Men's Kapishi

"You have too many technical equipment procurement items, which are not only expensive but also need to train a large number of soldiers to master these equipments. Your Excellency, this will seriously affect your combat deployment, and the wide variety of ammunition will also affect your logistics. system with catastrophic consequences."

"The equipment system we produce is very dependent on logistics support. It is difficult for you to purchase too much equipment at one time to adjust the logistics system in a short period of time. I suggest reducing the purchase of technical equipment. After all, it is difficult to quickly form combat capabilities after buying them back. .”

"Heavy equipment is a must. A head-to-head confrontation with Ursus is definitely not the kind of petty fight of the forest guard team." General Mannanim retorted. Just thinking about the mobile fortresses of Ursus makes my head hurt. .

Although those expensive vehicles are unlikely to be deployed directly at the forefront, providing direct long-range support behind the battle line puts great pressure on the Sami army when defending.

All the individual weaponry you buy won't mean much if you can't suppress these mobile fortresses that are mobile fire support platforms.

"But general, your budget can hardly meet your request."

Chapter 85 Chapter 29 Negotiation

The Sami military's request is very embarrassing. The budget is less than 14 billion, and 5 people need to be equipped with heavy firepower.

But the key point is that the cross-travelers are not optimistic about Sami. Even if supporting weapons and equipment regardless of cost, it is difficult to make up for Sami’s disadvantage in absolute strength. It is not an exaggeration to say that investing in Sami now is like throwing money into the water. Like Lisa, you can hear it too.

What's more, it takes time to master and deploy technical equipment. Without good training, these heavy equipment may kill your own people faster than the enemy.As a former member of the Kapisi Marine Corps, the drone has a deep feeling in this regard.

As far as the target drone is concerned, I still tend to strengthen the first-line squad firepower and company-level support firepower. Expensive heavy artillery and land battleships are really too cost-effective for the current Sami.

"Look at our front-line support weapons. Although they are all straight-line support weapons, they are only slightly inferior in power. If there are more of them, the combat efficiency is no worse than the heavy artillery at the rear."

"You still underestimate Ursas. Even if the arms sales plan you provide has enough firepower on the front line but without heavy fire support, the defense line won't last long at all."

"Does Your Excellency still want to rely on the urgently purchased weapons from us to win the war? Even if we allow you to borrow part of the purchase price and sell these technical equipment to you, General, can you gather enough soldiers to use them?"

The reception room fell into silence. Mannanim knew very well what was going to happen to Sami. Even if he could get all the equipment on the purchase list, it was still unknown whether he could form a fighting force before Ursus was ready to attack.

He admitted that he had a gamble, but it was the only way to save Sammy.

"I agree with your sales plan. The frontline troops will be purchased according to your plan. The number of purchases will be reduced from 5 to 2, but the frontline support firepower will be doubled."

Since you can't squeeze out more money to equip more troops, then improve the quality, at least give a head-on blow to Ursus on the only way to invade.

"It will cost about [-] million Longmen coins, excluding ammunition. Equipped with three base ammunition, it will cost about [-] to [-] million Longmen coins." The target drone quickly calculated in its mind, and then quoted the price.

"We can still come up with another [-] million budget." General Mannanim sat up straight and said seriously.

"If there is another [-] million budget, in addition to large vehicles such as battle cruisers, you can also buy a lot of heavy support equipment. General, would you like to know about the legion-level support firepower we are selling? Including long-range rocket launchers and Large-caliber artillery."

Mannanim shook his head, and said with a little sarcasm: "According to your quotation and recommended configuration, a corps-level fire support must deploy at least a battalion of twelve launch vehicles. The unit price of the launch vehicle is 100 million, and one rocket 270 million, how many rounds is [-] million enough?"

"Your Excellency, you have to trust our products. A large-caliber long-range rocket equipped with a cluster warhead can kill more than a football field. It is absolutely worth the money."

