Chapter 685 (1/2)
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? ”
