Red Alert Somalia

After the national funeral, Li Lan returned to the base. After a simple dinner, he came to the console alone.

The war has ended for three days, all the attrition statistics of the various units have been submitted, and all the inventory of arms has been counted.

Turning on the computer on the console, Li Lan saw a long list of items ranging from the most basic bullets to missiles. The comparison of various consumption and the original inventory made Li Lan feel a deep sense of powerlessness in an instant.

In two years, Li Lan had stored more than one billion rounds of various bullets. By the end of the war, there were fewer than 400 million bullets left.

In other words, in this war, the average soldier consumed more than 5,000 bullets.Among them, the most damaged light and heavy machine gun bullets, 7.62 mm general machine gun bullets, to 12.7 mm heavy machine gun bullets, and 20 mm machine gun bullets on armored vehicles.

Some of the bullets were lost after vehicles or helicopters were destroyed, but 600 million bullets are not a small number. If the weight of 600 million bullets for various signals has exceeded 20,000 tons, let An-225 For transportation, with its 250-ton cabin load, it also requires eighty Antonov-225s to pull it all at once.

But so many ammunition is almost consumed, of which the most consumed is the 7.62mm general-purpose bullet, which is more than the 5.56mm rifle bullet in the soldier's hand.This is mainly because of the terror consumption of the six-barreled Gatling. Thousands of bullets are gone after one minute. If the barrel is rapidly cooled, the amount of ammunition consumed will be even more terrifying.

After the battle of a city street, the armored vehicle and the Hummer's machine guns and machine guns were consumed, and it was extremely terrifying.

Fortunately, the most expensive bullet is the cheapest.Of course, this cheap is also relatively speaking, a box of 200 rounds, the price is five bases of funds.If you don’t count the cost of the large-caliber machine guns and cannons, just use the 5.56mm bullets of the Red Police Corps’ current standard. The consumption of 600 million rounds of bullets is an extremely terrifying figure, a total of 15 million base funds. It is already equal to the cost of a fast combat support ship. If the price difference of other bullets of various calibers is also to be included, it is only the bullets consumed.Can already be exchanged for an Aegis ship.

Of the two-year inventory, 40% is now left, and the war only lasted for seven and a half days.It can be seen how intense the war is.

Next time, it will take a lot of time to fill up all these 600 million bullets.Fortunately, the production speed of bullets is very fast.Tens of thousands of bullets a day are not a problem, it is enough to produce them immediately to support a moderate-intensity war.

The loss of firearms is not very severe, but the loss of shells and missiles is a very distressing figure.It is said that fighting is money, the coalition consumes a lot of money, and Li Lan is not just picking up peace.

As small as the 25mm cannon to medium-range ballistic missiles.The two-year inventory suddenly bottomed out.Although the quantity consumed is not much compared to bullets, it cannot bear the high price.

All missiles started with two thousand base funds. Whether it was a shotgun long-range rocket launcher system, various missiles on fighter planes, or missiles on warships, they were all piled up with base funds.

The cost of a supersonic cruise missile is 20,000 base funds.Same as medium-range ballistic missiles.The cheapest close combat bomb is 6,000 base funds, and individual anti-tank missiles also require 4,000 base funds.The cost of anti-ship missiles and air-to-air range bombs is more than 10,000 base funds.

Since the war, tens of thousands of missiles and artillery shells have been worn out, and the preparations and storage for the past two years have basically been exhausted.At present, apart from the artillery shells and missiles in the army, there is no inventory of 100 vehicles in the warehouse.Only by relying on non-stop high-intensity production can it continue.

Like the tactics of the coalition forces, the Red Police Corps also pursues that it would rather consume more artillery shells than fight with soldiers' lives.This is why.The war has only lasted for seven and a half days, but a large amount of inventory has been consumed.

The consumption of weapons such as tanks, fighter planes, and armored vehicles is about the same as the death rate of soldiers. On the battlefield, both sides have lost a lot of advanced weapons and equipment.

