Chapter 689

Compared with the battle damage of the knights, the loss of the Poseidon is much lighter. Among the 17 members killed in the Trident war, 15 died in the missile bombing, and the rest died in Essien's counterattack before his death. Ordinary soldiers killed more than 200 people and injured 300 people. For the Poseidon regiment, they were only slightly injured. But when I saw another set of numbers, zero eyelids jumped heavily.

The first is 50 missiles, each of which costs 500 gold coins, a total of 25000 gold coins. Then there are the 15 electromagnetic bombs, which are more expensive than missiles. One is 800 gold coins, which adds up to 12000. In other words, these two attacks alone cost nearly 40000 gold coins, not counting other ammunition consumption.

In the past, zero participation wars were mostly small team operations. Later, he took part in the attack on the northwest tundra as a soldier. Counting war damage is not his task at all, so there is no concept. At present, 40000 gold coins have been destroyed in just a battle of 3000 people. God knows how much the war of 10000 people, or even more than 100000, will cost.

"War is really a money burning machine," he sighed.

Then comes the harvest.

The strategic reserve of the fortress is sufficient. First, there are many reserve units for food, purified water and synthetic food, which are enough for the two legions in the fortress and the whole slave camp to spend this winter. It can be seen that the papal hall invests a lot of money in Canon fortress every year. No wonder mamillo said that the two legions stationed in the fortress are unwilling to leave. Such excellent conditions can not be owned by other knights. As mamillo said, the place where his regiment stationed was very dangerous and the subsidy was low.

With this food, the sea god group's supply on land will be no problem for the time being, and even more than three or five thousand people can be added.

Then ammunition.

There are 100000 ordinary rifle bullets, and 30000 special bullets, including armor piercing bullets, sniper bullets and incendiary bombs. There are 1000 fragment grenades, 500 infantry missiles, 200 heavy artillery shells and rotating wheel machine gun magazines. As for firearms, there are 500 dragon gun machine guns, 50 anti-aircraft machine guns, 10 heavy guns and 10 rotary machine guns for machine armour. In sum, there are a lot of ammunition and firearms in reserve.

Needless to say, ammunition is basically needed by the Shanghai shentuan. The Dragon gun machine gun is also a new era gun. It has two modes: continuous shooting and sniping, and uses standard bullets. When you need to snipe, switch magazine 2 to fight with sniper ammunition. The power of the Dragon gun is not comparable to those ordinary rifles used by the Poseidon regiment. Soldiers can get extra improvement in combat effectiveness by changing into this machine gun.

Of course, the Dragon guns in the warehouse are obviously not enough. However, this is not a big problem. During the battlefield inventory, a batch of dragon guns and ammunition of the knight regiment were recovered, some of which have been damaged, and the remaining inventory is enough to equip the existing soldiers of the Poseidon regiment.

As for anti-aircraft machine guns and heavy artillery, it is an additional gain. These heavy weapons have strong firepower. If the Trident hadn't raided the fortress gate last night, it destroyed these weapons. If it is a frontal attack, we don't know how many people will be lost in the face of these weapons. Even Franklin didn't want to face the power of anti-aircraft machine guns and heavy guns, let alone ordinary soldiers.

When they are equipped, they can replace the group whose fortress has been damaged. The city wall was rebuilt in advance, and the damage degree of the city wall was basically hopeless, leaving only one way to rebuild. It is estimated that it will not be used in a short time, especially the five heavy guns. As for the anti-aircraft machine gun, it can be arranged at other commanding heights of the fortress and provide strong fire support when necessary.

Most importantly, they are much more flexible to move.

The only thing that can't be used at all is the special runner machine gun for Paladin machine armor. It's even ferocious and huge than the machine gun used by brown before. It's not a weapon that can be used by manpower at all. If they can't be used, it doesn't mean they are worthless. Zero thought ISTA might be interested in acquiring them. Then, it is also an income.

We also found a batch of special ammunition in the warehouse, which is the special ammunition used by Essien's round table knights. This batch of ammunition is not going to be sold. Naturally, they have to be used on the captured round table knights.

The final harvest is crude oil. Hundreds of tons of crude oil are stacked in a whole crude oil warehouse. They are packed into more than 50 oil barrels and neatly arranged in the warehouse. Seeing this report, zero couldn't help but rejoice that the war last night didn't spread to the crude oil warehouse. Otherwise, the whole fortress would be blown up, and hundreds of tons of crude oil would be worth 500000 gold coins at the price of the western continent.

This is a big sum. You can earn nothing just from crude oil. If other supplies are included, at least one million gold coins will be received after the battle. However, the greatest wealth is not these, but the three oil well platforms under the control of the fortress. The three platforms produce nearly 100 tons of crude oil every month, so they control the fortress, do nothing, and receive 500000 gold coins every month.