"I really think it's expensive. We can give you some discounts on the ammunition. What do you think if the [-] million is not only the launch vehicle but also the two-round salvo ammunition? And the launch vehicle is equipped with a very intelligent auxiliary strike system..."

"When I didn't have a budget, I desperately persuaded me not to buy technical equipment. Now that I have a budget, do you start selling again?"

"Your Excellency, Karak Heavy Industries is all about considering customers and recommending you the most suitable products according to your budget. You don't need to be angry about this. Our plan is definitely..."

Raising his hand to interrupt the target drone, Mannanim stood up: "I am not going to buy any products with the budget of 6949 million Longmen coins. I admit that what you just said is reasonable. Technical equipment does require a lot of personnel training. And what we lack is time." (Monthly "Feiqun 36135" [-])$

"The [-] million, I am going to use your company's personnel to train and command a troop as a teaching regiment. The troop you are responsible for will be deployed on the front line. As for whether you carry other equipment, I will not ask. "

"Your Excellency, please don't get me wrong. We are just an industrial group that sells weapons and equipment, not mercenaries. We can provide training services for your military personnel when Remm Billiton takes over the goods."

"This is my bottom line. I must see a training team sent by Karak Heavy Industries on the battlefield."

"Your weapons have never been used on the battlefield. As for whether the tactics and weapons you provide are as effective as you said, please verify them on the battlefield yourself."

"Your Excellency General, it is really difficult for others. I reiterate that we, Karak Heavy Industries, are only suppliers of weapons and equipment, and will not actually intervene in conflicts between any forces."

"Even if Ursus asks us for a purchase now, we will agree immediately, Your Excellency General Mannanim, this is only a commercial cooperation, your request..." said the drone in a difficult way.

"Whether to buy or not is my business, and whether to send a training group is your business. I hope Karak Heavy Industries can give me an answer tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

After speaking, Mannanim left the reception room straight away, as neat and tidy as his attire.

The target machine was stunned for a while before realizing that it was time for him to go. He packed up the materials on the coffee table and walked out with his bag.

Yuan Shan and the forest guard were waiting outside the door. When they saw the drone coming out, the forest guard asked worriedly, "Didn't the deal go through?"

Sighing, the target drone didn't know how to answer the forest guard's question. It didn't have the right to make decisions about sending personnel to directly participate in the battle. It had to report to the rotating board of directors immediately and let them make the judgment.

However, this is the first time this kind of thing is encountered, and it may be decided by a general assembly vote.

The forest guards can take the initiative to talk about themselves, and the drone is quite happy: "It can't be said that there is no agreement at all, it can only be said that the resistance is relatively large."

"Ah, that's good, I just saw that the general's face is not very good." The forest guard patted his chest, very young, "I was worried that it would be difficult to buy ammunition after the negotiation collapsed. Since the negotiation can be completed, you might as well put the The ammunition of our forest guard team will be fully covered in the future, and I helped to bring such a large order!"

So you are worried that you will not be able to buy supplies in the future!Give me back my emotion!asshole!

Yuan Shan saw that the target drone was choked by the forest guard, and came up to rescue him: "It's getting late, I'll take you back."

After saying goodbye to the forest guards, the target plane took the bag and Yuan Shan back to the car, this time Yuan Shan let the target plane sit in the co-pilot.

"What is this?" As soon as the target drone sat down, Yuan Shan handed over a folder.

"My resume. In the next period of time, I will be stationed in Karak Heavy Industries' office in RIM Billiton as a liaison officer."

"Didn't you just hand in your resume before we reached an agreement?" The drone didn't pick it up, "Is this a beauty trick?"

"Pfft," Yuan Shan laughed out loud when he saw the drone move his butt vigilantly, "What are you doing hiding so far away? I won't do anything to you."

"I have to avoid suspicion, and mistakes of principle cannot be made."

"Beauty trap, are you worthy too?" Yuan Shan ignited the engine, "Did you forget that I am a fortune teller? I think we can make a deal."