Although there is no large-scale tank duel, the main battle tanks of the two sides often meet in street battles, and the duel between the Apocalypse tank and the US military m1a2 will also be staged from time to time.In the battle for electronic equipment and technology, the advantages that the tanks of the two sides can play are not one-sided.The battle damage almost reached a one-to-one ratio, while the tanks and chariots of both sides suffered more from individual anti-tank weapons.

Compared with tanks, both sides prefer to use asymmetric means to attack each other.Neither the apocalypse tank nor the m1a2 can withstand the flood of anti-tank weapons from the other side. Once it reaches the weak position on the roof, it is easy to make the tank lose its ability to move and combat, and the result is slowly destroyed.

At this point, both sides are standing at the same starting point.No one took advantage.

Judging from the weapons losses of the First Heavy Equipment Division, there were ten heavy tank battalions in the division, with 320 tanks, and ten infantry battalions also had 330 multifunctional infantry fighting vehicles or multifunctional tracked vehicles. At the end of the war Later, the main battle tanks of the First Heavy Equipment Division dropped directly to about two hundred, and the armored vehicles of the Mechanic Battalion were only half left.After the war, the two combat helicopter battalions of the heavy equipment division can maintain the combat effectiveness of the two companies even if they are very good.

The artillery headquarters of the heavy equipment division was also uncomfortable. There were three 155mm self-propelled howitzer battalions, which left less than 15 artillery pieces, and two shotgun long-range rocket artillery battalions.

The combat effectiveness has been directly reduced by half. Although the enemy is uncomfortable and the loss is no less than the Red Police Corps, for Li Lan, the end of a war means that the strength in his hands has dropped by nearly half.

If he were to face this war again, he would not have much capital to continue fighting.

War is like this in the first place. If there is no bloodshed or loss in a war, it is not called a war.What's more, today's war is the result of a defeat that can be called on either side.

"Assistant, based on this data, calculate the entire situation of weapon consumption?" Li Lan has a headache after seeing the densely packed data.

In less than three seconds, the assistant gave a detailed information: "According to all the battle damage reports and statistics. In this war, our army consumed about 600 million rounds of bullets, and the total cost was 39 million bases. The cost of capital, converted into real currency, is about 10 billion U.S. dollars. It consumes 80,000 rounds of various shells, worth 12 million base funds. The cost of conversion into real currency is about 1.5 billion U.S. dollars. Consumes various models There are 12,000 missiles. The total cost is 120 million base funds, which is approximately equal to the actual currency cost of 15 billion U.S. dollars. The number of lost fighters is 148, and the total cost is 80 million base funds. Six billion U.S. dollars. Loss of 380 main battle tanks, a total cost of 60 million base funds, approximately 2 billion U.S. dollars in actual currency losses. Loss of armored vehicles..."

The assistant's voice was neither fast nor slow.And following its answer, in the middle of the computer screen, the numbers it introduced to Li Lan are listed one by one, especially at the end, there are two rows of bright red final statistics: total lost funds- 400, 000, 000 base funds.

Converted into the value of real currency, the total loss-65,000, 000, 000 USD.

"This money is burning fast!" Seeing a large string of zeros on the total.Li Lan could only pat her head, unable to say "shen yin".

The seven-and-a-half-day war cost 65 billion U.S. dollars. This does not count as soldiers’ pensions and post-war reconstruction. Otherwise, an additional 20 billion U.S. dollars would be about the same.If all commerce and industry are halted because of the war, the economic loss will be even greater.

At present, according to the economic performance of the three major cities of Bagua City, Bosasso and Erigab, it is not a problem to generate tens of billions of dollars in revenue for Somalia every year.After all, ports and industry are two pieces.Especially for oil, 800,000 barrels of crude oil per day can bring very good income.

Of course, Somalia’s losses are not small, and the coalition’s losses will only be greater.The casualties of soldiers and the consumption of weapons and equipment naturally did not take advantage of these coalition forces, but had an economic impact on the United States.This is the biggest loss for the coalition forces.

Somalia's economy has just started, and even if it starts from scratch, it will only take one or two years longer. However, the economies of the four coalition countries are already developed countries.Once severely hit, it is not easy to recover.It is definitely slower than Somalia's new start.