I didn't know much about money before. That's because Beyonce took care of it for him. Now everything is pro zero. Finally, there is a more intuitive concept of wealth.

After reading the report, zero stands in front of a plasma plate, on which is a complete map of the western continent. This map is much more detailed than the one in Mr. X's hand. Zero eyes fell on Kanon fortress, and then followed the blood stained road to the Pope's hall. On this 8000 kilometer highway, we have to pass through five heavy surface cities controlled by the papal hall and more than 100 small and medium-sized towns.

From the distribution of these cities, we can also see what price the papal hall paid all the way. In the foundation of every heavy city, I'm afraid thousands of bodies are built. This road runs through almost the whole continent, and every inch of land is stained with blood. No wonder the road will be named blood stained road.

"Go and inform the regiment commander and Su them to come here for a meeting." the soldier outside the zero pair door said.

A moment later, all the core members and the three heads of Poseidon came in. Looking at the excited expression on their faces, it seems that these guys were still excited last night's World War I. Only Franklin looked as usual, and the confused vice captain was much more calm than the others.

"Sit down, everyone." zero said faintly. This is the command room. Usually only Essien and thunder move. There are very few chairs, but now there are enough chairs in the command room so that everyone in the room can get one.

Of course, Franklin doesn't have a chair. Even Essien's new big chair was not enough for the giant to plug half his ass. Franklin had to sit cross legged on the ground. Zero looked at him with an apologetic look, and then looked at other humanitarians: "everyone, how do you feel now?"

"Very good, but it's just not fun to kill. Boss, after trouble, leave me some tough opponents. Killing ordinary soldiers is not enough." Manshan smiled. If you don't know him, you may be confused by Manshan's simple and honest smile. Who knows that he ran over all the way last night. Under his giant rolling stone, I don't know how many knights are dead.

Next, everyone expressed some of their feelings. Compared with the members who had followed zero early, Cinderella and the three of them were obviously much more excited. After all, this is the first real war they participated in. Some excitement is inevitable.

When they finished, zero reached out and said: "I can see that everyone is very happy. But don't be happy too early. If we only slapped the Pope's hall last time we roared at the Bay, we punched them directly in the canon battle. It's natural to slap them, but it's not so simple to punch them directly. I believe this punch should hurt them, so teach them The Imperial Hall will fight back soon. "

"That's better. I'd like them all to fight back, and then we'll beat those guys back." Man Shan hit his fist and said excitedly.

"No, it's not that simple. You should be prepared. If the papal hall doesn't fight this time, it must be a pattern of death war." a bucket of cold water was poured down to prevent them from getting hot and belittling the counter attack of the papal hall.

Zero went to the window, pointed under the fortress and said, "take a good look, this can't be called a fortress. If the Pope's hall calls now, do you think you are sure to defeat them in this place?"

"We can rebuild the broken walls," hindrella said.

"Yes, but it takes time, and time is exactly where we have a headache." zero smiled.

Feng then said, "head, just tell me what you want to do!"

These old people who have been with zero for a long time are well aware of zero's style. He must have thought out countermeasures before convening a meeting. Zero smiled, walked back to the plasma board and said: "We can't just give up Kanon fortress. Instead, we have to rebuild it. It will be our important stronghold on this continent. In our hands, we want it not to fall!"

"This is our due determination. If we don't have a stronghold, we will lose the space to advance and retreat. In that case, we can't push down the giant papal hall at all. Then again, determination alone can't do. We have to act." zero stretched out his finger, pointed on cannon fortress, rowed forward to cut into the blood stained Road, and continued to reach up to the papal hall.

Everyone moved their eyes with his fingers. At first, everyone was confused and didn't understand what zero meant. But when his fingers crossed the blood stained road and pointed directly at the Pope's hall, everyone's eyes became hot. It seemed that there was a fire burning in their heart. With the movement of the zero finger tip, the fire became more and more prosperous!

"I think you should have realized since you set foot on this land. This road is not easy to go. Every step towards the Pope's Hall means blood and sacrifice." zero looked at everyone below carefully and pointed hard: "This will be a bloody road. I don't know how many people will lie on the road forever when we reach the end. I only know that every step forward on this road must be a great blow to the Pope's hall. And when we reach the end..."

Zero force scratched on the place of the New Roman city: "the papal hall will no longer exist!"

"When they fought from New Rome, now we fight back from cannon fortress!"

No one spoke, but the sound of breathing was quiet and urgent. The zero plan can be said to be wild or stupid. Because he gave up the safer practice of swallowing the papal hall with guerrillas, shrinking and even finally eating the New Roman city. Instead, he adopted the most radical and dangerous means. But it is undeniable that it also makes people's blood boil Strategy.

It's exciting to fight back from the front, step over the enemy's body and pound the nest.

