Chapter 71: The Value of a Commander
The last 3,400 gold, eight trained soldiers and ten mobilized soldiers.
Looking at the holographic screen again, a big zero egg in the lower right corner is so dazzling.
It is difficult to make money, but it is like flowing water.
Wang Tu shook his head secretly, came to the "Meritorious Exchange Mall", and first exchanged 1200 merit points for 10 mines.
Not conventional anti-infantry mines, weapons are often used to maim the enemy, wounded, demoralize and increase the burden on the enemy.
And blowing up a leg doesn't mean much to zombies.
What he exchanged for was a more powerful incendiary mine called "Burst Fire".
After being touched, it can eject more than one meter high from the ground, and then burst open, splashing high-density burning liquid in all directions, and it will be self-combustible when exposed to air.
The effective killing radius is 5 meters, which will not be extinguished for a long time and will not be extinguished when exposed to water, which is the best weapon to restrain the zombie army.
This kind of thing, the king is still more optimistic.
Even if you don't have to fight on the defensive.
It's also a good idea to go to some places in the city with a high zombie density and drop a few to earn gold bonds.
Then, find the information and communication equipment in the [Security Bar], and exchange it for 5 "Wind Thunder" individual walkie-talkies at the price of 1500 merit points.
As long as it is not too far away from the base, within a range of 15 kilometers, it can be used normally.
"Seeing" and "hearing" can play a vital role in any combat mission.
Whether or not an order can be given to the army in time is a matter of victory in a battle.
Not only that, strategizing and remote command, for the commander, it is an extreme enjoyment of controlling the whole field.
The exchange is basically finished, and the one who can't afford to change can only watch.
In the end, Wang Tu used 300 merit points to get a large-capacity "farmer" brand multi-functional clean water purifier.
When exiting the store, a few lines of small print pop up on the holographic screen.
"Dear Red Alert Commander, the various commodities you redeem are all developed and represented by the 21st Bureau of the Space-Time Research Institute."
If you find any quality problems within 24 hours, you can apply for a return, but no refund will be granted. ”
"Thank you for your patronage, please give a five-star praise in time, and I wish you a happy life."
After reading it, Wang Tu only felt speechless.
This business is justified and well-founded, and you don't have a temper yet.
……
Walking out of the construction plant, it was almost noon.
I didn't do anything this morning.
Well, I'm not idle...... Just busy spending money.
The conscripts are still resting in front of the barracks.
They have no joy in life, they sit with each other in their arms, they don't talk or talk, they are lifeless.
In addition to the newly trained 10 mobilized soldiers and 8 GIs, two new rugged faces were added.
Dressed in light green camouflage uniforms and wearing black boots, he is of ordinary stature and belongs to a relatively sturdy body type.
They all carried a thick barrel on their backs with a marching belt around their waists with four shells on it.
"Sir."
Seeing the king's disciple coming, they quickly stood up and saluted the commander.
After taking a closer look at the heavy soldiers, the king was very interested in the equipment they had configured, and he really wanted to go down the mountain now to bombard the zombies and test the lethality.
"Tell me about your weapons."
When the king approached, he said with great interest.
"Yes, sir."
One of the hoplites kicked his legs out of the ranks, saluted, and then unloaded the ammunition pouch, bracket, and barrel to assemble on the spot.
"Report sir, I carry with me an A886 portable smoothbore mortar with a caliber of 81mm."
"The angle of fire is 45°-85°, the weight is 41kg, and the maximum range is ......"
When Wang Tu heard this, he stretched out his hand and waved it lightly.
"I don't need to talk about that, skip it."
He is only interested in power, as for the rest, it is what the soldiers who equip it need to master.
In real combat, it is enough for the commander to let the soldiers bomb wherever they are.
"Yes, sir."
The Heavy GI skips the data and goes straight to the point.
"It is mainly equipped with anti-personnel and explosive bombs for annihilating and suppressing the enemy's living forces."
"Special artillery shells such as smoke grenades and flares can be deployed at the same time."
Hearing this, Wang Tu squatted down and flipped through carefully.
The blaster is quite heavy in the hand, and is about the size of a melon.
"I think you have four bullets, each of them?"
"Report sir, all I have at my disposal is anti-personnel explosive shells."
"And how do you get special shells?"
Before the heavily armored soldier could speak, the voice of the base sounded first.
"Dear Commander, only basic ammunition will be issued after training for heavy soldiers."
"Due to financial constraints, if you want to get more ammunition supplies, you will need to spend extra money to buy them in the barracks."
Wang Tu stopped his movements and narrowed his eyes.
"Will that refresh every three days?"
"I'm sorry, except for ordinary units such as conscripts and large soldiers, you will need to purchase and pay for the ammunition and maintenance costs of any other troops, vehicles and tanks separately."
The base said prosaically.
Wang Tu nodded, and at the same time, his heart was a lot heavier.
But the base is also right and understandable.
How is it possible to spend thousands of bounties in exchange for soldiers, and you can use weapons and ammunition indefinitely.
The resources consumed by the war are too high for anyone with deep pockets to afford.
Looks like you'll have to plan well in the future.
However, the mood will be empty.
Just like when I first worked, I got a salary of four or five thousand a month, but I spent most of it on food, clothing, housing, rent, and water and electricity bills.
It looks like he's busy, running around in suits and leather shoes, but his pockets are cleaner than his face all year round.
One gram of gold is equal to ten points of gold at the base.
If you do a rough calculation, the price of the manufacture of chariots and weapons is actually very cheap.
However, in the long run, ammunition replenishment, plus maintenance, repairs and other scattered costs, is a bottomless pit.
Earn money, I need to earn more money.
Stimulated by the pressure, Wang Tu's expression was full of determination and eagerness.
The heavily armed soldier was still crouching on the ground, waiting for the commander's next instructions.
"Put it away, you stand by as you are." The king commanded.
He scratched his chin, and something else came to his mind.
At present, the number of soldiers under his command has reached sixty-one.
Except for large-scale battles, it is basically unnecessary to bring them with them in peacetime.
In order to ensure the smooth rise of the Red Guard Legion, considering the overall situation, Wang Tu thought that he had to consciously reduce going out in person.
The commander, as the name suggests, is the presence of the commanding army, the hub...... It's the brain and the heart.
The hand can kill enemies with a gun, but the hand needs to get instructions from the brain first.
One less soldier can train another, and if he dies, the story ends.
Wang Tu's thoughts are very thorough, and it is still the same sentence - Ci is not in charge of the army.
In addition, being selected as the commander by the Red Alert is too important for himself.
Maybe I'll ...... in the future Save the world.
