35 Chapter 36 Upgrade of Base Authority

A month's time passed by like a white horse, fleeting.

This was the busiest month for Li Lan. From the time he decided to take the second step, he kept working hard for it.

Fifty mobilizers are made every day. The recruitment of such a scale lasted for a whole month, and it was always non-stop.

At the same time, fifty sets of basic infantry combat equipment are produced every day. Basically, every soldier who comes out will immediately get a set of basic infantry equipment.

An AK-47, a pistol, and one thousand two hundred rounds of ammunition, worth one hundred base funds.

In other words, for every soldier, Li Lan would spend two hundred base funds.

When a month later, when a total of 1,500 soldiers were produced, Li Lan paid a total of 300,000 base funds for this, which was one-third of the monthly revenue of the ore refinery.

Had it not been for the time required to recruit troops, I am afraid that he now has more than two thousand mobilized troops.

At this time, Li Lan had a total of 1,700 mobilized troops, which was the main defensive force of the base.

In order to further build his subordinates, Li Lan also spared no expense and produced a large number of rpg rocket launchers.

After the initial division, the 1,000-700 mobilized troops were automatically assigned to a class unit according to the order of recruitment. In other words, Li Lan now has 170 class combat units.

In order to minimize the lack of firepower due to the disadvantage of the number of people, Li Lan was very simple and assigned three rocket launchers to each class.In order to satisfy all the classes, he also paid 160,000 base funds for this.The original price was 153,000 rocket launchers, and the remaining seven thousand Li Lan all produced rocket launchers as reserve munitions.

At the same time, in order to facilitate command, these classes were organized into six battalions with 280 people in each battalion according to the three-three system. In addition to the squad leader who was automatically generated by the class, Li Lan referred some soldiers with higher initial ranks Different positions from platoon commander to battalion commander.Ahmed naturally became the commander of these six battalions.

Because this is only a preliminary organization, there are no direct troops, no communications department, and no maintenance department. The 280 mobilized troops in each battalion are purely combat units.There are no heavy firepower units or support units.

Of course, it is also because these people currently only fight in and around the base, and do not need the establishment of other relevant departments, and there are no so-called non-combatants. As long as they can carry guns and fight battles, they are soldiers.

Li Lan spent a full 460,000 base funds on recruitment and equipment.In other aspects, Li Lan also spent a lot.

During this period, he built three barracks and three six magnetic energy reactors and three tank factories. Of course, because of the low price, in this respect, the cost is not much, only 12,600 base funds.For Li Lan, who spent money like flowing water, this base fund of more than 10,000 yuan was really nothing more than that.

However, defensive buildings cost more. On the outermost wall of the base, Li Lan will place a sentry cannon or machine gun bunker every five hundred meters.Calculated according to the perimeter of the base, 56 defensive building units were placed on the 28-kilometer-long outer wall of the base.In addition to the original eight defensive weapons in the four directions of the base, the remaining forty-eight defensive weapons were built this month.

A full 240,000 base funds were spent on this.If it were not for worrying about the safety of the base, for fear that the mobilized troops would not be able to withstand the long line of defense, he would never spend such a huge amount of money on defense weapons.

Considering the soldiers owned by Bosasso's armed forces and the strength of the government army, Li Lan didn't feel sorry for the money spent at all.After all, only keeping the base safe is the most important thing.

And in order to allow soldiers to move quickly inside the base, they can reach any area inside the base in a short time. The ground of the entire base has been paved with concrete.

In today's base, there is no earthy ground in sight.In order to ensure that the construction period was completed on time, Li Lan also recruited a hundred engineers intermittently when recruiting troops.This is why after having six barracks, the number of mobilized soldiers remained at fifty per day after one month.

At the same time, in order to cope with the rapid mobility of the troops, Li Lan also produced a hundred trucks for this purpose.As a result, plus the price of one hundred engineers, Li Lan spent another 100,000 base funds in this area.