After finishing speaking, Yuan Shan turned his head towards the target machine and blinked playfully, wink☆~

In an instant, the chest of the target drone jumped stronger than that of a tractor. Who can stand the mother-fetal single for more than 20 years.This, is this what love feels like?

If Yuan Shan is really willing to use the beauty trick, Target Machine thinks it will be successful in all likelihood.

Chapter 86 Chapter 30 The Hard-Won Breakfast

Holding the dinner plate and finding an empty seat in the canteen, Liusu began to enjoy the special breakfast on the Kapisi.

A fried egg, a vegetable and beef sandwich, and a bowl of millet porridge may seem simple, but it is already a huge breakthrough compared with the logistics department of Karak Heavy Industries, which could only provide instant food before.

At least those weird-looking bugs and protein powder made by unknown things have been removed from the daily menu and stored in the backup warehouse.

Since the opening of the REM Billiton office, Karak Heavy Industries has finally had a positive cash flow. Although the largest income is the purchase of the Ranger team, coupled with other scattered sales income, It is enough to improve the living conditions of the hundreds of people in the Red Bank base.

The first is a breakthrough in food. As a native of a big foodie country, I have an incredible persistence in how to eat well.

More than half a month ago, a group of mysterious figures suddenly appeared on the agricultural product trading market spontaneously formed outside the city of Rem Billiton, driving huge transport vehicles and waving a lot of Longmen coins. was bought.

The supply of some in short supply of non-staple food has even experienced shortages and price increases. In addition to supplying the daily needs of the city, Rim Billiton’s hydroponic farms and breeding farms also have to manage the land for cheap laborers living in slums outside the city.

In addition to the basic food sold in the city, many vendors also choose to purchase food and agricultural by-products from nearby towns and villages to sell near the mobile city, gradually forming a large market with a complete variety.

It’s just that the production capacity of the Terra world is there. Except for the modern farms in the mobile city, the production in other places is really limited. In addition, the soil is easily polluted by source stones, and the agricultural and sideline products that can be provided are not sufficient.

Moreover, high-quality agricultural products are often purchased first by the mobile city. It is good for the poor living in the slums to eat enough, and occasionally they can eat a good meal to reward themselves. Where the purchasing power is, the non-staple food sold to the slums outside the city is less.

In short, the relationship between supply and demand formed over the years barely maintained a balance, until the cross-travelers set their sights on the vegetable market outside the city of Ram Billiton.

Buying food in large quantities in the city is not only expensive, but also attracts unnecessary attention, and it is inefficient to purchase food in scattered towns and villages. The market outside the city of Rim Billiton has become the best choice.

Considering the distance between the Red Bank base and the current REM Billiton, it would take thousands of kilometers to go back and forth. The purchasing team directly drove the base walker out, and then took the chickens that were not many in the market. The duck, fish, meat and eggs are all gone.

This has made it hard for people living outside the city, and it has made many poor families worse. In March, not knowing the taste of meat has become a true portrayal of most people.

The logistics department of Karak Heavy Industries not only sweeps the goods in the vegetable market, but many restaurants and restaurants in surrounding towns are also included in the scope of procurement after inspection. The logistics department will regularly purchase some cooked food to enrich the menu of the cafeteria.

Of course, these dishes need to be purchased at an extra cost, and they are not included in the "food package". The Xuji spicy rabbit head and cold rabbit recommended by Muji and Haizi set off a wave of enthusiasm in the Red Coast base.

Not only did people rush to buy it, but even Vaifan employees quickly accepted this delicacy.It’s just that Boss Xu’s power is weak, and the rabbit heads he made are enough for the foodies on the Kapisi, which makes it hard to find a rabbit in the canteens of the Red Bank Base.

In order to let Boss Xu fry the rabbit with peace of mind, the logistics department even specially sent a vacuum packaging machine for Boss Xu to use.

