C3943 [That is not how the accounts are calculated!]

The Windstorm Battle Team needed the support of six hundred thousand Silver for a single operation. How expensive was that? In fact, it was not much. Cai Bixia had only gotten the information later on from the military. In order to coordinate with the operation, the total value of the resources used by the military and ISI was over 900,000 silver!

Nine hundred thousand taels of silver. These were divided into two types of investments, one could see the weapons and equipment, and the airship s' poisonous smoke bomb were all easy to deal with!

But what about the cost of ISI rebelling for this operation? Many aconite were exposed today, and once these long-term investments were made, they would lose their ability to hide!

Both plain and dark required money, and the more advanced the equipment, the more expensive it was!

Why did the Poison Smoke Generator cost twenty-five million Silver per set? That was because the chemical industry had not reached a proper scale yet, even the Europe did not have many specialized chemical factories!

The chemical industry was still in its infancy, so much so that countries did not pay much attention to this new industry and did not even recognize its huge potential!

Including the UK, all the other strong warriors had only taken apart the chemical industry to see, for example, the sulfur factory, the soda factory, various printing and dyeing plants, and so on!

These were all the common companies in the early days of the chemical industry, but they were all dependent on other industries. No one had singled them out to form a concept of a chemical industry, let alone systematic collaboration!

It would still take 50 to 60 years for the chemical industry to rise again. From the middle of nineteenth century until the beginning of the 20th century, it would be the most prosperous!

Synthetic ammonia, petrochemical, polymer chemical... Typically, the appearance of this new type of material was used as a marker, and this epoch was the shining stage of the chemical industry!

Xiao Letian did not have a chemical factory with him that could produce them on a large scale, so he could only carefully process the various materials from the smoke bomb in the laboratory.

This kind of efficiency was extremely lacking, which was why it was so expensive. Other than the soldier king's special forces which could use it, the other units really couldn't afford to equip it!

Including the white phosphorous bullet, why couldn't it be assembled? Besides the reason of danger, the weapons produced in this laboratory were too cheap and the price was too expensive!

Xiao Letian had very clear rules regarding the use of this new type of biological weapon. It was used to scare the Enemy into making a panic attack, not to rely on them to kill countless of people!

I'll use it occasionally to tell Enemy that we have this kind of domineering thing, I'm telling you to be careful not to provoke me!

However, no matter how threatening he was, he would try his best not to use it in times of war!

Cai Bixia did not know the actual accounts, so she gave an approximate price of six hundred thousand silver. However, this price was enough to shock all the Manchu officials present!

To such a large Manchu, six hundred thousand Silver was nothing. Many of the corrupt officials, who saw it with their own eyes, felt that it was not just a little!

However, six hundred thousand Silver, were only able to last for a few hours? The price was too high!

What was even more terrifying was that everyone present knew that the Chinese was a pure and honest place without any corruption. It could be said that these six hundred thousand silver taels were actually used for war!

It was no wonder that even after a night of fighting, not a single person of the other party was killed, not even a single wounded soldier was left of captive!

On the other hand, on his side, Manchu Eight Flag had lost more than 500 people in battle, while Xishan camp had lost more than 300 people.

Zero casualties against eight hundred ghosts. This inconceivable ratio made a lot of sense now that he thought about it!

"Damn it!" If my Soldiers could also receive such a large amount of military expenditure, we could similarly win the battle! " Peng Yulin was so angry that he stomped his feet on the ground!

He thought back to the times when they were still at long hair. Batches after batches of Brothers s charged forward while being bombarded by the Enemy's cannons. Batches after batches of Brothers s died, just like how they were when they were harvesting rice!

Of course, some ministers wanted to scold Cai Bixia for her boasting, but when they saw that there were so many unnamed weapons and equipment in front of them, they swallowed their words back!

Ceng Guofan's narrowed eyes suddenly opened wide. "Mr. Cai … Then how much is a Far? "

Cai Bixia respectfully saluted Ceng Guofan "Grand Marshal doesn't dare to not answer your question... Bloody Battle Europa's Far, our Chinese will not produce it anymore! "

"Don't misunderstand, not producing means that the model has been upgraded …" "The new Battleship is bigger in tonnage, more ferocious in firepower, longer range patrolling ability and stronger protection …"

"The initial budget for the new type of Battleship is 4.5 million silver taels … "After the mass production, it will gradually decrease to around 3.5 million silver …"

Great Marshal Zeng nodded his head, "A Battleship is only three to four million, your special forces need six hundred thousand? Isn't that too much of a boast? "

When these amateur Official s heard this, they immediately started to secretly provoke Big Boss, and it was Old Marshal who was shrewd and ruthless in the end, with one look, they saw through the crux of the problem!

Why didn't we think of that? Everyone turned to look at Cai Bixia, wanting to see how this Ox-Head had blown his top!

Unexpectedly, Cai Bixia did not care about the Grand Marshal's retort at all. Instead, she smiled and touched the side of his military cap that was exposed to the air, and gently pressed it behind her ears!

It was also at this moment that the female general unintentionally revealed all sorts of amorous feelings. Zai Chun's heart thumped when he saw it.

"It seems that Grand Marshal still does not have a deep understanding of Head of State! Head of State often says that this war of troops is also a business, a huge business! "

"And this business requires investment and output before there is profit!" Do you want to make a lot of money? "Then we have to invest in something that no one else in the investment department can do!"

"Is six hundred thousand gold?" I think it's still too little! It should be a little more, get him to spend a million silver! "

"The higher the combat power, the more we can win in battle, the more we can win in battle, the more our Chinese can earn in money!"

"If we win the fight, our business will naturally infiltrate into the opponent's territory! Will we be earning silver? "

"More importantly, we can produce so many good weapons. Do we have to be so loyal to ourselves? Wrong... We're selling it! The more powerful our weapons are, the higher the price! "

"Now that I think about it, isn't our investment very profitable?"

"There is a third way to make money! "Haha …" Cai Bixia sneered twice: "Slave our opponent!" After a victory, at least the losers should be allowed to reimburse the military expenditures, right? "

"At that time, wouldn't the cost be transferred to the opponent? That is why I say, this Army cannot be stingy, cannot be stingy, cannot be stingy! "

"Calculate every day. A single Lamp Grass is cheaper than two?" Then save it, when the cannon is on top of your head, won't you be saving the last copper coin for someone else? "

"More than six hundred thousand?" Hehe … The airship weapons are only owned by us Chinese and us, the Germany. You even take out such a new weapon, and you still want to sell it cheaply? "

"Cheap goods are not good... The old man had said this long ago, saving the time by waiting patiently! Ladies and gentlemen, why don't you save money? Save it... Then, just give your Army the big blade and lances, okay? "

"In my opinion, we shouldn't even bother using the long spears and sabers, just a wooden stick for each of us …" "It's so cheap!"

"What meat do soldiers eat? Balls of wild vegetables, rice with sorghum, noodle noodles..... "" No, no... " Just treat Army as a beggar and raise him! "

"Raising them to the end will only result in one failure after another. The silver that should have been used to strengthen the army, isn't it already in the pockets of the victors?"