Thinking of the current losses of both parties and the impact on the future economy, Li Lan feels good about herself.

However, now he is busy again, the ammunition inventory must continue to be improved, and the organization of the troops must be gradually restored. The organization of the newly established Second Heavy Equipment Division will have to be suspended, and the soldiers and production personnel to be recruited in the next phase will be suspended. Weapons and equipment should first meet the supplementary needs of various units.

Click on the console, open the main item of tanks, and turn to the tank page. The last second-level Apocalypse tank is about to be produced. Li Lan taps a few fingers and directly chooses to build a hundred apocalypse tanks. The build list is in the front After the construction of that Apocalypse tank is completed, the countdown will begin.The construction time of the 100 bounced tanks displayed on the base is 120 days, or four months.This is the acceleration brought by the current base with nearly 87 tank factories. Otherwise, the construction time of an Apocalypse tank would be three days, and one hundred would be 300 days, and it would take ten months to complete.If you follow this speed, Li Lan can't afford to wait.

Fortunately, each tank factory can bring about half an hour of acceleration. So far, the construction time of each Apocalypse tank has been reduced to 28.5 hours.However, this is not unlimited, just like the rhino tank, which is still stopped in twelve hours of construction time.

Regardless of how many tank factories Li Lan built, this time has not changed.He had discovered this a long time ago. When the 48 tank factory was built, the construction time of the rhino tank reached twelve hours.After the construction of the 49th tank factory, the construction time of the rhino tank is still 12 hours.

At the beginning, Li Lan asked his assistant, but there was no answer that satisfies him. He quickly left the matter behind. In his opinion, this speed may be the limit speed of the base, at least he can't see it right now. There are any signs of breakthrough.

At that time, Li Lan also thought of using other methods to speed up the production of weapons and equipment and have a larger team as quickly as possible.For this reason, he has also worked hard to get the mechanical experts among the scientists to build a production line based on the module of the Apocalypse tank. The result is that Li Lan took it for granted.

Li Lan has also seen images of battlefield factories producing tanks and various weapons many times. To be honest, that kind of technology will be difficult for the earth to realize even after 50 years.The whole tank is divided into three or four modules, and each module is made like injection molding by a big guy similar to a 3D printer.Then through the assembly line of the robotic arm, assembly and reinforcement, so a tank came out.

But because of this production mode, Li Lan couldn't fully develop his own production line in a short time. There was no way for the rhino tank with the longest research time, let alone the Apocalypse tank.At that time, the scientists told Li Lan bluntly that there was no way to quiet the industrial level of Somalia as a whole.Unless it is a country like China and Russia, which consumes a lot of equipment and funds, can the production line of the rhino tank be developed.

It is not that Li Lan never thought that he really went to cooperate with Zhonghua, but he could not explain why he did not have a production line himself, but he wanted to develop and research with Zhonghua.How did these tanks come from?He couldn't explain this point, and the matter has been put on hold until now.

Fortunately, this speed is not slow now, if it weren't for a war, this speed would be enough.

But people who have no foresight must have immediate worries. Once Somalia breaks out an all-out war with a powerful country, this kind of production speed will slow down the war in the eyes.Nowadays, the production of weapons in the world takes into account the economic situation of their respective countries. Once a full-scale war breaks out, there is no concern at all. The sealed production lines will immediately be put into production of advanced weapons and equipment.At this time, Li Lan will fall into a very embarrassing state, because he found that he can produce one Apocalypse tank a day, while others can produce a dozen main battle tanks a day. This is Li Lan's foresight.

As the saying goes, there must be a way for the car to reach the mountain, and the boat to the bridge is naturally straight. For this reason, Li Lan has not thought about it too much now. No one will see it in the future. Now one step at a time is the most important.Maybe, in the future, this production speed will turn around!After all, a magical base vehicle, it is impossible for him to fall into a situation where weapons production speed is slower than others!

Of course, Li Lan did not pin his future on the base. He wants to develop Somalia's industry and hopes that one day the base's weapons and equipment can be produced in non-base industries. The combination of the two is king.As for Zhonghua, in Li Lan's words: "Your own things are the most secure."