With the abundance of ingredients, there are not enough master chefs in the cafeteria. There are very few people who can cook in the time-traveling crowd, and none of them can serve as the chef in the cafeteria.

Ms. Shuang Xiaojiang, the former head of the Military Supplies Department, is willing to carry this banner, but her cooking skills have remained at the point where a hot box lunch in a microwave oven can cause a fire in the past few months after crossing. People who are worried about food poisoning The big guy persuaded him to go back.

The canteens at the Red Shore Base became the second positions open to local employees in Terra. At that time, most of the captured Vaifans were not serious combatants, and there were many people who were in charge of doing odd jobs and cooking.

After the logistics department released the recruitment advertisement, many people immediately signed up. The original logistics staff in the canteen became the canteen manager in charge of management and supervision.

After training with neither standardized effect nor limited effect, Chef Vajvan took over.However, the food in the canteen has been greatly improved. The diners in the canteen on the Kapisi are mainly travelers, and the chefs in charge are carefully selected.

This is the reason why the special food canteen provides dishes that meet the tastes of all people across the country.It’s not that the food in other cafeterias is worse, it’s just that the taste is difficult to unify, and some of the food of Vaifan is really difficult to accept.

With the source of funds, the status and prestige of the logistics department in the Red Coast base has risen sharply, and the allowances and post salaries previously issued are actually of little use

The items that traveled over from Blue Star were pitifully small. Although there were various types, everyone had a tacit understanding that they didn't use the credits in their hands to exchange them, and kept them carefully in the warehouse.

There are even fewer other things to buy.

Recently, the internal supermarket under the logistics department has officially opened, with a complete range of products and reasonable prices. Not only has the shopping enthusiasm of the cross-travelers been aroused, even the local employees have also begun to learn from their bosses to shop and spend their accumulated salaries.

Finally, Karak Heavy Industries recovered a lot of wages sent out.

In terms of production, the mine was blown up into an open-pit mine by Caiye with the lives of herself and Cao, and the collection efficiency increased dramatically. Even though the efficiency is much lower than directly collecting high-grade natural ore and recycling wreckage, the process of crossing the crowd There is no shortage of time.

Consisting of more than 20 Samuta resource collection vehicles, the collection team works in three shifts in the mining area, allowing the production line on the Kapisi to run at full speed.

More support sand cruisers were built. In addition to being converted into mobile platforms for the living and rest of Terra employees, two original support ships were specially built to repair and maintain vehicles and equipment, as well as support mine teams. collection work.

The current shortcoming that restricts the production capacity of the Red Coast Base is the lack of personnel.The current income is more than sufficient to maintain the current number of local employees, but it is still insufficient to recruit more Terrans, especially scientific researchers and senior combatants.

"Tusu, are you here? Is the personal terminal not turned on? I have been looking for you for a long time!" The captain of the ship, Cord, patted Tassel on the shoulder from behind, "The target drone has contacted the Sami military, and the other party indeed has a large-scale Purchasing intention, but the conditions are more stringent.”

Chapter 87 Chapter 31 We have the final say

After a hasty breakfast, Tassel followed Cord to the conference room. In addition to the members of the rotating board of directors, the head of the production department, Jidan and Jelivor of the Marine Corps were all summoned.

After Tassel arrived, the meeting quickly started, and the procurement list and conditions proposed by the Sami military were distributed to everyone present.

As for the procurement items adjusted by the target drone according to the plan issued by the rotating board of directors, it was naturally approved by all members. These items are low in cost and have sufficient production capacity, so there is no problem in handing them over within a month.

Just considering the price strategy in the Terran arms market in the future, there is no way to promote half-sell and half-free like the forest guards purchase weapons in small quantities.

One billion Longmen coins are used to purchase [-] infantry weapons and individual equipment. Even if the number of platoon-level support weapons is doubled, it is just adding more weapons such as mortars, recoilless guns, and heavy rocket launchers. Earn less money.

