Chapter 265 265 Expensive War

On the frontal battlefield, the troops of the puppet empire retreated, leaving a pile of worthless The puppet defended Alanhill's pursuit, and many defenders of the Holy Demon Emperor didn't know about it.

These abandoned soldiers stayed at the high level of Alanhill's devastation. In just one morning, their defense line was broken by Alanhill. After repeated battles, Alanhill pushed the defense line south for a full 70 kilometers. .

However, after this, Alanhill also gave up the pursuit, stopped on the spot, and began to rest and replenish. The reason is no other, because after a fierce battle, Alanhill's frontline troops suffered huge losses.

If it hadn't been backed by the westward railway, if it hadn't cut down and intercepted some of the supplies that were replenished to the 9th Army, the 1st Army might not have been able to support it on the second day of the counterattack. Now that they stopped and rested, General Walter was sighed in relief.

Just as the 1st Army stopped its march south, Serris's wartime economics conference was called on time. All high-level officials in charge of production and the military left behind at Serris attended the meeting.

After all, the issues discussed in this meeting were left over from the fierce battle of the puppet empire.

Defense Minister, Archduke Higgs Castner expressed emotion at the meeting: "This may be the best war we mortals have ever fought in history! We have defeated the powerful The Magic Empire, the enemy didn't even break through our defenses!"

He was right, in terms of scale and results, this battle between Alanhill and the puppet empire was absolutely possible Said to be unprecedented. The number of troops on both sides involved in the war was fierce, and the battle was brutal. The results of the Mortal Empire surpassed any previous battle.

"Yes, but I'm sure, this is the most expensive war we've fought so far." Looking pale, looking at the rough statistics report, Gurlo took the pain. said.

In order not to fall behind in the battle against the puppet empire, the 1st Army, the main force of Alanhill, suffered heavy losses yesterday. The ammunition consumed is countless, and the cost is really touching.

Dez doesn't have much resistance to spending money. He first witnessed the rise of Alanhill, so in his subconscious, he believed that Chris had Spin a thousand of pieces of silver, all of them. come back! of the magical powers.

But even so, he was surprised by yesterday's consumption, and he agreed with Gurlo's statement: "Yes, the consumption of one day yesterday, the gold coin we threw out, is almost the same as the past human history. All the wars launched on the Internet cost about the same.”

You know, just over four years ago, Serris’s annual revenue was only about 1,000 gold coins. At that time, Chris was still worrying about his tax tribute, and when a country started a war, it was nothing more than spending tens of thousands of gold coins, or hundreds of thousands of gold coins.

But now, in a battle, the total value of the air-to-air missiles consumed by Alanhill has far exceeded the amount of 100,000 gold coins.

Now you know why so many modern air-to-air missiles use infrared combat missiles? Because radar-guided missiles are more expensive... From the seeker analysis, infrared-guided missiles are really cheap, so cheap that many technologies can even be extended to the civilian field.

The radar-guided missile seeker is very expensive, and the two sides are basically not on the same level. Therefore, even in the most rich and imposing countries, the seekers of air-to-air missiles are mixed. Long-range air-to-air missiles with over-the-horizon range use radar seekers to highlight their performance that they can be ignored after launch, and short-range air-to-air missiles are used for The infrared seeker also has more reasonable performance indicators to control the cost.

Of course, the wider locking range of the infrared seeker is also one of the main reasons why most combat missiles choose infrared seekers. However, the cheap price is indeed a reference reason. The Mika air-to-air missile is a counter-example. The price is scary...

Alanhill Due to special reasons, the cheap infrared seeker cannot be used, so it can only be used Expensive radar seekers are also a very tricky choice for combat missiles.

After all, the size of the infrared seeker is small, the missile can be made smaller, the maneuverability is better, and it is easier to hit the magician's size target.

Having said that, if Alanhill enters the technical field of second-generation infrared air-to-air missiles, then these problems can be solved: thermal imaging infrared guidance technology is more reliable and resistant to interference than the earlier pure thermal induction guidance technology. many.

If you count the assistance of other guidance modes, the brand-new infrared combat missile is not unusable, on the contrary, it will be added to the air-to-air missile camp to strengthen the guidance weapons of the Alanhill Air Force.

At least, when using infrared guidance, the locking area is very large, which is an incomparable advantage when launching air-to-air missiles at close range and large angles. No radar seeker can replace such an advantage.

