Chapter 803: A Thought
Munitions are just a general term, mostly referring to hot weapons, such as guns and ammunition, aircraft artillery, as long as they can be used as equipment for war, they can be called munitions.
Of course, it is impossible for Black Steel International to sell aircraft cannons, and in this world, even the source stone gun is a priceless existence.
....
Hearing Xia Feng's abrupt question, Ogul was stunned on the phone.
"Arms? What are you doing? ”
Xia Feng's tone immediately became relaxed.
"It's nothing, I'm just asking."
"Well.... If you need helicopter gunships, I can transfer a few of them for you, and if you are equipped, I can also lend you a batch, enough to arm your Black Feather brothers. ”
Ogul clearly misunderstood what he meant.
"Old Gu, I don't need equipment support, what I'm talking about is a complete set of standard equipment, a minimum standard of individual combat armament."
Speaking of which, Ogul seemed to understand the meaning of the summer breeze.
"How many?"
"I'll talk about how many sets there will be later, I want to know if your black steel military factory can provide it first."
"Grace ....."
Ogul thought for a moment.
"Of course, we can do the minimum standard of standard equipment, but you know, our military factories are not large-scale, and they mainly build high-end special equipment, so the production speed will be very limited."
"What is the production speed?"
"If you want a few hundred or thousands of sets, I can ship them to you quickly, but if it's in tens of thousands, I'm afraid you need to find someone else."
"Someone else? Do you know each other? ”
Ogul said confidently.
"Of course, if you want to say that the largest military factory in the west of Terra, of course, it must belong to Raytheon Industries, and our Black Steel has maintained cooperation with Raytheon Industries all year round."
After getting this answer, Xia Feng also had a bottom in his heart.
He doesn't understand military affairs, and ordinary skirmishes are fine, as long as he uses his fists to scare him.
But long-distance large-scale urban warfare requires a lot of things.
....
Subsequently, Xia Feng humbly asked Ogul for some experience in the armament of the army.
In the case of the Colombian Army, for example, the basic equipment of an ordinary combat soldier is:
Combat helmet.
Combat uniforms.
Combat boots.
Satchel.
Kettle.
A set of tactical carrying equipment.
Goggles.
Gas mask.
First aid kit.
It doesn't sound like much, but these things are not ordinary equipment, such as combat uniforms, etc., all have high-strength toughness, and the water bottle can also adapt to various temperatures.
As for weapons, ordinary soldiers were armed with long bayonets, sabers, shields, daggers, crossbow arrows, and so on.
Spell teams need special supplies that can quickly restore their stamina, and as for reconnaissance, communications, and special forces, they also need more special equipment.
What supports the efficient operation of the entire army is a large number of finished source stones.
....
After listening to Ogul's explanation, Xia Feng was a little confused.
To be honest, he started thinking that everyone would get a set of clothes and then issue a machete, and then he could go to the battlefield, but he didn't expect that he would need so many details.
Of course, it's okay to just take a knife and just go on top of it, but in a large-scale war, the gap in equipment will be maximized in the number of casualties.
In addition, the lack of equipment will be known to the enemy, and when the time comes, the enemy general may use a special tactic to target one of your equipment weaknesses.
For example, if you have poor night vision, he will engage in night battles, if you can't supply alone, he will engage in tug-of-war, and if your boots are not up to standard, he will have to fight in the mountains, etc.
According to Ogur, once the number of people in a war exceeds 10,000, the advantage of individual ability becomes smaller, and as the number of participants increases, the gap becomes weaker and thinner.
....
Subsequently, Ogul gave an approximate price for a set of equipment.
According to the above standards, it costs about 15,000-30,000 to arm a soldier.
Xia Feng quickly estimated it in his mind.
In a compromise, if one person is 20,000, 10 billion Terra is the equipment of 500,000 people, not including supplies, and various attrition.
This equipment was not provided to the Southern Military District, and of course, if General Aumont really needed it, he would not hesitate.
It's just an idea at the moment, and it's not going to be put into action, it's just that it's the worst he has to prepare for.
And the reason why he did not act on it was that he still had the last illusions about the battle.
....
Now, the big war is about to break out, and Xia Feng doesn't know that the current situation is not within the expectations of the empire, but no matter what, it can't be called smooth.
Objectively speaking, the current losses are far higher than the consequences of allowing the infected to continue to live, and it is a completely loss-making transaction.
Verin is a smart person, of course she will not be unaware of this kind of math problem that children understand, but on the other hand, since she has inherited the [wisdom] of the previous king, she will definitely see things that others can't see.
Since Verin made this choice in the first place, it means that she has already foreseen all this loss, and even so, she still insists on going her own way.
In other words, if she gives up now and chooses to stop, it will be really stupid.
It seems that the [truth] in Hela's mouth is enough to support her to expel the infected at all costs even if she gives up the stability of the country.
....
The cooperation with the equipment of the Black Steel was not determined, not because of the Black Steel, but because of Xia Feng himself.
Because, he hasn't made up his mind yet.
The duty of a soldier is to defend the country, and even in the face of sacrifice, there is nothing to say, because this is the psychological preparation they must be made.
But do the people of a country really have the obligation to defend the country with their lives?
Well, there should be reasoning, the rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband, and everyone should fight for their homeland.
What if it is a people who are not recognized by the state?
It's like a villager going up the mountain to pick mushrooms, and in the process he is attacked by a black bear in the mountain, who does not allow humans to enter his territory.
When the villager fled down the hill covered in bruises, he decided to leave the village because there were bears near the village that would kill him.
At this time, you stand up and wave your hand. "Don't run, I'll take you up the mountain to find the bear for revenge, as long as the bear is killed, you can continue to live in this village."
This sounds fine, but there is a huge subjective problem.
If the injured villager dies and wants to fight the black bear, then you have no problem helping him, and of course, you can also persuade him not to be impulsive.
But if this villager is ready to "can't you hide if you can't provoke him", he doesn't want to take revenge, he just wants to live, then at this time, you have to let him go with you to kill the bear, which is subjective incitement.
Your actions may kill the villagers who want to survive.
...
There are so many infected people in Victoria that as long as they leave the border, at least more than half of them will survive, and the rest will not die immediately.
Of course, the premise is that they give up a stable life.
But even so, there are still many people who want to live.
In this case, is he really qualified to be the one who inciting the villagers to kill the bear?
....
Whether it is to bring the people who trust him to the light, or to push those who are willing to trace him to the abyss.
Sometimes, it's just a thought.
