Chapter 685

Compared with the battle damage of the knights, the loss of the order of Poseidon is much lighter. Seventeen members of Trident were killed in the battle, 15 of them in the missile fire, and the rest in Essien's counterattack. More than 200 ordinary soldiers were killed and 300 wounded in the battle. For the Poseidon regiment, they were only slightly injured. But when I saw another set of numbers, zero eyelid jumped heavily.

First, there are 50 missiles, each of which costs 500 gold coins, making 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, the two attacks alone cost nearly 40000 gold coins, not counting other ammunition consumption.

In the past, the wars with zero participation were mostly small team operations. Later, he attacked the northwest Tundra and participated as a soldier. Counting war losses is not his task at all, so there is no concept. Now 40000 gold coins have been destroyed in a battle of 3000 people. God knows how much will be spent in a war of 10000 people or even more than 100000 people.

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

Then there is the harvest.

The strategic reserve of the fortress is sufficient. First of all, there are a lot of food, purified water and synthetic food reserves, which are enough for the two legions and the whole slave camp in the fortress to spend the winter. It can be seen that the papal hall invests a lot of money in Kanon fortress every year. No wonder mamillo says that the two legions stationed in the fortress are unwilling to leave. Such excellent conditions are not what other knights can have. According to mamillo, the place where his legion is stationed is very dangerous and the subsidy is still low.

With this food, the sea god regiment's supply on land is not a problem for the time being, and it can even add more than three or five thousand people.

Then there was ammunition.

There are 100000 ordinary rifle bullets and 30000 special bullets, including armor piercing bullets, sniper bullets and incendiary bullets. There are a total of 200 groups, including 1000 fragment grenades, 500 infantry missiles, heavy artillery shells and revolver gun magazine. As for firearms, there are 500 dragon gun machine guns, 50 anti-aircraft machine guns, 10 heavy guns and 10 revolver machine guns for the Knights. As a result, there are plenty of ammunition and firearms.

Needless to say, ammunition is basically available to Shanghai shentuan. The Dragon gun machine gun is also a new era weapon. It has two modes of continuous fire and sniper, and uses standard bullets. When you need to snipe, you can switch to No. 2 magazine to fight with sniper bombs. The power of the Dragon gun is not comparable to those ordinary rifles used by the Poseidon regiment. If soldiers change into this kind of machine gun, their combat effectiveness can be improved.

Of course, there are obviously not enough dragon guns in the warehouse. However, this is not a big problem. During the battlefield inventory, a batch of dragon guns and ammunition of the order were recovered. Some of them have been damaged, and the remaining inventory is enough to equip the existing soldiers of the order.

As for antiaircraft machine guns and heavy guns, they are extra gains. These heavy weapons have strong firepower. If Trident had not raided the fortress gate last night and destroyed these weapons. If it's 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 artillery, let alone ordinary soldiers.

After they are equipped, they can replace the damaged ones. The city wall was rebuilt ahead of time, so the damage degree of the city wall is basically hopeless, and 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 antiaircraft machine gun, it can be arranged in other commanding heights of the fortress to provide strong fire support when necessary.

Most importantly, they are much more flexible to move.

The only ones that can't be used are the special revolver cannons of paladin mecha, which are more ferocious and huge than the cannons used by brown before. They are not weapons that can be used by human. If they can't be used, it doesn't mean they have no value. Zero thought ISTA might be interested in acquiring them. Well, it's also an income.

In the warehouse also found a number of special ammunition, which is used by Essien's round table knights. This batch of ammunition is not going to be sold. They will naturally be used on the captured Knights of the round table.

The final harvest is crude oil. Hundreds of tons of crude oil are piled up in a whole crude oil warehouse. They are packed into more than 50 oil barrels and orderly discharged in the warehouse. After seeing this report, I can't help but be glad that the war last night didn't affect the crude oil warehouse. Otherwise, the whole fortress would have to 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 large sum of money. In terms of crude oil alone, you can earn nothing. If other supplies are included, there will be at least one million gold coins in this battle. But the biggest wealth is not these, but the three oil platforms under the control of the fortress. The three platforms produce nearly 100 tons of crude oil every month, so if we control the fortress, we don't have to do anything, and we get 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 done by oneself, and there is a more intuitive concept of wealth.After reading the report, zero stands in front of a plasma panel, 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 Fort canon, and then followed the bloody road to the papal hall. On this 8000 kilometer long highway, we have to pass through five surface cities controlled by the papal hall, as well as hundreds of small and medium-sized towns.