On average, a soldier can get a budget of [-] Longmen coins. According to the equipment plan proposed by Karak Heavy Industries, it is very generous in terms of budget.

No one raised objections to the sales proposal.

But there was huge disagreement over the additional conditions Mananim proposed.

Similar issues have been discussed before when considering whether to intervene in the Sa-Ukraine War, and no satisfactory answer has been reached for everyone.

Directly intervening in the war between two sovereign countries, the cross-travelers of course understand their own strength, and they are already able to gather a hundred and ten military personnel with all their efforts. Even if they rely on the ability of resurrection to die, it must be limited. die.

Arms sales are arms sales, and there is still a difference from riding directly on the head of Ursus to shit and pee.As long as they don't directly participate in the combat operations against Ursus, the traversers have too many benefits that can be exchanged with Ursus, so they won't turn their faces directly.

And directly participating in combat operations is undoubtedly jumping up and hitting Ursus in the face.Mannanim strongly demanded to see the team sent by Karak Heavy Industries on the battlefield. If he agreed, it would be impossible to avoid direct armed conflict with the Ursus army.

Mannanim's tough attitude has also caused dissatisfaction among many people.

The rotating board of directors had to adjourn midway to rectify the order of the venue to avoid physical conflicts between people with different opinions.But observing or participating in a war between countries is of great significance to Karak Heavy Industries, especially the standard equipment of the warring party is the weapons and equipment designed and produced by Karak Heavy Industries.

The combat performance of these weapons will directly determine the future weapon design ideas of Karak Heavy Industries. It is indeed a big gamble for equipment that has not been tested in actual combat to go directly to the battlefield, as Mannanim said.

It is the Ursus army, or the main military force on Terra, who is betting across the crowd, and is not ready for the age of firepower.

Even though they are also equipped with long-range origin stone cannons or powerful explosive projectiles, they still use melee combat as the main combat method on the frontal battlefield, so there must be a blind spot for the Terrans in the use of long-range weapons.

As for information warfare and the C3I command system, those are things that only exist in dreams.Don't look at the Internet mobile phones and personal computers in the mobile city, all of which rely on the construction of information infrastructure.

And because of natural disasters, the people of Terra are not very concerned about the construction of infrastructure outside the mobile city. Most of the electronic equipment will lose the signal if they leave the mobile city within a hundred kilometers. information desert.

Of course, the UH band radio can still be used, but in the absence of communication relays, it can only maintain a small range. The short-wave radio capable of long-distance communication is severely interfered in Terra, and has no practical value at all.Long-distance communication relies heavily on wired transmission.

All of the above are speculations of the time traveler.

Even with the scattered information collected by the target drone and Haizi in Rim Billiton, as well as the technical verification carried out by the scientific research department, it is still impossible to understand Terra's technical level in a short time.

The technical level of the Terra world is as obvious as that of Karak. There are gaps in the technological level of the Terra world. Relying on digging graves for scientific research is definitely not a joke in the Terra world. dug out.

Maybe even the core of the mobile city was dug out of the grave, otherwise the Ursas would not be unable to figure out what the sarcophagus in the core city of Chernobog is for.

It is not uncommon for grave digging scientific research to dig up anything. What if the Terrans have quantum communication technology?Be bolder, isn't it impossible for the Terrans to dig out the Positron City Breaker Cannon?Digging out a Star Destroyer is not an unacceptable thing.

Therefore, observing the war between Ursas and Sami at a close distance is of great significance to the people who travel through. Military technology can often reflect the highest level of technology in this country. too far.

After all, a huge empire with the highest military power may be able to mix water in the overall power balance by relying on its number and territory, but the continuous military victories and Terra's recognized military strength can reflect from the side that the overall technical level of Ursus is absolutely not It will be far behind other countries.

Observing at close range or directly participating in this war can allow the people who travel through to understand the gap in technical level and the difference in technical thinking most intuitively.
