Chapter 254 (1/2)
”You're crazy!” Neil roared loudly, ”now the situation of the territory is about to build an army factory? Do you think you have too much money? ”
”We can consider using war to support war.” Sean thought for a moment and felt that he was not crazy. ”As long as the military factory is established, we can raise the armament of the whole territory to at least one level, which is extremely beneficial to our current territory situation. And you see, we now have hundreds of dwarves and goblins. If these resources are not used, they are very wasteful. Can you expect goblins to go to the battlefield? ”
Neil frowned and thought for a moment, then shook his head, obviously disapproving of Sean's approach: ”two questions.”
”What's the problem?”
”First, the initial investment in our territory needs 1.7 million, but we still have about 2.5 million left.” Neil opened an account book and listed all kinds of financial revenue and expenditure data in detail, which can be described as clear at a glance. ”According to your calculation, the establishment of the military factory needs at least more than 1 million funds, which is related to the scale. If it is smaller, it can be, but it also needs at least about 1 million, and the territory can't leave reserve funds, So seriously, at least three million yuan is needed. How are you going to fill the 500000 vacancy? ”
Sean's brow was frowning. There was a vacancy of 500000 gold coins. It was really not a small number.
According to Neil's plan, after the establishment of the trade line in Hongye Town, the annual profit can reach 200000, but after deducting many other expenses, in fact, only about 100000 gold coins fall into Sean's pocket. Therefore, if this money is used to fill the 500000 vacancy, it will take at least five years.
Five years.
Who knows what it will be like five years later?
Neil waited for a while, but he didn't see Sean answer, so he continued: ”the second question, the cost of building an army factory is not terrible. But have you ever thought about where you're going to get the raw materials of the military factory? If you want to form an assembly line, at least you need ore in tons. Moreover, according to the quality of the equipment, the quantity of ore can never be single. This money is the real big head. Don't forget that there are no mines in our territory. ”
Strictly speaking, it's not that Sean's territory doesn't have a mine, but that the mine doesn't belong to Sean. Yasna dared to launch a national war for this mineral vein. Although Sean's relationship with yasna is in the honeymoon period, yasna can't share some of the mineral vein with Sean. Moreover, Sean can't create high-quality standard weapons just by this mineral vein, let alone demonized equipment.
”Is there no other way?” Sean is still a little reluctant.
”There is no way, but there are no mineral veins in our territory. Even if we build a military factory, it is a waste.” Neil shook his head. ”Anyway, for the current situation of our territory, building an army factory is somewhat unrealistic Moreover, I'm not particularly good at military issues, but I've seen these two production drawings. If the impact shield wants to form a scale at present, it's unrealistic, mainly because the cost is too high. ”
”Is there any way to get a hundred noodles first?” Sean reluctantly gave up the idea of building a military factory, ”I have an urgent need.”
”It's hard for a hundred faces to form a scale. Didn't you say that?”
”It is really difficult to form a scale in war, but it is different if it is used in other aspects.”
”What do you want?” Neil was puzzled.
”Wild land.” Sean said.
”I forgot that.” Neil suddenly patted his forehead and said with some annoyance, ”I forgot another big advantage of our territory. If we can catch a large number of slaves back to trade, it will also be a lot of income. And the people of the slave team can really make good use of it, otherwise it will be too wasteful. ”
Speaking of this, Neil suddenly smiled: ”by the way, speaking of these slave captors, you'd better go and see them.”
”What's the matter?”
”You'll know when you see it.” Neil smiled mysteriously.
With a trace of doubt and curiosity, Sean turned and left the main tent of the camp and walked towards the other corner of the camp.
Because he wanted to accept Vivian and leave the army, William asked Ruina to expand the camp with people, but this is only a way to cure the symptoms rather than the root cause. After all, this army is really too mixed, and the weapons they use are also diverse. Generally, this kind of situation has little value except when cannon fodder is used to die, but the gold content of this army is particularly high.
Not to mention the relatively rare races such as dwarves and goblins that are good at forging and scientific research, even the races that are good at fighting such as bear man, Tauren and werewolf are not common. You know, ORC slaves such as bear man and Tauren are expensive goods in the slave market. Their sales have never been packaged or sold in groups, but only in units.
In the trade capital, an adult Tauren often costs hundreds of gold coins. The price of a bear is higher than that of a Tauren.
Among the troops Vivian left to Sean, Tauren and bear accounted for the majority, nearly 300. If converted into gold coins, it would cost at least nearly 100000 gold coins. And there are werewolves, dwarves and orcs. The price has never been low, not to mention the creatures such as grey elves in this army. Although the gray elves are not as handsome as the elves of other ethnic groups, according to the standards of human vision, the men and women of the gray elves are pretty good, and their combat strength is not weak, so the price in the slave market has always been high, higher than the orc slaves such as bear people.
The army Vivian gave to Sean could at least earn hundreds of thousands of income if she sold it all. This is definitely a big deal.
The military camp is divided into several areas according to the habits of different ethnic groups. Now the militia in Baige town can only occupy a small corner and can not move at will as before. And perhaps it is the natural evil nature of mankind. The militia in white dove town despises the army given by Vivian to Sean, even if the people's army is only a second-class army, and this miscellaneous army is a third-class army.