From the distribution of these cities, we can see what kind of price the papal hall paid when it came all the way. In the foundation of every heavy city on the earth's surface, there are probably thousands of corpses. This road almost runs through the whole continent, and every inch of the land is stained with blood. No wonder the road will be named blood stained road.

"Go to inform the commander and ask them to come here for a meeting." Zero to the soldier outside.

A moment later, all the core members of zero and the three heads of Poseidon group came in. Looking at their faces with excited expression, it seems that last night's World War I, these guys are still excited. Only Franklin's face remained the same, and the bewildered vice captain was much more relaxed than the others.

"Sit down, everyone." Zero light way, here is the command room, usually only Essien and thunder two people activities. There are very few chairs, but now there are enough chairs in the command room for everyone in the room to get one.

Of course, Franklin didn't have a chair. Even Essien's newly built chair was not enough for the giant to tuck in half of his ass, and Franklin could only sit on the ground with his knees crossed. Zero toward him to show an apologetic look, and then looked at the other humanity: "everyone, how do you feel now?"

"It's good, but it's not good. Boss, I'll leave some hard opponents after the trouble. It's no use killing ordinary soldiers. " Man Shan laughs and says that if people don't know him, they may be confused by the simple and honest smile on Man Shan's face. Who knows that he killed people last night but ran over them all the way. Under his giant rolling stone, I don't know how many Knights' bodies are there.

Next, each of them expressed some of their feelings. Compared with the members who had been following zero for a long time, Cinderella and the three of them were obviously much more emotional. After all, this is their first real war. It's inevitable that they will feel excited.

When they finished, zero reached for a sign and said, "I can see that everyone is very happy. But don't be too happy. If we only slapped the Pope hall at roaring Bay last time, then the battle of Canon is a direct blow to them. If you slap your face, you will not be able to face it. But if you punch it directly, it is not as simple as face. I believe this blow should hurt them, so the papal chamber will fight back soon. "

"It's better. I wish they would all fight back, and then we'll beat those guys back." Man Shan hit his fist and said excitedly.

"No, it's not that easy. You have to be prepared. If you don't fight in the papal hall this time, it will be a pattern of death battle. " A bucket of cold water was poured down to prevent their heads from getting too hot to underestimate the counter attack of the papal hall.

Zero went to the window, pointed to the bottom of the fortress and said, "take a good look, this place can't be called a fortress. If the papal chamber calls now, do you think you can beat them in such a place? "

"We can rebuild the broken walls." Hindrella road.

"Yes, but it takes time, and time is exactly where we have a headache." Zero said with a smile.

Maple then said: "head, how do you want to do it straight!"

These old people who have been with zero for a long time are very clear about zero's style. He must have worked out the Countermeasures before he called a meeting. With a smile, zero went back to the plasma panel and said, "naturally, we can't just give up Kanon fortress. Instead, we have to rebuild it. It will be our important stronghold in this continent. In our hands, we want it not to fall again! "

"This is the determination we should have. If there is no stronghold, we will lose the space to advance and retreat. In that case, you can't push down the huge papal hall. Then again, determination alone is not enough. We still have to act. " Zero reaches out his finger, points at Fort canon, and then goes forward to cut into the bloody road, and continues to go up to the papal hall.

They moved their eyes with his fingers. At first, they were confused and didn't understand what zero meant. But with his fingers all the way through the bloodstained Road, and straight to the papal hall, everyone's eyes became hot. There seems to be a fire burning in my heart. With the movement of zero fingertip, the fire is burning more and more vigorously!

"I think you've all realized that since you set foot on this land. This road is not easy to follow. Every step in the direction of the papal chamber means blood and sacrifice. " Zero seriously looked at everyone below, pointed his finger and said: "this will be a bloody road. I don't know how many people will lie on the road forever when we get to the end. I only know that every step forward on this road will be a huge blow to the papal chamber. And when we get to the end... "Zero force on the New Roman city place a stroke: "Papal hall will no longer exist!"

"They fought back from New Rome, now we fight back from Fort Canon!"

There was no one to speak, but the sound of breathing began. The zero plan can be said to be wild or stupid. Because he gave up the relatively safe way of using guerrilla forces to devour the papal hall, then shrinking and finally eating the New Roman city. But the most radical and dangerous means. But it is undeniable that this is also a blood boiling strategy.

