C3943 [That is not how the accounts are calculated!] (1/2)
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!