These are all things to come. The basic situation now is that air-to-air missiles are still expensive radar-guided, and the price is still very high. In yesterday's battle, the MiG-21 launched a total of various targets. 190 sparrow missiles were fired, but the hit rate was less than half.

Even so, this missile has already shown its strong future potential: less than 100 missiles hit the target, killing dozens of targets, including giant dragon, with damage effect very good.

"Is there such a terrifying?" asked Rokai, the curious chief of staff subconsciously, after hearing Dez's emotion that the cost was staggering.

"We fired a total of 72 Scud ballistic missiles from yesterday to today, and more than half of them are the latest solid rocket motor models..." Glancing at Luo Kai, the general of the newly established Strategic Missile Army said. introduced .

This can be said to be quite a huge expense. You must know that a Scud missile costs a lot, and dozens of them are shot in one breath. The price is also very touching. Hearing this news, Luo Kai immediately closed his mouth.

His staff and commanding the battle are okay, so let him consider these costs, which makes him a bit of a headache. Yesterday he only thought about winning this sudden encounter, but he didn't think about the cost issue...

Under this kind of thinking, yesterday's 1st Army and 11th Army could find whatever they could find. What was used, basically the latest and most expensive weapons that Alanhill could find right now.

"Not just Scuds, ordinary rockets, including Katyushas, and larger models...we consumed more than 600 one day one night...the cluster bombs didn't work either. Less," another officer added.

"We shot 39 air-launched Super Hound missiles, and one of them crashed. Do you know how expensive these missiles are?" Another air force general glanced at Buttoria, who did not speak. The general, then each minding their own business added.

"Only yesterday, we had more than 1,700 planes, taking off more than 4,000 sorties in total, and pouring more than 8,000 tons of bombs and artillery shells on all the places we could hit." Butolia added at this time: "Do you know how expensive these bombs are? There are expensive armor-piercing bombs, as well as napalm and cloud bombs... Ordinary bombs are cheap in comparison. ."

Modern warfare, it's banknotes! Not to mention such high-intensity large-scale operations, even if it is a small-scale anti-guerrilla operation, the military expenditure consumed by the US military in the 21st century is enough to make people jaw-dropping.

After flipping through the records in front of him, Dez glanced at Chris who was sitting in the first place: "The troops poured at least 200 million rounds of bullets yesterday, about 200,000 rounds of large-caliber artillery shells, and the scrapped cannons have 27 guns, 3 guns that exploded, and more than 100 guns need to replace the barrels to continue to use.”

What is this concept? About one second, two shells landed on the position of the puppet empire! In one day, the shells kept falling two times a second, and there was no pause for a second! More than half of the entire War Zone has been covered by bomb craters, the soil has been loosened, and even some small highlands have been blown into small basins.

If you dig through the nearby soil, you can find either the remains of the puppet, or the blood clots of people, and of course, metal shrapnel, and bullet casings that fall under your feet and can't be picked up and recovered.

"To supplement such a huge consumption to the front line, the trains will have to use a considerable number of trains, and this does not include production problems." The official in charge of the railway opened his mouth to express his difficulties: "We have already The supplies to the 9th Army have been reduced, but to restore the 1st Army to the level of the day before yesterday, at least 50 trains of supplies are needed.”

“I will give an example, yesterday. We spent enough on playing medicine recipes that the Arrant empire went bankrupt four years ago." An official closed the report in front of him, looking the head.

The other official beside him sneered: "Bankrupt? They simply can't come up with that much money! You haven't counted the fuel consumed yesterday, and the soldiers killed yesterday... God knows How much money did we spend yesterday to build another Serris..."

Every fighter jet is expensive to take off, and until the 1990s, Huaxia fighter pilots spent very few hours of flight training each year , the purpose is to save the fuel of the strategic reserve and reduce the training cost of the troops.

A jet fighter takes off to fight once, which is almost enough to buy a Nissan car. Yesterday, the MiG-21 fighter took off and fought desperately, and even shot down a dozen of them. It can be seen how huge the oil they consume.

"Higgs has expanded oil production tenfold to support the war! It's good news that our oil fields in the Dothan Empire are also producing crude oil. There are also in the Jesno Empire. Oil fields..." the official in charge of oil production reported.

"Looks like it's General Coria going south to make money..." An official in charge of finance was sighed in relief when he heard this, shook his head and sighed softly. ►

The fourth update! In a while!