In particular, Manshan, an outlaw, zero, an almost crazy strategy, is most appetizing to people like him.

"Boss, just give the order. Let's pack up the guys and go on the road now!" although he knew it was impossible, Manshan still said hehe, having had a mouth addiction.

Unexpectedly, zero nodded and said, "that's what I want. Manshan, take two hundred soldiers and go out with me in the afternoon."

The mountain was stunned and said, "will there be another war so soon?"

"It's just a little fuss." zero smiled faintly and looked at the map on the plasma board. On the map, start from Canon, cut into the blood stained Road, and then walk about 100 kilometers. There are two small towns. Zero reached out and gently circled the two towns with his fingers.

The fortress canon is not self-sufficient. Its slave camp serves more for oil well platforms, wood mines of Emerald Forest and cloud iron mines at the foot of eternal mountains. As for drinking clean water and synthetic food, it is natural to introduce them from other cities, and there are two small towns less than 100 kilometers away from the blood stained Road, which are likely to be the supply points of the fortress.

If you circle them into the sphere of influence, then daily life is not a problem. Moreover, now that the gate and outer wall of the fortress have been demolished, it is necessary to establish some outposts appropriately. Zero doesn't want to wait until the Pope's office hits the nest to find the trace of the enemy, so he asks Manshan to arrange manpower. There will certainly be troops stationed in the town. I don't care about it. The only worry is that the people in the town run away. In that way, it can't operate without equipment and manpower.

The next morning, zero hair wields efficient office efficiency. Orders were issued in his hands. Even if he had to hit the Muslim emperor hall in the most wild way, he was not arrogant enough to think that such a great event could be accomplished with this strength. If the direction is set, then the details must be carefully considered and put into action in order to successfully step to the end.

To win this war, soldiers alone are not enough. Zero also needs a base that can provide logistics. This base is undoubtedly Kanon. The wood mine, iron ore and oil well platform under Kanon's control can produce a large amount of resources for zero every month. These resources can be exchanged for required materials or gold coins through ISTA, which is the capital needed to maintain the war.

Now there is no shortage of soldiers under zero. What is lacking is workers. So his first order was to recruit, first of all the slaves who ran away last night. Zero believed they were still hiding in the Emerald Forest, so she asked hindrella to arrange some people to look for these slaves in the forest. The conditions offered by zero were very attractive. All those who are willing to come back can get rid of the status of slaves. They will be workers in the fortress. Zero will not only provide them with accommodation and food, but also settle their wages.

Not to mention wages, food and water alone were enough to attract these slaves back. Without these things, let alone winter, they may not be able to survive this autumn.

But these slaves were not enough. They could only maintain the normal work of the fortress. After reading some materials in the fortress, zero knows that the mineral deposits of Mukuang and Yuntie are actually very rich, but their value is not as big as that of crude oil. Half of the slave camps in the fortress are for oil wells, and the rest are allocated to the construction sites of wood mine and cloud iron mine.

The fortress obviously made a special assessment of wood mine and iron mine. From this data, it is not difficult to see that 4000 slaves still can not reach the daily average production level of these two industries. Essien doesn't like them because the value of crude oil alone is the sum of the other two mining industries. But for zero, no matter how much money he will not feel enough.

The more wealth accumulated, the less time the war will take. Wars are always piled up with money. Zero decision makes use of all wasted resources. To do so, it is necessary to increase workers and food accordingly.

The slaves recruited from Emerald Forest are the first batch of workers, and the second batch of workers can be recruited on the outer islands. This work is carried out together with the recruitment of new soldiers. There will be casualties in the war, and soldiers are also consumables. The soldiers of Guanghai shentuan are definitely not enough to open up the whole blood stained Road, so the recruitment of new soldiers is also imperative.

Zero has seen the difficult life of the residents of the outer islands on the western continent. For the city of Rome, these people living in the outer islands are none of their business, and naturally there will be no corresponding supply and assistance. These people will be zero key targets. The recruitment of workers and recruits can be held at the same time, and then classified according to the quality and career orientation of personnel.

Next, we have to summon the call of fate. Billy and Kia will be indispensable and important personnel. Their active place is not the battlefield, but in the base. Zero needs Billy and his technical team to check all the operation tools, including the oil well, and see if they can be modified to improve the efficiency of the operation. As for Jiya, she may have to integrate with some female soldiers into a field medical team, so as to ensure the survival rate of soldiers to a greater extent.

There is one more thing to give to Jiya, that is the body of thunder. The dead army commander did not leave half of the evolution point to zero. He believed that there should be major secrets to be excavated on this body.

So one morning, zero's brain is running at high speed almost all the time. He was relieved when all the orders were issued. Looking at a pile of information and reports on the table, he suddenly missed the days when he was a wilderness mercenary.

At that time, although the days were hard, they were relatively simple.