In one month, with 900,000 base funds, Li Lan paid 800,000 base funds for defense preparations alone.

The remaining 100,000 funds, in order to maximize resources, are all used to make rifle bullets, a full 20,000 boxes of bullets, or 4 million bullets.

Due to the large number of bullets, it could have been sold for four million US dollars, and finally sold to the owner of Bosasso International Hotel, Farah, at an average price of 0.8 US dollars per bullet.

With one hundred thousand base funds, three and two million dollars in exchange.In order to prevent Bosasso’s Armed Forces Minister Awell from having a knot in his heart, he collected the so-called tax in advance. During this period, through repeated transactions, Li Lan would send some U.S. dollars as remuneration, ranging from six to seven thousand to a few. Three to four thousand.

After Li Lan replaced all the US dollars in his hand with the food and fuel he needed, he stopped the bribery of Arwell.But at this time, there are not a few days before the month.

Excluding the nearly 400,000 U.S. dollars for gifts, the remaining 2.8 million U.S. dollars gave Li Lan enough food for three thousand people a year and more than two thousand barrels of fuel.

There were originally some armed ministers who doubted why Li Lan had bought so many things. Every time they left their doubts far behind under the money offensive. Under the powerful money offensive, the minister could no longer control so much.

In just one month, Li Lan had initial confidence and strength.

However, he was not satisfied with this. For the current base, what was most lacking was not food and soldiers, but the ability to withstand the consumption of ammunition under a high-intensity war.

Not to mention that every soldier is allocated 1,200 rounds of ammunition, but after a month of intensive training, the consumption of bullets is like flowing water. Each person has 1,200 rounds of ammunition. In the two-day target training, It's just ten days of consumption.

This month, the 1,700 mobilized troops have consumed Li Lan’s nearly 2 million rounds of ammunition, and this is still the number of ammunition consumed after the reduction of live ammunition in the later stage. If it is not restricted, this will be 1,700. A mobilized soldier will consume at least four million bullets in a month.

However, these two million bullets also caused Li Lan, who was almost out of ammunition and food, a headache.Although there are 1.8 million bullets (1200 bullets per person * 1,500 people when recruiting), the mobilized soldiers will face the dilemma of no bullets if they are not supplemented in time.

At this time, Li Lan was sitting on the console, watching that there were only three-digit base funds on the display, and the rate of consumption decreased a little every few seconds, causing a headache.

In the past month, the base's funds have not exceeded 10,000, and the amount of 75,000 in every six hours is basically gone after six hours, and then it is paid in, and it is almost consumed.As a result, seeing the three-digit number above makes me feel extremely depressed.

Last night, Ahmed reported the quantity of ammunition, and Li Lan felt the serious shortage of bullets.According to the reported ammunition quantity, on average, each mobilized soldier can only be allocated 50 bullets, and each rocket launcher can only use two artillery shells.

There will not be much impact in peacetime, but during the war, these statistics can be life-threatening.Li Lan, who had never paid attention to this issue before, realized the importance of logistics.

Therefore, Li Lan has now put aside other construction work and is preparing to start producing bullets and bazooka shells.However, the speed of fund recovery is completely inferior to the speed of construction of bullets and bazooka shells.

There is still a short while away from noon. As long as this period of time has passed, there will be 7,500 base funds.At that time, 300,000 bullets can be produced directly.At that time, each soldier will be allocated one hundred and fifty rounds of ammunition, the remaining temporary inventory.In this way, the number of bullets carried by each soldier has reached 200 rounds, which is considered as getting rid of the current dilemma.

At this time, there were still a few mobilized troops in the base that had not been recruited yet, and these mobilized troops were the last few of the 1,500 mobilized troops.As for other things, they have all been built now.

Li Lan, who was waiting, seemed to be outside suddenly, when the base assistant's voice suddenly sounded in the console, breaking the original tranquility.

"Congratulations to the commander. You successfully used 1.5 million base funds and met the base authority upgrade conditions. The authority upgrade task is open."
