Chapter 1088 How to Earn Money From War?
Because of this accident, the logistics force of the entire Rahiman rear army lost more than 700 people and injured more than 1,000 people. After simply counting the corpses in the distance, Valad got another number that he didn't want to face:
Rahiman's army killed a total of two hundred and forty-seven enemy troops during the enemy's charge, relying on the arrows and the lives of the infantry.
The two air-dropped bombs in Karen Kingdom caused the death of 567 people on the spot and the loss of mobility of 670 people...
On this battlefield, "incapacity" can be directly equated with "death". In other words, the Karen Kingdom killed nearly a thousand enemy troops without a single soldier, and they were still elite cavalry!
And nearly a thousand people died on my own side, and the number of enemies killed could not even be compared with half a bomb.
Vallad felt that... when these things were reported to the parliament, he might be immediately questioned that he was making up things.
Sitting on horseback and continuing to walk towards Laxia City, he was in a daze for a moment—he picked up a piece of fragments that killed the enemy after the bomb dispersed, held it in his hand and kept looking at it...
Originally, Valad had doubts about how the Karen Kingdom could take back Rasha City with less than 2,000 people, but now he has no doubts.
The only thing Valad can think about now is how to resign as a commander decently: he doesn't want to bring this group of soldiers here to accept humiliation.
On the east wall of Rasha City, Rody, who had witnessed everything, was explaining the tactical use of planes and bombs to Merlinsera and Nafi in a nonchalant manner.
Because they were far away, they didn't have the deep experience of Valad. But seeing the enemy army collapsed by two bombs, both of them were curious about how this kind of thing was made.
"When you return to the Karen Kingdom, I'll take you to the military factory to find out. After the airport is completed, you don't need to take a boat to and from Rahiman in the future, you can directly take a plane and you can arrive within a day. The cockpit of the Shadow Whelpling is much more stable. In the future, Naifei, you don’t have to worry about contacting your classmates. Even if you write a letter to them, it can be delivered within three days. It’s even no problem to come to attend academic conferences every weekend. "
"Really? Great!"
As expected, Nai Fei smiled happily. Looking at the familiar smile, Rody relaxed a lot from his high tension.
Just as he was talking, Suo Deluoer came to the bottom of the city wall to ask for an interview, obviously preparing to report the military situation.
Rody beckoned the other party to come over, and after everyone saluted each other, he asked, "The bomb was used well, and you must be credited for this matter."
"To be honest, I took a lot of risks. I was afraid that the reconnaissance plane would make a mistake when pulling that thing."
Soderol's face was not happy, because the matter of "bombing the cavalry" was a temporary solution he came up with, otherwise the 40,000 reinforcements might not have reached Laxia City today.
The carrying capacity of the reconnaissance aircraft is limited. In order to load the bomb, most of the interior was dismantled before take-off to reduce weight. Even so, the pilot took great risks to perform the bombing operation.
The only fortunate thing is that two of the three bombings were successful, and the enemy was blown away. But Soderol was still full of sadness at this time: "This situation is really my fault... I didn't expect Rahiman's troops to be so useless. If that Vallad had one-tenth of the courage of the opposing commander, It’s not going to be or end up in such a situation now.”
He knelt down on one knee to beg for punishment. Rody would not blame him, so he helped him up directly: "Don't think too much about the things that have been resolved. We have the weapons of the generation and the air supremacy. In this case, try not to do it in the future." Just count on that group of trash, anyway, the matter of defending the city right now is to let them come for safety, otherwise I wouldn't go looking for this group of guys."
The two stood on the tower and looked into the distance, Soderol sighed: "The reconnaissance plane reported that the number of people crossing the river over there has exceeded 5,000, but there are not enough cavalry to continue to pose a threat. Tonight As long as we can let them enter the city, the subsequent battles will be much easier."
"How about the transport plane?"
"According to the plan, starting tonight, the infantry division and the mobile armor division will arrive one after another, and it is expected to be completed within ten days. I just received news that the military factory has completed the production of a large transport plane, and it is estimated that it will arrive here tomorrow afternoon. airport."
Suo Deluoer has a clear grasp of this information, but he is also a little worried: "But I asked about the spar consumption of each round trip of the transport plane... This is a big number."
"I have considered this issue when making the plan. The initial consumption can still withstand it, but... this means that we must earn enough oil and water in the future to pay back the cost."
Soderol frowned slightly: "Plunder?"
"To put it bluntly, it's called plundering. To put it bluntly, it should be called trading." Rody pointed to the scattered shadows on the horizon: "The cavalry of the Bindu Kingdom had traded with Rahiman before, and a large number of their weapons were You bought it from us, you probably didn’t expect it, did you?”
Not only Soderol, but also Melinsera and Naifei next to them blinked, never thinking that the business of the Karen Kingdom could still come here.
"Then they... were bombed by us?"
"War is war, and business is business. After the infantry division pushes the front line over, we don't want to kill and burn it all—it should be said that what we bring over is not only death, but also peace... After peace, everyone can Development, after development, everyone will make money together, so to speak, understand?"
What Rody said was very smooth, but Suo Deluoer understood a little after hearing it: "Is this considered... war fortune?"
"The Tasman is still being consumed by internal strife. Didn't they also provide their armaments?"
This model is actually somewhat similar to the United States during World War I and World War II, but Roddy is not a capitalist, but the country's prime minister. The benefits in this huge trade surplus are astonishing. He must firmly control it in his own hands in order to ensure that the army obeys his orders and thus ensure the stability of his own regime.
And too much "surplus" is not necessarily a good thing, so there is a series of plans to unite the dragons to print money to promote inflation. Otherwise, although the country makes money, the people will not be able to afford food due to severe deflation. This has happened in Spain in history, and Roddy doesn't want to repeat the same mistakes.
These things involve economics. Roddy is not even half a bucket of water, and Suo Deluoer doesn't understand even the superficial. He knew that he was in charge of the military. After he figured out the strategic intention of the Prime Minister, he stopped asking about other matters, bowed and retreated, and continued to prepare for the subsequent defense of the city.