It's exciting just to think about it.

In particular, Man Shan, a desperado, whose crazy strategy of "zero" is most suitable for people like him.

"Boss, just give the order. Let's clean up the guys and go on the road now!" Although he knew that it was impossible, Man Shan said that he was addicted.

Unexpectedly, zero nodded and said, "I have this intention. Man Shan, you take two hundred soldiers and go out with me in the afternoon."

This down the mountain man surprised, said: "so soon to fight?"

"It's just a little fuss." Zero light smile way, looked at the map on the plasma board. On the map, starting from Canon, cutting into the bloody road and walking about 100 kilometers, there are two small towns. Zero reached out and circled the two towns with her fingers.

Kanon, the fortress, was not self-sufficient. Its slave camp served more for the oil well platform, the wood mine of Emerald Forest, and the Yungang iron mine at the foot of the eternal mountains. As for drinking water and synthetic food, they naturally have to be imported from other cities, and there are two small towns less than 100 kilometers away from the bloody road, which are most likely the supply points of the fortress.

If they are also included in 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 set up some sentries properly. Zero doesn't want to wait for the papal hall to hit the old nest to find the enemy's trace, so he asked Manshan to arrange the manpower. There will certainly be troops stationed in the small town, but I don't care about zero. The only worry is that the people in the town will run out, and it will not work without equipment and manpower.

The next morning, zero hair to play efficient office efficiency. He issued orders one by one. Even if he wanted to fight the Moslem Imperial Hall in the wildest way, he was not so arrogant that he thought he could do such a big thing with his strength. If the direction is determined, then the details must be carefully considered, and then put into action, in order to successfully step to the end.

In order to win this war, it is not enough to have soldiers alone. We also need a base that can provide logistics. This base is no doubt canon. Under Canon's control, Mu Kuang iron mine and oil well platform can produce a large amount of resources for zero every month. These resources can be exchanged for needed 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 workers, first of all the slaves who ran away last night. Zero believed that they were still hidden in the Emerald Forest, so she asked hindrella to arrange for some people to go to the forest to look for these slaves. Zero's offer was very attractive. All those who want to come back can get rid of the status of slaves. They will be workers in the fortress. In addition to providing them with accommodation and food, zero will also settle their wages.

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

But these slaves alone were not enough. They could only maintain the normal work of the fortress. After looking at some information in the fortress, zero knows that the mineral resources of Mukuang and Yuntie are actually very rich, but they are not as valuable as crude oil. Half of the fortress's slave camp served oil wells, and the rest was assigned to the construction sites of Mukuang and Yunshan iron mines.

Obviously, the fortress made a special evaluation on the wood mine and iron mine. From this information, it is not difficult to see that the 4000 slaves could not reach the average daily production level of these two industries. Essien doesn't like them because the value of crude oil alone is equal to that of the other two mining industries combined. But for zero, no amount of money will be enough.

The more wealth accumulated, the less time the war will take. War has always been built up with money. Zero decision is to make use of all the wasted resources. If we want to do so, we need to increase the number of workers and food accordingly.

The slaves recruited from Emerald Forest were the first group of workers, and the second group of workers could go to the outer islands to recruit. This work is carried out together with recruiting new soldiers. There will be casualties in the war, and soldiers are also a kind of consumables. At present, the soldiers of guanghaishen regiment are not enough to get through the whole bloody road, so the recruitment of new soldiers is imperative.

Having seen the hardship of the people living on the outer islands of the western continent, for the city of Rome, these people living on the outer islands are nothing to do with them, and naturally there will be no corresponding supplies and assistance. The recruitment of workers and recruits can be carried out at the same time, and then they can be classified according to the quality of the personnel and their career orientation.Next, we have to call in the destiny, Billy and kya will be indispensable important personnel. They are active not in the battlefield, but in the base. Zero needs Billy and his technical team to check all the tools, including the 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 to ensure the survival rate of soldiers to a greater extent.

There's one more thing to give to kya, and that's the body of thunder. The army commander who died in the war did not have half an evolution point left to zero. He believed that there should be a major secret to dig on this corpse.

So a morning down, zero's brain almost all the time in high-speed operation. After all the orders were issued, he was relieved. Looking at the stack of information and reports on the desk, he suddenly missed the days when he was a mercenary in the wilderness.

Although the days were hard, they were relatively simple.
