โ€•โ€•The following textโ€•โ€•

If you just feed these dozen mouths, you won't need so much at all, and after you have some staple foods, you won't need so much to bring some dishes.

But Cai Ruichen is not the kind of person who eats tightly in front and in the rear, it is impossible for him to eat big fish and meat in the rear, while the soldiers below eat white steamed buns, tomatoes or cucumbers every day.

Counting the daily consumption, Cai Ruichen had no choice but to slander the prices of the people in Iraq, but he could only start from the daily consumption.

If the real space is not in a country like Iraq, which is almost destroyed by war, but in any stable country, then the daily consumption of each soldier can be controlled at about ten dollars.

And this ten dollars is still the kind that is very good for three meals, and even from time to time you can organize a dinner party to reward the soldiers.

But in a place like Baghdad, because the flames of war have been burning for almost two generations, after Saddam Hussein was hanged, the country is no longer a country.

Naturally, prices have risen to a very high level, and the grain sold by international grain merchants in Iraq is already very expensive, and the domestic grain products are decreasing every year.

It's not bad to be able to maintain such a price, at least very few people have starved to death.

But this is not a comfortable thing for Cai Ruichen, and the cost of raising soldiers is nearly five times higher than that of other places.

If it's just a few mouths, then there aren't many problems, but the development of the base is about to reach a scale, so can it be called a soldier's nest.

This is obviously impossible, but at the moment he has no other means of obtaining food.

In general, if you want to stay on the dollar for a long time without being able to change prices, you need to reduce food consumption as much as possible.

Originally, according to Cai Ruichen's plan, a soldier should prepare at least 750 grams of staple food, 500 grams of vegetables and fruits, and 750 grams of meat every day during normal training.

In this way, the daily consumption has reached two kilograms, which is within the normal range for soldiers who train every day.

Cai Ruichen is already very experienced in this regard, after a week of training, he has to eat four meals a day, and each time he has to consume at least 750 grams of food.

Therefore, arranging 2,000 grams of food per day for soldiers can also maintain the training intensity and physical exertion of soldiers.

But now it seems that the money he currently has in his hand simply does not allow such lavish spending.

Otherwise, half a month later, everyone in the entire base will have to drink the northwest wind.

At least one month should be insisted on, which is a standard on Cai Ruichen's plan.

Cai Ruichen, who had no choice, could only start with the quality of food supply, cut off those more expensive meats, and start with staple foods.

Corn fried rice, which is something that most Iraqis will eat, originally just prepared white rice or steamed buns, steamed buns and the like, Cai Ruichen could only write cheap things such as corn fried rice into the plan.

Corn fried rice, which is enough for everyone, also doesn't cost much, which also reduces the amount of greens and meat.

After some calculations, the amount of food consumed by the soldiers per day was reduced to 1.5 kilograms per day, and the daily food consumption was also limited to 15 US dollars per person.

This is the result of Cai Ruichen's calculations, so that after adding ten mobilized soldiers and two military dogs, the daily consumption will be controlled at two hundred and fifty US dollars.

This daily consumption, Cai Ruichen did not see the largest number of generals, but still planned to supply enough for the general's needs every day.

It's a part of yourself that is chopped off, and it's a large part of it.

In the past, because he was not used to eating the staple food of Baghdad, and because he had a good appetite for training every day, he alone had to eat two crispy chickens, a piece of beef, and two eggs at the minimum of each meal.

The problem of food has already begun to be placed in front of him, and Cai Ruichen naturally has no way to spend it like before.

Strip those expensive expenses from your mouth and keep the supply of each meal at about thirty dollars.

Compared with the fifteen dollars per day consumed by the mobilized soldiers, Cai Ruichen was also quite guilty in his heart.

The price of goods in Iraq is fifteen dollars a day, and the mobilized soldiers do not even have an egg, which can only satisfy their daily feed.

And in the morning, only a steamed bun and side dishes were arranged, and the rice porridge was enough.

Only at noon and in the evening will you see meat.

The conditions are indeed not easy, but this is also the result of Cai Ruichen's calculations and trade-offs.

But although it has been compressed to a very low standard, the daily consumption has reached 250 US dollars, and the existing US dollars in his hand will last for about 20 days at most.

There are still three chances to draw in these twenty days, and if none of these three draws are drawn a unit that can change the situation.

Then Cai Ruichen has to consider whether to risk shooting bullets in real space.

He had inquired before that, and in the arms market in Marin Town, an AK-47 bullet assembled in a small processing factory was sold for a dollar.

The best bullets produced from the original AK-47 factory will cost 2.5 times as much as assembly, but they usually sell for three dollars per bullet, or there is no market for it.

Five points of capital can produce two hundred rounds of ammunition, which is equal to six hundred dollars.

Cai Ruichen had this idea of selling bullets for a long time, but it was impossible for him to enter the arms market, let alone sell bullets inside.

In addition, every time this original AK-47 bullet appears, it is purchased directly by the local warlords in Marin Town.

To be honest, to the extent that there is no way, Cai Ruichen really doesn't want to come into contact with those armed organizations so early.

Killing people and setting fire to the Golden Belt, being able to control such a key town in a place like Bagua City, this armed organization can't have clean hands and feet except for the thousands of armed people.

Now Cai Ruichen has no power or power, and there are only a few small soldiers under him, and it is impossible to compete with such an organization.

Once the other party messes around, the trouble will come, and besides, the base is under the No. 1 warehouse, and even if these people can't enter the base, it will be extremely dangerous.

After all, the base is not impossible to destroy, so Cai Ruichen is so jealous.

But if things really come to that point, you can only do what you don't want to do.

It's impossible for a soldier to go hungry with him!

Of course, Cai Ruichen also thought about whether he could get food in this wasteland world.

After all, there is a town next door, and even if all the food is destroyed, there are things like canned food and rice.

If the town can be controlled, the food crisis will also be alleviated to a certain extent.

Just if you want to enter the town and pull the things inside, you will inevitably have to encounter the monsters inside up close.

With this bit of soldiers and horses, it is impossible to deal with at least tens of thousands of monsters inside, rather than letting the soldiers die, it is better to go to the real space to fight once.

So as soon as this idea appeared, it was immediately extinguished by Cai Ruichen, and this kind of thing is impossible for the time being.

If you can get food from the town, you have to transport it by car, and the roads in the town are crowded with abandoned cars, which must be disposed of in advance.

This job is not easy, and it cannot be completed in a short time without a suitable engineering vehicle.

After some calculations, Cai Ruichen could only pray in the end that before the dollar was exhausted, he would draw a unit that could relieve the pressure on food.
