into usable funds or transfer it to oil refineries.

Offshore Oil Rigs:

Logistics buildings, with a construction area of 500*500 and a construction area of 100,000 yuan, can be used to explore and exploit oil at a depth of 5,000 meters below the sea surface, and directly convert the oil into usable funds or transfer it to the refinery.

Refinery:

Logistics buildings, with a construction area of 1000*1000, require 100,000 funds for construction, which can convert the extracted oil into various oils and other ancillary products.

Looking at the three explanations on the holographic screen, Zhong Yi couldn't help but chin his head, "Yes, it's very powerful, not only for onshore mining, but also for offshore oil drilling platforms." "In the previous life, China was inseparable from the seabed resources and the surrounding small countries in the East China Sea and the South China Sea. Because there is no ocean-going fleet, and because of all kinds of concerns, some small countries dare to jump out and bully us. The map on the holographic screen was switched to the map of the sea around Australia, Australia is surrounded by the sea on all sides, if it is established in Australia, such as the problems encountered by China in the previous life, there will definitely be no less, "Navy...... Aircraft carrier...... Armed overseas Chinese protector ......" a few intermittent words, which took Zhong Yi's thoughts far, far away.

"Sir, the available funds have reached five million, congratulations on the promotion to the rank of colonel." The voice of the female anchor brought a certain commander of Shenfei Jiutian back to reality, looking at the number of available funds above the holographic screen: five hundred and thirteen thousand two hundred, Zhong Yi smiled bitterly, "I think too much, I spend so much effort, just a colonel, what do you think about the navy......"

"Bird, the barracks have opened the Infinite Conscription PLA mode, giving priority to strengthening the third type of skills, and the tank factory giving priority to building infantry vehicles, huh...... Fifty cars. After giving the order, Zhong Yi quickly switched the control interface back to the building interface.

Building Name: Air Force Command

Construction funds: 100,000

Electricity requirement: 400

Build Range: 5000*5000

Construction time: 24 hours

Description: Congratulations Commander, you are about to have your second class, the Air Force. You can only build one air headquarters per base, and each air headquarters can only hold one flying regiment of fighters, and you have to build more airfields to build more fighters.

Well, it's not expensive, each empty finger department is only 100,000 funds, although it is the only building of the base, it will be solved by building a few more sub-bases. What about airports? There is no airport in the building interface. Switch to the logistic building interface, well, here.

Building Name: Military Airport

Construction funds: 50,000

Electricity requirement: 800

Build Radius: 3000*3000

Construction time: 24 hours

Note: Air Force aircraft produced at all bases can take off and land, and each airfield can only accommodate one flight regiment.

Seeing this, I finally understood that the Air Force command has the function of an aircraft factory, and the military airport is just a simple airfield. I don't know how the establishment of the Air Force is calculated, is it counted together with the Army, or is it a separate establishment? I asked the bird of paradise, and the thing came again, "I don't have the authority to answer." ”

I'm used to it, and I don't have the spirit to compete with the intelligent system, so I can only grope for it by myself. Click on the icon, select a large area next to the barracks, OK, and start building the Air Force Headquarters. By the way, the PLA Army-type soldiers in the barracks should also be activated after the PLA Army-type is being recruited in full force and the Air Force is opened, right?

Sure enough, on the character interface, a new icon appeared, but it was gray.

Chinese People's Liberation Army (Air Force)

Recruiting conditions: Zhonghua base barracks, air force headquarters

Funding: 10000

Call time: 10 minutes

Zhong Yi grinned, it was ten times more expensive, it was worth it! In the previous life, our country trained a pilot, and it was claimed that it was piled up with gold. The call-up time is also good, the same as in the army. Because of the expansion of the troops and the formation of two regiments of the National Guard, some barracks have been built, and the time for personnel recruitment has also been shortened to 10 minutes.

Before the construction of the Air Finger Department is completed, the Air Force icon cannot be activated, so continue to recruit the Army, and after dawn, get rid of this bullshit Royal Australian Army Second Division first.
